further development of the NWP Rail Trail project, a 25-
year agreement that is critical to the overall success of this
four-phase endeavor.
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 4.
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 these requirements and identifies
this Phase 4 project segment as Segment No. S8 and S9.
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 have
completed these documents for previous projects,
including, as previously mentioned, the Phase 1, 2 and
3 portions of the Great Redwood Trail (NWP Rail Trail
project).
→2. Project Approach
and Schedule
The Great Redwood Trail
Background (formerly Northwestern
Pacific Rail Trail)
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 first appeared in
the City’s 1999 Bicycle Master Plan, completed by GHD's
teaming partner Alta Planning + Design (Alta).
The planning for the overall NWP Rail Trail Project was
further advanced in the 2002 Rail Trail Feasibility Study,
completed by Alta. The project was ranked as the highest
priority in the Bicycle Master Plan in the 2006 Mendocino
County Regional Bikeway Plan.
The NWP Rail Trail project has experienced broad
community support and the support of NCRA. 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
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 R/W in Mendocino County. The project involved
surveying and mapping, preparation of the Trail Corridor
Management Plan, Safety Plan, and Trail Policy. Services
provided by the GHD/Alta included a public workshop
and engineering design. Construction of Phase 1 was
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 both Phases 2 and 3 of the
trail. Construction commenced in the winter of 2019.
GHD 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 with the development of
a License Agreement between the City and NCRA for the
ATTACHMENT A
Figure 2: Aerial of ADA ramp
GHD City of Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Phase 4 8
The Great Redwood Trail Assessment outlines plans for the
corridor to be railbanked between Cloverdale and Samoa.
With the passing of State Bill 69 (2021), NCRA has begun
the preliminary steps to repurpose the valuable rail line
as a recreation and active transportation corridor that will
generate economic benefits for dozens of communities.
Railbanking allows railroad owners to preserve established
rail lines by transferring them, through sale, donation, or
lease, to a qualified public or private entity to manage the
ROW as an interim trail. This entity becomes legally and
financially responsible for managing the rail corridor ROW.
The corridor can be used as a trail until the need for rail
service resumes, at which point the ROW can be converted
to, or shared with, the active rail.
Phase 4 Project Understanding
In May 2021 the City received an Urban Greening
Grant from the state administered by California Natural
Resources Agency to complete the Phase 4 segment
of the Great Redwood Trail. The Urban Greening Grant
supports projects that reduce Green House Gases (GHG),
by enhancing, expanding and creating neighborhood
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 the summer of 2021, the City is expected to complete
and file environmental documentation through a CEQA
Notice of Exemption under Section 15304 (Class 4,
construction of a bicycle/multi-use trail within an existing
right-of-way).
The Phase 4 trail is approximately 1.9 miles long, which
include three new roadway crossings (Airport Road,
Norgard Lane and Plant Road), as well as two existing rail
bridge enhancements to support the new trail. At this
time it is not clear who will be removing the existing rail
and wood ties, but once the existing rail and rail ties are
removed, the trail will be placed on the existing ballast
after minor repairs, localized widening and grading have
been completed. The trail alignment will match the existing
centerline of the existing rail. 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 March 2022 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
2022. Achieving this schedule is contingent on overcoming
key project issues, which are also described below, under
“Approach."
Developed over the past 15 years, the GHD/Alta team has
a very deep understanding of this project. As a result, we
are able to leverage our experience from Phases 1, 2 and 3,
as well as other similar rail-with-trail projects (described in
Sections 3 and 6 of this proposal) to successfully meet the
ambitious schedule and deliver all project components to
the satisfaction of the City.
Over the past five years, the GHD/Alta team has also
worked directly with NCRA and NWPR/W staff on the
development of numerous rail-with-trail projects in
Northern California. Our trail designs have become the
centerpiece of communities. As trails gain popularity, we
recognize the potential for under-utilized land to increase
in value, creating the potential for trail-front businesses.
In addition to our combined experience, Alta is also
recognized as a nationwide leader in the development
of trail projects within railroad rights-of-way. Alta
has 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 4 Approach
In preparing for our proposal, we met with City staff
multiple times to discuss specific details and potential
challenges regarding Phase 4 of the project. We walked the
site, photo-documented, and conducted a drone fly over
to obtain video and aerial photos of the Phase 4 alignment.
See figure 3.
We obtained and reviewed all background documentation,
including NCRA R/W mapping and applicable policies,
goals, and objectives outlined in the 2015 Ukiah Bicycle
and Pedestrian Master Plan (prepared by Alta).
Through our historic understanding of the project and our
recent investigative efforts, we have identified some key
challenges within Phase 4. 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, one of which is under construction. We have an
established relationship with City staff, as well as with the
City’s Project Manager on this project (Andrew Stricklin),
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. 21-02).
The GHD/Alta team is ready to start immediately in order
to meet this ambitious schedule. The critical path is to
complete the topographic survey and the right-of-way and
geotechnical analyses.
GHD previously completed a portion of the base mapping
at Commerce Drive, where the Phase 3 trail begins. This
will allow us to build upon the existing base map and
interconnect the base maps from previous projects. We
propose to conduct a focused topographic survey along
the existing rail extending out to the R/W to capture the
existing ballast, drainage patterns, trees, road crossing,
and railroad equipment. In order to quickly complete the
survey, we will use a combination of aerial drone equipment
with limited manual survey at specifically and strategically
chosen locations, such as at the existing bridges,
culvert crossings, and road crossings. The survey will be
completed by GHD’s in-house resources. This survey
approach will minimize costs and allow us to quickly focus
on the Preliminary (30%) Design.
Preliminary (30%) Design
Key goals of the Preliminary Design are to verify that the
existing rail and rail ballast prism have adequate width
and identify where the ballast may need to be widened
to accommodate the Class I multi-use trail. The goal is to
minimize the amount of ballast widening and impacts to the
existing storm drainage swales, potential sensitive habitat
and culvert crossings.
In addition, the new trees, native grasses, and native
shrubs that are selected and planted by the North Coast
Opportunities, will be incorporated by the GHD team in
the preliminary design considering the plants functions,
i.e., provide shade for the Family gathering area, existing
storm water features, wetland enhancement, or simply
decoration. GHD in conjunction with Alta will develop a
preliminary plan for the outdoor family gathering space and
its amenities, along with other site furnishings along the trail
corridor.
The preliminary engineering or 30% design drawings will be
utilized to begin conversations with CPUC and the systems
needed for the road crossings. The site or street lighting
for the Phase 4 trail will not contain trail lighting, but rather
lighting only at the roadway crossing for public safety. The
intent of the “No” trail lighting is to promote dark sky’s and
limit light pollution in the surrounding area.
Right-of-Way Impacts
Based on the current concept trail alignment, no R/W or
easement acquisitions are needed. The concept drawings
included in the City’s RFP (21-02) show the trail alignment
extending from Commerce Drive south to approximately
340 feet south of Taylor Drive on the existing rail ballast.
From our field review the only railroad equipment is at
Commerce Drive, being a control cabinet, and at Norgard
Lane being warning flashers. GHD measurements indicate
there is adequate space between all these features to
install the new trail and not affect the existing railroad
equipment, utilities, or existing R/W.
Figure 3: Aerial image of existing rail corridor
GHD City of Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Phase 4 9
Proposed Alignment
The proposed alignment or concept for this phase of Trail
is to follow the existing centerline of the existing rail as
feasible. The trail maybe offset from the existing centerline
to avoid widening any areas beyond the existing ballast
slope. The goal is to avoid importing fill material, reduce
or eliminate temporary and/or permanent impacts to
wetlands along the corridor. See figure 4.
Placing the trail on the existing ballast will minimize
impacts to the environment and and prevent disturbance
of drainage patterns. The trail will be sloped to allow
stormwater runoff to drain toward the existing stormwater
features and infrastructure that currently runs parallel
along the corridor. The City of Ukiah adheres to the City
of Santa Rosa Storm Water Low Impact Development
Technical Design Manual for storm water quality and
quantity improvements related to new projects. This
project is exempt from providing storm water low impact
improvements. We will include storm water features where
feasible.
There are three existing short bridge crossings that
need to be modified to support the construction of
the trail. Provided the foundations and major structural
components are adequate to support the loads from the
new trail, GHD will explore possible modification to the
existing bridges in an attempt to keep the major structural
components as they are indicative of traditional rail
construction. GHD’s preliminary review and modifications
include keeping the existing foundations and beams, while
removing the existing cross beams and installing a new
concrete deck with curbing and guardrails on both sides.
See figure 5.
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 greater than two acres, resulting in the
need to develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and the rest of the NPDES stormwater regulatory
requirements.
Permitting
GHD will assist the city and the contractor, in obtaining
and securing a right-of-way encroachment permit for the
removal of the existing rail and construction of the trail
crossing the public streets. An encroachment permit will
be needed from Caltrans (where the trail crosses under
the Redwood Hwy 101) and county roads at Norgard Lane
and Plant Road. The city will process the encroachment for
Airport Road internally. GHD will also coordinate with NCRA
and their engineering representative in obtaining approval
for this project and obtaining an encroachment.
Existing Bridges
GHD is assuming that the existing foundations and wooden
beams will be reusable. This will be verified during the
Preliminary (30%) Design. For preliminary design purposes,
GHD will remove the existing rails and wood-cross ties and
install and new concrete deck with handrails to support
the new trail. If the wooden beams are inadequate, GHD
will work with the city on a more efficient design to replace
them.
Recycled Water
GHD will investigate the location of the existing reclaimed
water system during the Preliminary (30%) Design. GHD will
recommend tie-in locations to provide irrigation for the
Phase 4 trail planting areas.

GHD's Code of Conduct and
Core Values
GHD’s Code of Conduct establishes our behavior
expectations and conduct requirements. We promote
ethical business and personal behavior consistent with
our core values of Safety, Teamwork, Respect and
Integrity. This coincides with City of Ukiah’s core values
of Professionalism, Service, Teamwork, Innovation and
Safety. We believe that the success of our projects with
the City directly correlates. See figure 6.
Phase 4 Scope of Work
The proposed scope of work to complete the planning
and design of Phase 4 of the Great Redwood Trail project
is described in the following tasks. 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 GHD, Alta Planning + Design, and Crawford staff.
This task includes the efforts required for GHD’s Project
Manager, with administrative 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 review
meetings.
GHD will organize and facilitate a kick-off meeting with the
City, Alta, and other key members of the project team. The
purpose of the kickoff meeting will be to:
−Discuss the project goals
−Discuss and refine the project’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 Application and agreement
−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
Deliverables:
−No specific deliverables for this task; the results of this
task will be reflected in other deliverables, below.
Figure 6: GHD's Core Values
GHD City of Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Phase 4 11
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 Easement 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, Mendocino County
R/W and Caltrans R/W with the goal of designing the trail
corridor improvements to be within either the railroad
R/W or the City/County R/W. GHD is in receipt of the
NCRA R/W mapping for the Phase 4 corridor, and has
previously completed partial mapping of the R/W between
Commerce Drive 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 vertical 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 to serve as project control during construction, or
subsequent survey activities—will exhibit these survey
control points. 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. GHD will ensure that all surveying and mapping is in
compliance with City 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 LiDAR Topographic Mapping
The GHD team proposes mobile LiDAR topographic
mapping that would cover the project site and immediate
surrounding area.
GHD will set control using Global Positioning System
(GPS) methods. GHD will map the project limits using
a drone flyover with mounted mobile LiDAR system. A
scalable point cloud of the project will be provided and
georeferenced to the project datum. The LiDAR 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 surveys. 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 Field 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)
−Surface evidence of the storm drain system (ditches,
culverts, catch basins, drop inlets with flow line
elevations)
−Surface evidence of utilities
−Power poles, rail equipment, guy wires, and overhead
lines
−Fencing and gates
−Streetlights, signs, striping, pavement legends, and
markings
−Mailboxes, driveway, and ramps
−Tree trunk locations and diameter
GHD City of Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Phase 4 12
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
identifying 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.
Deliverables:
−Survey Control Base Map and Topographic Map in 2016
AutoCAD Civil 3D file format point files and the surface
model (DTM)
Assumptions:
−No Record of Survey is required.
−All work will be within existing NCRA and City of Ukiah
R/W and no additional property boundaries will be
mapped except at roadway intersections.
Task 4. Geotechnical investigation and
report
Limited Geotechnical Investigation
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
south of Commerce Dr, one north of the Airport Road
crossing, one by Norgard Lane, one south of Plant Road).
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, expansion potential, corrosivity, and
lab test data. The report will also include recommendations
for questionable soils (expansive, compressible,
liquefiable), earthwork, trenches, foundation bearing and
lateral capacities, settlement, CBC seismic design values,
and flexible pavement section thickness alternatives.
Deliverables:
−Draft and Final Geotechnical Investigation Report
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
GHD will collaborate with Alta to review the preliminary
plans included with the Urban Greening Grant application.
GHD and Alta will prepare a preliminary trail design to meet
the requirements of the local codes, AASHTO Guide for
the Planning, Design and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities,
Caltrans Highway Design Manual Chapter 1000 – Bicycle
Transportation Design, FHWA, MUTCD-CA, 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
−CPUC
We will request that the City, the NCRA, California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC), 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 will
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
GHD City of Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Phase 4 13
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 environmental 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. If determined to be necessary,
we proposed to develop a supplemental CEQA scope
during Preliminary Design.
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 three unnamed creek
crossings at existing bridges. The GHD team will use this
drainage study to guide the design to address drainage
needs.
Preliminary Plans
The 30% concept level design plans will contain a
conceptual level trail alignment, furnishings, and outdoor
family gathering area.
Trail alignment, irrigation, furnishings and family gathering
area:
−Intersection designs at the intersections of Commerce
Dr, Airport Road, Norgard Lane and Plant Road
−Finalizing trail alignment
−Develop typical trail cross sections throughout project
reach for each type of section
−Location and type of proposed bollards and barriers
−Family gathering area layout design, hardscape
materials selection, site furnishings (benches, drinking
fountains, waste receptacles, etc)
−Coordination with North Coast Opportunities (NCO) to
integrate their plant selection into the overall design
−Coordination of landscape and site elements with trail
lighting at intersections
−Irrigation connection to the existing reclaimed water
system. Determine feasibility and complexing of system
extension and serviceability.
−Identify locations for rainwater capture and use for
irrigation.
−Wayfinding and interpretive sign locations (content not
to be developed in this plan set)
Deliverables:
−Preliminary Plans
−Preliminary Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
−Preliminary Drainage Study
Assumptions:
−There are no meetings associated with this task.
−LID improvements are not required for the project.
Task 6. Engineering Design (60%, 90%,
and final)
Once comments have been received by the City, NCRA,
CPUC, 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 consider 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 NCRA, CPUC
and California Natural Resources Agency for approval.
Engineering design will include:
−Trail alignment
−Design of trail cross sections throughout the corridor
for each type of typical cross section
−Pavement section design
−Intersection designs at the intersections of Commerce
Dr, Airport Road, Norgard Lane and Plant Road
−Location of trail amenities and amenity details to be
included in the project
GHD City of Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Phase 4 14
−Trail lighting at roadway intersections to comply with
required safety lighting standards
−Grading and drainage
−Wayfinding and interpretive sign locations
−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’s
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 California
Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) Urban Greening Grant
Program and will require final review and approval from
CNRA. GHD will coordinate with the city and provide
plans for submittal to CNRA, as well as address any review
comments. In addition to CNRA, plan approval will be
required by CPUC and the NCRA. We will 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, and bid forms.
−The project is anticipated to disturb more than 1 acre,
therefore a SWPPP is needed. An optional task for
SWPPP preparation is included.
−Landscaping will be minor and limited to areas near
street crossings, based on the available budget. Related
irrigation will be limited to drip irrigation, if necessary, at
those locations.
−No trail lighting is included, only lighting at the road
crossings will be provided.
−The trail design will conform to the following design
standards where applicable:
GHD City of Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Phase 4 15
•FHWA/FRA “Best Practices” for Planning and
Designing Rails-with-Trails
•AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle
Facilities
•California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
•Caltrans Chapter 1000: Planning and Designing
Bicycle Facilities
•American with Disabilities Act
Task 7. Supporting Biological Resources
Surveys and Studies
Desktop Review of Available Biological Information
Prior to on-site surveys, GHD will review biological
resource databases including the California Department
of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) California Natural Diversity
Database (CNDDB), the California Native Plant Society
(CNPS) Rare Plant Inventory, and species lists provided by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Pre-project scoping will
include generation of a table showing each special status
species’ potential to occur in the project area and inform
the optimal time period(s) for biological field surveys.
Deliverables (all electronic PDFs):
−PDF table indicating potential for presence of sensitive
biological resources within the project area
Sensitive Natural Community Mapping, and
Habitat Assessment
Vegetation communities within the project area will also be
documented in the field and classified at the alliance level
according to the Manual of California Vegetation using
the Rapid Assessment method. Rare plants and Sensitive
Natural Communities will be mapped using GPS and aerial
imagery. Potential habitat that may support sensitive
wildlife species will also be evaluated at this time, based
on an analysis of on-site habitats, known home ranges
and/or distribution of target species, and other biological
characteristics. Presence of these resources will be
summarized in the project’s Biological Resources Report,
as described below along with supporting data forms, site
photos, and a map.
Biological Resources Report
The Biological Resources Report (BRR) will summarize
the potential for special status plants and wildlife, aquatic
resources, and Sensitive Natural Communities to occur
within the project area. The BRR will compile: data found
during database surveys described above as well as any
available maps, databases, literature specific to local
ecology, and any additional information from the client
pertaining to the site shall be reviewed. The BRR will
also summarize the results of the rare plants surveys,
Sensitive Natural Community mapping and wildlife habitat
assessment. Recommendations for further actions or
mitigation measures to protect biological resources during
project implementation will conclude the report. The
report will support the project’s CEQA documentation and
anticipated permits.
Deliverables (all electronic PDFs):
−Draft and Final BRR (including maps of sensitive
biological resources detected during surveys)
Aquatic Resources Delineation (Optional)
During a preliminary site visit, several swales and drainages
were noted along the rail corridor which could potentially
be jurisdictional features. Therefore, GHD recommends
preparing an aquatic resources delineation to support
the design engineers so they can avoid these features to
the extend feasible. In addition, the City would need the
aquatic resources delineation to support any resource
agency applications that we understand will be prepared
by the City. Therefore, we have included this as an optional
task for the City’s consideration.
GHD will conduct a delineation of potential wetlands and
waters of the United States and/or State in accordance
with the USACE 1987 manual, the Western Mountains,
Valleys, and Coast Region Supplement, the 2020 Navigable
Waters Protection Rule and the State Wetland Definition
and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material
to Waters of the State adopted by the State Water
Resources Control Board on April 2, 2019. Field work for the
delineation will be conducted on the same day as the initial
habitat assessment described below.
A separate delineation report will be prepared that
describes the findings of the delineation and can be
submitted to USACE and RWQCB for their jurisdictional
determination. The report will include a delineation map,
data sheets, and supplemental information to support the
delineation analysis. The delineation will include all the
information required by USACE and Water Board to make
a formal jurisdictional determination. As part of the report,
the following information is required: a locality map; USGS
quad sheet or copy with the project boundary outlined;
and a delineation map on an aerial or topographic base.
GHD will prepare the figures to support the delineation
report.
Deliverables (all electronic PDFs):
−Draft and Final Aquatic Resources Delineation
GHD City of Ukiah Great Redwood Trail Phase 4 16
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 bioassessment 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 include 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. This documentation would be finalized
following project bid. The project SWPPP 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.
Deliverables:
− SWPPP document in electronic PDF format
