ATTACHMENT "A"
Northwestern Pacific Rail
trail background
In 1999, the City of Ukiah began to plan a new Class I
trail adjacent to the Northwestern Pacific (NWP) railroad
tracks in the North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA)
right-of-way (R/W) corridor. The trail concept appeared in
the City's 1999 Bicycle Master Plan, completed by GHD
teaming partner Alta Planning + Design. The project
was ranked as the highest priority in the Bicycle Master
Plan and in the 2006 Mendocino County Regional
Bikeway Plan. The planning for the overall NWP Rail
Trail Project was further developed in the 2002 Rail Trail
Feasibility Study, also completed by Alta, as well as in
the 2012 Mendocino County Rail -with -Trail Corridor Plan
(2012 Trail Corridor Plan), which was completed by Alta
and GHD.
The NWP Rail Trail project has broad community support
and, of critical importance, the support of the MCRA.
Within the City of Ukiah, the NWP Rail Trail project was
divided into three segments, to be implemented in three
phases:
• Phase 1: Clara Street in the north to Gobbi Street in
the south
• Phase 2: Gobbi Street in the north to Commerce
Drive in the south
• Phase 3: Brush Street in the north to Clara Street in
the south
Figure 2.1. Southern end of Phase 3 trail segment at Cara Avenue
looking south at the Phase i segment.
GHD I Northwestern Pacific Rail Trail Phase 3 'No. 18-04) 1 1
In 2012, the City selected the GHD/Alta team to deliver
Phase 1 of the project, which was the first rail -with -trail
project to be designed and constructed within the NCRA
RNV in Mendocino County, involving surveying and
mapping; preparation of the Trail Corridor Management
Plan, Safety Plan, and Trail Policy; a public workshop;
and the complete design. Construction of Phase 1
completed in 2015, with GHD providing construction
management and inspection services. in 2018, the
GHD/Alta team was successively selected to prepare
construction documents for the Phase 2 section of trail,
tentatively going to construction the winter of 2019.
GHD also assisted the City in obtaining approvals from
the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC),
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW),
Caltrans and NCRA. In addition, GHD assisted in
creating a License Agreement between the City and
NCRA for the further development of the NWP Rail Trail
project, a 25 -year agreement that is critical to the overall
success of this three-phase endeavour. By granting the
City a non-exclusive license to access and utilize the
NCRA RNV to construct, operate, and maintain a Class
trail (in addition to outlining other requirements).
Most of the detailed requirements referenced in
the agreement are described in the NCRA Policy &
Procedures Manual, §0907 Trail Projects on the NWP
Line Rights -of -Way: Design, Construction, Safety,
Operations, and Maintenance Guidelines (Rail -with -Trail
Guidelines). These guidelines encompass requirements
for licensing, permitting, and planning for trail projects
in the NCRA R/W. Two of the key planning documents
required by these guidelines are a feasibility study and
safety plan. GHD incorporated the feasibility study
and safety plan documentation in the Phase 1 Trail
Corridor Management Plan, a document that addresses
management issues throughout the study area relating
to use and design of the facility. This study and
documentation are also needed for Phase 3:
The feasibility study was required to demonstrate a
project's comprehensive viability, as well as to present
an alternatives analysis. The 2012 Mendocino County
Rail with Trail Corridor Plan meets this requirement, and
identifies this Phase 3 project segment as a Segment
No. S11.
The safety plan lays out engineering standards,
trespassing and crime prevention strategies, signage,
access points, and methods/processed for coordination
with police and fire protection. GHD and Alta has
together completed these documents for previous
projects, including for, as previously mentioned, the
Phase 1 and 2 portions of this project.
21 GHD
Phase 3 project
understanding
In 2018 the City received an Urban Greening Grant from
the state administered by California Natural Resources
Agency to complete the Phase 3 segment. The Urban
Greening Grant supports projects that reduce Green
House Gases (GHG), by enhancing, expanding and
creating neighbourhood parks, provide greening of public
lands, mitigating urban heat islands, or developing non -
motorized urban trails that provide safe routes to travel
between residences, workplaces, commercial centers
and schools.
In June 2016, the City completed the Phase 3
environmental documentation through a CEQA Notice
of Exemption. The project was determined to be
Categorically Exempt under Section 15303 (Class 3,
new construction of small facilities) and Section 15304
(Class 4, construction of a bicycle/multi-use trail within
an existing right-of-way).
The Phase 3 trail segment is approximately one quarter
of a mile long, includes new bridge over Orrs Creek, a
new mid -block pedestrian crossings at Ford Street with a
pedestrian refuge. The Phase 1 project alignment, which
was located on the west side of the NWP railroad tracks,
the Phase 2 alignment is located on the east side of the
tracks. The Phase 3 alignment being located on the west
side of the tracks has several advantages, as well as a
couple of potential challenges. These opportunities and
constraints are described below, under "Approach".
The City has established a schedule for the project, with
the goal of completing design in January 2019 in order
to comply with the Performance Period as indicated in
the Urban Greening Grant Agreement. This schedule
is an important goal for the City, as it will ensure that
construction moves forward during spring and summer
of 2019. Achieving this schedule is contingent on
overcoming key project issues, which are also described
below, under "Approach".
The GHD/Alta team has a very deep understanding
of this project, developed over the past 15 years, and
so is able to leverage a tremendous amount of recent
experience with the City of Ukiah on Phase 1 and 2 of
the Northwestern Pacific Rail Trail project; as well as
many other similar rail -with -trail projects (described in
Section 3 and Section 6 of this proposal) to successfully
meet the ambitious schedule and deliver all project
components to the satisfaction of the City.
Within the past five years, we have also worked directly
with NCRA and NWPCO staff on the development of
numerous rail -with -trail projects in Northern California.
GHD and Alta trail designs have become the centerpiece
of communities, and we recognize the potential for
currently underutilized land to increase in value as the
trail gains popularity, which includes opportunities for
trail -front businesses.
Additionally, Alta is recognized nationwide as a leader in
the development of trail projects within railroad rights-of-
way. They have published reports, in collaboration with
the U.S. Department of Transportation, that examine
safety, design, and liability issues associated with the
development of shared use paths and other trails within
or adjacent to active railroad and transit rights-of-way.
Phase 3 approach
In preparing our proposal, we met with the City multiple
times to discuss specific details and potential challenges
regarding the Phase 3 project. We walked and photo -
documented (the evidence of which you can find
throughout this section) the entire Phase 3 alignment,
as well as obtaining and reviewing all background
documentation, including NCRA R/W mapping and
the applicable policies, goals, and objectives outlined
in the 2015 Ukiah Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
(prepared by Alta).
Through a combination of our unique historic
understanding of the project and our recent investigative
efforts, we have identified some key challenges within
Phase 3. The following section identifies these key
challenges and GHD's proposed approach to each.
Schedule constraints
To meet the schedule established for this project, it
is critical that the approach be efficiently executed
with each task. As noted in Section 3, GHD's project
management and design team has worked with the
City on numerous projects, several of which are under
construction. We have an established relationship with
City staff, as well as with the City's Project Manager on
this project (Ben Kageyama), enabling us to focus on the
project immediately and quickly move from the feasibility
study into the detailed design phase, as outlined in the
RFP (No. 18-04).
The project team can only meet the schedule (See the
end of this section.) if able to immediately start on
the project and rapidly complete both the topographic
survey, right-of-way and flood zone analysis. GHD
previously completed a portion of mapping for a
Figure 2.2. Rendering of trail crossing at Clara Avenue Booking north)
GHD j Northwestern Pacific Rail Trail Phase 3 (No. 18-04)13
downstream portion of Orrs Creek as a part of the
Site Development for Well 9 project, as well as a short
section north of Clara Avenue, allowing us to build
upon this existing basemap will allow us to complete
the trail and drainage design. We propose to conduct
a focused topographic survey on the west side of the
railroad tracks where the alignment is designated in the
Urban Greening Grant. In order to quickly complete the
survey, we will use a combination of aerial drone and
truck -mounted equipment (with limited manual survey)
at specifically and strategically chosen locations, such as
at Orrs Creek. The survey will be completed by GHD's
in-house resources. This survey approach will reduce
survey costs and allow us to quickly focus the Corridor
Management Plan and Preliminary (30%) Design.
Preliminary design and lighting
standards
Key goals of the Preliminary Design are to verify that
the minimum offset of the trail improvements from the
centerline of the railroad tracks is met, to confirm that
RMI and flood zone requirements are achieved, and to
reflect all of the proposed amenities on the plans and
in the opinion of probable construction cost. Some of
these amenities include benches and trash receptacles,
crossing details, barriers, and lighting standards. In
part cular, the pedestrian lighting standards to be used in
Phase 2 warrant research.
The lighting standards installed in Phase 2 are the
IPL Series manufactured by Firstlight Technologies, a
solar powered LED integrated architectural area light
specifical y designed for use in recreational bikeway/
pathway and public space lighting applications. These
lights use a high performance lithium ion battery to store
solar energy generated during the day, with a battery life
in the range of 8 to 10 years. This is unlike the Phase
1 batteries where lead acid battery that began to fail
in within one year of installation, and since have been
replaced with the lithium ion battery.
The GHD team Wll work with the City to confirm
the preferred lighting standard type, and develop a
specification that addresses the performance issues
that have occurred with the Phase 1 lights, potentially
including an extended warranty on the batteries.

Rights-of-way
Based on the current concept alignment, no R/W or
easement acquisitions are needed. The existing lease
area at the trail end at Brush Street will be vacated by
the lease (Redwood Coast Fuels) prior to construction
of the trail.
The concept drawings included in the City's RFP
(18-04) show a change in trail alignment at this
location as well as Ford Street to avoid existing rail
equipment (signal, gate, cantilever, and an electrical
service). This change in alignment could result in the
trail encroaching on the private property to the west,
necessitating R/W acquisition or an easement, which
could potentially add months to the project schedule,
requiring a schedule extension.
From our field review and measurements at the Ford
Street and Brush Street Road crossing, it appears that
the existing rail signal/gates are not in conflict with the
proposed trail. A minimum clear distance of 23 feet is
needed to construct the proposed 10 -foot -wide trail with
2 -foot -wide shoulders and maintain a 9 -foot offset from
the centerline of the tracks. The clear distance at both
locations is approximately 24 feet. The existing cantilever
will remain.
Proposed alignment
Having completed the Preliminary Design, we will be able
to quickly focus attention on the key issues and proceed
confidently with the development of the proposed
alignment. GHD and Alta will develop the design to
meet or exceed rail -with -trail guidelines, paying close
attention to details. For example, although rail -with -trail
guidelines allow the trail to be set back a minimum of 8.5
feet from the centerline of the track, the offset should be
increased to allow for the placement of trail signing. The
concept for the project is to maintain a minimum of 9.0
feet from the centerline of the track. This allows signs to
be adjacent to the trail while still staying outside of the
required setback. Our intersection details will also be
developed so that they are suitable for submission to the
CPUC for changes to the at -grade crossings (GO8813
Modification of an Existing Rail Crossing).
Environmental and Drainage Impacts: The proposed
trail alignment was developed to minimize environmental
impacts and disturbance of existing drainage patterns
by locating it away from the edge of the R/W where
many large trees are present, as well as to utilize existing
drainage paths. The Phase 3 trail alignment is generally
located downslope of the tracks, which is also the same
general direction of drainage in the project area. Our
site-specific drainage review indicates that drainage
improvements should be fairly straightforward to address
during design.
The Phase 3 trail between Clara Avenue and Ford
Street drain toward Orrs Creek, where there is an
existing rail road trestle bridge, the proposed trail bridge
will be adjacent to existing rail bridge. No stormwater
infrastructure exists along the trail alignment that runs
parallel to Mason Street, north of Clara Avenue. The
proposed Bioswale #1 is located at the north terminus
of Mason Street, which will treat and detain stormwater
for this section of the trail. The Bioswale #1 will drain
directly to Orrs Creek via sheet flow. The trail section
between the proposed bridge and Ford Street will be
placed to match the existing drainage patterns, flowing
south toward Orrs Creek. The proposed Bioswale #2 is
located along this section of the trail alignment, designed
to collect stormwater from this section and drain to
Orrs Creek utilizing a culvert to cross the trail and a
flow spreader to at the top of the bank to disperse the
stormwater evenly down the slope to the creek.
The trail section between Ford Street and Brush Street
Generally slopes north toward Brush Street, where it
currently sheet flows into the street and runs several
hundred feet to an existing catch basin. As in Phase 2,
an infiltration trench will be installed to provide treatment
and storage for the 85th percentile storm event, any
exceedance to this storm event will follow grade to Brush
Street and drain to the existing catch basin.
We will use the new data collected during the
topographic survey and continue the approach of
avoiding impacts as much as practical. This will reduce
the need for costly drainage improvements and reduce
the potential for having to revisit the City's CEQA
analysis. Where the drainage options in the project area
are limited, we will seek to balance the runoff created
by the construction of the trail with vegetated buffers to
improve the infiltration adjacent to the trail to avoid any
increase in the amount of runoff. The estimated area of
disturbance of the project is anticipated to be less than
one acre. We will seek to minimize the impacts where
practical to keep the disturbance area less than one acre
to help avoid having to develop a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and the rest of the NPDE=S
stormwater regulatory requirements. The effort to prepare
a SWPPP, if needed, is included in our proposal.
Orrs Creek: The Bridge over Orrs Creek is an important
feature of the project, providing continuous connection
from the south to the north. It will also provide a link for
emergency response vehicles should the need arise.
Confirming the existing ground elevation in the vicinity of
the proposed bridge relative to the FEMA flood elevation
GHD I Northwestern Pacific Rail Trail Phase 3 (No. 18-04)15
is critical to determining the amount of fill material required
to establish the bridge deck above the flood elevation.
This element of the protect requires the issuance of
a CDFW Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement
application, as is the case with the bridge crossing of
Phase 2. This agreement is also required if the design
substantially changes the creek bank. It the goal of the
design to provide a flatbed ra Icar bridge that will span

6 1 GHD
Phase 3 scope of work
The proposed scope of work to complete the planning
and design of Phase 3 of the Northwestern Pacific Rail
Trail project is described in the following tasks, as well as
.n Figure 2.3, which lays out a flowchart of our proposed
scope, We welcome the City's review of the proposed
scope and are open to discussing any changes which
may better suit the project needs.
Task 1. Project management
GHD will be responsible for managing the coordinated
effort of both GHD and Alta staff. This task includes
the efforts required for GHD's Project Manager, with
administrat;ve assistance, to manage the project
contract, coordinate team personnel and sub -
consultants, maintain the project schedule, coordinate
and perform quality assurance and quality control
reviews, prepare invoicing, and attend field and
deliverable rev ew meetings.
GHD will organ ze and facilitate a kick-off meeting with
the City, Alta, and other key members of the project
team. —he purpose of the kickoff meeting will be to:
• Discuss the project goals
• Discuss and refine the prn;ect's scope of work and
schedule as needed
• Confirm roles and responsibilities
• Confirm the expectations of the City
• Confirm the schedule for project status meetings
• Confirm and request available background data.
Task 2. Review and evaluate
existing documents and data
The GHD team will review and summarize existing data
from the site visits, previous studies and plans, survey
and record information, and relevant City planning
documents. GHD will specifically review:
• Urban Greening Grant Applicaiton
• 2012 Mendocino County Rail with Trail Corridor Plan
(prepared by GHD and Alta)
• NCRA Rail -with -Trail Guidelines
• License Agreement between the City and NCRA
• 1999 and 2015 Ukiah Bicycle and Pedestrian
Master Plans (prepared by Alta)
• 2002 Ukiah NWP Rail Trail Feasibility Study
(prepared by Alta)
GHD will also review other relevant zoning ordinances
and General Plan policies, addressing data gaps with
further field review and data collection from the City,
NCRA, and local agencies, if necessary.
Specific items to be resolved for project context include:
• Adjacent land uses (both existing and future)
• Access points (vehicular and bike/pedestrian)
• Street crossing conditions/configurations
• Potential environmental impacts
• Future trail extension along Airport Road to the south
When authorized to proceed with the project, the
GHD team will contact CDFW to determine if they will
require the City to submit a permit application for a
Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement. If so,
we have included an optional task to prepare the permit
application and coordinate with CDFW.
Deliverables:
No specific deliverables for this task; the results
of this task will be reflected in other deliverables,
below.
Assumptions:
• The City will provide access to relevant documents,
GIS data, and other documents, as needed, to
complete this task.
Task 3. Topographic survey and
right of way determination
Right-of-way and easment research
and review
The GHD team will complete research and review of
City mapping and adjacent parcel boundaries, as well
as of the NCRA R/W, to document the locations of the
existing railroad R/W and City of Ukiah R/W, with the
goal of designing the trail corridor improvements to be
within either the railroad R/W or the City of Ukiah R/W.
GHD is in receipt of the NCRA R/W mapping for the
Phase 3 corridor, and has previously completed partial
mapping of the R/W between Commerce Drive and
Talmage Road for the Transportation Improvements for
Redwood Business Park project.
Project control survey
The GHD team will establish project survey control and
prepare R/W mapping for the project. Our surveyors,
Richard Maddock and Brian Howard, will set horizontal
and vertical control points for project mapping in
accordance with City of Ukiah horizontal and vert'cal
control requirements, which also entails locating
monuments on streets adjacent to the railroad R/W, if
practical. A "Survey Control Data Sheet"—which will
be semi-permanent in nature so as to sere as project
control during construction, or subsequent survey
activities—will exhibit these survey control points.
GHD I Northwestern Pacific Rail Trail Phase 3 (No. 18-04)17
Our surveyors will make field measurements using
GPS and conventional survey methods on the same
horizontal basis as the Transportation Improvements
for Redwood Business Park project, which will allow
the work to seamlessly be brought into the City's GIS
system, which is based upon the California State Plane
Coordinate System.
The horizontal datum will be based on the North
American Datum 83 (NAD 83). The vertical datum will
be based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988
(NAVD 88), which is consistent with the most recent
FEMA flood mapping in Ukiah. GI -D will ensurc that all
survey ng and mapping is in compliance with C ty of
Ukiah standards, or with Caltrans standards when not
otherwise specified by the City. All of the control can be
located by GPS methods at one time.
Mobile L#DAR topographic mapping
The GHD team proposes mobile UDAR topographic
mapping that would cover the project site and
.mmediate surrounding area.
GHD w'll set control using Global Position'ng System
(GPS) methods. GHD will map the project limits using
a vehicle or pedestrian mounted mobile LiDAR system.
A scalable point cloud of the project will be provided
and georeferenced to the project datum. The . 'DAR
mapping will be suitable for compiling a topographic
map with the following specifications:
Finish mapping scale 1 inch = 20 feet
Contours at 1 -foot intervals
GHD will acquire data on all areas obstructed by tree
cover or heavy vegetation via ground-based surreys.
In addition to topography, the resultant map will show
planimetric features such as roads, railroad tracks,
crossing signals, buildings, fences, power poles,
trees, brush, and other features according to standard
practice. Accuracy will equal or exceed National Map
Accuracy Standards for topographic maps compiled by
mobile LiDAR methods.
Supplemental topographic fielld
surveys
The mobile LiDAR mapping will be supplemented with
ground-based topographic surveys in obstructed areas
and at conforms, utility features, and drainage. GHD will
provide field verifications of topographic features, such as
trees, fences, etc. This survey will, at a minimum, include:
Cross sections of the trail corridor and crossing
streets at 25' intervals (surface data will be sufficient
to create a Triangular Irregular Network [TIN) for Civil
3D design)
81 GHD
• Surface evidence of the storm drain system
(ditches, culverts, catch basins, drop inlets with flow
line elevat-ons)
• Surface evidence of utilities
• Power poles, rail equipment, guy wires, and
overhead lines
• Fencing and gates
• Street lights, signs, striping, pavement legends, and
markings
• Mailboxes, drveway, and ramps
• Tree trunk locations and diameter
CAD file set-up and TIN
The GHD team will prepare computer files to include
field control points, topographic surveys, utility data,
property surveys, and preparation of the TIN used for
three-dimensional calculations (i.e., earthwork, cross-
sections, and profiles).
Vegetation/tree survey
Kristine Gaspar, GHD's environmental scientist, will
oversee the identification of trees along critical segments
of the NCRA R/W, compiling a description of the trees
and identity ng any potential constraints to the trail
location created by trees. She will use a handheld GPS
location device to map these vegetative resources as
they are evaluated. The tree locations will be included in
the base map.
Drainage Study
The GHD team will conduct field and office research
to evaluate the drainage systems adjacent to the trail
prior to beginning the mapping effort. Available drainage
studies will be reviewed. Topographic mapping will
include the structures and open ditch conveyances
adjacent to the eastern side of the railroad. Runoff
calculations for the 10 -year design storm event will be
performed and used to verify drainage system sizing.
A brief, written drainage memorandum will summarize
the constraints and recommendations for the drainage
improvements necessary for the construction of the trail,
including addressing flood zones and the Orrs Creek
bridge crossing. The GHD team will use this drainage
study to guide the design to address drainage needs.
Deliverables:

Drainage memorandum report summarizing existing
drainage structures and their capacities where
currently known, estimated design runoff, and

deficiencies; recommendations for the design of the
drainage for the new trail facility will be included
Assumptions:
• No Record of Survey is required.
• All work will be within existing MCRA and City of
Ukiah R/W and no additional property boundaries
will be mapped except at roadway intersections.
• LID improvements are not required for the project.
Task 4. Geotechnical
investigation and report
Limited geotechnical investigation
Based on a review of available geotechnical and geologic
information, as well as past project geotechnical studies
nearby, GHD understands the bridge site over Orrs
Creek is underlain by Quaternary alluvium consisting of
soft to stiff clay and silt to 15 to 20 feet. The silt and clay
is likely underlain by medium dense sand and gravel. The
site is in a region of high sejsmicity.
The objective of the GHD team's geotechnical
investigation is to evaluate and understand the
geology and geotechnical engineering properties of
the site to provide geotechnical recommendations
for foundation design, pavement design, retaining
wall design, and earthwork. All work will be under the
responsible charge of a Chris Trumbull, our team's
licensed Geotechnical Engineer. Exploration will include
up to four (4) borings drilled to depths of 10 to 50
feet in the pathway alignment (one at the south end
of the trail segment, by Clara Avenue; one on either
end of the bridge; one at the north end of the trail
segment by Brush Street). Samples will be obtained
for lithology development and laboratory testing. The
borings will be drilled and backfilled with grout under
the guidelines of the Mendocino County Environmental
Health Department guidelines. GHD will facilitate
laboratory testing for strength, corrosion, index, and
pavement, as well as provide engineering analysis for
soil compressibility, expansion, liquefaction, earthwork,
foundations, retaining walls, and pavements. GHD
will then summarize findings and conclusions in a
design -level geotechnical investigation report, which
will include characteristics of the soil and groundwater
conditions, a plan showing boring locations, seismicity
and geology, liquefaction potential, expans'on potential,
corrosivity, and lab test data. The report will also include
recommendations for questionable soils (expansive,
compressible, liquefiable), earthwork, trenches,
foundation bearing and lateral capacit os, settlement,
CBC seismic design values, and flexible pavement
section thickness alternatives.
Assumptions:
• Access to the project site is provided to GHD for
geotechnical exploration; encroachment permits or
rights of entry are provided to GHD.
• Rail safety training or coordination is not required.
• Drill sites are accessible by a truck -mounted drill rig.
• Drill spoils may be left on site.
Task 5. Preliminary (30%) design
Our team is very familiar with the rail trail planning
documents as well as the Phase 1 and 2 project plans
and studies—after all, we helped prepare them. This
material will be reviewed, and discussed again at the
kick-off meeting to verify if anything has changed or if
new information is available. Once the new survey base
map has been completed, GHD will review the new
mapping to confirm that the preliminary design does
not conflict with any existing site features, including
railroad infrastructure, environmental constraints, R/W,
or mapped utilities.
GHD will collaborate with Alta to review the preliminary
plans included with the ATP grant application. GHD and
Alta will prepare a preliminary trail design to meet the
requirements of the local codes, the NCRA Rail -with -
Trail Guidelines, the License Agreement between the
City and NCRA, and the intended design and use of the
trail and surrounding lands. Once developed, the GHD
team will submit the preliminary plans with a cover letter
to the following entities for their review:
• City of Ukiah
• NCRA
• Utility companies
We will request that the City, the NCRA, and the utility
companies provide summarized, written comments on
the preliminary plans. An engineer's opinion of probable
construction cost will also be prepared and submitted.
Following completion of the Preliminary Design, GHD
wi'I review the CEQA Categorical Exemption (CatEx)
for the project in the context of the Preliminary Design.
The GHD team will also review the CEQA code sections
cited that were used to qualify the project as a CatEx.
Based on past experience with similar projects, we
have observed that the trail should have minimal
env ronmental impacts. Therefore, it is the GHD team's
assumption that the City's CatEx will be sufficient, and
therefore we are not aware of any additional CEQA work
that would be necessary. If additional CEQA efforts are
needed, however, they cannot be quantified at this time.
GHD I Northwestern Pacific Rail Trail Phase 3 (No. 18-44) 19
If determined to be necessary, we proposed to develop
a supplemental CEQA scope during Preliminary Design.
GHD's recent experience with similar projects involving
bridges over creeks indicates that the Orrs Creek
pedestrian bridge may require regulatory environmental
permits (CDFW Section 1602) depending on the specific
improvements needed to construct the bridge and
any associated fills required at or near the creek bank,
or within the riparian corridor, to elevate the bridge
deck above the FEMA flood elevation. This proposed
scope includes effort in an optional task to complete
and submit the Section 1602 Streambed Alteration
Agreement permit and associated documentation.
Evaluate Bio Retention Facilities
The GHD/Alta team will analyze the site conditions to
determine the sizing and location for green infrastructure
improvements. This will include delineation of the
drainage management areas based on the topographic
survey, particularly for impervious areas that are
supporting vehicle circulation and parking, as well the
infiltration potential based on soil testing. Using this
information and the required performance targets, the
team will identify recommended sizing and locations for
bioswales and rain gardens as part of the trail project.
The design of each green infrastructure facility will
ensure capture of overland stormwater flows into
the system, maintenance considerations for trash
and debris through a forebay design, the selection of
soils and plants to ensure infiltration and water quality
performance, and appropriate sizing of the stormwater
ponding area to manage runoff from a 1.0 -inch rain
event in a 24-hour period.
Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis
GHD will perform hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H)
calculations on Orrs Creek to determine creek flow and
potential for scour related to the new bridge foundation.
GHD will use the latest available information from FEMA
and will model Orrs Creek using the latest version
of HEC -RAS modeling software developed by Army
Corps of Engineers. The elevation of the bridge over
Orrs Creek will be set such the underside of the bridge
structure will be approximately 12 -inches above the
FEMA 100 Year flood elevation of 618 feet. The model
will also account for debris flow, and if requireed the
bridge will be set at an elevation greater than 12 -inches
above the flood elevation to account for the debris
flow. GHD will prepare a memorandum with supporting
calculations discussing the H&H model as well as the
Bio Retention Design.
10IGHD
Preliminaray Plans
The 30% concept level design plans will contain a
conceptual level trail alignment, furnishings, and bio
retention design.
• Bio retention facility design elements:
- Forebay and energy dissipation: Pre-
treatment area/green infrastructure sump that
allows sediment and debris to drop before the
stormwater enters the performance-based
infiltration areas. Consideration for ease of
maintenance is key here.
- Weir walls: For linear systems, the team will
locate weir walls to enhance areas for ponding.
- Low flow channel: Identify narrow path for
low flow channel and consider placement of
vegetation and smaller stones for this narrow
path through the larger rain garden.
- Overflow system: When stormwater flows
exceed the facility's design storm, there may be
overflow from the system back onto the site. The
design will consider how to minimize the impact
of those flows returning to the site by spreading
and properly directing any overflow.
- Inundation Zones: The rain gardens will have
full inundation and partial inundation zones that
will be defined by their depth and the plant
selections.
- Plant palette: Drought tolerant and native plant
will be identified for the full and partial 'nundation
zones
- Sioretention Soils: The soil mix placed in the
rain gardens will meet requirements and ensure
that water can infiltrate and plants can access
nutrients.
• Trail alignment, furnishings and pocket parks:
- Intersection designs at the intersections of Clara
Avenue and Ford Street
- Finalizing trail alignment and setbacks
- Design of trail cross sections throughout project
reach for each type of typical cross section
- Location and typical details for fencing
- Location and type of proposed bol-ards and
barriers
- Pocket park layout design, hardscape materials
selection, site furnishings (benches, drinking
fountains, waste receptacles, etc)
- Coordination with North Coast Opportun ties
(NCO) to integrate their planting plan into pocket
park layout and overall design
- Coordination of landscape and site elements
with trail lighting at intersections and along trail
corridor

Assumptions:
• There are no meetings associated with this task.
Task 6. Engineering design
(60%, 90%, and final)
Once comments have been received by the City, NCRA,
and utility companies for the 30% design submittal, the
GHD team will proceed with the development of the
60% design.
Depending on the timing of these comments, GHD may
request authorization to proceed with the 60% design
sooner in order to meet the City's deadline for design
completion.
The engineering design will take into account review
comments received on the 30% design, which will be
incorporated into the plans, technical specifications, and
an opinion of probable construction cost. Submittals
will be made to the City and NCRA for review at the
60% and 90% stages of completion. The final submittal
will be the stamped and signed final bid documents for
submission to DSA, NCRA, NWR CPUC and California
Natural Resources Agency for approval..
Engineering design will include:
• Trail alignment and setbacks
• Design of trail cross sections throughout the corridor
for each type of typical cross section
• Pavement section design
• Intersection designs at the intersections of Talmage
Road and Commerce Drive
• Location of trail amenities and amenity details to be
included in the project
• Trail lighting at intersections as needed to comply
with required safety lighting standards
• Grading and drainage
• Wayfinding and interpretive sign locations
• Location and typical details for fencing
• Location and type of proposed bollards and barriers
• Signing and striping
• Landscaping design
Construction plans
The project will be designed using English Standard
units in AutoCAD Civil 3D at a scale of 1 inch = 20 feet
depicting the preferred alignment. Electronic copies of
the graphic files will be provided in PDF and/or AutoCAD
format using GHD's AutoCAD standards, including
project folder structures, layer names, line styles and
font resources, color tables, etc.
GHD will develop the Construction Plans 22" x 34"
sheets that allow 50% scaled reduction to 11 " x
17" sheets. Design plans will include the title sheet,
sheet index, notes/symbols and abbreviations, typical
cross sections, civil site plan and profiles, demolition,
site and grading plans for each intersection design,
civil and typical details, lighting, signing and striping,
landscaping, erosion control, and other sheets and
details as necessary for a constructible project and to
convey the design intent. All final plans will be stamped
and signed by a California Licensed Professional Civil
Engineer. Construction plans will be submitted to the
City for review at the 60% and 90% stages. Review
comments received will be addressed in the 90% and
Final submittals.
Specifications
GHD will prepare technical specifications using the City';;
standard format for technical specifications (Sections 12
and 13 of the City boilerplate construction contract). The
technical specifications will be developed and submitted
to the City for review at the 60% and 90% stages.
Review comments received will be addressed in the
90% and final 100% submittals.
Engineers Opinion of Probable Construction Cost:
GHD will prepare the Engineer's Opinion of Probable
Construction Costs using standard engineering estimate
procedures for each design submittal (30%, 60%, 90%,
and Final), Actual construction costs may vary due to
availability of labor, equipment, materials, or market
conditions. Applicable review comments received will
be addressed in the 90% and final 100% submittals.
An appropriate contingency and qualifications will be
included with each estimate.
Permitting and agency coordination
The project is a state funded project through the
Urban Greening Grant and will require Division of State
Architects' (DSA) approval for accessibility along the
trail corridor. GHD will coordinate and submit plans
to RSA, as well as address any review comments.
In addition to DSA, plan approval will be required by
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and and
the North Coast Railroad Association (NCRA). We will
GHD I Northwestern Pacific Rail Trail Phase 3 (No. 18-04) 11 i
submit and coordinate plan review and approval with
these agencies. If a SWPPP is required, we can develop
the SWPPP (optional task) utilizing the California State
Water Resources Board SMARTS (Stormwater Multiple
Application and Report Tracking System) web based
interface. We have completed several recent projects on
this web based interface for the City.
Deliverables:
60% Submittal will include five (5) hard copies
of 11" x 17" plans, specifications, and opinion
of probable construction costs, submitted with
electronic PDF files
90% Submittal will include five (5) hard copies
of 11" x 17" plans, specifications, and opinion
of probable construction costs, submitted with
electronic PDF files
100% Submittal will include the final plans,
specifications, and opinion of probable construction
costs ready for bidding purposes, submitted as
PDF electronic files, AutoCAD electronic files of the
plans, one (1) set of stamped and wet -signed 22" x
34" reproducible mylar plans, one (1) copy -ready set
of specifications, 10 copies of 22" x 34" plans on
bond, 10 copies of 11 " x 17" plans on bond, and 10
copies of bound specifications
Assumptions:
• The City will provide an electronic copy (MS
Word format) of their current front end contract
requirements, technical specifications, ar,d bid
forms.
• The project is anticipated to d sturb less than 1
acre, therefore a SWPPP is not needed. An optional
task for SWPPP preparation is included should the
disturbed area necessitate SWPPP compliance.
• The City will provide content and theme for
interpretive signs; Alta will provide artwork.
• Landscaping will be minor and limited to areas near
street crossings, based on the available budget.
Related =rr`gation will be I mited to drip irrigation, if
necessary, at those locations.
• The lighting design assumes that the IPL Series
manufactured by Firstlight Technologies w it be
used. This lighting standard s the same standard
installed with the Phase 1 project. They are a
solar -powered LED integrated arch tectural area
light. Design will be provided to meet regulatory
requirements. This scope of services assumes no
electrical service is required.
The trail design will conform to the fo lowing des gn
standards where applicable:

Task 7. California department
of fish and wildlife permit
application (optional)
GHD will prepare a CDFW Section 1602 Lake and
Streambed Alteration Agreement application for
the proposed Doolin Creek bridge crossing. The
application package will include a clear project and
impact description and appropriate figures indicating
the site location and work to be performed. A biological
resources evaluation will be a required component of
the application. A GHD biologist will visit the site and
prepare a basic biological resource study, identifying the
habitat at the creek crossing as well as potential species
that could occur at both the bridge crossing and within
100 feet of the footprint of the bridge. The work will be
focused to the creek crossing, as that will be the subject
of the 1602 application.
The study also will provide a recommendation as to
replacement plantings for any riparian trees that would
be removed. This scope of work accommodates one (1)
site visit with CDFW.
However, the level of effort for additional follow-up
work after subm'ttal of the application is difficult to
predict. This scope of work assumes nor more than
20 hours of effort after submittal. In addition, it is not
yet clear the extent of mitigation that may be required
or if a mitigation monitoring plan would be necessary.
Therefore a mitigation plan is not included in this scope
of work. If the City requires assistance with follow-
up information requests from the resource agencies,
after submittal of the applications, or with a mitigation
monitoring plan, an amendment to this scope of work
can be provided.
Deliverables:
• CDFW permit application
Assumptions:
The City will pay the permit application fee.
No more than 20 hours of follow-up inquiries
would be required once the application package is
submitted to CDFW.
• No Mitigation and Monitoring Plan will be required,
other than replacement of trees that are removed.
No jurisdictional waters would be impacted and
no impacts would occur below the ordinary high
water mark of Doolin Creek. Therefore, a permit with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would not be
required and a Regional Water Quality Control Board
Section 401 would not be required.
The entire length of the trail alignment is not subject
to jurisdiction by CDFW and therefore does not
need to be included in the biological resource study.
The City has completed the CEQA process, paid
the required filing fees, and has documentation to
this effect.
Task 8. Project stormwater
pollution prevention plan
(SWPPP) (optional)
The GHD team (featuring three State of California
Qualified SWPPP Developers) will prepare a site-specific
risk assessment to determine risk level for the SWPPP.
The risk level is a function of the erosive potential of
the soil and receiving water body risk during periods
of soil exposure. Risk level 2 will require sampling of
stormwater for pH and sediment, and significantly more
effort than a Risk level 1 site. Risk level 3 sites may
require bioassesment studies of the receiving water
body, and active stormwater treatment systems. It is
assumed the project will be a Risk level 2.
GHD will prepare the SWPPP document assuming the
project is Risk level 2. The SWPPP will nclude site maps
and water pollution control drawings, a Construction
Site Visual Monitoring Program, a Sampling and
Analysis Plan for non- visible pollutants, a Sampling and
Analysis Plan for pH and sediment, a Construction Site
Non Visible Pollutant Sampling Program. selection of
appropriate BMPs. for Erosion and Sediment Control and
for Construction Site Management, and preparation of a
partial water pollution control schedule (WPCS).
Other required documentation will be provided partially
complete, such as the Rain Event Action Plan (REAP),
site inspection forms, and contractor or material
suppliers notification forms. i his documentation would
be finalized following project hid. The project SWPPF
will include certifications for GHD's SWPPP Developer,
GHD will provide Notice of Intent (NOI) information
suitable to initiate the waste discharge permit process
using the State's Stormwater Multiple Application and
Report Tracking System (SMARTS). GHD will also
provide assistance during the initial use of the SMARTS
system via phone or email.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC RAIL TRAIL PHASE 3
AUGUST 1, 2018
GENERAL INFORMATION/PROJECT LOCATION
The City of Ukiah has a population of 16,075 people and is located approximately 115 miles north of San
Francisco, CA on the US Highway 101 corridor. Ukiah is also the retail, government, and medical service
hub to an area reaching a 50 -mile radius and experiences a daytime service population exceeding 35,000
people. The Northwestern Pacific (NWP) rail corridor runs north -south through the eastern area of the City
of Ukiah, approximately two city blocks west of US Highway 101.
The proposed Northwestern Pacific (NWP) Rail Trail Phase 3 begins at Clara Avenue and ends at Brush
Street, with a total length of approximately % mile. This project connects to the north end of the existing
Phase 1 trail at Clara Avenue. (see location map, Attachment "A'). Note that improvement plans are
separately being completed for Phase 2, which is the trail extension south of Phase 1, and is not a part of
this scope of work.
The Rail Trail is intended to serve as a multi -use trail for bicyclists and pedestrians (providing ADA
accessibility), and will consist of a ten -foot wide paved path with 2 -foot wide graded shoulders on each side
of the pavement in accordance with Caltrans Standards for a Class I Bikeway. The project is to include
security lighting and a barrier fence between the trail and the railroad tracks, meeting the requirements of
the North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA). Street crossings will be required at Clara Avenue and Ford
Street. An estimated 70 -foot span steel bridge will be required over Orr Creek. Two bio -retention areas
shall be designed to collect and treat run-off from nearby pavement adjacent to the trail, and incorporated
into mini "pocket parks." The trail will generally be located as close to the edge of the NCRA right-of-way as
possible while allowing for a drainage swale. A Notice of CEQA Exemption, categorical exemption Section
15304 Class 4 (see Attachment "B"), was prepared for the project in May 2016. Conceptual plans for the
NWP Rail Trail Phase 3 are included (see Attachment "C"). Improvement plans for the Phase 1 and Phase
2 projects may be viewed upon request.
The City of Ukiah is requesting proposals from qualified firms for completing the design of the NWP Rail
Trail Phase 3. Inspection and construction contract administration are not part of this request for proposal.
The NWP Rail Trail Phase 3 project will be State funded by an Urban Greening Program grant administered
through the California Natural Resources Agency. Consultants and Sub -consultants are responsible for
complying with State and specific contract requirements, and are subject to financial review and audit.
There are no DBE goals for this project, however, DBE participation is encouraged. Landscaping and
landscape design for the project will be provided through volunteer efforts as outlined in the grant
application and agreement, coordinated through North Coast Opportunities (NCO).
