Orr Street Bridge and Transportation Corridor Study and Plan 28 GHD City of Ukiah
Detailed Scope of Work
The following scope of work is based upon the Scope
of Work Requirements outlined in the Re-quest for
Proposals (RFP) and GHD’s understanding of the project,
grant requirements, and our previous and current
experience in delivering similar projects. The planned
deliverables for this Corridor Study scope of work will
perform the necessary site surveys/planning, public
outreach, and prepare pre-construction documents
for the bridge and roadway portions of the project and
outline next steps in the environmental and design phases
of the project (including future funding needs).
We have developed the following scope of services
with the safety of our people, clients, and communities
in mind. The GHD team will leverage our systems and
technology platforms, draw on our diverse network of
professionals and partners to continue to support the
City and enable project delivery to progress unhindered.
Should restrictions lift and in-person meetings become
a safe choice for all involved, we will modify our scope of
services and associated fee to accommodate the change.
Task 1 - Project Management, Quality Control,
and Meetings
GHD's project manager will serve as the primary point
of contact to the City and other project partners.
Coordination and communication will play a vital role in
the successful completion of the project on schedule and
within budget.
1.1 Project Management and Quality Control
GHD will serve as the overall Project Manager during
the entire duration of the project. Project management
responsibilities under this phase includes:
− Oversee the delivery of the components listed in the
contract and this scope of work
− Maintain an up-to-date master project schedule
− Manage the project budget
− Manage subconsultants
− Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) for
project deliverables
− Coordinate with project stakeholders
− Coordinate project status meetings
− Prepare and submit monthly invoices and progress
reports
GHD will conduct a quality assurance review of all
documents (reports, plans, correspondence) produced
ATTACHMENT A
internally or from subconsultants prior to submittal to the
City. All internal reviews/comments will be documented in
compliance with ISO 9000 requirements. The City can be
provided a copy upon request.
Task 1.1 Deliverables:
− Project management and QC of all project
deliverables
− Regularly updated project schedule (monthly or as
requested)
− Records management tracking and monthly
invoicing/status updates
1.2 Kick-Off Meeting
At the outset of the project, the GHD team will meet with
City staff to review the scope of work, establish the core
project team, review the schedule and grant reporting
requirements, and establish lines of communications with
City staff.
During this task, GHD will also present the City with our
analysis and review the bridge plans prepared by the
City’s prior consultant and discuss the opportunities and
limitations presented to the current project based on that
documentation.
Task 1.1 Deliverables:
− Meeting agenda and minutes
− Action item tracking table
1.3 Project Delivery Team (PDT) Project Progress Meetings
Under this task, GHD will conduct Project Development
Team (PDT) meetings. GHD will provide meeting
coordination and oversight and will prepare agendas
and meeting minutes highlighting decisions made and
action items. GHD has budgeted for six (6) PDT meetings.
Appropriate subconsultants will attend meetings as
requested.
The meetings are anticipated to include two (2) staff
concept review and working sessions and two (2)
comment review meetings after receiving City comments
on the preliminary and draft corridor study submittals.
The remaining four (4) meetings will be to address the
project’s progress, action item tracking list, and discuss
potential project opportunities and challenges as they
arise.
Prior to each meeting, GHD will prepare and provide the
City PM a copy of the meeting agenda for review and
comment.
Following each meeting, GHD will prepare a meeting
record documenting the discussions held during the
Orr Street Bridge and Transportation Corridor Study and Plan 29 GHD City of Ukiah
meeting including action items and agreements. A draft
copy of the record will be provided to the City PM for
review and comment within five (5) working days following
each meeting.
Task 1.3 Deliverables:
− Meeting agenda and record notes
− Updated action item tracking table
1.4 Public / Community Meetings and Presentations to
City Council
We understand that every project and community is
unique, and the community outreach strategy is subject
to the context of the surrounding environment; tasks
included below are an assumption of the City’s needs and
will be revisited upon contract initiation. GHD will assist
the City in planning and hosting up to two (2) community
meetings that will coincide with work efforts focused on
preliminary designs.
We recognize current COVID related restrictions and
protocols may prohibit traditional in-person community
meetings, GHD will work with the City to formulate the
best approach for this project. The first meeting could
be held at the project site, which would be open to the
general public, but promote/focusing on the adjacent
property owner’s thoughts and concerns with any
improvements on Orr Street and the Orrs Creek Bridge.
Their direct feedback early on in the process will help
the delivery team narrow the concepts and ideas to
these constraints and mitigate significant plan/alignment
changes at the end of the study.
The second meeting is suggested to be a formal
presentation to Council providing a status up-date and
present the draft corridor study alternatives for public
comments and review.
At the conclusion of the study, Council may ask for a
follow-up presentation if the alternatives have been
modified significantly from the draft submittal. GHD will
make ourselves available if this need arises as the third
public meeting.
At a minimum, public meeting topics are expected to
address:
− Overview of the Project
− Roadway cross sections
− Potential right of way impacts
− Potential utility impacts
− Emergency service accommodations
− Interim and future/final solutions to the project goals
− Accommodations of recent improvements/
developments in the area
− Impacts to the community at-large
GHD will develop a comprehensive notification plan for
each outreach opportunity, which will outline specific
notification methods including, but not limited to email
notifications, local news-paper advertisements, social
media, direct mailers, and media relations. It is assumed
the City will distribute the materials to the public via
direct mail, public postings, or other means at their
disposal.
If requested by the City, GHD can develop content to
be posted to a project specific webpage on the City’s
website and/or social media accounts.
Task 1.4 Assumptions:
− City will facilitate the meeting date and secure the
meeting location (if not virtual)
− City will distribute and/or post meeting notifications
provided by the Consultant Team

(if used). Consultant will supply City with materials
and updates to be uploaded.
Task 1.4 Deliverables:
− Public Meeting notifications and marketing materials
and sign-in sheet
− Presentation materials (printed boards, power point
slideshow, etc.)
− Public Meeting summary of key notes/comments and
observations made during the meeting
1.5 Stakeholder Coordination
GHD will provide coordination with adjacent property
owners (Wagenseller Neighborhood), stakeholders,
and up to two (2) community groups. Key stakeholders
that GHD will engage with are, but not limited to, the
emergency responders, including Ukiah Valley Fire
District (UVFD) and Ukiah Police Department; and (as
deemed appropriate) Ukiah Unified School District
representatives, Parks and Recreation, Community
Development, and the Business Community (Chamber of
Commerce).
It is assumed that no more than two virtual meetings will
be held with small stakeholder groups and/or individuals.
The meetings will be hosted on one of GHD’s virtual
meeting platforms, Microsoft Teams. GHD will host the
Orr Street Bridge and Transportation Corridor Study and Plan 30 GHD City of Ukiah

Task 2 – Data Review - Preliminary Engineering
2.1 Data Review
The GHD team, including applicable subconsultants
will review available data, including previous studies,
draft designs, traffic data, and other info provided by
the City. Key information to review will be the available
geotechnical, topographic survey, right of way mapping,
traffic, and structural analysis.
GHD will discuss the findings and provide
recommendations for updated studies or supplemental
testing at the conclusion of this process during the
project kick-off meeting (or other progress meeting as
appropriate). This will be done in a memorandum format.
Task 2.1 Assumptions:
− City will provide GHD and the Design Team all
available documentation as a part of the prior designs
for the corridor in usable (digital format).
− Scope and budget will be reviewed and updated if
deficiencies are identified in the prior investigations/
reporting (i.e. traffic operations, additional soil
sampling for water quality improvements).
Task 2.1 Deliverables:
− Summary Memoranda of the analysis and
conclusions of the prior studies/information review
2.2 Topographic Surveying & Base Mapping
Cinquini & Passarino will prepare the base topographic
surveys necessary to facilitate the evaluation of the Orr
Street Bridge project. All topographic mapping will be
at a drawing scale of 1 inch = 20 feet, unless otherwise
requested, with a one-foot contour interval. The
topographic survey will include the following:
− Topographic survey coverage area will include Orr
Street beginning at Ford Street then northerly to
intersection with Brush Street. The width of the
survey will be from back of sidewalk to back of
sidewalk where sidewalks exist. Where no sidewalk
exists, the extents will extend to the 10 feet beyond
the edge of pavement or to the face of existing
fences, as applicable.
− Public utilizes that may existing along the roadway but
beyond the limits of topographic mapping will also be
surveyed.
− Approximately 300 feet of the existing berm and new
pedestrian pathway located north of the creek and
east of Orr Street will be located.
− The area under the existing bridge plus fifty feet
upstream and fifty feet downstream of the bridge will
be located.
− Topographic survey will include all necessary work to
produce a topographic map, including features such
as, but not limited to; building corners and elevations,
curb lines, water meters, sewer cleanouts, valves,
manholes (including rim, invert and pipe information),
utility markings on the pavement, utility poles,
driveway and doorway locations, sidewalks, trees
four (4) inches and larger, retaining wall or decorative
walls, and any other pertinent information that could
apply to the project during design.
− Topographic survey will be provided on North
American Vertical Datum of 1988.
− Topographic map to horizontally relate California
Coordinate System of 1983, Zone II.
Cinquini & Passarino perform one additional creek cross
section approximately 200 feet west of the of the bridge
and one additional creek cross section approximately 300
feet east of the bridge.
Task 2.2 Assumptions:
− Surveyors will be provided reasonable access to the
project site and a no-cost encroachment permit will
be issued by the City (if required).
Task 2.2 Deliverables:
− Sealed hardcopy of Topographic Survey Map. The
Autocad “dwg” used to create the hardcopy will also
be provided.
Orr Street Bridge and Transportation Corridor Study and Plan 31 GHD City of Ukiah
Optional Task
Full Creek Cross Topographic Survey
Cinquini & Passarino perform a topographic survey of the
creek beyond the limits described in Task 2.2. The limits
of the topo will extend 250 feet west of the bridge to 350
feet east of the bridge. Mapping will include the creek to
the top of bank plus one additional topographic point ten
feet beyond the top of bank where accessible.
2.3 Right of Way Surveying & Base Mapping
Cinquini & Passarino will research record mapping, deeds
and other recorded information to map the existing right
of way along the project corridor. The City does not
anticipate a need to acquire additional right of way for the
project. As such, Cinquini & Passarino will solely map the
record right of way for the project which will not include
mapping each adjacent parcel. Cinquini & Passarino field
crews will search and tie existing property monuments
such as monument wells, iron pipes, spikes, pins and
other record boundary markers. Cinquini & Passarino
will resolve right of way from record information and
field surveys and provide an AutoCAD based right of way
drawing. It is expected that title reports will not be a part
of the research. In the event existing right of way research
requires the need for additional information and clarity,
title reports may be requested from the City. If additional
right of way or easement take becomes necessary,
Cinquini & Passarino will request title reports from City
and will perform base mapping of the required parcel.
Cinquini & Passarino will assume the need to map two (2)
parcels in the event additional right of way or easements
are necessary.
All visible survey monuments and monument wells will be
surveyed and mapped into the AutoCAD based survey
as part of future Monument Perpetuation documents in
accordance with Section 8771 of the Professional Land
Surveyors Act in the Business and Professionals Code
of the State of California. State law requires that survey
monuments in roadways that may be compromised by
construction be preserved and/or re-set.
Task 2.3 Deliverables:
− Sealed hardcopy of Right-of-Way Survey and Record
of Survey. The Autocad “dwg” used to create the
hardcopy will also be provided.
2.4 Hydraulic Analysis
This task is to support Advanced Planning Study for the
proposed structure(s) on Orr Street over Orrs Creek.
FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) shows the
bridge location is near a 1% floodplain with the Base
Flood Elevation (BFE). In addition, the creek is in a FEMA
Regulatory Floodway, so the project cannot increase the
1% flood water surface elevation in order to pro-vide a
required No-Rise Certificate for the project.
GHD will perform the following under this task:
− Obtains available hydraulic models from FEMA,
County, and other sources as needed.
− Develop a one-dimensional, steady state existing
condition hydraulic model in HEC-RAS under a
1% design flood event, based on available existing
models, creek and project area survey and surface
data.
− Prepare an existing condition hydraulic analysis, to
estimate the creek and floodplain wa-ter surface
elevation. The creek design flow is based on FEMA
Flood Insurance Study, or other sources as available.
− Geomorphic assessment at the bridge crossing to
evaluate the long-term channel mitiga-tion trend
and stability. It is based on a combination of field
observations, historical map-ping evaluation, and
empirical longitudinal profile and lateral mitigation
analysis.
− Prepare hydraulic models for up to three (3) bridge
improvements design alternatives un-der a 1% design
flood event, to evaluate their impacts to the creek
and floodplain water surface elevation.
− For the preferred design alternative, develop a design
hydraulic model, and prepare a scouring analysis in
HEC-RAS to estimate the scouring depth under a 1%
design flood event to support the bridge foundation,
footing, and abutment design.
− Prepare a Location Hydraulic Study report to
document the analysis and findings for Cal-trans
review and project approval process.
− Prepare a No-Rise Certificate for FEMA floodplain
compliance.
− Attend one (1) field meeting for geomorphic
assessment, one (1) in person project meet-ing, and
two (3) project coordination conference calls.
Hydraulic Memorandum
GHD will prepare a memorandum documenting the
existing hydraulic conditions, existing stormwater and
water quality regulations, proposed changes and provide
recommendations on storm drain and/or water quality
improvements for the proposed project. GHD will provide
a draft memorandum to the City, address one (1) round of
comments and provide a final memorandum to the City.
Task 2.4 Assumptions:
− The proposed bridge improvement design will not
Orr Street Bridge and Transportation Corridor Study and Plan 32 GHD City of Ukiah
increase the 1% flood water surface elevation in the
Regulatory Floodway at the vicinity of the Highway
59 Bridge. Therefore, it is not anticipated that FEMA
CLOMR or LOMR would be needed for this project.
− The Orrs Creek hydraulic model extent is
approximately bounded by Orchard Avenue Crossing
at the downstream limit, and Ford Street crossing at
the upstream limit.
− Creek cross sections survey and the surface
elevation data along the floodplain, collected under
this project’s field survey task, will be provided for
this task as an Existing Condition Base Map with an
existing grade surface and cross section points.
− Soil gradation data at the creek bed will be provided
for scouring analysis (limited to available information,
geotechnical analysis is not currently included in this
scope of work).
Task 2.4 Deliverables:
− One (1) submittal of Draft Location Hydraulic Study in
PDF electronic file.
− One (1) submittal of Final Location Hydraulic Study in
PDF electronic file.
− One (1) submittal of Draft No-Rise Certificate in PDF
electronic file.
2.5 Traffic Analysis
GHD will review the project’s previous Draft Traffic
Memorandum and perform updates to the report as
needed. Due to continued restrictions on business,
schools and workplaces associated with the COVID-19
pandemic, obtaining current counts may still not be
recommended as this project moves forward if current
counts are not represent typical pre-pandemic traffic
conditions. GHD will review the traffic count data from
the prior analysis and make adjustments/projections
based on other traffic counts completed in the City prior
to the travel impacts of COVID-19 extract data from the
ongoing Circulation Element amendment effort. If new
data is necessary, GHD will either collect data and make
any necessary adjustments to reflect pre-pandemic
conditions, or contract with Streetlight Data to obtain
current count estimates along the Orr Street corridor.
Future area traffic volume estimates will be forecast using
the MCOG/Ukiah model or other forecasts/growth rates
made available to GHD (as appropriate). The forecasts will
include, as made available to GHD, any zoning changes
associated with the ongoing Housing Element update
and the recently approved 20-year forecast land use
absorption scenario established for the Circulation
Element amendment.
GHD will prepare one (1) draft and one (1) final Traffic
Memorandum with appropriate measures to be
incorporated into the final design. The analyses will also
include:
− Documentation of the operational characteristics
of the intersections studied previously for both
existing and future conditions taking into account the
anticipated intersection or roadway improvement
projects
− For inclusion in the CEQA documentation, an
optional VMT analysis with and without the proposed
Orr Street gap-closure project can be prepared.
However, the project is presumed to have a less than
significant transportation impact under the revised
CEQA Guidelines (per SB 743)
Task 2.5 Assumptions:
− City will augment the budget for the project should
additional traffic counts be needed.
Task 2.5 Deliverables:
− One (1) draft and one (1) final traffic memorandum
2.6 Preliminary Environmental Overview Memorandum
Under this Task GHD will perform a desktop level analysis
to assess the project’s future environmental document
requirements. Assumptions will be made that Federal
Funding for the construction of the Orr Street Bridge
replacement will be obtained. GHD will review existing
documentation, databases and mapping to identify
environmental considerations and constraints associated
with the project corridor. This will include a review of
endangered and threatened species lists for the project
area, a review of the California Natural Diversity Data
Base for recorded instances of special status animal or
plant species in the project vicinity, as well as review
of records and mapping related to cultural resources,
wetlands, and floodplains. Based on our experience of
providing environmental document compliance in the
area, GHD will summarize the expected level of CEQA and
NEPA documentation for the future project, the expected
regulatory and agency permits that may be needed for
the project, and cost and schedule considerations. The
findings of the preliminary environmental review will be
incorporated into the Corridor Study Report.
2.7 Preliminary Concepts
GHD will develop up to three (3) conceptual alternatives
for the Orr Street corridor which shows the potential
roadway and structure improvements. These concepts
will be shown in 2D geometric layouts and typical cross
sections. GHD will attend up to two (2) staff workshops
as part of this task to develop and review the proposed
concepts.
Orr Street Bridge and Transportation Corridor Study and Plan 33 GHD City of Ukiah
GHD will develop the conceptual level design
configurations in plan view at a 1”=20’ scale. One (1) draft
version of each of these concepts will be provided in PDF
format for City review and comment. The exhibits will be
done with traditional 2D linework in AutoCAD.
One (1) draft version of each of the concepts will be
updated based on City comment and the final versions
will be hatched with colors representing materials to
be used in order to allow the improvements to be easily
understood by the community and stakeholder.
Task 2.7 Deliverables:
− Up to three conceptual alternatives to be used in
public meetings and final Corridor Study
2.8 Advanced Planning Study (Bridge Replacement
GHD will prepare up to two (2) Advanced Planning
Studies (APS) specific to the proposed Orr Street Bridge
Replacement. Each APS will conform to Caltrans Memo
to Designers 1-8, Caltrans Bridge Design Aids Section 10
and OSFP Information and Procedures Guide. Each APS
will show sufficient detail to allow environmental, permit
and traffic management costs to be estimated. Each APS
will be limited to the minimum detailing necessary and
basic dimensions to define the scope of the structure
work and to develop a reasonable cost estimate. The APS
will include Plan, Elevation, and Typical Section views
of each structure and notes of the critical assumptions.
BCA will also prepare a Design Memo, APS structure cost
estimates and APS Checklist for each project alternative.
Task 2.8 Deliverables:
− Up to two alternatives Advanced Planning Study/
Alternatives to be used in public meetings and final
Corridor Study
2.9 Preliminary Cost Estimates
GHD will develop planning level cost estimates to
inform the City of the anticipated costs for the project
moving forward (including additional environmental and
geotechnical studies).
Task 2.9 Deliverables:
− Planning Level cost estimates for each viable
alternative
2.10 (Optional Tasks) Additional Studies, Reporting, and
Coordination with Caltrans
After Caltrans has been engaged and has performed
their study for bridge reactivation. GHD anticipates the
need for additional studies and design reporting in order
to obtain approval for the permitting and construction
of the project. This is likely to include detailed scour
analysis, geotechnical reports, floodplain analysis and
environmental documentation (based on State/Federal
funding for the project's construction).
Task 3 – Draft and Final Corridor Study
3.1 Draft Corridor Study
GHD will prepare a single report summarizing and
documenting the preliminary engineering analysis
performed in prior Tasks in this scope to generate the
Draft Orr Street Corridor Study.
At a minimum, the report is anticipated to include:
− Include an analysis of existing conditions
− Include a summary of predominant concerns and issues
− Document public outreach process and summarize community input
− Include alignment alternatives
− Include provisions for non-motorized facilities
− Include traffic projections/results
− Provide conceptual plans for recommended alignment (35% designs for selected alternative)
− Preliminary Hydraulic Analysis
− Preliminary Bridge Designs
− Environmental Recommendations
− Preliminary cost estimates
− Evaluate feasibility of constructing recommended alignment
− Identify potential funding sources for recommended improvements
− Support “complete streets” and “livable community’s concepts
− Include project implementation/next steps overview
GHD will supply City staff with an electronic (PDF) copy
of the draft report for review/input. Hard copies will be
provided as requested by the City.
Additionally, a public meeting and/or presentation to City
Council can occur to invite additional input on the draft
findings.
