Preparation of the requisite technical studies would confirm that the project would not result in of any "unusual circumstances," as defined in 23 CFR 771.117(b), that would otherwise preclude utilization of a categorical exclusion under NEPA. NEPA Documentation It is understood that the City intends to utilize federal funds for the proposed project. Utilization of federal funds requires that the project be environmentally cleared pursuant to NEPA in coordination with Caltrans and in accordance with MAP -21 and associated NEPAAssignment MOU. Based on our current understanding of the project, Michael Baker recommends that the City, in coordination with Caltrans, pursue utilizing a Categorical Exclusion pursuant to the Categorical Exclusion MOU to streamline project approval under NEPA. More specifically, it is anticipated that the proposed project would meet the definition of a type of project that would qualify for a Categorical Exclusion pursuant to 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 771.117(d)(3) regarding construction of the new road, bridge, and channel facilities. Preparation of the requisite technical studies will confirm that the project would not result in of any "unusual circumstances," as defined in 23 CFR 771.117(b), that would otherwise preclude utilization of a Categorical Exclusion under NEPA. CEQA Documentation Michael Baker has reviewed available project materials, conducted preliminary reconnaissance of the project area, and considered the City's concerns regarding potential project issues and impacts associated with the proposed project. After careful consideration, we expect that all project -related impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level; therefore, we anticipate that an initial study, leading to a mitigated negative declaration, is the appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document and approval for the project. Our recommendation is based on our knowledge of the project area and our collective experience with preparation of environmental documents for similar projects. On the other hand, if after having completed the technical studies it is confirmed that the project would clearly not result in significant impacts, the Michael Baker team, in consultation with the City, will explore the option of approving the project under the "general rule" exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061(b) (3). An activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA and the general rule exemption, therefore, applies to that activity. Technical Studies Caltrans' approval of the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form will confirm what technical studies are required for the project; the technical studies that are prepared will support both NEPA and CEQA approvals. Based on the preliminary work that the Michael Baker team has conducted for the project to date, the following several technical studies will be required to support the environmental document: Air Quality Report; Greenhouse Gas INTERNATIONAL Analysis; Noise Study Report; Phase I ISA; Water Quality Technical Memorandum; Location Hydraulics Study/Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report; Natural Environment Study - Minimal Impacts; Jurisdictional Delineation; Section 4(f) Memorandum; Visual Memorandum; Historic Property Survey Report with Archaeological Survey Report; Vehicle Miles Traveled Assessment; Energy Analysis Regulatory Agency Permitting The proposed project is expected to require permit approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Section 404 Permit), Regional Water Quality Control Board (Section 401 Water Quality Certification), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Section 1600 Streambed Alteration Agreement) as a result of impacts to the La Quinta Evacuation Channel. The Michael Baker engineering and environmental teams will work closely together to ensure that project -related impacts to the channel are, to the extent practicable, minimized to help expedite permit approvals through the above -referenced regulatory agencies. Michael Baker's regulatory specialists have permitted numerous projects in this region through consultations with these agencies; Michael Baker will bring to this project the positive working relationships that our staff has established with these agencies to help expedite regulatory agency permitting approvals. Channel Hydraulics and Drainage Understanding Michael Baker understands the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) Evacuation Channel hydraulics based upon our experience with similar bridge designs crossing the Whitewater River Channel and other drainage facilities throughout the Coachella Valley. During our initial research we discussed some of the issues with CVWD stormwater engineering design staff. We understand the nature of the soft bottom channels and associated scour dynamics and scour protection methods. Early coordination with CVWD and the City will be emphasized to gain concurrence on criteria and modeling methods as well as on any additional enhancements CVWD will require as a result of the proposed project such as maintenance access and channel slope lining near the proposed bridge. We recognize that the Avenue 50 roadway surface also functions as a grade control structure for the Evacuation Channel. The channel improvements associated with the bridge construction will need to replicate this function. This serves a dual purpose of protecting the long-term channel stability and reducing the scour effects relative to the bridge and thereby reducing the necessary footing depths for piers and abutments. Leading and trailing cutoff walls will be designed to protect against undermining during the design scour events, while the concrete lining will help maintain the channel hydraulics through the bridge. Special consideration is needed at the upstream cutoff wall to protect the adjacent golf course green during construction and minimize the project effects on the golf course. In addition to the channel analysis and improvements, the roadway drainage will be altered because of this project. The surface drainage conveyed within the Avenue 50 cross section will no longer be able to flow directly into the Evacuation Channel; therefore, catch basins and outlet pipes to the evacuation channel will be required. Furthermore, the storm drain on the northwest side of the low-water crossing will be impacted by the bridge abutment construction and require relocation. Effective September 1, 2023, all construction projects disturbing one (1) acres of soil or more will be required to obtain coverage under the 2022 Construction General Permit, Order Number 2022 -0057 -DWG CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 11 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT (2022 CGP). The objectives of the SWPPP are to: 1) identify the sources of sediment and other pollutants from the construction site that affect the quality of stormwater discharges; and 2) to describe the practices to reduce sediment and other pollutants in stormwater discharges generated from the construction site. Structures Understanding The structure type proposed in the HBP application includes a three -span, 200 -foot long, 2 -foot and 3 -inch deep cast -in-place prestressed (CIP/PS) concrete slab bridge on pile -supported pier walls and high -cantilever abutments. With an 80 -foot center span, the depth -to -span limits set by AASHTO LRFD for this structure type would not be met. The span configuration, structure type, or both would need to be modified. Several interdependent variables contribute to the structure type decision, including channel hydraulics and freeboard, constructability and staging, geometric clearances and span configuration, utilities, aesthetics, and cost. Based on our preliminary analysis, we propose the following: Maintain the channel cross-section through the bridge. Concrete channel lining would be installed, and bridge limits would extend beyond the limits of the channel by 5 feet on each side. The extended bridge limits would allow us to install short - seat abutments, which is a more cost-effective solution compared to the high -cantilever alternative. The slope of the portion of channel lining extending above the high-water elevation could be hinged to optimize bridge length. Use precast prestressed (PC/PS) concrete voided slab sections for the superstructure. Four simply supported spans with lengths on the order of 50 feet could be used. The AASHTO LRFD minimum depth -to -span ratio for this section is 0.03. We would add an approximately 4 -inch CI deck section to this as well as concrete sidewalk and barrier rail on each side, which would bring the total superstructure depth to approximately 2 feet. Use driven steel H -pile foundations. A single row of driven steel H -piles could support each abutment. A single row of driven steel H -pile extensions could support each pier. Driven steel piles are geotechnically permitted at this site, are cost-effective, and would be fast and simple to install. The concrete channel lining would serve as scour protection for the bridge substructure. Take advantage of the potential for full closure and detour to employ accelerated bridge construction techniques. Abutments and pier caps could be precast to include voids for embedding piles and pile extensions. These connections would be made mechanically through the flanges and webs of the H -sections and then high-strength grouted. The precast slabs would then be installed on bearings on the pier caps and abutment seats. Finally, the deck, sidewalks, barriers, and approach slabs would be cast -in-place. Consider vertical clearance constraints in establishing profile grade. Fourfeet of freeboard is required below, and the IID power poles have vertical clearance requirements above the roadway surface. We will set the profile grade to meet these requirements and minimize the use of retaining walls. It may be that some of the lines carried by the power poles need to be shifted along the pole height or relocated underground, but it is the intent for the poles to remain in place. These constraints will contribute to the span configuration and structure type considerations. Our goal is to provide the most effective and efficient structural solution that works in concert with the requirements of the other civil disciplines (primarily roadway, hydraulics and hydrology, and geotechnical), limits the construction related interruption to the community, and results in a practical and safe long-term solution for the City of La Quinta. Roadway Understanding As the bridge type alternatives are analyzed and the design of the bridge is being solidified, our team will focus on the roadway design to try to minimize impacts. In accordance with the City of La Quinta's General Plan, Avenue 50 is classified as a Primary Arterial (0). Upon review of the roadway geometry, it was noted that the section actually provides 76 feet of roadway width. Based on the response from the City during the pre -proposal meeting, as well as what was proposed in the City's HBP application, the section that will be used is as follows: The above section will generally apply through the bridge ultimately tying into the existing improvements to the east. To the west of the bridge, Michael Baker will work with the City to determine the most efficient section as the roadway touches back down and into the intersection of Avenue 50 and Washington Street. Since the development of the roadway will include an additional westbound lane, it is anticipated that in order to incorporate two through lanes at the intersection that widening at the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection will be necessary. This will drive the need for curb return, curb ramp, and traffic signal modifications. Michael Baker's team will review the intersection and develop a signal modification plan that will bring any deficiencies or outdated equipment up to current standards for the City. It is understood that during the development of this project, there is potential that the vacant parcels at the northeast and northwest corner of the intersection of Avenue 50 and Washington Street could undergo development. Our team will coordinate closely with the City throughout the project and, should either of these projects move forward, assist the City in the development of the roadway in a manner that eliminates the need to construct and reconstruct improvements. Our team has worked on entitlements of projects in active project sites, and we can assist crafting conditions of approval for this project, and any potential development project. Additionally, our team will focus on an efficient intersection design at Washington Street and Avenue 50 intersection in order to identify potential impacts to the signal poles, striping and other intersection features. Exact turn -pocket configurations will be in accordance with the City's General Plan as well as what is identified in the traffic impact analysis that will need to be conducted during the environmental phase of the project. 108' Primary Arterial As identified above, the City identifies Avenue 50 as a primary arterial. Based on the City's General Plan, Program CIR-1.10c, primary arterials shall have a design speed of 45 mph. As it exists today, the posted speed limit on this stretch of Avenue 50 is 50 mph. Additionally, the City's HBP application identified the design speed of the project to be 55 mph. Michael Baker will work closely I N T E R N AT 1 0 N A L CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 12 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT with the City to resolve the design speed inconsistencies, which will ultimately have impacts to the roadway work required outside of the bridge limits. Our team understands and is sensitive to the fact that HBP limits the amount of roadway work necessary for the approach of the bridge and will work to minimize any impacts that occur in the non -participating area of the project. It is noted that lowering the design speed will ultimately reduce the vertical curve at the bridge and may reduce the overall footprint of the project. East of the bridge, specifically on the south side of Avenue 50, it is noted that there is a landscaped hillside that is directly adjacent to the residential tract. This area will be raised to meet the grade of the new roadway and bridge, ultimately requiring significant grading. The Michael Baker team, through their design, will work to try to minimize the roadway surface elevation such that it will stay at or below the ground directly adjacent to the block wall. This will help in the mitigation of roadway noise to the adjacent homes. Should the roadway need to be raised to a point higher than mentioned, this may be an opportunity to install additional sound mitigation devices, such as clear panels to reduce noise while not obstructing views of the neighborhood. In addition, this will also trigger the need to bring in our landscape team to assist in the replanting of this area. Our team will work with the City to develop a concept that meets the needs of the City and the residents and is sensitive to the plant palette in this location. All efforts will be taken to minimize impacts to mature plants, specifically the palm trees, mature trees, and shrubbery in the area. That concept will be reviewed by the City and incorporated into our final design. A sidewalk on the south side of Ave 50 will be added within the Project limits for connectivity. Other factors of consideration that the Michael Baker team will incorporate into their proposed work include the incorporation of utilities in the roadway and bridge structure and maintaining access to the evacuation channel for CVWD. Minimizing road height via the use of a lower design speed and a multi -span bridge will increase the vertical clearance of the IID lines to the north of the project; however, it is anticipated that there may be a need to underground the distribution and communication lines on the lower part of these poles. Our team will focus on this aspect through our design and attempt to minimize impacts where possible. In addition, access to the channel for CVWD is proposed on the north and the south side of the road. Our team will work with the City and CVWD to determine the most efficient design of these access points. One key consideration is the potential development of the vacant lots at this location the CVWD access to the Channel may need to be revisited. Utilities The utilities present in the roadway and project vicinity are Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) domestic water and gravity sewer mains), City of La Quinta utilities, Imperial Irrigation District (IID) overhead electrical distribution and transmission facilities, Southern California Gas, and Frontier and Spectrum cable TV. Our approach is for the IID electrical poles to remain in place during construction. The bridge improvements must provide the minimum clearances to the supply and distribution lines established in the IID Regulation 23, "Clearance Requirements for Power Line Corridors." We understand the top three supply cables are 92kV transmission lines, over a single 12.5kV distribution line, and over an IID telecommunication line (SCADA). We anticipate the low SCADA INTERNATIONAL line will be removed from the pole and relocated Based on our preliminary research, the IID poles on the east side of the channel (one steel and one wood pole) that may be impacted by the raised roadway grades. Requirements to replace these poles will be discussed with IID at the outset of the project. Our early action plan action item within the first 30 days is to evaluate the minimum bridge soffit elevation above the high-water surface and freeboard in the channel, reduce structure depth and profile grade to the greatest extent possible, and review if the elevation of the power lines will require adjustment and to protect the poles in place. Alternatively, if the clearance requirements are met for the transmission lines but not for the lower distribution lines, distribution and communication lines only could be adjusted on the pole as allowed or coordinated through IID. IID's approved power source shall be shown on the plan for permanent electrical power. All utility conflicts must be noted at this time so advance preparations for clearing the utilities can begin. It should be noted that the "concept review" stage frequently involves revisions and re -submittal before Michael Baker is authorized to proceed to the next stage. Getting the concept correct is a critical aspect to efficiently completing a custom design. We are aware of the importance of thorough communication and documentation of meetings related to utility providers. Michael Baker will keep a thorough log of all communications with each utility provider. As noted in the HBP application, the remainder of the utilities which will be required to relocate as a part of the proposed bridge include the CVWD water main, natural gas distribution main, and cable TV facility. Michael Baker will coordinate with the City as well as all dry utility companies in the area to determine any current or possible future utility conduit space requests within the bridge section. Early, continual and meaningful coordination with the utility companies in the project area as well as identification of utility facilities will reduce the potential or possible conflicts and delays during the plan development and/or construction phase of the project. Right of Way Understanding Based on our initial research, we anticipate the need for Right of Way acquisition of three parcels, three permenant easements and temporary construction easements associated with the property owners adjacent to Avenue 50 where improvements are anticipated. Additionally, an encroachment permit from CVWD will be needed to construct channel improvements and to work within the channel for construction of the bridge. We have excellent relationships with CVWD staff and will initiate communication with CVWD early and often regarding the requirements to assure timely completion of the encroachment permit process Federally Funded Project Experience The project is partially funded with Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds administered through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). As such, Michael Baker will comply with the requirements of 48 CFR, Federal Acquisition Regulations System, Chapter 1, Part 31 et seq.; 49 CFR, Part 18, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments, and Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) Processing Procedures for Implementing Federal and/or State Funded Local Public Transportation Projects. Michael Baker has experience with complying to these requirements by successfully delivering over $100 Mil projects with HBP funding. Michael Baker has CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 13 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT successfully completed a pre -award audit with Caltrans within the last twelve months. The forms from Caltrans LAPM required as stated in the RFP including Exhibit 10-01 are provided later within our proposal. With the HBP Funds associated with this project, Michael Baker will coordinate with Caltrans District 8 Office of Local Assistance on necessary approvals and certifications all in accordance with Local Assistance Procedures Manual Assistance Program Guidelines. We also have excellent relationships with Caltrans Headquarters (District 59) who will be involved with the review of Bridge Type Selection at the early stages of design for conformance to the required Caltrans Bridge Design Specifications (BDS) and latest Seismic Design Criteria (SDC). Michael Baker is familiar with the LAPM processes and requirements, having followed these guidelines on our recent Whitewater River Channel/CVSWC Bridge projects including Adams Street Bridge and Date Palm Drive Bridge. Project Management Approach This project will require an experienced Team who has delivered bridge projects from environmental clearance through final design/ROW, and finally through construction. The following section will describe how Michael Baker is uniquely qualified with a proven management approach. Multidiscipline Project Delivery: Michael Baker's management approach has been proven on past projects to be effective in meeting or exceeding client goals for completing bridge design projects on or ahead of schedule and within or below budget. The basic components of our project approach include the following elements: Understanding City Objectives; Refined Project Scoping; Critical Path Method Scheduling; 60 -Day Look-Aheads; Critical Issues; Preliminary Design; Contract Administration; Budget Control; Project Progress and Design Review Meetings; Coordination and Communication with Public Agencies; Value Analysis; Progress Reports; Project Delivery and Coordination Clear project communication is established relative to project deliverables/schedules. As shown in the Project Team Organization Chart, accountability is established by the Project Manager and through Task Leaders and Key Personnel. Exceptional quality is the hallmark of Michael Baker. We employ a company- wide Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) Program. Michael Baker's project development process is a dynamic, interactive process between the Project Manager, technical staff, and support staff. Frequent "over the shoulder" technical lead reviews occur throughout preparation of studies and plans via internal discussions and project interdisciplinary reviews. This approach maintains project momentum, task guidance, and design involvement. Another critical element to ensuring quality is to carefully document project decisions, direction, and general project development history. Michael Baker has worked with the City and local agencies on numerous projects delivering a wide range of professional services across multiple disciplines and involving multiple subconsultants. While teaming with the City on past projects, our staff has acquired and applied City policies, procedures, and guidelines and understands the importance of open, timely communications. Stakeholder Communication: Michael Baker actively identifies and engages with every stakeholder and assumes the role of the City to help deliver a project that not only meets the City's goals, but engages all agencies to actively take ownership of the project purpose and need. Early Risk and Opportunities Identification: Identifying risks and opportunities early is key when demonstrating our depth of project management experience. Communicating a refined scope/schedule, following our project delivery approach, and implementing the QC/QA measures assist with establishing baseline outcomes. Engaging our Team through predictable project monitoring from our 60 -Day Look -Ahead and internal discussions about upcoming deliverables aides the City and Project Manager to understand, capture, and communicate items that may be beneficial or disrupt the project. We will leverage our Team's experience and share "lessons learned" from past similar projects in order to capitalize and/or mitigate any opportunities or risks that could potentially be realized within the schedule or budget.

Michael Baker will include an appropriate number of meetings with city staff. It is anticipated that there will be monthly project development team (PDT) meetings held virtually and in-person meetings held once a quarter. Michael Baker may be required to attend a city council meeting. Task 1.1 - Project Kickoff and Regular Design Meetings Michael Baker will work with the City of La Quinta to schedule a project kickoff meeting (pre -design meeting) as well as planned regular status meetings (assumed to be monthly) with the City of La Quinta. Additional meetings with key stakeholders will be scheduled and attended, as necessary. Michael Baker will provide meeting agendas with input from the City of La Quinta for each meeting and will prepare and distribute meeting minutes. This task also includes potential city council meetings. Assumptions: Forty-two meetings (1 kickoff, three design submittal meetings, up to thirty-six monthly PDT meetings, and up to two city council meetings) Deliverables: Meeting agendas, meeting minutes (within five business days of the meeting) Task 1.2 - Monthly Invoicing & Progress Reports On a monthly basis, Michael Baker will issue invoices and progress reports to the City of La Quinta detailing major items worked on during the billing period as well as the percentage complete for each task. This report will include all necessary backup and will serve to establish internal accounting methods and procedures acceptable to the City of La Quinta for documenting and monitoring contract costs. A master schedule will be developed as part of this task and will be updated monthly as part of the progress reports. Deliverables: Monthly invoice and progress reports Task 1.3 - Quality Control The Michael Baker team shall implement and maintain the following quality control procedures during the preparation of the plans and documents relating to the Avenue 50 Bridge Project. The Michael Baker team shall have a quality control plan in effect during the entire time services are being performed for this project. The plan shall establish a process whereby calculations are independently checked, plans are checked, corrected, and backchecked, and alljob-related correspondence and memoranda routed and received by affected persons and then saved in the appropriatejob files. Where several drawings show different work in the same area, means shall be provided to avoid conflicts and misalignment in both new and existing improvements. Evidence that the quality control plan is functional may be requested by the City of La Quinta at any time. All plans, calculations, documents, and other items submitted to the City for review shall be marked clearly as being fully checked and that the preparation of the material followed the quality control plan established for the work. The Michael Baker team has full responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of data, reports, plans, specifications, and estimates prepared for the Avenue 50 Bridge Project and shall check all such material accordingly. The City of La Quinta will review all work product deliverables. The responsibility for accuracy and completeness of such items remains solely that of the Michael Baker team. Neither the City's review or approval shall give rise to any liability or responsibility on the part of the City, waive any of city's rights, or relieve the Michael Baker team of its professional responsibilities or obligations for this project. The plans, designs, estimates, calculations, reports, and other documents furnished shall meet the criteria for acceptance and be a product of neat appearance, well organized, technically. and grammatically correct, checked, and identify the preparer and checker. The minimum standard of appearance, organization, and contents shall be of similar types produced by the City of La Quinta and other agencies involved in the project. If any work product submitted is not complete and ready for use by the City, it shall be marked "Draft" or with a similar designation to indicate it is not ready for use. TASK 2. SURVEY (PHASE I) Task 2.1 -Topographic Survey Aerial Topographic Mapping Michael Baker will conduct an aerial topographic survey of the project site, at a scale of 1"=40', with one foot contour intervals. The work shall include the following: Preparation of a flight plan and layout of ground control targets; field surveying services to set ground control panels and survey their precise positions on the appropriate coordinate system basis; aerial photogrammetric and aerotriangulation services; compilation of plannimetric and topographic features to digital medium; and performing field survey check profile observations and office analysis of said observations to check ground truth of the compiled map within accepted standards. Street Cross Sections Michael Baker shall perform a field survey of the project site to facilitate engineering design. This scope includes surveying 25 -foot cross sections on Avenue 50 east of Washington Street (approximately 1800 linear feet) as well as additional survey necessary at the intersection of Avenue 50 at Washington Street. The survey will be used to identify the locations and elevations of features and site elevations. The results of this survey will be compiled in Civil3D files and will be used by the design team. The site survey shall include obtaining locations, elevations, and descriptions of spot elevations on hardscape features including curb and gutters, sidewalks, and driveways; street and pavement areas including the roadway surface and cross gutters; power poles, streetlights, traffic signals, major signs, and overhead power lines within the right-of-way; above -ground utilities including valves, pull -boxes, meters, and vaults; existing trees; and all major surface features that define the shape of the terrain, such as tops and toes of slopes, grade breaks, and natural ground. Task 2.2 - Right of Way Record Map, Records Research and Field Assessment Michael Baker will complete the necessary research to gather and review available information such as preliminary reports, record drawings, tract maps, assessor parcel maps, right-of-way maps, previous surveys and investigations, street centerline ties, and utility maps. To plot the record position of the right-of-way lines I N T E R N AT 1 0 N A L CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 16 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT in the approximate orientation with a specific coordinate system, compiled aerial topographic base data or other overlay features, the Michael Baker survey team will perform the following tasks: research of the available public records via online services to obtain maps and other items that affect the boundary location of the property; preparing a preliminary record data map to be used by the field survey crew to search for a sampling of boundary monuments; field survey of said monuments in order to establish orientation of the record survey data in relation to the coordinate system used in the topographic mapping; plotting the record centerline; and plotting the record boundary lines on the aerial base map, with the understanding of the City that said record boundary is not the result of a comprehensive boundary survey and analysis, and that it's orientation may disagree from the position determined by a full boundary survey analysis. Additionally, our team will complete a field review investigating any issues identified in the scope of work as well as those identified in the kickoff meeting. During this walk, we will document pertinent field conditions, utility appurtenances, and photo document all locations. The result of this task will be a detailed base map, including record right-of-way lines, to be used as the basis of the design. Assumptions: Adequate and accessible boundary monumentation exists in the immediate project vicinity to control this record data survey. If additional survey services need to be performed to adequately recover survey monumentation, additional funding will be necessary and negotiated with the City. Any cost associated with the preparation and processing of a record of survey map, if one becomes necessary as a legal requirement, shall be paid for by the City. Deliverables: Document research and data collection with field verification, base map Task 2.3 - Pothole Surveys Michael Baker shall locate utilities exposed by potholing operations. The survey location shall include the elevations of the top of the exposed utility, the location of the utility and a description, including size, insofar assize can be determined. Potholing shall be done by a subconsultant. Should the City or potholing contractor determine that potholes must be backfilled prior to field survey, Michael Baker shall locate marks made by the contractor indicating the location, elevation, and description of the utility. Task 2.4 - Monument Rehabilitation Michael Baker shall perform a field survey to verify, set, or and measure sufficient reference tie accessory points and monuments to each location of centerline control that may be destroyed during the construction of the project, as required under Section 8771 of the Professional Land Surveyor Act. The consultant shall use other physical monuments or their accessories if practical to the location. Upon completion of initial field work, Michal Baker shall prepare and submit pre -construction corner records to the County Surveyors Office. After completion of construction, reconstruction, or maintenance, and within twenty (20) calendar days, Michael Baker shall replace any disturbed or destroyed monuments or their accessories as required under said Section 8773.3 of the P.L.S. Act. Michael Baker shall submit final corner record to the County Surveyors Office for filing as a public record, said final corner record document INTERNATIONAL showing the monument(s) or its accessories destroyed, tied out, and replaced. Copies of all documents submitted to the county shall be provided to the City. TASK 3. UTILITIES (PHASE 1) Task 3.1 - Utility Coordination Monument's utility coordinator will be responsible for coordinating the identification, relocation, protection, and abandonment of all utilities required by the Avenue 50 Bridge Project. The following six utility owners have been identified by DigAlert as possibly having facilities present in the project area and will have to be addressed: city of La Quinta; Coachella Valley Water District, Frontier, Imperial Irrigation District - Distribution and Transmission, Southern California Gas - Distribution, and Spectrum. Monument's utility coordination activities include Monument acting as the primary point of contact with the utility owners identified on the utility plans; actively participating in PDT and utility focus meetings; preparing the introductory request for as-builts notices and obtain all existing utility information, including identification of high-risk utilities from the various utility purveyors and agencies that may be impacted by the project; reviewing and verifying with the design team which facilities are considered in conflict; coordinating with the design team with the preparation of the conflict matrix and conflict exhibits needed for each utility company whose facilities are in conflict; meeting with utility companies and other entities to determine their requirements for relocation, protection, and abandonment requirements of utilities required to accommodate the project and to establish any potential ROW acquisition or easement requirements for utility relocations; preparing and sending the relocation claim letter to utility owners who have facilities in conflict; determining liability for the conflict facilities impacting the project; obtaining detailed relocation plans from utility owners; preparing notices to owners, utility agreements, reports of investigation, encroachment permits, and all other applicable documents; coordinating relocation of utilities that the City of La Quinta directs to be done prior to the project's construction and during the project's construction; and assisting in utility portion of the Caltrans ROW certification. Prior to construction, Monument's utility coordinator will work with the design engineers to coordinate with the utility companies to ensure the relocations are done to meet the project's schedule. During construction, the utility coordinator will monitor utility relocation work and meet regularly with design engineers, utility companies, Caltrans, the City of La Quinta, and other parties to coordinate and ensure that utility relocation work is done to meet the project's schedule. Task 3.2 - Utility Potholing Monument will coordinate the potholing services to determine horizontal and vertical locations of underground utility facilities in accordance with Caltrans' High Low Risk Policies and Procedures. Monument will work with project engineers, survey, positive utility location company, and utility companies to perform potholing to verify underground utilities. Monument and the positive utility location company anticipate that additional potholes could be required due to unforeseen concerns. Monument's utility coordinator will provide coordination and oversight of the positive location of the utility facilities. If the utility owner is conducting the required positive location, Monument will provide required notice to utility owner and assist in getting any required permits. CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 17 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT Michael Baker will prepare utility notifications for all dry and wet utilities that will be impacted by the project and continue open communication and coordination with each impacted utility throughout the life of the project. Work will also include potholing as needed to confirm conflicts with proposed drainage facilities. It is anticipated that IID transmission lines and poles will need to be protected in place with all other aerial lines potentially under grounded. Assumptions: Assumes the project will pay for as -built plans or special processing fees if required by the utility owner; assumes up to one utility agreement will be needed; and assumes an estimate of $1,900 per pothole. This includes permit fees, standard traffic management, mobilization costs and required equipment and crew for pothole subcontractor; assumes one mobilization for potholing; assumes no engineer stamped traffic control plans are needed; assumes no complex traffic control or traffic calming devices beyond the use of arrow boards, traffic cones and advanced warning signage; assumes no removal of location and USA markings; assumes no special backfill or asphalt restoration required. (Examples include hot patch asphalt, half -sack slurry, aggregate base backfill.); assumes no ground penetrating radar services are required; assumes that the design for new and relocated utilities will be performed by the respective utility owners; assumes inspection of utility relocation construction, including as necessary as -built survey will be done by others; assumes all utility service meters are acquisition costs and not public utilities, and utility companies will replace the new service to their requirements; and assumes all costs and negotiation efforts associated with the need for utility replacement easements or any additional property rights for the utility owner are not included with in the utility coordination scope and fee. Deliverable(s): Atlas maps, utility notifications, utility agreements as necessary, and potholing, as necessary. TASK 4. GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS (PHASE 1) Based on the RFP and our discussion with Michael Baker, Earth Mechanics, Inc. (EMI) will provide the geotechnical engineering design services for the following design elements: a new four - span Avenue 50 Bridge over Evacuation Channel (bridge structure width <100 feet); approximately 1,500 feet of new roadway; and Eight infiltration testing locations Details of our proposed geotechnical services are presented below. Task 4.1 - Preliminary Foundation Report EMI will prepare a Preliminary Foundation Report (PFR) for the bridge to provide preliminary geotechnical information to assist structural designers in the Type Selection process. This PFR will be prepared using the available subsurface data and the format will be in accordance with the current Caltrans guidelines. Task 4.2 - Geotechnical Investigation Caltrans is enforcing the AASHTO recommendations of a soil boring at each bridge support locations where substructure width is less than one hundred feet; a minimum of two borings are required per location where substructure width is greater than one hundred feet. Based on our discussion with Michael Baker, driven HP piles will be used as the foundation for all the supports. Data obtained from some boreholes will be used for multiple design elements. Based on this information, EMI's geotechnical field investigations plan is presented in Table 1. A pavement core will be obtained at each end of the project to determine the existing pavement sections. Bridge Abutments 2 80 Bridge Piers 3 80 Roadway 2 20 Pavement Cores 2 NA EMI will prepare a boring location plan, and this plan will be used to secure the well permits as well as city encroachment permits. Any other permits, if required, will be secured by others. Field Soil Infiltration Testing: Eight infiltration tests will be performed for the project. Depth of the wells will depend on the invert elevation but, it is assumed to be no more than eight feet below ground. Well infiltration testing will be performed following USBR 7300-89 method. Task 4.3 - Laboratory Testing Anticipated laboratory tests include in-situ density and moisture content, grain size, Atterberg limits, direct shear, UU triaxial, consolidation, R -value, and soil corrosion tests. Task 4.4 - Geotechnical Engineering Analysis The following analyses will be performed for the project: prepare design ARS curve, assessment of soil liquefaction potential, seismic settlement, lateral spreading, foundation analysis for bridge, assessment of global slope stability, and design of pavement structural section in accordance with the Caltrans method. Task 4.5 - Foundation Report EMI will prepare a foundation report to provide all the geotechnical design and construction recommendations for the project. The foundation report will include recommendations for bridge, slopes, and pavement structural sections. EMI will address any comments resulting from the City's review and prepare a final foundation report. TASK 5. HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS (PHASE I & PHASE 11) Michael Baker will prepare hydraulic reports to demonstrate the project's ability to capture and convey the 100 -year storm per city of La Quinta standards, city of La Quinta Master Drainage Study, and CVWD freeboard requirements. The reports will be formatted to address specific agency requirements and concerns. The hydrologic and hydraulic analysis shall consider the full drainage area that includes the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50 to determine the most appropriate drainage solutions for the project. Michael Baker will also coordinate with CVWD in conjunction with the City. The reports necessary to obtain approvals are listed in the individual sub -tasks. I N T E R N AT 1 0 N A L CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 18 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT Task 5.1 - CVWD Channel Basis of Design Report - Stage 1 (Phase 1 task) Coordination with CVWD will be performed to obtain the existing hydraulic and hydrologic data and models for the La Quinta Evacuation Channel. The CVWD Channel Basis of Design (BOD) Report - Stage 1 will be prepared in accordance with the CVWD Development Design Manual (DDM) Appendix K-1 to provide the existing condition baseline. Assumptions: Electronic copies of one-dimensional HEC -RAS models will be provided by CVWD for the channel effective model. This model will be updated using the project topographic mapping to establish the existing condition. Preparation of two-dimensional models is not included in this scope. Two rounds of review and comments by CVWD are anticipated. Deliverables: CVWD Channel BOD Report - Stage 1 concurrence from CVWD Task 5.2 - CVWD Channel Basis of Design Report - Stage 2 (Phase 1 task) The Stage 1 BOD is expanded to include the proposed conditions using the Bridge Type Selection General Plan. The proposed bridge and channel lining are added into the model created for the Stage 1 BOD. Because the Stage 2 BOD is required during Phase 1, the scour calculations will be performed on a preliminary basis using estimated grain -sizes for the channel invert material. The Roadway Preliminary Drainage report results will be used to create preliminary designs for the channel outfall structures for the relocation of the existing storm drain on the western bank of the channel, and the new storm drain on the eastern bank of the channel. Channel access requirements will be discussed with CVWD, and preliminary Channel Access Roads will be developed. Assumptions: The HEC -RAS models from Task 5.1 will be updated. Scour calculations will be performed per "Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 18 Evaluating Scour at Bridges, Fifth Ed" (FHWA2012) [HEC -18]. HEC -18 recommends that for a 100 -year Hydraulic Design the 200 -year event is used for the scour design and 500- yearr storm event used for the scour design check flood. Three rounds of review and comment by CVWD are anticipated. Deliverables: CVWD Channel BOD Report - Stage 2 concurrence from CVWD Task 5.3 - CVWD Channel Basis of Design Report - Stage 3 (Phase 2 task) The Stage 2 BOD is updated for final design using the Bridge Type Selection Report General Plan. The final design version of the bridge and channel lining are updated for the model created for the Stage 2 BOD. Because the Stage 3 BOD is prepared during Phase 2, the scour calculations performed during Task 5.2 will be revised based on the sieve analysis of the channel invert material obtained during the geotechnical investigation. Channel outfall designs for the eastern and western storm drains will be updated based on the roadway final drainage report. Channel access ramps will be finalized. In addition to preparing the report, this task includes coordination with CVWD to obtain plan sheet approvals for the channel improvements and to obtain the encroachment permit for the project. Assumptions: The assumptions for the CVWD BOD Stage 2 task apply to the CVWD BOD Stage 3 report as well. In addition, preparation of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is not expected because of CVWD's requirements to match existing freeboard within the channels within 0.5 feet. Therefore, preparation of a CLOMR and LOMR is excluded from this scope. Levee accreditation is excluded from this scope but can be provided as an optional service. Deliverables: CVWD Channel BOD Report - Stage 3 concurrence from CVWDLCVWD Encroachment Permit Task 5.4 - Caltrans Preliminary Hydraulic Report (Phase 1 task) A Preliminary Hydraulic Report (PHR) cover letter will be prepared to accompany the CVWD Stage 2 BOD submittal to Caltrans headquarters structures in support of the type selection for the bridge. This PHR will not include any additional hydraulic analysis but will provide data to Caltrans in their specific format per Caltrans Memo to Designers 16-1 (MTD 16-1). MTD 16-1 combines the elements of scour in different categories than are used by CVWD. The scour elements are all calculated in the CVWD Stage 2 BOD but are summarized in the PHR Cover Letter. Assumptions: No new hydraulics or hydrology calculations will be performed for the PHR. One round of comments and responses is assumed. Deliverables: Caltrans format PHR cover letter to the CVWD Stage 2 BOD Task 5.5 - Caltrans Final Hydraulic Report (Phase 2 task) Like the PHR, a final hydraulic report (FHR) cover letter will be prepared to accompany the CVWD Stage 3 BOD submittal to Caltrans headquarters structures in support of the type selection for the bridge. This FHR will not include any additional hydraulic analysis but will provide data to Caltrans in their specific format per Caltrans Memo to Designers 16-1 (MTD 16-1). MTD 16-1 combines the elements of scour in different categories than are used by CVWD. The scour elements are all calculated in the CVWD Stage 3 BOD but are summarized in the PHR cover letter. Assumptions: No new hydraulics or hydrology calculations will be performed for the FHR. One round of comments and responses is assumed. Deliverables: Caltrans format FHR cover letter to the CVWD Stage 3 BOD Task 5.6 - Roadway Preliminary Drainage Report (Phase 1 task) The roadway preliminary drainage report will evaluate the local drainage systems and runoff that is currently entering the La Quinta Evacuation Channel via surface flow into the low water crossing. Because the bridge improvements will alter these drainage patterns, new drainage facilities will be needed along Avenue 50. The off-site runoff from the existing developments and street surface flow will be evaluated for the proposed condition. Off-site hydraulic analysis will be performed to identify run-on flow entering Avenue 50 to size the new channel outfalls. The existing storm drain serving the Avenue 50/Washington Street intersection will require relocation due to the bridge abutments. Existing hydrology for this system and pipe sizing calculations to accommodate roadway runoff will be performed to size the relocation of this channel outfall. Assumptions: Design assumptions for Task 5.7 apply. Preliminary storm drain layouts of pipes and catch basins will be provided. No pipe/storm drain profiles will be prepared. Two rounds of comments and responses are assumed. Deliverables: Roadway preliminary drainage report generally consisting of project description, approach, assumptions, results, I N T E R N AT 1 0 N A L CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 19 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT conclusion, location map, hydrology maps/exhibits, off-site hydrology calculations, preliminary inlet sizing calculations and preliminary pipe sizing calculations; an exhibit showing preliminary pipe layouts and preliminary inlet sizes and locations; preliminary storm drain quantities; and preliminary estimate of probable cost Task 5.7 - Roadway Final Drainage Report (Phase 2 task) The roadway final drainage report will use the off-site analysis from the previous phase and update the roadway analysis based on the final design plans and surfaces. Roadway hydrology and inlet interception calculations will be updated. Pipe hydraulics will be performed based on the final design storm drain profiles. Assumptions: It is assumed that on-site detention of storm events will not be required. This report will accompany the 65%, 90% and 100% roadway plan submittals. The City's master drainage plan does not show any planned regional storm drain improvements, and therefore regional storm drain improvements are not included in this scope. Improvements to Line SAI -5 identified in the La Quinta Focused Drainage Study (Michael Baker, 2017) that fall within the project limits will be incorporated; however, improvements to this storm drain system beyond the roadway improvements necessary to construct the Avenue 50 Bridge are not included in this scope. Design for a full replacement and upgrade of the drainage within the Avenue 50/Washington Street intersection are available as an optional service but are not currently considered within this scope. Deliverables: Roadway Final Drainage report includes of project description, approach, assumptions, results, conclusion, location map, hydrology maps and exhibits, off-site hydrology calculations, inlet sizing calculations and pipe sizing calculations; roadway drainage plans with pipe alignments and profiles, inlet sizes and locations; storm drain quantities; and estimate of probable cost Task 5.8 - NPDES Compliance (Phase 2 task) Michael Baker will prepare a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) and provide qualified SWPPP developer (QSD) services for the Avenue 50 Bridge Project under the 2022 CGP. The QSD will perform a risk assessment based on project schedule, location, topography, and soil information. Michael Baker will then produce a SWPPP that is in compliance with the appropriate risk level. The SWPPP will identify the prescribed permit requirements and will clearly state the measures necessary to ensure compliance with the construction general permit. Assumptions: The proposed project is located within the Whitewater Watershed, which does not fall within a sediment TMDL or TMDL watershed identified in the 2022 CGP. Due to project location, it is assumed that this will be a Risk Level 1 project. The SWPPP and all required elements (including the construction site monitoring plan and BMP drawings) will be prepared according to risk -specific requirements. This scope of services does not include NOI, SMARTS data entry, WDID, QSD inspections, annual reporting, formal change of information or notice of termination documentation. Because this project does not meet the definition of a priority development project according to the Whitewater River Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) template, the preparation of a WQMP is not included in this scope. Because this is not a Caltrans project, a rapid stability analysis is not likely necessary and is therefore excluded from this scope. Deliverables: SWPPP Document INTERNATIONAL TASK 6. ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL (PHASE 1) Michael Baker understands that the City intends to use federal funding for the project. Thus, the proposed project will require a diligent environmental review under both NEPA and CEQA to allow for project approval. Based on available project information, Caltrans District 8 will be the lead agency for the NEPA action because of the City's receipt of federal funding. The City will be the lead agency under CEQA. A detailed environmental work program for the proposed project is provided below. Task 6.1 - Project Initiation and Project Description Michael Baker will obtain and review available reference data for the project area, including policy documentation from the City, county of Riverside, state and federal agencies, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), and other agencies which may be affected by the project. This information, along with any environmental data and information available from the City, will become part of the foundation of the environmental documentation and will be reviewed and incorporated into the analysis, as deemed appropriate. A preliminary draft project description will be prepared that details the project location, proposed project characteristics, and permits and approvals that are required. The project description will include a summary of the project's local environmental setting. Exhibits depicting the regional and site vicinity will also be included. Michael Baker will submit the draft project description to the City for review and approval. Task 6.2 - Technical Studies This scope of work assumes all technical studies will be subject to up to two rounds of review by the City and Caltrans and up to two associated rounds of revisions by Michael Baker. Task 6.2.1- Noise Study Report Michael Baker has retained Terry A. Hayes and Associates (TAHA) to assist with preparation of the noise study report consistent with Caltrans guidance. Construction noise levels will be estimated using the Roadway Construction Noise Model. Changes in permanent noise associated with elevating the crossing and addition of travel lanes alternatives will be predicted using the traffic noise model. If noise levels approach or exceed the Caltrans noise abatement criteria, then noise abatement measures (soundwalls) will be evaluated based on benefits to receptors, acoustical feasibility, and reasonableness allowances. If necessary, avoidance or mitigation measures will be included to minimize or eliminate adverse construction noise impacts. A noise abatement decision report is required to be prepared if predicted noise levels exceed the noise abatement criteria. The noise abatement decision report will include noise abatement reasonableness allowances; acoustical feasibility of noise abatement; locations and dimensions of evaluated noise barriers; approved cost estimates of acoustically feasible noise abatement; and non -acoustical feasibility issues of proposed noise abatement based on the best available design information available. The noise abatement decision report summarizes key information from the noise study report and provides recommendations for soundwalls based on feasibility, number of benefited receptors, and cost. CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 20 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT The final noise abatement decision report will be signed by the project engineer after completion of the noise study report and prior to publication of the draft environmental document. Task 6.2.2 -Air Quality Report TAHA will prepare an air quality report consistent with the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER). It will summarize existing conditions and discuss applicable air quality regulations, including rules and regulations established by federal and State agencies along with the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Air pollutant emissions associated with construction activities will be estimated using schedule and fleet inventory information developed through coordination with the City and regionally specific modeling default values (if necessary). Criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions will be estimated using the Roadway Construction Emissions Model. Criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions associated with changes in vehicle activities will be estimated using vehicle delay data provided by the project team and tailpipe emission rates obtained from the California Air Resources Board Emission Factor model. In addition, per the Caltrans SER, TAHA will assess the potential for carbon monoxide hot -spots using the Transportation Project - Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol and mobile source air toxics using the Federal Highway Administration Interim Guidance Update on Mobile Source Air Toxic Analysis in NEPA. TAHA will complete the Transportation Air Quality Conformity Findings Checklist, which will likely conclude that the project is not exempt from regional or project -level transportation conformity requirements. If the proposed project is not exempt, TAHA will present the proposed project to the Transportation Conformity Working Group. TAHA will prepare an Air Quality Conformity Assessment to document the findings. Task 6.2.3 - Phase I Initial Site Assessment Michael Baker will prepare a Phase I Initial Site Assessment (ISA) for the proposed project. The ISA will be prepared in accordance with the ASTM International (ASTM) Standard Practice E 1527- 21 and the Caltrans SER. This scope of work assumes analysis of up to one build alternative will be considered for the proposed project and up to two Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APNs) will be considered for permanent acquisition. The Phase I ISA will consist of four components: records review; site reconnaissance; interviews; and report preparation. Michael Baker will document past activities, facilities, and waste disposal practices, which may have resulted in soil or groundwater contamination (based on readily available information). Past site usage will be investigated through an aerial photograph review, interviews (if persons] are readily available), review of former permits, review of documents on file with applicable agencies, and research of former citations from state and local agencies. Current site conditions will be documented by an on-site inspection of the project area. A review of the commercial database summaries, provided by EDR LightBox, regarding public agency records will be included. Regulatory sites within and surrounding the project area will be mapped within a one -mile radius (as required by the ASTM E 1527-21 search radius requirements). Potentially hazardous materials conditions within the project site will be considered based on the database search. The report will include a summary of the report findings and a discussion of our opinions and conclusions regarding the absence or presence of RECs in connection with the subject site. INTERNATIONAL Task 6.2.4 - Water Quality Technical Memorandum A Water Quality Technical Memorandum (WQTM) document will be developed for use in the NEPA/CEQA document. The WQTM will qualitatively discuss the project's impacts on receiving water quality during construction and post -construction conditions based on the region's applicable stormwater regulations and consistent with the City of La Quinta's requirements as described in the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Stormwater Permit within the Whitewater River Basin (Order Number R7-2013-0011, or equivalent in effect). It will characterize the baseline water quality conditions, identify the potential water quality issues from developing the project, and identify applicable mitigation measures (best management practices). Task 6.2.5 - Location Hydraulic Study/Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report Michael Baker will prepare a Location Hydraulics Study (LHS) in accordance with Chapter 17 of the Caltrans SER. Hydraulics will be based on the Stage 2 BOD. Michael Baker will prepare a Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report (SFER) based on the LHS in support of the environmental document and project report. This scope of work assumes that the proposed alternative will not cause a floodplain encroachment as defined by 23 CFR 650.105 and is consistent with the existing watershed and floodplain management programs. The SFER will discuss potential impacts and recommend mitigation measures related to floodplain encroachment, flood related hazards, natural or beneficial floodplain values, access interruption, and the community floodplain development plan. Task 6.2.6 - Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts) Michael Baker will prepare a Natural Environment Study - Minimal Impacts (NES -MI) that will discuss the existing biological resources on-site and evaluate the potential for various special - status plants, wildlife, and vegetation communities to occur within the Biological Study Area (BSA; project site, plus a survey buffer). Prior to conducting field work, Michael Baker will review previously documented biological information for the project site, including database records and the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). This will allow Michael Baker to focus their field investigation on federally and state listed species, as well as MSHCP-covered species and habitats known to occur within the vicinity of the project sites. Following the literature review, Michael Baker will systematically survey the project site to document baseline biological conditions and evaluate the site's potential to support special -status plant and wildlife species, including habitats and species covered under the MSHCP. Upon obtaining baseline information, a NES -MI report will be prepared and will include a discussion of impacts to biological resources, and recommendations to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Figures are anticipated to depict the regional vicinity on relief; survey area on a topographic quadrangle; survey area and project site with clear, single -layer temporary and permanent project boundaries; USDA soils on aerial; vegetation communities, land uses, and special -status species observed (if any) on aerial; MSHCP planning and survey areas on aerial; and special -status biological resources documented within a 5 -mile radius of the survey area on relief. CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 21 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT Task 6.2.7 —Jurisdictional Delineation Construction of a new bridge across the La Quinta Evacuation Channel has potential to impact state and federal jurisdictional resources. As such, Michael Baker will conduct field surveys and perform a delineation of jurisdictional "waters of the United States" and "waters of the state" (including potential wetlands), located within or immediately adjacent to the boundaries of the project site. The jurisdictional delineation will determine jurisdictional impacts associated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and Regional Water Quality Control Board. Prior to surveying the project site, Michael Baker will conduct a literature review of relevant information to support the site reconnaissance and report preparation. Once the site visit is complete and the project site's baseline information is obtained, Michael Baker will prepare a letter report discussing on-site jurisdictional areas, potential impacts, and any regulatory agency approvals that may be required for the proposed project. Task 6.2.8 — Section 4(f) Memorandum Michael Baker will prepare a Section 4(f) Evaluation to meet the Section 4(f) requirements of the Department of Transportation Act (49 USC 303). The Section 4(f) Evaluation will identify and discuss the applicability of Section 4(f) to the publicly owned public parks, recreational areas of national, State, or local significance; wildlife or waterfowl refuges; and lands from a historic site of national, State, or local significance that could be used by the project. The Section 4(f) Evaluation will provide a description of each resource protected by the provisions of Section 4(f). The Section 4(f) Evaluation will analyze the potential "use" of the resource including "temporary occupancy," "constructive use," and "proximity impacts," if applicable. A determination will be provided along with an explanation for the selected determination. Avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures will be included, if required, to reduce potential effects to the Section 4(f) resources. This scope of work assumes there are no historic sites listed on or eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places that would be protected by the provisions of Section 4(f) that would be used by this project. This scope of work assumes there are no wildlife or waterfowl refuges protected by the provisions of Section 4(f) that would be used by this project. This scope assumes a "No Use" or "De Minimis" determination. Task 6.2.9 — Visual Analysis Michael Baker will prepare an Abbreviated Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) in accordance with the annotated outline for a Minor VIA recommended by the Caltrans Landscape Architecture Program. Michael Baker staff will conduct a field reconnaissance, at which time on-site and adjacent visual resources will be documented. Per the FHWA Guidelines for the VIA of Highway Projects, visual simulations are unlikely for an Abbreviated VIA. Visual simulations and viewshed mapping are not included in this scope of work. A licensed Landscape Architect will oversee this task. Avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce the visual impacts from the project. Task 6.2. 10 — Historic Property Survey Report/Archaeological Survey Report/Native American Coordination Michael Baker has retained Cogstone to prepare an Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map, Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), and Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR). Cogstone will prepare the HPSR to summarize the results of the INTERNATIONAL ASR for Caltrans approval and for State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurrence. The HPSR will summarize the project description, APE, research and identification of cultural resources, consultation efforts with interested public parties and Native American Tribes, and document the proposed effects findings, as appropriate. Cogstone will develop an APE Map in compliance with Caltrans guidelines. The HPSR will be submitted to Caltrans for approval before it is submitted to SHPO for concurrence. The ASR will consist of a California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) cultural resources records search, geoarchaeological analysis, background research, and an intensive pedestrian survey of exposed ground surfaces within the APE. As part of the records search, Cogstone will request a Sacred Lands File search from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). Key tasks include: Cultural Records Search: Cogstone will request a CHRIS records search for cultural resources within a one -mile radius of the Project APE from the Eastern Information Center (EIC). A review of all relevant archival records (e.g., historic maps and aerials) will be conducted, and all site records will be obtained. Note: The response time for records search results is longer than normal and it is taking approximately 60 days to receive the results of the records search. Geoarchaeological Analysis: Cogstone will conduct a geoarchaeological analysis to determine the sensitivity for subsurface archaeological deposits. Historical Society Consultations: Cogstone will contact interested local historic preservation groups to obtain information and concerns regarding the APE. Cogstone will follow-up two times. All letters will be sent via USPS Certified Mail. Background Research: Cogstone will conduct research to develop brief contexts for prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic resources. Survey: Cogstone will conduct an intensive pedestrian archaeological survey by a qualified archaeologist of the entire APE. We assume two archaeological resources, P-33-001180 and P-33-008226 will require updating on California Department of Parks and Recreation 523 (DPR 523) forms. Deliverables: Prepare the ASR in accordance with Volume 2 (Cultural) of Caltrans' SER. Task 6.2.11— Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Michael Baker will conduct a VMT analysis consistent with the County of Riverside Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service, Vehicle Miles Traveled (December 2020) for the proposed bridge replacement project. The project will be evaluated to determine if it can be screened out of a VMT analysis, or it if a full VMT assessment including a VMT calculation will be required. An initial review of the project indicates that it will include capacity adding features which could result in "induced demand," which require the evaluation of VMT analysis. However, per the County's VMT guidelines, transportation projects that may screen out include those that add bicycle and pedestrian capacity. A comprehensive screening analysis will be conducted based on key project features to determine if the project can be screened out. This evaluation will be documented in a VMT Screening Memorandum. In the event that a full VMT analysis is required, Michael Baker can provide these services under a separate scope and fee. CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 22 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT Task 6.3 - NEPA Clearance Task 6.3.1- Preliminary Environmental Study Form Michael Baker will prepare a Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form in accordance with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) environmental reporting criteria. The PES Form will provide a preliminary analysis of potential environmental impacts associated with the project and identify environmental issues that may require further detailed study. The PES Form will be submitted to the City/Caltrans for concurrence prior to the initiation of the technical study work program. Caltrans will be responsible for a determination of the appropriate scope of work for the project. A final determination regarding the range of technical studies and appropriate NEPA action cannot be made until Caltrans approves the PES Form for the project. However, based upon Consultant's experience on similar Caltrans Local Assistance projects and our knowledge of the project area, it is anticipated that a Categorical Exclusion (with appropriate technical studies as outlined above) will apply to the project. Task 6.3.2 - Categorical Exclusion On behalf of the City, Michael Baker will forward all supporting NEPA technical studies and preliminary engineering documentation demonstrating that significant environmental effects will not result with project implementation. This submittal will consist of a draft Categorical Exclusion and technical study package with formal request to Caltrans for approval. Task 6.4 - CEO.A Clearance Task 6.4. 1 -Research and Investigation Michael Baker will obtain and review available reference data for the project area, including policy documentation from the City, County of Riverside, State and federal agencies, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), and other agencies which may be affected by the project. This information, along with any environmental data and information available from the City, will become part of the foundation of the environmental documentation and will be reviewed and incorporated into the analysis, as deemed appropriate. Task 6.4.2 -Administrative Draft IS/MND Michael Baker will prepare an Initial Study in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines. The Initial Study will include detailed explanations of all checklist determinations and discussions of potential environmental impacts. The analysis shall be in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21080 (c) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15070. The Environmental Analysis sections will provide vital supporting information for the conclusions rendered for the Environmental Checklist. In accordance with Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, this section include a detailed review of the following issues: Aesthetics; Mineral Resources; Agricultural and Forestry Resources; Noise; Air Quality; Population/Housing; Biological Resources; Public Services; Cultural Resources; Energy; Recreation; Transportation; Geology/Soils; Tribal Cultural Resources; Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Utilities/Service Systems; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology/Water Quality; Wildlfire; Mandatory Findings of Significance; Land Use/Planning Each topical impact area will be analyzed in detail based upon existing information or technical analyses described above. The existing environmental setting related to each impact topic will be INTERNATIONAL provided, and a summary of the project's potential impacts will be discussed. Where necessary, project design features or mitigation measures will be provided to minimize impacts to a level below significance. Task 6.4.3 - Preliminary Draft IS/MND Michael Baker will respond to one compiled set of City comments on the Administrative Draft IS/MND. We will provide the revised document with all revisions made in track changes to assist in document review. Task 6.4.4 - Public Review Draft IS/MND Michael Baker will respond to one compiled set of City comments on the Preliminary Draft IS/MND and will finalize the document for public review. With a conclusion in the IS/MND that no significant environmental effects will occur because of implementation of the project, a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be prepared. Following this determination, Michael Baker will prepare the Notice of Intent (N01) to Adopt and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for City review. The N01 and Mitigated Negative Declaration will be attached to the IS/MND to fully explain the proposed project and its affects. Michael Baker will provide the submittal to the State Clearinghouse and additional distribution as directed by the City. Consultant will also post the N01 at the County Clerk at the onset of the public review period. This task assumes that the City would be responsible for any radius mailing or newspaper noticing required to support the public review process. Task 6.4.5 - Responses to Comments Consultant will respond to comments received on the Draft IS/ MND during the public review period. Consultant will prepare thorough, reasoned, and sensitive responses to relevant environmental issues. This task includes written responses to both written and oral comments received on the Draft document (includes review of hearing transcripts, as required). The draft responses will be prepared for review by City Staff. For budgeting purposes, we have assumed a total of 30 hours to prepare the Response to Comments. Should the comments be excessive and require more than the budgeted time, this task would be revisited under a separate scope and fee. Task 6.4.6 -Final IS/MND Michael Baker will prepare a draft final document for City review and approval. The Final document will consist of the revised Draft text, as necessary to address the comments received on the Draft document. The Final document will include a purpose subsection, reference the review process, comments received, responses and any required edits/updates to the Public Review document. Also included in the final document is the MMRP in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 (AB 3180). Michael Baker will prepare the Notice of Determination (NOD), file it with the State Clearinghouse, and file the notice at the County Clerk's office. This scope of work assumes that the City would be responsible for the payment of any required filing fees for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Task 6.4.7 - Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program To comply with the Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 (AB 32180), Michael Baker will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) to be defined through working with City staff to identify appropriate monitoring steps/procedures and to provide a basis for monitoring such measures during and upon project implementation. The MMRP will indicate the mitigation CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT ■ PAGE 23 CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ AVENUE 50 BRIDGE PROJECT measure number as outlined in the IS/MND, a list of Mitigation Measures/Conditions of Approval (in chronological order under the appropriate topic), the Monitoring Milestone (at what agency/ department responsible for verifying implementation of the measure), Method of Verification (documentation, field checks, etc.), and a verification section for the initials of the verifying individual date of verification, and pertinent remarks.
