SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 25-7 AMENDING THE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BUDGET AND APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES CONTRACT WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES ON THE STONE BLVD EXTENSION PROJECT (CIP 10053) INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to adopt Resolution 25-7 amending the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget and approve a professional services contract with Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. for engineering services on the Stone Blvd Extension Project (CIP 10053) Project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution 25-7 amending the Capital Improvement Program Budget; 2) Award a professional services contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for engineering design of the Stone Blvd Extension Project;
3) Delegate authority to the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a professional services contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. on the Stone Blvd Extension Project for an amount not to exceed $1,429,906;
4) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to make contract amendments up to 10% ($143,000) of the total contract value on Stone Blvd Extension Project;
5) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or modifications to these professional services contracts, with approval from the City Attorney; and 6) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to extend the term of these contracts, if necessary.
BACKGROUND
Pioneer Bluff consists of approximately 125 acres of riverfront property situated along a one-mile stretch of South River Road. It is part of the City’s planned urban waterfront and is one of the prime riverfront redevelopment opportunities in the region. The area developed first as a regional petroleum storage hub and distribution point and subsequently expanded to include other industrial uses. The City began implementing its urban riverfront vision in the 1990s and has extended de-industrialization activities into Pioneer Bluff through relocation of the Cemex facility, decommissioning the City’s wastewater treatment plant, and construction of the Mike McGowan Bridge.
Volume 1 of the Pioneer Bluff Transition Plan was approved by City Council in December 2014 and conceptually summarized the Pioneer Bluff District’s transition processes, scope and projected costs. The Pioneer Bluff Stone Lock Reuse Master Plan, completed in June 2018, is considered as Volume II and Volume III and expanded on as well as modified some of the analysis contained in the 2014 document. As part of the transition of Pioneer Bluff from industrial uses to urban mixed-use development, a critical project identified within the master plan is to extend Stone Blvd. from the existing rail crossing at Jefferson Blvd. to South River Road, to provide the first east-west connection into Pioneer Bluff.
The extension of Stone Blvd. is contingent upon coordination with the railroad and approval to cross the existing railroad tracks at the intersection of Stone Blvd. and Jefferson Blvd. Until the design has advanced sufficiently to identify the conditions that the railroad operator will impose on the City as part of their approval process, the construction costs for this roadway extension remain unknown. This project will secure the necessary regulatory approvals and develop shovel-ready plans, which is a crucial step in identifying the funding gap for construction and developing a funding strategy for project construction. Once completed, the extension of Stone Blvd. will provide a critical multimodal network component, essential for encouraging development and growth in this highly anticipated riverfront real estate area.
10 Consideration of Adoption of Resolution 25-7 for the Stone Blvd. Extension Project (CIP 10053) January 15, 2025
ANALYSIS
Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineering Design Services for the Stone Blvd. Extension Project on OpenGov, the City’s eProcurement system. This solicitation (24-071-RFP) was issued on October 8, 2024, with proposals due by October 29, 2024. This RFP was sent out to all 1,853 vendors that were on the City’s procurement distribution system. Of the vendors contacted, only one firm, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., submitted a proposal. To encourage additional competition, the City contacted vendors that had followed the RFP to encourage the submittal of additional proposals and also notified vendors that the proposal due date would be extended to November 12, 2024. Following the close of the extended due date, Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. remains the sole proposer, and justification for sole sourcing has been met in accordance with the City’s procurement procedures.
The proposal by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was evaluated by a three-person panel in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy. Proposals were evaluated based on qualifications, proven ability, experience, and technical approach. After reviewing the consultant’s qualifications, experience, and proposed work plan, the staff selection panel determined that Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has a strong understanding of the work to be performed and is a qualified firm. The attached contract includes the negotiated scope and fees to complete the assignment.
Environmental Considerations
This action is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”), because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and, therefore, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c) and 15378(a), it is not subject to environmental review.
Environmental documentation require for the project will be conducted during the project development.
Commission Recommendation
The Stone Blvd. Extension Project is a critical project identified by the adopted Pioneer Bluff Master Plan. No policy decision requiring Transportation, Mobility and Infrastructure Commission review is required for this item.
Strategic Plan Integration
The Stone Blvd. Extension Project addresses the guiding principle of Local Economic Development of the West Sacramento Strategic Plan.
Alternatives
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above.
2) Make adjustments to the recommended actions.
3) Decline to approve recommended action or delay the project.
Alternatives 2 and 3 are not recommended because they would delay the City from catalyzing development in riverfront areas.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with and review by the Finance Department.
Budget/Cost Impact
The Stone Blvd Extension Project is included in the City’s current Capital Improvement Program as CIP 10053, with a current appropriated budget of $1,100,000 from the Measure G Community Investment Fund. To complete the environmental, design, and right-of-way phases will require an additional appropriation of $700,000, which is also proposed to be funded from Measure G funds. This would result in a total project budget of $1,800,000 which would fully fund the consultant’s scope of work, required City staff resources, project contingency and result in a shovel-ready set of construction documents. Shovel ready plans would assist in the pursuit of future grant opportunities by increasing project competitiveness, and a future appropriation for construction funding will be required once the appropriate funding strategy for construction has been developed.

RE: Proposal for Engineering Services for the Design of Stone Boulevard Extension Project; #24-071-RFP
Dear Mr. Wong and Members of the Selection Committee:
The City of West Sacramento (City) intends to develop the Stone Boulevard Extension project to provide a critical multimodal network component that would encourage development and growth in this riverfront real estate area. One of the primary challenges is the required railroad approval for the new road extension segment over an existing railroad track at the Jefferson Boulevard/Stone Boulevard intersection. Kimley-Horn offers a dedicated, multidisciplinary team with proven capabilities to meet the technical and managerial challenges of advancing railroad-involved multimodal transportation projects that minimizes footprint and impacts while addressing current environmental regulations for clearance. Our team members have been involved in the successful completion of numerous at-grade crossing and multimodal improvement projects across the state involving all phases of the project life cycle. Our success is built on developing innovative solutions, strong local partnerships that engage stakeholders, managing project risks, and indepth knowledge of the project delivery and railroad approval processes.
Our team’s project manager, Sherina Lam, P.E., QSD/P, is a professional engineer with 20 years of experience working on transportation projects of various sizes and complexity, including railroad crossings, such as the 24th Street Bridge Replacement and Rainier Avenue Cross-Town Connector.
She will be supported by Kevin Aguigui, PE, TE, EE, CSEP, on Railroad Crossing Design and Coordination, who brings his unique combination of expertise specifically on railroad at-grade crossings and his hands-on railroad preemption and traffic signal design experience. Our Environmental Lead, Alex Jewell, AICP, LEED AP, recently completed the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration with Sherina for the Adobe Road and Main Street Intersection Improvements in Sonoma County and our Lead for Utilities, Drainage and Water Quality, Tyler Whaley, PE, QSD/P, ENVSP, has experience in both public improvements and private development projects so he will understand and work with the City to balance the needs of the developing parcels with public expenditures when it comes to constructing underground facilities of an extension with planned future connections. Ravi Puttagunta, our Traffic Lead, has expertise in modeling at-grade crossing intersections for approval and is a leader in developing traffic management within constrained environments.
Sherina will work proactively with the Kimley-Horn team and subconsultant partners to allocate staffing and appropriate team members to meet project milestones and adapt to project changes. Parag Mehta, P.E., our Principal-in-Charge, is a trusted team partner who will coordinate with Sherina to make sure that she receives the appropriate support at every project phase.
The following subsections address each of the City’s required responses in the order in which they were requested.

IMPROVEMENTS, STOCKTON, CA. 2023 – ONGOING
Kimley-Horn completed the environmental clearance and is developing the final design for the bicycle and pedestrian network from the Board-adopted Boggs Tract Sustainable Transportation Plan that Kimley-Horn led in collaboration with SJCDPW, City of Stockton, Port of Stockton, Caltrans and involvement from the Boggs Tract Community that became the roadmap for the non-vehicular mobility network in the community. The plan established a shared vision for transforming a community historically isolated by highways and industrial areas into a community that is connected via multi-modal pathways to amenities, education and job opportunities, and other important local destinations to enhance the quality of life for the residents of Boggs Tract. The plan includes two key components, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure for access to key destinations such as the community center and school, and a planned greenspace within the SR 4 airspace for community gathering. The current plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) focuses on the much-needed bicycle and pedestrian improvements for enhancing the residents' quality of life and access to opportunities. In parallel, the project has submitted an ATP grant application for the construction. From planning to construction, the project phases have been delivered under the requirements of Caltrans Local Assistance.

Kimley-Horn is responsible for the preparation of an EIR, traffic analysis, and conceptual design for the new Mary Avenue Overcrossing. The overcrossing will extend from the existing terminus of Mary Avenue at Almanor Avenue, north over State Route 237 and U.S. Highway 101, to the existing intersection at 11th Avenue and Discovery Way. The EIR will evaluate four different design options that range from a four-lane Mary Avenue with sidewalks and pedestrian lanes to removing the roadway extension from the General Plan. The overcrossing will be required to have sufficient height to cross over the highways, connect to the existing VTA Light Rail station, and align with the existing intersections to create new intersections with appropriate geometries. All design options include modal design considerations. Key environmental issues include aesthetics, traffic and transportation, low impact design, and community outreach.

CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO, HSIP TRAFFIC SAFETY
PROJECT, WEST SACRAMENTO, CA
Kimley-Horn supported the City to identify traffic safety improvements through extensive review of both the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) data and the City’s crash database. In examining the crash data, a general trend of crashes was observed at signalized intersections citywide making up more than half of all collisions that occurred within the City during the study time frame. The highest collision locations were ranked by their collision frequency and severity and then the top 20 locations were reviewed in greater detail for potential improvements which would address collision trends.
In addition to the projects showcased above, Kimley-Horn is pleased to have provided consulting services to the City of West Sacramento since 2019.

The Stone Boulevard Extension Project is an exciting opportunity for the City to develop critical infrastructure that supports development of sustainable community growth in the Pioneer Bluff and Stone Lock Districts. This extension was identified as a key circulation component by the Pioneer Bluff Transition Plan and the Pioneer Bluff and Stone Lock Reuse Master Plan, and in January 2024, it was added to the City of West Sacramento General Plan (GP) 2035 Policy Document's Mobility Element Document. A California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations amendments to the Circulation Diagram in the Mobility Element was prepared in the 2024 Mobility Element that included specific goals that they City have established for their new and modified roadways. Major elements of this mobility document include more complete streets, "greening" opportunities and consideration for access to public transit.
The City's vision for Pioneer Bluff and Stone Lock is a vibrant waterfront of mixed land uses achieved through the steps of deindustrialization of the existing brownfield, repurposing the site for land development and promoting building development.
The strategy to accomplish the City’s vision aims to balance public and private interests while adding value to the Districts' real estate. Advancing the Stone Boulevard extension under Phase II of the Master Plan would be an important step in the City's efforts to provide connections to the Pioneer Bluff area. The extension would be a new access into and out of the southern Pioneer Bluff area from the east side of Jefferson Boulevard crossing the UPRR track along the westerly limits of the District.
SITE OVERVIEW
Whereas both Jefferson Boulevard and South River Road on both ends of the extension are City truck routes that allow California Legal vehicles, Stone Boulevard is not identified as a truck access route. At the locations where the new roadway connects to the existing network, Jefferson Boulevard is signalized while South River Road is not. On the east side of South River Road where the new intersection would be formed, there is an existing driveway that provides access to the City Parks Operations office, a City-owned parcel (APN 058-260-019). In fact, the City of West Sacramento own three more parcels to the north which could benefit the project when coordinating potential access modifications. There is an existing signal on South River Road approximately 200 feet south of this connection point that serves the gated access of Taylor Heavy Hauling (APN 058-260-001 and 058- 260-002) that would be impacted due to its proximity to the new intersection. See the Constraints and Opportunities Overview Exhibit on the next page for locations of above elements and discussions in this section.
MOBILITY AND MULTIMODAL CONNECTIVITY
The extended Stone Boulevard is classified as an east-west 2-lane Collector with a speed limit of 25 to 35 mph that should consists of:
• Bike lanes and parking lanes
• Sidewalks on both sides with landscaping
• An 80-foot right of way
The extension is part of a comprehensive and connected roadway network that considers the needs of all users that include pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and automobiles. According to the 2018 West Sacramento Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master Plan (2024 Update), one bicycle-vehicle involved collision occurred between 2011 and 2016. Since that time, there was one pedestrian-vehicle involved collision that resulted in fatality with pedestrian violation cited as the reason from our search of the UC Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) database. The Kimley-Horn team recognizes the emphasis the City places on connectivity and safety for pedestrian and bicycle access, especially within this area where the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail located south of this project is planned to ultimately connect with the Riverwalk Trail, Tower Bridge, Washington District and the future converted I Street Bridge that will only serve pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the Sacramento River.
According to the Reuse Master Plan Appendix S,
Mobility Network Cross-Sections, Stone Boulevard
was intended to include a parking lane adjacent to a
bike lane with one travel lane in each direction.
However, the City has provided new guidance since
the development of this plan under the Mobility
Element Document Goal M-7 where access for
people and goods movement should be prioritized
over parking. Our team will collaborate with the
City to establish a cross section that could
improve multimodal access by reconsidering
on-street parking at this time of the Pioneer
Bluff development when there are no
storefronts. We recognize that it is generally
easier to add park than remove parking.
38 City of West Sacramento | RSCASACR002789.2024 Page 14 39 City of West Sacramento | RSCASACR002789.2024 Page 15 Public Transit
While the Capitol Corridor rail service traverses through the West Sacramento, there are no stations in the City and the nearest one is the Sacramento Valley Station in downtown Sacramento. YoloBus is the local transit operator in the City. Route 37 runs Jefferson Boulevard south of the project and on Stone Boulevard to the west of the project intersection as shown on the Constraints and Opportunities Overview Exhibit. This route's key destination is downtown Sacramento where travelers have additional choices to the Bay Area via rail or direct bus (FlixBus).
The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with YoloBus to discuss future route plans, potential stop locations or relocations, and access for the extended Stone Boulevard. With a new road segment, we will support the City and YoloBus to implement design features that would foster increased transit use.
Overall, the extended Stone Boulevard and modified intersection of Jefferson Boulevard and Stone Boulevard would increase multimodal travel options to the riverfront and transit hubs.
INTERSECTIONS AND ACCESSIBILITY
As part of the design process, our traffic team, led by Ravi Puttagunta, proposes to perform an evaluation of the intersection control types for the new Stone Boulevard connection with South River Road. The intersection control types will include stopcontrolled, signal and roundabout, consistent with Mobility Element Document's Goal M-3.
The project is anticipated to impact Taylor Heavy Hauling's operations due to the need for right of way from the parcel, so we will work closely with the City in early discussions to better understand the owner's options for this land immediately post-construction which would help with identifying right of way and access impacts.
On the west side of the extension, Jefferson Boulevard is relinquished State Route 84 that serves as a 4-lane arterial with direct access to Highway U.S. (US) 50 approximate 1 mile north of the project. The existing pedestrian curb ramps and median refuges do not meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and they would be upgraded to be compliant. There is an existing Sierra Northern Railway (SERA) track that traverses from the east side of Jefferson Boulevard diagonally southwest then parallels the Barge Canal on the west side of the project. The SERA track also splits into a spur that continues to run adjacent to Jefferson Boulevard and ends approximately 1,200 feet south of the separation. A short segment was part of the abandonment authority in January 2005 and the City owns the parcel (APN 067-180- 005) 400 feet south of the intersection. Across the region, the agencies in Yolo County have developed a potential rail realignment plan that would remove the Sierra Northern Railway (SERA) segment within the project limits.
RAILROAD COORDINATION AND APPROVAL
Our team recognizes that successful delivery of this project will be how the modification of the existing traffic signal at Jefferson Boulevard/Stone Boulevard is handled, particularly the involvement and coordination with SERA and possibly Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR).
The existing signalized T-intersection consists of sidewalks on both sides of Stone Boulevard and the west side of Jefferson Boulevard with crosswalks on the west and south legs of the intersection while the active railroad track (SERA) traverses diagonally between the northeast and the southwest corners. The east leg extension would create a crossing over the existing north-south track that runs on the east side of Jefferson Boulevard. Our strategy will leverage the planned removal of existing tracks immediately adjacent to Jefferson Boulevard that currently show signs of unuse or abandonment and propose to remove the rails and ties as part of this project in order to design for the ultimate configuration of the east leg extension. This would require the placement of new automatic gates, cantilevers and traffic signal poles.
Additionally, modifications to the traffic signal phasing and the railroad preemption will be necessary. We will coordinate this effort directly with the railroad operators and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
Kevin Aguigui, our Railroad Crossing Design and Coordination Lead, not only possesses extensive railroad at-grade crossing experience, but his expertise also includes hands-on signal design requiring railroad preemption phasing and railroad equipment where he has worked extensively with the UPRR and CPUC preemption 40 City of West Sacramento | RSCASACR002789.2024 Page 16 specialists. Based on our understanding of the site and operations, our approach would be a request to modify an existing railroad crossing through the CPUC under a General Order 88-B (GO 88-B).
UTILITIES AND RIGHT OF WAY
The Reuse Master Plan included recommendations for sewer, water and drainage infrastructure for the redevelopment area. Tyler Whaley will be leading our team's efforts on utility design and working with the City to verify the master plan recommendations. He has delivered projects for both public agencies and private developers so he is able to consider utility improvements needs from both perspective that will benefit the future expansion of the districts.
In addition to the utilities under the Reuse Master Plan, our team will work with the City to install conduits for fiber optics along the new roadway for future City connection. The project will include street lighting along Stone Boulevard. Our objective is to strategically place streetlights in a pattern that accommodates the two planned intersections and minimizes rework when the two intersections are constructed.
It is our team's understanding that improvements should be limited to primarily within the Taylor Heavy Hauling parcels along the extension with impacts to the northern parcel at the intersection and the railroad corridor. Within Taylor Heavy Hauling, there are two buildings that will likely be affected and require testing for asbestos and lead paint. Ground hazardous material testing is anticipated given the industrial nature of this area.
We have partnered with two firms who are very familiar with this location, Blackburn Consulting to perform contaminant testing and ICF to support the City with tribal consultation with any ground-disturbance activities, consistent with many City public projects that involve subsurface work.

It is our assessment that the appropriate level of documentation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). Our environmental led, Alex Jewell, will partner with ICF for assessment of biological resources and cultural resources along with Assembly Bill (AB) 52 tribal consultation. The project is anticipated to incur over 2 acres of impervious new surface, as such, our team will review and incorporate low impact development (LID) elements and post-construction best management practices (BMPs) that comply with the requirements of the City and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) Phase II Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Program. A comprehensive environmental approach is described in the Technical Approach section.
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (O&M)
We understand that the City's goal is to establish the roadway network that encourages development. It is important to identify, at the early stage, the various elements of this new extension that the City would like to construct immediately, which components will be delivered by the developers, and what the short-term and long-term O&M requirements are. Items such as landscaping, trees planting and fencing should be discussed with the internal departments that include Public Works, Community Development and Parks & Recreation, so concerns, recommendations and considerations for developer responsibilities could be part of the project's design strategy. 41 Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc.

Technical Studies
Consultant will prepare the following technical studies. 45 Biological Resources
Aquatic Resources Delineation
The project area has potential to support wetland and non-wetland water bodies (aquatic resources) along the east side of the railroad alignment.
Consultant will conduct a delineation of waters of the United States (U.S.) and waters of the State to map any aquatic resources in the project area using the routine on-site determination method described in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual, incorporating supplemental guidance provided in the 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:
Arid West Region. The delineation will be conducted by two staff during the field day for the reconnaissance-level survey. Delineation of any non-wetland waters of the U.S. will be conducted in accordance with the 2008 Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High-Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States.
Consultant will delineate, map, and document the boundaries of potential waters of the U.S. be in accordance with the Sacramento District’s Minimum Standards for Acceptance of Preliminary Wetland Delineations Aquatic Resources Delineation Reports (January 2016) and the Updated Map and Drawing Standards for the South Pacific Division Regulatory Program (February 10, 2016). If any aquatic resources are identified in the project area, Consultant will compile and present the collected data in an aquatic resources delineation report in compliance with Sacramento U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) standards at the time the delineation is conducted. Consultant will submit its final report to USACE for verification with a request for a Preliminary Jurisdictional Delineation in accordance with Regulatory Guidance Letter 16-01. A copy of the submittal request will be sent to the City. Consultant will attend one (1) field meeting with USACE to verify the delineation results and respond to comments from USACE.
Biological Study
Consultant will obtain a list of federally listed species with potential to occur in the project area from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Conservation website.
Lists of special-status species from the California Natural Diversity Database and California Native Plant Society Online Database will also be obtained.
Consultant will conduct a reconnaissance-level survey in the project area to determine the potential for special-status wildlife species based on existing habitats present. Consultant will conduct a botanical survey in the project area in April of 2025 to capture the blooming periods of spring-blooming special-status plant species with potential to occur in the project area. If the area is determined to have potential for summer-blooming special-status plants, we will conduct an additional, half-day botanical survey in July.
In conjunction with the reconnaissance-level surveys, Consultant will characterize vegetation communities and map all elderberry shrubs (if present) in the project area in accordance with the USFWS 2017 Framework for Assessing Impacts to the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle.
Consultant will complete an inventory of trees that could be removed or trimmed for project construction. The City of West Sacramento tree ordinance requires a permit for trimming or 46 removal of all street trees, regardless of size, as well as native oak and heritage trees (trees with a circumference of 75 inches or more). The west end of the proposed project alignment at the intersection of Stone Boulevard and Jefferson Boulevard and along the railroad contains trees that could be protected by the ordinance. For the inventory, ICF will map, tag, identify species, and measure the diameter of all trees in the project impact limits.
Consultant’s field surveys will be conducted by one wildlife biologist and one botanist/wetland ecologist for one partial day to conduct the reconnaissance field survey and aquatic resources delineation (described above); one botanist for one partial field day to conduct one round of botanical surveys; two botanists for one partial day to conduct a second botanical survey, if necessary; and two staff for one partial field day to conduct the tree survey.
Consultant will summarize the results of the aquatic resources delineation, botanical surveys, wildlife habitat assessment, and tree inventory in a technical report. The report will include an assessment of impacts on biological resources from one build alternative and recommend mitigation measures where appropriate.
Permitting is dependent on the results of the biological surveys and can be added as an amendment once the determination is made.
Cultural Resources
Consultant will define the limit of study for cultural resources based on the engineer-provided limits of temporary and permanent ground disturbance for the build alternative, other project activities, and the proximity of potentially sensitive resources to the project footprint. The study area will define the limits of the record search, archaeological survey, built-environment survey, and CEQA analysis.
Consultant will request that the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University conduct a records search and submit its results to ICF in PDF and GIS shape files. ICF will request a search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands database. If needed, the City will contact the Yolo County Assessor to facilitate access to the building characteristic and appraisal records. ICF will conduct up to one day of archival research.
Consultant will prepare tribal consultation request letters for City review. Consultant will prepare letters to be mailed by the City to initiate AB 52 consultation with up to three (3) tribes that have requested such consultation. Consultant will participate in up to two (2) meetings with tribal representatives, and will conduct follow-up emails and phone calls to tribal representatives to help facilitate consultation, as appropriate.
It is assumed that the City will lead and keep a log of all tribal consultations under AB 52, and that the City will provide all results of AB 52 Tribal Consultation needed to inform the Tribal Cultural Resources section of the CEQA document.
Cultural Resources Survey and Inventory Report
Consultant will conduct an archaeological survey of the project study area and a review for built resources. If no archaeological resources are identified from the records search or during the 47 survey (the assumed outcome), we will document in the report the “negative” results. No supplemental documentation or subsurface investigations will be conducted and we will determine the project has no adverse effects on archaeological resources.
Based on a preliminary review of the project area, it appears that up to four properties will require evaluation or an updated evaluation for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR): the Union Pacific Railroad, two industrial properties, and the water treatment facility.
Consultant will complete three historic context statements for the evaluation of the resources and complete Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 form sets to evaluate the CRHR eligibility, summarize previous findings of significance and establish historic boundaries, and identify contributing elements and character-defining features. Additional research and mapping will be performed up to the hours provided. The information provided in the report will be written for use in the Cultural Resources section of the CEQA document.
The scope assumes that no historical resources eligible for listing will be identified as a result of the work conducted.
Hazardous Materials
Consultant will prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) that follows ASTM E1527- 21, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessment: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, to assess whether potential sources or indications of hazardous materials conditions are present within or adjacent to the project corridor.
Consultant will review published literature for geology and groundwater conditions within the project limits, available information by others, and on-line regulatory databases GeoTracker (State Water Resources Control Board) and EnviroStor (Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)) for known impacts and/or previous environmental data that exists in the project area. Consultant will research historical material that include aerial photography, maps and commercial databases for indications of sources for hazardous and/or potentially hazardous materials.
Consultant will conduct a site reconnaissance to observe current land use and indications of potential hazardous material contamination on or adjacent to the project limits.

Consultant will prepare a Phase I ESA that includes:
• General site description
• General geology, groundwater, and surface/subsurface conditions • Findings of our document reviews, owner interviews, site reconnaissance, historical evaluations, and regulatory records reviews
• Location and general extent of known or suspected contamination on or adjacent to the project limits, as applicable
• Recommendations for further investigation and analysis, if necessary 48 Air Quality (AQ)/Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
The assessment of air quality emissions will be conducted in accordance with the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District’s (YSAQMD’s) recommended methodologies set forth in the District’s Handbook for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts. The following outlines our approach:
Construction Emissions. Consultant will calculate construction emissions using the most current version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). Emissions will be calculated based on the scope of the project, applicant-provided assumptions regarding construction equipment and scheduling, and associated vehicle trips. The air pollutant emissions during construction will be compared to the YSAQMD thresholds of significance. Construction-related emissions reduction practices will be identified as necessary.
Operational Emissions. Consultant will quantify operational emissions associated with occasional worker trips and maintenance activities. Project emissions will be compared to the YSAQMD’s thresholds of significance.
Plan Consistency. Consistency of the project’s regional emissions will be evaluated against the YSAQMD’s clean air plan. The determination of Clean Air Plan consistency is primarily concerned with the long-term influence of a project on air quality in the Yolo-Solano area.
Odors. Consultant will provide a qualitative odor analysis from construction and operation of the proposed project.
GHG Reduction Plan Consistency. The GHG analysis will evaluate the project’s potential contribution to cumulative impacts environmental effects of climate change and whether the project would affect the state’s ability to achieve established GHG reduction goals. The analysis will discuss the potential global climate change impacts, the effects of GHG emissions, and GHG emissions regulations in California. The analysis will evaluate consistency with the City’s Climate Action Plan and compliance with the latest applicable policies in the Climate Action Plan, and other applicable regional/statewide GHG emissions reduction strategies such as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Scoping Plan.
No public meeting or hearing is anticipated.
Noise and Vibration
Consultant will prepare the noise and vibration assessment which will quantify both construction and operational noise levels as follows:
Existing Conditions/Regulatory Framework. Noise standards regulating noise impacts will be discussed for land uses on and adjacent to the project site. Consultant will conduct a site visit throughout the project site and short-term (i.e. ten minute) noise level measurements will be taken along the project area. The noise monitoring survey will be conducted at up to six separate locations to establish baseline noise levels in the project area.
Construction Noise. Noise impacts from construction sources will be analyzed based on the anticipated equipment to be used, length of a specific construction task, equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and percentage of time in use. The 49 construction noise impacts will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) and the frequency of occurrence at adjacent sensitive locations.
Vibration. An analysis of construction vibration impacts will be based on the Federal Transit Administration’s vibration analysis guidance. Analysis requirements will be based on the sensitivity of the area, specific construction activities, and Noise Ordinance specifications.
Operational Noise. On-site noise impacts will be assessed against the City’s Safety Element of the General Plan. Stationary noise sources will be quantitatively assessed. On- and off-site noise impacts from vehicular traffic will be assessed using the U.S. Federal Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108). The 24-hour weighted Community Noise Equivalent Levels (CNEL) will be presented in a tabular format. On-site noise generating activities will also be addressed and analyzed for potential impacts to the adjacent uses. Mitigation measures will be identified, if necessary.
Energy Impacts
Consultant will evaluate if the proposed project changes would result in energy implications of the project pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21100(b)(3) and Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines and CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2(b). These statutes and guidelines require the analysis to describe, where relevant, the wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy caused by a project. The analysis will analyze energy consumption associated with shortterm construction activities, long-term operations, and transportation related energy during construction and operation. Project energy consumption related to electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuel for vehicle trips as well as the fuel necessary for project construction will be quantified.
This analysis will be discussed in the IS/MND.
CEQA Documentation – Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) Administrative Draft IS/MND. Consultant will complete the Initial Study (IS) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15063 and IS Checklist (Appendix G) in the CEQA Guidelines and in accordance with City of West Sacramento format/procedural requirements.
The IS and environmental checklist will form the basis for the environmental analysis discussion and will provide the necessary background for determining the potential for significant environmental effects associated with the proposed project.
Each of the topics identified on the environmental assessment form contained in the State CEQA Guidelines will be evaluated to document the nature and extent of any potential environmental consequences and the need for mitigation. Many of the issue areas addressed in the IS will not have the potential for significant effects (i.e., “No Impact” or “Less than Significant Impact”) due to the type and size of the proposed project. The document will address any potential impacts under all environmental issues. The specific purpose of the analysis in the IS will be to identify all potential significant adverse environmental impacts and incorporate mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate any adverse consequences.

• Prepare appraisal scope, fees, and timing on a property-by-property basis. • Issue appraisal notices to property owners. Conduct field reviews of property issues with appraisers.
56 • Make weekly contact with appraisers to update progress. • Review appraisals for quality; request changes/additions as necessary or based on preliminary communication with the City.
All appraisals will contain the following requirements, at minimum:
• Adequate description of the physical characteristics of the property being appraised (and, in the case of a partial acquisition, an adequate description of the remaining property). • Items identified as personal property.
• Statement of location, zoning and present use, an analysis of highest and best use, a fiveyear sales history, and any known or observed encumbrances. • All relevant and reliable approaches to value consistent with established federal and federally assisted program appraisal practices. If the appraiser uses more than one approach, there is to be an analysis and reconciliation of approaches to value used that is sufficient to support the appraiser’s opinion of value. • A description of comparable sales, including a description of all relevant physical, legal, and economic factors such as parties to the transaction, source, and method of financing, and verification by a party involved in the transaction. • Statement of the value of the real property to be acquired and, for a partial acquisition, a statement of value of the damages and benefits, if any, to the remaining real property where appropriate.
• The effective date of valuation, date of appraisal, signature, and certification of the appraiser.
Appraisal fee for railroad property excludes any cost to obtain safety training that may be required by the Railroad.
Optional Standard Appraisal Reports (2). If rights are donated, an appraisal is still required unless the property owner explicitly releases the agency from their obligation to appraise the property rights. Two standard appraisal reports are included but listed as an optional service and Consultant will not appraise private properties without authorization from the City.
Acquisition and Negotiation
It is assumed that City of West Sacramento staff will conduct all acquisition/negotiation and escrow coordination activities .

- 100% (Final) Plans, Final Technical Specifications and Engineer's Opinion Of Probable Costs 59 Task 12. Traffic Analysis
Consultant will perform traffic data collection as follows:
• AM and PM peak period intersection turning movement volumes at the proposed study intersections (up to 6) during a typical midweek day (Tuesday through Thursday), non-holidays, when schools are in session
• Perform field observations on the same day the intersection counts are conducted for existing intersection performance, congestion, queue lengths, and travel patterns • 24-hour hose counts for key segments (5 locations) during the same week for entire weekdays Consultant will prepare a traffic operation analysis methodology memorandum that document the approach for traffic data collection, existing conditions, developing volumes for opening year 2030 no build and build scenarios and selection of the software that will be used for performing the operational analysis.
Consultant will utilize Synchro/SimTraffic simulation software for am and pm weekday peak hour analysis. The recommended weekday peak hours will be finalized after we review the traffic counts collected for peak period (6-9 am and 4-7 pm). The peak hour will be selected based on highest volume hour within the peak period data collected. The proposed SimTraffic simulation model is capable of capturing the field conditions to match the served volumes, intersection operations (LOS and delay) and average/95th percentile queue lengths for each movement. SimTraffic simulation software is capable of analyzing pedestrian/bike conflicts, as well as oversaturated operating conditions caused by queue spillback from downstream segments/intersections. Even though SimTraffic may not capture the railroad crossing delay, Consultant will adjust parameters in the software to portray the delays caused by train operations. After completing the existing conditions analysis, memorandum will be prepared that includes analysis assumptions, intersection turning movement volumes, heavy vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and train frequency with gate downtime during both am and pm peak periods.
After approval of the existing conditions memorandum, Consultant will use the current SACOG SACSIM Travel Demand model (TDM) for assessing the potential impacts of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) the extension will have as part of the CEQA documentation. It is anticipated that the project will not induce VMT since the new road will likely redistribute the traffic and reduce some trip distances. Consultant will prepare a VMT assessment memo as part of CEQA documentation for agency review and approval. No verification of the existing SACSIM TDM is anticipated. The Build Condition is assumed to analyze project opening year no build and build conditions. The proposed Stone Boulevard extension was approved as a General Plan update and the project focus is on the change in travel pattern within the project influence area. The proposed analysis will focus on am and pm peak hours only.
Consultant will prepare an intersection control evaluation with the opening year volumes for the South River Road/Stone Boulevard intersection to determine the appropriate type of control, which includes stop-controlled, signal or roundabout. It is anticipated that a minor street (Stone 60 Boulevard) stop-controlled intersection will suffice for the opening year. A right-in/right-out may be needed at this location to operate as a stop-controlled intersection.
Consultant will utilize the calibrated Synchro/SimTraffic simulation software to perform AM/PM weekday peak hour analysis. Consultant will input the approved volumes for opening year no build and build conditions. In the opening year analysis, we will study the proposed lane geometry that incorporates bike lanes, pedestrian crossings, separate crossing gates for vehicular and bicycle traffic, and signal timing/phasing modifications. Consultant will collaborate with the City, Railroad and CPUC regarding intersection safety and operational improvements evaluation. The memorandum will include traffic counts, existing conditions calibration, and final results. No VISSIM simulation model will be performed. Consultant will prepare a traffic operational memorandum to summarize the operational analysis results.

Building Asbestos-Containing Materials & Lead Testing (Optional) A California Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) and California Department of Public Health Certified Lead Inspector (CLI) will be retained to evaluate the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead at the existing structures. A visual assessment of each structure will be performed. ACM will be evaluated with the collection of up to 76 bulk samples analyzed by polarized light microscopy (PLM) and 160 samples analyzed by 400-point count for asbestos. Lead paint will be evaluated with the collection of up to 21 bulk paint chip samples that will be analyzed for lead by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to approve a professional services contract with Wood Rodgers, Inc. (Wood Rodgers) for Engineering Services for the North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (CIP 16013).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Find that approval of a professional services contract with Wood Rodgers is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15060(c) and 15378(a);
2) Approve a professional services contract for engineering services with Wood Rodgers for the North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (CIP 16013); 3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a professional services contract with Wood Rodgers for an amount not to exceed $614,814.72
4) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee to execute non-substantive changes or modifications to the professional services contract, with approval from the City Attorney; 5) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments up to 20% ($122,962.94) of the total contract amount; and
6) Delegate authority to the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to extend the term of the contract, if necessary, and to approve and incorporate additional tasks.
BACKGROUND
Currently, 5th Street is a four-lane, divided arterial with Class II bike facilities between C Street and Fountain Drive/Watercolor Lane. There is on-street parking on 5th Street between A Street and C Street: however, this segment has a gap in bicycle infrastructure and unsafe, unsignalized, pedestrian crossings. Additionally, there are sidewalk gaps along 5th Street and C Street.
The North 5th Street Complete Street and Connectivity Project will include a traffic analysis to review a proposed road diet and intersection safety improvements on 5th Street/Lighthouse Drive between C Street and Fountain Drive. The road diet will include enhanced Class II parking-protected bike lanes and safe pedestrian crossings on 5th Street between A Street and C Street, and on C Street between 3rd Street and 6th Street. Additionally, a proposed bike/pedestrian connection from A & 5th Street to the Riverwalk Trail will be analyzed.
The City recently completed the North Riverwalk Trail Extension, which extended the Riverwalk Trail from E Street/2nd Street to the Broderick Boat Ramp at 4th Street. The connection at 5th Street and A Street to 4th Street/Broderick Boat Ramp will provide an ADA-accessible connection to the Riverwalk Trail. The City is also in design and seeking construction funding for the I Street Bridge Deck Conversion Project, and the City of Sacramento will soon begin construction of the I Street Bridge Replacement Project. These regionally important projects may foster recreation opportunities, and it is important to develop a safe network to reach these destinations.
71 North 5th St. Complete Streets – Wood Rodgers Contract January 15, 2025
When constructed, the North 5th Street Complete Street and Connectivity Project will increase safety, close gaps in the active transportation system, and provide people of all abilities with safe connections to walk or roll to their destinations. Furthermore, this project is located entirely within an SB-535 disadvantaged community and is adjacent to several senior and low-income housing developments. The project will create a safe and low-stress active transportation network for the surrounding community, students, and visitors of all ages and abilities.
On June 28, 2023, the City was awarded a State Active Transportation (ATP) Grant under Cycle 6 in the amount of $638,000 for the Project Approval & Environmental Document (PA&ED), Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E), and Right-of-Way (ROW) phases. On March 14, 2024, the City requested a fund allocation for the PA&ED phase in the amount of $89,000. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated these funds at their May 17, 2024, meeting.
ANALYSIS
On November 5, 2024, staff issued a Request for Proposals for the North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (24-064-RFP) through the City’s online procurement system, OpenGov, to obtain proposals from engineering firms to conduct surveying, engineering reports preparation, environmental analysis and permitting, public outreach, utility coordination, right-of-way activities, PS&E, and design and support services during construction. After extended outreach, the City received two proposals from the following firms, listed in alphabetical order:
KPFF, Inc.
Wood Rodgers, Inc.
The proposals were evaluated by a three-person panel of City staff, consistent with the City’s purchasing policy.
Proposals were evaluated based on qualifications, proven ability, experience, and technical approach. After reviewing Wood Rodgers’ qualifications, experience, and proposed work plan, the staff selection panel determined that Wood Rodgers has a strong understanding of the work to be performed and is the most qualified firm. The attached contract includes the negotiated scope and fees to complete the scope.
Environmental Considerations
The current action is not subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)
Commission Recommendation
Not Applicable
Strategic Plan Integration
Not Applicable
Alternatives
The City Council may choose among the following alternatives:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above.
2) Amend the recommended actions.
3) Decline to approve the recommended actions or cancel the project.
Staff recommends Alternative 1 in order to begin the project and keep it on schedule. Alternatives 2 and 3 are not recommended because they would delay the project.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with and review by the Finance Department.
Budget/Cost Impact
This project is included in the City’s current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as CIP 16013: North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project. There are currently sufficient funds in this CIP to award the contract to Wood Rodgers. The City will award additional tasks proposed by Wood Rodgers for the ROW and PS&E phase at a later date through an amendment to complete all preconstruction phases and work. This is due to the ATP allocation schedule as only the PA&ED phase is currently authorized and allocated. Table 1 provides a 72 North 5th St. Complete Streets – Wood Rodgers Contract January 15, 2025

Wood Rodgers will conduct site visits and field reviews to verify existing geometric features, structures, drainage, signage, striping, and other features. The existing conditions observed during these site visits will be documented through photos, videos, field notes, and/or field measurements.
Task 2.2 – Traffic, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Counts
Wood Rodgers will perform 24-hour bicycle and pedestrian counts at up to three (3) locations before and after construction. Additionally, Wood Rodgers will collect average daily traffic (ADT) and speed surveys (85th percentile speeds) for one typical weekday at up to six intersections/locations. Wood Rodgers will work with the City to determine collection sites and times.
Task 2.3 – Traffic Study
A Traffic Operations Analysis will be performed for up to six (6) study intersections, with “Existing Conditions” and “Existing plus Project Conditions” scenarios evaluated.
A “No Build” and one (1) geometric road diet alternative will be evaluated.
Wood Rodgers will:
• Prepare a summary of existing conditions transportation facilities. • Prepare Cumulative Design Year traffic forecasts for the study intersections. • Prepare Synchro/SimTraffic models of the study intersections and report delays, level of service (LOS), and 95th percentile queues using HCM 6th edition or SimTraffic reports. • Perform qualitative evaluation of project effects on multimodal facilities. • Perform queuing analysis at study intersections.
• Provide recommendations related to traffic improvements.
A safety analysis of the project site will be performed. It will:
• Provide a summary of last five years (or as available) of collision data for the study area. • Evaluate the effects of the proposed geometric alternatives on safety. In particular, effects on bicycles and pedestrians will be evaluated.
• Evaluate corner sight distance per current version of AASHTO Green Book at study intersections and driveways.
Summarize the results of the traffic counts, traffic analysis, and safety analysis, an in a Traffic Operations Analysis Report (TOAR) consistent with City standards and guidelines, and as required per the permitting agencies, using appropriate tables, figures, and graphics.
Task 2.4 – Geotechnical Design / Soils Report
As a subconsultant to Wood Rodgers, Blackburn Consulting (Blackburn) will perform Geotechnical services for the project. The following scope of services to prepare a Geotechnical Report for the ADA/Bike ramp between 5th Street and the Riverwalk Trail, and an optional Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment for the entire project.
Task 2.4.1 – Background Research
Blackburn will perform the following
88 City of West Sacramento | North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (#24-064-RFP)
Page | 4
• Review preliminary project plans and discuss the project constraints, expectations and schedule with Wood Rodgers and the City of West Sacramento.
• Review readily available relevant geotechnical data for the existing levee including nearby borings and cone penetration tests (CPTs). Blackburn recently completed subsurface explorations for the WSAFCA Sacramento River West North Levee Project.
• Coordinate site access and mark hand auger boring locations for notification of Underground Service Alert (USA).
Blackburn assumes:
• That any right-of-entry agreements or permits necessary to access the site for USA and to complete our subsurface exploration will be obtained by others.
• A private utility locator is not required.
• USACE will not require a Drilling and Invasive Program Plan (DIPP) for hand auger borings.
Task 2.4.2 - Subsurface Exploration and Laboratory Testing For geotechnical design of the proposed trail improvements, Blackburn will use a hand auger to drill two to three borings to depths of 5-8 feet along the ADA/Bike ramp alignment. At selected intervals, we will obtain relatively undisturbed soil samples using a hand-driven sampler. We will also obtain bulk soil samples from the auger cuttings. Blackburn will backfill the borings with soil cuttings and/or grout upon completion. Blackburn’s engineer or geologist will log the borings and deliver the samples to our laboratory for testing.
Blackburn will perform laboratory tests on samples collected from the hand augers to include:
• Up to three moisture content/unit weight tests,
• One grain size analysis for soil classification,
• One plasticity index test for soil classification,
• One R-value
Task 2.4.3 - Analysis
We anticipate USACE will review the project plans since the project will be constructed on the existing levee.
Blackburn will perform the following to demonstrate the new ramp will not adversely affect the levee performance:
• Develop two geotechnical models of the levee. One for existing conditions and one with the proposed improvements. We will use data from our subsurface exploration and laboratory testing (see Task 2) and our nearby borings and CPT soundings (completed) for the WSAFCA Sacramento River West North Levee project to construct a representative cross section at the trail site. • Evaluate stability for existing and post trail construction conditions. Analysis will include static and rapid draw down conditions.
• Perform a seepage analysis to compare existing and post trail construction conditions for a 200-year water surface elevation.
• Evaluate backward erosion piping originating from the access ramp. • Evaluate settlement from addition of any anticipated fill needed to construct the ramp.
Task 2.4.4 - Draft and Final Geotechnical Report
Blackburn will perform engineering analysis as necessary and prepare a Draft and Final Geotechnical Report for the project containing:
• Project and site description.
89 City of West Sacramento | North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (#24-064-RFP)
Page | 5
• Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions.
• Laboratory testing.
• Expansive soil considerations.
• Discussion of assumptions, soil properties, and evaluations completed for Task 3 and potential project impacts to the existing levee performance (if any).
• Grading recommendations for site clearing and overexcavation (if necessary), subgrade preparation, fill quality and compaction and over-optimum soil moisture considerations/mitigation. • Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement design recommendations for the trail and connector improvements for traffic indexes provided by others.
• Risk management and limitations.
• Vicinity map.
• Site plan.
• Appendices containing the hand auger boring logs and laboratory test data.
Note that Blackburn’s scope of services does not include liquefaction or seismic lateral spreading evaluation. We can provide these services if requested for an additional scope/fee.
Task 2.4.5 – Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
If approved, Blackburn will prepare an ESA for the entire project. The ESA will follow ASTM E1527-21 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessment: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process to assess whether potential sources or indications of hazardous materials conditions are present within or adjacent to the project corridor. Blackburn will perform the following scope of services to prepare the ESA. • Review published literature for geology and groundwater conditions within the Project limits. • Review title information, as available (e.g., title report or chain of title provided by others). • Review on-line regulatory databases GeoTracker (State Water Resources Control Board) and EnviroStor (Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)) for known impacts and/or previous environmental data that exists for the Project area.
• Conduct a site reconnaissance to observe current land use and indications of potential hazardous material contamination on or adjacent to the Project limits. This includes documentation of areas showing evidence of surface staining, storage, dumping, handling, and mixing areas for hazardous materials (such as pesticides and fuel products), and apparent locations of fuel tanks and wells. • Review historical aerial photography, topographic maps, and Sanborn Maps covering the Project limits and surrounding areas for indications of sources for potential contamination. • Review a commercial database including federal, state, and county records for indications of the use, misuse, or storage of hazardous and/or potentially hazardous materials on or near the Project limits. • Based on historical research, attempt to identify past and present operations conducted on or adjacent to the Project limits to assess the potential for hazardous material impacts.
Prepare an ESA report that includes:
• General site description.
• General geology, groundwater, and surface/subsurface conditions. • Findings of our document reviews, owner interviews, site reconnaissance, historical evaluations, and regulatory records reviews.
• Location and general extent of known or suspected contamination on or adjacent to the Project limits, as applicable.
90 City of West Sacramento | North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (#24-064-RFP)
Page | 6
• Recommendations for further investigation and analysis, if necessary. • Limitations of the report.
• Vicinity and site maps.
Before starting the ESA, Blackburn needs any required rights-of-entry to private parcels if public access is not available.
Task 2.4 Assumptions:
1. The City will assist in obtaining any right-of-entry agreements or permits necessary to access the site for USA and to complete our subsurface exploration.
2. Wood Rodgers will coordinate with private property owners to determine if any private utilities are known.
3. USACE will not require a Drilling Program Plan (DPP) based on our preliminary discussions with them regarding our proposed subsurface exploration program below.
4. Scope of services does not include liquefaction or seismic lateral spreading evaluation, or slope stability/seepage evaluation for the existing levee (river bank). We can provide these services if requested for an additional scope/fee.
Task 2 Deliverables:
• Traffic Counts
• One (1) Draft Traffic Operations Analysis Report (PDF Format) • One (1) Final Traffic Operations Analysis Report (PDF Format) • One (1) Draft Geotechnical Report (PDF Format)
• One (1) Final Geotechnical Report (PDF Format)
Task 3 - Environmental Documentation
Wood Rodgers will identify any additional supporting documentation needs and preparing and submitting the documents to the respective agencies. We will lead efforts in investigating, preparing documentation, and permits associated tribal, cultural, and historic preservation matters. We will prepare required permit applications unless otherwise prepared by the City. All permitting fees will be paid by the City. Additionally, WR will coordinate with ECORP and ensure all necessary cultural resource and tribal consultation documents are included in any permitting applications.
Task 3.1 - Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form
Wood Rodgers will prepare and submit a draft Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) to be reviewed by the City prior to submitting to Caltrans Local Assistance. The PES Form will function as an environmental scoping document outlining the environmental technical studies required, the level of NEPA document for the project, and what environmental permits are necessary. Wood Rodgers will provide an electronic version and one administrative draft version to the City and Caltrans for review and comment. Upon receipt of comments, Wood Rodgers will incorporate necessary revisions and submit one final version.
Task 3.2 – Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts)
Wood Rodgers will conduct fieldwork in order to assess the presence/absence of sensitive biological resources (e.g., species or habitats), or to determine the potential for occurrence of such resources that may not be detectable when the fieldwork is conducted. In addition, literature research will be conducted to determine the potential for sensitive 91 City of West Sacramento | North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (#24-064-RFP)
Page | 7
plant and animal species in the Project area. The location of any sensitive biological resources present on site, including plants and plant communities, will be mapped. Based on experience with the North Riverwalk Extension Project, the key concern will be identifying elderberry shrubs that may provide suitable habitat for the for the federally threatened Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle. If any elderberry shrubs are present, Wood Rodgers will avoid where feasible; however, the biological resources report will be prepared to support Section 7 Consultation between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should impacts to elderberry shrubs and/or beetles be unavoidable.
Wood Rodgers will prepare a Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts) which will include a description of the field methods used and the assessment of the Project area. The NESMI will list the plant and animal species present, as well as a general description of the plant communities occurring within the Project area. If any sensitive resources are found on the site, a graphic will be included with the Report displaying the location of the sensitive plant communities on site and any sensitive biological resources observed. Mitigation measures for potential impacts to sensitive species will be included as necessary. This document will be prepared in the Caltrans format in support of the NEPA document they approve; however, it will also be used to support the Army Corps 408 permit review and ensuring the project is consistent with all Endangered Species Act requirements.
Task 3.3 – Historic Resources Survey Report/Archaeological Survey Report Wood Rodgers’ Subconsultant ECORP will prepare a Historic Resources Survey Report and Archaeological Survey Report to identify archaeological or historic cultural resources in the area and to evaluate the potential impact that the Project might have on these resources. This report will be prepared in compliance with Public Resources Code 15064.5, determining the significance of impacts to archeological and historical resources. Where feasible, this effort will build off of prior analysis provided in the Bridge District Master Plan EIR and Supplemental EIR. If any resources are identified, they will be evaluated to determine if they meet any qualified criteria for eligibility on the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historical Resources.
ECORP will complete an intensive field survey of the Project Area using pedestrian transects spaced 10 to 15 meters apart, where possible. ECORP archaeologists will closely examine the Project Area for surface evidence of cultural materials, including pre-contact and historic-period (i.e., older than 50 years of age) cultural deposits and features. If any resources are identified in the Project Area, they will be documented and mapped in detail in accordance with the standards of the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). ECORP assumes that there will be no cultural resources to be recorded during the survey, and that no Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) will be required.
A cultural records search will be conducted through the Northwest Information Center in Sacramento, which serves the Yolo County area under the California Historical Resources Information System. As part of this effort, a list of Native American groups in the area will be requested from the Native American Heritage Commission. With City approval, ECORP will contact each tribe via certified mail. After 30 days, a follow–up will be made via telephone with those groups that have not responded to the initial letter. All Native American consultation efforts will be documented pursuant to Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) under CEQA. The Historic Property Survey Report will be prepared in the Caltrans format and will be used to support NEPA, CEQA, and the federal requirements under Section 106.
This document will also be used by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) during the 408 Permit coordination.
Task 3.3 Assumptions:
1. The City will be responsible for tribal consultation and preparation of tribal documents. 92 City of West Sacramento | North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (#24-064-RFP)
Page | 8
Task 3.4 – CEQA Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Wood Rodgers will prepare a draft Initial Study with proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for City review and comment. An Initial Study is suggested since a road diet is included in the scope of work and may not be eligible for a Categorical Exemption under CEQA. Once the draft IS/MND has been approved by the City, it will be circulated for public review for a period of 30 days. The IS/MND has a critical objective of providing a means by which the public and responsible agencies can participate in the environmental process by providing written comments on issues addressed in the IS/MND. Wood Rodgers will coordinate the preparation of the distribution list with the City, and pursuant to CEQA requirements, Wood Rodgers will also prepare a Notice of Availability/Notice of Intent for the Draft IS/MND. This notice, along with the draft environmental document, will be made available at the appropriate City office, County Clerk, and a local newspaper or distribution list of local property owners during the 30-day public circulation and review period. In addition, the document will be distributed to other reviewing government agencies through the California State Clearinghouse. Wood Rodgers will facilitate preparation of all hard copies, electronic copies, public notices, and directly mailers to ensure the public circulation period is noticed pursuant to CEQA requirements. All comments received during this period will be recorded for inclusion in the final environmental document.
Following public circulation of the Draft IS/MND, Wood Rodgers will review and coordinate with the City to prepare written responses to any comments received. All comments and written responses will be included within the Final IS/MND as an Appendix. Wood Rodgers will prepare a Final IS/MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for City final review and approval.
To complete the CEQA process, Wood Rodgers will prepare and file a Notice of Determination (NOD) with the Yolo County Recorder's Office and the Office of Planning and Research State Clearinghouse within 5 days of the City’s approval of the Final IS/MND and MMRP (pursuant to CEQA guidelines). This scope of work assumes the City will provide payment for the CEQA filing fee at the time the Notice of Determination is filed.
Task 3 Deliverables:

Wood Rodgers will provide all environmental studies, documentation, and resources needed in support of the CVFPB Encroachment Permit application. Wood Rodgers will also provide early coordination with the USACE 408 Division to 93 City of West Sacramento | North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (#24-064-RFP)
Page | 9
ensure that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review will adequately support the 408 permit requirements. Wood Rodgers will provide as-needed environmental support throughout the CVFPB and 408 permit reviews.
Acquisition of a CVFPB Encroachment Permit can be a very lengthy task (between one and two years from the time of application submittal). Wood Rodgers will complete pre-application coordination with CVFPB and USACE early during the 30% design in order to introduce the project to the two key agencies with permitting authority over the project and to address any concerns they may have for the project design early in the project development process, in order to streamline the agencies’ issuance of permits.
As a federal agency, USACE is required to complete an evaluation of their permitting action in compliance with NEPA.
Wood Rodgers will use our understanding of the federal process and the way federal agencies coordinate to save the City substantial project development costs as well as eliminate the potential for expensive delays in the permit approval process.
Task 4.2 - West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency Coordination and Permit Wood Rodgers will coordinate with the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA) with regards to WSAFCA's obligations to oversee and protect the levees within Reclamation District (RD ) 900 and RD537. Wood Rodgers will prepare any permit applications required and will provide as-needed support throughout the permit review and authorization process.
Task 4.3 – Right of Way Acquisition and Certification
In order to successfully complete the project’s proposed improvements, it may be necessary for property rights to be acquired from up to 3 privately owned parcels. Monument will work closely with Wood Rodgers and the City to ensure that all potential property impacts are analyzed, and any required property rights are successfully acquired.
All services will be performed in accordance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, including: the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (49 CFR Part 24), as amended; the Caltrans Right-of-Way Manual; the Real Property Acquisition Guidelines (Title 25, California Code of Regulations); and the City’s own policies and procedures.
Task 4.3.1 - Right of Way Supporting During Design and Environmental Phases Monument understands that a right-of-way cost estimate will be required at the PID phase. At this phase, up to two build alternatives will be under consideration.
Monument will review any right-of-way analysis prepared during prior phases (including feasibility studies, funding applications, etc.) and coordinate with the design team to identify potential right-of-way acquisitions resulting from updated designs. Additionally, Monument will update information about existing conditions including ownership, land use, tenants, and existing encumbrances on affected properties (where available). This will help the design team identify and potentially avoid costly or long-lead acquisitions where possible.
The specific steps Monument will take to determine impacts and estimate costs are as follows:
• Perform a GIS analysis to determine properties potentially affected by each proposed alternative using alignment data prepared by the design team
• Use publicly available data and other real estate resources to confirm the ownership, land use, zoning, lot size, and improvements for each affected property
94 City of West Sacramento | North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (#24-064-RFP)
Page | 10
• Calculate the fee and/or easement area that will need to be acquired for each impacted property using design data and assessor boundary information
• Perform a desktop inspection of properties to confirm the probable acquisition type (full, partial, temporary, etc.) including identifying existing uses to be relocated (if any). • Estimate the total capital cost of acquisition for all parcels including real estate costs, relocation assistance, severance damages, loss of goodwill, fixtures and equipment, demolition and clearance • Estimate the total support cost for all parcels including appraisal fees, condemnation costs, title and escrow fees, environmental fees, and consultant fees as necessary • Escalate costs to anticipated right-of-way acquisition date • Document proposed acquisitions and resulting costs in a K Phase Conceptual Cost Estimate Form (Caltrans Exhibit 4-EX-8) for each alternative.
• Update and finalize the Cost Estimate Form based on feedback from the Wood Rogers team and the City.
Task 4.3.2 Assumptions:
1. Cost estimates will be prepared for a maximum of 2 build alternatives
2. Design team will document proposed right-of-way acquisitions in PDF exhibits and calculate the area of proposed fee acquisitions and easements.
3. Design and environmental teams will be available to review proposed right-of-way impacts and answer questions (assumes 1 review meeting)
4. Assumes right-of-way estimates will require a maximum of 2 revisions based on design team and City comments.
Task 4.3.2 - Right-of-Way Data Sheets
Once designs have advanced, right-of-way cost estimates will need to be updated for inclusion with the Project Report. Monument will review updated plans with the design team, identify any newly impacted properties (or properties no longer impacted), and update the estimates prepared at the PID phase to reflect the advanced design.
Estimates prepared at this phase will also take into consideration refined temporary construction easement areas, construction laydown areas, and other similar project elements that will have been identified in the PA&ED level design. Monument will prepare a Right-of-Way Data Sheet for review and comment by the design team and the City.
Monument will update the Data Sheets based on feedback from the project team and submit final Data Sheets to be submitted with the Project Report.
Task 4.3.2 Assumptions:
1. Data Sheets will be prepared for a maximum of 2 build alternatives
2. Design team will document proposed right-of-way acquisitions in PDF exhibits and calculate the area of proposed fee acquisitions and easements, including TCEs.
3. Design and environmental teams will be available to review proposed right-of-way impacts and answer questions (assumes 1 review meeting)
4. Assumes right-of-way estimates will require a maximum of 2 revisions based on design team and City comments.
Task 4.3.3 - Appraisals
All appraisals and appraisal reviews for the acquisition of real property will be prepared in accordance with the 49 CFR Part 24 and with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). A single “self-contained” 95 City of West Sacramento | North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (#24-064-RFP)
Page | 11
appraisal report will be prepared for each property acquisition that will contain relevant project-related data, subject property information, market comparables, and an analysis of the appraiser’s value conclusions.
During the appraisal process, Monument will be responsible for the following procedures:
• Prepare appraisal scope, fees, and timing on a property-by-property basis. • Issue appraisal notices to property owners. Conduct field reviews of property issues with appraisers. • Make weekly contact with appraisers to update progress. • Review appraisals for quality; request changes/additions as necessary or based on preliminary communication with the City. Complete memo indicating appraisal received and forwarding for review.

* Fiscal period is annual one year applicable accounting period that the ICR was developed (not the contract period). The ICR is based on the consultant’s one-year applicable accounting period for which financial statements are regularly prepared by the consultant.
I have reviewed the proposal to establish an ICR(s) for the fiscal period as specified above and have determined to the best of my knowledge and belief that:
• All costs included in the cost proposal to establish the ICR(s) are allowable in accordance with the cost principles of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapter 1, Part 31 (48 CFR Part 31).
• The cost proposal does not include any costs which are expressly unallowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR Part 31.
• The accounting treatment and billing of prevailing wage delta costs are consistent with our prevailing wage policy as either direct labor, indirect costs, or other direct costs on all federally-funded A&E Consultant Contracts.
• All known material transactions or events that have occurred subsequent to year-end affecting the consultant’s ownership, organization, and indirect cost rates have been disclosed as of the date of this certification.
I am providing the required and applicable documents as instructed on the Financial Document Review Request form.
Financial Management System:
Our labor charging, job costing, and accounting systems meet the standards for financial reporting, accounting records, and internal control adequate to demonstrate that costs claimed have been incurred, appropriately accounted for, are allocable to the contract, and comply with the federal requirements as set forth in Title 23 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 112(b)(2); 48 CFR Part 31.201-2(d); 23 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 172.11(a)(2); and all applicable state and federal rules and regulations.
Our financial management system has the following attributes:

I also understand that failure to comply with 48 CFR Part 16.301-3 or knowingly charge unallowable costs to Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) contracts may result in possible penalties and sanctions as provided by the following:
• Sanctions and Penalties - 23 CFR Part 172.11(c)(4)
• False Claims Act - Title 31 U.S.C. Sections 3729-3733 • Statements or entries generally - Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 • Major Fraud Act - Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1031

This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the # of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year.
An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the # of years is not acceptable. (i.e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs = $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology).
This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted.
Calculations for anticipated salary escalation must be provided. 115

Direct Labor Subtotal before Escalation
Estimated total of Direct Labor Salary Increase
This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the # of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year.
An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the # of years is not acceptable. (i.e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs = $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology).
This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted.
