Item Number: 15
City Council / Board of Directors
Written Communications
Meeting of: October 20, 2026
Submitted By:

Noah Caracciolo, Acting Assistant Director of Utility Services

Subject:

Purchase of Seven (7) Pad-Mounted Electrical Switches
Recommendation:

The Honorable City Council:
(1) Approve the purchase of seven S&C PME pad-mounted electrical switches from Walters Wholesale Electric in an amount not to exceed $285,033.75, including sales tax and delivery; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to approve the purchase order and related documents.

Fiscal Impact:

This purchase will have a total fiscal impact of $285,033.75. The cost will be charged to the two capital improvement projects shown below.

Project / Account Equipment Qty Amount
Circuit 40&50 Extensions PME-11 4 $151,600.00
4202076-55080-30083 PME-10 1 $38,500.00
PME-9 1 $36,000.00
Sales Tax $19,783.75
Subtotal $245,883.75
Foxborough Sys. Upgrade PME-9 1 $36,000.00
4202076-55080-30082 Sales Tax $3,150.00
Subtotal $39,150.00
Project Total $285,033.75
Strategic Plan:

This item reflects Goal E: This purchase supports the City’s Invest in Infrastructure goal by improving electrical-system reliability, strengthening protection and redundancy, supporting future development, and reducing the potential duration and impact of customer outages.

Background:

Victorville Municipal Utility Services (VMUS) operates an underground electrical distribution system and uses S&C PME pad-mounted switchgear as standardized equipment throughout the system. They are the only open-air, manually operated switches currently used within the system. The distribution system has been specifically designed to accommodate their footprint and configuration. Purchasing an alternative product would therefore require compatibility modifications and could compromise standardization, operational consistency, and maintenance efficiency. These groundlevel secured switches allow utility personnel to control and isolate sections of the electrical system for maintenance and outage response. The fused configurations also protect equipment and help limit the effect of equipment failure for other customers.

Discussion:

The proposed purchase includes seven switches: four PME-11s, one PME-10, and two PME-9s. Six will be used for the Circuit 40 and 50 Extensions project at the Southern California Logistics Airport, and one PME-9 will be used for the Foxborough System Upgrade project.

The Circuit 40 and 50 Extensions project will add electrical cables and switches to parts of the system that do not currently have a backup power source. These improvements will help reduce outages, provide more flexibility in operating the system, and support future customers and system growth. The project is currently in the design phase and is expected to go out for bid later this year.

The Foxborough System Upgrade will add a fused PME-9 switch and connect an existing customer transformer to a protected switch position. This will help prevent a single equipment failure from causing an outage throughout the Foxborough system and will provide connection points for future expansion. Infrastructure work on the project is already underway.

Pursuant to VMC 2.28.100(b)2 this purchase is being done through the sole-source process (Attachment B) with Walters Wholesale Electric. Staff obtained quotes from the only three authorized vendors of the required product to ensure competitive pricing.

Walters Wholesale Electric submitted the lowest quote, with an equipment subtotal of $262,100.00. Sales tax of $22,933.75 results in a total purchase amount of $285,033.75.

Shipping and handling are included. Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of the seven (7) PME switches.

Staff remain available for any questions you may have

Written Communications
Meeting of: October 20, 2026
Submitted By:

Harry Mayo, Assistant City Engineer

Subject:

Amendment No. 3 to the Consultant/Professional Services Provider Agreement with Water Systems Consulting, Inc., for the On-Call Water Engineering Services Recommendation:

That the Honorable Victorville Water District Board of Directors (Board) approve Amendment No. 3 to the Consultant/Professional Services Provider Agreement with Water Systems Consulting, Inc., in the amount not to exceed $890,610 for On-Call Water Engineering Services, Project No. ESC23-026.

Fiscal Impact:

This amendment will increase the total compensation by $236,000. Many of the on-call services to potentially be provided include recoverable expenses paid by private development projects requiring special studies. A deposit from the developer is required prior to the initiation of the study so no billable expenses are incurred by the consultant before the City receives the funding. There are sufficient funds in the Fiscal Year 2027 budget to cover the expenses currently anticipated at this time. If the expenses incurred for the on-call services start to reach the amount currently budgeted, a budget amendment will be presented to increase the budget amount to address the additional future expenses. Therefore, additional appropriation is not required at this time. The budget account number, account description, and amount available are shown below:

Budget Account Number Account Description Amount Available 4104500 - 52300 Water Eng - Contract Svcs $183,805.62
Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal E, Invest in Infrastructure, in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026. The services provided by Water Systems Consulting, Inc. help identify infrastructure needs early, improve capital planning efforts, and support regulatory compliance. In addition, the water feasibility studies will assist the City in determining whether the existing water system can reliably support future growth, and if not, what infrastructure investments are necessary, when they will be needed, and the associated costs.

Background:

On June 18, 2019, the Board approved a Consultant/Professional Services Provider Agreement with Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) to provide on-call water engineering services. These services included water feasibility studies, water supply assessments, and general water planning support. WSC has provided these services since 2019, with contract amendments needed when additional development generates a need for water feasibility studies or updates to the hydraulic model.

On December 8, 2023, Amendment No. 1 was issued on the original agreement to increase the not-to-exceed amount to $486,610. This amendment expanded to include additional water feasibility studies and miscellaneous engineering services.

On June 15, 2026, Amendment No. 2 was issued to increase the not-to-exceed amount to $654,610. This amendment expanded to include additional water feasibility studies and miscellaneous engineering services.

Amendment No. 3 proposes an additional increase of $236,000, bringing the total contract amount to $890,610 over the five-year term. The contract term remains unchanged.

Discussion:

City staff received a proposal from WSC to complete on-call water engineering tasks and to provide additional support for major regional infrastructure projects requiring water utility coordination. The proposed tasks and associated costs are shown in Attachment A – Exhibit A and summarized below:
• Preparing Water Feasibility Studies - $62,000
• Prepare Water Supply Assessment Reports - $99,000
• Maintain and run the District’s water model - $5,000
• Hwy 395 Utility Coordination - $20,000
• Brightline Utility Coordination - $5,000
• 2027 Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment - $5,000 • Other as-needed engineering duties - $40,000

City Council / Board of Directors
Written Communications
Meeting of: October 20, 2026
Submitted By:

Harry Mayo, Assistant City Engineer

Subject:

Approval of Agreement with Dokken Engineering for Project Initiation Document for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash
Recommendation:

That the City Council approve a Consultant/Professional Services Provider Agreement with Dokken Engineering in an amount not to exceed $492,961 for the Project Initiation Document for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash, Project MS26- 125.

Fiscal Impact:

This action will result in a fiscal impact of $492,961. An additional appropriation is not required. This project will be funded by Road DIF, Fund 352. The budget account number, account description, and amount available are shown below:

Account No. Fund Total
3524500-55330-63018 Road DIF $500,000
Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal E, Invest in Infrastructure, in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023–2026. Entering into an agreement with Dokken Engineering will provide the City with a planning document to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash and establish the technical foundation necessary to advance the project toward future environmental clearance, funding opportunities, and subsequent design phases.

Background:

The City of Victorville is evaluating the feasibility and timing of when it will be necessary to extend Eucalyptus Street across the Oro Grande Wash to provide an additional eastwest connection to the Golden Triangle area. It is believed this missing segment along the Eucalyptus Street corridor will help improve connectivity within the City’s transportation network and local environment by reducing trip times, vehicle emissions and create a more sustainable community. The area has been experiencing much residential development over the past decade. The Golden Triangle is generally bounded by Bear Valley Road to the north, US-395 to the west, the California Aqueduct to the south, and Interstate 15 (I-15) to the east. The continuing growth within this area has increased the demand on the existing transportation network while access to the Golden Triangle has remained unchanged. Access from Interstate 15 is currently limited to Bear Valley Road and the US-395/Main Street corridor in Hesperia.

The proposed Eucalyptus Street Extension will cross the Oro Grande Wash and connect the existing segment of Eucalyptus Street west of Cloverly Avenue, east to the existing segment of the road that connects to Amargosa Road on the west side of I-15. The additional east-west connection has the potential to improve access and circulation to existing and future development, provide an alternative route to Bear Valley Road, and support long-term regional transportation connectivity. The proposed extension is being designed to provide a direct connection to the Eucalyptus Street/I-15 Interchange project to be constructed by the City of Hesperia. The timing of the interchange construction is currently unknown; however, the proposed extension is being planned to accommodate the future connection once the bridge is constructed.

In 2005, the Cities of Hesperia and Victorville jointly prepared a Project Study Report– Project Development Support for the proposed Eucalyptus Street/I-15 Interchange-- which was subsequently approved by Caltrans. The prior study evaluated interchange configurations, regional circulation, congestion at the Bear Valley Road and Main Street interchanges, environmental considerations, right-of-way impacts, and preliminary project costs. The proposed Eucalyptus Street Extension will need to consider the findings and assumptions of the prior interchange studies and maintain compatibility with potential future interchange improvements, including scenarios where the roadway extension and interchange are implemented independently or in phases.

To evaluate the feasibility and future implementation of the proposed Eucalyptus Street Extension, the City issued a Request for Proposals for preparation of a Project Initiation Document (PID) in the form of a Project Study Report–Project Development Support (PSR-PDS). The PSR-PDS will evaluate existing and projected traffic conditions and transportation deficiencies, determine the anticipated timing and need for the wash crossing, and develop and evaluate conceptual improvement alternatives. The study will also address conceptual roadway alignments and geometrics, bridge crossing requirements, hydrology and hydraulics, environmental constraints and permitting, rightof-way and utility impacts, preliminary project costs, risks, project development schedules, and implementation strategies.

The completed PSR-PDS will provide the technical foundation for the future planning, design, environmental documentation, project programming, funding pursuits, corridor preservation, and subsequent phases of project development.

The RFP was released on June 10, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting held on June 22, 2026. Proposals were due July 16, 2026. Two proposals were received by the deadline: Dokken Engineering and Kimley-Horn. Following review of the proposals and evaluation tabulation, Dokken Engineering was identified as the highest-ranked proposer.

Discussion:

The next step to advance the project is preparation of the Project Initiation Documents (PID) in the form of a PSR-PDS. The RFP requires a multidisciplinary evaluation of existing conditions, purpose and need, traffic operations and regional circulation, conceptual alternatives, environmental constraints and permitting, hydrology and hydraulics, geotechnical conditions, right-of-way and utilities, preliminary cost estimates, implementation strategies, and future funding and project development considerations.

Dokken Engineering submitted a proposal that includes preparation of the PSR-PDS and coordination with specialized subconsultants including David Evans and Associates, Inc. for transportation analysis and Geocon Consultants, Inc. for geotechnical services. The proposed work includes evaluation of three potential alignment alternatives, bridge crossing and structure concepts, phasing alternatives, and an evaluation matrix. The proposal also addresses existing and future traffic conditions, including scenarios with and without the proposed Eucalyptus Street crossing and with and without the future Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange.

The technical work also includes evaluation of the Oro Grande Wash hydrology and hydraulics, drainage, scour and erosion considerations, environmental constraints, CEQA/NEPA considerations, utility conflicts, right-of-way impacts, title research, acquisition and relocation cost considerations, preliminary construction cost estimates, and implementation and funding strategies. The completed PSR-PDS will provide the technical foundation for future environmental studies, funding applications, corridor preservation, and subsequent design and implementation phases.

The RFP evaluation criteria consisted of Qualifications, Related Experience, and References (30 points); Proposed Staffing and Project Organization (30 points); and Work Plan (40 points). The evaluation of the proposals found that Dokken Engineering received an aggregate score of 93.4 out of 100 and Kimley-Horn received 89.6 out of 100.

Therefore, Dokken Engineering was found to be the most qualified and highest-ranked consultant that submitted a proposal.

Staff recommends approval of a Consultant/Professional Services Provider Agreement with Dokken Engineering in an amount not to exceed $492,961, for preparation of the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash Project Initiation Documents.

Staff is available for any questions Council may have.

DOKKEN ENGINEERING
Engineering Solutions from Concept to Construction
Our team has thoroughly reviewed the RFP and understands the City’s objective to evaluate the feasibility of extending Eucalyptus Street across the Oro Grande Wash to establish a vital new east-west corridor that enhances circulation, improves access to developing neighborhoods within the Golden Triangle, and supports long-term regional connectivity, including future integration with the planned Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange. Our team has performed a site visit to gain a full understanding of the project and identify key constraints of design. These key project considerations include:
x Developing alignment alternatives that balance roadway and drainage design requirements, vertical clearance constraints associated with existing SCE transmission lines, and construction access and staging needs. x Evaluating opportunities to phase corridor improvements based on anticipated traffic growth within the Golden Triangle and surrounding region.
x Identifying feasible wash crossings that minimize impacts to the existing SCE transmission corridor and sensitive environmental resources while accommodating floodplain, hydrology, and hydraulic requirements. x Identifying right-of-way constraints and coordination requirements with agencies such as the San Bernardino County Flood Control District and SCE to minimize project impacts and potential schedule delays. x Considering future traffic demands generated by the planned I-15 interchange improvements.

Based on these considerations, our team developed an Overview Exhibit on page 4 in the Project Understanding and Technical Approach section that presents three potential alignment alternatives for the Eucalyptus Street Extension. Each alternative is designed to minimize impacts to existing SCE transmission facilities and sensitive environmental resources, accommodate crossings within the Oro Grande Wash 100-year and 1,000-year floodplains, and meet the planned roadway classification requirements. A detailed discussion of each alignment alternative is provided in the Project Understanding and Technical Approach section on page 8.

Our multidisciplinary team combines extensive High Desert experience in transportation planning, roadway and bridge design, environmental clearance, utility coordination, right-of-way assessment, and Caltrans project delivery. We will develop practical, cost-effective alternatives that balance mobility needs with environmental, utility, drainage, and right-ofway constraints. Through a collaborative approach, we will provide the City with the information needed to make informed decisions, pursue State and Federal funding opportunities, and advance a feasible project that supports both near-term transportation needs and the City’s long-term vision for regional connectivity and economic growth.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

AND TECHNICAL APPROACH

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL
Project Initiation Documents for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash

Project Understanding and Technical Approach
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING | TECHNICAL APPROACH
The City of Victorville is proactively planning for infrastructure improvements to address the region’s continued growth and increasing transportation demands. As development continues throughout the High Desert, particularly within the Golden Triangle area, the need for additional transportation connectivity has become increasingly critical. Our team has thoroughly reviewed the RFP and understands the City’s objective to evaluate the feasibility of extending Eucalyptus Street across the Oro Grande Wash to establish a vital new east-west corridor that enhances circulation, improves access to developing neighborhoods, and supports long-term regional connectivity, including future integration with the planned Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange.

The City is seeking comprehensive
professional services to prepare a
Project Initiation Document (PID) in
the form of a Project Study ReportProject Development Support (PSRPDS), consistent with Caltrans standards and procedures. This
effort will require a multidisciplinary
approach that integrates
transportation planning,
engineering analysis, environmental
considerations, and interagency
coordination. The PSR-PDS will serve
as a planning document to define
the project purpose and need,
evaluate viable conceptual
alternatives, identify constraints,
and develop the technical basis
necessary to advance the project
into environmental clearance,
funding pursuits, and subsequent
design phases.

The proposed Eucalyptus Street Extension represents a significant opportunity to improve regional mobility, reduce congestion along adjacent east/west corridors such as Bear Valley Road and Main Street in the City of Hesperia, and support continued residential and economic growth within the City. The project will address existing circulation gaps within the transportation network by providing a new crossing of the Oro Grande Wash and enhancing connectivity between US-395 and the future I-15 interchange. Our team understands the importance of developing practical, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious solutions that align with the City’s General Plan, Strategic Plan, and regional transportation goals.

Our team’s experience includes planning, environmental, and design efforts for major High Desert transportation corridor projects such as the Rock Springs Road Bridge over the Mojave River, Bear Valley Road Bridge over the Mojave River and BNSF Railroad, and Yucca Loma Road/Yates Road/Green Tree Boulevard Transportation Improvement projects, all of which involved balancing transportation needs with utility, environmental, right-of-way, drainage, and engineering considerations.

We will use a strategic, collaborative approach to develop feasible alternatives and evaluate implementation strategies, so that the City is in a favorable position to obtain funding and successfully deliver future phases.

Our team has reviewed the documents provided in the RFP with the requested scope of work and we’ve performed a site visit to gain a full understanding of the project and identify key constraints of design. The following table summarizes some of the key project issues we’ve identified and describes our solutions and the benefit our team will bring to the City of Victorville. These key project features are discussed further in this section. We have prepared a Project Overview Exhibit on the following page to show potential preliminary alignment alternatives for the Eucalyptus Street Extension.

ISSUE SOLUTION BENEFIT
Alignment Alternatives Development
Development of feasible
alignment alternatives will
require an interdisciplinary
approach.

Our expert multi-disciplinary team
will collaborate to provide key
insights during alternative
development. Our team will identify
potential constraints early, including
utility conflicts, right-of-way impacts,
environmental concerns, and
constructability considerations.

Dokken’s experience developing
alternatives for projects such as the County
of San Bernardino’s Rock Springs Road
Bridge over the Mojave River project
provides a key benefit to the City. We will
efficiently develop alignment alternatives
that balance impacts while meeting the
City’s goals.

Phased Corridor Approach
The City’s General Plan identifies
the Eucalyptus Street Extension
between Topaz Road and
Amethyst Road as a Super
Arterial, which the Standard
Drawings define as a 6-lane
roadway with a 128-foot right of
way width. The initial
implementation of this roadway
may not warrant a 6-lane road
from a traffic perspective, so a
phased approach will be
considered.

Our team recommends evaluating
interim and ultimate roadway
configurations, including an interim
four-lane roadway within the ultimate
six-lane Super Arterial corridor
footprint. This interim improvement
will reduce upfront construction costs
and enable the City to deliver the
roadway sooner. It will also establish
the critical roadway infrastructure
needed to support the future
interchange project and serve as a
catalyst for developer-funded
roadway frontage improvements.

The Green Tree Boulevard Extension
project implemented a similar phased
approach to accommodate the initial traffic
demand. The interim roadway pavement
was constructed along with the ultimate
grading and bridge structure. As the area
develops, the ultimate roadway and
frontage improvements will be constructed
as a condition of development. The Dokken
team proposes a similar phased approach,
minimizing construction costs until future
development necessitates the ultimate
roadway improvements.

Oro Grande Wash Crossing Constraints
The Oro Grande Wash crossing
involves significant challenges,
including sensitive habitat,
hydrologic constraints, steep
canyon grades, construction
safety concerns, and high
structure costs.

Identifying a feasible wash crossing is
key to project delivery. Our team will
work with the City to evaluate
practical alternatives that address
structural, environmental, drainage,
material and equipment staging, and
operational constraints.

Dokken’s High Desert wash crossing
experience includes the Rock Springs Road
and Bear Valley Over the Mojave projects,
both currently under construction. These
projects successfully balanced
environmental, utility, right-of-way,
structural, and hydrologic constraints. We
will apply this experience to identify
feasible crossing alternatives and move the
project into environmental clearance and
design.

Utility and Right of Way Impacts
SCE owns and maintains an
overhead electrical utility
corridor that crosses the
proposed Eucalyptus Street
extension. Understanding the
impacts to utilities as well as
private properties is critical to
identifying and resolving the
impacts early.

Our team will work with the City to
identify alignment alternatives that
balance roadway geometry and
impacts to utilities and right-of-way.

Dokken’s team includes in-house
right-of-way staff that can assist with
identifying right-of-way constraints.

Dokken is very familiar with the Caltrans
right-of-way certification and utility
verification processes. We will provide
expedited utility coordination services
based on our past local project
experiences, which will ensure there are no
project delays.

Interchange Coordination
The future interchange
improvements will be a key
consideration when performing
the traffic analysis, evaluating
construction phasing, and
developing design alternatives
for the Eucalyptus Street
Extension.

The Dokken team reviewed the 2005
PSR-PDS for the interchange to
understand the footprint of that
project. The team will use the
information presented in the PSR-PDS
to develop corridor alternatives that
remain compatible with the
interchange project but will also
function independently if constructed
first.

The Dokken team has experience working
on interchanges in District 8, including
Limonite Ave / I-15 and Scott Rd / I-215.

Our D8 interchange experience gives us
unique insight into the Caltrans
requirements and considerations for
designing and constructing a new
interchange, which will allow us to consider
those challenges as we develop
alternatives for the Eucalyptus Street
Extension.

Existing and Projected Regional and Circulation Needs
The proposed Eucalyptus Street Extension is located within the City’s Golden Triangle area, which the RFP defines as the area generally bounded by Bear Valley Road to the north, Eucalyptus Street to the south, US-395 to the west, and Interstate 15 to the east. The General Plan identifies the Golden Triangle, circled in yellow in Figure 1 to the right, as extending south to the City limits, as shown in the figure to the right. The Golden Triangle has experienced significant residential growth over the past decade and continues to represent one of Victorville’s primary growth areas. Numerous residential communities have been developed throughout the area, with additional projects currently under construction and others in various stages of planning and entitlement. As development continues
throughout southwestern Victorville and the surrounding High Desert region, travel demand is expected to increase
substantially, creating a need for additional transportation infrastructure that supports both local and regional mobility.

The City’s General Plan designates the Eucalyptus Street corridor as a Super Arterial between Topaz Road and Amethyst Road, transitioning to a Major Arterial east and west of those limits. Per the City’s Standard Drawings, the planned Super Arterial section consists of a six-lane roadway within a 128-foot right-of-way, reflecting the corridor’s intended role as a major east-west route serving the southern portion of Victorville, see typical section below.

The future extension will provide a critical connection between US-395, the planned Eucalyptus Street / Interstate 15 interchange corridor, and the developing residential communities within the Golden Triangle. The corridor will provide an alternate route to Bear Valley Road to the north, and the City of Hesperia’s Main Street to the south. Main Street and Bear Valley Road currently act as the primary east-west corridors in the Golden Triangle and surrounding areas. The Eucalyptus Street extension will improve connectivity to schools, commercial areas, recreational destinations, and future development areas located on both sides of the Oro Grande Wash. In addition, it will reduce emergency response time by providing a more direct route for first responders.

While the General Plan identifies this corridor as a Super Arterial, our team recognizes that initial traffic volumes may not warrant a six-lane roadway. Similar to the approach that the Dokken team used on the Green Tree Boulevard Extension project, our team will evaluate a two- or four-lane interim configuration. This phased strategy will allow the City to construct improvements that meet near-term demand, acquire or preserve the full 128-foot corridor required for ultimate conditions, and avoid costly rework or widening constraints in later phases.

The Green Tree Boulevard Extension project was successfully constructed using this phased strategy. The bridge and grading were constructed to account for the ultimate Super Arterial width, but the roadway was constructed and striped as a two and four-lane roadway for the interim phase. This approach will allow the City to widen the roadway to a six-lane road when projected traffic volumes demand. Our experience on the Green Tree Boulevard Extension project provides our team with practical insight into balancing near-term circulation needs with the City’s long-term transportation objectives and funding realities.

Transportation Deficiencies and Operational Concerns
While the Golden Triangle continues to experience substantial residential growth, transportation infrastructure within the area has not expanded at the same pace. Existing east-west circulation is heavily dependent on the Bear Valley Road and Main Street corridors, which serve as the primary routes for residents traveling to and from neighborhoods located west of I-15 and the Oro Grande Wash. As traffic volumes continue to increase, these facilities are experiencing congestion, particularly during peak times.

The Eucalyptus Street extension would reduce congestion on the parallel east-west routes, specifically Bear Valley Road within City limits, by distributing traffic
across multiple corridors. The project would
also improve access to existing and planned
residential communities while providing an
additional route for emergency vehicles, as
well as daily commuter trips to school and
work.

Similar transportation network benefits were
accomplished on the Yucca Loma Road/Yates
Road/Green Tree Boulevard Extension
project. This east-west road and bridge
extension project crossed two major
obstacles to east-west travel, the Mojave
River and the BNSF Railroad, to provide
multi-modal route options. The Eucalyptus
Street Extension has the potential to provide
similar long-term circulation benefits for the
southwestern portion of Victorville.

In addition to operational concerns regarding roadway connectivity, our team will also evaluate the intersection control that will be required at interim and ultimate phases within the project limits. For example, at the Topaz Road and Amethyst Road intersections, traffic volumes are expected to increase as development occurs and the corridor becomes operational. While traffic signals or other intersection control devices may not be required initially, the ultimate roadway geometry and rightof-way needs should accommodate future signals and roadway widening. Planning for these future improvements in the PSRPDS phase can avoid costly retrofits and operational constraints later.

Roadway Design Considerations
The proposed Eucalyptus Street Extension would
connect Topaz Road and Amethyst Road. East of Topaz
Road, an existing paved posted 45-mph roadway serves
the residential neighborhood to the north and would be
widened southward as part of the project. This segment
of Eucalyptus Street is the only existing paved roadway within the project limits. West of Amethyst Road / east of the Oro Grande Wash crossing, an unpaved road
provides access to residential properties located along Eucalyptus Street. An existing paved road extends
easterly to Amargosa Road from the Amethyst Road
intersection. Once Eucalyptus Street is paved and
widened, access to the unpaved roadway crossings will
need to be re-established for the remaining residential properties. In addition, Southern California Edison (SCE) maintains access roads within its transmission corridor.

All alignment alternatives must preserve SCE operations and maintenance access, and any disrupted or severed
access routes would be restored or reconstructed.

Oro Grande Wash

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL
Project Initiation Documents for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash

In addition to maintaining access to SCE facilities, adequate vertical clearance between the proposed roadway and the overhead transmission lines must be maintained. It will be critical to coordinate with City staff to obtain survey of the lowest overhead line in order to develop preliminary roadway profiles. The City's Street Improvement Design Requirements state that the maximum roadway grade for a facility of this classification is 7 percent (%). As a result, it may not be feasible for the roadway profile to drop into the wash and climb back out to avoid conflicts with the overhead lines. While a steeper vertical profile could improve clearance beneath the transmission lines, it could also result in roadway grades that exceed City standards. Balancing roadway geometry, vertical clearance requirements, and the profile of the wash crossing will be an important consideration during alternatives development.

Oro Grande Wash Crossing Considerations
Crossing the Oro Grande Wash is a key project challenge due to the need to balance flood control requirements, environmental constraints, bridge type and constructability, right-of-way needs, and impacts to the adjacent electrical transmission corridor. These key challenges must be evaluated together to identify feasible and effective project alternatives.

As part of our preliminary review for this proposal, we developed three potential alignment alternatives that avoid direct impacts to the existing SCE transmission structures while providing a feasible crossing of the wash. x Alignment 1 travels south of the SCE transmission structures and crosses the wash nearly perpendicular to the channel, which minimizes structure length, encroachments into the Oro Grande Wash, and impacts to existing SCE maintenance access roads. This alignment deviates the greatest from the existing east-west alignment of Eucalyptus Street and impacts 14 parcels. The shorter approach length west of the wash limits the rate at which the roadway profile can descend, resulting in the highest minimum bridge profile of the three alternatives, though various profile options will be evaluated.
x Alignment 2 also crosses south of the SCE structures and traverses the wash at a slight skew, which increases the structure length. Alignment 2 provides additional flexibility in roadway and tie-in conform geometry compared to Alignment 1. This alignment impacts 13 parcels. The longer alignment provides additional profile length, allowing the roadway to descend lower into the wash while meeting the City’s maximum profile grade design criteria. Multiple profile configurations will be evaluated to balance structure length and retaining wall height. x Alignment 3 travels north of the SCE structures and crosses the wash at a more significant skew angle, resulting in the longest structure length of the three alternatives, but avoids direct impacts to residential structures. This alignment partially crosses into land owned by the San Bernardino Flood Control District, and impacts 13 parcels.

This alignment would cross under the SCE overhead line where the sag is the greatest. Maintaining vertical clearance to the lowest overhead line would be critical when developing the profile. This alignment would also require SCE’s maintenance access road through the wash to be reestablished.

While each potential alignment varies as it crosses over the wash, all three alignments propose connecting to the existing Eucalyptus Street at the Topaz Road and Amethyst Road intersections. As noted previously, this segment between Topaz Road and Amethyst Road is identified as a Super Arterial, with a Major Arterial planned east and west of those intersections.

These portions of the alignment that are common to all three alternatives will generally match existing roadway grades. Right of way acquisitions will be required to meet the roadway width for the planned classification. The existing portion of roadway within the project limits, located just east of Topaz Road, will be widened to the south to match the cross section of the proposed roadway. West of Amethyst Road, access to the unpaved roads running north-south will need to be re-established, either by constructing local road connections at the intersections or developing alternate access routes.

Each preliminary alignment presents a different balance of structure length, roadway geometry, right-of-way acquisition, utility coordination, and environmental impacts. Similar tradeoffs were evaluated during development of the Rock Springs Road Bridge over the Mojave River project, where alignment alternatives were screened based on utility conflicts, right-ofway impacts, environmental considerations, constructability, and cost before a preferred alternative was selected. Our experience on the Rock Springs Road Bridge project demonstrated the importance of evaluating alternatives from a multidisciplinary perspective early in project development to identify the most practical and implementable solutions.

Utility Easements and Utility Coordination Challenges
Utility infrastructure presents a significant consideration in the development and evaluation of feasible corridor alternatives.

The Eucalyptus Street Extension study area contains a variety of existing utility facilities, including water, gas, electric, and telecommunication. These facilities are owned and operated by multiple agencies and utility providers, including Mojave Water Agency, Victorville Water District, Southwest Gas Corporation, Southern California Edison (SCE), Charter Communications, and Frontier.

A significant project constraint is the existing SCE transmission corridor that crosses the proposed roadway alignment. Existing SCE facilities within the corridor include major transmission towers, utility poles, and numerous overhead lines carrying voltages ranging from 115kV to 500kV. In addition to owning the transmission infrastructure within the project area, SCE also owns the parcels that the proposed corridor will need to cross, making early coordination with the utility a critical component of alternatives development.

The proposed wash crossing and associated roadway profile will require evaluation to ensure adequate separation from existing overhead transmission facilities. The overhead lines currently dip down into the wash, which may cause vertical clearance issues with the proposed structure. In addition, SCE maintains access roads to transmission structures throughout the
corridor. Preserving safe and continuous access for utility operations and maintenance will be an important design
consideration for all alternatives evaluated.

Coordination with SCE will be necessary throughout project development given their property ownership within the project area and the potential for impacts to existing facilities. If relocation, modification, or easements are required, utility coordination efforts could become a critical path item affecting both project schedule and implementation costs. Due to the proposed work within the SCE-owned parcels, the City will need to execute an agreement with SCE, which will need to be approved by the CPUC. Utility design, review, permitting, and construction activities often require extended lead times, particularly for transmission infrastructure, and these requirements must be considered when evaluating alternatives.

Dokken Engineering has extensive experience coordinating with SCE, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), and other utility providers on projects involving utility easements, encroachments, and facility relocations. On SANDAG’s San Dieguito Lagoon Restoration Project in San Diego, CA, Dokken provided
preliminary engineering and final design for environmental mitigation improvements. The project included grading
activities within the vicinity of existing SDG&E overhead transmission and distribution facilities, requiring close coordination to avoid impacts to critical utility infrastructure.

As part of the restoration effort, Dokken supported the rerouting of overhead power lines and the expansion of
SDG&E’s utility easement to accommodate the proposed
improvements. Through proactive coordination with utility stakeholders and project partners, Dokken helped successfully advance the project while maintaining utility operations and meeting environmental restoration objectives. Construction of the project was completed in September 2024.

Additionally, on the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry Project, Dokken Engineering coordinated with SDG&E, Caltrans District 11, SANDAG, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to obtain approvals associated with SDG&E’s 30-inch high-pressure natural gas main located within a 40-foot-wide easement along the U.S.-Mexico border. To accommodate the proposed crossing and travel lanes while preserving utility access rights, Dokken led development of a Director’s Deed Easement (DDE) providing alternate access to SDG&E’s gas regulation station and a Consent to Common Use Agreement (CCUA) documenting property rights and approved encroachments within SDG&E’s easement. Dokken facilitated stakeholder negotiations and obtained approval of both agreements before submitting them to the CTC and CPUC for Section 851 approval. Following CPUC approval in May 2026, the agreements were recorded in June 2026, preserving SDG&E’s operational access while keeping construction on schedule.

Bridge Crossing and Constructability Considerations
The Oro Grande Wash is over 3,000 feet wide and approximately 60 feet deep with steep (greater than 2H:1V) side slopes.

As the proposed bridge spanning over the Oro Grande Wash represents the largest cost consideration for the project, costeffective solutions for crossing the wash must consider the existing site topography, geology, seismicity, and hydrology in conjunction with proposed horizontal alignments and vertical profiles. Horizontal alignment and vertical profile alternatives presented previously will be evaluated for construction cost, property and environmental impacts, and constructability in the wash and under the overhead SCE electric lines.

The Victorville area recently experienced a 1,000-year storm event in December 2025, which caused extensive flooding that overtopped local roads and temporarily restricted vehicular and emergency vehicle access across the wash in some areas.

With this recent event in mind, any bridge crossing should effectively span the 1,000-year storm water surface area to provide a reliable corridor for residents and emergency responders during high intensity storm events. Considering the width and depth of the Oro Grande Wash, the 1,000-year storm water surface area is well contained within the wash canyon walls. As such, cost-effective bridge crossing would not need to span the entire wash canyon. Proposed bridge abutments at the ends of the structure would be placed 10 feet outside the 1,000-year storm event water surface limits to minimize the structure costs while ensuring the bridge supports remain protected from major flood events.

Horizontal alignment alternatives spanning perpendicular to the wash would be the most cost effective from a construction aspect, though impacts to existing properties and associated right-of-way costs must also be considered with the development of alignment alternatives. Vertical profiles that maximize vertical clearance under the existing SCE overhead transmission lines while reducing the bridge height over the wash will also be studied to maintain construction clearances and minimize material costs and seismic deflections to preserve bridge serviceability after a major seismic event.

Intermediate support piers for the bridge should be skewed from the horizontal alignment to be parallel to water flow to minimize hydraulic and scour impacts. Worker safety and preservation of materials and equipment during flash flood events must also be considered when developing material and equipment staging areas and providing sufficient access corridors.

Environmental Constraints and Permitting Considerations The PSR/PDS effort will evaluate and develop corridor
alternaƟves to support future funding opportuniƟes and
environmental clearance for a new east-west transportaƟon corridor. The project aims to improve regional connecƟvity and provide a connecƟon to the Golden Triangle area.

Environmental involvement in this phase will be focused on providing the City the informaƟon needed to anƟcipate
challenges, Ɵmelines, and costs for future phases. Our team will idenƟfy all future environmental clearances,
consultaƟons, permits, and miƟgaƟon that will be required.

We will also work with the team to idenƟfy opportuniƟes to avoid sensiƟve, and Ɵme-consuming, environmental
constraints where possible. Dokken will format the results into an Environmental Constraints and Permiƫng Memorandum
(ECPM). The ECPM will include a Caltrans Preliminary Environment Study (PES) Form as an aƩachment. By including the PES Form, this inclusion will streamline the NEPA environmental review process should Caltrans Local Assistance be the NEPA lead agency during PA/ED, which will save the City both Ɵme and money.

Oro Grande Wash

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL
Project Initiation Documents for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash

Dokken’s environmental team has idenƟfied three key environmental consideraƟons that must be acknowledged during the PID phase to ensure the project is accurately scoped for future phases.

Biological Impacts
The City of Victorville General Plan 2030 idenƟfies several natural desert upland plant communities within the Victorville Planning Area, as well as riparian communities associated with the Mojave River and its floodplain. During Dokken’s site visit, we identified many Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) that are present throughout the project area.

Because Joshua tress are protected by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), impacts to these trees will require adherence to the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act and likely a CDFW 2081 Incidental Take Permit. Dokken has obtained over eight Incidental Take Permits from CDFW in the past 5 years, and we understand that they are very time consuming and the mitigation required is often extremely costly.

The Mohave ground squirrel (Xerospermophilus mohavensis) is a California state-listed threatened species that occurs in portions of the western Mojave Desert, including suitable habitat areas within and around the City of Victorville. Because the project area is located within a portion of the Oro Grande Wash, there is potential for the species to utilize adjacent desert scrub habitats for foraging, sheltering, or movement. During the PID phase, Dokken biologists will do a deep dive on research and coordination with California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) / Mohave ground squirrel experts to determine the likelihood of their presence and what steps will be needed during the environmental document and future project phases. On other projects, measures have included establishing exclusion buffers, modifying construction activities, restricting work in occupied areas, or other protective measures to avoid impacts to the species. Minimizing impacts to endangered species and initiating strategies for creative mitigation will be a primary focus of ours during this phase of the project.

Regulatory permits will be required for impacts to the Oro Grande Wash. Dokken has received permits for multiple
large transportation projects in the region including the City’s Green Tree Boulevard Extension Project. Based on recent Clean Water Act changes, we anticipate that the Oro Grande Wash will not be considered a Waters of the U.S., which will eliminate a couple of the permits required
including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404
Authorization. The Oro Grande Wash is still considered a Waters of the State, which will trigger permits from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Lahontan Regional Quality Control Board (under their Porter-Cologne authority). Dokken’s environmental team has secured
approvals from the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board for six public agency transportation projects and has a good relationship with staff including Jan Zimmerman. Dokken will outline the applicable environmental processes that will be needed as well as regulatory coordination and permitting approvals.

Cultural Impacts
The Oro Grande Wash corridor and greater Victor Valley have functioned as a critical corridor for movement over time, as emphasized in the 2030 General Plan. The Project area is sensitive for both pre-contact and post-contact cultural resources as well as built environment resources, as indicated by the buildings over 50 years old that are present east of the wash.

Research will be conducted to assess the potential for resources that could be impacted by the Project.

Context Sensitive Design consistent with City of Victorville General Plan 2030 and West Mojave Plan
The Dokken Environmental team will identify the environmental constraints within the project site to inform the engineers as they create design alternatives. Some resources include the following: Sunset Ridge Park (Section 4(f) resource if there will be a federal nexus with a USDOT agency, such as Federal Highway Administration/Caltrans via NEPA Assignment),
residential homes and the few homes on the west side and east side of the project study area, respectively, have potential for outside use and may be noise sensitive receptors, and a 100- year floodplain is located within the Oro Grande Wash.

The West Mojave Plan (WMP) is a Habitat Conservation Plan and federal land-use amendment designed to protect sensitive species and their habitats in the western Mojave Desert, including the Desert Tortoise, Mohave Ground Squirrel, and nearly 100 other plant and wildlife species. We will use the West Mojave Plan as a conservation guidance planning document and will incorporate concepts into the project as applicable.

Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Drainage Considerations
The Oro Grande Wash is the major drainage channel within the project limits. Dokken will analyze the wash to
understand hydraulic impacts to the wash, design a crossing meeting local, state, and federal requirements, and provide scour mitigation measures. San Bernardino County Flood
Control (Flood Control) has performed flood control studies of the wash and in 2019 constructed the Amethyst Basin, which provides flood control and water supply reliability to the City of Victorville. Flood Control also plans to construct the upstream Mesa Linda Basin as future development
needs arise as part of a larger Oro Grande Wash Detention Basin Study to provide greater flood control to the
developing area adjacent to the Wash. The project area is not located within a FEMA-designated floodplain.

Historic and recent storm events, including the December 2025 storm events, exemplify the need to study and plan for storm events greater than the usual 100-yr probability event. The Dokken team will analyze the 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000-yr storm events for the Wash to understand how flow rates impact each of the crossing alternatives. The new (2026) Flood Control Hydrology Manual will be used as the basis of this effort including obtaining bulking factors and updated hydrologic parameters. Dokken performed
preliminary hydraulic modeling of the wash using both the 100 and 1000-yr storm events as part of this proposal. The 100-yr storm event does not fully extend to the existing incised channel limits. During preliminary design, the
Dokken team will work to understand if this difference is due to past larger than 100-yr events, erosive soils,
meanders, or other factors as this understanding will be critical to the crossing structure design.

Geotechnical Considerations
West of the intersection with Amethyst Road, Eucalyptus Street is unpaved and extends approximately 1,600 feet to west, where it intersects the eastern rim of the Oro Grande Wash. The crossing distance to the western rim is approximately 1,500 feet. Side-slopes of the wash descend at gradients on the order of 7:1 to 9:1 (H:V). Ground surface elevations at the east and west rims are approximately 3,320 and 3,340 feet above sea level, respectively, while the wash bottom is situated at approximately 3,270 feet (approximate elevations per Google Earth). Beyond the wash, the surrounding areas consist of relatively flat rural desert, with sporadic residential and commercial developments of increasing density.

Published geologic maps of the area indicate that the project alignment is underlain by Pleistocene aged older alluvial soils.

Geotechnical explorations performed by Geocon within approximately 1 to 2 miles of the site and within the same mapped formational materials extended to a maximum depth of approximately 50 feet. These explorations encountered formational soils consisting of silty sands and sands, with gravel and occasional cobbles. Groundwater was not encountered in these explorations. Based on published regional groundwater information, anticipated depth to groundwater is deeper than 400 feet.

Our team will perform a feasibility-level geotechnical study for the proposed project. The work will include preliminary characterization of subsurface conditions and geologic setting, consideration of seismic hazards, and identification of key geotechnical constraints and risks in order to provide planning-level recommendations to support bridge feasibility, including preliminary foundation concepts, scour/erosion and wash-related geohazards, and constructability considerations. The geotechnical feasibility effort will be consistent with a Caltrans Structure Preliminary Geotechnical Report (SPGR).

Coordination Considerations Associated with the Proposed Eucalyptus Street / I-15 Interchange Area
The timing of the proposed Eucalyptus Street / I-15 interchange is unknown and may occur before or after the construction of the Eucalyptus Street Extension. As a result, it may be appropriate to evaluate interim and ultimate roadway configurations that satisfy the corridor’s short- and long-term traffic demands, as mentioned previously.

Corridor alternatives should preserve compatibility with the ultimate interchange configuration while functioning as standalone improvements if implemented first. Key considerations include roadway geometry, traffic operations, access management, and minimizing the need for future reconstruction. Similar challenges were encountered on the Green Tree Boulevard Extension project, where improvements were designed to support both interim and ultimate corridor operations.

The 2005 PSR-PDS and Traffic Analysis Report that was prepared for the proposed interchange provides a valuable starting point for understanding long-term circulation patterns within the area. Our team will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the existing traffic and multi-modal transportation facilities. Next, our team will identify the traffic conditions without and with the proposed wash crossing and justify its implementation to determine when construction of the east-west corridor over the Oro Grande wash will be needed based on traffic performance measures established in the scoping agreement.

Traffic performance measures will evaluate a combination of roadway performance (i.e., delay, travel time, etc.) and intersection performance (i.e., delay, level of service, vehicle queuing, etc.) on parallel / critical corridors such as Bear Valley Road, Sycamore Street, Amethyst Road, Topaz Road, Amargosa Road, etc.

Our team will develop traffic forecasts based on proposed development, regional growth, land use plans, and other supplemental data to estimate future traffic demand. The future year forecasts will be based on SBCTA’s current regional travel demand model and will consider a with and without the I-15 / Eucalyptus Street Interchange project. Our team will interpolate performance data between opening year and future conditions of the surrounding critical corridors to identify the year when the wash crossing will be required. This analysis will help the City plan, program, and pursue State and Federal funding for the corridor improvements.

Right-of-Way and Corridor Preservation Considerations
The proposed Eucalyptus Crossing over the Oro Grande Wash project may require coordination with multiple property owners and agencies due to existing property interests, utility easements, and infrastructure located within the study area. Based on available information, corridor alternatives may affect property interests associated with Mojave Water Agency, Southern California Edison (SCE), San Bernadino County Flood Control and other adjacent property owners. As part of the PSR-PDS effort, Dokken Engineering will identify potential right of way impacts, utility easement conflicts, coordination requirements, and project risks associated with the proposed alternatives. This information will assist the City in evaluating alternatives and understanding potential right of way considerations during future project phases.

Potential relocation impacts will also be evaluated as part of the right of way assessment. x Alignment 1 may impact a total of fourteen (14) parcels, including APNs 0405-322-05, 0405-451-01, 0405-451-02, 0405-451-03, 0405-451-04, 0405-451-49, 0405-451-46, 0405-451-47, 0405-451-07, 0405-451-08, 0405-451-54, 3072-201-08, 3072-201-09, 3072-201-10.

3. Parcels identified for potential impact will be further evaluated during project development to determine the extent of acquisition, easement, and relocation requirements associated with each alignment alternative.

Funding and Project Implementation Considerations
While the future needs of the Eucalyptus Street extension may justify a six-lane roadway, initial traffic volumes and available funding may not justify constructing the ultimate improvements during the initial phase. A phased implementation strategy, similar to the Green Tree Boulevard Extension project, should be considered. On Green Tree Boulevard, the bridge and grading were constructed to the ultimate corridor width while roadway improvements were limited to the operational needs of the initial phase. This approach reduced upfront construction costs while preserving the City's ability to expand capacity later as development occurs.

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL

For the Eucalyptus Street extension, the City could preserve the ultimate 128-foot corridor and construct a four-lane roadway initially, with widening occurring when traffic volumes warrant additional capacity. This approach avoids future right-of-way acquisition challenges, allows funding to be focused on the most critical improvements, and eliminates the need to reconstruct major infrastructure such as the bridge crossing.

Future development may also contribute to implementation of the ultimate roadway section. As adjacent properties develop, the City can condition developers to dedicate right-of-way and construct frontage improvements consistent with the ultimate cross section.

Anticipated Risks, Challenges, and Critical Decision Points Associated with the Project The primary challenge for this project will be identifying an alignment that balances roadway operations, utility impacts, rightof-way requirements, environmental constraints, structure cost, and long-term implementation. During our site visit, we identified a few major constraints: the SCE transmission corridor, the Oro Grande Wash crossing, and compatibility with the future Eucalyptus Street / I-15 interchange.

The SCE transmission corridor will be a key factor in alignment selection. The location of the towers and overhead lines will influence both the horizontal and vertical alignment of the roadway. While coordination with SCE will be required since they own parcels in the project area, direct impacts to transmission facilities could significantly affect project cost and schedule.

The wash crossing is another project challenge. Bridge length, roadway profile, hydraulic impacts, environmental impacts, and overall project cost vary significantly between our preliminary alignments that we have identified. We will evaluate the possible alignment alternatives and balance impacts to select a preferred alternative. Similar tradeoffs were evaluated during development of the Rock Springs Road Bridge project, where utility conflicts, right-of-way impacts, and construction costs all influenced selection of the preferred alternative.

Compatibility with the future Eucalyptus Street / I-15 interchange will also be an important consideration. Because the extension may be constructed before the interchange, the preferred alternative should support an interim roadway configuration while preserving the ability to construct the ultimate roadway and interchange improvements.

Our experience on projects such as the Yucca Loma Road/Yates Road/Green Tree Boulevard Extension, Rock Springs Road Bridge, and Bear Valley Road Mojave River Bridge has shown that many project risks are best addressed during planning rather than design. Early identification of major constraints allows the City to focus effort on feasible alternatives and establish a clear path for future environmental clearance, funding, and design.

STATE AND FEDERAL PROCEDURES
The City of Victorville may pursue State and Federal funds for this project, which will require the project to comply with State and Federal funding requirements. Every Dokken Engineering project requires coordination and compliance with State and Federal regulations. Our team has extensive experience working with Caltrans, Federal Highway Administration, and Federal and State Resource Agencies. Our team understands the Caltrans and FHWA project development process and has obtained invaluable insight into the local agency side of project funding, programming, authorization paperwork, and Federal regulations that apply to local agency project delivery with Caltrans local assistance oversight. We will use these skills and knowledge (from the delivery of over 3,000 projects, including more than 2,500 federally funded projects) to ensure projects are successfully delivered and compliant with oversight agency requirements.

Because Dokken is focused on transportation projects in California and routinely performs federally funded work, our accounting procedures and calculated overhead rates completely conform to California and Federal requirements. We are routinely audited by Caltrans for conformance with these requirements and our overhead is very established and steady. We Rock Springs Bridge

maintain a financial management and accounting system as required by 48 CFR Part 16.301-3, 49 CFR Part 18, and 48 CFR Part 31. We will certify that all costs included in the contract are allowable in accordance with the cost principles of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) of Title 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 31 and that the fee proposal does not include any costs which are expressly unallowable under the cost principles of the FAR of 48 CFR, Part 31. Our demonstrated financial responsibilities, and familiarity with federal cost principles, are some of our strengths.

In addition to our understanding of the Caltrans process, John A. Klemunes, Jr. our President, is a former FHWA employee and has applied his federal experience in developing project delivery and funding solutions to assist clients in the timely completion of their projects.

John has prepared and guided the preparation of numerous funding applications for local agencies through Caltrans Local Assistance and has been able to secure these funds to deliver their projects. John has successfully delivered projects with Federal Funds and understands the requirements to deliver a project on time and within budget.

If the City utilizes Federal funding, the development of plans, specifications, and construction cost estimate (PS&E) must follow standard Caltrans (State) and FHWA requirements following the Federal Aid Process, which include obtaining E-76 approvals, and compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and full compliance with Chapter 11 of the Local Assistance Program Guidelines. Caltrans will be the NEPA lead agency for this project and the City will be the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) lead agency.

Dokken Engineering’s environmental staff has extensive experience with NEPA/CEQA policies and procedures. We have a close relationship with Caltrans environmental staff and we will assist the City with all Federal Caltrans paperwork and requirements. Dokken Engineering will work closely with the design team to ensure that the projects do not have any unmitigable environmental impacts. We are prepared to address project impacts by including reasonable avoidance and minimization solutions early in the project design phase.

The flow chart to the right identifies the Federal Aid Process and demonstrates our understanding of the paperwork required. There is a specific process that each agency must follow. Since our team has a proven track record of project delivery, we know the steps in this process, when exhibits need to be submitted but also when the FHWA holds all additional funding requests in order to close out their fiscal year.

Understanding the process is important, but it is also necessary to have established relationships with the Caltrans reviewers within the Caltrans Local Assistance group. Understanding their specific requirements allows our clients’ project to move forward without delay.

Through our years of experience, our team has developed several lessons learned, which has allowed us to be successful in delivering Projects with Federal Funds.

This first list of lessons learned below is specific to the Federal paperwork process.

1. Ensure we engage the District Local Assistance Federal program manager or liaison for concurrence with the strategy. Otherwise they might not concur when the CON RFA goes in (which is a disaster that we have encountered in the past).

2. Having the Right of Way (ROW) Request for Authorization (RFA) reviewed by the District BEFORE the NEPA CE is signed. This streamlines the approval process by meeting with the District near the end of the Environmental process to make sure they understand the project and the ROW needs.

3. Having the CON RFA reviewed by District BEFORE PS&E and ROW Certs are submitted. This review includes meeting with the District Local Assistance Engineer near the end of design to make sure they understand the project.

4. Preparing all the utility paperwork in Caltrans format and meet with Federally designated utility coordinator.

These sound simple, but when these steps are skipped, projects will drag on or change course severely which will further delay the project.

The following lessons learned and best practices are based on Dokken Engineering’s experience delivering roadway and bridge projects and are directly applicable to the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash project.

1. Study Limits - Give major consideration to construction equipment access and staging up front while you’re determining the study limits for environmental.

2. Project Footprint – Before Dokken Engineering established in-house environmental services, we often had to revise environmental studies, because the final project impacts extended beyond the work limits. This extra step is no longer an issue now that the engineers and environmental planners sit together.

3. Communication - We find that frequent communication between Dokken Engineering and the City keeps projects moving faster.

4. Meeting Efficiencies – We bring large, oversized project exhibits to all meetings with the City staff, Caltrans Local Assistance, Resource Agencies and the Public. These large exhibits seem like a simple item, but they greatly enhance everyone’s understanding of the project, its impacts and make our meetings more productive.

5. 2025 (or most current) Specifications – Dokken Engineering is extremely careful to ensure all necessary items are included and that these items use the same name on the plans, special provisions, and the bid item list.

CALTRANS EXPERIENCE
While the proposed improvements for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash are not anticipated to impact Caltrans right-of-way, our team has extensive experience navigating the Caltrans approval process for on-system and off-system projects. We work with Caltrans on almost every project we deliver, be it as a direct teammate delivering an on-call task order, partnering with Caltrans to deliver an on-system project for a local agency client, or delivering a local agency project with federal funding through Local Assistance. Through these experiences, our team has developed an intimate knowledge and understanding of the processes, procedures, and expectations for project delivery.

Our team and our staff know and use all of Caltrans’ guidance manuals (PDPM, LAPM, CADD User’s Manual), design guides (HDM, Design Information Bulletins), standards (Standard Plans/Specifications), and CAD/design platforms (MicroStation/Civil 3D). We utilize the WBS, project milestone designations (M200, M300), project delivery checklists/tools, and documentation procedures (LON Determination Record, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, Value Analysis). We have prepared and received approval of numerous Caltrans documents, including but not limited to Project Study Reports, Project Reports, Modified Access Reports, New Connection Reports, Design Standard Decision Documents, Storm Water Data Reports, Design Engineering Evaluation Reports, Controlled Access Highway Agreements, and Freeway Agreements.

We have also established strong working relationships with District 8, having worked with staff from all Caltrans functional units from the planning phase through construction on local agency-sponsored interchange projects, On-Call Contracts (Districts 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 59), and on Caltrans Local Assistance projects. Our familiarity with Caltrans requirements allows us to efficiently navigate the approval process and minimize project delivery risks for local agency projects.

The Dokken team understands the importance of the Eucalyptus Street Extension as a transformative project that will improve east-west connectivity, support continued growth within the Golden Triangle, and provide a critical link to the future Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange. Our multidisciplinary team will leverage extensive High Desert experience in transportation planning, bridge and roadway design, environmental clearance, utility coordination, right-of-way assessment, and Caltrans project delivery to develop practical, cost-effective alternatives that balance mobility needs with environmental, utility, and implementation constraints. Through a collaborative and phased approach, we will position the City to make informed decisions, pursue State and Federal funding opportunities, and advance a feasible project that meets both near-term transportation demands and the City’s long-term vision for regional connectivity and economic growth.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
PLAN

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL
Project Initiation Documents for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash

Project Management Plan
Dokken is Relentlessly Dedicated to Project Delivery – It is our dedication to help solve our clients’ problems, enabling them to “cut the ribbon” on their projects, and realize the benefits to the community and the environment as expeditiously as possible. With a deep understanding of the City’s need on this project, Project Manager Mary Elizabeth Westrum has personally selected key staff that, 1) share Dokken’s values for project delivery, and 2) are well-respected within the industry for their respective fields.

Unique to the Dokken team, is the number of long-tenured staff that have stayed with Dokken Engineering for over 15 years. This unique trait is beneficial to the City of Victorville because it provides strong continuity. Richard Fernandez, City of San Diego, presented these benefits as “knowledge retention, effective collaboration, consistent decision-making, reduced ramp up time, and risk mitigation - the team has seen it before.” This continuity extends to our key teaming partners and subconsultants. Dokken has assembled a team that has a long history of collaboration – through projects we have worked on or involvement in professional organizations. We are able to recall past experiences and relationships to work well together.

Dokken Engineering’s mission is to provide superior service to our clients for all their infrastructure improvement projects.

The best way we achieve this is by being responsive and flexible to our client’s needs. We have developed a system to manage contracts that has been proven to be efficient, responsive, flexible, and simple for our clients. Our system is simple; it is founded on clear communication within our team as well as with the City staff assigned to the project, which ultimately streamlines the project delivery process and allows all work to be completed on schedule and within budget. The following is a bullet list of the tools we use to stay on schedule and within budget:
x Being Responsive. Nearly every engineering project is time sensitive for various reasons. Dokken understands the nature of these circumstances and we place a high value on responsiveness; as a result, we are ready to assist the City in taking advantage of limited windows of opportunity on short notice. x Developing Comprehensive Scopes. A comprehensive scope is required to develop an accurate schedule and fee.

Our goal is to accurately define the project scope and eliminate contract amendments. x Developing a Critical Path Schedule. Developing an accelerated schedule requires the ability to understand the entire development process and determine the schedule for critical path tasks. Each of our projects is guided by a project baseline schedule, clearly indicating milestones, major activities, and deliverables at a level of detail appropriate to the project and phase.
x Starting with the End in Mind. Successful engineering designs require foresight and proper perspective at all stages of the project’s development. Our focus considers the big picture from the start and refines the view to a more detailed perspective as the project progresses. While the project constantly evolves and adapts, our focus always points toward final PS&E and construction.
x Preparing Detailed Preliminary Engineering. Detailed preliminary engineering provides the foundation for the project from concept to completion and results in accurate cost estimates at the beginning of a project that can be relied upon for budgeting.
x Preparing Constructible PS&E Packages. We use a proven process that begins with base mapping and alternative development, with construction in mind at every design phase. x Being Responsive During the Construction Phase. Our focus is getting projects built. We will support the City and their team in bid evaluation and acceptance. We will prepare for pre-construction meetings, provide additional drawings as required, respond to RFIs and review contractor submittals.

Dokken’s no bureaucracy culture and responsive team make us a very nimble consultant. This dexterity, combined with our knowledgeable and experienced staff, allows us to respond to a wide range of needs promptly and thoroughly. Our team is committed to responding quickly to task orders and ensuring each project is completed on time and within budget.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Our project management philosophy is to treat every client as if they are our only client. For us, project management means contract compliance, meeting budgets and schedules, maintaining accurate file systems, and assembling the appropriate team to do the job. It means monitoring subconsultant work, progress reporting, and assisting our clients with the hundreds of details involved with project delivery.

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL
Project Initiation Documents for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash

“I look forward for the opportunity to work with Dokken Engineering on future projects. This team always was agreeable to provide additional support when called upon and put the delivery of the project first.” - Greg Gastelum, Former Acting Project Director, SANDAG Dokken uses a consistent project management approach on all projects. It is our goal to be an extension of City staff, with our team providing the resources and tools necessary to deliver the project with minimal City oversight. x “No Surprises” Communication - Dokken maintains constant communication with our clients. Emerging issues are brought to our clients’ attention, along with proposed solutions. x Clear, Concise, and Complete Reporting - Dokken’s monthly progress reports include accomplished tasks, upcoming tasks, pending issues, and scheduled completion target dates. We coordinate and facilitate regular progress and team meetings and prepare all exhibits and handouts.
x Project Schedule Monitoring - Each of Dokken’s projects is guided by a project baseline schedule, clearly indicating milestones, major activities, and deliverables at a level of detail appropriate to the project. The schedule drives the project, not the reverse.
x Budget Control - The best way to control the budget is to follow the project schedule. This approach avoids costly over-runs and extended production times. The key to preserving budgets is to start on time, get it right, and submit the deliverable on deadline.

In order to ensure that all technical work is coordinated and project issues and action items are addressed, Mary Elizabeth is directly in charge of project management. Therefore, Mary Elizabeth, supported by experienced key staff, will:
x Work with the City’s Project Manager to develop and negotiate a realistic scope, schedule, and budget for each task;
x Prepare a Work Plan that provides definitive directions to the project team and includes specific instructions regarding means and methods assumptions included in the scope of work; x Implement communication protocols that facilitate communication between the City and the Dokken team, including face-to-face meetings, phone calls, email, written documents, and web meetings to meet the project needs;
x Regularly compare the contracted scope and budget vs. actual real-time expenses; x Conduct frequent project team meetings to facilitate informed discussions and decisions and team consensus on solutions and action items. Schedule, including milestones and deliverables, is discussed at every team meeting; x Consistently use project tracking tools, such as issue/decision logs, progress reports and schedule updates. These documents are frequently maintained and submitted to all team members and discussed at team meetings to ensure all issues are addressed and tasks successfully completed; and x Schedule QC activities with Steve Kooyman, PE, to ensure the project is meeting the project goals at key milestones of design.

Mary Elizabeth will also assess the short- and long-term needs of each project deliverable to ensure that our Dokken team is appropriately staffed and available for the duration of the contract. Mary Elizabeth is also available to meet with the City project delivery staff to review the performance of our Dokken team and/or to help the City develop ideas to mitigate any challenges before they become an issue.

SCHEDULE AND BUDGET CONTROL
Our project management approach is to be an extension of City staff and provide an experienced team that knows the City inside and out. Our team will provide the resources and tools necessary to deliver this project with minimal oversight from City staff.

To manage the three interdependent elements found in every project – scope, schedule, and budget – it is necessary to implement a sustainable project control methodology. Mary Elizabeth, our Project Manager, will develop and implement the

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL
Project Initiation Documents for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash

project controls plan. The plan outlines the procedures for conducting work, managing project resources and reporting project status and progress. The project management tools assure on time and within budget project deliverables.

These tools will enable Mary Elizabeth to provide a systematic approach to deliver any project. All project participants, including the City and Dokken Engineering team, will be aware of the project status to make informed management decisions. Our tools and system are designed to respond to these requirements.

Dokken Engineering prepares and maintains project schedules for every project. The schedules are monitored, and staffing is adjusted to meet milestones. Performance is monitored through quality control checks, review of actual versus planned progress, completion of action items prepared after meetings, monthly invoicing, and progress reporting. Dokken Engineering will use City standards and formats, making invoice review streamlined and familiar to the City.

Dokken Engineering has found that the best way to control budget is to ensure the project schedule is followed. This method avoids costly over-runs and extended production times. The key to preserving budgets is to start on time, get it right, and submit the deliverable on time. Utilizing the same design working group from the beginning of the project to the end ensures consistent thought and engineering practice, while eliminating wasteful hours spent “getting familiar” with a project.

The Microsoft Project Schedule will identify all project deliverables and submittal dates. The deliverables schedule is a critical project management tool because it specifies what is being delivered to the client and when it is to be submitted. The deliverables schedule will be updated monthly and submitted as part of the monthly invoice to report on the status of completed, in-progress and upcoming deliverables.

Our team understands that local agencies must stretch every dollar to maximize the project benefit and also leverage these local dollars with State and Federal Grants and Programs to further deliver their CIP. Project construction cost management is performed from preliminary engineering through final Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) to ensure the most economical project is constructed which meets the project goals. Each project is thoroughly studied to identify all tasks required to develop and produce the documents, reports, and final design required for advertisement.

Because we have delivered over 3,000 projects in 40 years and deliver multiple infrastructure projects to construction every year, we know what needs to be done and include that up front in the scope to avoid the need for contract amendments.

Our cost control starts with making sure task order assignments are given to the appropriate staff with the expertise that aligns with the needs of the project. Correctly maintaining the budget is achieved through application of several different cost tracking methods. This cost control process includes tracking progress (i.e., percent complete) and comparing to costs incurred in order to assess project’s budget status. Dokken will use City standards and formats, making invoice review streamlined and familiar to the City. Mary Elizabeth will monitor the project’s progress on a weekly basis and will use the following approaches to maintain a project’s schedule:
x Assign staff with the appropriate level of expertise that can develop and deliver submittals correctly the first time and avoid costly rework.
x Create a detailed project schedule that outlines all tasks, including QC efforts, and tasks to be performed by City staff, with completion dates necessary to achieve the overall schedule goal. x Frequently check-in with the team’s production staff to update on task progress and implement corrective measures to maintain schedule.
x Conduct project team meetings during which task progress is discussed related to schedule and tasks means and methods are discussed to ensure production staff remain on the path identified at the project onset.

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL
Project Initiation Documents for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash

x Develop thorough meeting minutes and hold team members accountable with specifically identified tasks and deadlines.

The combination of the budget and schedule showing task durations and sequencing will enable us to produce a time-phased budget. With a time-phased budget and a work-based method of measuring progress, a reliable comparison on planned versus actual can be made.

Lastly, an important component to schedule management is communication. Maintaining a monthly project team meeting, and focus meetings when an issue requires resolution, will ensure the project schedule is held. We will work closely with your project staff to keep you informed on the status of your project and any pending decisions. We will identify risks early in the process and develop solutions to mitigate these risks.

PROJECT COMMUNICATION
The solution to delivering a project on an accelerated schedule isn’t solely based on availability and depth of resources. Over the years, Dokken Engineering has perfected our project delivery approach. Most of which is how we resolve issues early to minimize schedule delays. One key component is communication. Both internal and external communication within the team, utility and resource agencies and the City. Mary Elizabeth and her team will use a suite of communication mechanisms to keep the City informed and maintain the project schedule.

Based on the City’s schedule, our team proposes to hold a monthly meeting to discuss project status and resolve any items that require additional City input. Additional meetings will be scheduled, as needed. This frequency of meetings will ensure our project schedule is met. Dokken has a long-standing history of delivering projects with multiple team members and stakeholders, and we have established communication protocols that all team members understand. We host weekly internal in-person team meetings to track progress and keep everyone current on project status and recent decisions that affect their awareness and productivity. There are times where our team needs to resolve an issue in advance of a project status meeting.

When this occurs, we facilitate a focus meeting with appropriate decision makers to resolve the issue and continue.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
The Dokken Team is committed to the City in delivering project documents whose quality exceeds industry standards. Quality is not just a priority; it is one of our core values. We take quality very seriously, as a quality plan set provides the most competitive bidding opportunities for projects and helps keep projects within their budgets, ultimately resulting in a highquality project being built, on time and with minimal or no change orders.

From the project inception, QA/QC procedures will be implemented in accordance with the project Quality Management Plan. Our procedures incorporate continuous product review cycles during plan development, as well as a series of formal review procedures completed for major project deliverables. The review of deliverables needed to satisfy the QA/QC procedure is built into our proposed schedule.

Mr. Steve Kooyman, PE, will be responsible for QC for project deliverables. He will ensure all deliverables are QC reviewed by a Senior Engineer prior to submittal. The documents will then be revised as needed to address the QC review. Prior to submittal, Steve will provide quality assurance by verifying all comments were properly addressed. He will develop the Quality Management Plan which will describe the processes and the procedures, including checklists to be followed on all task orders. The graphic on the next page provides a summary of our QC process.

We take quality very seriously, as a quality plan set provides the most competitive bidding opportunities for projects and helps keep projects within their overall budgets, ultimately resulting in high-quality projects being built, on time with minimal or no change orders.

Additionally, Dokken Engineering has implemented our internal QA/QC Training Program. Dokken created the program to provide hands-on training for less experienced staff to ensure our team’s deliverables undergo a QC review by all levels working on the project, not just the Project Manager. This program is led by our former President and CEO, Rick Liptak, who leads a small team comprised of two designers, an environmental planner, and right of way agent through a rigorous 40+ hour review that includes the plans, special provisions, and the estimate. Environmental planners and right of way agents have been included in our program to assure breadth of coverage within our company. By completing the QC Training Program, young engineers develop an understanding of each component of a submittal package and learn the process to properly complete a QC review.

At Dokken, we take pride in consistently having projects complete construcƟon with less than 5% added cost during construcƟon through construcƟon change orders. While the industry standard hovers around 10%, Dokken far exceeds industry comparisons.

PRIDE IN OUR WORK ON LOCAL AND STATE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT

PROJECTS
Being a California based engineering firm that focuses solely on public works improvement projects related to transportation, public works, and utility infrastructure projects specifically allows us to maintain our focus on improving the state we call home.

OUR SERVICES/CAPABILITIES
With numerous technical specialties under one roof, project coordination and communication are maximized. Some of our key services include the following:

Project Management | Project
Management is a key component of
successful delivery. In order to meet
schedules and budgets, Dokken prepares a
project/task order schedule that identifies milestones, client review timelines and submittal dates, and reflects all major deliverables outlined in the scope. In addition, Dokken prepares detailed monthly progress reports,
organized by tasks defined in the scope of work, and
documenting the efforts performed. Major deliverables or tasks completed are identified in the progress reports. We facilitate monthly team meetings and regular internal
team/subconsultant meetings, to quickly identify and
address project issues, while providing meeting minutes and action items to ensure consistent and accurate
communication. This systematic approach to Project
Management keeps our clients informed at every stage of project delivery.

Roadway Design | Roadway design is an
integral component of Dokken’s services. From
freeways to residential streets, our engineers
design both simple and complex roadway widenings,
realignments, street “diets”, and new extensions, as well as the required improvements to the surrounding areas,
such as bikeway and pedestrian facilities, rail trails, landscaping, hardscapes, sidewalks, utility relocations, bus stop/pullouts and intersection signalization.

Structures Design | Dokken has successfully
completed hundreds of structure designs, from
rural two-lane HBP bridges to complex multilevel freeway-to-freeway interchanges. Additional structure designs include pedestrian overcrossings,
bicycle bridges, viaducts, and retaining/sound walls.

Dokken has also provided seismic stability evaluations, retrofit plans, specifications, and estimates. Our
structures team has innovative and cost-effective design solutions, which save our clients millions of dollars. Paying careful attention to the details of a project’s setting, along with client and community feedback, our designs meet
the unique conditions of each project.

Environmental Services | Dokken has an
experienced in-house Environmental Services
Group that works on our roadway, bridge, and
infrastructure projects throughout California. We have
established professional working relationships with
federal and state regulatory agencies based on technical excellence and a thorough understanding of regulatory
processes, including, Environmental Document
Preparation (NEPA / CEQA Analysis and Compliance),
Technical Studies & Reports, and Environmental
Regulatory Permitting & Compliance using a hands-on
approach that has accelerated regulatory schedules.

Water Resources & Water Quality | Dokken has
staff dedicated to hydrology, hydraulics, and
drainage design. These staff members are
experts in assessing drainage issues, conducting analyses, and coordinating with other disciplines to develop
balanced, cost-effective solutions. Our group concurrently reviews the project improvements to determine the storm water quality management requirements. Each project
includes Site Design and Source Control BMPs and may
include Treatment Control BMPs. We engage our clients
water resource representatives early to develop proposed drainage and water quality concepts that accommodate
roadway improvements and correct any existing drainage
deficiencies.

Utilities | Most of our client’s public works projects
involve utility relocations and/or new utility
infrastructure. We also routinely support new
utility infrastructure focused projects covering
recycled and domestic water mains, gravity and force
main sewer, gas pipeline, medium and high voltage
electric, and telecommunication designs. The Dokken
team is well known for our expertise in private utility relocation coordination, having established long-standing relationships with the prominent utility owners in
Southern California. Our team identifies potential utility conflicts in collaboration with the utility owner
representatives and develops a comprehensive plan to
ensure that all potential conflicts are verified. We
understand the importance of accurate utility mapping,
positive verification of conflicts through potholing, and developing conflict resolutions early in the design process.

Our utility experts strive to identify design strategies that allow protecting existing utilities in place to the full extent possible, reducing risk of project delays.

Right of Way Services | The Dokken team has
considerable experience preparing right of
way engineering documents under State and
Federal law as outlined in the Caltrans Right of Way
Manual. Our services consist of researching public
records, obtaining title reports, preparing appraisal maps, owner exhibits, and plats and legal descriptions for the conveyance of land title rights, such as easements, fee title grant deeds, and temporary construction easements between parties.

GREEN TREE BOULEVARD

EXTENSION
Victorville, CA
Dokken Engineering prepared CEQA and NEPA environmental documentation and final design services for the Green Tree Boulevard Extension Project for the City of Victorville and County of San Bernardino.

The Green Tree Boulevard Extension is a roadway gap closure project that connects Yucca Loma Road in the Town of Apple Valley at the east end of the project with Hesperia Road and Green Tree Boulevard in the City of Victorville at the west end of the project. This segment was the last link of a new east-west transportation corridor providing a new route across the Mojave River.

Construction was completed in May 2023. Dokken Engineering also completed the endangered species consultation, secured regulatory permits, and established the appropriate environmental mitigation for the project.

The Green Tree Boulevard Extension includes four travel lanes from Park Road to a realigned Ridgecrest Road. The improvements then narrow to two lanes as they extend westward over the BNSF railroad and connect to Hesperia Road at the existing Green Tree
Boulevard. Bicycle
lanes were provided
on both sides of the
roadway and a
pedestrian pathway
was provided on at
least one side of the
roadway throughout
the facility. Grading
was completed for the
ultimate roadway
facility.

YUCCA LOMA ROAD

BRIDGE & YATES ROAD

EXTENSION
Apple Valley, CA
Dokken provided preliminary engineering, CEQA/NEPA environmental documentation and final design services for the new 1,600-foot-long Yucca Loma Road Bridge and adjacent Yucca Loma Road and Yates Road widening for the Town of Apple Valley. The combined CEQA/NEPA environmental document (IS/MND, EA) allowed the local agencies to pursue federal funding for this important east/west transportation corridor between adjacent Victor Valley communities. Extensive permit work was required with the Army Corps, RWQCB, and US Fish & Wildlife. A 17-acre on-site mitigation restoration area was included in the project since acceptable mitigation banks were not available. Right of way engineering and acquisition services were also provided.

In addition to the new bridge and adjacent two miles of roadway widening, the project included a Class I trail, modifications to the existing signals and streetlights at the intersection of Apple Valley and Yucca Loma Road to encompass the ultimate intersection configuration, and a new signalized intersection next to the Rio Vista Elementary School. Drainage improvements included a new underground storm drainage system consisting of a longitudinal 6- foot by 10-foot box culvert to convey stormwater to the Mojave River.

This project required a joint CEQA/NEPA document which Dokken coordinated through the Caltrans local Assistance process. Numerous subcategories on NEPA were key factors in the environmental document including Section 4(f)/6(f), Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, and Section 106 of the NHPA.

Dokken prepared an HPSR, ASR, ESA Action.

Mitigation was required for project impacts to waters, riparian habitat, and endangered species. With no banks available, Dokken’s environmental team coordinated extensively with various resource agencies to develop a 17-acre Mojave River revegetation area that involved grading and drainage changes, planting of thousands of native trees and shrubs, and irrigation plans.

ROCK SPRINGS ROAD HBP

BRIDGE REPLACEMENT

OVER MOJAVE RIVER
San Bernardino County, CA
Dokken provided preliminary
engineering, prepared the CEQA
and NEPA environmental
documentation, and all
associated technical studies, and
prepared PS&E for the Rock
Springs Road Bridge over the
Mojave River Project for the
County of San Bernardino.

Construction began in late 2025.

Rock Springs Road is a major circulation link in the high desert between the City of Hesperia, the Town of Apple Valley, and unincorporated San Bernardino County. It is one of only a few crossings of the Mojave River. Many residents to the east of the Mojave River utilize Rock Springs Road for commuting to work in Victorville Valley or to reach I-10. Currently the segment of Rock Springs Road at the Mojave River dips down as a low-water crossing and experiences overtopping during large storm events, resulting in roadway closures and an up to 12-mile detour for travel and delays in emergency response.

The project will replace the existing Rock Springs Road low-water crossing across the Mojave River with a new bridge and widen Rock Springs Road from a two lane facility to a four lane facility. The project limits are 0.1 miles west of Glendale Avenue to 0.3 miles east of Deep Creek Road. The proposed bridge would be approximately 950 feet long by 87 feet wide to include four lanes, and would range from 12 to 20 feet in height when measured from the river bottom.

The bridge will include shoulders sufficient for a Class II bicycle facility and sidewalks on each side.

CEQA and NEPA environmental documents allowed the local agencies to pursue federal funding for a road and bridge widening project within San Bernardino County. Cultural resource studies including identification, recordation, and evaluation of architectural and archaeological resources were conducted as part of Section 106 compliance efforts for this project. Dokken Engineering prepared a Historic Property Survey Report, Archaeological Survey Report, and Historical Resources Evaluation Report. Dokken Engineering’s biologists conducted project specific pre-construction surveys for the burrowing owl, desert tortoise, arroyo toad, prairie falcon, Mohave Ground squirrel, and nesting migratory birds in compliance with the most current regulatory survey protocols. Environmental compliance for the project consisted of an Initial Study leading to a Mitigated Negative Declaration under CEQA and a Categorical Exclusion under NEPA.

The project includes rock slope protection along the east bank of the Mojave River, roughly 300 feet north to 1,500 feet south of the bridge, except within the BNSF railroad right of way. Rock slope protection would also be provided around the west bridge abutment. Improvements to an existing storm water feature north of Rock Springs Road would be included and curb and gutter would be incorporated.

The project will elevate the roadway east of the river and remove existing driveway access from Rock Springs Road for three residences and replace them with driveway access from Santa Rosa Road. The project would add a cul-de-sac at its west end and intersection improvements at Deep Creek. Santa Rosa Road would be pave and striped for two lanes. Retaining walls are needed along both the north and south sides of the elevated Rock Springs Road. The southern retaining wall would be constructed from the east abutment and would extend to the east along Rock Springs Road roughly 800 feet and range from approximately 16 feet in height at the bridge and 4 feet in height at its east end.

I-215/SCOTT ROAD

INTERCHANGE
Riverside County, CA
Dokken Engineering provided engineering services for the I-215/Scott Road Interchange Reconstruction in Riverside County. The purpose of this project was to relieve existing traffic congestion and to prevent future degradation of the Scott Road Interchange due to anticipated population growth from recent proposed land development in surrounding communities and to improve operating conditions, reduce accidents, increase capacity, and reduce response time for emergency service vehicles.

I-215 is a four-lane divided freeway with two 12-foot lanes in each direction and an unpaved 36-foot wide median. The Scott Road Interchange is a fourquadrant tight diamond interchange. The existing Scott Road overcrossing is a two-span concrete structure that accommodates one travel lane in each direction.

Dokken Engineering developed and studied the preferred alternative involving:
a 10-lane bridge structure, roadway alignments, retaining walls, roadway geometrics, drainage, pavement delineation, contour grading, stage construction, cost estimates, coordination right of way acquisition services, and project approval through Caltrans District 8.

Due to funding constraints, the 100% design was ultimately separated into two phases. Dokken prepared an expedited Phase 1 design, which consisted of the ramp improvements north of the bridge and partial widening of the overcrossing.

Retaining walls are proposed for the diamond ramps in the northbound off, northbound on and southbound off ramps and are located on the outside of CLIENT:

the ramps adjacent to the right of way. Storm drain enhancements include a box culvert extension located under Scott Road on the east side over Paloma Wash. Additionally, the existing culvert under Scott Road on the west side of the interchange will be extended approximately 800’ and the extension will be overlain by new ramps. A water infiltration basin, also part of the storm drain enhancements, will be placed within the proposed loop ramp in the northeast quadrant of the interchange.

Dokken supported this project all the way from PA&ED through construction, which concluded Summer 2020.

VILLAGE SPECIFIC PLAN
Apple Valley, CA
DEA assisted in the preparation of a long-range circulation plan for Apple Valley’s Village District, the first business district in Apple Valley, which since the 1950’s has provided commercial services within the community well before the Town was incorporated. The Village District is bisected by Highway 18 with two-way frontage roads on either side of the highway. This configuration creates a very wide and high-speed barrier for pedestrians and bicyclists with crossings spaced nearly one-half mile apart. DEA’s work included the preparation of the Circulation Plan, Parking Analysis, and Conceptual Streetscapes for the Village area.

The circulation plan integrated two of the solutions for Highway 18 that DEA created as part Apple Valley Village Highway 18 Corridor / Complete Street Enhancement Plan. The two solutions included one maintaining / modifying the signalized intersections, and the second solution of converting the intersections with roundabouts that incorporate access to the frontage roads. In both solutions, Highway 18 was narrowed, made pedestrian and bicycle-friendly, and the frontage roads were reconfigured to a one-way couplet providing numerous angled on-street parking spaces. Maintaining and even increasing the existing on-street parking is vital for the revitalization of the Village District because Highway 18 is lined with historic narrow and deep parcels that cannot accommodate any on-site parking supply. To allow these parcels to redevelop and still conform with zoning required new policies and development standards.

FRIARS ROAD/SR-163

INTERCHANGE
San Diego, CA
Dokken prepared the Project Report and coordinated preparation of the Environmental Document for the interchange project. Due to funding constraints, design and construction was divided into three phases. Dokken Engineering completed Final Design PS&E for Phase 1. Phase 1 of the project included local road improvements such as widening Friars Road and the overcrossing, adding bike lanes and 10-foot-wide sidewalks, improving Frazee Road and Ulric Street, coordinating signal timing, constructing retaining walls, improving ramp connections, and providing additional pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Dokken also provided Design Support During Construction.

Dokken worked closely with City of San Diego Real Estate Assets Department (READ) during right of way negotiations to provide right of way engineering support. Dokken attended meetings with local businesses to discuss project improvements and right of way impacts. Due to the annual holiday construction moratorium, construction staging plans were prepared to minimize impacts to local businesses during the holiday season.

Extensive utility coordination was required during final design: large SDG&E transmission towers are located near the ramp improvements, a fiber optic line and several telecom lines are located within the project limits, and a highpressure gas line is located near the bridge abutments.

The Friars Road/SR-163 Interchange project improves traffic congestion and enhances pedestrian and bicycle traffic mobility within the Mission Valley community. This project improved a critical regional transportation deficiency that had existed for decades. The project reduces congestion and provides traffic relief by widening Friars Road, increasing storage capacity at the ramps, improving decision sight distance, and eliminating unrestricted weave conflict locations. This project improves mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists by eliminating “free-right” movements providing safer ramp crossings and providing a link to nearby bicycle facilities.

The project also incorporated complete street design; 10-foot wide sidewalks and Class II bike lanes were provided on each side of Friars Road. At the ramp termini, shaded “pedestrian nodes” with seat walls were constructed and over 30 curb ramps were upgraded to meet ADA design standards.

BEAR VALLEY BRIDGE

OVER THE MOJAVE RIVER
Apple Valley, CA
Dokken provided engineering and environmental services for the Bear Valley Road Bridge Rehabilitation over the Mojave River and helped prepare the HBP funding application. The purpose of this project is to widen, rehabilitate and seismically retrofit the Bear Valley Road Bridge over the Mojave River and improve approach roadways.

The bridge is located in the Town of Apple Valley, but the west approach roadway is located in the cities of Hesperia and Victorville. At the bridge, Bear Valley Road carries six lanes of traffic with an annual average daily traffic of approximately 56,000 vehicles, about five percent of which are trucks. The Bear Valley Road Bridge over the Mojave River is one of only four crossings of the Mojave River in the Apple Valley, Victorville and Hesperia areas. The existing bridge is an 11-span, reinforced concrete T-beam structure supported on reinforced concrete pier walls and cantilever abutments. Both the abutments and piers are founded on driven, precast pre-stressed concrete piles. The project would remove the original 1963 bridge and rehabilitate the remaining 1988 portion of the bridge.

The remaining 1988 structure would be widened to the north and south to facilitate six travel lanes, a center median, shoulders with Class II bike lanes, a barrier protecting the multi-use path on the north side of the bridge, and a barrier protecting sidewalk on the south side of the bridge. The bridge will be widened approximately 31 feet to the north and 15 feet to the south to allow room for the added shoulders, median, sidewalk and Class I path.

Dokken’s environmental team conducted field surveys, and prepared technical studies, drafted and secured approval of the CEQA Initial Study with Mitigated Negative Declaration, and obtained regulatory permits (401/404/1602) for the bridge rehabilitation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

R EQUEST FOR P ROPOSAL
Project Initiation Documents for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash

Assumptions and Additional Information
Dokken has carefully reviewed the Request for Proposals and has prepared its proposal based on the information provided by the City of Victorville. Our understanding of the project includes utilization of the City's available topographic mapping, prior studies, traffic analyses, and project documentation identified within the RFP, including the previous Eucalyptus Street/I15 Interchange PSR-PDS and supporting technical materials. We assume any significant new information could impact proposed solutions. The proposal also assumes coordination with the City, utility providers, and applicable regulatory agencies as necessary to complete the PSR-PDS and associated technical evaluations.

Dokken has not excluded any scope of services identified in the RFP and intends to provide all services, analyses, coordination, technical memoranda, and deliverables necessary to prepare the requested PSR-PDS.

Dokken does not have any deviations, exceptions, or modifications to the RFP requirements and intends to comply with the City's contract terms and conditions as presented.

Dokken has identified potential three (3) additional or optional services beyond those required to successfully complete the scope of work identified in the RFP.
1) Additional Survey of SCE Transmission Facilities: We recommend coordinating with the City Survey team to obtain supplemental field survey of the existing SCE overhead electrical transmission lines that cross the Eucalyptus Street corridor. We also recommend early coordination with SCE representatives to obtain data on the overhead lines, such as the lowest/critical sag point to aid design development. Meeting minimal SCE vertical clearance requirements between the proposed roadway and the overhead lines will be critical when developing horizontal alignments, vertical profiles, and bridge concepts. The sag from the overhead lines is significant due to the long span length between poles and over the wash, especially during summer months and/or heat wave. Additional survey and coordination would reduce uncertainty and improve the development of conceptual engineering alternatives and evaluations.
2) Obtain Title Reports/Title Research: As noted in the Work Plan, under Task 15 Optional Tasks, we recommend obtaining the title reports for the parcels that have been identified for potential impact. This research will provide the City and Consultant team with additional information to identify unusual circumstances regarding title or ownership, and uncover any flaws, noting any exceptions pertaining to property such as mortgage liens, restrictions, easements, and rights of way. This additional information would reduce uncertainty as the City moves forward into the next phase of project development.
3) Preliminary CEQA/NEPA Considerations: As noted in the Work Plan, Under Task 15 Optional Tasks, if requested, the Consultant will direct its VMT modeling vendor (GTS) to conduct a VMT Analysis for a Capacity-Increasing Transportation Project per the guidelines published in California’s Office of Planning and Research Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA.

Through proactive coordination, thorough technical evaluation, and early identification of project constraints and risks, our team will provide the City with a sound technical foundation to support informed decision-making and advancement into subsequent phases of project development.

Ximena Zambrano, Assistant Engineer II
City of Victorville
14343 Civic Drive
Victorville, CA 92392
RE: Proposal for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash (MS26-125) Dear Ximena Zambrano and Members of the Selection Committee:

The City of Victorville (City) stands at a meaningful inflection point in its path towards increased connectivity, wherein rapid residential growth west of the Oro Grande Wash has placed significant and sustained pressure on Bear Valley Road. Additionally, the Golden Triangle area needs a new east-west connection to support residents today and the development pipeline ahead. The Project Study Report–Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) the City is now procuring must produce a technically defensible, fundable, and constructable foundation for a corridor that Victorville residents will depend on for decades. Kimley-Horn brings the following unique benefits to the City:

Proven PSR-PDS Delivery and a Responsive Local Presence. Kimley-Horn has decades of experience preparing PSR-PDS documents, feasibility studies, and Project Initiation Documents (PIDs) for locally sponsored transportation projects requiring Caltrans coordination and state and federal funding positioning throughout Southern California. Our team’s successful track record of project experience expands directly into the High Desert—the active working relationships we have fostered in recent years include local public agencies like the City of Lancaster, the Town of Apple Valley, San Bernardino County, and Caltrans District 8. For example, our recent work on the City of Lancaster’s Avenue J/SR 14 Interchange PSR-PDS, PA&ED, and PS&E project and Route 1/PCH Safety and Mobility Improvements have both involved navigating Caltrans coordination and alternatives development. With an office based in Santa Clarita, our local presence places senior staff within close proximity to Victorville, supporting rapid site visits, agency meetings, and responsive coordination throughout the six-month delivery window.

In-House Technical Depth Across All Core Disciplines. The Oro Grande Wash crossing demands simultaneous command of civil engineering, traffic operations, structural and bridge engineering, hydrology and hydraulics, drainage, utilities coordination, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental review. With subconsultant coordination limited to survey, geotechnical investigation, traffic counts, and right-of-way services, this predominantly in-house structure eliminates hand-off delays, tightens interdisciplinary coordination, and delivers a technically consistent study the first time.

First-Hand Site Knowledge and a Tailored Technical Approach. Our team has visited the Eucalyptus Street corridor and the Oro Grande Wash to observe and document existing conditions directly. We have reviewed the 2005 PSR-PDS and Traffic Analysis Report to understand the prior work, and we have developed a project approach that builds on that foundation rather than duplicating it. Our approach is calibrated to the City’s six-month completion target, the uncertainty around the Hesperia I-15 interchange timing, and the technical risks specific to this wash crossing.

We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and are committed to delivering a PSR-PDS that advances the City’s goals. If you have questions regarding this proposal, please contact Project Manager Sri Chakravarthy, PE, TE at 213.261.4037 or via email at sri. [email protected].

team’s relevant experience and
qualifications—including our PSRPDS work for the Avenue J/SR 14 Interchange Project in the City of
Lancaster—is provided in Section 9.

More information on the

PROPOSAL FOR THE

EUCALYPTUS STREET EXTENSION OVER THE ORO GRANDE WASH

4. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND TECHNICAL APPROACH
Project Understanding
Project Context and Need
The City of Victorville is evaluating the Eucalyptus Street Extension across Oro Grande Wash to close a major east-west gap in the local and regional street network. Growth west of I-15 and the wash has increased travel demand, while access to the Golden Triangle area remains limited. As a result, Bear Valley Road carries a disproportionate share of east-west traffic, creating congestion, travel reliability issues, and limited redundancy for emergency and regional access.

The proposed extension would provide another east-west connection into the Golden Triangle area, improve circulation, support future development, and create a stronger connection to the planned Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange corridor. The key question for this PSR-PDS is not simply whether the connection is desirable, but which alternatives are feasible, fundable, buildable, and compatible with the City’s long-term transportation network.

Although the project is locally led and is not on the State Highway System, the PSR-PDS format provides a disciplined framework for defining purpose and need, evaluating alternatives, identifying constraints and risks, preparing planning-level costs, and positioning the project for environmental clearance, funding, programming, and future design.

Key Technical Considerations
Regional Connectivity and Phasing
This extension is part of a larger east-west corridor strategy. The study must evaluate how the corridor functions before the Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange is constructed and how it fits into the ultimate regional network, meaning that alternatives should consider both near-term access benefits and long-term system performance.

Oro Grande Wash Crossing
The Oro Grande Wash crossing is the primary physical constraint and will drive feasibility, cost, environmental permitting, and constructability. The study must balance hydraulic performance, bridge or culvert feasibility, environmental footprint, construction access, long-term maintenance, and resilience.

Key crossing issues include:
 Hydraulic capacity, floodplain limits, and scour potential  Bridge type, span length, and foundation feasibility
 Constructability within an active wash corridor
 Long-term maintenance and resilience
Environmental and Permitting
Because the project crosses a natural watercourse, environmental and permitting issues need to shape the alternatives early. The analysis should identify jurisdictional waters, biological and cultural resource considerations, flood risk, noise considerations, likely CEQA/NEPA requirements, and anticipated federal, state, and local permits. Early screening will help flag high-risk constraints before the project advances into environmental clearance and design.

Right-of-Way and Utilities
The corridor runs through areas that are still developing. ROW and utility conditions may continue to change. The study should identify property needs, corridor constraints, utility conflicts, and relocation issues early so the City can preserve the corridor and reduce future risk.

Traffic Operations
The project justification should document operational and regional circulation benefits, including:
 Less congestion on Bear Valley Road
 Better access and circulation to the Golden Triangle area  More network redundancy and improved travel reliability Future traffic forecasts and consistency with regional planning assumptions will be important for funding and prioritization.

PROPOSAL FOR THE

EUCALYPTUS STREET EXTENSION OVER THE ORO GRANDE WASH
Project Approach
Our approach is to build the PSR-PDS around a simple sequence: understand the corridor, confirm the transportation need, identify constraints, develop feasible alternatives, screen those alternatives, and document a practical path to funding and delivery. The exhibit on the following page identifies initial opportunities and constraints for the proposed corridor.

The concept includes constructing a bridge over the Oro Grande Wash while integrating the alignment with existing utility infrastructure, particularly the transmission towers located near the proposed crossing, to optimize bridge placement and minimize conflicts.

Given varying right-of-way constraints along the corridor, the exhibit on the following page identifies a potential ultimate right-of-way width ranging from 60 to 90 feet. The study would assess whether localized roadway widening is necessary to maintain continuous ADA-compliant pedestrian facilities, preserve appropriate travel lane widths, and accommodate future bicycle facilities. Three conceptual roadway crosssection alternatives are presented for consideration. The first alternative, within a 60-foot right-of-way, would provide two travel lanes in each direction with sidewalks. The second alternative, within a 70-foot right-of-way, would add a median two-way left-turn lane while maintaining sidewalks. The third alternative, within a 90-foot right-of-way, would include two travel lanes in each direction, a median turn lane, dedicated bicycle lanes, and sidewalks.

The focus is not to over-design the project at this stage but to provide enough technical definition for the City to make informed decisions and move confidently into the next phase.

Callout boxes highlighting unique ideas/innovations/technical considerations and key outcomes have beein included alongside the key approach elements below.

Data Collection and Existing Conditions
We will start with targeted data collection and field verification. The goal is to use available City, agency, and regional data where possible and focus new effort on information needed to support alternatives, cost, risk, and implementation decisions. Our team will:

Survey and Base Mapping
 Use available City mapping, aerial data, and prior records as the base  Verify key field conditions, including wash geometry, roadway tie-ins, utilities, and access constraints  Develop mapping and profiles suitable for alternatives development Traffic Data
 Compile available freeway and ramp counts, intersection turning movement counts, and regional travel demand model data  Collect supplemental traffic data where needed
 Confirm peak-hour patterns affecting Bear Valley Road and nearby routes  Review prior relevant studies to identify assumptions, study area, interchange concepts that should be carried forward, updated, or replaced
Existing Travel Pattern
 Assess regional travel patterns and trends on I-15 and the study area using big data platforms such as Replica and Streetlight as well as regional travel demand model
 Assess existing demand on key locations such as Bear Valley Road/I-15 and US-395/Main Street interchanges using selectlink analysis to evaluate the broader need for the planned Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange
 Use selectlink origin-destination data from Replica and/or the regional travel demand model to show how trips currently enter, leave, and cross the Golden Triangle area

Existing Infrastructure and Records
 Review as-builts, drainage plans, utility records, and prior studies  Compile floodplain, FEMA, and hydrologic data for Oro Grande Wash  Confirm prior planning assumptions, including the Eucalyptus/I-15 interchange study This gives the full team a common starting point and reduces the risk of inconsistent assumptions later in the study.

Traffic Operations and Corridor Performance
The traffic analysis will support the purpose and need, alternatives screening, implementation strategy, and future funding discussions. It will show how the Eucalyptus Street Extension changes access to the Golden Triangle area, relieves constrained routes, improves redundancy, and performs under interim and ultimate network conditions. Our team will:

Scenario Framework
 Evaluate existing conditions, future No-Build conditions, future Build conditions with the Oro Grande Wash crossing, an interim condition before completion of the Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange, and an ultimate condition with both the crossing and interchange in place  Use the SBTAM 2050 Plan scenario as a long-range/ultimate network reference, reflecting the planned Eucalyptus Street/I-15 and Mojave Street/I-15 interchange assumptions
 Conduct select-link runs for the SBTAM 2050 Plan scenario to assess future interchange traffic distribution through the Golden Triangle, Bear Valley Road, US-395/Main Street, Amargosa Road, and the proposed Eucalyptus Street corridor, and to identify how the Eucalyptus Street Extension improves east-west connectivity, reduces out-of-direction travel, and relieves constrained access routes  Coordinate assumptions with the roadway, bridge, hydraulic, environmental, right-of-way, utility, cost, and phasing tasks so that the traffic scenarios match feasible alternatives rather than stand-alone concepts Alternative Evaluation
 Analyze key freeway and roadway segments using
appropriate regional travel demand model forecasts
and Highway Capacity Manual methods for traffic
operations analysis
 Evaluate delay, level of service, travel time, network redundancy, emergency access, and regional
connectivity benefits for each scenario
 Translate the traffic findings into planninglevel roadway inputs, including lane assumptions, turn-lane needs, intersection
control concepts, bridge typical-section
implications, and compatibility with the future
planned improvements
The focus will be comparative performance, not design-level modeling. The goal is to support smart decisions at the PID stage.

Hydrology and Hydraulics
The hydrology and hydraulics work will define the feasible crossing envelope for Oro Grande Wash and provide inputs for structures, environmental screening, cost estimating, and constructability. This work will focus on planning-level feasibility, not final design.

We will review tributary watershed, rainfall, soils, land use, FEMA, drainage, and floodplain data at the Eucalyptus Street crossing. If hydrologic models or flow rates from nearby facilities such as the Amethyst Basin Recharge Facility are available and accepted by the City, we will use that information to avoid duplicative effort. Otherwise, we will conduct a planning-level hydrologic analysis for up to two storm events, anticipated as the 10-year SBTAM 2050 Plan Scenario: Eucalyptus Street Selectlink PM Volumes Key Outcomes

 Evaluating foundation suitability, settlement, bearing capacity, and scour-related risks Key Considerations
 Deep foundation needs, if required
 Constructability in alluvial wash soils
 Erosion and slope stability risks
Environmental and Permitting
The environmental effort will focus on early constraint screening and a practical permitting strategy. The goal is to identify issues early enough to shape the alternatives and define the likely environmental clearance path.

Environmental Screening
The project crosses Oro Grande Wash, a natural drainage course that conveys surface flows following intense storms and may function as a wildlife corridor. The screening will focus on potential impacts related to jurisdictional waters, biological resources, cultural and paleontological resources, hydrology and flooding, noise, air quality, and permitting. An Aquatic Resource Delineation Report will likely be required but is not included in our scope. Our team will:

Scope of Services
Kimley-Horn will prepare a PSR-PDS for the Eucalyptus Street Extension over the Oro Grande Wash. The scope is organized to define the project need, evaluate feasible alternatives, identify key constraints, and prepare planning-level costs, funding considerations, and implementation strategies that support future environmental clearance, programming, and design.

Task 1. Project Management and Coordination
Kimley-Horn will initiate the project with a focused kickoff meeting to confirm the City’s goals, available data, review protocols, schedule milestones, decision points, and assumptions for the PSR-PDS. We will support the City in establishing the Project Development Team (PDT) consisting of various stakeholders including other City departments and permitting agencies. We will manage the project team, subconsultants, schedule, budget, communications, and quality control throughout the assignment.

Our project management approach will emphasize early identification of issues that could affect feasibility, cost, schedule, funding, or future delivery, and will keep technical assumptions consistent across traffic, roadway, bridge, hydraulic, geotechnical, environmental, right-of-way, utility, cost, and phasing workstreams.

Kimley-Horn will coordinate up to six (6) total meetings, including the kickoff meeting, progress meetings, and focused technical coordination meetings with the City and key disciplines. We have assumed a six (6) month project schedule.

Task 1 Deliverables

Task 4.1 Alternatives Development
Kimley-Horn will develop a practical range of alternatives that are buildable, fundable, and appropriate for a PSR-PDS. The alternatives will include a No-Build baseline and up to three (3) Build alternatives for the Eucalyptus Street corridor and Oro Grande Wash crossing. We will define alignment options, crossing locations, roadway geometry, bridge or culvert concepts, tie-in locations, and phasing approaches. We anticipate addressing up to one (1) round of consolidated comments.

The alternatives will be shaped by traffic benefits, hydraulic feasibility, bridge and foundation assumptions, environmental and permitting risks, right-of-way and utility constraints, constructability, cost, and long-term corridor compatibility. A key focus will be identifying a minimum viable improvement that addresses near-term needs while preserving scalable options for the ultimate regional network.

 Alternatives screening matrix
 Recommended alternatives [up to two (2)] for advancement in the PSR-PDS Task 4.2 Traffic Operations and Regional Circulation Analysis Kimley-Horn will prepare a Traffic Operations and Regional Circulation Analysis that defines baseline transportation conditions, evaluates future operating conditions, and supports the project purpose and need, alternatives screening, and agency coordination. The analysis will identify potential operational issues requiring further study in later project phases.

This task will include evaluation of the following scenarios:

Existing Conditions: Analyze existing freeway, ramps, and roadway segment operations in the study area using available traffic counts, regional model data, and supplemental data of up to 10 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) count locations as needed.

Future No Project Conditions: Analyze future (2050) traffic operations in the study area without the proposed Oro Grande Wash crossing and Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange, and to identify baseline deficiencies and circulation constraints.

Future With Project Conditions: Evaluate future traffic operations in the study area with the proposed project improvements, including the Eucalyptus Street Extension/Oro Grande Wash crossing and Eucalyptus Street/I-15 interchange.

Task 4.2 Deliverables

4.4.1 Cultural
The cultural and paleontological screening will determine whether the project area contains, or could contain, resources that may affect the project. Kimley-Horn will conduct appropriate records searches and summarize the results, constraints, and recommendations in the environmental documentation.

4.4.2 Biology
We will review available biological resource databases, including CNDDB and USFWS sources, to identify sensitive species or habitat considerations that may influence alternatives, permitting, or future studies. If focused biological studies are needed, they can be scoped as additional services.

4.4.3 Noise
The noise analysis will qualitatively assess both construction and operational noise levels. The analysis will examine whether the Project noise would generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise. The task does not include a full technical analysis, but would be used as a sensitivity screening to identify potential issues.

4.4.4 Flood Risk
Based on research provided in Task 2.4 Hydrology and Hydraulics, our team will assess the potential flood risk and identify flow characteristics, design storms, and floodplain extents.

4.4.5 Identification of Permits and Permitting Requirements Kimley-Horn will identify likely federal, state, and local permitting requirements for the Project. This may include permits from the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Caltrans, and the Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Board) among others.

We will review available parcel, ownership, easement, right-of-way, and utility information to identify corridor limits, property impacts, potential acquisition needs, temporary construction easements, corridor preservation opportunities, major utility conflicts, and planning-level relocation assumptions. Because the surrounding area is still developing, the assessment will also consider that right-of-way and utility conditions may continue to change. The findings will support alternatives screening, cost estimating, phasing, and next-phase coordination. We anticipate addressing up to one (1) round of consolidated comments.

Cost estimates will account for roadway improvements, bridge or crossing elements, drainage, earthwork, utilities, right-of-way, environmental mitigation allowances, traffic control, contingencies, and soft costs appropriate for a PSR-PDS.

We will also prepare a risk register documenting key risks across hydraulics, environmental permitting, geotechnical conditions, right-of-way, utilities, construction access, schedule, and funding. The implementation strategy will identify feasible interim or staged improvements, critical path decisions, corridor preservation needs, and the next-phase actions needed to move the project into environmental clearance and design.

Our team’s project management plan methodology has been described in Task 1 of the Scope of Services (page 9). Some of the specific tools we utilize as part of that process have been included below.

Project Management Tools
Kimley-Horn’s project management approach is centered on proactive coordination, risk management, and clear communication to keep the PSR-PDS on schedule and aligned with the City’s objectives. Sri will serve as the City’s primary point of contact, leading a multidisciplinary Project Development Team (PDT) and coordinating all technical disciplines to ensure the study develops as a cohesive, decision-ready document. Throughout the effort, we will maintain a structured work plan, track assumptions and key decisions, and proactively identify risks and constraints that could affect project delivery, costs, or future implementation. This approach will support efficient alternative development, informed decision-making, and preparation of a PSR-PDS that positions the project for future environmental clearance, funding, programming, and design.

INFORMATION
SYSTEM
(MIS)
Schedule, Cost, and Resource Allocation Monitoring
Kimley-Horn has a Management Information System (MIS) that provides our project managers with a set of project control tools to manage schedule, costs, and earned value and provide accurate billing in a manner that meets City requirements. Critical elements in maintaining a schedule include a clear definition of the team members’ responsibilities and frequent communication relative to achieving goals. This begins with the preparation of a detailed schedule that includes milestone completion dates for specific tasks and the overall project—an effort we have already begun, as seen in Section 7.

As Project Manager, Sri will use our MIS to monitor project progress on a bi-weekly basis. The MIS includes automated budget tracking to allow tighter fiscal control over all project tasks, helping our team maintain control of schedule, budget, and expenses. The Eucalyptus Street Extension Project’s work plan and specific details will be entered into MIS, including expenses and labor—the system will then provide Sri with City of Victorville ƒ TRCASANC016413.2026 ƒ 18

up-to-date status reports on the project twice a month. This monitoring capability will help Sri evaluate the project’s workload requirements and develop effort estimates for each member of the team (and our entire firm).

Kimley-Horn staff also use daily electronic timesheets, a practice which allows us to accurately track and bill our time; allows contract and task order managers the ability to check progress daily; and maintains compliance with federal auditing requirements set by the Defense Contract Audit Agency.

Subconsultant Coordination
Kimley-Horn places a strong emphasis on subconsultant coordination as an integral part of our project delivery and quality management approach. We see ourselves as an extension of client staff, and that same standard of quality applies to every subconsultant on our team.

Our QC/QA program includes the review of project documents and supporting data provided by subconsultants, with project managers, QC managers, and key task staff all sharing responsibility for confirming that subconsultant deliverables meet the same technical and scope requirements as our own. We hold an internal kick-off meeting with key individuals, including necessary subconsultants, to clearly define the scope of services at the outset, and we use team network quality control as a day-to-day peer review process in which technical documentation, analysis, and correspondence prepared by subconsultants are reviewed by a team member other than the individual or subconsultant who prepared them. This process allows us to develop quality reports, plans, specifications, and planning documents in a costeffective manner while giving both our deliverables and our subconsultants’ deliverables a thorough quality check.

Effective Communication and Progress Reporting
For all client meetings, we will prepare meeting agendas and summaries, including a list of action items and decisions made. We will distribute the meeting summary to attendees for review and comment. A final meeting summary will be issued if clarifications and/or corrections are identified. This documentation allows our clients to record decisions made early in the project or perhaps by previous staff members. This helps our clients and our team track action items and stay on track. We will provide a monthly project status report with our monthly invoices.

Regular meetings are important but are not our only means of communication. We will tailor our communication to a method that works best for the City.

We regularly track lists of outstanding items for each project and use these lists to remind each responsible party of their tasks and deadlines.

Kimley-Horn has also implemented state-of-the-art systems for online and virtual meetings where we can provide presentations, documents for review, real-time mark-ups, and virtual face-to-face communications.

Stakeholder Coordination
Kimley-Horn’s professionals are experienced in both small- and large-scale projects that demand close coordination among multiple jurisdictions and stakeholder groups. Our team has developed relationships and trust with key decision-makers at the County of San Bernardino, other adjacent municipalities (e.g., cities of Hesperia, Apple Valley, Lancaster, etc.), and Caltrans District 8, among other local public agencies—this allows us to effectively communicate and build a project consensus in a timely manner on complex multi-jurisdictional projects.

We know that our clients expect a high level of responsiveness, communication, and quality. These high standards have been engrained in Kimley-Horn’s staff through our continued service to clients who must adhere to demanding schedules, a strict quality assurance program, and open lines of communication. Our experience has shown that there is no such thing as “over-communication.” Making certain that our team, our client’s staff, and local stakeholders are on the same page throughout the project will help avoid or mitigate potential issues that may arise.

Document Control
Following completion of our QC/QA process (detailed on the following page), Sri will manage the submission of design documents at each milestone completion date, confirming that all deliverables have passed independent review for technical accuracy, clarity, completeness, and scope compliance before they are submitted to the City. Supporting calculations, text, and data used to develop design plans or documents will signed and dated by the responsible individual, and all project decisions will be documented using a basis of design matrix to maintain a clear, traceable record throughout the life of the project. This disciplined approach to document control promotes consistency across submittals, reduces the potential for errors and omissions, and gives you confidence that every deliverable for this project reflects the full rigor of our internal QC/QA program.

Risk Resolution
Our team has already begun outlining potential project risks and how to mediate them as part of this proposal. We will continue this process with the City as part of the process and create a risk register to identify, document, and actively track risks throughout the life of this project.

The register will be populated with identified risks and assigned a likelihood rating, potential impact level, and designated owner responsible for monitoring and response. As the project progresses, the register will be reviewed at regular intervals, with status updates recorded and mitigation strategies adjusted as conditions evolve. This living document promotes transparency across the project team, confirms that no identified risk goes unaddressed, and gives you a clear, traceable record of how we are managing uncertainty from kickoff through final delivery.

Quality Control Procedures
We achieve quality through rigorous planning, coordination, supervision, technical direction, and the use of appropriately skilled professionals.

The following steps summarize our formal in-house program for complete quality management:
 Develop Detailed Work Plan. The work plan establishes major tasks, identifies staff to complete the tasks, determines how much time the tasks will take, designates quality control review staff, and details the schedule for accomplishment. Work plans will be developed and monitored by project manager Sri Chakravarthy, PE, TE and supported by identified task leads.
 Independent QC/QA. We will identify senior Kimley-Horn staff to lead independent QC/ QA reviews at the end of each project phase to ensure that deliverables are technically correct and consistent with project objectives.
 Peer Reviews. In situations involving unusual technical complexity or risk, a peer review will be initiated. Peer reviews will involve our task leads as well as other senior KimleyHorn managers and risk experts.  Perform Meticulous Project Documentation. Appropriate data and work papers that detail the choices that were evaluated and the basis for recommendations will support all documents. Project documentation is the responsibility of all Kimley-Horn team members.  Construction Administration. We will review project deliverables to consider constructability and maintenance implications.
 Final Project Manager Endorsement. We will evaluate each project deliverable for clarity, accuracy, completeness, and scope compliance.

Performance Metrics and Monitoring
In addition to regular use of the numerous project management tools listed previously, regular communication of project status updates will be provided on a bimonthly basis or as requested by the City so that all parties are on the same page and our work complies with your vision and sense of urgency. Kimley-Horn project managers are required to provide internal bi-monthly status reports of all their projects.

Kimley-Horn understands the need to be flexible and diverse enough to complete projects with short lead times and no increases in costs while providing creative solutions. For your project, Kimley-Horn has carefully selected key task leads and support staff with a passion for excellence who provide the full range of diverse multi-disciplinary experience and technical skills needed for this study.

The Kimley-Horn “Quality Call” Program
Kimley-Horn actively listens to clients through our Quality Call Program, established in 1990. Senior staff members call our clients to listen to their opinions of the services provided by the firm. The assigned caller receives a form featuring a variety of questions concerning the quality of client service. This program has enabled us to hear firsthand from hundreds of clients how we can improve our service and lets us know what we’re doing well so we can do more of it. We have used this program with municipal agencies throughout California, and we will continue to implement this check on quality for our future work in the City. ƒ 20
