ATTACHMENT A
Mr. Rick Seanor, Deputy Director October 8, 2014
City of Ukiah, Department of Public Works
300 Seminary Avenue
Ukiah, CA 95482-5400
PROPOSAL: PREPARE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS & ESTIMATE
FOR STORM DRAIN ABANDONMENT AND REPLACEMENT
AT REDWOOD EMPIRE FAIRGROUNDS
Dear Mr. Seanor:
Rau and Associates, Inc. (RAU) is pleased to respond to the City of Ukiah's RFP for
Engineering Services to design a project for the Storm Drain Abandonment and Replacement
Project at the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds.
The project entails replacing an existing 18 inch diameter and 24 inch diameter storm drain with
a new system of equal sized piping. The new drain would commence at North State Street just
south of the main entrance into the fairgrounds, run along the westerly and southerly edge of
the graveled parking area and access road for a distance of approximately 1,250' to the western
side of Mazzoni Street at its entrance into the fairgrounds property. Junction boxes are to be
installed at ma'or angle points and at three points of connection of incoming
RAU's proposal includes a work plan for completing the tasks outlined in the RFP, namely
surveying and mapping, designing the replacement storm drain generally along the route
designated in the RFP, specifying the abandonment of segments of the existing system in-
place, preparation of a sediment and erosion control plan, preparing technical specifications,
providing work quantity takeoffs with the associated cost estimate, and developing a
construction timeline. Optional tasks include mapping potholed utilities potentially in conflict with
the new construction, and preparing AS-BUILT drawings off of Contractor field markups.
We have provided you with a detailed explanation of how we intend to approach the project,
including a summary of hours which we anticipate will be needed to complete the various tasks
essential to meeting the objectives of the project. We have reviewed the City's proposed
timeline outlined in the RFP and wish to assure you,that we can meet the milestones to
complete the tasks, such that 100% documents are available by November 20, 2014.
Our project team has a significant amount of experience in surveying, stormwater collection
system design, contract specifications and cost estimate preparation, and construction review.
• George Rau, PE, the president of the firm, will serve as Principal in Charge, and
Responsible Project Surveyor. He will direct the work of the surveyors to collect the
necessary data. It is important, on a time critical job to get it right the first time, so
developing a mapping plan is key. He is also the lead design engineer, and will work
Mr. Rick Seanor, October 8, 2014 Page 2
with John Johnson to prepare the project plans. He will use his extensive experience in
compiling specifications to edit the City of Ukiah boilerplate to fit this project. As a
QSD/QSP recognized by the Water Board, he will assure that the sediment and erosion
control plan is developed with applicable standards.
• Mike Wanecek will be responsible for quality assurance in developing construction
drawings and details for the construction plans. He has developed the design protocols
in the RAU office for utilization of Civil 3D and assists all other designers and mappers in
coordinating the work to be efficient and to take advantage of the strengths of the
software.
• John Johnson is our party chief on surveys and the design drafter on many public works
and private projects, working closely with George Rau as the proposed design team. He
has extensive experience in developing plan and profile sheets for utility improvement
projects and sediment and erosion control plans for many types of projects.
• Chris Rau is the other member of our survey team who has years of experience in
performing topographic mapping and boundary surveys, as well as construction staking.
He is responsible for setting up the control network which not only serves as a basis for
preliminary design work, but also serves as a convenient layout grid for construction
staking.
RAU staff will work closely with City Staff to arrive at the best alignment for the replacement
main, both in terms of use of space and constructability. We have already spent a considerable
amount of time reviewing the potential route and its constraints. This will allow us to ask very
pertinent questions of City Staff before designing the system, and assist the City Staff in
evaluating how the replacement system can be assured of a long service life with minimal
maintenance. Because of this knowledge and life-cycle approach, our proposal is the best one
in terms of designing a system which balances economy of installation with functionality and
minimal maintenance costs over an anticipated 50 year or longer life.
is proposal presents a firm offer that shall remain valid or a period of at eas _30 days from
the date of its presentation. As president of the firm, George Rau is authorized to negotiate a
contract and bind the firm to the terms of the contract.
We greatly appreciate this opportunity to be of service and look forward to working closely with
your staff in completing this project.
Very truly yours,
-

Attachment: Project Approach and Schedule
Mr. Rick Seanor, October 8, 2014 Page 3
Project Approach and Schedule
The City of Ukiah proposes to replace an existing 18" and 24" diameter storm drain which
currently collects storm water from existing culverts crossing North State Street and then flows
easterly to Mazzoni Street. The entire system is on the 12th District Fairground. The
replacement system will be of the same diameter culvert as currently exists. Materials are
subject to final approval of the City Public Works Department, but will likely be HDPE pipe
meeting AASHTO highway standards.
The proposed storm drain is to extend a distance of approximately 1100 linear feet from the
current connection of a storm drain which crosses North State Street just south of the main
fairground entrance, then extends southerly and easterly to the intersection of Mazzoni Street to
the fairground property. It picks up a major 24 inch diameter cross culvert from North State
Street approximately 400 linear feet south of the first North State Street Crossing, then
meanders along a secondary access road until it reaches a point near the northwest corner of
APN 002-010-13. At this point the original design drawing for the storm drain shows a lateral
coming from a drainage inlet on the private property(APN 002-010-13) to the fairgrounds
system. The replacement storm drain would extend another 320 feet more or less to the
existing junction box at the northwest corner of Mazzoni Street intersection with the fairground
property.
There is currently evidence of repairs and/or investigatory excavations at a couple of locations
along this route. There are potentially several constraints to the conceptual alignment. Near
North State Street, there are some utilities and other structures near the proposed alignment.
Two water lines and a sanitary sewer main are shown to cross the proposed alignment of the
-A storm drain. The grate of the area drain in the northwest corner of APN 002-010-13 is
approximately four feet lower than the grade ot the gravel access road proposed as a roue for
the storm sewer. Thus the trench will likely be six or seven feet deep in this area in order for the
area drain to function.
At a distance of approximately 180 feet west of the junction box in Mazzoni Street, there has
been a 6 foot by 8 foot shed constructed, which partially blocks the storm drain route. A
decision will have to be made about whether to veer the storm drain in front of the shed
between the paved parking lot and the stoop in front of the shed or behind the shed between it
and the fence. There is a space of about 3 feet between the shed and the edge of pavement,
where a small concrete ramp could be removed and replaced. With a wider angle of deviation
from a straight line, the drain pipe could be diverted behind the shed, in an area about eight feet
wide between the shed and a fence. There are also some redwood trees which potentially
could have roots in this area. Some photos of some of the site constraints are included in
Attachment C.
The site observations noted above indicate that planning of the mapping is crucial to obtain
sufficient information the first time out to be able to confer with City Staff and make decisions
about the alignment of the storm drain. Along with observations of surface features, it is
recommended that some "potholes" be excavated to discover some of the critical vertical
constraints from the other utilities mentioned. Although not a part of the base services
Mr. Rick Seanor, October 8, 2014 Page 4
requested, we have included an optional task to participate in uncovering some of the potentially
conflicting utilities and mapping their horizontal and vertical location, so that the design can
anticipate their location and avoid construction change orders and re-design costs.
It is anticipated that a kickoff meeting with the City will cover these design challenges and result
in direction about either to pothole the existing utilities or not. If it is decided to pothole existing
utilities, it is anticipated the City equipment and labor will be used, or that the City will retain a
contractor with a vacuum pump to expose them. RAU will provide the survey crew to locate the
utilities, horizontally and vertically and incorporate the information into the mapping. If a
decision can be made within a day or two to do the potholes and mapping can be delayed until
the potholes are in progress, the additional cost of mapping the pothole locations can be
absorbed into the planned mapping costs. If the potholing is delayed so that mapping must
proceed in order to be able to meet the rest of the schedule, there would be additional costs to
re-mobilize and map the pothole locations.
It is anticipated that the mapping will take two days, including field mapping and office reduction
of data.
Preliminary alignment of the storm drain will be designed in one day, and constraints known will
be noted on the preliminary design drawing. We will consult with the City DPW staff to
determine the best alignment for the new storm drain and the methods and locations of
abandonment of the existing storm drain. A decision will be made about whether the storm
drain segments are to be removed and the resultant trench backfilled, or whether the ends
should be capped with grout, or whether the segment should be pumped full of low strength
concrete/grout. This decision making process is expected to be complete in two or three days.
Then the design process is expected to be advanced to the 60% completion milestone in
another five to seven days. If we are given the Notice to Proceed on October 17th, and we can
agree on design constraints and solutions by October 23rd, we expect to have the 60% PS&E
completed by Close of Business on October 27tH
We have anticipated 4 to 8 calendar days for the City Staff to review the 60% submittal. Then
we will complete the corrections/additions to the contract documents and submit them at 100%
Completion for a final review. Any final changes can be made within a day and the final set of
deliverables is anticipated to be delivered no later than November 12tH
Our staff is between major projects for the next month or six weeks and will be able to focus a
significant effort to meeting the rather aggressive schedule proposed. A projected timeline is
provided in Attachment A to this proposal.
RAU will prepare drawing sheets that include a cover sheet with general and construction notes,
two V=20' scaled plan and profile sheets with plan views showing 1' contour intervals, a single
sediment and erosion control plan at a scale of 1" = 40", with BMP details, and one sheet of
details of construction. Drafting will be performed in Civi13D 2013. Details will include City of
Ukiah Standard Details, as well as project specific details, as may be required.
RAU will compile technical specification sections that conform to the City's standard
specification package; and along with quantity takeoffs correlating to bid items, and a detailed
Opinion of Probable Construction Cost estimate.
• To reduce cost and speed the process, RAU proposes that review copies of the
documents will be provided to the City electronically. Hard copies of the documents can
be provided upon request.
Mr. Rick Seanor, October 8, 2014 Page 5
Mapping Potholed Utilities and Project Closeout
• Mapping potholed utilities has been discussed in detail above. If the mapping can
proceed as the potholes are being done, there will be no additional costs for this task. If
the potholes are done after the mapping is complete, the re-mobilization and mapping
costs of the utilities exposed by potholing will be at an extra cost and it is estimated as
part of the fee schedule.
• Upon project close-out, RAU will transfer contractor-supplied markups to the project
construction drawings, and format the drawings as "ASBUILT." They will be supplied
electronically to the City for a quick review, and then printed on Mylar, for the City's
permanent records.
Final Construction Documents and Deliverables
The City will review documents submitted by RAU and return comments by November 5, 2014.
RAU will accept written hardcopy or electronic copies of markups and comments for
incorporation to the final documents. After review and concurrence with draft documents by the
City, RAU will finalize the documents. One full size copy of the plans on reproducible mylar and
one reduced size copy (11x17) of the plan sheets will be provided, along with one single-sided
unbound copy of the specifications, field verified quantity estimate, and detailed Opinion of
Probable Construction Costs estimate. In addition, ten sets of plans and specifications will be
delivered. The documents will also be provided in PDF form in digital format.
• It is proposed to use vellum in lieu of Mylar for printing the ten sets of plans.
