EXHIBIT 2 <br /> Consultant shall submit railroad bridge concept and plans to SCRRA via the City for <br /> review and approval. <br /> B. Geotechnical Design <br /> Geotechnical design shall be conducted in conformance with current City, Caltrans, and <br /> SCRRA standards, design manuals, and requirements. <br /> Consultant shall conduct a site visit to observe the topography and visualize the proposed <br /> improvements at the project location. Consultant shall review available subsurface data from <br /> nearby structures or published geologic maps, to determine general subsurface conditions at <br /> the project site. Geotechnical borings shall be performed by the Consultant. <br /> Consultant shall provide geotechnical, geologic and seismic design recommendations. <br /> Consultant shall provide geotechnical and foundation recommendations for roadway, bridge, <br /> retaining walls, and other structures as required. <br /> Consultant shall prepare a geotechnical, materials and bridge foundation report with <br /> information gathered during the site visit and review of existing subsurface data, geotechnical <br /> borings,results obtained from the alternative analysis and the preliminary bridge and retaining <br /> wall foundation data. <br /> Consultant shall prepare and submit a geotechnical review and exploration plan for the City to <br /> review. Consultant shall obtain right-of-entry permits prior to exploration. Geotechnical <br /> borings within the railroad ROW or adjacent with the potential to foul the tracks will require <br /> SCRRA review with right of entry permit, training, and flagging. Consultant shall conduct <br /> subsurface investigation and evaluate the results in accordance with specified testing criteria. <br /> Consultant shall analyze the results and present them in the geotechnical report. The <br /> geotechnical report shall be prepared to include recommendations for design and construction <br /> of bridge foundations, bridge type selection, earth retaining structures, cut and fill slopes, <br /> pavement, and drainage facilities. <br /> Results obtained from the field and laboratory testing shall be used to establish an idealized <br /> soil profile and strength parameters for bridge foundation design, and slope stability and <br /> settlement calculations for the approaches. Consultant shall provide information on <br /> remediation measures if the site soils are corrosive to concrete or steel structures. R-value shall <br /> be used to determine composite pavement structural sections using Traffic Indices. All reports <br /> shall be in accordance with Caltrans procedures,regulations,manuals, standards,policies, and <br /> format. The pavement structural sections shall be determined by a qualified Geotechnical <br /> Engineer in accordance with Caltrans policies and procedures. <br /> A qualified geotechnical engineer shall prepare a Geotechnical Report for foundation design <br /> of the bridge, and roadway pavement and embankment in accordance with Caltrans <br /> requirements. Sufficient borings and material samples shall be taken to determine the road <br /> structural section and slope stability. Consultant shall propose a Traffic Index (TI) for the all <br /> lanes and obtain City and Caltrans concurrence. It shall be the responsibility of the Consultant <br /> to notify Underground Service Alert and provide traffic control. Consultant shall tie position <br />
