Avenue Phase 2 Improvements will widen Warner Avenue between Oak Street and Wright Street
from a four -lane roadway to a six -lane arterial to address safety issues and provide adequate
vehicular capacity. The project scope of work involves providing professional engineering design
services to prepare plans, specifications, and estimates for the street improvements and widening,
including but not limited to the installation of parkway, raised median landscape, storm drain,
protected bike lanes, soundwalls, street lights, traffic signals, and potential undergrounding
overhead utility facilities.
On November 29, 2017, the Public Works Agency posted a request for proposals (RFP) on the
City website inviting qualified firms to submit proposals for professional engineering design
services. A Notice Inviting Proposals was subsequently published in the Orange County Register
on December 4, 2017, and December 8, 2017. On December 21, 2017, 10 proposals were
received and subsequently evaluated by an evaluation committee comprised of staff from the
Public Works Agency for content and responsiveness to the RFP. Each firm was rated according

Warner Avenue Street Improvements 1/10/2018
Scope of Services
The tasks below are intended to supplement and clarify the scope items in the RFP, to
demonstrate phases of our services, tasks, and deliverables to be completed. Additional items
that may be required to complete the scope of services are described at the end of this section
under the heading Optional Items. Design plans and reports indicated will follow the City's
standard format, unless indicated otherwise. A drawing list indicating anticipated sheet count is
included with our fee in the separate sealed envelope. We understand that the City intends to
have two PS&E packages for the Warner Avenue improvements from Oak Street to Grand
Avenue and from Grand Avenue to Wright Street. This has been reflected on our sheet count.
We have reviewed City's provided surveying data and we don't anticipate a need for additional
surveying at this time. However, we may require a field surveying at the completion of Right -of -
Way acquisition and building demolition to match proposed improvements to lines and grades..
We assume a 22 -month schedule for design beginning January 2018 with design services
completed by October 2019. Our proposed schedule is provided at the end of this section.
Task 1: Project Management and Coordination
Kimley-Horn team members will attend an initial kick-off meeting to confirm project elements,
objectives, scope, and schedule; and attend monthly PDT coordination meetings with the City.
We will document significant items of discussion and decisions made during these meetings and
forward to the City's Project Manager. This encompasses review and comments in response to
the City's staff ideas. We will conduct meetings and conference calls and provide pertinent
meeting minutes with action items and will prepare monthly progress reports, as part of the
invoice package. This will also entail phone and email communications. We anticipate the
following meetings:
• One Kickoff Meeting
• PDT Focus Meetings
As part of this task, a Gantt Chart format Target Schedule will be provided showing primary
tasks and review periods/processing, as agreed with the City. Kimley-Horn will maintain a
Progress Schedule showing actual progress versus target and provide to the City on a monthly
basis.
Deliverables: Meeting agendas, meeting minutes, action items, progress reports, invoicing, draft
target schedu/e, monthly updated schedule
Task 2: Record Research and Utility Coordination
Kimley-Horn will obtain readily available record drawings and data pertinent to the scope of
services, such as GIS mapping, as -built plans, and utility atlases. We will initiate the utility
notification process early in the design stages and identify potential conflicts. We will maintain a
utility agency tracking list to indicate the status of communication and add a contact list for
substructure and utility owner -operators that will also carry over to the specifications. We will
assist the City with utility notification letters consisting of the following:
1. Utility Information Request
2. Prepare to Relocate Notice/Final Utility Notice Form
3. Notice to Relocate
These letters will notify the utility agency of the Project, describe anticipated impacts and
identify action required. We will provide follow-up calls to non-responsive agencies and
generate a utility disposition matrix to serve as documentation and aid in tracking this task. We
assume that utility notices will be on the City's letterhead.

Kimley>Morn
Warner Avenue Street Improvements 1/10/2018
Deliverables: Utility agency tracking List, utility notification letters.
Task 3: Geotechnical Study
Infiltration Test and Soil Suitability: Our team will conduct a geotechnical field review as
follows:
• Percolation rate test at eight locations to the depth of 8 feet
• Agronomy/soil fertility laboratory testing encompassing major element fertility package,
agricultural suitability package, and USDA particle size analysis
• One hollow stem auger boring to the depth of approximately 50 feet bgs and two CPT to
a maximum depth of 50 feet bgs or refusal
• Obtain bulk, soil samples at selected depths
We will compile data and geotechnical analysis of the field and laboratory tests consisting of
analyses to evaluate and provide recommendations pertaining to the following:
• Percolation rate characteristics of the soils
• Grain Size Distribution and Atterberg Limits/Plasticity Index
Moisture content
• Suitability of the on-site soils for landscape improvements
We will prepare a report presenting the results of field exploration, geotechnical laboratory
testing, engineering analyses, as well as conclusions and recommendations relative to the
project. Soil'management'report will'addfdbt the`recommendations for arhendments'for
optimum soil for plantings.
Pavement Evaluation: We will provide the following services:
• Subsurface exploration consisting of the excavation, sampling, and logging of six hand
excavated cores to depths of approximately five feet, or refusal within the project limits.
The purpose of the pavement borings will be to observe the existing structural pavement
sections and collect soil samples for geotechnical laboratory testing.
Our team will compile data and geotechnical analysis of the field and laboratory tests with
analyses to evaluate and provide recommendations pertaining to the following:
• Evaluate the R -value and in-place moisture content of subsurface soils.
• Evaluate Expansion Index and Corrosion potential of subsurface soils,
• Excavation and compaction requirements, including suitability of the on-site soils for
subgrade material for the proposed improvements,
• Analysis and design of new pavement construction and pavement rehabilitation
alternatives. The analysis will be performed in general accordance with the Caltrans
Highway Design Manual design method.
• Provide recommendation for sidewalk improvement.
We assume that the 10- and 20 -year design traffic indices (TI) for the subject streets will be
provided to us by the City for our analyses. We assume traffic control for pavement borings and
percolation tests will be based on Work Area Traffic Control Handbook (WATCH) manual.

Preparation of traffic control plans; hot -mix asphalt patching and Full -Depth Reclamation
Recommendations are excluded for this task.
Deliverables: Draft Pavement and Soil Material Report, Final Pavement Report and Soil Material
Report.
Task 4: Hydraulic/Hydrology Analysis
Our team will prepare a Drainage Report to address hydrology and hydraulics for the site per
Orange County Hydrology Manual and Orange County Local Drainage Manual requirements
and will provide design recommendations. Modification of existing catch basins and connections
to the storm drain main line are anticipated as part of the project. Modifications are intended to
maintain existing drainage patterns and flows. Calculations will consist of comparing the pre -
and post -project conditions at the site. Evaluation and recommendations are limited to the
impacted portion of the storm drain within the project site, Catch basins will be incorporated into
design, where necessary, i.e. to limit flooded width, and at low points. Evaluation of the
downstream or upstream existing storm drain system is not anticipated for this task. We will
address one round of consolidated City comments before preparing the final deliverable.
Deliverables: Draft hydrology and hydraulic analysis and drainage report, final hydrology and
hydraulic analysis and drainage report.
Task 5: Water Quality
Kimley-Horn will develop a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for the project in
compliance with, and meeting the requirements of Order No. RB-2009-0030/NPDES No.
CAS618030, of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The WQMP
will incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMP) to the
Maximum Extent Practical (MEP). For example, the use of bioretention facilities within
landscaped parkway areas will be in accordance with the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) Green Street standards. If traditional LID BMPs cannot be
incorporated, appropriate proprietary BMPs will be selected to improve water quality. If
proprietary items are needed, these will be indicated in compliance with the City's adopted
public contracting code. We will address one round of consolidated City comments before
preparing the final deliverable.
Deliverables: Draft WQMP, final WQMP.
Task 6: Precise Alignment and Geometry Design
The project team will refine the preferred alignment provided by the City part of the RFP. We will
identify geometry constraints for roadway widening, turn pockets, bike lanes, sidewalks, and
other street features, to confirm their compatibility with the existing conditions and proposed
widening.
Establishing geometry design for the mid -street and bike lane median will also be part of this
work. We will incorporate traffic lanes configuration at intersections and changes of street cross
sections throughout the corridor considering new alignment. One review session with the City
staff of precise alignment will be part of this task. Design revisions will be reflected in 30%
