The CNS Team has invested time to carefully review and research all aspects of the project scope. All key project issues and corresponding technical approach are thoroughly discussed in this work proposal. The assembled team has prior experience coordinating complex public works projects. A key to the success of project delivery is not only in the delivery of a technically sophisticated assignment, but in addressing the full scope of services in how they relate to the City of La Quinta and its residents. Therefore, the CNS Team has been dutifully drawn together to provide the best product for the City of La Quinta. We understand the importance of local participation on the project. As such, we have included the following local firms in the Valley on our team of five sub -consultants for this project: ✓ Terra Nova Planning & Research, Inc. — NEPA/CEQA Documentation ✓ Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc. — Geotechnical Investigations ✓ Overland, Pacific and Cutler, Inc. — Utility Relocation and Right of Way Activities Leading our Team is Project Manager, James Lu, P.E., S.E.

CNS team partners have been working closely with the City of La Quinta on various street improvements and planning projects including City General Plan Update. We have participated in similar low water crossing replacement projects in the Coachella Valley for the past few years. We understand that the proposed project is funded by the federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP). Federal funds such as the HBP funds are administrated by Caltrans Local Assistance. As such, familiarity with Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures, Caltrans environmental review and approval process, regulatory permitting especially securing USACE Section 404 Permit, RWQCB Section 401 Certification, CDFW Section 1602 Agreement and Cal -OSHA Mining Permit is a must to successfully deliver the projects. Key personnel of CNS Team are professionally trained, experienced and are well known to the City and Caltrans in similar kind of work. CNS has participated on many major river crossing projects in Southern California, especially in Coachella Valley, for the past ten years. As a prime consultant, CNS not only knows bridge design but also has hands-on program management experience in assisting local agencies in securing federal HBP funds. CNS also provides technical supports for preparation of Request for Authorization (RFA) and Request for Change of Project Scope/Cost/Schedule documents in various phases of the project. As described in the "Project Experiences and References" of this section, CNS has been involved in more than seven major river crossing projects recently. The involved bridges range from 450 to 2,300 feet in length spanning over Whitewater River, Los Angeles River or Santa Ana River. The total project cost ranges from $12 to $90 million. Five specialty sub -consultants with hefty resources to provide a wide variety of professional engineering and environmental services were assembled to form a cohesive team based on their excellent reputation of delivering quality work; work experiences with City of La Quinta; ability to rapidly mobilize staff; familiarity with local environmental constraints in the Coachella Valley; and knowledge of funding requirements including extensive experience working with Caltrans District 8.

The project is to replace the existing 4-lane low water crossing with a 4-lane 19-span 2,300-foot long bridge. The existing low water crossing is frequently flooded during winter wet seasons. Construction of this bridge will improve traffic circulation and enhance public safety by providing emergency access NO across the river during floods. The bridge is likely to be one of the longest bridges in the Inland Empire. i 1' I IMF. This project is in an environmentally sensitive area which habitats federally listed endangered plant and animal species such as Coachella Valley Milk Vetch and Fringe -toed Lizard. The challenges of the project include minimizing environmental impacts to reduce the required mitigations; relocation of the 115KV SCE overhead power lines and up to 26 power poles; and right of way engineering that requires a close coordination with Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians for construction easements to accommodate channel improvements on allotted Indian Reservation Lands. The Whitewater River hydraulic characteristics vary significantly within the project reach. Upstream of the bridge, the channel is spread across spans up to 5000 feet wide while it narrows down to about 1000 feet at the downstream end of the project. Combined with this variation and the skewed channel flow of up to 39 degrees have posed a unique challenge in determining floodplain characteristics and hydraulic design parameters of the bridge. In addition, the river is under the jurisdictions of two different flood control agencies, RCFCD and CVWD, requiring two different sets of standards. The structure will be designed to accommodate RCFCD Qloo of 47,000 cfs and CVWD SPF of 88,000 cfs. The project is in PA&ED phase scheduled for the environmental clearance by the June 2015. The PS&E phase will follow after the environmental clearance.

Major portion of the project includes widening of the Ramon Road Bridge at the Whitewater River. The widened bridge will accommodate 6 through lanes, two eastbound left -turn lanes, shoulders, bike _ lanes, and sidewalks. The existing bridge is 1,143 feet long, and consists of 15 spans of precast concrete I -girders and 14 pier walls. Several pier footings have been exposed due to the scour. The project is along the border between City of Palm Springs and City of Cathedral City. Therefore, coordination with both cities in every step of design is crucial to meet requirements of both the cities. City of Palm Springs is the lead agency for the project. CNS completed the planning study and preparation of a HBP funding document in 2009, and is currently leading the PA&ED phase of the project. Critical issues of the project include relocation of 6 power poles and existing inadequate freeboard under the bridge for the design flows. Planning of construction phasing in order to keep the traffic flow continue during construction is also a key requirement of the project. The right of way engineering requires a close coordination with Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians for construction easements to accommodate channel improvements on allotted Indian Reservation Lands. The expected CEQA/NEPA document is IS/EA leading to the determination of MND/FONSI. The Whitewater River is under the jurisdictions of RCFCD and CVWD calling for two different sets of requirements. The structure will be designed to accommodate RCFCD Qloo of 47,000 cfs and CVWD SPF of 88,000 cfs. A scour countermeasure of reinforced concrete apron is proposed to protect the existing exposed footings. The project is in PA&ED phase scheduled for the environmental clearance by the June of 2014. The PS&E phase will follow after the environmental clearance.

City of Cathedral City, CA PROJECT DESCRIPTION zw.wqVW. nwo.w w.. As a prime consultant responsible for project management and bridge design, CNS is leading the PA&ED and PS&E phases of the river crossing project that is funded by the federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds. The project involves replacing the existing low water crossing with a new 600 foot long bridge. The environmental document is IS/CE which leads to MND/CE. The right of way engineering requires close coordination with Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for construction easements to accommodate channel improvements on Allotted Indian Reservation Lands. The proposed bridge will be designed to accommodate RCFCD's 100-Year Flood (47,000 cfs) with a 3-foot freeboard, and CVWD's Standard Project Flood (88,000 cfs) with one -foot freeboard. To convey the design flows without significantly raising the roadway profile that will negatively impact the access driveways at the bridge approaches, an unique hydraulic drop structure is proposed upstream of the bridge to lower the water surface by approximately 8 feet at the bridge. The proposed bridge consists of five spans and four pier walls. The project has secured an environmental clearance of NEPA CE from Caltrans District 8 in 2011. The project is in 65% PS&E and right-of-way acquisition involving environmental mitigation. The project is expected to go into construction in 2015 or 2016.

The road consists of the last low water crossing at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel in the City. During even minor rain events (2-year frequency), the existing low water crossing is inundated with flood waters making the road impassable for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. As a result access to the surrounding businesses, the La Quinta High School and the nearby residential properties are impacted. In order to provide the public with safe year-round access, the City of La Quinta Dune Palms Road Low Water has determined that it is necessary to replace the low water Crossing is the last crossing to be crossing with an all-weather access bridge. We understand replaced with a new bridge in City of that the proposed new bridge will include four travelled lanes La Quinta. with a center median, combination golf cart/bike lane shoulders, and a sidewalk on both sides of the bridge, as well as bridge lighting and roadway drainage improvements. The bridge railings shall be similar to the railings on the Jefferson Street Bridge, which has been generally adopted by the City as a standard architectural model. The project will also include modification to the channel to provide for slope stabilization to mitigate scour, and construction of a bench under the bridge crossing to connect to the future recreational CV Link Trail on the levee(s). Within the project area, the low water crossing itself consists of 3 lanes although its roadway pavement is wide enough to be striped for 4 lanes. The north approach between Blackhawk Way and the low water crossing has two lanes while the south approach between Highway 111 and the low water crossing has 3 lanes. The City has already completed the design of street improvements to widen the north approach to 4 lanes. As such, the proposed low water crossing replacement with a new bridge essentially provides a vital traffic gap closure to complete a 4- lane arterial. Complications of a low water crossing in an urban setting are listed below: ✓ A flooded roadbed in the channel poses not only a safety threat to pedestrians, motorists and bikers, but also a liability concern to the city; ✓ Costly repair of frequent damages and extensive cleanup of silt and debris from flooding is a heavy financial burden to the city; ✓ Temporary closure of the low water crossing in storm events adversely impacts the traffic circulation system including access of emergency vehicles; ✓ The vertical geometric alignment within the channel has a short stopping sight distance that only accommodates a low speed of approximately 25 MPH. This roadway deficiency poses a safety concern for speeding vehicles. Project Funding The proposed project is funded by the federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP), which is a safety program administrated by Caltrans Local Assistance. Although the programming and project administration matters will be handled by the City, the design consultant shall be familiar with Dune /alms Road Low Water Crossing Replarement at Coachella Valley Storm Mater Channel Page B-1 Section Z — %�r ject Unt%rstant%in,9 � �P�roach local assistance procedures to ensure that the participating cost of all project elements is maximized and reimbursed by Caltrans. For example, the original funding document identified the project limits beyond 200 feet from the bridge abutment is non HBP-participating. However based on our previous and current project experiences, the project cost for a new bridge within the reasonable and attainable profile "touchdown" limits can be fully reimbursed with appropriate justifications. CNS Team has four on -going HBP-funded bridge projects in the Coachella Valley. In addition, our project manager used to work for Caltrans Local Assistance as a HBP project coordinator. We are well qualified and experienced to assist the City in preparing all required supplemental funding documents to request change of the project scope, cost and schedule in all phases (Preliminary Engineering, Right of Way and Construction) if it is deemed needed during the project development. Engineering Issues and Approach Due to the widening of the roadway and bridge construction, there may be impacts to the Dune Palms Mobile Estates that will need to be mitigated. Additionally, roadway improvements near the Corporate Centre Drive may require coordination with the adjacent property owners to allow for traffic detouring. In the process of preparing this proposal, we conducted a detailed investigation of the project site to establish the critical issues and our approach to that work. All of our preliminary work was used to identify the following critical issues and develop our approach and scope of services. Critical issues for the proposed project are: ✓ Impacts to Right of Way ✓ Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Hydraulics ✓ Utility Location and Relocation ✓ Construction Staging and Traffic Impacts ✓ Bridge Structure Summary of potential key issues are illustrated in the attached Exhibit C-1. Impacts to Right of Way In reviewing the ultimate geometrics for the bridge and - roadway alignment, it was noted that there are several encroachments into the right of way within the boundaries of the Dune Palms Mobile Estates (DPME). It will be critical for the project to consider all engineering design options to minimize impacts to the DPME as this could have dramatic cost impacts to the project. Our approach to this issue will - include preparing multiple options for roadway geometrics Two structures within the Dune that analyze the impacts and associated costs versus a reduced palms Mobile instates may be roadway section or approach length. Based on the federal impacted. HBP guidelines, the proposed project shall only accommodate minimal approach lengths within reasonable and attainable touchdown points. In preparing our proposal we have noted that there are a minimum of two structures impacted by the ultimate right of way along with other utilities. Dune Balms RoWLow Water Crossing Replacement at Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Page B-2 Section 2 — / r feet Unt%rstanetu 9 Approach Our results will be summarized in a report and presented to the City so that a preferred alignment can be chosen. It is assumed that various interests, including fee simple, permanent slope, and/or temporary easements, will be needed from three (3) separate parcels. APN OWNER 600-010-009 CVCWD USE I LOT SIZE Flood Control Channel . 47.18 Ac. 600-030-010 Chin FamilyPro Ltd PartnershipMobile Home Park with SFR. 11.29 Ac. 600-030-018 DWCG1 Vacant Commercial 18.92 Ac. It is anticipated that various permanent slope and temporary easements will be required from the flood control parcel (APN 600-010-009) in order to accommodate the new bridge, as well as all proposed channel improvements such as slope protections and cutoff walls. The maintaining of thorough, proactive, and consistent communications with the Coachella Valley Water District and the City of La Quinta will be crucial to avoiding any delays in acquiring all necessary interests. Impacts to the mobile home park (APN 600-030-010) at the northeast corner of the existing low water crossing may prove complicated. It appears that the raised profile of the new bridge, as well as the proposed bridge approach roadway improvements will impact the mobile home park, that two structures immediately adjacent to Dune Palms Road will be directly impacted due to loss of adequate access. One structure is a mobile home coach, while the other is a single family home. Separate appraisal reports will be completed for each structure, as well as for the impacted parcel. It is assumed that the single family home and the right of way required from the parcel will be negotiated together with a single owner. A separate acquisition case will be opened for the owners of the impacted mobile home coach. As such, occupants of both structures will necessarily require displacement and relocation assistance, which our team partner OPC will manage and facilitate. Because of the relative complexity of the impacts to this parcel, careful management of multiple appraisal activities, and close communication with several interested parties, will be of utmost importance. Lastly, it is anticipated that additional right of way will be required from the parcel at the southeast corner of the low water crossing (APN 600-030-018). This is a vacant commercial property that will likely require relatively simple negotiations with a single owner. In addition to the impacts to the Dune Palms Mobile Estates (DPME) and existing utilities, there are several other impacts to the ultimate right of way that are critical to the Project. We have noted that both the horizontal and vertical design could impact the J. Paul Building Business Park (APN 600-030-021) located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Dune Palms Road and Corporate Centre Drive. This could require the use of retaining walls to avoid impacts. Similar impacts could exist for the La Quinta High School property (APN 600- 010-004). Additionally, the project will need to be coordinated with CV Link Project currently under design by the Coachella A retaining wall may be required to eliminate impacts to the J. Paul Building Business Park.

Our approach to this issue will be to prepare an analysis of all impacts similar to that for the DPME and develop the preferred project with the City considering all the opportunities. Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Hydraulics The Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel (aka Whitewater River upstream of Washington Street) serves as a natural flood conveyance system for the Mount San Gorgonio and San Bernardino Mountains and traverse approximately 60 miles in a southeasterly direction through the Coachella Valley to the Salton Sea. The reach of the Channel immediately upstream and downstream of the existing Dune Palms Drive low water crossing consists of an earthen channel section with concrete slope lining on the south bank. The channel right of way width is 500 feet. Within the project reach, the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) operates and maintains the channel. Review of the floodplain map published by FEMA reveals that the existing channel appears to contain the 100-year flow rate. The flood hazard designation is shown as Zone "A", a 100-year flood hazard area with no base flood elevation (BFE). Since the flows are contained within the existing channel, a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and/or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) will not be required as confirmed by CVWD. It is interesting to note that CVWD generally does not require Sediment Transport Analysis. The Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel (CVSC) is the primary storm water conveyance facility for the 1,000+ square mile Coachella Valley Watershed. The 100-year flow rate for the CVSC at the crossing is in 39,000 CFS and the Standard Project Flood (SPF) flow rate is in 82,000 CFS. We will use the HEC-RAS model to determine the preliminary channel capacities, floodplain elevations, backwater effects, total scour potential, and identify any deficiencies with the existing low water crossing and channel. The hydraulic model will also be utilized to determine the impacts to the surrounding improvements such as the channel concrete cutoff walls due to the proposed bridge improvements including changes to the natural geomorphic stream pattern (long term channel stability). The local pier scour and general scour potential will be calculated using the HEC-18 and Blench Regime Equation as required by CVWD. If necessary, the bridge scour routines in the HEC-RAS computational model, developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will be applied to preliminarily estimate the magnitude of the contraction scour and abutment scour components expected under design flow conditions for both the existing and with -project conditions. Recommendations will be provided for soffit elevation depth of fixity allowance for the proposed bridge structure. The bridge hydraulics and potential local scour values will be determined using the published SPF storm flow of 82,000 CFS. A minimum bridge freeboard of one foot will be provided under the SPF condition as required by CVWD. Based upon the results of the HEC-RAS model, we will review and identify the required channel section and scour protection through the bridge and immediately upstream and downstream of the bridge, as needed. Preliminary grades and elevations will be determined and limits of improvements will be identified. Dune /alms /QoWLow later Grossing /Qeplarement at Coachella Valley Starm Water Channel Page B-4 .Seefion 2 — 4r fern Vut erstangtnq �f APproarh Utility Location and Relocation Dune Palms Road is a major transportation vehicular and pedestrian route in the project area. It will be critical for the project to avoid major utilities where possible. However, in some cases, these existing utilities may need to be relocated. Utility relocation can be very costly and a lengthy process. Therefore it is critical to evaluate the utilities as part of the design in the early stage. If the utility relocation is too extensive, certain alternative construction methods or alignments may need to be considered. As part of our proposal preparation, we have conducted some preliminary utility research and have noted a number of utilities within the area. Based on our review, we are recommending that twenty (20) potholes be included in the project. It will also be critical to determine which agency has prior rights, as this will affect cost and schedule. Detailed field topographic survey along with continuous coordination with all utility companies will confirm the existence and location of existing utilities, as well as future underground and overhead utilities. Due to the proposed We will provide utility coordination for all utilities within the project area. All local utility purveyors will be contacted to secure all available plats, plans, and as -built plans showing known facilities within the limits of the project area. Copies of all utility information secured will be provided to the City. We will manage the utility coordination process, issue required notices to the utility owners, review liability claims, make recommendation for approval, prepare and submit utility agreements to owners, and prepare the utility portion of the Right -of -Way Certification. Construction Staging and Traffic Impacts Each construction project presents its own unique challenges. What worked for the Adams Street Bridge crossing may not work for the Dune Palms Road Bridge crossing. It is critical that the project team look not only how to design the project, but how to stage the construction of the project. Construction staging must consider public safety, cost implications, and traffic impacts to name a few. The temporary bypass road proposed with the HBP funding application is approximately 28 feet south (downstream) of the existing roadway pavement, which will become throw -away improvements. We have evaluated an alternative staging plan (see the attached Exhibit C-2) to minimize throw -away improvements to save cost. One possible approach is to minimize the width of the Stage 1 Existing pavement on the low water crossing shall be fully utilized for staging without constructing any temporary throw -away improvements. Dune ,Palms 96L-w water Crossing Replae ment at Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Page B-5 Im eri Section 2 — Pryeet Unr/erstanerng �f ApProarh structure on the west side of the low water crossing, which is sufficient enough to accommodate the Stage 2 traffic. This will provide adequate space to fully utilize the existing pavement in the low water crossing for a two-lane detour road and pedestrian access. Once the Stage 1 structure is built, traffic can be detoured onto the new structure while the remaining half of the structure is being built. Our approach to identifying how to stage construction will begin shortly after the kick-off meeting. Consideration will be given to balance the cost and safety. It will include identification of the major stakeholders that will be affected by the construction and the traffic impacts associated with that construction. Initially, we have identified the potential traffic impacts to the Dune Palms Mobile Estates, J. Paul Building Business Park, and La Quinta High School. Dune Palms Road profile at Corporate Centre Drive will be higher than the existing roadway profile and this will create access issue for J. Paul Building. We will phase roadway construction to allow access to J. Paul Building at all times. We will coordinate with each of these groups and develop staging options that can be presented to the City prior to commencing design. Bridge Structure The proposed bridge identified in the HBP funding document is approximately 480 feet long. The bridge length will be further refined based on the final roadway profile, water surface elevation, and accommodation to the on -going CV Link Trail passing under the bridge for golf carts and bicyclists. The structure type shall be determined based on various factors including cost-effectiveness, feasibility of using falsework, seismic performance, duration of construction, staging need, aesthetics, and future maintenance requirements. We tentatively propose a Cast -In -Place Pre -Stressed (CIP/PS) Concrete Box Girder because it is the most cost-effective structure type in California; is aesthetically pleasing; and does not require major long-term maintenance. One key advantage of the box girder option is its capability of long span that will reduce the amount of piers in the channel, which will reduce the environmental impacts or mitigations and minimize the impacts to the channel hydraulics. In addition, its shallow structure depth will reduce the raise of the profile grade, which will minimize the approach roadwork and the project footprint. Additional structure options such as precast concrete "I"- and bulb-"T" girders will be considered during the project development. The railing shown in the picture has been considered as a standard architectural model by the City. The planning study with the HBP funding document has considered a 4-span structure with 3 piers. It involves a structure depth of 6.5 feet, two interior spans of 130 feet and two end spans of 110 feet. We have further refined the structure layout and design as shown in the attached exhibit Figure S-l. The alternative has considered the following opportunities: ✓ The channel within the project area consists of a major 54" recycled waterline running along the channel at approximately 150 feet south of the northern CVWD right of way line. We propose longer interior spans of 140 feet so that the bridge foundation can stay in a Dune /alms R.aWt w Water Crossing R-,placement at Coaehella Valley Storer Water Channel Page B-6 Sector Z — %Protect Uhr%rstanerriq IF Approach minimal horizontal clearance of 20 feet from the waterline to eliminate all potential adverse effects. ✓ The structure depth at the beginning and the end of the bridge can be reduced from 6.5 feet to 5 feet. The structure depth at the piers on higher profile grade will be tapered back to 6.5 feet that will meet and exceed the hydraulic freeboard requirements. This strategy will help lower the roadway profile grade to minimize the approach roadway improvements and the project footprint. ✓ 6 foot diameter columns for the piers will be proposed. A pier that is equal to or more than 6 feet wide will eliminate the debris load of 4 feet (2 feet on either side of the pier) in the hydraulic modeling and reduce the water surface elevation. This is based on US Army Corps of Engineers, (Item 3 of Paragraph 21 of the Hydrology and Hydraulics Section Policy Memorandum No. 2 — Debris Loading on Bridges and Culverts, August 4, 2004). The substructure is expected to be supported on large 9 to 10 feet diameter Cast -In -Drilled -Hole (CIDH) concrete piles to mitigate deep scour in the range of 25 to 35 feet for SPF flow. Based on CA Title 8 Section 8403, a project with large shafts (piles) that are more than 20 feet deep and 30 inches in diameter will require a mining permit from Cal OSHA for safety regulation as the construction worker may enter the shaft and may be exposed to underground gas. Issues and Opportunities, for Environmental Documentation Our approach to this project will include making clear to all permitting agencies the limited potential impacts associated with the proposed project. CNS team partner - Terra Nova has been providing land use and environmental planning services to the City of La Quinta since 1985. Terra Nova has prepared the latest update to the City General Plan and associated EIR, and other environmental analysis for a variety of other projects in the vicinity. Most recently, Terra Nova prepared NEPA and CEQA environmental documents and secured permits for other bridge development in the Whitewater River/CVSC both upstream and downstream of the proposed bridge project. Terra Nova also secured permits from the Army Corps of Engineers, the California Department of Fish & Wildlife, California Regional Water Quality Control Board and the US EPA. We have also secured Non -Jeopardy Biological Opinion Letters from the US Fish & Wildlife Services. Environmental issues associated with this project include the following: ✓ Impacts to jurisdictional waters of the State and US ✓ Construction and buildout impacts on area traffic and circulation ✓ Community noise impacts ✓ Protection of cultural resources ✓ Protection of biological resources ✓ CV Link and other multi -modal integration ✓ Visual/aesthetic impacts Opportunities are also present and include the following: ✓ Maximize value of previous channel impact mitigations associated with other bridge projects Dune /alms R.ael&w Water Grossing Replacement at Coaehel%a Valley Storm Water Chanmel Page B-7 _'L-r or Z - Pr jert Un4/erstan ng Nr Approach ✓ Minimize permanent channel disturbance to allow ACOE 404 Nationwide Permit ✓ All-weather emergency access and evacuation routes ✓ Strong social and economic benefit from widening ✓ Improved accessibility to Highway 111 commercial corridor ✓ Existing channel conditions that help minimize impacts from the widening Potential mitigation measures/programs/strategies include the following: ✓ Optimize previous CDFW and ACOE permits and approvals ✓ Maximize value of MSHCP and project "Covered Activity" status ✓ Clarify the limited and incremental nature of the noise and traffic impacts ✓ Maximize professional and personal relationships with Caltrans and City staff ✓ Traffic control measures during construction that maximize capacity of the interim channel crossing and nearby intersections, while also maximizing traffic safety ✓ Reiterate and, where appropriate, prescribe mitigation measures already applied to other bridge projects that may be applicable to the Dune Palms Road Bridge ✓ Application of clean design principles and elements to bridge and associated components optimizing City design standards and guidelines Terra Nova will coordinate with City and team members, and provide on -going input and assistance along the entire process. Our close and on -going relationships with CDFW, USACE, Caltrans, local CRWQCB and the City will help assure the smoothest application processing possible. As in the past, we plan to encourage concurrent agency reviews wherever possible to streamline the process, establish consensus early, and secure sensible approvals. Terra Nova will closely coordinate with project engineers and traffic engineer on construction and staging plans. Terra Nova will also provide a comprehensive suite of planning and environmental services, and will act as an extension of City staff in the preparation of notices, staff reports and other materials. We will also extend City capabilities by transmitting environmental documents on behalf of the City, preparing draft staff reports and supporting hearing materials. We will also assure the timely filing of notices, especially those that initiate statutory appeal periods. Although the preparation of environmental technical studies and analyses will be important, a key issue for the project will be the processing of the environmental documentation through the various agencies. This will be addressed through three specific approaches: ✓ Meet with Caltrans prior to the commencement of the technical studies to ensure that all issues and areas are clearly outlined at the outset of the project to help streamline the agency review process and minimize any schedule impacts; ✓ Work with the City and Caltrans to develop an agreement whereby concurrent reviews will be conducted by the reviewing agencies (following the initial review) to help eliminate the normal linear review cycle; and ✓ Work to forge an agreement early with Caltrans, with the approval of the City, to address document revisions in a document revisions workshop, where document revisions are addressed in real time with the Caltrans reviewer to ensure that the document is ready for approval in the subsequent submittal.

Deliverables: Preliminary Geotechnical Design Report and Preliminary Foundation Report 2.7 Structure Advance Planning Study CNS will perform bridge Advance Planning Study (APS) in accordance with Caltrans Office of Special Funded Projects (SFP) Information and Procedures Guide and Bridge Memo to Designers manuals for the proposed bridge. The project is expected to include up to two structure alternatives that require APS. A bridge APS plan will be prepared for each structure alternative. The primary objective for this task is to determine the preliminary scope (geometry) and cost of the most feasible bridge type that can be accepted by the City and Caltrans. The APS will include evaluation of the most cost- effective structure type, foundation and its constructability, calculations of horizontal and vertical clearances, stage and utility requirements, and structural interaction with roadway facilities. We will review Preliminary Foundation Report (PFR) prepared by the geotechnical engineer and determine the likely foundation and its impacts on the bridge costs.

Deliverables: CEQA and City -compliant Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration with Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; CEQA Exemptions. 3.15 NEPA Categorical Exclusion Based upon our preliminary assessment of the project, the site and the physical circumstances, it is anticipated that Caltrans will be able to issue a Categorical Exclusion (CE) citing special studies that will satisfy Caltrans' NEPA analysis for this project. This assumption is based on the scale of the project, the extent of surrounding urbanization, and the planned limited and discrete treatment of the channel. Based on our understanding of the likely extent of permanent disturbance in the channel and as noted below, we expect permanent impacts to "waters of the US" to be less than the threshold requiring an individual project 404 permit (0.50 acres). Therefore, a Nationwide Permit should suffice for this project and preclude the need for USACE-compliant NEPA documentation to satisfy the US Army Corps of Engineers. 3.16 Circulate Draft Environmental Document and Respond to Comments (CEQA) Task includes preparation of IS/MND transmittal list and document transmittal based on City - approved agency transmittal list provided to and approved by City Public Works, and surrounding property owner notification package with a 1,000-foot radius (per City Public Works) to be provided by OPC.
