February 23, 2023
Dear Mr. Grewe and Members of the Selection Committee:
The Nevada and Lemon Pedestrian Mobility Sidewalk project is a great opportunity for the City of Vista to use CDBG funds to build a stronger and more resilient community by constructing infrastructure that will improve accessibility for non-motorized users. CR Associates (CRA) has years of experience planning and designing projects that include pedestrian, green infrastructure and stormwater quality improvements. We are excited to team with the City to complete these improvements in the City of Vista; working with us will provide the following benefits to the project:
Experience with Similar Accessibility Projects. CRA staff has designed multiple sidewalk improvement projects with similar challenges: limited right-of-way, steep elevations, stormwater management, non-ADA compliant driveways, private encroachments in public right-of-way, and lack of existing infrastructure. Our past experience brings an array of solutions that can be applied to successfully deliver this project.
Team of Experts. We have assembled a dedicated team for this project with a history of delivering for the City and working collaboratively on similar projects. Our proficient in-house design team has successfully provided design services for similar type of projects for many local agencies. We appreciate the opportunity to present our qualifications and look forward to providing our services to the City of Vista.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our internal fiscal responsibility is supported by the
tools that we employ for our accounting and project
management systems. CRA uses the interactive web-
based management system, Ajera, to manage and
track all the financial aspects of the company. Ajera
fully integrates time entry, accounting, and project
management so data flows seamlessly and is updated in
real-time.
Our project managers use Ajera to successfully maintain control of a project budget by providing real-time
status reports on performance, variances, forecasts,
and expenditures for all project tasks. Our Accounting
staff utilize it for accounts payable, accounts receivable, billings and financial statement reporting.
We also feel a sense of external fiscal responsibility
in how we use public funds. We work closely with our
municipal clients to effectively utilize available project budget. Our diverse cross-trained staff ensure that
project tasks are performed by responsible individuals
with the appropriate level of experience. We understand that construction and long-term maintenance costs far
outweigh design costs, and we have a proven history of
creative value engineering solutions that provide cost
savings to the Client.

This important urban bikeway project constructs approximately 1/2 mile of the regional bike network along Park Boulevard. The addition of this missing segment will provide a critical connection between the eastern Hillcrest bikeways and the North Park Mid-City bikeways. To create a safe and comfortable bike facility that encourages more people of all ages and abilities to take up active transportation, the proposed improvements on Park Boulevard (a two-lane collector) include Class II buffered bikeways with double-buffers and a protected intersection at the intersection of Park Boulevard and Robinson Avenue. Best practices in treatments mitigate the conflict between vehicles and bicyclist to ensure that riders are kept visible and safe. CRA was responsible for preparation of construction bid documents consisting of roadway design, bike lanes geometrics, grading, traffic signal modification, and signing and striping.
CR Associates is currently designing a modern roundabout along Leucadia Boulevard at Hygeia Avenue in Encinitas, California. The design elements include construction of LID design features, decorative retaining walls (masonry and concrete materials) to protect existing utilities and provide screening for the adjacent properties, street lighting, and landscape and irrigation improvements. The design also includes drainage upgrades to resolve existing flood control issues and the introduction of roadside water quality BMPs to improve storm water quality. The precise grading design was particularly challenging due to the steep slopes on two of the four intersection approaches and the shallow depth of various utility lines. The project design also includes the relocation of three segments of water mains.

Section 3. Work Plan
a. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City will use CDBG funds to construct much needed sidewalk and curb ramps along Nevada Avenue from N. Santa Fe Avenue to Lemon Avenue and along Lemon Avenue from Nevada Avenue to Raintree Place. This grant program has the goal of building a stronger and more resilient community, and this project will accomplish that by providing a walkable path for residents of Vista. These corridors have very little existing pedestrian infrastructure, and some of what is out there is not ADA compliant. Adding sidewalk to one side of each street and adding/upgrading curb ramps will provide a great benefit to these residents by allowing safe and comfortable walking paths.
From our experience designing and constructing similar projects, we see the following as key challenges for this project:
Storm water conveyance
Limited right-of-way
Private encroachments
Storm water treatment
Conforms with existing
conditions
ADA retrofit
Pavement restoration
Each option on both corridors has different design and constructability challenges that can be overcome using an innovative approach and proven design methods. In general, street parking is valuable in this part of town, and any design consideration shall include street parking as part of the proposed solution. The following are our findings for each segment of the project based on our site visit and limited public input:
Nevada Ave Option 1 (North Side)
520’ of existing sidewalk
550’ of existing walking path separated by AC dike
Utilities blocking the accessible path
Non-ADA compliant driveways
Properties are slightly higher than the street
Right-of-way is behind walkable path
Stormwater drains east to west along Nevada
Nevada Ave Option 2 (South Side)
Limited existing sidewalk
No walkable path outside of limited sidewalk
Somewhat steep driveways connect to the road along the accessible path Significant elevation difference between properties
Properties higher than street
Lemon Ave Option 1 (East Side)
Properties significantly higher than street
Sidewalk may cause “bottoming out” of vehicles
Significant amount of small retaining walls/curbs may be needed to provide sidewalk
Steep driveways connect to the road along the accessible path Lemon Avenue has both a high point and a low point between Nevada and Raintree, with existing curb inlets approximately 100’ south of Raintree taking the stormwater from the part of Lemon that drains north, with the remaining water draining south on Lemon or west unto Nevada Lemon Ave Option 2 (West Side)
Properties lower than street – flooding into properties is a concern No walkable path nor curb
Significant private encroachment into public right-of-way 05/23/2023 C7 64 of 201

b. PROJECT APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
The City of Vista requires a consultant with experience in successfully designing projects that overcome the
challenges discussed in the Project Understanding. Our
team’s approach to pedestrian improvements comes from
years of experience delivering dozens of similar projects.
Our fundamental understanding of the City’s goals,
the local area, and our experience in delivering similar projects have all contributed to our approach to complete this project on-time and on-budget.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN
Preliminary design typically only includes 2D design,
but we consider that for this project a preliminary 3D
design will determine the opportunities, challenges,
and constraints that each corridor option presents. Our surveyor Gold Coast Surveying, Inc (GCSI) completed the aerial topography of this area in 2021, using that data and other information provided by the City, our team will:
Establish a flowline for each corridor
Prepare sections at three driveways for each corridor:
this will visually present the impact to private property Schematically lay out the impacts to private
encroachments in public right-of-way (we began this
exhibit as shown on exhibit A on page 20)
Identify drainage impacts for each option
Complete a preliminary constructability review of
each option
Addressing these challenges through preliminary design
is an important part of our approach as it will give the City the information needed to make correct decisions on the improvements that will be constructible under the funded budget.
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
Once an option is selected for each corridor, we will work with GCSI in determining the amount of field topographic survey that will be necessary to supplement the aerial
topography completed in 2021. We invited GCSI to form
our team, because of their knowledge of the city, their reputation for attention to detail, and their commitment to improving the City of Vista. The project will require a detail survey of public right-of-way and private property, as providing an accessible path that connects to private property might require encroaching into the adjacent
land.
DRIVEWAY DESIGN
An important component of this project is to minimize
the impact to adjacent properties. To ensure ADA
accessibility, ADA compliant driveways have to be
built along the selected corridors. Our team has
completed similar right-of-way constrained projects
and have designed different driveways that adapt to
the built environment restrictions. An important aspect of driveway selection is the reduction of impacts to
vehicles entering/leaving and preventing “bottoming
out”. To do so, each driveway has to be designed to be either a Type A or B contiguous driveway per the San
Diego Regional Standards Drawings (SDRSD) G-14A or
G-14F, a depressed driveway similar to SDRSD G-14D,
or if needed replace a driveway with a rolled curb per
City of Vista Standard Drawing SRF-10A. Our team
will determine the correct driveway that will reduce
the impact of “bottoming out” but also of stormwater
impacting private properties, and work directly with City staff in making the adequate selection.
STORMWATER QUALITY DESIGN
Our team includes local stormwater experts Tory R.
Walker Engineering (TRWE), with years of experience
designing storm water treatment and drainage systems.
We anticipate that this project will qualify for a Priority Development Project (PDP) Green Streets exemption, and
that hydromodification mitigation will not be required.
We understand that the City of Vista prefers to construct “traditional” BMPs for water quality treatment, as
described in the BMP Design Manual dated June 2016
and revised on September 2021, but we understand that
the City is open to installing proprietary BMPs, such as a Modular Wetland System, when right-of-way and space
is limited. Our team has done a preliminary analysis of the site and reviewed the as-builts provided by the City through Amendment 02 of this RFP, and have determined
that there is an opportunity to construct water quality BMPs in the public right-of-way on Nevada Avenue
east of the curb inlet located on the south side near the intersection with Santa Fe Avenue, and south of the curb inlet located on Santa Fe Avenue north of the intersection with Nevada Ave.

PAVEMENT IMPACT
Through our field assessment, we observed large areas of alligator cracking on Nevada Avenue. It is our experience that these areas require full depth replacement rather
than simply slurry seal or mill and overlay. CRA staff Aryo Rad has over 25 years of experience in pavement design, and will provide the required guidance to the City for a cost effective approach to these improvements. Leighton Engineering has been the geotechnical engineer of
record for numerous projects in the City of Vista, they understand this area and will support our team with
pavement recommendations.
UTILITY COORDINATION
There are multiple utilities that will require relocation to ensure ADA accessibility through these corridors. Our
staff has led the utility coordination on similar projects, and understand that utility relocation might be a critical path to meet the projects’ schedule. As soon as a notice to proceed is provided, we will request utility maps from the companies in the City including: AT&T, Cox, SDG&E,
Spectrum and the Vista Irrigation District. Using these utility maps along with the As-Builts provided by the
City we will create a utility base map and a utility conflict matrix to track the impacts to existing utilities from our proposed improvements. Beginning coordination with
utility companies in the preliminary design phase and
continuing it throughout the design process will reduce delays.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Delivering a high-quality design in the requested
timeframe proposed by the City will require close
collaboration between the design team and City staff.
This will be a true working partnership! Proven and
successful communication and project management
protocols are paramount when working on projects
with various moving parts. Having worked on multiple
pedestrian improvement projects in the past, our team is very familiar with completing complex projects with strict deadlines and has developed a number of tried-and-true
strategies. One effective strategy we would propose to
implement is to maintain active communication with City staff through bi-weekly conference calls, and in-person meetings to discuss deliverables at the Preliminary
Design phase, and the multiple submittals of the Final
Engineering phase.. These will greatly aid in formally
keeping the lines of communication open. Another
tactic we’ve employed on past projects is the creation
and maintenance of an action item matrix which is used
to track each item a stakeholder is responsible for. This approach has proven to foster accountability and improve the timeliness of each action’s completion.
As projects evolve, we know that requests can spring up at a moment’s notice. Our team prides itself on our past history of responsiveness to client’s requests as well as our flexibility to seamlessly accommodate project updates.
These characteristics have been woven into the fabric of how we go about our business. We encourage you to
contact our past and current clients to learn more about our passion for responsiveness. Lastly, as laid out above we’ve found that identifying challenges early is key to maintaining the project schedule. The upfront investment in developing driveway sections, private construction in public right-of-way impacts, stormwater conveyance, and utility relocations have time and again proven worth their weight in gold when the PS&E documents are created,
and as the projects are constructed.
QUALITY CONTROL APPROACH
CR Associates is passionate about providing quality
services and products. CRA was founded on a
commitment to fostering a workplace culture dedicated
to delivering products that are accurate, well-written, based on sound reasoning and assumptions, and have
been thoroughly reviewed by the senior staff before
submission. CRA has the policies and procedures in
place to ensure that our team delivers a quality product every time. Our team’s quality control plan will include reviews by the project manager, by an internal 3rd party reviewer who is an expert in the individual discipline, and an interdisciplinary review by the project manager
before submittal. This same approach has been used very successfully by our team on similar sidewalk improvement projects.

As a sidewalk project, it is anticipated that the Nevada and Lemon Pedestrian Mobility improvements will qualify for a Priority Development Project (PDP) Green Streets exemption and, as such, hydromodification mitigation will not be required. The report will provide Design Capture Volume (DCV) calculations and operations and maintenance guidance for the proposed storm water pollutant control mitigation systems. The SWQMP will be provided as a deliverable at each of the prescribed submittal intervals of 60%, 90%, and 100% design levels, and will contain a level of detail consistent with the corresponding design plans.
✔Deliverables:
Project Determination Checklist, SWQMP, Water Quality Technical Report, and Design Exhibits. ➥Task 5a – Drainage Study
The CRA team will prepare a final engineering drainage study in accordance with the methodologies set forth in the San Diego County Hydrology Manual (SDCHM) to demonstrate that the proposed project does not significantly alter the existing hydrologic conditions or adversely impact downstream drainage infrastructure during the 100-year storm event. The drainage study will include rational method calculations and, if appropriate, hydraulic calculations for the proposed systems. It is assumed that the proposed project will not significantly increase peak flows and, as such, peak flow detention will not be required. It is also assumed that the public drainage systems downstream of the project area are adequately sized to collect and convey tributary runoff. The project does not propose any extension or expansion of the existing public drainage systems. Project improvements are limited to those required for water quality mitigation requirements. ✔Deliverables:

B. Preliminary Design
Create the following for each corridor option (four total) Using the AutoCAD topographic base map, and aerial imagery from NearMap, develop a preliminary horizontal layout of the improvements and a preliminary striping plan showing lane configuration of the four options as depicted in Exhibit A. Design a profile of the flowline along the gutter.
Design a 3D 5’ sidewalk with a 6” curb and gutter.
Create up to three sections of different driveways per corridor option (total of up to twelve)
CRA will create preliminary plans using the City’s standard titleblock (Arch D – 24x36), with plan views that can later be used for final design. Preliminary plans will show:
Existing features: survey monuments, utilities, streetlights, spot elevations, and existing landscape.
Proposed curb line, back of walk, sidewalk, driveways (SDRSD G-14A, G-14D, or G-14F; depending on right-of-way constraints), and potential stormwater BMP locations. Impacts to private encroachments in public right-of-way Preliminary plans will not include:
Detailed vertical design of flowline, top of curb, and driveways.
As identified in Task 1, an in-person meeting will be held with City staff to discuss the preliminary plans, and select an option for each corridor to move towards final design. It is assumed that horizontal or vertical revisions to the preliminary design will be addressed as part of the 60% plans of final design.
C. Final Design
CRA will prepare 60%, 90%, and 100% construction documents for City review and comment, and a Final set of construction documents for bid after the 100% plan review. The design will be based on the following standards: City of Vista Standard Drawings, San Diego Regional Standard Drawings, Caltrans Highway Design Manual and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD).

*The Driveway Detail sheets will include horizontal and vertical control points, impacts to private encroachments in public right-of-way, and project impacts to private property (grading) for four typical driveways.
** Lighting and Electrical Plans will depict features such as light fixture placement, conduit and pull box layout, conductor information, utility service connection point(s), and other relevant information needed to depict the design. A photometrics analysis will be conducted to determine appropriate lighting levels within the project limits. The focus of the analysis will be on the lighting levels for pedestrian walkways within the project limits and the intersection of Nevada Avenue and N. Citrus Avenue. It is assumed that Voltage Drop calculations will not be required, and that existing lighting conductors and circuit boards have capacity for additional proposed lighting.
It is assumed that the City will provide consolidated plan comments after the 60%, 90%, and 100%, and that CRA will meet with City staff through an in-person meeting as identified in Task 1 to discuss the comments.
The CRA team includes Neri Landscape Architecture (Neri LA) on an as-needed basis to provide Landscape Architecture design services if the permanent BMPs require landscaping and irrigation, as well as if connections to private properties impact existing landscaping. Once the scope of Neri LA is determined, the effort and scope will be submitted to the City and will only be completed after written approval by City staff.

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project area encompasses approximately 1.27 acres of residential land use, landscape and roadway along Leucadia Blvd between Hermes Ave and Fulvia St . The project area also extends approximately 125 feet to the north and 150 feet to the south along Hygeia. The project proposes a roundabout at the intersection of Hygeia Ave and Leucadia Blvd, concrete sidewalks along Leucadia Blvd, drainage and green street facilities, and landscaping
2.0 GREEN STREET APPROACH
Per the City of Encinitas Engineering Design Manual dated February 2016, the project will be PDP exempt by following the USEPA Green Street guidance set forth in the “Managing Wet Weather with Green Infrastructure – Municipal Handbook: Green Streets”. This manual describes various green street design methodologies that can be implemented along streetscape projects. The first design implementation utilized is the layout and location of the pervious areas throughout the corridor. The pervious area layout was designed to minimized impervious area, respect the existing hydrologic functions of the land, while also providing safe routes of travel. The high concentration of proposed pervious planters throughout the corridor will provide source control of storm water and reduce the transport of pollutants to the existing storm drain system. The pervious area layout separates otherwise hydraulically connected impervious areas with planters, such as detached sidewalks, as well as planted street trees. The project will also incorporate two (2) bioretention basins along Leucadia Blvd. These basins will utilize curb cuts for the entrance and exit of storm water runoff. There is also a third proposed basin located behind the curb return at the northwest corner of the Leucadia/Hygeia intersection. This basin has an outflow structure to discharge runoff to the storm drain system. The basins will incorporate native soils, planted vegetation, be irrigated, and lined with impermeable membranes. The infiltration rate for the underlying native soil was tested and determined to be between 0.67 in/hr and 1.94 in/hr.

200-1.7 Biofiltration Soil Media
200-1.7.1 General
Bioretention Soil Media (BSM) is intended to filter storm water and support plant growth while minimizing the leaching of potential pollutants. This specification includes requirements that apply to BSM used in stormwater treatment BMPs.
A summary of BSM specification requirements is included in Table 1.
Table 1. BSM Specification Requirement Summary
Component Requirement
BSM Material Composition Sand: 60-80% by volume
Topsoil: 0-20% by volume
Compost: 0-20% by volume
Alternative Blends Acceptable but they must meet performance- based specifications.
Sand Type Washed sand conforming to particle size
distribution
Topsoil Type Sandy loam or loamy sand with clay < 15% and gravel < 25%
Compost Type From a CalRecycle permitted facility. Biosolids derived materials are not acceptable
BSM Permeability 8 to 24-inches/hour for BMPs; testing is required to demonstrate.
Agronomic Suitability
Requirements
Limits for salts and potential toxins. C:N ratio
between 15 and 40.
Water Quality Related Limits Requirements related to specific pollutants when water quality of receiving waters is impaired for
those pollutants.
Blended BSM shall consist of 60% to 80% by volume sand, up to 20% by volume topsoil, and up to 20% by volume compost. Sand, Topsoil, and Compost used in BSM shall conform to requirements listed herein, respectively.

Alternative mix components and proportions may be utilized, provided that the whole blended mix conforms to whole BSM criteria. Alternative mix designs may include alternative proportions and/or alternative organic amendments. Alternative mixes are subject to approval by the Engineer. 200-1.7.2 Submittals
At least thirty (30) days prior to ordering materials, the Contractor shall submit the following to the Engineer:
• Source/supplier of BSM
• Location of source/supplier
• A physical sample of the BSM
• BSM test results from a third-party independent laboratory • Test results for individual component materials as required • Description of proposed methods and schedule for mixing, delivery, and placement of BSM.
The test results shall be no older than 120 days and shall accurately represent the materials and feed stocks that are currently available from the supplier. 200-1.7.3 Quality Assurance
Close adherence to the material quality controls herein are necessary in order to support healthy vegetation, minimize pollutant leaching, and assure sufficient permeability to infiltrate/filter runoff during the life of the facility. Amendments may be included to adjust agronomic properties.
Acceptance of the material will be based on test results certified to be representative. Test results shall be conducted no more than 120 days prior to delivery of the blended BSM to the project site.
For projects installing more than 100 cubic yards of BSM, batch-specific tests of the blended mix shall be provided to the Engineer for every 100 cubic yards of BSM along with a site plan showing the placement locations of each BSM batch within the facility.
Test results shall demonstrate conformance to agronomic suitability and hydraulic suitability criteria listed herein. No delivery, placement, or planting of BSM shall begin until test results confirm the suitability of the BSM. The Contractor shall submit a written request for approval which shall be accompanied by written analysis results from a written report of a testing agency. The testing agency must be registered by the State for agronomic soil evaluation laboratory test fees shall be paid for by the Contractor.
200-1.7.4 Agronomic Suitability
