■ AECOM Existing Utility Research We will provide utility research services to include: • Notify Underground Service Alert and request a listing of member utility companies within the project area. • Make a field reconnaissance of the utilities within the project area. • Send a written notice to the identified utility companies in the proposed project area notifying them of the proposed project, and request copies of their existing utility maps and information regarding their plans for future improvements. • Prepare a preliminary Utility Conflict Maps from record information and field observations showing those utilities to be protected in place and those to be relocated to clear construction. • Overhead lines will be located and vertical clearance will be determined over the proposed improvements to assure that minimum vertical clearance is maintained. • Determination of prior rights as they relate to responsibility for the cost of relocations. Deliverables: • Preliminary Utility Conflict Maps • Utility Data Summary • Matrix of Utility Owners • Description of Utility Conflicts • Responsibility for the cost Task 1.8 Right of Way Requirements Existing right-of-way information, including parcel boundaries will be shown on the alternative layout plans and used to determine the preliminary right-of-way requirements, which may be required for each alternative alignment. The cost of potential right-of- way acquisitions, if any, will be included in the cost estimate for each alternative. Legal descriptions will be prepared, and it is assumed up to 50 (this is excessive, but conservative) shall be required, and this shall be determined during the design. As the proposed alternative layout sheets are refined to include the information required for the PRE, the impacts to right-of-way will also be more thoroughly defined. This updated information will be shown on the right-of-way layout sheets and used to determine the preliminary right-of-way requirements for each alternative alignment. The cost of potential right-of- way acquisitions, including construction easements, will be included in the cost estimate for the PRE. A Right -Of -Way Data Sheet will be prepared and included in the PRE. During the design, right of way needs will be mapped for use in the right of way acquisition phase of the project. Deliverables: • Right of Way Requirements Maps Task 1.9 Drainage Analyses/Report Hydrology Study/Report - AECOM will prepare a hydrology study for the project area in order to recommend drainage systems adequate for the project improvements. These recommendations will be in the form of drainage plans, and associated cost estimates for these facilities, for inclusion into the PRE, and will ultimately form the basis of the Hydrology and Hydraulics Report prepared during the PS&E phase of the project. In addition, a preliminary WQMP will be prepared to identify any permanent BMP requirements for the project. Deliverables: • Hydrology Study • Preliminary WOMP Task 1.10 Quantities, Schedule and Estimate AECOM will calculate the preliminary level quantities, produce a preliminary level cost estimate, and produce a preliminary project schedule for inclusion into the PRE. Task 1.11 Project Report Equivalent (Draft and Final) AECOM will produce a Project Report, perthe requirements previously mentioned in this document. Deliverables.- * eliverables:• Project Report Equivalent (Draft and Final) Task 1.12 Environmental Documentation As with all projects the environmental phase of the project controls the schedule. In order for us to have a firmer grasp on this critical part of the schedule, AECOM will provide a task manager who was previously employed by Caltrans environmental. EveryTechnical Report written by our environmental subconsultant will be reviewed prior to submission to the District, and to perform this review with an eye towards commenting on what the Caltrans reviewer would comment on for the initial submittal of these reports. This process should ensure the team only receives a limited set of comments once the reports are submitted to Caltrans, that can be easily addressed, and therefore the approval of the report should be expected by the CITY upon the second submission. The environmental subconsultant, ICF Jones & Stokes, will perform the following specific scope of work required to complete the environmental documentation for the proposed project. Additional tasks or effort not specifically identified in this scope of work is not assumed or implied.
