3 II. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The City of Vista has been awarded a grant from the USDA Forest Service to plant approximately 125 trees in the median and alon g both sides of a 1.3 mile stretch of N.

Santa Fe Avenue from Vista Village Drive to W. Bobier Drive. With City funding, the project will also design and install a new midblock pede strian crossing at E. Washington Street and N. Santa Fe Ave intersection to improve the pedestrian route to and from the Vista Transit Center. Given the scope of the project, this will require a very experienced and creative Engineering and Landscape Architectural team.

The USDA Forest Service grant objectives an d goals are to increase tree canopy cover, reduce urban heat islands, reduce runoff, incr ease air quality in lower income/underserved communities per grant narrative. The project wi ll remove, replace, expand and/or upgrade the existing irrigation systems to supply wate r for the existing and new trees and will make necessary modifications to the existing hardscape and irrigation to accommodate the project’s landscape improvements. The project proposes new trees along both sides of the street and the median. The design team will need to inventory and evaluate the N. Santa Fe Ave corridor to optimize the use of the new trees in combination with existing trees, landscaping and irrigation to meet and comply with grant objectives. The tree selection will utilize the resources provided by the US Forest Service and its partners along with input from City of Vista Public Works Landscape manager.

Historically, this section of N. Santa Fe Ave has always been a major route from the early 1900’s as a 2-lane road nestled in an agricult ural community to its current function as 4 lane divided arterial in the heart of an urbanized Vista. As the City of Vista developed from rural to urban, there have been many, unus ual and/or undocumented improvements with the underground facilities. For example, in the southbound direction starting from East Drive south to the Linda Rhoades Recreation Center across the street from Nevada Ave there was a large 6’ x 13’ concrete open channel that conveyed drainage for area along the west side of the original 2 lane road. When N. Santa Fe Ave was widened to a 4-lane divided arterial, the channel was capped with a reinforced concrete top which is inches below the current asphalt pavement and aligns directly under th e bike and outside lane of the southbound direction for approximately 0.4 miles. In addition to this storm drain the existing underground utilities throughout the entire corridor is very crowded with fiber optic, communication, streetlight, sewer, water, electrical utilities along with old errant utilities therefore, the irrigation alignment will be ch allenging and will require careful surveying, evaluation, potholing and design. Even the placement of each tree may be dictated or influenced by the congested underground alignments.

In addition, the City of Vista would like to in stall a new midblock pedestrian crossing at the end of the curb return north of E. Washington Street and N. Santa Fe Ave. intersection. This would provide a signalized crossing for pedestrians who hazardously cross the median at the left turn pocket in the northbound directio n where there is an opening in the median 05/27/2025
C6

4 fencing. The new pedestrian signal will provid e a safer crossing and improve the pedestrian route to/from the Vista Transit Center.

With crowded underground utilities along with a traffic signal design it was determined that a lead civil engineering firm partnered with a landscape architect subconsultant would provide the best solutions. Team members wo uld provide expertise in their perspective fields. The lead engineering firm can tackle the complexities of the utilities and traffic signal while the landscape architect can navigate the USDA Forest Service grant requirements and landscape design.

Reconstruction of the sidewalk, median, ir rigation, landscaping and pavement will be needed to accommodate the proposed improvements.

The following design objectives should be considered during the design development of the project:

1. Incorporate sustainable/practical land scape and irrigation design principles.

2. Maximize tree canopy improvements and integrate into existing street improvements.

3. Identify and evaluate potential util ity conflicts and avoid any costly utility relocation or modifications.

4. Minimize impacts to private property,

5. Maximize the preservation of mature landscaping and healthy tree specimens.

6. Incorporate sustainable design principl es and meet or exceed all stormwater regulations and requirements.

7. Minimize construction costs and long-term maintenance costs.

8. Ensure all USDA Forest Service gr ant requirements are met to maintain funding reimbursement. Provide a plan that is within the Forest Service Grant budget allowance, there are no additional funds.

9. Increase the pedestrian safety and mobility at the Washington Street mid block pedestrian crossing

10. Maximize the use of existing power and water source connections and minimize or eliminate the need for additional water/electric meters.

Attachment “A” contains exhibits showing the Grant Narrative for the landscape improvements and construction cost estimate. Also attached is the midblock pedestrian crossings on N. Santa Fe Ave recently constructed with the Townsite Complete Street Project. The engineer’s estimate of probable construction cost for landscape project is $1,358,370.00. The Construction estimate for th e traffic signal is $250,000. The total cost for construction is $1,608,370.00.

5. STATEMENT OF NEED/PROBLEM –
The City of Vista, CA is proposing a project to plant an es�mated total of 125 trees in the median and along both sides of a 1.3-mile stretch of N. Santa Fe Ave. and install and upgrade outdated irriga�on systems to supply water for the planted trees. It is necessary to update the irriga�on system as part of the addi�onal tree canopy project. The exis�ng irriga�on system would not be able to sustain the addi�onal newly planted trees and the dated pipes themselves prove to be unstable requiring costly maintenance for old technology. The exis�ng outdated piping for irriga�on would prove poten�ally dangerous, costly, and ineffec�ve to retro fit into a newer system of irriga�on.

This area is densely traveled by motorized vehicles, includes a transit center for buses and commuter trains, and is heavily u�lized with ac�ve transporta�on like walking and biking. It includes schools, a skate park, a transit center, mul�ple businesses, and residen�al homes (soon to include 62 affordable housing units for homeless seniors). The area is lacking in tree canopy; according to the Tree Equity Score Data, th
e census tracts along this sec�on of N. Santa Fe are
among the highest priority for the area with a range of 7%-16% current canopy coverage in the census tracts. This project aligns with the Jusitce40 ini�a�ve, State Forest Ac�on Plans, and the 10- year Urban and Community Forestry Ac�on Plan as well as the City of Vista’s Master Plan and Climate Ac�on Plan. The project will enhance the city’s urban tree canopy, provide numerous environmental benefits, improve health and well-being for the residents, promote environmental jus�ce for underserved/disadvantaged communi�es, and align with the City’s resource conversa�on and sustainability goals.

6. GOALS – Describe the goals this work will help to achieve. Goals must be consistent with program authori�es and guidelines. Iden�fy and briefly summarize the long-term strategies working toward this goal being implemented in this grant narra�ve. Provide concise reference to strategies in the State’s Forest Ac�on Plan (page number, strategy number). Do not copy and paste long sec�ons of text.

The project of plan�ng 125 trees and installing and upgrading the irriga�on system for the 1.3-mile stretch of N.

Santa Fe Rd between Vista Village and Bobier Dr. contributes to the goals in this funding opportunity to:
05/27/2025

a. Foster individuals, groups, and organiza�ons in the communi�es served to become engaged par�cipants in urban forest planning, plan�ng, and management, especially those in disadvantaged communi�es that do not have adequate resources to install or maintain green infrastructure or are underrepresented.
b. Protect, enhance, and expand equitable urban tree canopy cover to maximize community access to human health, social, ecological, and economic benefits par�cularly in disadvantaged and nature-deprived communi�es experiencing low tree canopy cover, extreme heat and frequent flooding. Improve and increase access to parks and nature in communi�es. c. Encourage proac�ve and systema�c maintenance and monitoring of urban trees and forested natural areas to improve forest health; assess risk to forests from pests, disease, and adverse climate impacts; and formulate adap�ve management strategies to improve forest resilience. d. Aid in planning, goal se�ng, and skill sharing with other professions such as urban planners, engineers, educators, recrea�onal and public health officials.

The project will address environmental issues of air quality, ground water contamina�on, climate change, and provide green infrastructure health and biodiversity to promote a resilient environment. In alignment with the goals from the State of California’s Forest Ac�on Plan of protec�ng and enhancing public benefit from trees by increasing urban forestry programs in communi�es that would strongly benefit from the increased canopy cover, cooling effects and air quality improvements that trees offer, the addi�on of 125 trees in this area would provide cooling and shading benefits that would improve the quality of life while also ac�ng as carbon sinks to reduce greenhouse gases, and reducing ground water runoff.

According to The Ten-Year Urban and Community Forestry Ac�on Plan studies have revealed trees not only contribute to posi�ve health consequences like improved air quality and reduced urban heat island effect, but also contribute to cogni�ve, emo�onal, and physiological health, including stress reduc�on. In alignment with the goals of The Ten-Year Urban and Community Forestry Ac�on Plan of diversity, equity, and leadership, this project will provide access to nature by plan�ng 125 trees in underserved neighborhoods that have less access to trees and green space and will promote health and well-being to these underserved communi�es.

This project directly provides benefits for disadvantaged communi�es (See Atachment B. Disadvantaged Communi�es Area Mapping Images 1-6) in the City of Vista in the areas iden�fied by the Jus�ce40 Ini�a�ve including addressing climate change, remedia�on and reduc�on of legacy pollu�on, and cri�cal clean water infrastructure. By reducing greenhouse gas and improving air quality through cardon sequestering and reducing urban island heat, street trees address issues of both climate change and pollu�on. Trees also reduce urban runoff (e.g., debris/oils/heavy metals) and stormwater runoff that can lead to the degrada�on of surface water quality in our watersheds. This has led to many of the beneficial uses of watersheds not being atained. Increasing trees in urban areas will reduce impairments to the waterbodies within Vista’s watersheds and will promote cri�cal clean water infrastructure.

Upgrading outdated and installing new drip irriga�on systems eliminates overspray runoff that can contribute to water pollutants and installing bubblers directs the water directly to the trees’ root systems to eliminate flooding and runoff while improving water conserva�on efforts. Addi�onally, the project will enhance the economic opportuni�es for the community by enhancing the appeal of the neighborhood to encourage development and private investment.

The City of Vista’s General Plan 2030 gui
des the city’s future growth through sets of goals and policies. Specifically, this included the goal (Resources Conserva�on and Sustainability Goal 2) to reduce GHG emissions from community ac�vi�es and municipal facili�es within the city to support the state’s efforts under AB 32, and to mi�gate the community’s contribu�on to global climate change (City of Vista 2012a). Vista recognizes the interconnectedness of water quality and conserva�on to these goals. As men�oned, urban runoff and storm water have been shown to contribute to the degrada�on of surface water quality. To address this as part of this project the City will prac�ce low impact development by plan�ng trees that are low water use and drought resistant. It is 05/27/2025
C6

also paramount to install and upgrade outdated irriga�on in the project area to avoid overwatering, ongoing maintenance issues, and corroded and poten�ally harmful outdated materials. Low impact development will include installing drip irriga�on systems that do not allow for overspray and runoff. Installing bubblers focuses water to the root zone to mi�gate flooding and runoff in the area as well, while installing smart sensors prevent overwatering and aid in water conserva�on efforts. Smart sensors provide water saving automa�on that saves �me and can pinpoint issues early that can make a difference between trees thriving or not.

Sta�s�cs show up to 40% savings on water usage when smart sensors are installed in an irriga�on system which provides significant cost savings.

Dukes, M. D. (n.d.). Water Conserva�on Poten�al of Landscape Irriga�on Smart Controllers. American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2151–0032. The General Plan 2030 includes RCS Policy 3.3: Manage the city’s stock of vegeta�on on public property (e.g., street trees, planted medians, lawns at public facili�es and parks, etc.) to reduce water consump�on.

The City’s goals to reduce GHG emissions and improve energy efficiency resulted in the adop�on of the City of Vista Climate Ac�on Plan in 2013 (2013 CAP) and the city’s Energy Roadmap, the City of Vista Bicycle Master Plan, the development of new bicycle and pedestrian facili�es, increased tree plan�ng in public parks and right-of-way, and improved energy efficiency in exis�ng buildings and includes the goal to reduce the projected demand for water service in the city through water conserva�on and increased use of recycled water. Plan�ng 125 trees and installing and upgrading the exis�ng irriga�on system in the project area will make a posi�ve impact towards those goals.

Vi
sta has completed projects of similar or larger scope, such as the now re-envisioned corridor of S. Santa Fe Ave that the City saw through three phases to comple�on. A reconstruc�on of almost a mile of S. Santa Fe Avenue between Vista Village Drive and Civic Center Drive provides a pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare through the downtown core. This area, known as the Paseo Santa Fe corridor, creates a sense of place and has revitalized and beau�fied downtown. Now established, the street enhancements will drive other downtown uses and will benefit local businesses and the community alike. Construc�on took place in three phases, with the final comple�on in December 2020. The project began in May 2014 and the first phase (.25 miles) was completed in early April 2016. This por�on extends from Main Street to Ocean View Drive.

T
he streetscape improvements included the complete makeover of this segment of S. Santa Fe Avenue, including below ground improvements such as new water, sewer, and storm drain lines. The visible improvements included placing overhead u�lity lines underground, narrowing the road from four lanes to two lanes, construc�ng new sidewalks; installing streetlights and street furnishings; installing a gateway arch sign; and construc�ng Vista's first roundabout at Eucalyptus Avenue. Veterans Memorial Park w as constructed by Affirmed Housing and the Pinamon� family. While much of the project included tree-lined streets, they are palm trees that do not provide large amounts of shade that would come from a different tree species. In the project that this grant is funding, we want to be mindful of the amount of shade provided for heat-island reduc�on and GHG reduc�on by the trees we plant, thus considering species of trees more suited to those goals.

L
essons learned from the S. Santa Fe project include allowing for con�ngencies and ensuring flow between mul�ple phases of the project. This will be especially important in the current project on N. Santa Fe that this grant will fund, as it aims to feed into the larger CIP project for a complete streets vision for N. Santa Fe to create a corridor that is safe and accessible for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, public transit riders, and motorists.

These projects o�en involve redesigning streets to include features such as sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, and traffic calming measures, with the goal of promo�ng ac�ve transporta�on and improving overall safety and mobility for all users. These factors will need to be established early on in design to incorporate with the establishment of a tree canopy and installa�on of irriga�on systems.

The project's objec�ve is to plant 125 trees in the median and along both sides of N. Santa Fe Ave, spanning approximately 1.3 miles from Vista Village Drive at the southern end to Bobier Dr. at the northern end. In addi�on, the outdated irriga�on systems will be updated and installed to supply water for the planted trees using sustainable methods that reduce water usage using smart sensors and minimize water run-off. The exis�ng outdated piping for irriga�on would prove poten�ally dangerous, costly, and ineffec�ve to retro fit into a newer system of irriga�on. The exis�ng irriga�on system would not be able to sustain the addi�onal newly planted trees and the dated pipes themselves prove to be unstable requiring costly maintenance for old technology.

This ini�a�ve aims to improve the city's urban tree canopy, offer various environmental advantages, enhance the well-being of the residents, and promote environmental jus�ce for underserved and disadvantaged communi�es.

There are four census tracts in the designated project area: 192.06, 194.04, 195.01, and 195.02. Census tracts 195.01 and 194.04 border the east side of the N. Santa Fe Corridor from Vista Village Drive to Bobier Dr, while 195.02 and 192.06 border the west side. All four census tracts encompass low-income neighborhoods and a large percentage of under-represented racial/ethnic minori�es.

The Ten-Year Urban and Community Forestry Ac�on Plan defines Underserved Communi�es as communi�es that do not receive equitable financial and technical assistance as other communi�es might, in maximizing the benefits from the conserva�on and management of their natural resources. In this context, the term “underserved” encompasses low income, under-represented racial / ethnic minori�es; Na�ve Americans; people with disabili�es; and the elderly.

According to the Interim Implementa�on Guide for the Jus�ce40 Ini�a�ve, agencies should define community as “either a group of individuals living in geographic proximity to one another, or a geographically dispersed set of individuals (such as migrant workers or Na�ve Americans), where either type of group experiences common condi�ons.” The N. Santa Fe Corridor that consists of the project loca�on can be considered a community by the defini�on of a group of individuals living in geographic proximity to each other even though it consists of four separate census tracts.

According to the Interim Implementa�on Guide for the Jus�ce40 Ini�a�ve for an area to be “disadvantaged” agencies should consider appropriate data, indices, and screening tools to determine whether a specific community is disadvantaged based on a combina�on of variables that may include, but are not limited to, the following:
o Low income, high and/or persistent poverty.
o High unemployment and underemployment.
o Racial and ethnic residen�al segrega�on, par�cularly where the segrega�on stems from discrimina�on by government en��es.
o Linguis�c isola�on.
o High housing cost burden and substandard housing.
o Distressed neighborhoods.
o High transporta�on cost burden and/or low transporta�on access. o Dispropor�onate environmental stressor burden and high cumula�ve impacts. o Limited water and sanita�on access and affordability.
o Dispropor�onate impacts from climate change.
o High energy cost burden and low energy access.
o Jobs lost through the energy transi�on.
o Access to healthcare.

The project area comprises of four census tracts, all of which exhibit mul�ple variables of a disadvantaged community, albeit not consistently across all four tracts. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the specific project area concerning these factors, the EJ Screen Tool was u�lized. The project area was marked on a map that encompasses the N. Santa Fe Corridor, selected for tree plan�ng, and extends only to the east and west sides, excluding the en�rety of each census tract, but instead, focusing on the project area itself. This area covers approximately 0.26 square miles and has a popula�on of around 3,204. The project area ranks excep�onally high 05/27/2025
C6

in the Environmental Jus�ce indexes in the USA percen�le comparison. For example, air quality indicators range from the 80th percen�le (air toxins respiratory HI EJ index) to the 98th percen�le (par�culate mater 2.5 EJ index).

Even when compared to the state, the area's air toxics cancer risk EJ index is in the 90th percen�le, indica�ng dispropor�onate environmental stressor burden and high cumula�ve impacts. According to the same report, 97% of the popula�on in the area are people of color, indica�ng racial and ethnic residen�al segrega�on, with 69% falling under the EJ Screen tool's "low-income" index, and 32% belonging to limited English-speaking households, indica�ng linguis�c isola�on. (See Atachment C. EJ Screen Report). Median household income in the four census tracts is well below the median income of $91,003 for San Diego County where the cost of living is 47% higher than the na�onal average, 8th in the na�on according to a recent report by Apartment list.

Taking a more comprehensive view of the broader area, including all four complete census tracts, each tract meets the criteria of being a disadvantaged community. The CJEST mapping tool iden�fies census tracts 195.01 and 195.02 as disadvantaged communi�es based on its criteria (Atachment B. Image 1). Addi�onally, both census tracts are categorized as "opportunity zones" on the HUD resources map (Atachment B. Image 2). Census tract 195.01 is classified as an area of persistent poverty and a historically disadvantaged community, while census tract 195.02 is an area of persistent poverty and census tract 192.06 is a historically disadvantaged community. (Atachment B. Images 3-6) The term "Area of Persistent Poverty" refers to a census tract where the project is located, with a poverty rate of at least 20% based on the 2014-2018 5-year data series from the American Community Survey of the Bureau of the Census. "Historically Disadvantaged Community" is defined for the Department of Transporta�on RAISE program, in line with OMB's Interim Guidance for the Jus�ce40 Ini�a�ve.

USDA’s The Free and Reduced Meal Program, another na�onally recognized vulnerability indicator based on household income and poverty level, reveals high percentages of students qualifying for the program in the project census tracts. Census tract 194.04 with Bobier Elementary has 89.4% of the students qualifying for the program and Maryland Elementary with 91.7% qualifying for the program. Census tract 195.01 with Vista Academy of Visual Arts has 78.3% of the students qualifying for the program and California Ave. Elementary School has 76.9% qualifying for the program. (Atachment D.). Addi�onally, the project area along N. Santa Fe Ave. will benefit disadvantaged communi�es in these census tracts as defined by the federally-approved EPA IRA Disadvantage Communi�es mapping too l (Atachment E.).

This project aims to address the issue that many studies reveal that the distribu�on of trees and park space o�en dispropor�onately benefits predominantly White and more affluent communi�es (Wolch, J.R., J. Byrne, and J.P.

Newell, 2014). It is important to note that this project is a vital one that will compliment addi�onal improvements slated for the area as part of a complete streets program to include mul�-modal connec�vity, traffic calming measures, pedestrian crosswalks at mul�ple points and improved bus sta�ons, and art installa�ons.

Groundbreaking took place May 2023 on a 62-unit complex for homeless seniors on N. Santa Fe Ave. in the tree plan�ng project area. The census tracts and the targeted area for the project of plan�ng trees and installing and upgrading the irriga�on for watering them will benefit a disadvantaged, low-income community, comprised of mostly people of color that have environmental and health burdens and limited access to trees and park spaces and thus qualifies for the match waiver.

The bidding process for contracts and consultant selec�ons in the City of Vista purchases involves writen specifica�ons outlining quality, quan�ty, delivery, and work scope, along with terms and condi�ons. City staff review specifica�ons to ensure fair compe��on. The basis for awarding contracts is to select the lowest responsible and responsive bid mee�ng quality, fitness, and capacity requirements at the lowest price. Factors like delivery �me, quality, references, and payment terms influence the award.

9. KEY PERSONNEL – The City of Vista’s Finance department is responsible for managing all financial ac�vi�es of the City of Vista. The department oversees the City’s revenues, expenditures, investments, accoun�ng, and debt. The department also provides dependable, efficient service to the City Council, City Manager, all City departments, employees, suppliers of goods and services, bond holders, and the public. In addi�on to planning for and monitoring the City’s fiscal health, the department also prepares all necessary financial reports and complies with audit requirements. The department works closely with grant managers to ensure compliance with awards. The City receives more than $10 million in grant funds annually, and leverages Federal, State, Local, and Private-Sector grant funds. A grant management system is in place to organize grant awards. The City has received no findings from external annual audits and remains in good standing with all local, federal, and state grantors.

The project improvements will be maintained through the City’s Public Works Department, funds for maintenance ac�vi�es are managed for landscape projects throughout the City. Public Works will also manage the new landscaping at these loca�ons, ensuring the trees and new plants are established. Staff understand that there is a failure rate when plan�ng, so funding will be budgeted to do any necessary replan�ng. City of Vista’s Public Works Supervisor, Yale Jefferies, has 19 years in park and landscape maintenance and is a Qualified Water Efficient Landscape (QWEL) cer�fied and is in the process of becoming a Cer�fied Arborist. He has successfully overseen projects of similar scope including Redevelopment of Center Medians for the City of Coronado in Coronado Cay’s and re-modeling of the center medians for the City of Vista on Sycamore Avenue and SR-78.

Husam Hasenin, the City of Vista’s Traffic Engineer, has been working for the City of Vista for 15 years, during which he has been engaged in local and regional transporta�on planning. He led the comple�on of mul�ple local planning efforts including corridor studies and mul�modal complete street plans. He has also worked closely with NCTD (North County Transit District) on both opera�onal and planning issues. On the regional level, he has been part of technical working groups tasked with the development of various types of short- and long- range plans such as the regional transporta�on plan, microtransit use, and most recently the North County Comprehensive 05/27/2025

Personnel/salary costs must be adequately supported and documented in your records (e.g., �me sheets, personnel ac�vity reports).

BUDGET NARRATIVE
The USDA Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Grant is intended to promote sustainable urban and community forests, enhance the quality of life in urban environments and underserved/disadvantaged communi�es. The project narra�ve includes jus�fica�on for a match waiver and thus all project costs are federal funds that would be funded through this grant opportunity. To achieve the objec�ves of the grant, we have iden�fied several budget items to support our efforts. In this budget narra�ve, we will explain and jus�fy each of the budget items that we have included. The total project cost es�mate is $ . Two categories are included in this es�mate: personnel at $ and contractual at $ . Supplies are not listed under the supply category because the contracted service provider will be responsible as part of the contract for furnishing the items needed for installa�on and project comple�on based on final design of the landscape architect.

1. Personnel: total
The personnel budget item includes base salaries for two City of Vista staff members who will be involved in the project. This includes a project manager and an inspector. These individuals will be responsible for the planning, implementa�on, and management of the project.
• Project Manager base salary per year. 10% of full-�me hours devoted to this project= $ per year. Total for four years= $
• Inspector base salary $ 10% of full-�me hours devoted to this project = $ per year. Total for four years= $
Although the project is an�cipated to be completed in 3 years 8 months, four years is used as an es�mate to allow for delays and/or salary increases. Base salaries were provided by the City of Vista finance department budget manager, Sara Taylor. (Atachment A)

2. Contractual: total $
The breakdown of contractual costs below was obtained by consul�ng with a landscape architect, cer�fied arborist, a principal engineer, a public works supervisor, and obtaining a cost schedule from Vista Irriga�on District for up upgrades and reloca�on of meters. The costs consider the project site area size, current condi�ons, goal of maximizing the number of trees that could be planted in the project site while maintaining viability, considering climate and environmental factors like resilient trees, water use and poten�al run-off. The breakdown of the contractual costs are as follows:

Landscape Design
a. Landscape design: $
The landscape design budget item includes the crea�on of a comprehensive design plan for the project. The plan will incorporate the principles of sustainable urban and community forestry, considering factors such as tree 05/27/2025
C6

species selec�on, soil health, and water management. The design will be created by professionals in the field, and will be based on community input, site analysis, and other relevant factors.

The
landscape design cost es�mate is based on previous contracted services of similar scope and were provided by the City of Vista Public Works department.

Sit
e Prepara�on
b. Mobiliza�on: $10,000
The mobiliza�on budget item includes the costs associated with preparing the site for the start of the project. This includes delivering and se�ng up equipment at the site. Safety will be paramount as this project area is a high traffic area for motor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. The funds will be used to ensure that the construc�on site is safe and secure, and that the project can be completed efficiently. c. Potholing for exis�ng u�li�es: $17,000
The potholing budget item includes the costs associated with loca�ng and protec�ng exis�ng u�li�es, such as water lines, gas pipes, and electrical cables. This is a cri�cal step in the project process, as failure to locate and protect exis�ng u�li�es can result in accidents, service disrup�ons, and costly repairs. d. Demoli�on: $10,000
The demoli�on budget item includes the costs associated with removing or upda�ng exis�ng infrastructure that may be in the way of the new project. This may include por�ons of the sidewalk and other features that are no longer needed or may impede the new design, specifically obstruc�ng or impeding new trees being planted or irriga�on systems required for the new trees.

Site
prepara�on cost es�mates were based on previously contracted services of similar scope and were provided by the City of Vista Engineering department.

Irrig
a�on
e. Furnishing and installing and upgrading irriga�on system: $1,177,370 The irriga�on budget item includes the costs associated with providing an adequate water supply for the trees.

This includes the installa�on or upgrading of an irriga�on system that is designed to provide water efficiently, while minimizing water waste. The current pipes and irriga�on system are outdated, corroded, and would not produce adequate water supply based on their current size and loca�ons for the number of trees being planted to survive. Corroded pipes and components in the old irriga�on system may pose a risk of contamina�on to the new irriga�on water, poten�ally affec�ng plant health and safety. Maintenance to exis�ng infrastructure would prove to be cost prohibi�ve over �me compared to installing upgraded irriga�on systems. Tying new irriga�on into these aging systems could result in uneven water distribu�on, leading to overwatering in some areas and underwatering in others, affec�ng tree health and viability as well as crea�ng inefficiencies in water usage.

The
current water meters and piping do not span the en�rety of the project area where trees would be planted and would need to be updated to 2” pipes for adequate water supply. To maximize water efficiency and minimize water waste, updated water delivery will be achieved with the use of bubblers, drip irriga�on, and smart controllers with weather sta�ons. Drip irriga�on systems do not allow for overspray and runoff. Installing bubblers focuses water to the root zone to mi�gate flooding and runoff in the area as well, while installing smart sensors prevent overwatering and aid in water conserva�on efforts. Smart sensors provide water saving automa�on that saves �me and can pinpoint issues early that can make a difference between trees thriving or not. Sta�s�cs show up to 40% savings on water usage when smart sensors are installed. i. Furnish and install 2” lateral pipes by trenching and direc�onal boring (es�mate for 2200 linear foot)- $750,00

0. ii. Furni
sh and install, upgrade, and restore irriga�on systems including piping, valves, couplers, bubblers, back flows with master valve flow sensors- $96,000. iii. Upgrade exis�ng 10 water meters and relocate as needed ($25,937 each)-$259,370. iv. Furnish and Install 6 Smart-controllers with weather sta�on ($12,000 each)- $72,000. 05/27/2025

riga�on cost es�mates for items i., ii., and iv. were provided in a mee�ng that included City of Vista Traffic Engineer Husam Hasenin, Public Works Supervisor Yale Jeffery, and an outside subject mater expert Laurie Levine who is a landscape architect and cer�fied arborist.

The
cost es�mate for item iii. was provided by Vista Irriga�on District’s price list for potable and reclaimed water meters that was effec�ve 01/01/23.

Tr
ee Installa�on
f. Sit
e prep, furnish and install 125 trees, root barrier, soil amendments, and one year maintenance of trees: $142,000.

The tree installa�on budget item includes the costs associated with site prepara�on, tree selec�on, tree plan�ng, and one year of maintenance. This includes the purchase and delivery of high-quality na�ve drought resistant tree specimens, as well as the installa�on of the trees in accordance with best prac�ces such as soil amendments and root barriers. The City of Vista typically recommends the following tree species in right-of-way areas: Brisbane Box, Crape Myrtle, Fruitless Olive, Jacaranda, African Sumac, and Australian Willow. Vista recommends plan�ng these trees which will not damage or li� sidewalks, curbs, or guters. Fina l determina�on of the species of trees
planted will be made with public works Supervisor Yale Jeffery and the contracted cer�fied a rborist/landscape architect. Maintenance ac�vi�es will include water monitoring, pruning, and disease preven�on, among other tasks to promote trees that are well established and survive. i. Sit
e prepara�on (soil prep/fine grade)- $2,800
ii. Furnish & install 125, 24 Gallon, Trees w/ 24" box ($300 each)-$37,500. iii. Furnish and Install Root barrier es�mate 1620 linear feet ($10 per linear foot)-$16,200. iv. Furnish and Install Soil amendments (compost, sand, bark mulch)- $18,000. v. Furnish and Install 85 metal street tree grates for public safety along sidewalks. Tree grates can be expanded easily by using a cu�ng wheel to cut or score through the inner ring cas�ng. This can be performed on site as needed to accommodate tree growth. ($500 each)- $42,500.
vi. One-yea
r ini�al maintenance period for 125 trees- $25,000
Tr
ee installa�on costs were provided by subject mater expert Laurie Levine who is a landscape architect and cer�fied arborist.

Demographic Indicators
EJScreen is a screening tool for pre-decisional use only. It can help identify areas that may warrant additional consideration, analysis, or outreach. It does not provide a basis for decision-making, but it may help identify potential areas of EJ concern. Users should keep in mind that screening tools are subject to substantial uncertainty in their demographic and environmental data, particularly when looking at small geographic areas. Important caveats and uncertainties apply to this screening-level information, so it is essential to understand the limitations on appropriate interpretations and applications of these indicators. Please see EJScreen documentation for discussion of these issues before using reports. This screening tool does not provide data on every environmental impact and demographic factor that may be relevant to a particular location. EJScreen outputs should be supplemented with additional information and local knowledge before taking any action to address potential EJ concerns.

Supplemental Indexes
This report shows the values for environmental and demographic indicators, EJScreen indexes, and supplemental indexes. It shows environmental and demographic raw data (e.g., the estimated concentration of ozone in the air), and also shows what percentile each raw data value represents. These percentiles provide perspective on how the selected block group or buffer area compares to the entire state, EPA region, or nation. For example, if a given location is at the 95th percentile nationwide, this means that only 5 percent of the US population has a higher block group value than the average person in the location being analyzed. The years for which the data are available, and the methods used, vary across these indicators. Important caveats and uncertainties apply to this screening-level information, so it is essential to understand the limitations on appropriate interpretations and applications of these indicators.

Please see EJScreen documentation for discussion of these issues before using reports. For additional information, see: www.epa.gov/environmentaljustice.

Vista, CA 92084
RE: Proposal for Professional Services for North Santa Fe Avenue Corridor Landscape and Irrigation Project With New Pedestrian Crossing at Washington Street, CIP No. 8360 Dear Ms. Adams and Members of the Selection Committee:

The City of Vista (City) has been awarded the USDA Forest Grant funding that will help fund the installation of trees, replacement of the aging irrigation system along North Santa Fe Avenue and a new pedestrian signalized crossing at Washington Street. This project aligns with the Jusitice40 initiative, State Forest Action Plans, the Ten-Year Urban Forestry Action Plan as well as the City of Vista’s Climate Action Plan. The project will enhance the city’s urban tree canopy, provide numerous environmental benefits, improve health and well-being for the residents, promote environmental justice for underserved and disadvantaged communities, and aligns with the City’s sustainability goals. To successfully achieve the project’s objectives within budget and on schedule, the City requires a consultant team with the technical expertise, creativity, passion and experience designing in utility-dense environment. Kimley-Horn possess these qualities and will help the City succeed in this endeavor. As you review our proposal, please consider the following key bene fi
ts our team will bring:

We Are Your One-Stop Shop. Kimley-Horn takes pride in the fact that we are a multidisciplinary firm. Our San Diego office staf
fs over 140 employees, including civil engineers and landscape architects. We have given careful consideration to the composition of our team, identifying the most quali
fi
ed personnel with recent, relevant experience to be available to work with you. Our dedicated project manager Mark Araujo, PE will lead our exceptional team and will also be your day-to-day contact. Mark will be supported by Randall Kopff, PLA, CLARB—our landscape architect and deputy project manager who brings over 24 years of experience working with public sector clients—and Joe Shultz, PE, TE, who’s known industry wide for his attention to detail on pedestrian safety and transportation projects.. In addition to our in-house staff, we have partnered with CE&LST (survey) and Underground Solutions, Inc. (potholing), two subconsultants we have regularly and successfully work with over numerous years and who also have experience working on projects within the City of Vista. “Working with Randall and Joe over the years has been an incredible experience. Our synergy and communication are second to none, and we share a commitment to the highest standards of quality. Together, we consistently strive to deliver outstanding work for our clients, always pushing the boundaries of excellent client service.”– Mark Araujo, PE Proven Communication. One of Kimley-Horn’s greatest strengths is our commitment to open and effective communication throughout the life of a project. We provide regular updates during all phases, ensuring City staff always have an accurate understanding of progress and are promptly informed of any potential issues or conflicts. This level of communication allows us to adapt to changing conditions or new challenges that may arise. However, our commitment to communication extends beyond just the City staff. Our team members, having collaborated on numerous projects, have already established effective communication procedures among ourselves. This enables our various disciplines within our team to ef fi
ciently coordinate
work across all phases, minimizing potential disruptions to the workflow.

Risk Management A project involving the installation of approximately 125 trees, a new irrigation system over 1.3 miles, and a traf
fi
c signal in a densely built environment with numerous existing utilities—several of which are likely unknown— demands a team with exceptional attention to detail. This level of precision is crucial to identify potential conflicts early on to mitigate risks, ensuring the project’s success and minimizing disruptions. We understand that it is imperative to complete this project in a timely manner to meet the grant funding timelines and we are ready to hit the ground running. Our in-house multidisciplinary team will methodically tackle all project challenges. 05/27/2025

3 2. STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
Firm Profile
Kimley-Horn is a full-service engineering, planning, and environmental consulting fi
rm providing service to both public and private sector clients nationwide. Since our founding in 1967, Kimley-Horn has grown from a small group of traf fi
c
engineers and transportation planners to a
fi
rm of more than 8,400 employees
across 141 of
fi
ces nationwide, including 14 in California. Today we are one of the largest engineering, planning, and environmental consulting fi
rms in the United
States. This year, Engineering New-Record has ranked Kimley-Horn 10th of the top 500 U.S. design firms. Our continued growth and stability over the past 58 years is the direct result of our commitment to integrity and dedicated to providing quality services to our clients.

Service Areas
Kimley-Horn is a multidisciplinary firm and can offer a wide range of services in-house.

Our project manager, Mark Araujo, PE, and our technical staff are well versed in each aspect of this project. Our in-house civil, traf fi
c, and landscape
architecture teams have a long history of providing relevant roadway, traf fi
c
engineering, and landscaping services to various clients across California. Below are summaries of our experience in the services expected to be needed for this project:

ROADWAY DESIGN
Civil engineering forms the backbone of our qualifications to serve as your consulting engineer. At Kimley-Horn, we have experienced professionals in roadwa
y, utility engineering, and traf
fi
c engineering, among others. Our engineers have developed plans, speci fi
cations,
and estimates (PS&E) for more than 4,000 miles of roadway, including neighborhood streets, rural roads, interstate highways, state highways, highway interchange structures, and urban arterials. Roadway design and planning is one of the mainstays of our fi
rm’s professional practice. We
are well-equipped to address all related aspects of roadway design projects, including route corridor studies, schematic design, environmental and utility assessments, constructability, construction sequencing, and fi
nal PS&E. The City will bene
fi
t from our team’s extensive experience and
creativity, which allow us to effectively navigate the complexities of designing around crowded underground utilities and storm drain facilities. Our prompt and frequent responses ensure that any issues are swiftly addressed, providing the City with peace of mind and con fi
dence in the project’s
timely and successful completion. Additionally, our ef
fi
cient approach and understanding of grant funding will ensure that the grant objectives are met within the required timelines.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN
Kimley-Horn offers complete traffic engineering and design services in-house. We have completed thousands of traffic engineering and opera
tions projects both locally and across the U.S., ranging from major area wide signal systems involving hundreds of intersections to single intersection safety audits, designs, and analyses. Traf fi
c operations, traf
fi
c safety, and levels of service are key components in evaluating roadway networks and identifying areas for improvement as well as those warranting further study. We utilize the latest analytical tools including the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), Synchro, SimTraf
fi
c, CORSIM©, and VISSIM, to perform technical operations analyses.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
From the revitalization of community parks to the design and implementation of downtown streetscapes, we have successfully planned and implemented scores of landscape architecture projects. Kimley-Horn has a well-earned reputation for combining creative ideas, technical excellence, and client collaboration, resulting in dynamic projects that blend into their environments and become a part of the area they inhabit. Our landscape architects have a diverse range of experience from corridor plans and downtown streetscape programs to parks and recreation planning. As metropolitan urban areas continue to grow, urban design, streetscape design, and landscape architecture have become integral components of roadway and transportation system designs and infrastructure improvements in general. We understand the intricacies involved in installing landscaping and irrigation along a corridor with crowded underground facilities. Our team is well-equipped at navigating these challenges by working closely with our civil partners, ensuring that the placement of trees and irrigation systems are carefully planned to avoid conflicts with existing utilities. Our meticulous approach minimizes disruptions and ensures the successful integration of new elements into the built environment.

NORTH SANTA FE AVENUE CORRIDOR
Proposal for Professional Services for

4 IRRIGATION DESIGN
Water conservation is a focal issue in designing and maintaining landscapes in California. We recognize the need for proper irrigation design that utilizes the most recent technology in controllers, irrigation heads, micro-irrigation, and bubbler systems. Our irrigation specialists provide professional irrigation design integrated with water management solutions to meet the speci fi
c site and environmental
conditions of your project sites. Our goal is to develop a cost-effective irrigation system design that meets the accepted standards and maintenance requirements for the City. Our staff will help check that water conservation, water management, and irrigation design are wholly addressed—with a sensitivity to the environmental conditions of each site.

UTILITY COORDINATION
Every project is unique and presents its own special design challenges. However, the most frequent challenge faced on numerous projects in built-out environments are related to existing utilities. The North Santa Fe Avenue corridor ampli fi
es this challenge with the
crowded underground infrastructure. Like every challenge, Kimley-Horn believes in: (1) meticulous fi
eldwork and site assessments to document the
existing facilities, (2) using every resource available to draft the existing facilities including as-builts and utility provided facility maps, (3) drawing all utility lines and features to their true size in our plans to aid in identifying conflicts early in the design phase; (4) potholing potential conflict locations, which gives a better understanding of the precise locations and size of the existing lines; and (5) extensive coordination with the various utility companies to relocate, adjust or abandon some facilities. Our team has worked with all the utility providers on countless local projects and understand their process, which will be a bene
fi
t to project.

Team Organization
We have organized our team in a manner that delineates clear roles and reporting relationships. The organizational chart below shows the names, roles, and classi
fi
cations of key personnel and project team relationships. Our team will be led by project manager Mark Araujo, PE, who will also serve as our day-to-day contact with the City and will plan, direct, and coordinate the work for this project. Our team will serve the City from our San Diego of
fi
ce, which currently staffs 145 engineers, planners, designers, and support staff.

5 Staff Plan and Summary of Qualifications
Kimley-Horn will provide specialized service for this project in the areas of civil design, traffic signal design, landscape architecture, irrigation design,
and utility engineering and coordination. Our team has a thorough understanding of the local laws, ordinances, regulations, policies, requirements, and permitting procedures for the region. In addition, we have reviewed the grant awarded to the City and understand the requirements that need to be met and maintained to remain compliant with the grant funding. We have also partnered with two subconsultants, CE&LST and Underground Solutions Inc., to provide survey and potholing services. We have provided brief pro fi
les on our subconsultants’
capabilities below:

CE&LST
CE&LST is a private land surveying and civil engineering small business located in Solana Beach. They have extensive surveying experience working in the City under subcontract for construction surveying and staking. They are very familiar with the City mapping and benchmark network and have surveyed throughout the city on several private land development projects for over two decades.

Underground Solutions, Inc.

Underground Solutions, Inc. (USI) has been in the locating and vacuum excavation utility potholing service business since 2003. USI has been a
fi
rm believer in the use of air/vacuum excavation for positive utility identi
fi
cation. Most importantly, because air is a compressible gas, when used to break-up soil to discover a buried utility it flows around the conduit, pipe or cable when in direct contact versus cutting into it.

3. WORK PLAN
Project Understanding
We understand that the City received a USDA Forest Service grant to plant 125 trees in the median and along both sides of a 1.3 mile stretch of North Santa Fe Avenue from Vista Village Drive to West Bobier Drive. Additional City funding will be used to design and install a new midblock pedestrian crossing at East Washington Street and North Santa Fe Avenue intersection. This mid-block crossing will improve the pedestrian connection to and from the Vista Transit Center, mitigating pedestrians hazardously crossing the median at the left turn pocket in the northbound direction where there is an opening in the median.

The proposed project will remove, replace, expand and/or upgrade the existing, aging irrigation systems for the existing landscaping and proposed trees. Trees will be carefully selected using the US Forest Service resources which will also meet the City’s standards. Coordination with the City’s Project Manager and the Public Works Landscape Manager will be critical and exercised early in the design process to get consensus and alignment. We understand that modi
fi
cations to the existing median hardscape, sidewalks, landscape and irrigation will be required to achieve the goals of the grant. We will be mindful to minimize impacts to private property and maximize the preservation of mature landscaping and healthy trees. Additionally, our design will take into consideration constructability, construction costs, and long-term maintenance costs.

PROCESS
1 Research and identify existing utilities through data collection and survey 2 Locate and assess existing irrigation infrastructure
3 Review and assess condition and location of existing trees 4 Identify locations for additional trees and tree wells 5 Identify conflicts with existing facilities and pothole 6 Bring new irrigation lines to proposed trees by a navigating complex existing utility network and connecting drainage from tree wells where feasible.

We know that the project corridor is crowded with above and underground utilities including major subsurface drainage and sewer facilities. With this in mind, the placement of trees, proposed irrigation infrastructure, the mid-block crossing and traf fi
c signals will be meticulously assessed by
our experienced team. Our detailed inventory and
fi
eld analysis will include careful surveying,
fi
eld veri
fi
cations, strategic potholing and construction
risk and tolerance assessment. This will allow us to identify existing facilities we can reuse to reduce construction cost and waste.

Project Management Approach
Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA)
Since our founding, Kimley-Horn has aggressively pursued a commitment to quality for every task, deliverable, and service we provide. Recognizing the importance of careful quality control, Kimley-Horn developed a QC/QA manual that every project manager is required to know and use. We certify that our procedures result in high-quality services that satisfy your needs. There will be no learning curve relative to quality for our team. For this project, Kirk Ammerman, PE will provide quality control and assurance as well as constructability inputs by working with the project team programmatically for adherence to the City’s preferred design. Our QC/QA approach is based on the philosophy that:

Schedule/Budget Control
Kimley-Horn understands the importance of meeting the City’s schedule and is committed to completing this project on or ahead of schedule.

Our con
fi
dence in being able to meet the City’s timelines is attributed to our stringent approach to schedule control. We understand that schedule control must begin with a clear understanding of the scope of services and budget as well as the subsequent preparation of a detailed schedule that includes milestone completion dates, critical path items, and risks for interim deliverables. We maintain a detailed, integrated Management Information System (MIS), designed primarily to focus on schedule control. MIS tracks both effort and performance by recording time spent and percent of projects completed. Twice monthly, MIS produces a Project Effort Report, which shows the actual effort expended by task. This internal control allows us to make any timely adjustments reasonably necessary to maintain project schedules.

Budget control is achieved through two independent processing systems integrated into the MIS, providing a complete fi
nancial and reporting
overview of each individual task as well as the entire project. Our project managers receive detailed status reports twice a month but can also access the system and obtain real-time information on an ongoing basis. This level of tracking controls task budgets, allowing us to keep our clients fully informed of all administrative aspects of each task at a moment’s notice.

Workload Allocation
The individual members of our project team were selected using two criteria: (1) their experience with related projects, and (2) their availability to assume major technical responsibilities within this contract timeframe. In order to con fi
rm our team member’s availability, Kimley-Horn uses a
proactive management system known as “castaheads” to detail every project’s personnel needs and determine each staff person’s availability. This system forecasts our workload over a six-month period and helps to avoid work overload and shortfalls for each of fi
ce and discipline. Castaheads
help us con
fi
rm suf
fi
cient staff is available to meet your needs. By continuously matching project needs with staff availability, our castaheads system is an accurate tool for keeping our projects on schedule. Based on a review of our castaheads, our team members are readily available to serve you and are in an excellent position to commit themselves to delivering the scope of services outlined in the RFP .

Our selected multidisciplinary in-house team of Civil Engineers and Landscape Architects are excited and prepared to provide their expertise in helping the City achieve the enhancement of the social and environmental landscape of this underserved and disadvantaged community.

iii
Communication
Kimley-Horn’s professionals are experienced in both small- and large-scale projects that demand close coordination among multiple stakeholders. Our experience has shown that there really is no such thing as “over-communication.” Effective communication begins with listening to our client’s needs and objectives for each project. We mitigate and avoid potential issues by regularly con fi
rming a shared project understanding among the client’s staff and our project teams. We often use the following communications protocol, which we have employed successfully on numerous projects:
•
Kick-of
f meeting to establish the project team’s understanding of the client’s needs and objectives •
W
eekly and Bi-weekly meetings between the design team (with client participation, as needed) to discuss progress, schedule, and design issues •
Ongoing electronic communica
tion with our clients and involved subconsultants. Our
fi
rm is competent with several virtual communication
platforms, including Microsoft Teams, which we are regularly using to conduct meetings and presentations, in addition to in-person meetings for key project milestones.
•
Our communica
tion will go beyond the immediate team by including coordination with Vista Irrigation District, Vista Uni fi
ed School District, USDA

IRRIGATION NOTES

STATE OF CALIFORNIA ESTIMATED WATER USE

TOTAL WATER USE IS CALCULATED BY SUMMING THE AMOUNT OF WATER ESTIMATED FOR EACH HYDROZONE. WATER USE FOR EACH HYDROZONE IS ESTIMATED WITH THE FOLLOWING FORMULA:

EWU (HYDROZONE) = ESTIMATED WATER USE (GAL / YEAR)
ETO = REFERENCE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (INCHES / YEAR)
PF = PLANT ETO ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
HA = HYDROZONE AREA (S.F.)
.62 = CONVERSION FACTOR
IE = IRRIGATION EFFICIENCY
SLA = SPECIAL LANDSCAPE AREA (S.F.)
EWU (HYRDROZONE) = (ETO * PF * HA * .62) / (IE)

HYDROZONE A (DRIP)

ETO PF HA IE CONVERSION
