Page 12 1 H T E R H A T I U N A L CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ WASHINGTON STREET SIDEWALK & AVENUE 50 SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS, 2023-03 & 2024-01 Relevant Experience Club Drive Complete Streets I Indian Wells, CA Michael Baker was contracted to prepare plans, specifications and estimate (PS&E) for the Club Drive Complete Streets Project. The project consisted of introducing new sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps and upgrading the bicycle facilities on Club Drive to connect pedestrians and bicyclists to a nearby shopping center. A new walkway within the private shopping center was designed to ensure a final smooth connection was provided. Michael Baker prepared a landscape concept plan with upgraded drought tolerant landscaping and accent lighting to accent the existing Palm Trees and serve as a gateway feature to the Indian Wells Country Club. Michael Baker prepared concept alternatives for the project and presented them to stakeholders at a public outreach meeting. Michael Baker then assisted the city in selecting a preferred alternative based on nearby business owners and the community feedback received. One design challenge was providing a new sidewalk directly adjacent to the guard booth entrance of the Indian Wells County Club. The entrance had a canopy with a tight vertical Common clearance so larger vehicles cannot access through this lane. Michael Baker was tasked with developing creative solutions that still provide access for larger vehicles but also provide a Christopher Alberts sidewalk for pedestrians all within city right-of-way without requiring extensive reconstruction to the guard booth. Michael Baker was also tasked with coordinating these changes with the city's Fire Access Maintenance District which operates as a separate department within the city. Another component to this project was developing a pavement rehabilitation strategy because the pavement condition on Club Drive is heavily deteriorated with excessive cracking. Michael Baker worked with the geotechnical subconsultant to undertake borings and prepare different pavement rehabilitation strategies ranging from grind and overlay to full depth replacements. Michael Baker prepared a PS&E package for Club Drive and assisted the City with construction support. Jackson Street Complete Streets I Indio, CA The City of Indio successfully received roughly $5 million dollars through the Clean California Grant program to beautify Jackson Street from Kenner Avenue to Avenue 45 (approximately 0.75 miles). The intent of the project is to visually transform Jackson Street to encourage pedestrians and bicyclists to use the corridor. Michael Baker is contracted with the City of Indio through an existing on -call agreement to provide PS&E for the proposed improvements. The work includes upgrading sidewalk, ADA ramps and driveways, installation of an artistic shade structure, Big Belly trash cans and upgrading landscaping and irrigation throughout the project. As part of the project, the City is installing a decorative shade structure that was designed by an artist. The Michael Baker team was responsible to coordinate the design of the structure with the artist. The Michael Baker structural team assisted the artist with the design of the steel used for the work, as well as foundation design for the proposed structures. The artist has created a dedicated website for "Shadowalk" and can be seen here: https:Hcivic.space/shadowalk/ Michael Baker's team performed a site visit with the City and Artists to determine the best locations to install the structure as well as identified deficiencies in sidewalk and ADA Christopher Alberts improvements along the corridor. As part of the curb ramp revisions, several crosswalks and intersections required upgrading and modifications to bring them into compliance with ADA. Additionally, the City worked with the Michael Baker team to perform the necessary public outreach as required through the grant funding opportunities. The PS&E has been completed, and the City closed bids in December of 2023. The City is in the process of awarding the construction contract. Additionally, the City has requested the Michael Baker team to stay on and provide construction management and inspection for the project. Specifically, the City is interested in the structural inspection and special materials/welding inspection for the proposed structure.

The project was funded through the District 8 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 7 program with the purpose of improving traffic safety within the intersections by reducing collisions. Traffic signal improvements included installing advance dilemma -zone detection systems and converting existing "five -head" permissive signals to protected left -turn phasing. Michael Baker delivered the final project plans, specifications and engineers estimate. Michael Baker supported the City of Palm Springs in preparing the Request for Authorization (RFA) for Construction and the City of Palm Springs was granted E-76 for Construction within the scheduled funding deadline. Michael Baker managed the development of the environmental document through a project subconsultant in order to obtain CEQA/NEPA environmental approvals. Replacement of existing protected/permissive left -turn operations with protected movements was evaluated in terms of both traffic operations level of service as well as compliance with the CAMUTCD left -turn indications and mast arm design. Design efforts included roadway plans, , ��h�_ . Murill,_ striping plans for crosswalk modifications, traffic signal plans, and quantity and cost estimates. The design team coordinated with the City, Caltrans' utility coordination staff, and utility owners to avoid any conflicts. Additionally, the design team analyzed and designed the pedestrian facilities at each of the intersections to comply with Caltrans' LAPM guidelines and City Standards. Yucca Loma Elementary Safe Routes to School Project I Town of Apple Valley, CA Michael Baker was contracted to prepare plans, specifications and estimate (PS&E) forthe Yucca Loma Safe Route to School Project, which provided a connection for students to safely access Yucca Loma Elementary School. The project is on Powhattan Road between the western end and Navajo Road and on Rancherias Road between Powhattan Road and Yucca Loma Elementary School. The scope of work included constructing new sidewalks, curb, and gutter. New high -visibility crosswalks will also be installed across Powhattan Road to ensure a north - south connection is provided to the school. Michael Baker upgraded an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp and reconstructing driveways to provide adequate clear widths and cross slopes. Drainage was a particular challenge on this project since there was no channelized flow and no drainage systems within the project limits. Right-of-way acquisition is anticipated for the new sidewalks and temporary construction easements are required for the driveway reconstruction work. Michael Baker was responsible for preparing the PS&E package, coordinating with the Division of the State Architect for approvals to the changes to Yucca Loma Elementary School access, overseeing right-of-way coordination, and providing construction bid support and construction support.

Page 1 12 INTERNILT10NAL CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ WASHINGTON STREET SIDEWALK & AVENUE 50 SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS, 2023-03 & 2024-01 1. WASHINGTON STREET SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT NO. 2023-03 Approach and Understanding The project aims to provide a meandering sidewalk along approximately 1,500 linear feet of Washington Street, between Calle Tampico and just south of the bridge that crosses the Channel, as shown below. Currently, there is some landscaping and utilities but no sidewalk. There is also a curb ramp at the southeast corner of Washington Street and the Village Shopping Center that currently does not connect to any pathway. The sidewalk features curb and gutter and a perimeter wall along the entirety of the project. Legen❑ Curb 13amp Meandering Sidewalk A SIDEWALK Although Standard Drawing 245 details a 6' to 8' meandering sidewalk, modifications are necessary due to the limited Right of Way (ROW) and to protect existing palm trees and utilities. The width of the sidewalk may vary to accommodate these features. To meet CBC Section 1113-403.5.1, Exception 3, a minimum clearance of 3 feet is required for accessibility. Existing plants, excluding palm trees, shall be removed as necessary to ensure an accessible path. Additionally, some utilities, signage, and guy wires (as shown in the image on the right), may need to be relocated or adjusted to grade to include the sidewalk. The street is expected to remain unchanged, with the project focusing on integrating the proposed sidewalk with the existing roadway. PERIMETER WALLS The perimeter wall requires an inspection to determine a solution for the spalling occurring along certain sections. CURB RAMPS There is one existing curb ramp that needs to be replaced to meet current accessibility standards. The curb ramp shall be integrated with the proposed sidewalk to facilitate circulation. Due to the traffic signal location, the connection shall be positioned between the traffic signal pole and the perimeter wall. It is assumed that a crosswalk will not be needed on the northeast corner. The layout of the curb ramp will be reviewed once the survey and mapping have been finalized to verify that the curb ramp fits within the ROW. Page 1 13 I R T E R H A T I U N A L CITY OF LA QUINTA ■ WASHINGTON STREET SIDEWALK & AVENUE 50 SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS, 2023-03 & 2024-01 Task 1.0 - Project Management, Coordination, and Meetings Task 1.1— Project Management, Coordination, and Meetings Michael Baker shall work with the City of La Quinta to schedule a project kickoff meeting (pre -design meeting) as well as planned status meetings with the City. Additional meetings with City Departments, City of La Quinta's sub -consultants as well as other key stakeholders will be scheduled and attended as necessary. Michael Baker shall provide meeting agendas with input from the City for each meeting and will prepare and distribute meeting minutes if requested. A total of twelve (12) meetings is assumed in this task which includes a field walk (in person), kick off meeting (virtual), and monthly meetings (virtual). On a monthly basis, Michael Baker will issue invoices and progress reports to the City detailing major items worked on during the billing period as well as percentage complete for each task. This report will include all necessary back up and will serve to establish internal accounting methods and procedures acceptable to the City for documenting and monitoring contract costs. It is understood that the City explicitly understands that project management, meetings, and coordination will be billed on a time and materials basis. Should the budgetary hours be exceeded, Michael Baker will notify the City and request a contract amendment for additional hours. Task 2.0 — Research and Investigation Task 2.1— Records Research and Field Investigation Michael Baker will complete the necessary research to gather and review available information such as tract maps, right of way maps, and record/as-built drawings. Our roadway team will conduct a field visit to photo document all locations. Assumptions: The City shall provide existing improvement as-builts, drainage, and other reports pertaining to the project and immediate surrounding area for use. Task 2.2 — Utility Research and Coordination Early coordination with the utility owners along the project limits is critical to expedited project delivery. Michael Baker will prepare Utility Request letters (on City letterhead), requesting utility owners to send their facility maps and as -built plans. We will coordinate with each utility owner until all responses are received. Michael Baker will maintain a current utility contact matrix including copies of notices sent, copies of responses received, plans received and any relevant correspondence. Once all plans have been received, Michael Baker will plot the utilities on the plans and probable conflicts will be noted and discussed with the City. Task 2.3 —Structural Investigation Michael Baker shall conduct a site visit to assess the existing boundary walls throughout the project area. Michael Baker will identify and document areas of damage, such as cracks, spalls, and other visible defects on the exposed surfaces of the walls. The assessment will be limited to visual inspections. Michael Baker will record identified damaged areas and compile a report detailing our findings, including photographs of the damaged sections. The report will also outline recommended repair methods for each area of damage. Upon client approval of the report, we will develop structural plans for the proposed repairs. The objective of these repairs is to address existing deficiencies and restore the retaining wall to its original condition as closely as possible. Task 3.0 — Survey Task 3.1—Topographical Survey Michael Baker will prepare a topographic Survey of the project site at 40 scale with 1 foot contour interval for the engineering team for design.
