City of Los Angeles (213) 202-5591 PROJECT SIMILARITIES: Structural bridge design over water element, preliminary and final bridge design The Sixth Street Viaduct is located east of downtown Los Angeles is the longest of the bridges crossing the Los Angeles River. The bridge carries four lanes of traffic over the Los Angeles River, Union Pacific Rail Road (UPRR), Metrolink tracks and the US101 freeway. The structure qualifies to be eligible Page I 1 I1V,lli� . Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel for the National Register of Historical Places. The viaduct was constructed in 1932 using on -site concrete mixing plants and state-of-the-art concrete technology for that time period. Over the last 70 years, concrete elements of the viaduct have deteriorated as a result of Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR). The cracking is evident throughout the bridge and concrete spalling on the columns, bent caps and griders. Studies show that deterioration due to ASR will continue to occur and further increase the risk of collapse in seismic events. Thus, there is a pressing need for the viaduct replacement. A team of experts are currently working on the design of the replacement. IDC is responsible for preliminary and final design of a part of the viaduct. A total of 13 alternatives where identified for further study during the development of the APS report including Extradosed. IDC is responsible for six of these alternatives which include two different types of steel Half -Through arch bridges. I ST STREET BRIDGE CLIENT: City of Los Angeles CLIENT REFERENCE: Dung Tran, PE. City of Los Angeles (213) 202-5572 PROJECT SIMILARITIES: Structural bridge design 1st Street Bridge over the Los Angeles River is a historically significant bridge that required needed structural widening in order to accommodate the Gold Line light rail extension to East Los Angeles. IDC performed complex computer modeling to predict and compare the behaviors of the existing and proposed bridge. The comparative analysis was used to design the bridge while adhering to the seismic design code. IDC also worked closely with the State Historical Preservation to preserve the bridge's historical features. NORTH STREET BRIDGE CLIENT: City of Los Angeles CLIENT REFERENCE: Ejike Mbaruguru, PE, PE. City of Los Angeles (213) 202-5597 PROJECT SIMILARITIES: Structural bridge design, Construction support Page 1 2 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel North Spring Bridge is a magnificent historical arch structure constructed in 1928 at 1200 feet long and 40 feet wide. In order to meet future traffic demand, the City of Los Angeles lead the effort of widening the structure on both sides to 6 lanes. IDC generated a 3-D computer model of the existing and the propsed structure to study the structural behavior of the bridges. Due to limited right of way, the bridge was unable to accommodate the shoofly construction on the west side of the LA River because the piers were sandwiched by two Metrolink tracks that were only 10 feet away. IDC tackled the issue by devising a precast pier system to allow construction of the piers in the limited 8 hour constrution window. IDC's innovative solution not only created a cost savings of over a million dollars for tax payers in the shoofly construction but also significantly shorten the construction period, lessening the construction impact on commuters. Additionally, IDC worked closely with the State Historical Preservation to reconstitute some of the original architectural treatments and details which was removed or altered by previous constructions.

SIGNATURE PROJECTS WHITEWATER RIVER / DESERT COVE GOLF COURSE CLIENT: City of Cathedral, Coachella Valley Water District, Riverside County Flood Control District CLIENT REFERENCE: Dan Charlton, Coachella Valley Water District, 760.398.2651 x2421 PROJECT SIMILARITIES: Channel design, hydrology and hydraulic analysis, CEQA documentation, flood control, cultural resources, permitting, construction documents Page 1 4 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel mr. Donis Sman, proposed lead engineer, led a design team in the acquisition of FEMA, CVWD, and RCFC&WCD permits for construction of the improvements of the Whitewater ftfi River associated with the development of the Desert Cove+ Golf Course and Sheraton Resort in the City of Cathedral City. Whitewater River is a master planned regional flood control channel with joint ownership and maintenance shared by both RCFC&WCD and CVWD. The design peak flow rate for Whitewater River was 83,000 cfs. The -" developer, Desert Cove, LLC, will construct an 18-hole Fred Couples Signature golf course designed by Schmidt -Curley, LLC. The project utilized a very unique approach to armoring and stabilizing the Whitewater River while at the same time preserving the visual appeal and aesthetics of the golf course. The river armoring system consisted of extensive and varied use of Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRM), Soil Cement Grade Stabilization Structures, a series of interconnected low -flow Soil Cement Lined Marshes/Ponds, and golf course turf. The Whitewater River is an incised earthen trapezoidal channel with existing concrete 1.5:1 side slopes, a base width of 600-ft, and channel depth of 20-ft. Through an iterative design process using 2-Dimensional Hydraulic Modeling (FLO-2D) the design team along with the Schmidt -Curley Golf Course Architect Design Team develop a grading plan that resulted in a unique golf layout with 2 directions of play with ponds and water hazards forming the barrier between fairways. Mr. Smith managed the preparation of preliminary design studies, final design studies, construction documents, FEMA permit acquisition and environmental permit acquisition process on behalf of Desert Cove LLC to construct the Whitewater River improvements and remove the proposed Sheraton Hotel Resort and Golf Club House from the 100-yr floodplain. AVENUE 58 AND EISENHOWER DRIVE REHABILITATION CLIENT: City of La Quints CLIENT REFERENCE: Bryan McKinney, PE, Principal Engineer, 760.777.7045 PROJECT SIMILARITIES: Street design, sidewalk design, and ADA compliance In an effort to rehabilitate and convert older Riverside County streets to conform to current city standards, the City contracted with Dudek to perform field investigation of current street conditions (including sub grade and structural section analysis). The project areas were found to have an insufficient structural section that required full rehabilitation of the roadways. Dudek prepared full street rehabilitation improvement plans, including design of curb and gutter, sidewalk, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps in locations where existing improvements either did not exist or did not meet current City standards. Page 1 5 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel DILLON ROAD WIDENING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CLIENT: City of Coachella CLIENT REFERENCE: Eldon Lee, Director of Community Development, (760) 398-3102 PROJECT SIMILARITIES: CEQA/NEPA, FHA coordination Dudek provided environmental services for the City of Coachella with regard to their Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for widening Dillon Road between Interstate 10 on the north and State Route 86 on the south. The project corridor was located within the City of Coachella and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) right-of-ways. Consequently, Dudek was responsible for interagency coordination and preparation of the necessary environmental documents to satisfy their independent application protocols under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The proposed improvements included the widening of the existing Dillon Road roadway from two to four lanes, the installation of a median curb, the installation of a new traffic signal at Harrison Place, and the interconnection of four existing signals. The proposed improvements were constructed within the existing 80-foot right-of-way. The proposed road improvements were necessary to avoid major traffic congestion and improve safety. Dudek prepared a Natural Environmental Study (NES) to address potential biological resource impacts. Working closely with the project design engineer and in-house biologists to provide environmental guidance during the design phase of the project, Dudek was responsible for preparation of an Initial Study (IS) leading to a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) to meet CEQA requirements. The MND was coupled with the Categorical Exclusion under NEPA to satisfy Federal Highway Administration (FHA) requirements. Other technical studies included a Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR), a Noise Abatement Decision Report, and an Air Quality Study. Dudek also prepared the Caltrans- required Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form.

SIGNATURE PROJECTS VISTA CHINO LOW WATER CROSSING BRIDGE CLIENT: PALM SPRINGS CLIENT REFERENCE: Dave Barakian, PE, TE, PTOE, Palm Springs, (760)-323-8253 PROJECT SIMILARITIES: Low water crossing bridge, bridge aesthetic design Page 1 7 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel As part of a - collaborative team, DEA prepared conceptual ? designs to highlight bridge aesthetics for the ; Vista Chino Low Water Crossing Bridge in Palm Springs. The project consists of the design 1 and construction of a - new four -lane bridge over the Whitewater Channel, approximately 2,300 feet long. The project is federally funded and will require approval from the City, FHWA, and Caltrans. DEA's team began developing four distinct concepts for the bridge. Each portrayed a theme that allowed for a unique yet appropriate representation of forms, textures, colors, and materials used throughout the City. During this time, similar concepts were being developed for the Ramon Road Bridge in Cathedral City. Because the Vista Chino Bridge is located on the border of Cathedral City, the need and desire for collaboration and input was key to both agencies to convey a consistent theme. Upon completion of the four concepts, the DEA design team presented to the Palm Springs and Cathedral City Arts Commission such that each team could consider the design elements, colors, themes, and materials. Both Arts Commissions respectively provided guidance for our team to prepare a revised concept for the Vista Chino Bridge that would focus on refining the concept .... a desire to keep the design simple while allowing west bound vehicular traffic to focus on the mountain vista set before them. DATE PALM DRIVE/1- 10 INTERCHANGE AESTHETIC DESIGN AND GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT CLIENT: Cathedral City CLIENT REFERENCE: Bill Simons, Cathedral City, (760)-770-0360 PROJECT SIMILARITIES: Bridge aesthetic design DEA provided landscape architecture and master planning services to the City of Cathedral City to develop aesthetic designs for bridge enhancements and interchange improvements at the 1-10 Freeway/Date Palm Drive interchange. Working closely with City staff and Caltrans District 8 landscape architects, DEA developed a design to create a readily identifiable "Gateway" and introduction to the City. At the preliminary stage, DEA developed 3 potential themes: "Cathedralesque," to evoke a sense of the forms and colors experienced in a cathedral; "Environmental," drawing upon the unique plant life in the desert to create iconography; and "Spirit of the Desert," using color and a sense of movement to define the esoteric nature of the desert. The "Cathedralesque" theme was selected, and DEA used form, texture, color and lighting to further develop the concept to provide a unique experience at the interchange. Services were performed in accordance with Caltrans standards.

Page 137 "N� Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel PROJECT UNDERSTANDING PROJECT APPROAC � m "ass ";'�?i. - - _ �a�j•1'.r;., cr�`;� ..r.e Dune Palms Road is a major arterial within the City of La Quinta. The proposed Dune Palms Road project (Project) is located on the portion of Dune Palms Road that is over the Whitewater River Wash, or also referred to as the Coachella Valley Water Channel (CVSWC). This road segment carries 8,680 average daily traffic (ADT) (2011 ADT) and provides essential transportation accesses for daily commuters, schools and emergency services. During the summer monsoon season, this portion of Dune Palms Road is closed for an extended period due to heavy flooding, causing major interruptions to commuters and impacting the delivery of essential City services. The City has secured federal Highway Bridge Program funds to construct an all-weather bridge over the channel, thus replacing the current low water crossing of the CVSWC. Furthermore, the project will accommodate the projected 21,400 ADT in 2030, provide continuous roadway configuration that is consistent with both approaches, and will be design in such a way that is consistent with the current programmed planning projects within the project limits — such as local roadway improvements and the CV/Link vision in the beautiful Coachella Valley. The bridge will also be designed with aesthetic treatments that are consistent with the overall community theme, possibly similar to the treatments from Adam Street and Jefferson Street bridges which are to the east and west, respectively, to the Project. Lastly, because the Project is partially funded with Federal Highway Bridge Program funds, the Project will must follow Caltrans Local Assistance processes to acquire necessary project approval and clearances. IDC assembled a team with extensive experiences in developing federal aided bridge projects through Caltrans Local Assistance, with extensive experience in Page 1 38 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel the local Coachella Valley community and are familiar with the unique specialties of the region, with extensive knowledge in local civil and drainage design, and bridge design over waterways. In summary, IDC team proposes the following design characteristic and structural features for Dune Palm Road Bridge: 1. Permanent bridge structure designed to withstand greater than 100-year flood. 2. Project site channel improvements that are cost effective for scour protection. 3. Roadway that accommodates the projected 21,400 ADT in year 2030 with 4 lanes of traffic. 4. Roadway that accommodates multi -mode transportation. Building off from the CV Link vision for Coachella Valley, proposed bridge will provide a share lane for bicycle and low speed - electric vehicles (such as golf cart). S. Signature bridge aesthetic design that is consistent with City's overall community planning and design goals and one that preserves La Qunita's unique characteristic. 6. Overall project design that incorporate balanced environmental preservations for precious desert natural resources. 7. Engineering design solutions that minimize property impacts and cost saving strategies. & Traffic control design that offers minimum impacts during construction. 9. Project delivery strategies that promote true project partnering with Caltrans and project approving agencies. 6'S/W 8' Bike 12' 12' 8' Medlan 12' 12' 8' Bike 6'S/W cart Cart STREET CROSS SECTION ILLUSTRATING THE PROPOSED BIKE AND LOW SPEED VEHICLE LANE BRIDGE FEATURES: LA QUNITA AESTHETIC & MULTI -MODAL TRANSPORTATION FUNCTION Page 1 39 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel ISSUES AND IDC TEAM APPROACH The team's complete understanding of the Project allows us to fully grasp Key Issues affecting the success, or conversely the failure, of the Project. Utilizing the team's expertise in the field and experience in bridge design work, the following are the Key Issues around the project the team's technical approaches to addressing and alleviating the issues. 1. ADJACENT PROJECTS: ADAM STREET BRIDGE AND DUNE PALMS ROAD WIDENING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The construction of the Adams Street Bridge, located just upstream of the Dune Palms Bridge is near its construction completion. Significant engineering documents and environmental approvals have been prepared for the design and construction of the Adam Street Bridge. Because of its close proximity to the Dune Palms Bridge, many design features and environmental resources that are identified and studied for the Adam Bridge project can be utilized as reference in developing the Dune Palms Bridge. Such strategies may result in cost savings that will benefit the City. Upon obtaining the NTP, IDC will work closely with the City to identify Adam Street Bridge documents that can be updated/borrowed for Dune Palms Bridge, instead of reworking all documents and incurring unnecessary costs for the City. IDC will also obtain Caltrans concurrence before proceeding with studies. Another adjacent project, just north of the proposed Project, is the Dune Palms Road Widening Improvement project between Westwood Ho and the White Water Channel. The adjacent project is currently in the design phase of project development. IDC team will work with the City and its widening project design team to ensure the proposed bridge project will be consistent with all major roadway features such as lane configurations, alignments, pavement design, drainage system and utilities. 2. DUNE PALMS BRIDGE UNIQUENESS IDC team has carefully studied previous work performed by RBF Consulting and have gathered other information associated with this project. In general, IDC agreed with the design concepts and preliminary analysis as presented in the RFP. However, rather than designing an almost identical bridge to Adams Street and Jefferson Street Bridge, the team can explore unique aesthetic and structural features that communicate modern design to preserve La Quinta's unique beauty and connect with Coachella Valley's futuristic CV Link transportation vision. IDC's architectural sub consultant firm David Evans and Associates (DEA) completed several signature bridge aesthetic design work in neighboring community like Palm Springs. IDC's structure team lead, Dr. Xiaoyun Wu, an earthquake structural design specialist, has extensive experience in designing bridges with unique features. Collaborating together, DEA and Dr. Wu and can utilize their design skills in bridge aesthetic and structure to physically translate the uniqueness of Dune Palms Bridge through their special design touch and create a bridge that preserves La Qunita's unique beauty and that is consistent with the CV Link vision. Additionally, the team observed the channel improvements as part of the Adams Street Bridge project and offer cost saving hydraulic grade control structures elements to be explored for this project. Page 1 40 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel 3. FOUR LANE BRIDGE PROGRAMMING VERTIFICATION The project is currently programmed as a 4-lane bridge replacement project. The crossing is mainly a link connecting Dune Palms from north side of channel to the south side of channel. The bridge should be designed to match the four lane configuration designed for the Dune Palms Roadway Improvement project. 2010/11-2015/16 Highway Bridge Program See the appropriate FTIP/FSTIP for current funding commitments.

COACHELLA VALLEY STORM WATER CHANNEL (WHITE WATER RIVER) HYDRAULICS CONSIDERATION The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) operates and maintains the Whitewater River for the desert region in Coachella Valley and control regional flood. The channel provides critical flood protection that can withstand a Standard Project Flood, or approximately a flow of 80,000 CFS. At the bridge location, one foot of freeboard must be provided to meet the flow requirements of SPF which is greater than the 100 year flood. The RFP outlined hydraulics analysis findings based on general observations of the channel and the design work done for the Adams Street just upstream of the proposed project. In general, IDC agreed with these observations and preliminary design features presented in the RFP. IDC team's drainage lead, Mr. Jonis Smith has extensive experiences in providing engineering solutions for improvement projects associated with the Whitewater River. IDC team will be focused on finding cost saving design strategies that provide the same level of drainage protections. IDC's Civil and Drainage task lead Dudek will work closely with the City and the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) to evaluate design alternatives to determine the flood control value of keeping and enhancing the existing low water roadway crossing at Dune Palms or removing the low water crossing as a part of this project. Utilizing hydraulic grade control structures, similar to both upstream and downstream of this project site, can provide valuable benefit to bridge construction by reducing flow velocities and controlling flow hydraulics, and reducing grading requirements which will result in cost saving for the project. 5. CHANNEL AND LOCAL SCOUR DETERMINATIONS Page 141 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel The RFP calls out the scour depth at the columns/piers and associated slope protections at approximately 49 feet, the sum of the local pier scour of 24' and the Blench Regime scour of 25'. The estimate was based on the bridge and is not associated with any grade control structures. IDC team will evaluate the possibility of introducing hydraulic grade control structures and determine proper depth of scour and develop proper scour protection measurements. The existing Dune Palms Road carries three through lanes with shoulders on the east side and a pedestrian/bikeway on the west. The roadbed width is approximately 66 feet. The proposed roadway will provide four through lanes with standard shoulders, bikeway lane and a center raised median for a total width of 84 feet. Although the bridge width has been increased with an additional lane, such configuration is mainly to match the current program project on the north side of the crossing, and to be �► ^ consistent with Dune Palms roadway, classified as a four lane divided secondary arterial roadway per • the City's General Plan. The proposed bridge will accommodate future ADT (year 2030) of 21,400 with estimated truck traffic of 5%. Design speed of 45 MPH will be used to design roadway horizontal and vertical profiles. IDC team evaluated the proposed horizontal alignment and vertical profile in the RFP. pWe generally concur with the design approaches. For the horizontal alignment, better alignment design can be achieved to tie in with the current on -going Dune Palms Road improvement project just north of the project location after obtaining field survey. The preliminary vertical alignment seem to be adequate �- with reasonable minimal in and out slopes for design speed of 55 MPH. Curb catch basins with storm drain outlets into channel at the sag points will be designed to control surface runoff. The critical element of the geometric is to determine the Specific Project Flood (SPF) elevation so that the bridge control elevation can be set to finalize overall roadway profile. Equally important is to place the bridge abuts and piers/columns so that they are aligned with the direction of channel flow to minimize erosion and scour. 7. BRIDGE AND STRUCTURE The proposed bridge will span approximately 480 feet over the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel. To minimize earth work and retaining wall construction at the bridge approaches, the profile presented in the RFP illustrating the the bridge concept plan is sufficient and will be used. Based on the profile, a four -span Prestressed (P/S) Cast -In -Place (CIP) Concrete Box Girder Bridge is proposed to satisfy the 1 feet minimum freeboard requirement, and to minimize the piers in the channel for better river hydraulics and for cost effectiveness. The bridge substructure will be three column piers on concrete CIDH pile shaft and two seat type abutments supported on 2ft CIDH pile groups. Type 1 Retailing Wall will be used at bridge approaches to minimize right of way takes. Compare with the precast P/S concrete 'I' Girder superstructure the P/S CIP box girder construction may have a saving roughly up to 15-20%. However, false work over the channel will be required during the construction. During wet season, sudden flash flood can come and go quickly with high velocity carrying huge amount of sediment in the channel. To maximize the flow hydraulic section and to reduce the debris deposit, rather than offering circular column substructures, the oblong shape columns is proposed. With the larger column dimension in the bridge transverse direction the bridge will also gain larger stiffness with Page 1 42 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel better stability for temporary traffic in phase-11 construction. The bridge piers will be designed to incorporate scour protection measures. The overall general plan is provided in Exhibit 1. The bridge will be designed as two -half bridges joined by a closure pour to accommodate stage construction. Before the bridge construction, the existing on grade roadway will be temporarily widened about 28 ft. on the east side to provide two-lane traffic and a pedestrian sidewalk with safety zone for Phase I construction. The traffic then will be shifted to the completed new structure and allowing the 2"d half of the bridge to be built in Phase 11 construction. A closure pour building in the last stage of the construction will connect the Phase I and Phase 11 structures to form an integral bridge. The design strategy is used on most of the bridge construction projects statewide to minimize construction impact for travelling public. Refer to Exhibit 2 and 3 for details. The signature features of the Dune Palms Bridge can be expressed through the special aesthetic bridge treatments that will be implemented for this bridge. It is the City's desire to introduce shared lane for bicycles and low speed electrical vehicles (such as golf cart), as well as provide bridge elements echoing the theme of CV Link vision. We anticipate extensive dialogues with the community during the preparation of the Dune Palms Bridge Aesthetics Study. It is our hope that Dune Palms Bridge will be another landmark of the City of La Quinta for many years to come. Dr. Wu, with her years of designing signature bridges, such as the Sixth Street over LA River, the First Street Bridge over LA River, the North Spring Bridge over LA River and San Francisco Bay Bridge, brings her unique values to this project, and will collaborate with DEA architect and the City to realize the City and community's vision. 8. UTILITIES Discussions and research with utility owners within the project area confirmed the presence of several utility facilities that will be impacted by the construction. Based on the team's preliminary research, several utility owners have facilities within the project or its surrounding area, as fully listed in the table below. The exact locations of the following facilities will need to be verified as the first order of work. OWNERUTILITY CVWD 18" Sewer CVWD 54" Reclaimed water CVWD 18" Water Imperial Irrigation Dist. OH Electric Currently, there is an adjacent utility pole line to the east of the existing road bed, a 54-inch reclaimed water line within the existing CVWD wash, an 18-inch water line within existing Dune Palms Road, and sewer facilities to the north end of the project. It appears all of these facilities will be impacted by the proposed construction. Construction staging indicates that a detour road will be built to the east of existing Dune Palms Road. The best plan would be to temporarily relocate the water and the overhead power pole line into the detour area and abandon the existing facilities while the bridge is being constructed. The relocation of all facilities (including the reclaimed water line and sewer facilities) Page 1 43 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel should be done prior to the construction of the bridge. Some utility owners may want to be placed in the new structure and early contact will be made with all utility owners within the area to confirm any desire to do so. 9. RIGHT OF WAY As a result of the proposed improvements and the associated construction activities, it is assumed that various interests, including fee simple, permanent slope, and/or temporary easements, will be needed from the below three separate parcels. 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, all-weather 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 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 bridge may prove complicated. It appears that the raised profile of the new bridge, as well as the proposed bridge approach roadway improvements will require enough additional right of way from the mobile home park, that two structures immediately adjacent to Dune Palms Road will be directly impacted. 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 parcels. It is assumed that the single family home and the right of way required from that 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 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 existing bridge (APN 600-030-018). This is a vacant commercial property that will likely require relatively simple negotiations with a single owner. 10. GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS For the Project's geotechnical work, the team investigated existing subsurface and seismic data, and with findings explained below. For subsurface data, the IDC team reviewed the Final Foundation Report for Adams Street Bridge, available at the City of La Quinta plan archive. The Adams Street Bridge was recently constructed Page 1 44 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel approximately % mile west of the project site. We understand that the proposed Dune Palms Bridge will be similar in structural design. The final Foundation Report indicates that the bridge is founded on 2-foot diameter cast -in -drilled -hole (CIDH) piles at the abutments and 10-foot diameter CIDH piles at the bents. The piles at the abutments were extended to depths of about 36 feet below the cutoff elevation while the piles at the bents were extended to depths of about 113 feet below the cutoff elevation. We anticipate that similar soil conditions will be encountered for the Project. For seismic data, the IDC team reviewed readily available geologic information regarding the regional geology and site seismicity. The site is located in an area underlain by Quaternary alluvium. No known faults cross the site. However, the site is located approximately 2 miles from the San Andreas Fault system and seismic forces will be a significant design consideration for the project. Our reports will include an analysis of regional seismicity based on the Caltrans seismic design procedures. We will provide a list of faults near the project area, the design acceleration response spectra for the site, and an estimate of the peak ground acceleration. After such thorough research and analysis, the team will provide the following geotechnical services for the Project: Team will evaluate the liquefaction potential for the site. The existing subsurface data referenced above indicates that the borings for the nearby Adams Street Bridge did not encounter groundwater within the depths explored. Due to the lack of groundwater, the potential for liquefaction is not anticipated to be a design consideration. However, the site risks will be evaluated based on the conditions encountered during our subsurface investigation. Team will evaluate and present bridge foundation recommendations. The proposed bridge is similar in design and geologic location to the Adams Street Bridge, and it may incorporate a similar CIDH foundation design. However, our analysis will also include the evaluation of alternative foundation designs such as driven steel piles and driven pre -cast concrete piles. We anticipate that shallow foundations will not be practical due to the heavy bridge loads and the anticipated scour depths within the channel. This information will be evaluated as part of the Phase I services for the bridge Type Selection Report. Team will provide recommendations on retaining walls. The bridge approaches may incorporate retaining walls to accommodate the grade differences. We anticipate that the retaining walls can be founded on shallow, spread footings and be designed in accordance with the Caltrans Standard Plans. Our reports will provide recommendations for the design and construction of the retaining walls, including lateral earth pressures, bearing capacity and anticipated settlement. Team will provide recommendation on roadway embankments. The bridge approaches will be constructed with earthen fill embankments in order to tie into the proposed bridge grades above the existing low water crossing. Our reports will include providing earthwork recommendations for the construction of the embankments. Stability of the embankments will be analyzed to evaluate slope stability of the embankment side slopes as well as stability of the embankments relative to the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel banks. Page 1 45 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Team will provide recommendation on roadway pavement. Dune Palms road will be improved where it ties into the new bridge structure. We understand that the City of La Quinta currently has 95 percent plans for reconstruction and widening of Dune Palms Road on the northern side of the proposed bridge. The portion of Dune Palms Road on the southern side of the proposed bridge currently consists of three travel lanes, and future construction will likely involve widening the roadway to 4 lanes with bike and golf cart paths and sidewalks. Our investigation will include testing of the pavement support characteristics of the existing soils. Our reports will include grading recommendations for earthwork, along with design of pavement structural sections based on the tested R-values from the site soils. 11. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS The City will be utilizing federal funds for the project; therefore, compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) will be required, in addition to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Caltrans District 8 Office of Local Assistance will act as the lead agency for NEPA compliance as delegated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the City will be the lead agency for CEQA compliance. The project is likely to be a Categorical Exclusion / Initial Study (CE/IS). It is anticipated that the following technical studies will be required: Hazardous Waste Initial Site Assessment (prepared by others), Cultural Resources, Noise Analysis, Traffic Study (prepared by others), Air Quality Report, Water Quality Assessment, Floodplain Evaluation Report, Bridge Aesthetic Study or Visual Impact Assessment, Land Use and Community Impact Analysis and Biological Resources/Natural Environment Study — Minimal Impact (NES-MI). The scope of these environmental studies will be reviewed and confirmed with Caltrans at the initial field review meeting. 12. BRIDGE TYPE SELECTION AND HBP PARTICIPATION The proposed bridge must be designed to be consistent with the Dune Palms Widening project just north of the project approach. The length of the bridge is determined by the channel SPF elevation which controls the touch downs to existing Dune Palms Road. Channel improvements are needed to ensure bridge substructures will not be subject to severe scour. Bridge should also be designed with aesthetic treatments that meet the City's community design goal with its unique desert setting. IDC will work closely with the City to select a bridge type with cost effective design strategies that are eligible for federal funds participation. 13. CALTRANS PARTNERSHIP The project is funded with Federal earmarks funds and Highway Bridge Program (HBP) fund. Caltrans Local Assistance has the delegation authority from FHWA to administer federal funded projects that are implemented by local agencies. Caltrans District Local Assistance works with other Caltrans District functional units to provide project review and approval for required project approval such as Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) approval, Environmental technical documents approvals, NEPA clearance determination and documents approval, Right of Way certifications. Caltrans District Local Assistance works with Caltrans Local Assistance Structures providing technical supports and fund administration for bridge projects funded with HBP funds. IDC will work closely with the City and utilize our well Page 1 46 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel established good working relationship with Caltrans to promote true project partnership for a successful project delivery.

The bridge will be designed to sustain 100-year and Standard Project Flood (SPF) storm events with 1 foot of free board. Preliminary hydraulics studies and engineering analyses proposes the new four span bridge to be approximately 480' long supported on multi column piers with concrete CIDH piles. The proposed bridge will carry four lane traffic (12' lane), two bicycle lanes (8' lane), a center median (8') and sidewalks (8') on each side of the bridge. The raised profile at the bridge location will be raised to accommodate the required elevation. Smooth roadway transition will be provided with new drainage structures at both bridge approaches. Decorative bridge railing will be installed as required per the Bridge Aesthetic Study. Bicycle path underneath bridge will be provided to accommodate the regional NEV/Bike/Pedestrian corridor along Whitewater River/Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel. As part of this project, concrete slope protection at the slope and channel bottom on both north and south sides of the bridge will be constructed as scour countermeasures. Utility relocations and right of way takes are also anticipated because of the project impact. TASK 1.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT Upon the Notice to Proceed, IDC Project Manager Ms. Wendy Li will meet with the City to review detailed project scopes under each disciplines, level 7 project activities associated with each critical project milestones and deliverables and budgets for each breakdown tasks. IDC proposed to establish a project baseline that includes scope, schedule and cost for IDC's performance measure through the project delivery process. IDC will perform the following project management activities: 1. Establish project baseline measure for scope, cost and schedule as agreed by the City. 2. Prepare Phase Specific Quality Control Plan that will be utilized for the preparation of engineering and environmental studies. 3. Manage carefully for all project risks including design scope changes might trigger HBP participation / eligibility challenge. 4. Conduct regular project meeting as required updating project progress and resolving project issues. 5. Coordinate with sub consultants to ensure timely submission of quality documents for review and approval by various agencies. 6. Prepare monthly invoice includes work done by sub consultants. 7. Prepare draft staff agenda items for project updates and council actions as required by City's Project Manager. Page 1 48 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel IDC is committed to our agreeable project schedule, including working closely with Caltrans for timely approval of environmental studies submitted. We will take proactive approach for every project issues raised through the process. IDC is also committed to deliver the project within the project budget as agreed at the beginning of the project. TASK 1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CEQA/NEPA APPROVALS The proposed project must be in compliances with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Policy Act (CEQA). Caltrans will be the lead agency for NEPA and the City will be the lead agency for CEQA. Based on the proposed scope of the project, the project would qualify for a Categorical Exclusion under CEQA and Initial Study (sunder NEPA. r �MND ? Cr IDC's sub consultant Dudek is the task lead for the Environmental discipline. TASK 1.1.1 PROJECT KICK-OFF AND PREPARTION OF PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE IDC will work closely with the City to initiate a project kick-off meeting. Meeting participants will include all project team members and critical project partners such as representatives from Caltrans, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). This task will include an initial site visit to document existing conditions. Initial research of background information, relevant files, data, etc. will also be necessary during this initial task. The subject of utilizing the useful project documents that developed for the Adam Street Bridge will also be discussed as part of the this task. This task will also include preparation of a working project description which will include a description of the components of the bridge project, construction details including an overall project planning/construction schedule and operations/maintenance parameters. The project description will include preparation of initial project location maps (regional map, vicinity map, project area). The project description will be circulated for review the City. This task assumes one round of review the City. TASK 1.1.2 PRELIMINARY ENVIORNMENTAL STUDY (PES) Consistent with Caltrans' Local Assistance Manual, we will prepare a Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) for the project. Caltrans latest PES form will be used. To ensure the project receive positive collaboration from Caltrans, we suggest to invite Caltrans Environmental to participate project site visit as part of PES preparation. After the site visit and project research effort, a Draft PES form will be submitted to the City for its review before submitting to Caltrans Local Assistance for approval. Comments from Caltrans will be logged and discussed with the City before proceeding with revision. While waiting for Caltrans PES review comments, IDC team will work on several standard types of studies and engineering efforts to keep project schedule on track. Page 149 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel During preparation of the PES, we will work with Caltrans to determine the Area of Potential Effect (APE). We will also define an environmental resource study area (RSA) for each environmental topical area. A RSA is the geographic area within which impacts on a particular resource are analyzed. Because impacts can include cumulative impacts, individual RSAs will be developed for each environmental topical area to incorporate the cumulative extent of potential effects. Each RSA will be determined based on the relationship of the resource to the proposed project and surrounding areas. The APE and RSAs will be developed early in the process to ensure future environmental analyses incorporate the same geographic areas. With our proactive approach, we anticipate PIES process will take approximately three months. TASK 1.1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL STUDIES Per Caltrans' Local Assistance Manual Guidelines, we will prepare the required technical reports for the project, which will be appended to the environmental documents. It is anticipated that the following technical studies will be required: ■ Hazardous Waste Initial Site Assessment ■ Cultural Resources ■ Noise Analysis • Traffic Study • Air Quality Report • Water Quality Assessment • Floodplain Evaluation Report • Visual Impact Assessment • Land Use and Community Impact Analysis • Biological Resources/Natural Environment Study — Minimal Impact (NES-MI), • Geotechnical Report • Asbestos Survey Report • Aerially Deposited Lead Investigation Report The paragraphs below provide an explanation of the scope of work required for the aforementioned technical studies. The scope of these environmental studies will be reviewed and confirmed with Caltrans at the initial field review meeting. NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY — MINIMAL IMPACT (NES-MI) _. ......... ....... ........... Prior to performing the field investigation, we will review the current California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) species list in order to determine whether or not any state- and/or federally listed threatened or endangered and/or special -status species have been recorded in the project area. We will conduct a general biological reconnaissance survey of the project area to inventory existing biological resources and to create a baseline biological resources map Page 1 50 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel with vegetation communities and conspicuous sensitive species locations. During the field survey, a general inventory of plant and animal species detected by sight, calls, tracks, scat, or other signs will be compiled, as well as a determination of potential sensitive species that could occur in the project area based on habitats present. Observable sensitive resources including perennial plants and conspicuous wildlife (i.e., birds and some reptiles) commonly accepted as regionally sensitive by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS), the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFG), the USFWS, and the Final Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) will be recorded and digitized into a Geographic Information System (GIS) format and added to the Biological Resources Map. Concurrent with the vegetation mapping effort, we will identify any lands within the project area that may be under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), CDFW, and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) as waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Evidence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and channel hydrology will be reviewed, if present. Non -wetland waters of the U.S. will be delineated based on the limits of an ordinary high water mark (OHWM), saturation, permanence of surface water, wetland vegetation, and nexus to a traditional navigable water of the U.S. (TNW). The recent ACOE/EPA Rapanos Guidance states that the ACOE will regulate traditional, navigable waters of the U.S., adjacent wetlands, and relatively permanent waters (RPW) tributary to TNWs and adjacent wetlands. Non -navigable tributaries that are not relatively permanent waters (non-RPW) and wetlands adjacent to such tributaries are assessed on a case -by -case basis to determine whether they have a significant nexus to a traditional navigable water of the U.S. CDFW-jurisdictional riparian areas will be delineated to the limits of hydrophytic vegetation associated with stream channels; unvegetated stream channels under the jurisdiction of CDFW will be delineated to the limits of the stream bank, if present. Areas regulated by the RWQCB are generally coincident with the ACOE, but can include features isolated from navigable waters of the U.S. that have evidence of surface water inundation. All mapping will be done in the field directly on a 200-scale (1 inch = 200 feet) or finer base map with the project boundary, topographic or color aerial photograph base. Where feasible and necessary, boundaries and data station points will be delineated using a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit and later downloaded into ArcView. Following completion of the fieldwork, all jurisdictional polygons and line features will be digitized using ArcGIS software and a GIS coverage will be created. Once in ArcGIS, the acreage of each jurisdictional area will be determined. The results of the initial database review, literature review, and site reconnaissance will be incorporated into the Natural Environmental Study for Minimal Impacts (NES-MI). NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY FOR MINIMAL IMPACTS ..... . ... .... ....... ........ .... ................ .................. ............. In accordance with the latest Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) guidelines, the results of the initial site reconnaissance will be presented in a NES-MI. A NES-MI is prepared for projects having a Page 1 51 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel minimal effect on the environmental and typically describes the existing biological resources present on - site and how the proposed project may affect those resources. The NES-MI will include the following information: a detailed project description and history including a project purpose and need statement; a discussion of the survey methodology and adequacy including personnel and survey dates; a description of the environmental setting including the vegetation communities and sensitive biological resources present on -site; a discussion of proposed impacts, including an assessment of the significance of impacts; a discussion of avoidance and minimization measures; and a summary of the project's consistency with applicable conservation policies. The NES-MI will also include a discussion of the project's relationship to Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) efforts in the area. Proposed mitigation requirements for potential impacts to sensitive resources, including waters of the U.S. and special -status species, will be discussed in terms of city, state and federal laws and guidelines. Graphics will be prepared to illustrate the location of the site, the existing biological conditions and the proposed project impacts. The following assumptions are incorporated into this scope of work and cost estimate for the biological resources work: • A NES-MI is the appropriate document to characterize the project's impacts to biological resources. ■ This scope of work includes up to one round of revisions by City staff and one round of N? revisions by Caltrans, not to exceed eight hours total. Additional coordination �Iy with/incorporation of review comments from Caltrans beyond what is indicated is not �y�0 included in the scope of work described herein. Should revisions require additional time or if t k dditional rounds of revisions become necessary, an associated budget augment can be 01 ` arranged. �i • The results of the wetlands delineation will be incorporated into the NES-MI and that a HP D( separate Wetlands Delineation and Assessment Report will not be required by Caltrans. yr • Focused surveys for special -status plant and wildlife species are not included in this scope of work. However, if special status species were identified during the initial field survey, environmental document type might be updated to NES and revised work scope might be needed. • Dudek will utilize topographic map information provided by the City in GIS format, for incorporation into the base map information for the project. HISTORIC PROPERTIES SURVEY REPORT (HPSR) We will prepare the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the evaluation of project impact to any historic properties within and adjacent to the project area. We will work with Caltrans environmental cultural staff closely for the timely approval of APE. After we receive the approved APE, we will perform research to determine the existence of previously recorded historic properties within the project. Records and historical maps pertaining to historic resources will be searched at the Eastern Information Center, housed at the University of California, Riverside. Local historic preservation groups will also be Page 1 52 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel contacted by letter to solicit any information regarding historical properties within or immediately adjacent to the proposed project site. This background research will be required to provide brief contexts for evaluating potentially significant historic properties that may be affected by the proposed project. Survey findings will be fully documented on the appropriate State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Site Record Forms. Any historic properties observed will be photo documented and their location recorded. Project specific mitigation will be provided if impacts are identified. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT (ASR) (TO BE APPENDED TO THE HPSR) . ............ ........... ..... ............. ............ ......... ........... We will utilize the APE and conduct research effort to determine the existence of previously recorded archaeological resources. Records and historical maps pertaining to archaeology will be searched at the Eastern Information Center, housed at the University of California, Riverside. A record search for sacred lands will be requested from the Native American Heritage Commission. In addition, we will send subsequent letters to all Native Americans the Commission recommends be contacted to ascertain if known Native American archaeological resources are present within or immediately adjacent to the proposed project site. This background research will be required to provide brief contexts for evaluating potentially significant archaeological resources that may be affected by the proposed project. Research findings will be documented on the appropriate State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Site Record Forms. Any archaeological resources observed will be photo documented and their location recorded. Project specific mitigation will be provided if impacts are identified. PALEONTOLOGICAL IDENTIFICATION REPORT AND PALEONTOLOGICAL EVALUATION REPORT (PIR/PER) .........--. ........ ... We will utilize the APE and conduct search to determine the existence of previously recorded paleontological resources within the project boundaries. Records pertaining to paleontology will be searched at the Department of Earth Sciences, San Bernardino County Museum and in published sources. In addition, geological maps and paleontological literature will be reviewed. This background research will be required to provide brief contexts for evaluating potentially significant paleontological resources that may be affected by the proposed project. Findings will be fully documented on the appropriate State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Site Record Forms. Any paleontological resources observed will be photo documented and their location recorded. Project specific mitigation will be provided if impacts are identified. FINDING OF EFFECT REPORT (FOE) In consultation with Caltrans staff and State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), a Finding of Effect (FoE) report will be prepared which will "Concur on No Effect, No Adverse Effect with Standard Conditions." AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT ........... ... ----- ..... - -------- We will prepare air quality technical reports for the proposed project utilizing the significance thresholds in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) emissions -based thresholds, and applicable Caltrans and FHWA guidelines for air quality technical Page 1 53 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel reports. Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion applies to the air quality assessment in support of both the CEQA Initial Study and federal transportation conformity and NEPA analysis (if applicable) prepared for use by Caltrans. AIR QUALITY AND REGULATORY SETTING A discussion of local and regional climate, meteorology and topography as they affect the accumulation or dispersal of air pollutants will be presented in the air quality report. Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies responsible for air quality management will be identified and applicable federal, state, and local air quality policies, regulations, and standards will be summarized, specifically highlighting those measures that would be applicable to the proposed project. Current air quality conditions, including the attainment status with respect to California and federal ambient air quality standards, and recent trends in the project area will be described based on California Air Resources Board air quality monitoring data. CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS We will estimate emissions associated with the construction phase of the project using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) land use and air quality model or the Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD's Road Construction Emissions Model for linear projects. The emission estimates will be based on the scenario for each construction phase and other information provided by IDC and/or standardized approaches. We will then evaluate the significance of the construction emissions based on the SCAQMD significance criteria. It is assumed that the bridge replacement project will take less than 5 years to construct, and an evaluation of construction emissions or construction -related carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) hotspots would not be required under the federal Transportation Conformity regulations (40 CFR 93.123(c)(5)). OPERATIONAL IMPACTS We will address the operational impacts of the bridge project by determining conformity under the Transportation Conformity regulations (40 CFR 93.126) and a discussion of air quality impacts in accordance with the Caltrans guidance. In addition, we will evaluate qualitatively the potential for the project to result in elevated levels of carbon monoxide, referred to as CO "hotspots." The project is not anticipated to trigger the need for a PM10/PM2.S "hotspots" analysis because it would not meet the criteria regarding annual average daily trips and truck traffic. We will prepare the PM10 Interagency Consultation Form for submittal to the Southern California Association of Governments' Transportation Conformity Working Group to obtain concurrence about the exemption for a PM10/PM2.5 "hotspots" analysis. The form would be submitted to the working group by the City or other appropriate agency. If not otherwise exempt under FHWA guidance, we will also qualitatively evaluate the effects of mobile source air toxics (MSAT) using Caltrans and FHWA guidance. It is assumed that although the project would result in a potential increase in capacity, it will also alleviate congestion and improve the level of service, thus resulting in air quality benefits. Page 1 54 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel GREENHOUSE GASES To respond to the questions in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines related to greenhouse gases (GHGs), this section of the air quality technical report will consist of a brief description of global climate change and a summary of the scientific fundamentals and applicable regulatory measures. This assessment is primarily focused on the Initial Study because GHGs are not addressed under the Transportation Conformity regulation. In addition to the criteria pollutant emissions described above, We will estimate the GHG emissions associated with construction of the project. The estimated emissions will include, at a minimum, those associated equipment and motor vehicles used during construction. The operational GHG emissions will be evaluated in accordance with Caltrans guidance in its Initial Study/Environmental Assessment annotated outline. In addition, we will assess the significance of the project with respect to the Appendix G thresholds for the Initial Study; specifically, whether the implementation of the project would generate greenhouse gas emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment or would conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The SCAQMD has not established GHG significance thresholds that would apply to the proposed project; thus, we will work with the City, as the CEQA lead agency, to evaluate a representative GHG threshold for the proposed project. Our budget assumes that a simple emission -based threshold can be used. NOISE IMPACT ANALYSIS We will conduct a noise study of potential impacts to noise -sensitive land uses, using the noise standards and methodologies specified by the City of La Quinta and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) consistent with an Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), a Preliminary Environmental Assessment Report (PEAR), and draft and final Noise Study Report (NSR) and Noise Abatement Decision Report (NADR). The proposed project would result in an alteration in the horizontal / vertical roadway alignment and noise -sensitive land uses are in the vicinity. Thus, this project would be a Type 1 project as classified by Caltrans / FHWA Protocol. All Type 1 projects require an NSR and, if noise abatement is found to be feasible, a NADR. The noise analysis will be conducted in coordination with City of La Quinta and Caltrans District 8 environmental branch staff. The existing ambient noise environment will be characterized with up to six (6) noise measurements at noise -sensitive receiver locations (residential, nearby school / recreation facilities) adjacent to the project alignment. Potential short-term construction noise impacts on nearby noise -sensitive land uses will be evaluated based on construction equipment data to be provided by the project applicant and noise modeling methods developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Potential traffic noise impacts will be estimated using the FHWA's Traffic Noise Model (version 2.5), and preliminary project design information. The significance of noise impacts will be assessed based on the City of La Quinta, State and federal thresholds. If significant noise impacts are identified, mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level (such as temporary noise barriers during the noisiest phases of construction at Page 1 55 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel impacted locations) will be recommended. The environmental noise baseline and regulatory setting, results of the noise analysis, findings of potential effects and mitigation measures will be contained in a stand-alone technical report and summarized in the noise section of final environmental document. For the PEAR, the guidance contained in the PEAR Handbook will be utilized to document the local noise environment and nearby noise -sensitive land uses, list the assumptions made in preparing the report, and discuss possible impacts, and potential abatement measures. We will prepare an NSR addressing the requirements of 23CFR772 in accordance with guidance in the Protocol and following the noise analysis report format outlined in the Caltrans Technical Noise Supplement (TeNS) and the noise template in the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER). If warranted, the noise study report will include a preliminary noise abatement design to schematically identify the location, height, and extent of noise walls needed to abate noise impacts. If a NADR is required then a scope and cost for this work will be provided to the City and the engineering prime for approval prior to starting this work. PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT (ESA) �............. ............. IDC's sub consultant Geocon will provide this service. We will perform Hazardous Waste Initial Site Assessment (ISA) according to Caltrans guidelines and in general accordance with the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Designation E 1597-05, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments. Work to be conducted for the Phase I ESA is discussed below. • Perform a visual reconnaissance of the Site for indicators of hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or soil and/or groundwater impacts on the Site. The indicators referenced include, but are not limited to, 55-gallon drums, underground and aboveground storage tanks, chemical containers, waste storage and disposal areas, industrial facilities, discolored surface soil, electrical transformers that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and areas conspicuously absent of vegetation. • Perform a visual survey of the adjacent properties from the Site and from public thoroughfares to observe general types of existing land use surrounding the Site. • Review publicly -available historical sources of information pertaining to the Site and nearby properties. Such sources of information may include the following: aerial photographs, building permits, historical city directories, topographic maps, and Sanborn fire insurance maps. Research of these sources will be conducted from the present back to when the property first contained structures or was used for residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, or governmental purposes. • Conduct a search of federal, state, and local databases for the Site and surrounding area to obtain information regarding the potential presence of hazardous materials/wastes on the Site Page 1 56 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel or on properties located within the approximate distances specified by ASTM Standard Practice E 1527-05 and 40 CFR Part 312. The records searched will include registries or publicly available lists of recorded engineering and institutional controls, and recorded land use restrictions that may impact the Site. • Review reasonably obtainable regulatory agency files for the Site, if available, and/or properties in the vicinity of the Site whose environmental conditions might potentially impact the Site. • Contact local public agencies by telephone or in writing to acquire readily obtainable information regarding underground storage tank permits, building permits, agriculturally -related permits and violations, air emission permits and violations, source of water and method of sewage disposal, location and depth of nearest drinking water wells, and electrical transformers. The information will be obtained for the Site only. The agencies contacted may include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the local fire department, air pollution control agency, agriculture department, water and sewer agencies, and gas and/or electric utility companies. • Review documents provided by the City, and at the City's discretion. Potentially useful documents may include previously prepared geotechnical, geologic, and environmental reports; site plans; plot plans; tenant lists; and correspondence with regulatory agencies. We will obtain the following information/documentation for the Phase I ESA, if available from the City: information regarding liens recorded against the Site for environmental cleanup activities; documentation regarding any land use or activity limitations pertaining to the Site (e.g., building restrictions, water treatment systems); and any specialized knowledge pertaining to environmental conditions associated with the Site, based on the Client's knowledge of the Site or the area in which the Site is located. • Review and interpret U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps to obtain information relative to the topography and physical setting of the Site, and previous development and uses of the Site and properties within approximately 1/4-mile of the Site. • Conduct interviews by telephone or in writing with the current owner(s) and occupant(s) of the Site to evaluate if present or past occupants have used, generated, stored, or disposed of hazardous materials/wastes on -site. In order to obtain information regarding the past occupants and uses of the Site, it may be necessary for Geocon also to interview past owners and/or occupants of the Site. • Prepare a report summarizing the findings of the Phase I ESA. The report will qualitatively describe the potential for environmental impairment at the Site, by parcel. If necessary, the report will also provide recommendations for additional environmental services (e.g., a Phase II investigation), based on the findings of the Phase I ESA. The report will identify any "data gaps" (i.e., lack of or inability to obtain information required by ASTM Standard Practice E 1527-05 and 40 CFR Part 312). If the data gaps influence the ability of Geocon to render an opinion regarding the environmental condition of the Site, the report will comment on the significance of the data gap(s). Page 1 57 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel TRAFFIC STUDIES —TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN __........ -----... IDC's sub consultant Advantec will perform this task. Advantec's licensed Traffic engineer will prepare the traffic related studies including the Traffic Impact Study and Traffic Management Plan for the Dune Palms Bridge project. The study will examine existing and forecast future year conditions in the vicinity of the project area. The TMP will address traffic impact mitigation during construction. The future year conditions examined will be the project opening year and the project design year (20 years after opening, assumed to be 2040). Conditions examined will include the No Build and one Build alternative. The study will be prepared considering the Dune Palms Road Improvement project just north of the project location. We will coordinate with City staff and the PDT to develop an appropriate methodology for forecasting year 2040 volumes at the study locations, possibly utilize the SCAG RTP (regional) traffic model (or as the City requires) data to forecast year 2040 volumes. Intersections impacted by this project will also be addressed. Study results will be incorporated into CEQA and NEPA documents. COMMUNITY IMPACT ANALYSIS (CIA) .......... ....... . We will prepare a Community Impact Assessment (CIA) in accordance with FHWA's Technical Advisory T6640.8a and Caltrans Community Impact Assessment Handbook (1997). The CIA will evaluate the proposed project's socioeconomic impacts utilizing current demographics and current assessment parcel information. The CIA will provide a description of existing land use, housing, employment and population conditions near the project site. The effects analysis will address the residential population, local business community, including project impacts to the adjacent schools, neighborhoods, tax revenue loss and employment impacts. Socioeconomic impacts are not anticipated given that the project would not alter the existing alignment of Dune Palms Drive and the relatively small number of acquisition parcels. The CIA will also address the project's relationship with relevant local, regional and state regulations and plans and environmental justice considerations. WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS (WQA) ........... .. _ .... We will prepare a water quality analysis in the form of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for the project. The WQMP will be prepared per the requirements of the County Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) for the Whitewater River. The report will include a review of the current hydrologic setting, a review and summary of site drainage impacts, and a discussion of surface -water and groundwater resources and quality based on available data. We will use Federal Emergency Management Agency flood maps (available from the U.S. Geological Survey), available Regional Water Quality Control Board and Department of Water Resources data, the County SWMP, and topographic maps to discuss the current hydrologic setting. The report will identify potential changes in surface and ground water runoff and quality characteristics that could occur both during construction and over the long-term. Potential and anticipated pollutants that may be generated from the proposed project will be identified. Appropriate mitigation measures, including best management practices (BMPs) for construction and Page 1 58 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel post construction conditions, will be identified, as necessary, to address downstream impaired water bodies and to reduce potential project related impacts. The "Hydrology/Water Quality" checklist questions included in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines will be addressed as part of the hydrology and water quality impact analysis report. Dudek's environmental planners will work with hydrology technical experts to prepare a summary of the cumulative impacts associated with potential project impacts to water quality and hydrology conditions. FLOODPLAIN ENCROACHMENT REPORT .. We will prepare a Floodplain Evaluation Report using the Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report format in the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference. The report will be based on the hydraulic analysis data provided in the Hydraulic Engineering Design Report and will include the following items: Project Description ■ Alternatives to Floodplain Encroachment • Impacts of the project on: ➢ Incompatible Future Development ➢ Natural and beneficial Floodplain values ➢ Measures proposed to reduce floodplain impacts VISUAL IMPACT TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM (VTM) A Visual Technical Memorandum (VTM) will be prepared since the project has the potential to change the visual environment. In order to determine the level of study for the VTM, a preliminary evaluation is performed to determine if the project will cause any physical changes to the environment. This effort will include a site visit to inventory scenic resources of the project site, estimating potential changes to that character and identifying viewer groups and public concerns or opposition to the project. RELOCATION IMPACT MEMO/STUDY The proposed project will likely impact two properties that located at north side of the project. Full take acquisition might be necessary. If needed, we will prepare relocation Impact Memo per Caltrans guideline. TASK 1.1.4 ENVIORNMENTAL CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION (CE)/ INITIAL STUDY DRAFT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION . ...... .... ... ...... ...... .. ...... ....... .. ................ We will work with the City and Caltrans to draft a statement of NEPA purpose and need, along with the CEQA Project Objectives. Once Caltrans has approved the draft purpose and need and project objectives, we will also work with the City and Caltrans to identify the complete list of alternatives that meet the purpose and need to be carried forward for full analysis in the CE/IS. It is assumed that two alternatives would be identified and carried forward for analysis: no -bridge project and proposed bridge project. We will prepare the CE/IS per Caltrans, FHWA and City guidelines, utilizing the technical Page 1 59 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel information prepared for each technical study. We will submit this work product to the City and Caltrans for review. FINAL PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION ............... ........ . ......... .... ..........__.,,... We will incorporate the City and Caltrans' comments into the Environmental Evaluation. SCREENCHECK DRAFT CE/IS .-..-...-.. ... .... ..... .. ..... .. We will incorporate the City and Caltrans' comments and prepare the Screencheck Draft CE/IS for the City and Caltrans' final review. The CE/IS will determine whether effects are significant, identify mitigation measures if applicable and determine whether mitigation will reduce impacts to a level below significance. We will provide the CE/IS to the City and Caltrans for review and comment. DRAFT CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION/INITIAL STUDY ....... ... ... We will prepare the CE/IS for public review. We will prepare the public notices. We will prepare up to 15 hard copies of the CE/IS and up to 25 CDs of the document. We will coordinate the preparation of the distribution list with the City and Caltrans. It is assumed that the City and/or Caltrans will distribute all documents per their guidelines for public review. Responses to comments and approaches will be discussed with the City and Caltrans. The communication will be documented and appended to the CE/IS. We would also prepare the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) sheet for attachment to the CE/IS. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM/ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENTS RECORD ........ ... ... ...... .... ........... We will prepare a mitigation monitoring plan/environmental commitments record, including monitoring forms to assist the City in implementing the mitigation measures contained in the MND. FINAL ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD .....-- _._...-- _. Prior to Caltrans action on the CatEx and City action on the MND, we will assist the City and Caltrans prepare the appropriate findings and Administrative Record. Although likely dependent on a determination by Caltrans/FHWA, we assume that a Categorical Exclusion will be prepared. We would also prepare the Notice of Determination for submittal to the Riverside County Clerk's Office to ensure compliance with CEQA. TASK 1.2 PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING TASK 1.2.1 AVAILABLE EXISTING DATA We will obtain available existing project data such as as -built plans, Adams Street Bridge design engineering and environmental documents, utility plans, parcel maps, Dune Palms Road Widening project documents and other planning documents that have association with the current proposed Page 1 60 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel project. We will make recommendation for project files can be utilized for this project as well as identify all impacted elements that must be addressed for the design of this project. TASK 1.2.2 AERIAL AND FIELD SURVEY This task will be provided by IDC's sub consultant DEA. DEA will provide aerial and field survey along Dune Palms Road and includes 500 lineal feet at from both bridge approaches and approximately 4,000 lineal feet (both 2,000 feet up and downstream of the structure) of the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel. Scope of the work include: SURVEY CONTROL .._......�..... _..... ... DEA will field locate adequate cadastral monuments in the project area to establish record centerline and right of way. DEA Survey crews will set aerial photogrammetric in conformance with the aerial flight plan. Where possible, these targets will be centered on existing cadastral monuments. Where no such monument is found, the surveyors will set a semi -permanent monument to define the center of the target. All surveying and mapping for this project will be completed in English units of measurement. Horizontal datum for this mapping control will be the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Vertical datum will be the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). PHOTOGRAMMETRIC MAPPING _............. — DEA will obtain COLOR aerial photography of the proposed site at a nominal photo scale of 1"=300' (1:3,600) with 1 flight line which will be used to generate a 1" = 40' mapping with 1 foot contour intervals. TIE-IN SURVEYS DEA will provide field surveys for existing pavement elevations. The field shots will be obtained using a terrain line interpolation method by obtaining shots along individual feature lines approximately at 50- foot intervals at adjacent intersection locations. FIELD SURVEYS ..-......._........._...-.................................... DEA will gather all existing roadway and utility features within the project limit that will be impacted by the proposed project. Project base map will be prepared in the scale of 1"=40' submitted to IDC to be used in Design. 3D surface file (DTM) will be provided to be utilized in roadway design. TASK 1.2.3 GEOTECHNICAL REPORT This task of work will be provided by IDC's sub consultant Geocon. Geocon will perform a subsurface geotechnical investigation in support of the design of the bridge and associated improvements as described above. Based on our understanding of the proposed project we recommend the following scope of work: Page 1 61 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel • Mark the proposed boring locations and notify Underground Service Alert (USA) to locate and mark utilities in the proposed investigation area. Further, the Client/City of La Quinta should provide plans or field locations of existing subsurface utilities prior to our exploration. ■ Obtain encroachment permits to drill the borings as requested. We understand that the City of La Quinta will issue a "no -fee" permit for work within their right-of-way. The plans included with the RFP indicate that the crossing through the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel is within the right-of-way of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), and we understand that a permit will be needed to drill within their right-of-way. The CVWD Permit requires a permit fee and a 30-day review period. We will prepare traffic control plans and a proposed boring location map for the permit submittals. • Excavate seven borings along the bridge alignment utilizing a truck -mounted CME 75 hollow - stem auger drill rig. Two borings will be advanced to a depth of about 50 feet in the area of the abutments. Three borings will be advanced to a depth of about 120 feet in the area of the bents. 2 borings will be advanced to depths of about 20 feet where the roadways are being improved or other improvements are planned on the north and south sides of the bridge site. The borings will be logged in accordance with Caltrans requirements and soil samples will be collected throughout the drilling process. Borings will be backfilled with native soil cuttings. (Borings can be backfilled with bentonite at an additional cost. This proposal does not include drumming, profiling, and removal of soil cuttings from the boring locations.) • Perform laboratory tests on selected soil samples which may include in -situ moisture and density determinations, grain size distribution, corrosion testing, consolidation/collapse potential, direct shear, maximum density and optimum moisture content. The final laboratory testing program will be based on our observations during the field exploration. • Prepare a written Preliminary Foundation Report presenting our findings and conclusions and preliminary recommendations regarding the bridge replacement and associated temporary and permanent improvements. This report will be used for the preliminary foundation design and the Type Selection Report. The report will also include locations of exploratory borings and results of laboratory testing, and the report will be presented in Caltrans format with the required Log of Test Borings. The report will include a discussion of geotechnical design parameters for the new bridge foundations, recommendations for the retaining walls at the bridge approaches, foundation bearing capacity, settlement, slope grading recommendations, and pavement design recommendations based on the R-Value testing. • Prepare a written Final Foundation report presenting our findings and conclusions and final recommendations regarding the bridge replacement and associated temporary and permanent improvements. In conjunction with the Phase II portion of the project and preparation of the construction plans and specifications. The report will be presented in Page 1 62 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Caltrans format with the required Log of Test Borings and will include a discussion of geotechnical design parameters for the new bridge foundations, recommendations for the retaining walls at the bridge approaches, foundation bearing capacity, settlement, slope grading recommendations, and pavement design recommendations based on the R-Value testing. TASK 1.2.4 PRELIMINARY STREET PLAN AND PROFILE We will prepare the preliminary (or concept) level plans for the project. The preliminary plans will indicate the proposed widening concept for Dune Palms Road and how the improvement will tie in to existing and future proposed improvements, the proposed lane configurations, median curbs, curb and gutter, preliminary ROW impacts, etc. The preliminary plans will show existing topography, existing utilities based upon applicable utility owners' records, highlight utility conflicts and required relocations, property line data, and most importantly, details of the proposed street improvements plan and profile information. Any recommended notes as well as any details showing quantities and special construction items will be included. Title sheet, general notes, cross -sections, data tables, and other features will be addressed in the final design submittal stage. TASK 1.2.5 WHITEWATER RIVER CHANNEL HYDRAULICS Dudek will evaluate design alternatives to determine the flood control value of keeping and enhancing the existing low water roadway crossing at Dune Palms or removing the low water crossing as a part of this project. The existing roadway could be modified to provide an effective hydraulic grade control structure on the downstream side of the proposed Dune Palms Bridge. There are several existing grade control structures both upstream and downstream of this project site on the Whitewater River. It is well documented that grade control structures can provide a very valuable benefit to bridge construction by reducing flow velocities and controlling flow hydraulics, reducing toe -down depth requirements, reducing expected bridge structure erosion/scour damage, and reducing grading requirements. CHANNEL HYDRAULICS ...... Dudek will perform a site visit to collect field data spanning 3,000-ft upstream and downstream of the existing Dune Palms crossing of the Whitewater River for use in the channel hydraulic modeling. The data that is collected will include floodplain Manning's "N" values, floodplain land use, existing facilities and structures, soil characteristics, ground cover characteristics, erosion and sedimentation patterns, channel stability, condition of existing reinforced concrete slope lining at tie-in locations, existing storm drain facilities, and existing utilities. Dudek will obtain a copy of an existing Whitewater River HEC-RAS model and modify it as necessary for this project and the project study area. The existing model will be verified against the project topographic mapping and site visit data for consistency with the existing conditions. Dudek will obtain 100-yr and SPF design discharge values and hydrographs (if available) from CVWD to use in the hydraulic modeling. Dudek will also request Whitewater River FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), Flood Insurance Studies (FIS), and backup data from the FEMA library and review to assess the project impacts on the current floodplain mapping. Page 1 63 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel CHANNEL ROUGHNESS ANALYSIS A key parameter controlling hydraulic performance of a gravity flow channel system is channel roughness. Dudek will prepare an analysis of the parameters contributing to channel roughness in the Whitewater River using Cowan's Method. With input from CVWD and the City of La Quinta, this analysis will be used to develop an acceptable range of Manning's "n" values that can be applied to the Whitewater River to represent seasonal variation in vegetative growth and maintenance activities within the floodplain. The developed range of Manning's "n" values will be used to perform a sensitivity analysis in evaluating the final bridge design. Hydraulic Analyses - Dudek will develop detailed HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling of the Whitewater River for the existing condition and each Dune Palm Road bridge/crossing alternative design. The geometric data for the floodplain analyses will be based upon project topographic mapping supplemented with field surveyed cross section data. The models will extend a minimum of 3,000 feet upstream of Dune Palm to include Adams Street and 3,000 feet downstream to include Jefferson Street. These existing bridges and grade control structures make effective hydraulic controls for hydraulic modeling. Using the HEC-RAS model provided by CVWD as a starting point, an existing condition model will be prepared to represent the "baseline" for comparison to the proposed design(s). The existing condition model will establish the baseline hydraulic parameters/water surface profile and average flow hydraulics representing the Whitewater River response to a 100-yr and SPF flow event as it stands today. Proposed condition alternative models will be prepared for each alternative to determine the hydraulic performance and effects of the proposed bridge structure(s) and flood control improvements to the Whitewater River in response to a 100-yr and SPF flow event. The channel and bridge hydraulic model results will be used to verify that the minimum flood control performance standards for freeboard, toe burial depth, and erosion/sedimentation control are consistent with local, state, and federal requirements (City of La Quinta, CVWD, Caltrans, FHWA, and FEMA). FINAL HYDRAULIC MODEL After the Bridge Type selection and Final Improvement Plans are complete an updated hydraulic analysis of the Whitewater River and the proposed bridge crossing will be prepared based on the recommended layout and geometry in the Bridge Type Selection Report and consistent with the Final Improvement Plans. A hydraulic sensitivity analysis will be performed to evaluate the Whitewater River, the proposed Dune Palm Bridge structure, and the proposed channel improvements under varied levels of vegetative growth and intensity of maintenance activities. BRIDGE SCOUR ANALYSIS Constructing bridge piers, bridge abutments, and other structures in the flow path of a river or channel is known to result in localized scour caused by the turbulent flow conditions created by these structures. The service life of the bridge can be drastically shortened by both long term river grade adjustment and single event bridge scour/erosion. In order to properly evaluate and mitigate the potential aggradation/scour that can result from constructing a structure in the river flow path several analyses must be conducted to estimate the maximum total scour, including (1) long term vertical channel Page 1 64 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel adjustment through aggradation or degradation, (2) contraction scour, and (3) local scour. After the total aggradation/scour potential is determined then, a plot of the total aggradation/scour envelope within the bridge channel section is prepared to and identify the required channel protection measures and design depths for the bridge improvements. The design recommendations will be based upon the effects of the local stability of the stream caused by the encroachment of the bridge within the waterway and the associated mitigation measures. LONG TERM SCOUR/AGGRADATION POTENTIAL Dudek will perform a qualitative analysis of the long-term aggradation/degradation potential of Whitewater River based upon previous studies to establish bridge foundation requirements and grade control needs. The analysis will be conducted based upon the April 2012 version of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) publication, HEC-20, Stream Stability at Highway Structures procedures. The result of the analysis will reveal the potential long term aggradation /degradation of the Whitewater River at the Dune Palm crossing. This qualitative analysis will include a Level-1 Qualitative Assessment and Level-2 Basic Engineer Analysis. A Level-3 mathematical and physical model is not included. BRIDGE SCOUR .......... .............� _ ........_.-_.... Dudek will analyze the potential local channel adjustment/scour in the vicinity of the bridge due to the bridge structure, geometry, piers, and abutments. The local scour analysis will follow the procedures and guidelines outlined in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) publication, HEC-18, Evaluating Scour at Bridges. The evaluation will include the application of various empirical relationships and the hydraulic analyses to quantify the total expected scour depth and geometry based upon (1) pier scour, (2) contraction scour, and (3) abutment scour. Pier scour will also be evaluated using the Blench Regime Equation (per USDA NRCS Manual Part 654 Stream Restoration Design National Engineering Handbook Chapter 9, and ASCE Manual 54) for consistency with CVWD design criteria. Dudek will prepare a design report titled; Hydraulic Engineering Design Report for Dune Palm Bridge over the Whitewater River. The report will include the information and data used in the analysis and design of the proposed river/channel improvements associated with the Dune Palm Bridge project. The report exhibits will include a Hydraulic Model Workmap to show the location of the hydraulic model cross sections, alternative bridge configurations, topographic mapping, relevant land features, proposed improvements, and the resultant floodplain limits for the 100-yr and SPF events. The expected Table of Contents of the report is provided below. Dudek will provide a pdf copy of the final report and exhibits, and digital copies of the approved HEC-RAS hydraulic models on a flash drive for the City of La Quinta and CVWD. TASK 1.2.6 BRIDGE AESTHETIC STUDY IDC's sub consultant DEA will perform this task. DEA will develop various visual ideas that are consistence with the community design goals. The study will begin with extensive dialogue with community development and economic development Page 1 65 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel departments as well as active community participation and CVAG.

A bid ready items check list will be prepared. We will utilize the checklist to track readiness throughout this phase. TASK 2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING TASK 2.1.1 PRE -APPLICATION CONSULTATION One of the keys to ensuring resource agency concurrence on the project and expedited permit issuance is a successful pre -application consultation with the relevant agencies. A pre -application consultation allows Dudek and the City to present the proposed project to agency staff and ensure that they understand the nature of the project, as well as any proposed avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures. Because the project involves the replacement of an existing low water crossing with a span bridge, some functions and values associated with a natural stream bottom are expected to be restored. The pre -application meeting will allow discussion with resource agencies regarding restoration of functions and values and any mitigation credit that may be received by the City for the project. Prior to the meeting, Ms. Riggs will prepare an agenda for City review and bring copies of the agenda for all participants in the meeting. She will provide meeting minutes to the City for review. Upon approval from City, the minutes will be submitted to all key members of the project team, including the regulatory agency staff. DELIVERABLES: • Pre -application consultation meeting minutes • Copies and/or summaries of all agency correspondence. TASK 2.1.2 REGULATORY PERMIT APPLICATIONS Dudek will organize the following permit applications and materials for ACOE, RWQCB, and CDFW in application binders with tabs for each document type to facilitate quick review by agency staff. 404 NATIONWIDE PERMIT AUTHORIZATION _....................... ..... _.. A written request for Authorization under the 404 NWP program will be prepared for review by the City and submittal to the USACE. The request for a NWP generally includes: • Detailed description of the proposed project. • Detailed description of the jurisdictional areas to be impacted by the proposed project. (This is generally accomplished by submittal of the Natural Environmental Study — Minimal Impact (NES- MI) report, which includes a delineation of state and federal jurisdictional waters). • Discussion of approvals and certifications being obtained from other federal, state, or local agencies. • Conceptual Restoration plan. The conceptual plan involves a brief description of the mitigation proposal in the permit applications. • The Streambed Alteration Notification package submitted to the CDFW. • The request to the RWQCB for water quality certification. Page 1 69 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel • Natural Environmental Study — Minimal Impact (NES-MI) report for the site. This information will be used by the USACE to determine whether federal endangered or threatened species exist within the project site that might require Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife (USFWS). This scope assumes that formal Section 7 consultation with USFWS for take of federal endangered or threatened species or their habitats and/or critical habitat will not be required. • Historic Properties Survey Report (HPSR) for the project, which includes the Archaeological Survey Report (ASR). The USACE cultural resources specialist, Steve Dibble, is expected to review the report and ensure that the tribal consultation or consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is not required. No onsite resources that are listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places are expected to be located within the project footprint, therefore, this scope of work does not include formal SHPO consultation or formal tribal coordination. Although not expected, if the USACE District Engineer determines that the project would result in a significant adverse impact to the aquatic environment, then an Individual Permit (IP) would be required. The average processing time for an Individual Permit (IP) from the USACE is currently six to eight months, not including the time necessary to prepare the application. The preparation and processing of an IP has not been included in this scope of work and budget and will be provided to the City, if necessary 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION ......... Section 401 of the CWA requires that any discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the U.S., including wetlands, not violate state water quality standards. Water quality certification must be obtained as a condition of Section 404 of the CWA before ACOE will issue the 404 NWP. A written request for a Section 401 Water Quality Certification will be submitted to the RWQCB, based on the results of the pre -application coordination effort. The 401 Water Quality Certification request generally includes the following items: • A completed application form • A detailed project description • A description of project impacts • A description of best management practices provided by the City to avoid erosion and sedimentation or discharge of materials into storm water • A discussion of the approvals being obtained from other federal, state, and local agencies • A description of the proposed mitigation for impacts to federal waters and wetlands. • The draft CEQA document (a final CEQA document and Notice of Determination must be submitted prior to permit issuance) • The application fee assessed using the RWQCB Dredge and Fill Fee Calculator (to be assessed by Dudek and provided by the City). Page 1 70 Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dune Palms Road Low Water Crossing Replacement at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Pursuant to the State Permit Streamlining Act, the RWQCB has 30 days following receipt of the 401 application to deem an application complete or request additional information. Following a determination that the application is complete and submittal of the Final CEQA document, the RWQCB has an additional 60 days to issue the 401 Water Quality Certification. Typically, our strategy is to submit the 401 application 60 to 90 days before the CEQA document is scheduled to be adopted to ensure that the RWQCB adheres to the state -mandated timeframes. Frequent and ongoing coordination with the RWQCB will ensure that all issues are resolved and conditions of the 401 certification are agreed upon during the CEQA process. This strategy and our relationships with RWQCB staff will ensure that the draft 401 certification can be issued immediately following submittal of the CEQA Notice of Completion. 1602 STREAMBED ALTERATION AGREEMENT The proposed project is expected to result in impacts to waters of the state, under the jurisdiction of CDFW. Therefore, the project will require a Section 1602 SAA. Dudek will prepare the SAA application for submittal to CDFW (Inland Deserts, Region 6). The notification generally includes the following items: • A completed notification form • A detailed project description • A description of project impacts • A discussion of the approvals and certifications being obtained from other federal, state, and local agencies • A description of the proposed mitigation • The draft CEQA document (a final CEQA document and Notice of Determination must be submitted prior to permit issuance) • SAA application fee using the January 2010 fee schedule (to be assessed by Dudek and provided by the City). CDFW is a state agency like the RWQCB; therefore, under the state Permit Streamlining Act, when the term of the requested agreement is 5 years or less, CDFW has 30 days following receipt of the 1602 application to deem an application complete or request additional information. Following a determination that the application is complete and submittal of the final CEQA document, CDFW has an additional 60 days to issue the draft 1602 SAA for review/signature by the City. DELIVERABLES: • Five (5) Regulatory Permit Binders, including all applications and submitted materials (one for ACOE, one for CDFW, one for RWQCB, one for Dudek, and one for the City) TASK 2.2 FINAL DESIGN STREET IMPROVEMENT PLANS We will prepare the roadway improvement plans for the project.
