COVER LETTERJune 4, 2020 Danny Castro Design and Development Director City of La Quinta 78-495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92247-1504 RE: Proposal for City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Form Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services Dear Mr. Castro, With the adoption of the Highway 111 Complete Streets Plan, the City of La Quinta has generated no- table momentum towards establishing Highway 111 as a vibrant mixed-use corridor. The Plan lays out a compelling vision that reflects the community’s desires for a new type of “place” along this corridor. This vision presents an invitation to shop, live, work, and play within one interconnected space, accessible via Highway 111 and the CV Link and Cultural Trail multi-use paths. We are very excited about the Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services project as it presents significant opportunity to contribute to the City’s evolution and help reshape the existing surrounding urban form. We understand that the planning and design effort must go well be- yond the street right of way and establish a unifying blueprint for an entirely new urban fabric. Evidenced by our track record in La Quinta, GHD is committed to working closely with the City to implement transporta- tion projects aimed at reimagining and revitalizing streetscapes and neighborhoods.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 7 La Quinta was seeking to improve their pedestrian and bicycle safety with the use of roundabouts. The goal was to transform three heavily vehi- cle-dominated corridors with three parks, an elementary school, and other destinations into pedestrian, bicycle, and neighborhood electric vehi- cle-friendly complete streets with five roundabouts. GHD provided the preliminary costs estimates, cost/benefit analysis, and assisted with preparation of the conceptual design, and assisted with the preparation of various narrative responses for the Cycle 3 Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant application. The project will provide three complete street corridors that include five roundabouts, a road diet that reduced travel lanes to provide bicycle lanes, and various pedestrian crossing improvements. The roundabouts will reduce the four-lane facilities to two lanes and close gaps in existing bicycle facilities by providing Class II bicycle lanes and shared-use paths. The drainage improvements for the project include mitigating the 150-year event and decreasing flood risks in areas near the roundabout intersections. GHD provided storm water quality Low Impact Development (LID) design and flood mitigation via a detention basin to reduce the flooding impacts and enhance water quality treatment to the maximum extent practicable, while reusing existing infrastructure. Services included: • Complete and Green Street • LID and Storm Water Quality • Flood Attenuation of the 150-year Event • Road Diet • Roundabouts • Utility Relocation • Roadway Lighting La Quinta Complete Street/Road Diet Project, La Quinta, CA Reference Bryan McKinney City Engineer City of La Quinta 78495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 1 760 777 7045 Date 2017 - Ongoing 2. STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 8 GHD developed a transformative vision study for Civic Center Canberra at the heart of the capital city by designing a mixed-use development integrating an underground bus and light rail transit center, which will drive deeper analysis and investment. Project planning and detailed design was performed by our Irvine urban planning and transportation teams, while traffic and transit use analysis was performed by GHD in Canberra. Retail, housing, offices, media production studios, transit/active mobility uses, and a new public realm were all prepared together for analysis of impacts, costs, constructability, and market readiness. By using building layers to coordinate circulation and other uses, we were able to determine the leasable yields that balanced the needs of transit/ public realm improvements. To meet Canberra’s vision for active transportation in 2040 and transit capacity in 2066, GHD reimagined uses and facilities for the entire neighborhood such as a street accessible termi- nal for shared and active mobility, a public droneport, and more. We are proceed- ing to the next stage for submission to the Treasury for approval. The study has already inspired surrounding theatre and placemaking projects to link by design across the district. Almost completed, the Imola Avenue Corridor Complete Streets Improvement Plan will provide NVTA, the City/County of Napa, and Caltrans with a flexible and achievable road map to create a safer, more accessible multimodal corri- dor for the community. The corridor extends 3.5 miles and includes align- ments within Caltrans right of way (SR 121). The goal of the corridor plan is to meet the diverse needs of the residential neighborhoods, businesses, and destinations and implement the community vision for a vibrant, complete street. The solutions require context-sensitive solutions that adapt to the char- acter on each segment and block. The plan presents the project overview, summarizes previous planning efforts and community outreach, and outlines a bold vision statement with supporting goals that recommend corridor improvements. Improvement concepts are presented in a graphically-rich lay- out that walks readers through the corridor. A strategic plan prioritizes improvements, assesses benefits, and identifies funding sources suitable for design and construction of the improvements.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 9 The Downtown Redding area suffers from a lack of multi-modal transportation connectivity, primarily in the core street network. Safety associated with non-motorized travel is also a primary concern. GHD prepared a transporta- tion plan that included the following components: • Robust community participation essential for the planning process including a dynamic and user-friendly website, stakeholder communications database, workshops, and stakeholder meetings. • Develop a safe and secure system of Class I, II, III, and IV bicycle facilities and sidewalks connecting natural resources and link regional parks, residential, schools and commercial, including the core downtown area. • Recommendations for encouraging transit use to and from Downtown, accommodating bicycle travel, and encouraging walking • Developed and presented strategies for creating connectivity through and between the downtown area and Sacramento River Trail System • Developed strategies for the balance of sustainable parking facilities and encou-rage other modes of travel • Opportunities for green infrastructure, including addressing stormwater runoff and a urban street tree plan • Strategy for effective implementation of the new vision GHD redeveloped a two-mile segment of East Broadway to create a multimodal street that will improve overall mobility and the quality of life for area residents. The segment started just east of downtown at Alamitos Avenue ending at Redondo Avenue. The before-project conditions were a four-lane undivided roadway with no left-turn lanes and a two-lane roadway with two-way left-turn lanes. The project converted it to a two-lane roadway with left-turn lanes at each signalized inter- section, cycle tracks (on-street bicycle lanes), and side boarding island transit stops (in-street raised refuge islands dedicated to waiting and boarding areas for transit pas- sengers). All this created a “complete street” that is safe and accessible. The project addressed transit facilities locations, public outreach, pavement design, coordination with multiple agencies, roadway profile improvements, Americans with Disabilities (ADA) compliance, and improving a steep roadway cross-slope due to abandoned/ buried railroad tracks and existing develop- ment throughout the segment.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 10 The City of Fairfield developed the Heart of Fairfield Plan (HOFP), which envisioned a transformation of the Downtown and West Texas Street areas. The City used community input to develop the HOFP to guide decisions and investment in the area. The HOFP identified numerous complete streets techniques and guide- lines for the proposed reconfiguration of W. Texas Street, between Beck and Pennsylvania Avenues, to balance the existing context with the future vision and the need for phased improvements to match funding availability and development stimulus. GHD prepared the initial feasibility study for private funding opportunities with planned area redevelopment. The concepts include implementation of bicycle facilities, pedestrian and motor vehicle safety, a opportunities and constraints comparison, evaluation/alternatives of the roadway reconfiguration of a five-lane street section, and intersection control for both traffic signal and roundabout upgrades. GHD has produced a variety of financing option study documents, transportation corridor study technical memorandum and four plan line concepts and analysis of construc- tion phasing and grant funding opportunities, including for ATP, HSIP, and urban greening. GHD is currently assisting the City with grant writing for cur- rent funding opportunities.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 11 As part of a multidisciplinary consultant team, LWC was hired by the City of Compton to complete the Blue Line Artesia Station Transit- Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan. The current development pattern around the station features industrial uses, “big-box” stores with underutilized park- ing lots, high volume and high speed traffic on surrounding roads, and a lack of pedestrian connectivity. The City envisions the Artesia station as an inte- gral component of a vibrant mixed-use area with connectivity to existing employment centers, educational and civic institutions and increased rider- ship on the Blue Line. LWC identified where and how the existing regulations impede the promotion of higher density, transit- supportive land uses, inte- gration of nearby riparian habitat, open-space and recreational amenities, and multi-modal access and connectivity. LWC then developed a Transit Overlay Zone (TOZ), which supplements the zoning regulations to implement the Preferred Scenario for the Blue Line Specific Plan. The new TOZ includes revised development regulations to pro- mote new revenue-generating commercial uses supported by medium to high density residential land uses, reduced parking requirements, additional regulations to ensure pedestrian oriented frontage design and placement, and integration of open space. LWC also amended the City’s day- care facilities regulations to be compliant with State law. Transit-Oriented Development Specific Plan and Transit Overlay Zone - Compton Blue Line Artesia Station, Compton, CA Reference Robert Delgadilo Senior Planner City of Compton 205 South Willowbrook Avenue Compton, CA 90220 1 310 605 5532 Date July 2016 - Ongoing LWC was hired by the City of Hayward to lead the update the South Hayward BART/Mission Boulevard and Mission Boulevard Corridor Form- Based Codes. As part of the project, LWC conducted a thorough code-re- view to identify internal inconsisten- cies and developed a recommended approach to streamline the docu- ments and make them easier to use, understand, and administer. The updated regulations facilitate new development to transform the Mission Boulevard corridor into a vibrant, pedestrian- and transit- oriented mixed- use place and ensure high-quality public spaces, and encourage a variety of building types and uses including housing, retail, and office space. The revised Code combines the two Codes into one unifying document to regu- late the boulevard and includes updated and simplified frontage type, build- ing form, large site, and land use standards; as well as new procedures to streamline the approval process. These new elements will be updated as needed to implement the principles of urbanism, planning, and smart growth, consistent with the community vision. The overarching goal is to achieve better implementation of the Hayward 2040 General Plan and the City’s Economic Development Strategy Plan through clear and consistent rules and regulations.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 13 Our proposal to provide Highway 111 Corridor Form- Based Code Planning Services and Engineering Services represents the first implementation step towards achieving the vision of the Highway 111 Corridor Plan. The work phases outlined in the re- quest for proposals demonstrate a proactive, yet measured approach towards that implementation. Because this project will greatly influence the im- plementation momentum of the entire Highway 111 Corridor Plan, it truly demands a multidisciplinary team of experts in taking the goals and vision of the plan through to reality - which is exactly what you will get with the GHD and Lisa Wise Consulting (LWC) team. Our team will identify and address possible challenges towards implementation of the Corridor Plan vision by providing a realistic phased approach to transform Highway 111 into a vibrant community and complete street corridor. This project will assess and demonstrate application of the first form-based code in the City. Therefore, it is critical that this project be driven by a team that understands and can explain the complexities involved in establishing a form-based zoning code to decision makers. This phase will be led by LWC, a national leader in writing form-based codes. LWC have worked with more than 21 jurisdictions on form-based code projects. LWC will include a demonstration of how the code would apply to a demonstration site, how the code would benefit that site, and what regulatory amendments or repeals would be necessary to implement the code at that site. The results of this phase will in turn inform whether form- based code will be beneficial and im- plementable along the entire corridor. The complete streets corridor con- cepts illustrated in the corridor plan are aspirational. Phase 2, led by GHD, will ensure these aspirations are achiev- able from a planning and engineer- ing perspective. The design concepts produced in the second phase of the project must consider real-world phys- ical constraints and possibly modi- fy, if needed, elements of the corridor plan vision to deliver a viable complete streets project. This phase will daylight the tradeoffs of implementing proposed improvements, quantify- ing changes to traffic operations, changes to how visitors access existing businesses, and changes to the safety and comfort levels of all corridor users. Improvement benefits will be monetized in a benefit/ cost calculation to illustrate return-on-investment for this corridor. This phase will serve as a foundational building block for further design in Phase 3, also led by GHD. It is critical that these concept designs are prepared by a team well versed in preparing improve- ment plans for construction. Once the feasibility of complete streets improve- ments along the corridor has been demonstrated in Phase 2, Phase 3 will continue the implementation path of the corridor plan. The Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant application will heavily draw on the analyses and design prepared in Phase 2, includ- ing demonstration of a positive return-on-investment. The ATP grant application process, which now re- quires Project Study Report (PSR) equivalent design, will be able to proceed confidently having established a realistic design, potential conflicts and constraints, and consistency with the community’s vision, as doc- umented in the corridor plan’s out- reach process. Phase 3 also seeks preparation of engineered Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E). Acknowledging that the corridor improvements may not realistically be implemented in one fell swoop, Phase 3 will be based on the more realistically developable demonstra- tion site selected in Phase 1 and the complete streets improvements that will support it. Lastly, Phase 4 seeks a full form- based code to be developed for the City, provided the results of preced- ing phases demonstrate the bene- fits and viability of doing so. Phase 4, led by LWC, will bring all preced- ing phases of this project, including the corridor plan itself, into a single holistic regulatory framework that will guide implementation of the vision for years to come. Phase 4, in this sense, represents the culmination preparing the Highway 111 Corridor Plan for full implementation, from public realm to private realm, cohesively. Project Understanding 3. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 14 Approach We have carefully tailored our approach to this proj- ect to match our understanding of what the City needs to obtain from this effort. We are proposing a close collaboration with LWC to complete this mul- tidisciplinary effort. GHD has successfully teamed with LWC in the past, and our firms are both strongly committed to helping the City succeed in moving the Highway 111 Corridor Plan vision closer towards im- plementation. Our combined approach is grounded in extensive coordination with City staff, civic lead- ers, and community members, as well as thorough, transparent, and objective research and analysis. Our team has experience not only applying, but also shaping industry best practices, from form-based code to complete streets transportation design. Form-Based Code Approach Each LWC form-based code project is unique, and reflects the vision, character, and economic realities of the specific community. Each effort also reflects our philosophy that form-based codes should be vi- able, context-based, prescriptive, flexible, and clear. LWC’s approach to zoning relies on an understand- ing of the interrelation of visioning, policy-direction, and effective implementation. LWC’s approach is based on knowledge and experience applying zoning and implementation tools with focus on progressive, place-based analyses and standards. We will begin our code proj- ect with targeted research of existing development patterns, test the draft form-based stan- dards on the ability to achieve the community vision, and en- sure desired results are feasible. LWC understands that form- based code is often the most effective and elegant strategy to implement a community vision, but that they are novel and often misunderstood. As such, we prioritize community involvement and for- mal and informal education, and training to achieve community, Planning Commission, and City Council buy-in and approval. Transportation Planning and Design Approach Just as each form-based code project is unique, so is each transportation planning and design project. The Highway 111 Corridor Plan vision is unique in that it seeks to build safe, comfortable active trans- portation facilities and connections adjacent to a major high-volume regional transportation corridor. GHD understands the need to balance the compet- ing roles and priorities of these somewhat conflicting street purposes. Our approach is to quantify pre- and post-project operational, safety, and mobility conditions of the corridor against applicable perfor- mance measures like Level of Service (LOS), Vehicles Miles Travelled (VMT), bicycle and pedestrian Level of Traffic Stress (LTS), transit service, and collision re- duction potential. Defensible and transparent analy- sis of the project builds stakeholder confidence in our approach, particularly with respect to any possible impacts to any potential quality-of-service trade-offs between travel modes. Building on this data-driven approach, GHD will work with the City to identify project selection, prioritization, and phasing criteria. These often include stakeholder and community driven criteria weighting factors. Any criteria that can be monetized will be using defensible economic parameters (such as Caltrans’) to monetize project benefits and produce return-on-investment metrics. These steps are important to inform com- petitive grant applications through programs like ATP and build stakeholder support for expenditures. Other important criteria will include physical factors like utility conflicts, right of way impacts, and business accessi- bility and environmental factors, like climate adaptabil- ity, effect on air quality, and consistency with low-im- pact development principles. As a full-service transportation planning and engi- neering firm, we understand how to take transpor- tation projects from inception to construction and how to navigate every intermediate step, from putting pen to paper to shovels in the ground, efficiently and successfully. The last step of a planning effort is only the first of many steps in the life of a transportation project, and we are equipped to tackle every stage. GHD’s design engineers will be engaged on the de- sign of the Demonstration Project from the very be- ginning. Our Phase 2 scope of work, as such, will lay a solid foundation for Phase 3, including identifi- cation of environmental or right of way constraints. GHD is committed to delivering a project that builds on the vision of a vibrant, walkable, complete street, while looking for opportunities to improve safety, vi- sual aesthetics, hydraulic capacity, and water qual- ity. As a fully-multidisciplinary engineering services firm, our integrated delivery approach means our landscape architects, environmental specialists, and surveyors will all be seamlessly integrated into project development phases. 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 15 Scope of Work Method of Approach, Analysis, and Skills Our approach to delivering this project, is rooted in our deep understanding and unique qualifications to de- liver this project. We hand-selected each individual on this team in order to bring together the best team to deliver a Form-Based Code that is implementable. The GHD and LWC team developed the following Scope of Services based upon the Request for Proposal (RFP), visits to the project site, our knowledge of form-based codes, successful grant write, and successful imple- mentation of complete streets. All tasks required in the RFP are included in our Scope of Services, however, it is noted the optional future tasks are based on a variety of assumptions and are provid- ed to give the City an idea of the level of effort anticipat- ed to complete all of the tasks identified in the Scope of Services. However, it is intended these future scopes, should the City elect to use the GHD team, be refined at that time to ensure the best product is delivered. Task 1. Project Management Task 1.1 - Project Initiation and Coordination Responsible Parties: GHD, LWC, and City GHD will facilitate an overall Project Kick-Off Meeting with LWC and City staff, which may be complet- ed in-person or virtually. During this meeting, over- all project goals and objectives will be reviewed. Communication protocols will be established. Each Phase of the Project (Tasks 2 through 5 below) will warrant a separate initiation meeting, focused on the deliverables associated with that Phase. These will ei- ther be standalone meetings or performed at a regular bi-weekly check-in meeting (Task 1.2). During the Kick-Off Meeting, the Scope of Work will be reviewed along with Schedule to identify any neces- sary changes. This includes discussion of work scope shown for Optional Phases 3 and 4 (Tasks 4 and 5). GHD will work with City staff to identify key staff from other City departments and/or key stakeholders to engage during the Project. GHD will present sample monthly progress reports, which will subsequently be submitted monthly as part of routine invoice submittals. Task 1.2 - Regular Project Team Meetings Responsible Parties: GHD, LWC, and City GHD will facilitate bi-weekly check-in meetings with the Project Team, including LWC and City staff for the duration of the project. GHD will prepare a Short- Term Action List that will identify the action, the de- sired date for completion, responsible party, and sta- tus notes. This list will be maintained and updated throughout the duration of the project. The Short- Term Action List will serve as both the agenda and task tracking mechanism for the project team check- in meetings and will be updated prior to every check- in meeting. All check-in meetings will be teleconfer- enced, hosted by GHD. Task 1 Products/Deliverables (Electronic Unless Otherwise Noted) • Kick-Off Meeting Agenda and Minutes • Finalized Scope of Work and Schedule • Bi-Weekly Short-Term Action Lists • Monthly Progress Reports Task 2. Form-Based Code Assessment (Phase 1) Task 2.1 - Form-Based Code Initiation Meeting and Presentation Responsible Parties: LWC, GHD, and City Following up on the Kick-Off Meeting from Task 1.1, GHD and LWC will prepare for and attend an initiation meeting for the Form-Based Code (FBC) phase with City staff, which may be completed in-person or virtu- ally. LWC will review the finalized Scope of Work and Schedule, based on the outcome of Task 1.1, and confirm the desired Demonstration Project. LWC will facilitate one (1) internal (Project Team and City staff) presentation on FBC, including an explana- tion of what FBC’s are, why they can be more effec- tive than conventional coding approaches, and offer case study examples in other cities. LWC will work with the City and GHD to identify doc- uments that are pertinent to the FBC, including re- cent amendments to the Zoning Code, key policies from the General Plan, the Highway 111 Corridor Plan, the applicable Specific Plan(s), and the rele- vant Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) and/or other relevant information. LWC will submit a document request memo to City staff for documents, reports, etc. identified in the project initiation meeting. Task 2.2 - Microscale Analysis and Specific Plan Evaluation Responsible Party: LWC LWC will document block and lot development pat- terns in areas relevant to the Demonstration Project and/or adjacent to the Corridor in-person or virtual- ly via Google Earth. LWC’s evaluation of this data will inform the development of sample form-based stan- dards that account for existing urban patterns and unique features in the City. Additionally, LWC will con- duct an evaluation of the applicable Specific Plan reg- ulations and CC&R’s to determine the existing limita- tions and impediments to development and use of the Demonstration Project. 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 16 Task 2.3 - Sample FBC Responsible Parties: LWC, GHD, and City LWC will develop a Sample FBC for the Demonstration Project with standards for transect zone(s), build- ing types, frontage types, and civic space types. The Sample FBC will include a Regulating Plan that es- tablishes the location of the transect zones on the Demonstration Project. The Sample FBC will provide sample standards that implement the vision established in the Highway 111 Corridor Plan. LWC will work col- laboratively with City staff and the landowner(s) to un- derstand the most effective development outcome(s). LWC will provide the Sample FBC in a recommended format and organization, including a preferred meth- od of integration into the existing Code and informa- tion related to necessary Code amendments in order to effectively integrate the two (2) approaches. Task 2.4 - City Council and Planning Commission Joint Study Session Responsible Parties: LWC, GHD, and City LWC and GHD will facilitate one (1) joint study ses- sion with the City Council and Planning Commission, which may be conducted in-person or via video con- ference (of the City’s preference). The study session will include a PowerPoint presentation on the back- ground analysis, existing conditions, and Sample FBC standards and approaches. LWC and GHD will pro- vide a summary notes the Joint Study Session. The City is responsible for securing a meeting space, no- ticing, and distributing outreach materials. Task 2 Products/Deliverables (Electronic Unless Otherwise Noted) • FBC Presentation • Sample FBC • Draft & Final Joint Study Session Presentation • Joint Study Session Summary Notes Task 3. Corridor Design Concept (Phase 2) Task 3.1 Assemble Baseline Data and Develop Corridor Base Map Responsible Parties: GHD and City GHD will collect and compile existing corridor trans- portation, demographic, environmental, and infra- structure data in order to document and map existing corridor conditions. This data will inform the concept designs and will provide a basis for the design concept assessment in Task 3.2. GHD will review all available background conditions information collected for and presented in the Highway 111 Corridor Plan. After as- sessing the availability of traffic data from the City and publicly available sources, GHD may request the City to gather or supplement the available data with new roadway segment counts, turning movement counts, and/or other data within the project area. Transportation Data. GHD will gather available da- ta from public sources like U.S. Census (Decennial Census, American Community Survey, Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics), FHWA (Highway Performance Monitoring System for VMT and National Performance Management Research Data Set for Travel Speed), and Caltrans (Traffic Census, Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System). If the City desires, GHD can also contract with or utilize available data from commercial providers like StreetLight to better under- stand travel characteristics along the corridor - particu- larly for non-work travel like shopping and recreation. GHD will summarize and illustrate existing travel pat- terns, crash history, congestion, multimodal service levels, and count information for vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, transit (ridership data, bus headways), and ride-sharing/Transportation Network Companies (TNC’s) usage, as available. Survey. GHD will perform surveys and necessary base mapping for the preliminary engineering, and design required by the project’s parameters. Project surveying and mapping shall include, but not be lim- ited to establishing a datum; setting vertical and hor- izontal control; aerial photogrammetric mapping; and right of way mapping. Mapping product will be a digital base map with surface, with supplemental digital rectified orthophotograph, all tied to the required datums. Project control and mapping will meet the Caltrans Orders of Survey Accuracy at a mapping scale of 1” = 20’ and a one-foot contour interval. All work un- der this phase will be performed under the direction of a California Licensed Land Surveyor. Project Survey Datum and Control. The horizon- tal control survey will be based on the North American Datum of 1983 using the California Coordinate System of 1983 (CCS83). The Vertical Datum will be the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The survey datum for the project will be determined by Continuously Operating reference Stations (CORS), if not directed otherwise by the City. Semi-permanent control monuments will be positioned for aerial map- ping and to facilitate construction staking in the future. Aerial Photography. Aerial control will be established using Global Positioning System (GPS) methods and a digital level to establish elevations. Aerial photogra- phy and mapping of the project will be obtained from AEROTECH. The results being a design level map- ping product and a scalable digital orthophoto of the project, georeferenced to the project datum. The initial submittal will be the scaled digital orthophoto of the 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 17 entire two-mile project length. A subsequent submittal will be complete topographic mapping from the aeri- al photos of a yet to be determined one-quarter mile segment of the route. Land Net Boundary Base. Record data will be com- piled to create a land net base map of the project. Sufficient monumentation will be located and posi- tioned to reference the record boundary data to the topographic base map. No monuments will be set and right of way engineering is not anticipated for this phase of the project. Aerial Mapping Integration, CAD File Setup, and DTM. Aerial, terrestrial and boundary surveys will be combined to form a complete mapping product. Computer files will be prepared to include field con- trol points, topographic surveys, utility data, property surveys, and preparation of the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) used for Three-Dimensional (3D) calculations, (i.e., earthwork, cross-sections, and profiles). Utility Verification. GHD will coordinate with all utili- ties to accurately locate and map the existing utilities within the project boundaries. GHD will draft letters requesting existing atlas maps from all utility purvey- ors in the corridor. Letters will be prepared in draft form for placement on the City letterhead and signa- ture by the City. GHD will digitize the received utili- ty mapping and update the project base mapping as required to include all utility information received. Task 3.2 - Develop and Assess Preliminary Corridor Design Concepts Responsible Parties: GHD and LWC GHD will develop up to three (3) alternative design concepts to illustrate the Highway 111 Corridor Plan complete streets vision elements (travel lanes, on- street parking/curb space, bicycle and shared use fa- cilities, transit stops and enhancements, landscap- ing, planting, and LID features, and transitions from public to private realm space) within the right of way. The alternatives will illustrate trade-offs, emphasize different modal priorities, or they may illustrate simi- lar functionality within different configurations. The al- ternatives will also demonstrate a range of construc- tion-cost scenarios. To maximize the value of the alternatives design process, different alternatives may apply to differ- ent segments, with an emphasis on the selected Demonstration Project. Alternatives will be present- ed from an aerial perspective using the corridor base map developed in Task 3.1 in addition to cross-sec- tions illustrating the street profile. GHD will work with LWC to incorporate typical amenities and building el- evations from the FBC developed in Phase 1 (Task 2) to illustrate transition between public/private realms. GHD will develop an assessment matrix to illustrate the following benefits or impacts of each alternative. Criteria may include: • Consistency with Highway 111 Corridor Plan vision • Vehicle travel (LOS) • Bicycle and Pedestrian comfort (LTS, potential to increase mode share) • Transit enhancements (stop-siting, reliability, po- tential to increase mode share) • Safety benefits (collision reduction potential, pro- active safety countermeasures) • Curb space (on-street parking, flexible curb space potential for MaaS) • Multimodal connectivity (diversity of travel modes, ease of transitions between modes) • Public and private realm transition (connectivity, streetscape amenities) • Climate adaptation strategies (including drought, flood, and heat wave events) • Environmental justice (impacts on/benefits to dis- advantaged populations) • Economic development (investment multiplier, freight reliability) • Emergency response (response times, accessibility) • Cost (Construction, utility conflicts, right of way) • Grant eligibility (improvement components eligible for grant funding) The results of the assessment matrix will be present- ed in a memorandum alongside the illustrations pre- pared for each concept design, for distribution to the City for review and discussion in Task 3.3. Task 3.3 - Review and Discuss Preliminary Corridor Design Concepts Responsible Parties: GHD, LWC, and City GHD will facilitate a virtual or in-person internal work- shop (Project Team and City) to review the preliminary design concept alternatives and assessment ma- trix developed in Task 3.2. GHD will go through the evaluation metrics and results. Based on City direc- tion, additional City department staff and/or external stakeholders may be invited to this discussion to pro- vide input. The results of Task 3.3 will influence the preparation of the Draft Corridor Design Concept in Task 3.4. Task 3.4 - Prepare Draft Corridor Design Concept Responsible Parties: GHD GHD will incorporate written comments and feedback received in Task 3.3 to develop a comprehensive cor- ridor-wide scaled design concept on the base maps developed in Task 3.1. The corridor design concept 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 18 will likely be a hybrid of the alternatives explored in the previous task and will likely vary along the corri- dor to respond to specific conditions. The draft con- cept will be provided for review by City staff along with a planning-level cost estimate. Task 3.5 - Prepare Corridor Visualizations and Cross-Sections Responsible Parties: GHD GHD will prepare illustrative graphics to communicate the existing conditions and proposed improvements to the public. GHD will illustrate these concepts within the context of the Demonstration Project. The follow- ing exhibits will be prepared: • Plan layout rendered over aerial photo (1” = 20’ or similar scale) • 3D model of typical block segment • Cross sections • Existing conditions with traffic, vegetation, safety concerns, key businesses, opportunity sites, and major constraints noted (1” = 20’ or similar scale) • Perspective before-and-after rendering Optionally, a 3D simulated traffic model can be devel- oped to accompany the rendering graphics. Task 3.6 - Prepare Corridor Design Phasing and Implementation Plan Responsible Parties: GHD, LWC, and City GHD will work with LWC and the City to understand how the corridor concept may be implemented in phases that best support the vision of the Highway 111 Corridor Plan. The corridor concept may be di- vided into a baseline project, implementable in the near-term, and an ultimate project that includes addi- tional features dependent on adjacent property devel- opment and funding availability. GHD will craft a phasing strategy based on the likely construction budget scenario, construction sequenc- ing, and the City’s and community’s priorities. The phasing and prioritization will be based on the crite- ria established in Task 3.2 for corridor assessment, as well as a benefit/cost analysis and grant eligibility of project components. This analysis will be presented in a memorandum that includes the final corridor design concept developed in Task 3.7 and the visualizations prepared in Task 3.5. Task 3.7 - Prepare Final Corridor Design Concept Responsible Parties: GHD GHD will revise the draft concept prepared in Task 3.4 according to one (1) set of consolidated, internally consistent comments received from the City. GHD will also finalize the planning-level cost estimate for the corridor based on the final concept. The final concept will be delivered to the City. Task 3 Products/Deliverables (Electronic Unless Otherwise Noted) • Existing data inventory • Utility mapping request letters • Survey control base, right of way, and topographic mapping. • Corridor base map • Preliminary concept design drawings and exhibits • Preliminary concept design assessment memo and exhibits • Draft & Final corridor design concept and cost estimate • Corridor visualizations and cross-sections • Corridor phasing and implementation memorandum Task 4. ATP Grant Application and PS&E (Optional Phase 3) It is assumed the ATP Grant Application will be for the entire Highway 111 Corridor Plan. The PS&E will be for only the Demonstration Site identified in Phase 1, which will also include implementation of the com- plete street concept developed as part of Phase 2. At the time this scope was prepared, the Demonstration Project had not been developed and therefore, the PS&E Tasks 4.4 to 4.13 of this scope and associated fee are intended to be revised as needed to assess accuracy of the tasks. It is assumed the Demonstration Site will not exceed ¼ mile for bud- geting purposes. It is also assumed any vertical site development work is not included in this scope and fee and right of way acquisition is not required. Task 4.1 - Prepare Draft ATP Grant Application Responsible Parties: GHD and City GHD will review the prior ATP application submitted for the La Quinta Village Complete Streets project in Cycle 3, and flag any integral information to be repur- posed for the Cycle 5 application on Highway 111. Comments from Caltrans regarding the scoring, as well as the scoring sheet itself, will also be reviewed for guidance. GHD will coordinate an application preparation kick-off call to review the Cycle 5 guid- ance and identify any key changes to requirements and scoring criteria Assemble Grant Application Materials. We will also confirm the project description, approach, and the time- line for preparation and review. Following this meeting, GHD will initiate preparation of the narrative components 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 19 of the application, including: • Application Part A: General Project Information. This section of the application is utilized to complete the Master Agreement if funding is awarded. Much of the information in Part A is generated in development of Parts B and C, so part A is typically completed after the other two components. • Application Part B: Narrative Questions. This section of the application includes the application screening criteria, the project priority status, engagement of the local community in development of the project, design progress, any funding leverage the agency is able to secure, and coordination with the California Conservation Corps (CCC) and/or a certified community conservation corps. The following tasks/data are required to complete Part B: • Part C: Application Attachments. In addition to the narrative development for Parts A and B, GHD will utilize work completed in preced- ing work phases to develop the following re- quired attachments: o Project Programming Request o Engineer’s Checklist o Project Projects (Cross-Section) o Project Cost Estimate • The City will be responsible for compiling the fol- lowing attachments: o Application Signature Page o Letters of Support o Confirmation of CCC Coordination Draft Application. GHD will prepare a Draft Application for the City to review. This package will include all mate- rials and attachments. Task 4.2 - Review and Discuss Draft ATP Grant Application Responsible Parties: GHD and City GHD will facilitate a virtual meeting with the City to re- view the Draft ATP grant application developed in Task 4.1. Based on City direction, additional City de- partment staff and/or external stakeholders may be invited to this discussion to provide input. The results of Task 4.2 will influence the preparation of the Final ATP grant application in Task 4.3 Task 4.3 - Prepare Final ATP Grant Application Responsible Parties: GHD GHD will revise the Draft Application according to one set of consolidated, internally-consistent comments received from the City. We assume that the City will collect required signatures, and submit the final ap- plication by email and hardcopy, as required. GHD is able to provide printing/compilation and submission as an optional service if desired. Task 4.4 - Demonstration Project Environmental Clearance Responsible Parties: GHD This Task assumes that no federal funding and there- fore, NEPA clearance is not required and only CEQA will be required. It is understood that the City will con- sider the Demonstration Project as a feasibility and planning study. For such projects, CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 provides for the use of a Statutory Exemption as follows: “A project involving only feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the agen- cy, board, or commission has not approved, ad- opted, or funded does not require the preparation of an EIR or Negative Declaration but does require consideration of environmental factors. This sec- tion does not apply to the adoption of a plan that will have a legally binding effect on later activities.” Given that the Demonstration Project will be a plan- ning guidance document only (i.e., the City has not approved, adopted, or funded any possible future ac- tions to considered by the project), it is anticipated that the Demonstration Project will be exempt from CEQA as described above. GHD will develop a written description of the project to support environmental review pursuant to CEQA. It is assumed that no resource agency permit appli- cations will be needed for this project. The descrip- tion will cover the Demonstration Project, including a summary of the project location, project characteris- tics, construction methods, operational characteris- tics, minimization measures, and graphics. A draft de- scription will be submitted to the City for review prior and approval prior to any further work. The following database reviews will be used to con- firm that no significant environmental concerns are presented by the Demonstration Project and to con- firm no regulatory agency approvals: • Biological database review (historic aerial pho- tos and habitat; special-status species records; wetland databases (both federal and state); soil survey data; CDFW California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB/Bios); USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC); USFWS Online Critical Habitat Mapper). 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 20 • Cultural resources record search, background in- formation review. • Hazardous materials database report (e.g., EDR) to identify any areas of known contamination near the Demonstration Project. If the project is determined to qualify for a CEQA Statutory Exemption, GHD will submit a CEQA Exemption Review Memorandum and Notice of Exemption form to the City for review. It is assumed that the City will file the Notice of Exemption and pay the fil- ing fee with the County Clerk and Office of Planning and Research after the project has been approved. If the project is determined to not qualify for a CEQA Exemption, GHD will complete an Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) subject to the City’s approval of an amended scope and fee. Task 4.5 - Geotechnical Investigation and Report Responsible Parties: Geocon and GHD GHD has partnered with Geocon to perform the geotechnical investigation and report. At the time this scope was put together the extent of the geotechnical investigation was not known, therefore a general outline of what may be needed is provided below. A detail scope will be provided once the com- ponents of the project are determined, and a fee will be provided at that time. The scope of services may consist of: • Performing geotechnical borings and pavement corings needed to inform the design. This will in- clude: preparing a no fee encroachment permit, measure the pavement and base thicknesses, log the geotechnical borings based on Unified Soils Classification System criteria, collect soil samples for laboratory testing, and backfill boring. • Collect soil samples and have agricultural nutri- ent tests performed for the proposed landscaping amendment design. • Perform laboratory testing, which is anticipat- ed to include maximum density/optimum mois- ture, in-situ density and moisture, corrosion, and R-value testing. • Perform percolation testing to determine infiltra- tion rates. • Prepare a geotechnical report. Task 4.6 - Utility Coordination Responsible Parties: GHD and City GHD will prepare conflict maps for all proposed utili- ty conflicts based on the 65% design plans. One (1) map will be prepared for each utility involvement. It is assumed up to six (6) utility purveyors will have con- flicts. The maps will be sent to each utility along with the required Relocation Letter. GHD will coordinate with each utility company on the proposed relocation of their facilities. GHD will partici- pate in up to six (6) meetings. It is assumed, if in-per- son meetings are conducted, all six (6) meetings will take place over the span of two (2) days. It is as- sumed the relocation plans will be done by the utili- ty company and GHD will review and approved the plans. This Task excludes preparation of relocation plans for City-owned facilities. GHD will prepare signature-ready utility agreements and notices to relocate to the affected purveyors. All letters and notices under this task will be prepared on blank letterhead and submitted electronically to the City for placement on City letterhead, signature, and delivery to the utility companies. GHD will prepare the Report of Investigation packag- es under this task as well. Utility potholing is not in- cluded in this scope, however, can be provided at an additional cost. Task 4.7 - 35% Plans and Estimate Responsible Parties: GHD GHD will refine the approved conceptual design to a 35% geometric design level. The plans will incor- porate basic horizontal geometric design elements. The submittal is anticipated to consist of the following sheets: title, general notes, demolition, plan/layout, typical sections, signing, and pavement delineations. This submittal will also include an overall landscape design concept for the project. The landscape con- cept will illustrate all proposed planting areas and tree layout; a plant schedule of proposed plant materials; and a description of the irrigation system proposed. Once the concept is approved, GHD will prepare one (1) 3D “Sketch-Up” model illustrating the design con- cepts proposed. Various images will be captured from this model and will be provided to the City. GHD will provide a Project Estimate, which will identi- fy appropriate bid items and quantities. Costs will be based on the historical cost index associated with the identified bid items. Task 4.8 - 65% PS&E Responsible Parties: GHD GHD will incorporate all revisions based on review comments of the 35% plans and prepare the 65% Plans. The following plan sheets are anticipated, for 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 21 budget purposes, it is assumed no more than 45 sheets will be provided: • Title • General Notes • Typical Sections • Key Map, Line Index, Survey Control • Demolition • Plan and Profiles • Construction Details • Grading Plan • Utility Plan • Drainage Plan and Profile • Construction Area Signs • Stage Construction and Traffic Control • Pavement Delineation • Sign Plans and Details • Irrigation Notes, Plans and Details • Planting Plans and Details • Electrical Plans GHD will update the bid items and costs and pro- vide an updated opinion of probable cost. GHD will prepare the Draft Project Specifications and Bid Documents per City Standards. It is assumed the City will provide any front-end contract boiler plate lan- guage required. Task 4.9 - 90% PS&E Responsible Parties: GHD The plans, cost estimate, and specifications prepared as part of the 65% PS&E will be supplemented with additional details and information as necessary to re- spond to comments received. Task 4.10 - Final Bid Documents Responsible Parties: GHD The PS&E prepared as part of the 90% PS&E will be supplemented with additional details and informa- tion as necessary to respond to comments received for final submittal of sealed plans and specifica- tions to the City. This submittal will represent the fi- nal contract documents that will be issued for bid and construction. Task 4.11 - Hydraulics/Stormwater Design Responsible Parties: GHD GHD will prepare a Drainage Report for the project. Elements for the report include the existing and pro- posed drainage shed maps and narrative of the drain- age conditions prior to and after the project. This assumes the project will maintain the exist- ing drainage patterns and drainage systems within the limits of the proposed improvements and major storm drain infrastructure is not required. The scope of work includes minor modifications and/or addi- tions to the existing underground storm drain sys- tem needed to adequately accommodate the run-off from the project. GHD will prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) to comply with the NPDES permit require- ments and the Coachella Valley Water District’s Water Management Plan Update. A draft drainage report and WQMP will be submitted with the 65% PS&E submittal and a final report with the 90% PS&E submittal. This Task assumes water quality requirements can be met through the use of natural on-site Best Management Practices, such as bioretention swales, rain gardens, and/or self-retaining areas such as land- scaped medians. This Task also assumes that any existing run-on will not need to be treated within the project limits or as part of this project. This Task also assumes the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan will be prepared by the construction contractor. Task 4.12 - Assistance During Bidding Responsible Parties: GHD and City GHD will provide support to the City during Bidding and the Advertising phase. This work includes at- tending the pre-bid meeting and answer up to four (4) questions from bidders. GHD will also provide sup- port to the City in response to requests for informa- tion from bidders. We will also provide support to the City to provide up to two (2) addenda as a result of re- quests for information. Task 4.13 - Construction Support Responsible Parties: GHD and City It is anticipated that the City will retain a third party firm to provide construction management and inspec- tion services. Under this task, engineering support will be provided on an as-requested basis to respond to the requests of the Resident Engineer (RE). These re- quests include requests for information, review of ma- terial submittals, interpretation of plans and spec- ifications, plan changes and revisions, and other construction related requests. GHD will provide up to 40 person hours for this task. GHD will also prepare record drawings based on the RE’s As-Built mark-ups for City records at the com- pletion of the construction. 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 22 Task 4 Products/Deliverables (Electronic Unless Otherwise Noted) • Draft & Final ATP Application and Attachments • Draft & Final IS/MND • Geotechnical Report • Utility Conflict Maps (11”x17”), Relocation Letters, Utility Agreement, Notice to Owner, and Report of Investigation • 35%, 65%, 90%, and Final Plans, Landscape Concept and Estimate • Draft & Final WQMP and Drainage Report • Bidding Assistance Meeting Minutes, Responses to RFIs, Addenda Materials • Construction Support Responses to RFIs, Plan or Specification Revisions, Record Drawings. Task 5. Corridor Form Based Code (Optional Phase 4) Task 5.1 - Administrative Draft FBC Responsible Parties: LWC Based on the Sample FBC and the recommendations and study area boundary established in the Highway 111 Corridor Plan, LWC will develop an Administrative Draft FBC for the Corridor. The Administrative Draft FBC will establish standards for transect zones, build- ing types, frontage types, and civic space types, as well as land use regulations, administrative provisions, and the design concepts developed with GHD, as necessary for cohesion. The Administrative Draft FBC will also include a Regulating Plan. The City will provide one (1) round of consolidat- ed, non-conflicting comments on the Administrative Draft FBC. Task 5.2 - Design Workshop Responsible Parties: LWC, GHD, and City LWC will facilitate one (1) design workshop to educate community members on FBC’s, receive feedback on work completed to-date, and confirm the communi- ty’s vision for the Corridor. The workshop will include a PowerPoint presentation describing background, context, and project objectives, as well as an over- view of where the FBC applies in the City and its or- ganization and tools. LWC staff members will facilitate small group dis- cussions with accompanying materials (e.g., ques- tionnaire, handout, maps, building type images, flip charts, etc.). LWC will submit draft workshop material for City staff review, then LWC will prepare final work- shop materials based on City staff comments. Large- scale maps for the workshop will be produced by the City. LWC will provide summary notes of the work- shop. The City is responsible for securing a meeting space, noticing, and distributing outreach materials. Task 5.3 - Public Drafts of the FBC Responsible Parties: LWC LWC will prepare a Public Review Draft FBC based on the consolidated, non-conflicting comments provid- ed by City staff. The City will manage the public rollout and comment timeframe. LWC will review comments on the Public Review Draft FBC with City staff and prepare a Public Hearing Draft FBC. LWC will prepare for and attend one teleconfer- ence to discuss public comments with City staff. As necessary, LWC will also revise the Regulating Plan. Upon completion of the Public Hearing Draft FBC, LWC will provide the Adobe InDesign source files of the document to City staff. Task 5.4 - Highway 111 Corridor Environmental Technical Studies Responsible Parties: GHD In support of the environmental document to be pre- pared under Task 5.5, GHD anticipates that technical studies will be needed to address the following envi- ronmental disciplines: • Biological Resources • Cultural Resources • Traffic The extent of environmental analyses contained in these studies, and others if needed, will be deter- mined once the extent of improvements proposed un- der Phases 3 and 4 are defined. Task 5.5 - Highway 111 Corridor Environmental Document Responsible Parties: GHD This Task assumes that no federal funding and there- fore, NEPA clearance is not required and only CEQA will be required. As noted in responses to questions raised per the RFP, we understand that the City will determine the CEQA document type at the time that the City chooses to implement Phases 3 and 4. At this time, given the length of the Corridor, the extent of street improvements, bicycle and pedestrian facil- ities, other active recreation, and visual resources to include landscaping and public art, we expect that a CEQA IS/MND will likely be the appropriate form of documentation for this effort. The IS/MND will consist of the following tasks: 4. SCOPE OF WORK GHD | Proposal for City of La Quinta: Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code Planning Services & Engineering Services | 23 • Project Initiation (Kick-Off Meeting, information needs request) • Project Description • Draft IS/MND (addressing applicable topics from CEQA Appendix G, Environmental Checklist Form): o Aesthetics o Air Quality o Biological Resources o Cultural Resources o Energy o Geology/Soils o Greenhouse Gas Emissions o Hazards and Hazardous Materials o Hydrology/Water Quality o Land Use/Planning o Noise o Population/Housing o Public Services o Recreation o Transportation o Tribal Cultural Resources o Utilities/Service Systems o Wildfire • Final IS/MND (including responses to comments, and Mitigation and Monitoring Plan) • Public Hearing and Notice of Determination. With this approach, as future segments of the Corridor are developed, and additional design refine- ments identified, future environmental review can ti- er from the IS/MND (for example, as a Categorical Exemption). This will enable future projects requiring CEQA review to make maximum use of the environ- mental analyses conducted under the present scope of work, thereby reducing the extent and cost of fu- ture analyses. Task 5.6 - Specific Plan Repeal Amendments Responsible Parties: LWC, City If necessary and directed by City Council and Planning Commission, LWC will prepare amend- ments for the repeal of the 11 Specific Plans along the Corridor. Task 5.7 - Final FBC Responsible Parties: LWC LWC will coordinate with and provide guidance to City staff to prepare a Final FBC. While not includ- ed in the budget, LWC and GHD can assist or lead all formal presentations to, and hearings with, Planning Commission and City Council.
