Subject: Proposal for Project Study Report Equivalent and Conceptual Engineering Plans for
Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation Project
Dear Ms. Amirani:
Situated between 1 -5 to the east and downtown Santa Ana to the west, Santa Ana Boulevard offers the traveling public true
regional mobility with freeway access for vehicles and the adjacent Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center ( SARTC) for both
bus and rail. Mobility through this passageway however can sometimes be cumbersome due to the at -grade rail crossing of
the OCTA /SCRRA railroad (2 -track configuration). The construction of a railroad grade separation would greatly enhance travel
mobility, reducing delays, and provide a significant safety enhancement for both vehicles and pedestrians. The challenge will
be to determine the most cost effective solution which enhances the community while limiting impacts to the SARTC and 1 -5
freeway ramps, the traveling public during construction, and the residential neighborhood.
Here is where AECOM excels. Railroad grade separations are one of our specialties and we can bring a wealth of grade
separation expertise to the City. In the last 10 years alone, we have been at the helm of close to 50 railroad grade separations,
ranging from simple to the very complex. In doing so, we have served abroad range of clientele. In addition to our relevant
project experience, we also bring avast knowledge of how the City does business, coming from our Project Director, Mr. Pat
Somerville, who has worked for the City for the past ten years through our on -call engineering services contract.
We are eager to bring this expertise to the City to assist in moving this railroad grade separation project forward. To do so, we
are committing Mr. James Faber as the Project Manager. He has led the effort on many similar projects and has successfully and
efficiently delivered them on time and within, or below, budget. We are committing two well seasoned veterans in Edward Ng
(35 years) and Mohan Char (15 years) to lead the Civil and Structural efforts, respectively.
To summarize, the AECOM advantage on this project consists of:
• A complete understanding of a grade separation project and the process it entails, based upon our extensive project
expertise and the in depth know -how of our committed staff
• Staff availability; we are ready to start immediately
• Extensive experience of successfully working with the city, OCTA, and SCRRA
• Proven track record in timely and cost effective project delivery
• Demonstrated flexibility and responsiveness to changing project needs
On behalf of AECOM, I am proud to present this team of firms and staff to the City. We recognize the importance of the City's
undertaking and want to make sure "it happens" successfully.
The undersigned hereby states that: only the person, persons, company or parties interested in the proposal as principals
are named therein; the proposal is made without collusion with any other person, persons, company, or parties submitting a
proposal; the proposal is, in all respects, fair and in good faith without collusion or fraud; and, the signer of the proposal has full
authority to bind the principal proposer.
Sincerely

Project Understanding and Approach
Key Project Objectives
The purpose of this Project Approach is to demonstrate to
the City of Santa Ana (City) our team's grasp of the project
challenges and key issues, and to demonstrate our ability to
achieve the project objectives efficiently, cost effectively, and
expediently. Our technical review of the project requirements
and the site - specific constraints has enabled us to identify a
number of key project objectives:
• Maximize the City's "Bang for their Budget"
• Effective coordination with Southern California
Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) and the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA)
• Define /maintain a realistic and comprehensive
schedule for completion
• Define a detailed scope of services sufficient to
eliminate contract change orders
• Maintain project budget
• Identify and study (a minimum of) three (3) alternatives
that meet the need and purpose of the project
• Maintenance of traffic during construction
Maximize the City's "Bang for their Budget"
We have visited the project site, have come to a clear
understanding of the project challenges and issues, have
reviewed the scope of services, and have produced a
schedule for the completion of the scope of services. During
this time of coming to a thorough understanding of the
project, we have arrived at the conclusion the City can get
more for the budget they have allotted for this phase of the
project. We offer for the City's consideration, to complete
this phase and the next phase of the project, the Project
Approval /Environmental Document (PA /ED) Phase, for less
than the $1.3M stated as the Project Budget on page 15
of the RFP. Therefore, we propose to complete a PSRE, a
Project Report, and obtain environmental approval through
an approved ED for the project, all for under the budgeted
amount listed in the RFP. We can say this because we have
solicited a complete scope of services and a fee for obtaining
environmental clearance from our subconsultant ICF -Jones
and Stokes. The full scope for this is included for the City's
reference in the appendix, along with a schedule for this
proposed, expanded project definition. Our fee for this
expanded project definition is included separately, along with
our fee for the services defined in the RFP.
This strategy yields benefit to the City for the delivery and
completion of the project, since moving expediently into the
environmental phase will result in better project readiness.
The project becomes a real project sooner. With the
environmental phase completed, it can be better positioned
for funding, whether funding may ultimately come from OCTA,
or from another source, such as Federal stimulus funds,
where projects with environmental approval are clearly
favored. We understand clearly this project is grouped by
OCTA into the next phase of grade separation projects, with
the current phase under design, so with this next phase, there
may be stiff competition from other projects /cities with OCTA
for a potentially limited pool of available funds. Moving Santa
Ana Boulevard ahead of the others likely will yield budgetary
dividends.
We also provide, within AECOM, the ability to seek project
funding. On our team is Mr. John Barna, whose expertise
is project funding. As a former member of the California
Transportation Commission (CTC), Mr. Barna was intimately
involved with project funding decisions made by the CTC.
We plan on using Mr. Barna to assist our team and the City
in the hunt for funding. Additionally, with a project that has
achieved environmental clearance at an early time within the
project's development, we will have a strong candidate for
any funding that can be identified and competed for. AECOM
also has advocates that can seek out funding opportunities at
the Federal level.
Coordination with SCRRA and OCTA
It is very critical to the success of this project to effectively
coordinate and communicate with both SCRRA and OCTA.
As the City well knows, the railroad right of way within the
II�
e 4tl 000

ff I
project limits is owned by OCTA, and the railroad is operated
and maintained by SCRRA (BNSF, Amtrak, and the UPRR
have user rights). Because of this, any and all impacts to the
railroad infrastructure and operations need the approval of
first, and foremost, SCRRA, and ultimately OCTA.
AECOM offers the City the benefit of a vast amount of
experience working with SCRRA and OCTA, both at a company,
and an individual, level. On the company level, AECOM
currently holds on -call contracts with SCRRA for both design
and project management /construction management, and
through these contracts, have become very familiar with their
project development procedures and policies, and with their
staff. On an individual level, our proposed Project Manager,
Mr. James Faber, has recently completed an assignment with
SCRRA where he served as Project Manager for the Orange
County Grade Crossing Safety Enhancement Project. Through
this assignment, Mr. Faber gained valuable experience,
developed valuable relationships with their managers of
both SCRRA and OCTA, and obtained a clear understanding
of how they conduct their business of running the Metrolink
Railroad.
AECOM is also leading the effort on the Orangethorpe
Avenue grade separation project for OCTA, which gives us
a solid understanding of the OCTA expectations on grade
separations, especially related to the balance of project
needs and cost control.
We will bring this important experience and knowledge of
SCRRA and OCTA to bear on this project to assist the City
with its delivery, knowing full well we are working for the City,
as our client, and working with our partner stakeholders to
ensure this project's success.
Define /Maintain a Comprehensive Schedule
We feel one of the best ways to demonstrate our knowledge
and our strategy for developing the project is to produce
a comprehensive project schedule. This project schedule
is included as Figure 9 on page 17. We are committed to
aggressively pursue the schedule, once it is reviewed
and approved by the City. We will constantly monitor progress
to identify variances from said schedule to ensure that the
project is delivered on schedule, and institute corrective
measures in order to get back on track, if the need arises.
Define a Detailed Scope of Services
At AECOM, we partner with our clients in developing a
comprehensive scope of services, looking forward in planning
the tasks necessary to complete the project. We also
understand that projects take many unexpected turns along
the way, and we have a strong history of being able to roll with
these changes within our original budget. Our team will make
every attempt to address the unforeseen changes as they
arise in order to deliver the project within the agreed upon
budget with the City.
Maintain Project Budget
With these uncertain times, due to the State budget crisis,
project budgets, and the ability to fund such projects, or
programs, have become increasingly difficult and important.
We are acutely aware of the importance of maintaining and
maximizing the Project Budget. We will be constantly looking
for ways to engineer project savings with the design. In
addition, we think it is important to attempt to save design
dollars, by working more efficiently, and completing the
project with budget to spare. We feel if we are able to save
our clients a portion of the budget, then it will give them
the flexibility to utilize these savings to help fund other
projects. This has consistently been our practice in managing
our projects. We feel that, if we give something back to our
clients, while providing excellent client service, we have done
our job.
Roadway Alternatives
For the Project Study Report Equivalent (PSRE), we will
develop roadway alternatives to meet the need and purpose
of the project, and when these are developed in sufficient
...if we give something back to our clients,
while prov'id'ing excellent client service, we

detail, they will be scored based upon criterion defined by
the Project Development Team (PDT), including the definition
of the importance, in terms of point values, for each of the
factors used for comparison. It will be our responsibility
to thoroughly study these alternatives, so an accurate and
defensible account of each relative to the other can be
achieved. The RFP mentions developing "initial screening
criteria" to assist in this process, and this is exactly how we
develop the grade separation projects we have successfully
completed. We use a Comparison Matrix shown as Figure 3,
and have included an example within this proposal, located
immediately after the alternatives figures. This example has
been populated with very preliminary data, but serves well
to show how this tool assists in the differentiation of the
studied alternatives.
Three (3) alternatives are included in this proposal, more fully
described as follows:
Alternative 1: Centerline Align ment- Undercrossing
This alternative follows the existing centerline of the
roadway, and is shown in plan and profile in Figure 1. The
profile for Alternative 1 daylights at or near the Santiago
Street centerline requiring, at most, a minor overlay on the
westerly project limit, and for the easterly limit, also meets
the existing roadway just west of the 1 -5 Southbound (SB) off -
ramp. Some of the advantages of this alignment are:
Requires no additional right of way, and incurs no
foreseeable relocation or severance costs
Most effective for Land Use, since it maintains the
existing use through -out the project
Maintains the existing tangential alignment for Santa
Ana Boulevard
Some of the disadvantages are:
Requires the most utility relocations, those affected
being gas, water, sewer, and storm drain
Requires traffic to be detoured away from the existing/
future path of travel for a longer duration, when
compared to the other two alternatives
Alternative 2: South Alignment
This alignment is shown in Figure 2. Beginning from the
western limit of the project, this alternative turns southerly
using a set of reversing curves, continues for a short distance
parallel to the existing centerline, then turns northerly
using another set of reversing curves, finally matching the
existing alignment west of the 1 -5 SB off -ramp. Similar to
Alternative 1, the profile daylights at or near the Santiago
Street centerline requiring, at most, a minor overlay on the
westerly project limit, and for the easterly limit, also meets
the existing roadway just west of the 1 -5 SB off -ramp. Some
of the advantages of this alignment are:
Requires the least amount of utility relocations
Can be constructed with the least amount, and
duration, of traffic disruption
OE SAN?
V
9L Ig ogla
Some of the disadvantages are:
Introduces two sets of reversing curves to the
horizontal alignment, resulting in the most degraded
final alignment, when compared to the other two
alternatives
Has the least effective land use planning, given the
remnant parcels from the current street alignment
adjacent to the residential properties
Requires additional work to reestablish access to
Fruit Street and the adjacent properties. Even though
the RFP states this leg of Fuller Street is to become a
cul -de -sac, it may be prudent to revisit keeping this
access to Santa Ana Boulevard in support of future
development
Alternative 3: North Alignment
This alignment is also shown in figure 9. Beginning from the
western limit of the project, this alternative turns northerly,
continues northwesterly on tangent, then turns southerly
matching the existing alignment easterly of the 1 -5 SB on-
ramp. Similar to Alternative 1, the profile daylights at or near
the Santiago Street centerline requiring, at most, a minor
overlay on the westerly project limit, and for the easterly
limit, also meets the existing roadway at or near the 1 -5 SB
off -ramp. Some of the advantages of this alignment are:
Similar to Alternative 2, it minimizes utility relocations
Similar to Alternative 2, it can be constructed with less
disruption to the traffic than Alternative 1
Some of the disadvantages are:
The City has stated right of way acquisition within the
residential parcels located between Santiago Street
and Lincoln Avenue, north of Santa Ana Boulevard, is
very controversial to the neighborhood; therefore this
disadvantage is fairly encompassing, and probably is
enough to classify Alternative 3 as non - viable
Impacts the alignments of both the 1 -5 on and off-
ramp, resulting in the need to involve Caltrans in a
permit /oversight role, increasing both the schedule and
the cost of the project
May be the most environmentally impactful, due to the
need to construct the new roadway on the currently
vacant parcel westerly of the 1 -5 SB off -ramp
Overcrossing Alternative
Our site visitations, and our discussions with the City, have
educated us on the constraints of the project, such that at
this early stage of the project development, it can be safely
stated that the roadway overcrossing alternatives can be
discounted (although we will study them to ensure the
alternative analyses are thorough and complete). It appears
that overcrossings will not be the most cost effective solution
to this project, nor without substantial public controversy,
due to the visual impact and close proximity of the residential
properties to Santa Ana Boulevard (as mentioned above in
the discussion on Alternative 3). Acquisition of right of way
from this development, or even the construction of a bridge
adjacent to the neighborhood, will be highly controversial.

Structural Advance Planning Studies
Development of the Project Study Report Equivalent (PSRE)
will require the preparation of a bridge Advance Planning
Study (APS) for Santa Ana Grade Separation Improvements.
The purpose of Advance Planning Study is to evaluate
feasible structure types, understand City, County, OCTA,
SCRRA, and Caltrans requirements, identify constraints,
and develop associated cost estimate summary for the
structure work involved. Additional APS's will be prepared as
appropriate to consider alternative structure types.
A comprehensive design memo must be prepared to
summarize and document the following key items: 1)
important, or unusual, design assumptions or structure
features, particularly any deviations from standards
to accommodate the site constraints, 2) discussions
with City/ County /OCTA /SCRRA /Caltrans /Stakeholders/
Resource Agencies concerning any key assumptions, 3)
city requirements such as aesthetics, improvements in the
vicinity of the structure, or other obstructions, 4) special
foundation requirements, special excavations such as Type
A, Type D (if ground water is shallow), and /or hazardous
or contaminated material, shoring adjacent to the tracks,
4) special construction requirements, including limited
site accessibility, 5) stage construction, and 6) SCRRA
Requirements (closure windows, flagmen etc.).
The information identified in the APS as listed above
and preliminary structure costs are used as a part of the
evaluation to select the best project structure alternative,
which will be carried into the design phase along with the
preferred roadway alignment alternative.
Two structure alternatives are presented and discussed in
detail in the ensuing sections.
Construct Through Girder Underpass on -site and Roll
into Place for Final
This structure alternative has the distinct advantage of
constructing the bridge in place without long -term disruption
of Metrolink's service operations, thereby eliminating the
need of shoofly tracks and station modifications, and
minimizing the time for the vehicular traffic to be detoured
around the construction site. While the traveling public has
been moved to a detour road, this completed structure can
be rolled into place over a 56 hour weekend work window,
from Friday night to Monday morning, when train service can
then be restored. What will remain will be the construction
of the depressed roadbed for Santa Ana Boulevard, in a "top
down" construction sequence, that is to build the walls first,
and then excavate the roadway in front of the wall to final
grade. Upon completion of roadway construction, traffic can
resume the normal pattern on the new facility. This method
for construction of the bridge has been done successfully,
previously in 1994, for the double track bridge over the Santa
Ana River. Figure 4 shows the general plan sheet of this
proposed structure type, and the construction sequencing
associated with building this structure.
AECOM designed a pre -cast bridge that was rolled into
place on the Nogales Street Grade Separation
The span length required to span the Santa Ana Boulevard
roadbed is approximately 134'. The typical span range for
this type of construction extends to about 150 -ft under
Cooper E -80 loading. Therefore, even though the required
span is nearing the upper limit of the typical structure span
length, this structure type is suitable for construction of new
underpass. The total structure depth for the replacement of
the double track would be approximately 13' -6 ". Provisions
can be made in the bridge design so that is capable of
supporting a future third track, should this become a
requirement of OCTA /SCRRA. To support a possible third
track, the through girder, on the either left or right side of
the underpass, will be required to have a structure depth
approaching 15' in order to support the full weight of a
Cooper E -80 live load.
The abutments will be precast type and will be supported
on drilled shafts (the shafts can be constructed under
normal, single track weekend closures prior to the 56 hour
work window, while the abutments would be placed as one
of the first operations during said window). The through
girder underpass structure can be constructed in the
staging areas near the project site. Once the substructure
work is completed, and the 56 hour work window has been
implemented, the bridge superstructure can be placed on
rollers and moved from the staging area location to the
finished main line alignment.
Special details will be required, including jacking stiffeners
in the through girders where the bridge jacks are to be
placed for raising the bridge off of its bearings, and bearing
stiffeners at the locations where roller bearings are to be
placed in order to support the bridge and roll it from the
staging area to its final installation location on the main line
alignment. In addition, a system must be constructed to
support the dead load of the bridge superstructure on the
roller bearings and guide its movement from the staging area
to its final installation position. The bridge bearings used to
support the bridge at the staging area can be removed and
placed on the finished abutment seats in the final installation
location.
Construct Precast Prestressed Box Girder Underpass
000
®® Proposal for Project Study Report Equivalent and Conceptual Engineering Plans for
Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation Project
This superstructure alternative will require shoofly tracks,
station modifications, and detoured traffic to isolate the
bridge site completely for construction. This alternative
proposes to construct a railroad bridge by lowering the Santa
Ana Boulevard. A two -Span Structure Alternative would work
very well at this location. This proposed double track railroad
bridge structure is approximately 126.7 feet long and 40.3
feet wide, with no skew to Santa Ana Boulevard. A Pier Bent
is needed in the median of Santa Ana Boulevard, which will
result in the maximum span length of 63.3 feet, and therefore
a SCRRA Standard Precast /Prestressed (PC /PS) Double
Cell Box Girder Structure can be used for the structure
type. Attention is directed to General Plan — PC /PS Con Box
Alternative, Figure 5.
A precast, simply supported structure is the preferred
railroad bridge type because of its flexibility for repair and
replacement in the future. Significant shoring would be
required around the construction area when constructing the
bridge. Retaining walls would be required for the roadway
depression. In order to facilitate the traffic staging /handling
during the construction, the walls constructed parallel to
Santa Ana Boulevard could be constructed using "top- down"
construction.
Utility Relocations
Always a significant concern on any grade separation due
to the impact to existing facilities, AECOM takes a tried and
trued approach to coordinating these efforts. This starts with
our current relationships that we have developed on past
projects with each of the utility companies, which allows us
to understand each of their needs, to develop a strategy for
their relocation, and to address impacts both during and after
construction.
The key is to be proactive, meeting early and often, and
disseminating the project information to each utility
company. AECOM will develop a conceptual relocation plan
and refine this further with input from the utility companies.
No one will know the impacts and obstructions to be
encountered better than our designers, and it is up to us to
convey this information to the utility companies. Our goal
will be to provide a single relocation, when feasible, for each
utility within the project site. We have effectively achieved
this on past projects through the use of:
Utility Corridors: Uti lize easements or acq u i red right -of-
way outside the Santa Ana Blvd. footprint, combining with
access roadways to better utilize space. The utility corridor
allows for a single relocation of each utility, eliminating the
need for temporary relocations, especially as the agency
typically will bear the cost of one of these relocations. This
will be the preferred method, especially with City owned land
on the south side, as well as many utilities already located
within the old Fruit Street right -of -way, outside of the grade
separation improvements.
Temporary Shutdowns: Early discussions with the utility
companies, especially water and gas, might yield the fact
that particular pipelines may be taken out of service during
construction due to adequate redundancy in the system or
the ability to backfeed the service to the end users.
Construction Staging: Where a utility corridor is not
feasible and services must remain in service, construction
staging must account for both the existing and permanent
location of the utilities to ensure continual service. With
the staged construction approach on this project, this
is a feasible approach, though it may require temporary
relocations to clear the stage one construction.
AECOM has significant experience in developing utility
relocation plans for grade separations

Maintenance of Traffic During Construction/
Construction Staging
The City has stated, and our study of the project has
reinforced, that the maintenance of traffic during
construction is very critical to the success of this project.
We have discussed previously in this proposal a potential
strategy to minimize the duration of traffic interference,
this being the roll in structure alternative for the bridge
superstructure, since the bridge can be manufactured onsite,
while traffic is still in its existing pattern. Only when the
new bridge is moved into its final location and during the
construction of the majority of the approach work, is there a
need to detour the traffic. We have included one possible plan
for traffic handling and construction staging, and this plan
corresponds to this proposed construction scheme. Please
reference Figure 6.
shows utilizing the south side of Santa Ana
Boulevard for a detour road, beginning from the [insert detour
road photo sent earlier via email adjacent to this paragraph]
intersection with Santiago Street on the westerly limit of
the project, then turning southerly, before running parallel
to Santa Ana Boulevard, finally meeting the existing street
alignment and profile near the Fuller Street intersection. This
detour road is proposed to be two lanes in each direction.
Of course this reduction of the third lane in each direction
for the detour road would require the need for further
traffic studies to confirm the viability of this configuration
in terms of Level of Service (LOS) for both the road and the
intersections, and surrounding network of streets. The figure
shows the proposed first stage of the construction, during
which the majority of the improvements can be completed,
with only the south side (eastbound traffic direction) of Santa
Ana Boulevard, both at and near the west, and east, end
tie -ins to the existing alignment and profile needing to be
constructed. The next stage would shift traffic to north side
of the roadway, while completing the final work elements.
To evaluate the traffic impacts during construction, our
approach will look at several alternatives for traffic flow
through the project site, and impacts to the surrounding
street and freeway network, including:
The use of a reversible lane to address peak hour
traffic movements. A moveable barrier could be used
to provide three westbound lanes in the morning, and
three eastbound lanes in the evening.
Due to physical constraints at Fuller, consideration
might be given to a one -way couplet using Fruit Street
for eastbound traffic to Grand Avenue with westbound
traffic on Santa Ana Boulevard. This couplet would be
join together prior to Santiago Street.
Close evaluation of the 1 -5 ramps for circulation will
also be a key component. With advance notification,
traffic utilizing the Grand Avenue exits may instead
use 17th Street and 4th Street with alternative routes,
further reducing the load on Santa Ana Boulevard
during construction.
A four lane detour was provided on Nogales Street
which had an ADT of over 44,000 vehicles per day
The RFP mentions the possible need for temporarily locating
the railroad operations onto shooflytracks.This would
be necessary for all other strategies for constructing the
underpass bridge structure. We have included Figure 7 and
this figure shows one possible plan for the alignment of the
shoofly tracks, this being easterly of the existing alignment,
beginning just southerly of the 1 -5 crossing, turning easterly
and then running parallel to the existing tracks until well
southerly of the station, and then turning easterly to join
the existing track alignments. The RFP also mentions
the importance of the shoofly alignments to utilize the
station platforms. This alignment achieves that need, with
passengers being able to access the westerly track from
the existing platform, with a temporary, probably asphalt
concrete, platform, which can be constructed for access to
the easterly track. An SCRRA Standard Pedestrian Crossing
would be required at both ends of the platform to cross the
shoofly tracks for access to the easterly track.
Brea Canyon Road grade separation required a temporary
Metrolink station platform for the rail shoofly tracks

Scope of Services
AECOM has thoroughly reviewed the scope of work included
in the RFP. We believe it to be comprehensive and adequately
cover the needs related to the Project Study Report
Equivalent for this project. For brevity, we will not repeat the
scope of services herein, accepting as provided in the RFP
with the following clarifications, inclusions or exclusions
from the scope of work.
Task B. Permits: Permits will not be required for
geotechnical activities, since the geotechnical work, per
Task G, will be limited to research of existing subsurface
information for adjacent project areas.
Task E. Field Survey/Topography: Aerial mapping will
be provided for the project limits as requested, noting all of
the identified surface features. If OCTA grants permission
and the City approves, this aerial mapping can utilize and
augment existing mapping of the project site, gained from our
surveyor's work on an adjacent project for OCTA. The scale of
this topographic map is at 1 " =40'. Field survey will be limited
to establishing the record centerline for Santa Ana Boulevard
and its cross streets as well as top of rail elevations adjacent
to Santa Ana Boulevard. This information is sufficient for a
planning level document.
Task L. Right -of -Way: Existing right -of -way and property
lines will be established from record documents. As noted
in Addendum 2, legal descriptions and plats will not be
required at this time. The Deliverable will be a right -of -way
impact map clearly delineating the need for fee acquisition,
easements for utilities, subsurface features, or slopes, and
temporary construction easements. A matrix will be included
for each parcel listing any right -of -way impact, square
footage of acquisition and /or easement, along with additional
severance impacts such as loss of access or parking.
Task N. Environmental Evaluation: Since the project
is not on Caltrans system (an interstate or state highway),
where a Preliminary Environmental Analysis Report
(PEAR) is required, it is sufficient for the commencement
of the environmental evaluation to produce a Preliminary
Environmental Survey (PES) form. Therefore the deliverable
under this task is proposed to be a PES, and not a PEAR or an
ISA.
Task Q Aesthetics: AECOM suggests the inclusion of an
aesthetics task as part of the scope of services. Having
prepared several aesthetic plans for grade separations,
including the recent Aesthetic Guidelines for the OCTA Grade
Separations along the Orangethorpe Corridor, the ability
to provide photo - quality images of the completed project
greatly enhances the public understanding and acceptance
of the project. AECOM can provide static photosimulations or
a dynamic visual flythrough (video) of the project. In addition,
AECOM has enlisted Glenn R. Johnson Scale Models, located
in downtown Orange, on past projects to create a scale model
of the project. This model can be used at public outreach
meetings and be put on display in the lobby of City Hall. Each
of these are great tools that AECOM can provide to the City.
As noted in the Project Understanding and Approach section,
we firmly believe that we can take this project to the next
step within the given budget identified in the RFP. Included in
the appendix of this proposal is a detailed scope of services
and associated schedule to provide a complete Project
Report /Environmental Document (PR /ED), readying this
project for the final design phase and better positioning the
City for funding.
In providing the PR /ED, a full PSRE will not be required, and
the initial phase will be the alternatives analysis. A value
analysis, required on any State or Federally funded project
over $25 million in value, will be provided at the conclusion
of the alternatives analysis. At that point, the Project Report
will be developed with a preferred alternative and the
environmental clearance process will commence.
We look forward to the opportunity to discuss this approach
further with the City.

The effectiveness of our communication with the City
of Santa Ana and all project participants is crucial to a
successful project. Mr. Faber is dedicated to fostering a
productive communication process and to providing proactive
design issue resolution, working with the City as an extension
of staff.
Proactive approach to comment resolution
AECOM takes a very proactive stance in addressing issues
and comments as they arise. This eliminates the need
for rehashing previous issues or multi -cycle reviews and
responses at each submittal milestone, thus allowing a fast -
tracked project delivery. There are several components in
achieving this:
• Develop an action list, each uniquely numbered, from
each meeting, tracking them through resolution
• Conduct workshop meetings with Caltrans and other
stakeholders prior to submittal milestones to review
the product and receive feedback, as well as allow
Caltrans and the other stakeholders to familiarize
themselves with the submittal package
• Develop a comment response matrix to track
comments through to closeout
• Meet as necessary to ensure agreement on comment
resolution prior to submittal

continually and at major milestones
during project development. They include:
Engineering discipline review During the project, prior to any
formal submittal, the design and reports are reviewed by the
discipline managers.
Coordination review. The project manager and discipline
lead engineers will review the construction documents
for coordination, accuracy, client drafting standards, and
definition of work.
Constructibility review. Following review by the lead
engineers, the QC team will coordinate an independent
constructibility review to verify criteria compliance, evaluate
the comprehensive quality of the geometric plans and design
plans, and resolve potential constructibility issues.
Quarity assurance /quality control review. QA /QC reviews
will be conducted on an impromptu basis and prior to each
milestone submittal. These will be independent reviews led by
the project manager with the involvement and management
review of the Project Director, James Faber, PE.
In addition, we will draw upon our own vast construction
management resources to review the bid documents for items
that may lead to potential contractor change orders at each
milestone submittal.

■ AECOM
Scheduk
AECOM has developed the schedule shown in Figure 9
based upon past experience on similar projects. We have
demonstrated our ability to deliver planning documents on
grade separations, from Feasibility Studies and PSRE's to
full Project Report /Environmental Documents. Within the
last 12 months, AECOM has worked on the following grade
separation planning documents:
• Raymond Avenue
• Orangethorpe Avenue
• Baldwin Park Avenue
• Puente Avenue
• Jurupa Avenue
• McKinley Street
• Streeter Avenue
Our experience also helps us understand the critical
elements which need to be address to ensure the project
schedule is met, and these include:
Third Party Coordination — Actively engaging third parties,
from the railroads to the utility companies, from day one
of the project is essential. Maintaining the open line of
communication and flow of information is crucial to timely
responses, direction and approval. Early agreement on design
parameters, such as vertical clearances for the railroad, as
well as relocation alternatives for utilities, will help pave the
path for approvals.
is
Environmental — Engaging the environmental planners
during the initial alignment studies will be critical to ensuring
that the all components are adequately covered in the PES
or PEAR, which will facilitate approvals through the City for
CEQA and Caltrans for NEPA.
Response Procedures — AECOM takes a very proactive
stance in addressing issues and comments as they arise.
This eliminates need for rehashing of previous issues
or multi -cycle reviews and responses at each submittal
milestone. There are several components in achieving this:
1. Develop and action list, each uniquely numbered, to
track them from inception to closure.
2. Conduct workshop meetings with stakeholders prior to
submittals to review the product and receive feedback.
3. Develop a comment response matrix to track comments
through to closeout.
AECOM is confident that in our approach to this project, along
with our relationships with the City, SCRRA, OCTA, Caltrans,
and the utility companies, we will meet the schedule as
shown.

Ramona Boulevard is a secondary highway striped for two lanes in each direction,
with an at -grade crossing of Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and Metro Link tracks
between Cypress Avenue and Stewart Street. The AECOM project team provided
the design and engineering services to grade- separate this crossing.
AECOM was the prime consultant and was responsible for coordinating the
design with several involved stakeholders including Caltrans, the City of El Monte,
UPRR, Metrolink, ACE, the Gas Company, Sprint, Southern California Edison, the
Los Angeles County Flood Control District, and Pacific Bell. The scope of work
included preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS &E) for the
project.
AECOM also provided full construction management services. The construction
work consisted of a new railroad bridge to accommodate two tracks for UPRR
and Metro Link crossing at Ramona
Boulevard, depressing east -west
Ramona Boulevard to provide for the
grade separation. The project also
included design of retaining walls,
new depressed and grade- separated
sidewalks, storm drain pump station
and drainage systems, landscaping,
and major utility relocations (such
as a 102 -inch RCP, fiber optic lines,
telephone trunk lines, and water and
gas main lines).
Grade Separation
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) selected AECOM to provide
preliminary and final design services for a new railroad grade separation to
replace the existing Orangethorpe Avenue /Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)
Railroad at -grade crossing. The project calls for the design of an overcrossing
of Orangethorpe Avenue with the BNSF tracks, with Orangethorpe Avenue being
widened to a six -lane facility that includes a raised median island, six -foot wide
sidewalks, and Class II bike lanes. Since Orangethorpe Avenue crosses the BNSF
Railroad at an approximate 70- degree angle, AECOM developed an innovative
approach using precast girders oriented perpendicular to the railroad tracks. This
configuration lowers the roadway profile providing significant cost savings while
maximizing the available right -of -way for BNSF.
A temporary two -lane detour road is to be constructed, enabling Orangethorpe
Avenue to remain open during
construction Sign if icant

Separation project. The project entailed lowering Nogales Street, a six -lane major
arterial highway, below the UPRR tracks. The project funding was through state,
federal, and local redevelopment monies.
The project included a three -track rail bridge, a vehicular bridge for the extension
of Railroad Street which is immediately adjacent to the UPRR R /W, concrete
pavement for the entire length of the project, retaining walls, special design walls
due to close proximity of structures, the relocation of a double 10'x11' box culvert,
relocation of a 54" Sanitation District trunk sewer, widening of the Nogales /Gale
intersection to provide dual left turn lanes, and modifications of the SR -60 on
and off ramps to provide the additional roadway width for the widening. Several
alternatives were evaluated in the preparation of the hydrology report in an effort
to reduce the flows tributary to the pump station. In the existing condition, 120cfs
would be tributary to the proposed pump station, however, with the inclusion of
gravity storm drain systems outside
of the proposed lowered roadway,
this volume was reduced to 20 cfs,
providing a significant savings in pump
station costs. Additional deliverables
included a traffic management plan,
structure type selection report, and
photosimulations. AECOM provided all
coordination with Caltrans in acquiring
permits to modify facilities within their
R /W, the utility companies, and the
UPRR.

Project manager. Responsible for preliminary engineering development of
alternatives, assessment of impacts, and preparation of funding applications for
the Jurupa Road /UPRR railroad crossing in the Pedley area of Riverside County.
This crossing is considered one of the most hazardous railroad crossings in the
entire county. The crossing is located in close proximity to Van Buren Boulevard,
designated to be a six lane expressway, which parallels and abuts the railroad
right -of -way. The alternative is included combinations of OH over both the railroad
and Van Buren Boulevard, and elevating both Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa
Road. Connections between Van Buren Boulevard and Jurupa Road include
interchange ramps and loop connector roads. Critical issues included impacts
to local businesses, retail malls, and residential properties; drainage, closure
and realignment of local streets, and right -of -way impacts. Two spur track
connections are proposed to be realigned to shorten the OH structure and vertical
profile. Planning and layout of the proposed improvements spanning Van Buren

railroad crossings in the entire county. The crossing is located in close proximity
to the Buchanan Avenue /BNSF crossing. During very heavy traffic conditions,
congestion at each of the crossings interact with each other to further exacerbate
the congestion and hazards of the crossing. The alternatives developed and
evaluated include three overhead alternatives and one underpass alternative
involving elevated railroad tracks. The alternatives ranged from a standalone
grade separation Project to one that is coordinated in conjunction with the
Buchanan Avenue /BNSF crossing in the city of Riverside and the McKinley Street/
BNSF crossing in the city of Corona. Critical project issues included access to
adjacent businesses, work adjacent to two flood control channels, extreme
skew angle of crossing, potential phasing of improvements, construction staging
alternatives facilitating traffic movement, complex bridge column and foundation
configurations, and coordination with the railroad and multiple jurisdictions.
McKinley St. Grade Separation over BNSF, Corona, California: Project engineer.
Responsible for development of alternatives during planning phase of project.
McKinley Street from the SR -91 freeway to Magnolia Avenue is a major arterial

the Arlington flood control channel and railroad tracks, McKinley Street is a
heavily traveled route for access to the SR -91 freeway by the local community
and businesses. Alternatives included a typical OH alternative as well as a
UP alternative involving elevating over a mile of railroad track. AECOM was

Scope of Services for Completion of the
Project Approval /Environmental Document Phase
Descr otion of Projecf
The development and construction of this project is
being undertaken by the City of Santa Ana (City), who
will also be serving as the project's administrator for the
preliminary studies, environmental documentation,
design, right -of -way engineering, right -of -way
acquisition, and construction.
The selection of the preferred alignment for the Santa
Ana Boulevard Grade Separation will require the
approval of the City and SCRRA /OCTA. The selection of
the locally preferred alternative, early in the project
development process, is critical in maintaining the
schedule for the project's completion. As stakeholders
in the project, local community and business owner
acceptance of the recommended alignment is a
prerequisite for City approval and a successful project.
The proposed project will construct a Grade Separation
at the crossing of Santa Ana Boulevard, with the
SCRRA /OCTA Metrolink line (Metrolink). Phase 1 of the
Project is Preliminary Engineering, requiring an
investigation as to the most cost - effective alternative
for separating the grades, beginning with a simplified
Project Study Report Equivalent (PSRE), and
culminating in a Project Report Equivalent (PRE), a
recommendation; and submitting a Notice of Exemption
(Statutory Exemption) as a part of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Phase 1 concludes
with the approval of the PA /ED. Phase 2 of the Project
development will require right -of -way acquisition, final
design: plans, specifications and cost estimates for the
construction of project; and relocation of utilities. We
shall submit a CD to the City, which will include all
surveying, environmental reports, technical studies, the
PSRE, the PRE, the design files, both plans and
specifications, and any supporting documents produced
during the course of the project development. This
scope of services is written for Phase 1 only.
Description of Work
AECOM shall provide professional and technical
engineering services necessary to investigate alignment
alternatives, prepare a PSRE, documenting potential
solutions to the project's purpose and need; a PRE,
recommending an alternative; and providing the
necessary documentation to obtain environmental
clearance. Work will include, but not necessarily be
limited to, preliminary engineering, field surveys,
obtaining SCRRA /OCTA design requirements, traffic
studies, geometric layouts, preliminary right -of -way
layouts, and order of magnitude cost estimates. AECOM
shall assist the City in any public meetings, City Council
presentations, and meetings with area business
owners. The work in Phase 1 is more fully described
later within this Scope of Services.
Proposed Proj
The proposed project is to grade separate Santa Ana
Boulevard at the Metrolink at -grade crossing.
The roadway width, and subsequent right of way width,
will be determined based upon the City's General Plan
for Santa Ana Boulevard, as reinforced by the projected
traffic volumes generated by our traffic studies, as
described later within this scope, and the number of
lanes required for the year 2035 (or 2040) to provide a
minimum Level of Service required by the City.
The vertical alignment of the road will be designed to
conform to sight distance and safety standards.
Structural Improvements
The proposed Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation,
and the associated retaining walls, shall be studied to
determine the most cost effective and efficient
structural type, and this will include both pre -cast
concrete and steel through plate girder alternatives. The
crossing will also be studied in terms of providing an
aesthetic bridge structure consistent with the
surrounding community.
An- o iceblbe St ndard
The PSRE shall be prepared similar to CALTRANS'
regulations, policies, procedures, manuals and
standards. The following items a. through d. are not all -

Project Understanding
We will obtain Project Approval and Environmental
Clearance for the Santa Ana Boulevard Grade
Separation Project, and this shall be done by preparing
a PSRE, a PRE, a Statutory Exemption (SE), and
Categorical Exclusion (CE).
We will prepare and obtain approval from the City, the
SCRRA /OCTA, Caltrans, and the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA). The PRE will examine roadway
alternatives documented in the approved PSRE, based
upon forecast traffic volumes, and existing topography,
as well as alternatives for the crossing type, and shall
recommend a preferred alternative, as well as the
approval of the environmental document.
We will establish relationships with all the stakeholders
in the project to solicit input and develop consensus
during the project development process. Input from all
stakeholders will be solicited early in the process and
will continue throughout project development to
facilitate timely review and approval of the project.
A meeting with the City, Caltrans, the SCRRA /OCTA, and
other stakeholders will be held before any significant
work is started on the project. The purpose of this
meeting will be to:
1. Review the PSRE and PRE Document
development process.
2. Solicit input regarding the goals for the
project desired by each agency.
3. Agree on the intended scope of the project.
4. Agree on the basic design standards to be
met.
The first step in the project development process will be
to develop the conceptual alternatives for the project.
Those elements to be considered will include:
• Environmental Issues;
• Traffic Requirements (Existing and Future);
• Utility Impacts;
• Existing Topography;
• Horizontal and Vertical Geometric
Requirements;
• Right -of -way Impacts;
• Crossing Type Selection; and
• Project Costs.
After completion of this initial step, the City will review
the conceptual alternatives, the impacts and costs of
each alternative within the PSRE and make a decision of
which alternatives are feasible and should be carried to
the next step in the project development process -
preparation of the PRE.
The PRE is the engineering document that provides the
transition between the conceptual plans and the
proposed project. At the pre -PSRE meeting, the
engineering specifics of the design scope will be
discussed. These will include the major features of
work associated with the project, such as alternatives
that substantially lessen or avoid environmental
impacts, number of lanes (current and future), and most
efficient crossing type. Additional items that need to be
considered are roadway drainage systems, impacts to
both existi ng and futu re uti lities, and cost.
Phase 1- Preliminary Engineering, PSRE,

and reviewed includes:
• Mapping and design information from the City
for improvement projects;
• Hazardous material /waste information;
• Preliminary materials (geotechnical)
information;
• Traffic data (existing and forecasted traffic,
level of service, capacity adequacy, operational
analysis, accidents, etc.); and
• Right -of -way and utility plans.
Task 1.3 Topo /Base /Field Work /Design Surveys
Horizontal and vertical corridor control will be
established along the corridor to support the aerial
photogrammetry, land net surveys, engineering surveys
and future design and construction activities along the
corridor. The survey control will be set in accordance
with Caltrans survey standards and will be tied into the
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83 NSRS 2007) and
the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88
Riverside County) or as specified by the client.
This task entails cadastral research within Caltrans
District 12 and the County of Orange for existing
centerli ne and right -of -way f les and /or avai [able
cadastral records in support of the centerline and right -
of -way of 1 -5, Santa Ana Boulevard, and Lincoln Street.
Field surveys will be performed to locate the centerline.
In addition, key monuments will be located in order to
calculate the centerline of the corridor and adjacent
intersecting routes. The right -of -way will be based upon
record calculations only and will not be surveyed.
A land net base map will be prepared at a scale
comparable to the aerial mapping and will include said
record centerlines and rights -of -way as well as
underlying cadastral information, ownership
information as recorded with the Riverside County
assessor's office. All these data wi It be incorporated
with the aerial mapping and delivered in a Microstation

Task 1.4 Traffic Operations Analysis
We will prepare a traffic operations analysis for the
Santa Ana Boulevard grade separation project. The
traffic operations analysis will examine existing and
forecast future year conditions in the vicinity of the
OCTA /SCRRA at -grade crossing with Santa Ana
Boulevard. The future year conditions examined will be
the project opening year and the project design year (20
years after opening, assumed to be 2035). Conditions
examined will include the No Project Alternative and up
to three build alternatives.
The analysis will include examination of the following
intersections:
• Santa Ana Bld. /1 -5 On and Off -ramp.
• Santa Ana Bld. /Fuller St..
• Santa Ana Bld. /Lincoln Ave.
• Santa Ana Bld. /Santiago Street.
We will coordinate with City staff and the PDT to develop
an appropriate methodology for forecasting year 2035
volumes at the study locations, relying on the SCAG RTP
or OCTA OCTAM traffic model (or as the City requires)
data to forecast year 2035 volumes.
Specific tasks to be performed for the traffic operations
analysis include the following:
1. Peak period traffic counts will be collected at up to
three study intersections, for two (a.m. and p.m.)
three -hour peak periods. The peak periods to be
evaluated will be determined in conjunction with
the PDT.
2. Future year traffic volumes for the locations
identified for examination will be developed using

growth rates calculated from the RTP model SED,
as described above.
3. Future year traffic volumes will be developed for
the four build alternatives described above.
4. Opening year traffic volumes will be developed
using growth rates calculated from the RTP model
SED for an intermediate year, to be determined by
the PDT.
5. The resulting intersection levels of service will be
calculated using Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)
2000 analysis methodologies.
6. Based on the future levels of service, intersection
lane geometrics will be identified to maintain
minimum level of service standards.
7. The results of the traffic operations analysis will be
presented in a technical study. This study will
document the level of service analysis
methodologies employed, existing traffic
conditions, forecast future (opening year and
design year) traffic conditions for each alternative,
and improvements needed to maintain satisfactory
operations in each analysis year.

Task 1.6 Structural Analyses /APS
Development of the PSRE and PRE will require the
preparation of a bridge Advance Planning Study (APS)
for Santa Ana Boulevard Underpass. The purpose of the
APS is to evaluate feasible structure types, understand
City requirements, identify constraints, and develop
associated cost estimate summary for the structure
work involved. The APS General Plan (GP) clearly
delineates all the structural elements identified in the
PSRE and the PRE typically using the minimum detailing
necessary and basic dimensions, which will help
develop a reasonable cost estimate. As a minimum, the
APS GP will show Plan, Elevation, and Typical Section
views and will make note of all critical assumptions.
Additional APS's will be prepared as appropriate to
consider alternative structure types. The APS General
Plan and APS Report will be prepared on the most
current Caltrans APS formatted plan sheet, and
templates respectively.
Structure Preliminary Geotechnical Reports (SPGR) are
required as part of APS to identify basic site
parameters, which may have a significant impact on the
structure scope and cost. In addition, a comprehensive
design memo must be prepared to summarize and
document the following key items:
• Important or unusual design assumptions or
structure features.
• Discussions with City /OCTA /SCRRA personnel
concerning any key assumptions.
• Modifications from Structure Maintenance
Records recommendations.
• Seismic retrofit modifications.
• City requirements such as aesthetics,
improvements in vicinity of the structure,
airspace usage, or other obstructions.
• Special foundation requirements, special
excavations such as Type A, Type D, and /or
hazardous or contaminated material.
• Special construction requirements, including
limited site accessibility.
• Stage Construction.
The information identified in the APS, as listed above,
and preliminary structure costs are used as a part of the
evaluation to select the best project alternative.
It is proposed to construct a railroad bridge by lowering
the Santa Ana Boulevard.
A 2 -Span Structure Alternative would work very well at
this location. This proposed double track railroad
bridge structure is approximately 126.7 feet long and
40.3 feet wide, with no skew to Santa Ana Boulevard. A
Pier Bent is needed in the median of Santa Ana
Boulevard, which will result in the maximum span
length of 63.3 feet, and therefore a SCRRA Standard
Precast /Prestressed (PC /PS) Double Cell Box Girder
Structure can be used for the structure type.
Precast units can expedite the construction schedule,
helping to reduce impacts to both the rail and the road
traffic. In addition, a precast, simply supported
structure is the preferred railroad bridge type because
of its flexibility for repair and replacement in the future.
Significant shoring would be required around the
construction area when constructing the bridge.
Retaining walls would be required for both the roadway
depression and the raise of the rail profile. In order to
facilitate the traffic stagi ng /hand ling during the
construction, the walls constructed parallel to Santa
Ana Boulevard could be constructed using "top- down"
construction; that is to build the wall first, and then
excavate the roadway in front of the wall to final grade.
We will perform Value Analysis to determine the most
cost effective retaining wall type, top down approach vs.
conventional cantilever retaining wall using temporary
shoring.
A Single Span Structure Alternative can also be
considered. The span length required to span the Santa
Ana Boulevard roadbed is approximately 134'. The
typical span range for this type of construction extends
to about 150 -ft under Cooper E -80 loading. Therefore,
even though the required span is nearing the upper limit
of the typical structure span length, this structure type
is suitable for construction of new underpass. The total
structure depth for the replacement of the double track
would be approximately 13' -6 ". Provisions can be made
in the bridge design so that is capable of supporting a
future third track, should this become a requirement of
OCTA /SCRRA. To support a possible third track, the
through girder, on the either left or right side of the
underpass, will be required to have a structure depth
approaching 15' in order to support the full weight of a
Cooper E -80 live load.
During the APS development, through a careful and
deliberate process, we will study a number of different
structure alternatives and configurations against
various interchange alternatives, and develop
associated costs.
Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Structure Type Selection Report
Task 1.7 Existing and Future Utilities
Issues /Permitting
We will identity and coordinate with the various utility
companies for the location and descriptions of their
facilities, including any potential for future utility
improvements.
Utility Meetings and Utility Coordination
Coordinate and schedule meetings with Utility Owners
and project stake holders as may be required.

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
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 WQMP
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.
fask 1.11 Project Report Equivalent (Draft and Final)
AECOM will produce a Project Report, per the
requirements previously mentioned in this document.
Deliverables:
• 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. Every Technical
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.

Tasks associated with completion of the proposed work
effort are as follows:
After receiving a notice to proceed and preliminary
layout from AECOM for the build alternative, a Caltrans
Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form will be
prepared for submittal to City and Caltrans for review.
The purpose of the PES is to identify and receive
concurrence from Caltrans regarding the technical
studies that will need to be prepared for the proposed
project and to receive concurrence regarding the
environmental document to be prepared. The PES will
be prepared using existing, available information and no
new analyses or detailed evaluations are assumed or
included. As directed in the PES, cultural information
will be provided entirely by Caltrans. The PES will be
revised twice following Caltrans review. Figures will
include a vicinity map, a location map, and the layout
provided by AECOM. No additional figures or graphics
are assumed to be necessary.
Deliverables:
• Draft, revised Draft, and Final PES.
Although not legally required for the level of
environmental document that is proposed, it is assumed
that two public information meetings will be conducted
for the proposed project. One at the outset of the
project after the build alternative has been developed,
and one during the PA /ED process at times to be
determined by the City and Caltrans. The meetings will
utilize boards that present the project alternative. ICF
Jones & Stokes will assist the City and Caltrans in
organizing and holding the informational meetings. It is
assumed that the City will secure the location for the
public meeting. For each meeting a notice will be
prepared by ICF Jones & Stokes for publication in a
newspaper of local circulation (Orange County Register,
etc.). This notice will be submitted to the City and
Caltrans for review and approval. It is assumed that ICF
Jones & Stokes will coordinate publication of the notice
in the newspaper and that the City will be responsible
for paying the newspaper directly for the publication
cost. It is assumed that the notice will be published in
one English and one Spanish language newspaper. ICF
Jones & Stokes will prepare a sign -in sheet, comment
cards, and up to three display boards using project
layouts /graphics provided by AECOM. In addition, direct
mailings to property owners and residents living within
500 feet of the proposed project will be distributed
using a mailing list generated and provided by AECOM's
right -of -way consultant or the City. No other direct
mailings are assumed. It is assumed that ICF Jones &
Stokes Project Manager along with one additional
individual, if needed, will attend the meetings.
Deliverables:
• Meeting Materials (up to three 30x40 boards
using primarily project layouts /graphics
Provided byAECOM, sign in sheet, and
comment cards)
Attendance at informational meeting by the
Environmental Task Manager and one
additional ICFJones & Stokes staff member, if
needed
Direct mailing to property owners and residents
located within 500 feet of the proposed project
(assumed thatAECOMs right -of -way
consultant or the City will provide the list of
owners and addresses)
Preparation and publication of meeting notice
once for each meeting in one English and one
Spanish language newspaper (assumed that
City will pay the newspaper directly for the
publication)
All technical studies will be consistent with meeting the
requirements of CEQA and NEPA, as well as those of
related environmental statutes and regulations. The
technical studies will be prepared to cover both related
statutory documentation requirements and to support
preparation of a joint NEPA /CEQA document required
for project approval.
Preparation of all technical analyses and reports will
follow local, state, and federal environmental
guidelines, primarily consisting of the Caltrans
Standard Environmental Reference (SER) website,
Caltrans Project Development Procedures Manual, local
and state CEQA Guidelines, and FHWA Technical
Advisory 6640.81 Guidance on Preparing and Processing
Environmental and Section 4(f) Documents. The
formats to be used for the technical studies will follow
the guidance available on the Caltrans SER website as
of the date that those studies are initiated.
Please see scope of work for each technical study for
details regarding studies to be prepared.
Unless otherwise noted, the deliverables for the
following technical studies will be a separate bound
report including a standardized project description, a
methodology relevant to each topic area, description of
the affected environment, impact assessment, and
mitigation measures. The screencheck technical study
will be submitted to the City (two copies) and to
Caltrans (four copies) for concurrent review. Following
City and Caltrans review a Draft of each technical study
will be submitted to the City (two copies) and to
Caltrans (four copies) for concurrent review. Following
Caltrans and City second review it is assumed that a
revisions workshop will be held to address any
outstanding comments, if any comments remain.
Following the revisions workshop a final version of each
report will be prepared. The final technical studies (two
copies to the City and four copies to Caltrans) will be
submitted following the workshop for final concurrence

(no additional comments are assumed to be received
associated with the final concurrence review).
For this scope of work, the technical studies for which a
specific scope of work has been included have been
assumed based on a review of existing project
information. If additional studies are identified during
the environmental phase of the project a scope of work
and cost will be submitted for approval prior to their
initiation.
Deliverables (6 Copies of Each):
• Screencheck technical studies
• Draft technical studies
• Final technical studies for concurrence
• Final approved technical studies
The following assumptions have been made with regard
to the technical studies that are to be prepared:
Engineering plans, including limits of
construction, staging areas, and
borrow /disposal sites, if needed, will be
provided by the engineering team at a level of
detail sufficient for preparing the technical
studies (roadway lanes, topographic
information [including changes in topography
resulting from the proposed project], state
plane tick marks, station numbers, and existing
structures within 500 feet of the proposed
project).
Mapping showing existing conditions (roadway
lanes, topographic information, state plane tick
marks, station numbers, and existing
structures within 500 feet of the proposed
project) will be provided by the engineering
team.
Cross sections along the alignment showing
existing and proposed conditions at an interval
sufficient for preparing the noise analyses will
be provided by the engineering team.
Focused protocol surveys for any species are
not included in this scope and cost, other those
specified under the Natural Environment Study
scope. If additional focused surveys are
identified during the biological field
reconnaissance then this will be communicated
to AECOM and the City and a scope and cost for
this work will be provided.
Traffic information shall contain 24 -hour and
hourly traffic counts separated by direction and
vehicle classification (autos, medium trucks,
heavy trucks) over at least three weekdays,
along with peak hour and average daily traffic
(ADT) forecast traffic volumes for existing
conditions, opening year, and design year with
and without the project for roads in the project
area, and posted speeds. In addition,
subregional /regional traffic information will be
provided that includes vehicle miles travelled
(VMT) data for existing year, opening year (build
and no- build) and horizon year (build and no-
build) broken down into five mph speed bins.
This data is needed in order to evaluate GHG
emissions consistent with the latest guidance
from Caltrans Headquarters. This stems from
the fact that GHG emission factors vary
depending on travel speed.
• NEPA /404 integration process will not be
required.
• It is assumed that all rights of entry and access
for field work and surveys, if required, shall be
obtained and provided by the City or AECOM.
• Public meetings and /or hearings are not
assumed or included.
• Section 4(f) Evaluation will not be required.
• A Community Impact Assessment will not be
required
• Relocations would not occur and a relocation
document will not be required.
Historic Proo(_,&v--i o -vG" "eke
The proposed project improvements will be subject to
compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act. This requires consideration of
potential project effects to historic properties including
archaeological and historical resources listed in or
eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places according to criteria listed in 36 CFR800.
Caltrans administers Section 106 compliance on behalf
of FHWA and requires that documentation conform to
specifications contained in Caltrans Standard
Environmental Reference. As of January 1, 2004,
cultural resource studies must be prepared and
processed in accordance with the Programmatic
Agreement among the Federal Highway Administration,
the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the
California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the
California Department of Transportation Regarding
Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, as it Pertains to the Administration of
the Federal -Aid Highway Program In California.
ICF Jones & Stokes shall conduct a records search at
the Information Center of the California Historical
Resources Information System and through the Sacred
Lands File at the Native American Heritage Commission.
This records search will consult California's database of
previous studies and previously recorded sites within
the proposed project area and within a 0.5 -mile radius,
per Caltrans guidelines. Historic maps and photographs
shall also be reviewed, if available. ICF Jones & Stokes
shall establish an Area of Potential Effect (APE) map in
consultation with the City and Caltrans for obtaining
Caltrans approval. The map shall provide the survey
boundaries for cultural resources to be evaluated during
project studies. The APE map shall be based on the
total anticipated disturbance footprint associated with
project activities (e.g., road widening /interchange
construction, staging areas, detours, drainage facilities,
and parcels containing impacted structures, if any). ICF

Jones & Stokes will also contact the Native American
Heritage Commission and consult with Native American
groups and other interested parties to request
information regarding the types of potential cultural
resources in the study area. Consultation will be
conducted in accordance with appropriate and current
state and federal regulations.
Following completion of the record search /review, ICF
Jones & Stokes shall conduct a field survey of the APE
for archaeological resources. It is assumed that the City
or AECOM will be responsible for obtaining access for
conducting the surveys. This scope of work assumes
that no archaeological sites will be identified in the APE
and that no testing and /or evaluation will be required. It
is anticipated that an Archaeological Survey Report
(Finding of No Archaeological Resources Present) will be
prepared.
Following completion of the record search /review, an
ICF Jones & Stokes qualified architectural historian will
conduct a field survey of the proposed project area to
record buildings, structures, and historic features
through photography and written descriptions. If
buildings are substantially altered or are less than 50
years old, a qualified architectural historian can exempt
them from further evaluation in accordance with the
Section 106 PA. It is anticipated that up to four (4)
buildings and structures will not be exempt under the
PA and will require evaluation on California historic
resource inventory forms (series DPR 523). Any
buildings beyond this number would be considered out
of scope. ICF Jones & Stokes will send out letters
requesting information on historic properties to local
governments, historical societies, and historic
preservation organizations. The evaluation of
properties within the APE will be reported in the
Historical Resource Evaluation Report (HRER), which
will include a historic context statement. In addition,
ICF Jones & Stokes will review the Caltrans historic
bridge inventory, and identify previously evaluated state
and local bridges within the APE.
As part of the project an evaluation of several portions
of what is anticipated would comprise the APE were
evaluated. The depot that is located at the east end of
the project alignment was constructed in 1986 and
would not require evaluation (the original depot was
demolished when the new depot was constructed). The
Juvenile Detention Home (located at 1207 Fruit Street)
was also evaluated as part of the Centerline project and
it was concluded that the property does not appear to
meet the criteria for listing on the National Register of
Historic Places (NRHP) or the California Register of
Historical Resources (CRHR), and has not been
designated as historic by the City of Santa Ana. No
other resources were identified that required evaluation
within what would be the anticipated APE for the
proposed project. It was noted that the area along
Santiago Street to the south of Santa Ana Boulevard has
a high potential for buried archaeological resources,
however, no resources or sites were identified during
the field work that was performed for the Centerline
project along the portion of Santiago Street where it
intersects Santa Ana Boulevard.
Following completion and approval of the APE and
detailed reports discussed above, a summary document
(the HPSR) shall be generated in accordance with
Caltrans /FHWA standards for Section 106 compliance
with the N H PA. It is anticipated that the proposed
project shall result in an HPSR with a finding that only
properties previously determined not eligible for
inclusion in the NRHP or that are determined to be not
eligible for inclusion in the NRHP are present within the
Project APE. No further cultural work, including Phase II
analyses /investigations and /or a Finding of Effect, are
assumed or included in this scope of work.
for guidelines, the visual analysis will be prepared under
the direction of a licensed Landscape Architect and
based on FHWA's Visual Impact Assessment for
Highway Projects. The existing visual environment and
viewshed will be analyzed using available mapping,
aerial photos, GIS, and site reconnaissance. Project
plans and profiles will be analyzed to identify proposed
physical changes to the study area and to aid in the
identification of key observer viewpoints.
Key viewpoints (visual quality "sensitive receptors ") will
be identified for the proposed project. Visual quality of
proposed conditions will be evaluated OF and FROM the
key viewpoints. That is, visual quality will be evaluated
"OF" the proposed improvements and "FROM" the
improved facility toward the viewpoint. It is assumed
that up to three key viewpoints will be identified and
assessed. These viewpoints will be submitted to
Caltrans for approval prior to starting the analysis.
FHWA methodology, including the evaluation of unity,
intactness, and vividness, will be applied. Mitigation
measures, such as finish treatment of structures and
sound barriers and plantings, will be recommended, if
necessary. Noise mitigation, including walls and /or
berms will be included in the analysis if identified in the
noise report.
It is assumed that up to two visual simulations will be
included.
(Noise Study Rep(
ICF Jones & Stokes will prepare a noise study report
evaluating the noise impacts and potential noise
abatement /mitigation measures, if any, associated with
the proposed project. Because federal and Caltrans
oversight is involved, the report will be prepared in
accordance with procedures specified by FHWA in Title
23, Section 772 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
(23 CFR 772) and the Caltrans Traffic Noise Analysis
Protocol (Protocol).
ICF Jones & Stokes will conduct a site visit to identify
noise sensitive land uses and other features of the
project area relevant to the noise study. Noise sensitive
receptors have been identified, including those homes
Proposal for Project Study Report Equivalent and Conceptual Engineering Plans for
Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation Project
AECOM
located to the east of the rai l line along the north side of
Santa Ana Boulevard. ICF Jones & Stokes will consult
with the Caltrans District 12 noise specialist assigned to
this project to ensure that all requirements are
addressed.
A field noise study will be performed to quantify and
assess existing noise conditions at the potential noise -
sensitive areas. It is estimated that short -term (10 to 15
minutes duration) sound -level data will be collected at
up to four (4) representative noise - sensitive locations
throughout the area. In addition continuous 24 -hour
noise monitoring will be conducted at up to one location
if a secure measurement location can be identified.
ICF Jones & Stokes will conduct traffic noise modeling
related to the proposed project using the FHWA Traffic
Noise Model (TN M) Version 2.5 and traffic data to be
provided by the project traffic engineer. TNM will be
used to model worst - noise -hour noise conditions at
representative modeled receiver locations under
existing conditions and design -year conditions with and
without the proposed project.
Traffic noise impacts of the proposed project under
23CFR772 will be assessed by determining if
implementation of the project is projected to result in
traffic noise levels under design -year conditions that
approach or exceed the FHWA noise abatement criteria
or if implementation of the project is predicted to result
in a substantial increase in noise at noise - sensitive
uses. If traffic noise impacts are projected to occur,
information on the preliminary feasibility and
reasonableness of noise abatement as defined in the
Protocol will be evaluated and presented for use by
decision makers in considering noise abatement. ICF
Jones & Stokes will also evaluate potential construction
noise impacts using methods recommended by the U.S.
Department of Transportation.
ICF Jones & Stokes will prepare a noise study report
addressing the requirements of 23CFR772 in
accordance with guidance in the Protocol and following
the noise analysis report format outlined in the Caltrans
Technical Noise Supplement (TeNS). If warranted the
noise study report will include a preliminary noise
abatement design to schematically identify the location,
height, and extent of noise walls needed to abate noise
impacts. It is assumed that any noise abatement design
and or Noise Abatement Data Report (NADR) would be
prepared and provided by AECOM. In accordance with
Protocol guidance, the description of noise walls will be
sufficient for environmental review of the proposed
project, but not for final design of the walls. Abatement
allowances will be provided for each wall evaluated. It
is assumed that any final noise wall designs would be
prepared by AECOM due to the detailed engineering that
is required for the design of any such noise walls.
ICF Jones & Stokes will conduct a literature search,
perform field surveys, and prepare a Natural
Environmental Study Minimal Impacts (NES /MI) report
analyzing potential impacts to biological resources. An
NES /MI has been identified due to the limited amount of
habitat located within the identified project area. The
report will be prepared in accordance with Caltrans SER
guidance and will conform to the Caltrans NES /MI
annotated outline that is available at the time that the
NES /MI is initiated. The following tasks will be
performed during the preparation of the reports:
Review of Project Information and Applicable
Literature
A literature review will be conducted to identify special -
status species known or reported from the project area.
The literature review will include:
• Special status species lists from the California
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS);
• Database searches of current versions of the
California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB)
and the Online Inventory of the California
Native Plant Society (CN PS);
• The most recent applicable Federal Register
listing package and critical habitat
determination for each federally listed
Endangered or Threatened species potentially
occurring within the project site;
• The most recent CDFG Annual Report on the
status of California's listed Threatened and
Endangered plants and animals; and
• Other available biological studies conducted in
the vicinity of the project site.
Field Evaluation for Biological Resource Constraints
After reviewing relevant information, the project area
will be evaluated, with a thorough walkover covering all
portions relevant to potential biological resource
constraints. Detailed field notes will be compiled
including conditions, visible disturbance factors,
species, habitats, and more general biological resource
issues observed or detected. The site will be evaluated
regarding the presence, absence, or likelihood of
occurrence for all special status species, habitats, or
more general biological resource issues potentially
posing a constraint to the project through applicable
laws and regulations. Adjacent areas will also be briefly
examined to provide context. It is assumed that access
shall be provided by the City or AECOM for the field
surveys. If focused habitat evaluations for any species
other than those included in this scope of work or
focused surveys are required for any species then this
will be communicated to the City and AECOM
immediately and a separate scope and cost for this
work will be provided. The study area is assumed to be
the proposed project footprint plus 100 feet (where
access is permissible).
This task includes evaluations /determinations for the

Potential impacts to minority and low - income
populations, if any, will be addressed in compliance
with Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority and Low - Income
Populations. Data from the 2000 U.S. Census will be
used to identify characteristics of populations within
census block groups traversed by or adjacent to the
proposed project. Community profiles will also be
collected for the local project area, City, County, and the
State of California to help identify regional and local
trends in regards to demographics, local industry,
occupations, and tax base. Potential impacts during the
construction phase due to access limits will be analyzed
and measures to address these impacts proposed, if
required.
Existing planning documents will be reviewed and
potential beneficial and adverse land use impacts of the
proposed project and mitigation measures, if required,
will be identified.
It is anticipated that relocations and property
acquisition would be required as part of the project,
particularly to the west of the rail line. ICF Jones &
Stokes will analyze the primary and secondary effects
of potential acquisitions and displacements that would
be caused by the proposed project. The relocation
impact document is anticipated to be a Relocation
Impact Report (Draft and Final) based on past
experience within the District. A Draft Relocation
Impact Report (DRIR) will be prepared pursuant to
FHWA guidelines /policies to comply with the Uniform
Relocation and Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, the
California Relocation Act, and as described in Chapter
10 of the Caltrans Right -of -Way Manual. The DRIR will
provide the City, Caltrans, and the public with
information on the impact this project will have on
residential and non - residential occupants. It is
assumed that adequate relocation resources would be
available for displacees.
Using aerial photography, 2000 U.S. Census data
(supplemented with additional State, County, and City
data, as available), windshield surveys, and interviews
with local real estate agents, if needed, ICF Jones &
Stokes will identify characteristics of potential
relocations, including the number /type of residences,
businesses, farms, and /or non - profit organizations. ICF
Jones & Stokes will identify the characteristics of the
residential displacements including lot size,
improvements on parcel, age of structures, general
condition, and the number of bedrooms /bathrooms. For
businesses characteristics to be documented include
the number of employees, building size, parking areas,
and owner /tenant mix. In addition, ICF Jones & Stokes
will identify and evaluate potential relocation resource
areas and any difficulties that may arise, relocation -
related business issues, and the project's effects on the
local tax base.
Following public availability of the environmental
document, a Final Relocation Impact Report (FRIR) will
be prepared that identifies relocation resources, timing
of acquisition, and more detailed displacee data. This
scope of work does not include interviewing the
affected owners and tenants of the displaced
properties, if required.
Paleontological Inforr^� ,"Inn Pep0r + /Dc%1nn to
Evaluation Report
It is assumed that a combined Paleontological
Information Report /Paleontological Evaluation Report
(PIR /PER) will be prepared that will identify and
document the viability of paleontological resources
existing with the project's study limits. The following
identifies the tasks to be performed.
Literature Search and Field Review
• Applicable Laws - ICF Jones & Stokes shall review
relevant State and federal statutes, regulations,
and guidelines to determine the requirements for
protection of paleontological resources specific to
this project.
• Coordination with Agencies and Schools - ICF Jones
& Stokes shall coordinate with appropriate
agencies and educational facilities to collect data
regarding paleontological sensitivity.
• Library Search - ICF Jones & Stokes shall search
relevant published information, including technical
geologic and paleontological articles, discussions
of fossil localities and their geologic context,
geologic maps, and descriptions of sedimentary
geologic units in the project area.
• Museum Record Search - ICF Jones & Stokes shall
examine unpublished specimen records in
museums to obtain information relating to resource
distribution in the project area.
• Field Review - ICF Jones & Stokes shall visit the
proposed project site to observe stratigraphic
features, bedding geometry and other relevant
geologic features.
Data Compilation & Sensitivity Assessment
Data accumulated from the above sources will be
integrated and summarized to provide a description of
the known aspects of the resource, if relevant. These
aspects include the probability that the affected
geological units include paleontological resources, the
probable /possible significance of any likely fossils, and
the effects of any historic surface modifications.
The goal of the PER portion of the report is to identify
the potential for impacts to significant paleontological
resources within the project's limits. The report
.g
'r Proposal for Project Study Report Equivalent and Conceptual Engineering Plans for
Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation Project
AECO M
prepared will identify and document anticipated impact
to paleontological resources existing with the project's
limits of disturbance (both vertical and horizontal), if
potential impacts exist.
ICF Jones & Stokes shall prepare a PIR /PER that
includes the following:
• Summary of the proposed project
• Delineation of the project limits
• Delineation of the project excavation locations and
depths
• Document efforts to avoid or minimize effects on
paleontological resources
• Identify significance and /or sensitivity of
paleontological resources and /or rock units
following the guidance provided at:
http: / /www.dot.ca.gov /ser /volt /sec3 /physical /Ch0
8Paleo /chap08paleo.htm #pir
• Identification of sources consulted and results of
that consultation
• Identification of any consultation related
constraints
• Identification of a course of action, including
identification of specific geologic formations and
paleontological resources
• Identification of the persons preparing the PIR /PER
and their qualifications
• Identify whether a Paleontological Mitigation Plan
(PMP) is recommended
It is assumed that a PMP will not be recommended or
required for the proposed project and one is not
included in this scope and cost. It is further assumed
that the findings of the PIR /PER will be negative and no
additional paleontological tasks or effort will be
req u i red.
Based upon the last three road /rail grade separation
projects that ICF Jones & Stokes has performed in
southern California an air quality report may not be
required for the project. It has been determined on
these other three projects that as long as the project
does not add additional capacity or include the
installation of new stop signs or traffic signals that an
Air Quality Report is not required. However, an Air
Quality Report has been included in this scope and cost
in case it is ultimately determined to be required by the
District. This will be discussed early in the process with
Caltrans and further document in the PES that is
prepared.
ICF Jones & Stokes will prepare an air quality technical
report that analyzes air pollutant emissions associated
with changes in vehicle speed and traffic distribution
patterns resulting from the proposed project. All impact
analyses will be performed consistent with the
technical requirements and methodologies outlined in
the Caltrans' Standard Environmental Reference (air
quality chapter).
The air quality technical report will provide the following
discussions and analyses:
Regulatory Setting and Existing Conditions.
Summarize the existing federal, state, and local air
quality regulatory environment as it affects the
proposed project, and describe the location of sensitive
receptors in the project vicinity. Using data provided by
the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the
SCAQMD, characterize existing air quality conditions in
the project area and explain how those conditions are
affected by local climate and topography.
Evaluation of Construction Emissions. Based on
current District 12 procedure, provide a qualitative
discussion related to construction emissions.
Evaluation of Operations- Period Mass Emissions.
Evaluate whether the project meets transportation
conformity requirements by determining whether it is
included, as currently defined, in the most recent
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Regional
Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) prepared
by the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG). It is assumed that the projects will be included
in the RTIP and that a regional analysis will not be
req u i red.
Localized Carbon Monoxide Hot SpotAnalysis.
Analyze the degree to which project- related traffic
volumes have a potential to effect local carbon
monoxide (CO) concentrations using the California
Department of Transportation CO Hotspot Protocol. It is
anticipated that the CO screening procedure will be
appropriate. However, it is assumed, based on
experience within the District that CALINE -4 dispersion
modeling will also be performed. It is assumed that up
to two intersections will be modeled.
Localized PM2.5 1PM10 Hot Spot Analysis. Analyze
the degree to which project- related traffic volumes have
a potential to affect local PM2.5 and PM10
concentrations, based on the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance
document entitled Transportation Conformity Guidance
for Qualitative Hot -spot Analyses in PM2.5 and PM10
Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas. This scope and
cost assumes that a screening level analysis is
appropriate, and that no modeling will be required by
Caltrans or FHWAto address PM2.5 and PM10.
Mobile Source Air Toxics. Evaluate proposed project -
related mobile source air toxics (MSATs) emissions in
accordance with FHWA interim guidance on how MSATs
should be addressed in NEPA documents. It is not
assumed that extensive qualitative analyses would be
required to address MSATs. If an extensive quantitative
analysis is required for the project, then a scope and
cost estimate would be provided for this additional
effort, however, such an analysis is not anticipated.

Climate Change /Greenhouse Gas Emissions. A
quantification of operational - period greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions associated with implementation of the
proposed project will be conducted. Consistent with
current Caltrans policy, construction - period GHG
emissions will not be quantified. Operations - period
GHG emissions will be quantified using regional daily
peak - period and non - peak - period vehicle miles traveled
(VMT) apportioned into 5 mph speed bins for speeds
between 5 mph and 75 mph; and the CT -EMFAC
emissions model. ICF Jones & Stokes will present a
comparison of GHG emissions associated with the Build
Alternative(s) to the No -build Alternative to characterize
effects of the proposed project on GHG emissions. The
analysis of climate change also will also incorporate the
most recent guidance found on the Caltrans Standard
Environmental Reference and Caltrans annotated
outline.
Air Quality ConformityAnalysis Report and Checklist.
Under NEPA delegation, the federal air quality
conformity determination has not been delegated to
Caltrans and must be made by FHWA. We will prepare a
separate Air Quality Conformity Analysis using the
annotated outline for this report on the SER at the time
that the report is initiated and will also prepare the
Conformity Checklist based on the checklist that is
available on the SER at the time that the Air Quality
Conformity Analysis Report is prepared.
SCA G Transporta tion Conformity Working Group. T h e
required TCWG form will be completed and submitted
for forwarding to SCAG for inclusion on the agenda for
determining if the project is a project of air quality
concern ( POAQC). It is assumed the project will be
found to not be a POAQC and that no specific analysis
will be required related to the TCWG determination
other than what is already included in this scope of
work.
Mitigation Measures. ICF Jones & Stokes will develop
mitigation measures, where applicable, to address
significant air quality impacts, if present.
For the proposed project it is assumed that the NEPA
document to be prepared will be a Categorical Exclusion
with technical studies. Railroad grade separations are
identified as NEPA Categorical Exclusions under 23 CFR
771.117(d). Railroad grade separations are statutorily
exempt from CEQA, as identified in Section 21080.13 of
the Public Resources Code and in Section 15282(g) of
the CEQA Guidelines. Statutorily exempt projects are
excused entirely from the environmental review process
and the requirements of CEQA. In addition, all activities
performed to support these projects are also included in
the exemption. It is assumed that all project
components are associated with the railroad grade
separation and would be covered under the exemption.
Therefore, it is assumed that no CEQA document or
documentation will be required for the proposed
project. If components are added to the project that are
not related to the grade separation then the statutory
exemption may not apply and additional work not
covered in this scope and cost, including a CEQA
document, may be required.
C` + C A * "categorical Exclusion
A Notice of Exemption (NOE) will be prepared and
provided to the City for approval and submittal to the
State Clearinghouse. This notice starts the statue of
limitations under CEQA so it is recommended that the
City file this notice. No additional CEQA documentation
beyond the completion of the NOE form is assumed as
part of this scope and cost.
Based on the environmental technical studies
previously discussed a Categorical Exclusion (CE) will be
prepared pursuant to NEPA. ICF Jones & Stokes will
prepare the CE in compliance with the latest format
identified on Caltrans Standard Environmental
Reference website. In addition, the Categorical
Exclusion Checklist will be prepared.
As part of the CE a detailed project description will be
included. The CE will also include a very brief (two to
three sentence) summary of the findings of each of the
technical studies. No separate environmental
document is assumed to be prepared to support the CE
and none is included in this scope and cost.
It is assumed that ICF Jones & Stokes will revise the CE
twice based on comments from the City and Caltrans (to
be reviewed concurrently).
Environmental Commitments Record
For the project an environmental commitments record
(ECR) will be prepared in a matrix table format. The ECR
will be submitted to the City and Caltrans in hard copy
and electronic form. The matrix table will include a
description of each mitigation measure organized by
topic numbered to correspond with the impacts. For
each mitigation measure, the Reporting Process, Timing
of Measure, Responsible Party, and Verification of
Compliance will be identified through coordination with
resource agencies and experience on other similar
projects. The ECR will be included with the CE and it is
assumed that this document will be reviewed as part of
the City and Caltrans review of the CE.

Draft Environmental Assessment
It is assumed that if a NEPA CE is not agreed upon by
Caltrans then the appropriate document for the
proposed project will be an Environmental Assessment
(EA) followed by a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI). If a higher -level document is required then a
separate scope and fee will be provided for preparing
the increased level of documentation.
Utilizing the information contained in the technical
reports, along with additional information and analyses
that are performed, as necessary, a Screencheck Draft
EA will be prepared based on the current version of the
NEPA -only document annotated outline that is available
at the time that the document is initiated. The
Screencheck Draft EA will be submitted to the City and
Caltrans for review. Along with the Screencheck Draft
EA, the external QA /QC form and environmental
document checklist will be prepared and submitted.
The QA /QC form and checklist are assumed to be
included with each submittal.
Following the incorporation of comments from the City
and Caltrans the Draft EA will be prepared and
submitted for City and Caltrans review. Following this
review the revised Draft EA will be prepared and
submitted for City and Caltrans review. Following this
review any comments will be addressed and a revision
workshop will be conducted, if needed. Following the
workshop the second revised Draft EA will be submitted
to the City and Caltrans for concurrence and for the
Caltrans NEPA QC review. Following the incorporation
of comments from the Caltrans NEPA QC review the
final Draft EA will be submitted for Caltrans review and
approval /concurrence. It is assumed that the project
will qualify as a regular and not a complex EA. It is
assumed that 30 hard copies and one original of the
Final Draft EA will be printed for circulation, including
the 15 copies to be submitted to the State
Clearinghouse. It is assumed that technical studies will
be provided on CD only for inclusion with the documents
that are made available at the City, Caltrans, and the
local library. ICF Jones & Stokes will utilize a
distribution list developed with the City and Caltrans for
distribution. It is assumed that distribution to agencies
will consist of a CD and not hard copies of the
document. All other recipients would receive the Notice
of Availability (NOA) only. The NOA will be mailed to
property owners and residents living within 500 feet of
the proposed project using a mailing list generated and
provided by AECOM's right -of -way consultant or the
City.

publication of the EA will be prepared for publication.
The notice wi I.I. also identify the date, time, and location
for the public information meeting that is to be held.
This notice will be submitted to the City and Caltrans for
review and comment. A public hearing would be held for
the project if a request for a public hearing were
received in response to the Notice of Opportunity. It is
not anticipated that a public hearing will be requested
or required. ICF Jones & Stokes will coordinate the
publication of the Notice in an English and Spanish
language newspaper; however, it is assumed that the
City will be responsible for paying the publications
directly for the publications. The cost of
advertisements is not included in this scope and cost.

EA, ICF Jones & Stokes will review and respond to all
comments received. In addition, ICF Jones & Stokes will
attend a meeting with City and Caltrans staff to review
any written comments on the Draft EA that were
received and to discuss potential responses to these
comments, if the comments received warrant such a
meeting. The responses to comments will be forwarded
to the City and Caltrans for review and approval prior to
making any changes to the EA, if the comments received
are substantial enough to warrant this process. It is
assumed that no comments requiring new analyses or
