SECTION 2.
Project Approach and Schedule
It is our understanding that the City of Ukiah, using both grant and local-match funds, intends to transform a key part
of Ukiah’s central core to support safer transit for all modes of transportation. Project improvements include a focus on
pedestrian and cyclist safety enhancements, including bike lanes, ADA-compliant sidewalks and curb ramps, as well as
pedestrian safety features at a high-volume crossing within a school zone. The project will also replace aging and failing utility
infrastructure to provide a more resilient water, sewer, and storm drain system.
Improvements along East Clay Street will be critical for upgrading this underdeveloped corridor into a key east-west collector
to link downtown Ukiah to the new Courthouse, the Grace Hudson Museum, the rail trail, and surrounding civic and residential
areas. The width of the East Clay Street corridor varies from about 45-feet to 55-feet in width and has an undefined curb line or
limit of public improvements. In general, the improvements to East Clay Street will include the following:
»Sidewalk gap closure (approximate 1, 200 linear feet) and curb ramp construction along length of East Clay Street
between South Main Street and the Rail Trail.
»Dedicated Class II bike lanes to connect users on East Clay Street to the City’s rail trail
»Street lighting along the length of Clay Street
»Replacement of approximately 600 linear feet the existing 8-in water main with new 8-in water main and replacement of
the water service lines between the main and the individual meters
»Replacement of approximately 600 linear feet of existing 8-in sewer main with new 6-in sewer main and replacement of
the sewer service laterals between the main and the existing clean-outs or location for new clean-outs.
»Landscape design for roadway bioretention areas and a new center median for tree planting
»Extension of paved roadway and reconstruction or rehabilitation of the existing paved surface
»Tree removal along south side of street
The BKF Team supported the City
with mapping and design services
for the rehabilitation of East Perkins
Street to the north, Gobbi Street to
the south, and provided design for
the new Ukiah Courthouse building,
including the development of the
drawings for the construction of the
new Courthouse Drive and East Clay
Street extension. No other team is
as familiar with the project site and
connecting streets as BKF is!
PROPOSED APPROACH AND PROCEDURES
Attachment A
City of Ukiah, Central Ukiah Circulation Improvement Project | 4
The graphic above illustrates our understanding of the limits and layout of the new improvements along East Clay Street.
Similar to East Clay Street, Leslie Street needs new and replacement sidewalk, accessible curb ramps, utility system upgrades
and pavement rehabilitation. This roadway will also require additional pedestrian safety enhancements to address the high-
volume of bicycle and pedestrian traffic through this residential street and fronting the River Oak Charter School. Leslie Street
does have a well-defined curb-to-curb width of approximately 45-feet, which can accommodate a Class II bike facility. The
scope of improvements targeted for Leslie Street includes:
»Sidewalk gap closure and replacement of existing failing sidewalk (approximate 4,800 linear feet) and curb ramp
construction along length of Leslie Street between Gobbi Street and Perkins Street
»Dedicated Class II bike lanes and signage to connect users on Leslie Street and those from Gobbi Street and Perkins
Street to the City’s rail trail
»Pedestrian safety enhancements adjacent to the school, including bulb-outs, a raised crosswalk with Rectangular Rapid
Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), lane width reductions and other potential traffic calming features.
»Replacement of approximately 800 linear feet the existing x-in water main with new 8-in water main and replacement of
the water service lines between the main and the individual meters
»New storm drain infrastructure improvements to address nuisance ponding
»Reconstruction or rehabilitation of the existing paved surface
SECTION 2. PROJECT APPROACH AND SCHEDULE
Image Above: Conceptual East Clay Street Improvements
Image Above: Conceptual East Clay Street/Leslie Street Intersection Improvements
City of Ukiah, Central Ukiah Circulation Improvement Project | 5
We have identified the following key project challenges and constraints below, as well as our approach to overcoming
these obstacles:
Accessible Curb Ramp Design: BKF will identify a proposed new configuration for each of the seven (7)
new curb ramps to be replaced. At this time, we are expecting that many of the ramps to be replaced
will not be able to be constructed in accordance with the City of Ukiah’s standard Curb Ramp detail,
due to apparent limitation is available right of way. Use of the Caltrans Standard Modified Case C Ramp
will be investigated as a potential ramp option for locations with limited right-of-way. Our review of the
project site and available right of way mapping have led us to understand that the pedestrian curb ramp
improvements along Leslie Street will require creative layout solutions in order to minimize impacts to
utilities while providing ramps that meet current ADA requirements. BKF will leverage our on-staff ADA
Certified Access Specialist (CASp) for support, as needed, when dealing with challenging ramps such as
these. Ramps and crossing improvements will be designed to maintain a consistent “look and feel” to the
improvements that we designed on both Gobbi Street and Perkins Street.
Driveway Approaches: Providing an accessible path of travel across or around the driveways along Leslie
Street can be approached in a couple of different ways, one option involves keeping the pedestrian path
of travel straight an ramping down the sidewalk at each driveway, then performing driveway conform work
behind back of walk via Temporary Construction Easements. Alternatively, a more standard walk-behind
sidewalk approach can be employed, where pedestrians remain at sidewalk grade and walk behind the
sloping driveway. With this approach, however, the City may need to acquire additional right of way or
permanent easements for the purposes of utilizing those areas for public use. Our team has experience
supporting our municipal clients through both of these approaches.
Accessibility Around Existing Poles: A number of locations along Leslie Street, as well as some
potential sidewalk locations along East Clay Street, involve overhead utility poles within areas of
desired sidewalk. Without undergrounding or relocating these poles which is costly for both time
and funds, creative approaches to sidewalk alignment will need to be explored, including mini
bulb-outs in select areas. The Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) Manual
allows for exceptions to the minimum clear width of public sidewalk, down to 36-inches, in
instances where an existing obstruction cannot be reasonably modified or moved to accommodate
a standard 48-in clear width. We would look to leverage this exception, where approved by the
City, to help keep project costs under control and minimize impacts to the schedule.
Maintained Utility Use during Construction: It is our experience that many City streets do not have available underground
real estate to allow for construction of a new parallel sewer system while keeping the existing system in place and functional
during construction. Our work on the Gobbi Street utility replacement project involved preparation of stage construction
plans that identified an order of work and available corridors for construction of the various utilities during different phases
of work. We would look to replicate that successful approach here as well. If upon review of the existing utility conditions we
determine that the best or only alignment for the new mains coincide with the location of the existing mains, we can support
with City by preparing specifications for a by-pass pumping system to be installed and operated by the Contractor. We have
recent experience with developing specifications for sewer by-pass pumping, which can be utilized when portions of the
existing system need to be removed to facilitate construction of the new system.
Pavement Rehabilitation: According to the City of Ukiah Pavement Condition Index (PCI) map,
both East Clay Street and Leslie Street are in Category IV – Failed condition, as indicated by the
red color on the map. With PCIs ranging from 1 to 8, both roads are showing signs of heavy base
failure, fatigued, and an extensive network of cracking. It appears as those poor surface drainage
management may be contributing to the pavement failure on both streets.
Geotechnical boring information and traffic index data will be used to inform the design of a
pavement rehabilitation approach. Pavement techniques we will explore may include a grind and
overlay, full-depth reclamation, pavement section re-establishment, and potential for dig-outs
or trench re-compaction efforts at limited locations. BKF will present the pavement rehabilitation
options to the City and will work with City staff to identify the preferred rehabilitation techniques in
order to achieve the intended result while offering opportunities for cost savings by incorporating
less intensive restoration where suitable.
SECTION 2. PROJECT APPROACH AND SCHEDULE
City of Ukiah, Central Ukiah Circulation Improvement Project | 6
Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements: BKF will coordinate layout and prepare design for a new, enhanced pedestrian
crossing near the charter school on Leslie Street, similar to the mid-block crossing we designed for Gobbi Street. To enhance
pedestrian and cyclist safety, BKF would like to investigate striping and signage improvements that can be employed to
increase visibility and awareness of the pedestrian crossings, such as high-contract markings, a speed table, and flashing
beacons on signage.
Low Impact Development (LID): Based on our review of the project site, we believe that the new improvements will trigger
compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Phase 1 MS4 permit. The City of Ukiah, like many
jurisdictions, has elected to follow the guidance spelled out in the City of Santa Rosa Low Impact Development Technical
Design Manual (LID Manual) to illustrate compliance with the MS4 permit. BKF is very familiar with the LID Manual – we quite
literally helped to write the book! Our own staff in our Santa Rosa office were contributing authors for the LID Manual! We
are familiar with incorporating LID features into existing roadway corridors and understand the significant cost impact and
construction impact these features can have it not appropriately planned for.
Alternative Approaches to Open Trenching: Depending on the condition of the existing water sewer mains and the concerns
that the City may have regarding their age and capacity, a trenchless remediation of the existing mains, such as slip lining, may
be applicable to the project. Slip lining utilizes the existing pipe as a carrier pipe for the installation of a liner, typically made
of HDPE. This liner provides a barrier between the fluid and the carrier pipe, addressing many concerns associated with aging
infrastructure. While this is a cost-effective and schedule-efficient approach for remediating the effects of older infrastructure,
this approach may also impact the maximum flow capacity of the carrier pipe. BKF would like the opportunity to further
understand the specific concerns and need and explore this, and other alternative approaches to save on both cost and time.
SECTION 2. PROJECT APPROACH AND SCHEDULE
City of Ukiah, Central Ukiah Circulation Improvement Project | 7
SECTION 2. PROJECT APPROACH AND SCHEDULE
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Management: BKF will provide general project management and consultant oversight services including defining
and tracking tasks, status updates, general coordination, and preparation of a detailed schedule showing planned milestones
and deliverables to be achieved for completion of the project. BKF will also track the budget and issue monthly invoices and
updates to the schedule, as needed.
Project Kick-Off Meeting: BKF will host a project kick-off meeting with the City, sub-consultants, and additional stakeholders
(as needed) to review project goals, reaffirm scope and timeline, and identify communication protocols and information
needs. BKF will prepare an agenda for this meeting and circulate meeting notes following the discussion.
Routine Status Update Meetings: BKF will schedule regular progress meetings (assumed to be once monthly) to discuss
the status of the Project, upcoming efforts, issues, coordination items, and other relevant information. Agendas, action logs,
updated project schedules, and meeting minutes will be prepared and distributed. We will also maintain frequent and timely
communication with City staff throughout the duration of the Project.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): BKF will perform quality control checks for each submittal in accordance with
BKF’s Quality Manual prior to submitting to City. BKF’s Quality Control Manager will review both in-house and sub-consultant
work at each phase of the Project to ensure quality and contract compliance. All plan review comments will be documented
and formally responded to in the form of a comment response letter and/or comment response markups. A copy of BKF’s full
Quality Manual can be provided upon request.
Deliverables:
»Baseline Schedule and Schedule Updates
»Invoices
»Progress Report
»Meeting Agendas and Minutes
»Plan Review Response Documents
TASK 2: DATA COLLECTION
Record Data Collection and Field Review: BKF will research and collect available records from the City, Mendocino County,
and the public utilities to obtain property lines, utility data, and geotechnical and traffic information. BKF will take notes of
any potential public/private conflicts within rights-of-way. While BKF understands it is the City’s intent to construct the Project
within existing public rights-of-way, should a conflict occur, BKF will identify locations of needed easements.
Public Utilities Coordination: Older streets often have shallow utilities which may conflict with full depth replacement paving
or other designs implemented with this project. Additionally, in order to prolong the finished streets lifespan, it is important
to coordinate any planned utility projects prior to final paving. BKF will communicate with Comcast, AT&T, and the City of
Ukiah Public Works Utilities Division to understand and map the location of the existing and future utilities and to coordinate
relocations and potential upgrades to their facilities, if needed.
Topographic and Boundary Survey: BKF’s field crews will collect field topographic survey data at typical cross sections and critical
locations and higher density topographic spot data where bulb-outs or curb ramps are anticipated. The topographic survey will be
comprised of identified visible site features such as visible utility infrastructure, landscape, hardscape, walls, fences, signs, lights,
survey monuments, striping and edge of pavement, and trees 6-inches and larger in diameter. We will obtain a succession of spot
elevations to define the general terrain of the project location to produce mapping at a 1-foot contour interval.
The topographic mapping approach described herein will generate a base map. The horizontal and vertical control will
be based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88),
respectively. The base maps will include topographic and utility information encountered during the course of the survey and
as provided by the City and utility surveyors.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
City of Ukiah, Central Ukiah Circulation Improvement Project | 8
BKF will locate all known and encountered survey monuments within the area of contemplated improvements, so they can be
accounted for in the design documents, and include specifications for preservation and/or perpetuation as required by state law.
Should right of way or easement acquisitions be required, BKF will prepare legal descriptions and plat to accompany the offers
made to private property owners. Additionally, we anticipate the need for several Temporary Construction Easements for Right to
Enter Agreements to facilitate driveway approach improvements. BKF will support this effort for an assumed twelve locations.
Geotechnical Investigation: A site investigation and report prepared by a Geotechnical Engineer is highly recommended
for paving rehabilitation projects with complex existing conditions and several potential solutions. BKF, through our sub-
consultant, RGH, will prepare geotechnical report that will support project designs. To complete this exploration, we will
leverage our past work in the area and the resulting knowledge of Ukiah’s unique geologic framework to minimize the level of
effort in completing the following investigative tasks:
»Review local geologic reports, maps, and information in RGH and public databases to determine anticipated site geology.
»Install one shallow boring every approximately 300 linear feet of roadway to describe site soils, gauge soil density, and
collect samples for analysis of engineering properties. Our professional staff will work with project designers to develop the
appropriate testing program for the conditions and project needs. Testing parameters will include R-values and compaction
curves to support pavement design and later testing and inspections during construction.
»Perform laboratory analyses to determine properties critical to the successful completion of the project.
As part of our planning for this field exploration, we will work with the City of Ukiah to obtain encroachment permits and
determine traffic control plans as required. Following completion of this field scope, RGH will summarize our findings a report
that will include an evaluation of geohazards and geotechnical considerations, coordinating closely with the project design
team to ensure that we provide advice that best meets the needs of the project.
Deliverables:
»Base Map including Topography, Boundary, and Utility Information
»Geotechnical Investigation Report
TASK 3: 30% DESIGN
Under this task, BKF will develop a 30% design package. We are familiar with the City of Ukiah’s Standard Plans and Notes and
anticipate that these standards will be used as the basis for our design. BKF will coordinate with the City and verify that the
proposed plan conforms to existing conditions, boundary, and site constraints.
BKF will verify, based on the available record information, if there are any identifiable conflicts between proposed and existing
improvements or any conflicts with the existing Right-of-Way limits. This task will also include time for a preliminary hydraulic
and hydrology analysis to size the new sections of storm drain. At this stage, we will also assess preliminary sizing of the Low
Impact Development (LID) features, based on the amount of new or replaced impervious surface. We will document limits
of the street lighting, water, and sewer utility improvements as well as locations and limits for sidewalk infill, curb ramps, and
roadway reconstruction/rehabilitation.
To develop the 30% design package, BKF will prepare design development and coordination documents to provide ideas
and solicit feedback from the City. These documents may include brief written memos describing pavement rehabilitation
approaches, preliminary cost estimates, and conceptual layout exhibits.
Drawings: We will prepare the following drawings:
»Civil Cover Sheet
»Typical Roadway Sections
»Improvement Layout Plan
»Curb Ramp Grading Details
»Utility Plan
»Paving Plan
»Striping Plan
»Planting and Irrigation Plan

TASK 4: 60% DESIGN
Due to the nature of these improvements, we feel it would be important to schedule a site visit with City staff to “ground truth”
the improvements illustrated on the 30% design drawings. Following the site visit, BKF will continue to coordinate with the City
and our subconsultant to expand our design packages, including the development of utility replacement and street lighting,
pavement design calculations, striping and signage improvements, and the preparation of a preliminary Storm Water Low
Impact Development Submittal (SWLIDS) in accordance with the City of Santa Rosa LID Technical Design Memorandum.

Based on the comments received on the 60% design submittal, BKF will advance the design of the paving, hardscape, signal,
and utility improvements. During this task, we will layer in additional detail to the design and continue in-depth coordination
with the City. It is assumed that the City will develop the Construction Agreement and will identify the forms required as
part of the bid and contract process. In addition to the drawings, final calculations, an engineer’s estimate of probable
construction costs, and technical specifications will be prepared and provided.
Deliverables:
»Preliminary (90%) Design Drawings

TASK 6: FINAL PS&E
It is our understanding these documents will be used by the City to perform the bidding process, as such the documents will be
detailed to the level required by the Contractor to bid and construct. BKF will finalize the plans, specifications, and engineer’s
estimate of probable construction costs (collectively known as PS&E) based on final review comments from the City.
Deliverables:
»Final Signed/Sealed Drawings for Construction
»Final Signed/Sealed Technical Specifications
»Final Signed/Sealed Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs

TASK 7: SWPPP (Optional Task)
BKF will provide Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) services in compliance with the Construction General Permit Order 2009-
0009-DWQ as amended by Order 2022-0057-DWQ, administered by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). We
will provide support services to the Owner’s Legally Responsible Person (LRP) to submit Permit Registration Documents (PRDs)
to the State’s online Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) program website. It is assumed
that the Contractor will provide QSP and OSD services for the Project including implementation of the SWPPP document.
TASK 8: MONUMENT PRESERVATION AND RE-ESTABLISHMENT
It is understood that existing monuments marking the centerline of Leslie Street and Clay Street and monuments marking
some of the side lines of individual properties fronting these streets exist within the project limits exist, and that permanent
monuments must be reset in order to perpetuate the position of destroyed monuments in accordance with Section 8771 of
the California Land Surveyor’s Act.
BKF will utilize boundary information provided as part of our scope of services and will submit a Record of Survey to the
Mendocino County Surveyor’s Office in accordance with Section 8762 of the California Land Surveyor’s Act. Said Record
of Survey will document retracement of the Leslie Street and Clay Street rights of ways as well as document resetting not
more than six (6) centerline monuments and not more than three (3) side line monuments post construction. BKF will be
responsible for re-setting side line monuments destroyed during the course of construction, however, BKF will not be
responsible for construction of centerline monuments. BKF will be responsible for stamping centerline monuments following
monument construction by others. It is understood that lane closures may be needed during the course of centerline
monument referencing, construction and stamping, and the cost of lane closure and centerline monument construction is not
included in this contract.
City of Ukiah, Central Ukiah Circulation Improvement Project | 11
OPTIONAL SCOPE OF SERVICES
OPTIONAL TASK 1: UNDERGROUND UTILITY LOCATING SERVICES
If requested, BKF will provide underground utility detection services in the same area of the proposed topographic survey.
BKF will perform utility investigation services using industry-acceptable methods to determine the approximate horizontal
position and count of existing utilities on the subject site (except irrigation, typically). BKF’s field crews will use a combination
of water-based paint or marking chalk or pin flags (in the appropriate APWA color) to mark the results of our investigation
on the ground surface. BKF will compare available utility record information (supplied by City) with the results of field
investigation services to consolidate field evidence and record documentation. Utilities not identifiable by BKF’s field crews
due to lack of utility record information or above-ground appurtenances will be marked with pink paint on the ground surface
and annotated as “Unknown” on the project deliverables. Once the utilities have been marked, BKF will survey the locations
of the utilities and add them to the base drawing. BKF will utilize the project’s horizontal and vertical coordinate system so as
to keep the utility data on the same coordinate system as the surveying files. BKF will make a reasonable effort to locate and
map underground utilities, however, given the current technological limitations of the locating equipment, a guarantee as to
all utilities cannot be made.
OPTIONAL TASK 2: BID AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE SUPPORT SERVICES
BKF can provide bid and construction phase support services. Scope and fee can be provided upon request and would be
executed as an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement.
Bid Support Services: BKF can assist the City during the construction bid solicitation process on an as-needed basis. Bid
support services can include the following:
a.Responding to Requests for Information (RFIs) during the bid process
b.Assisting the City with issuing bid addendum packages
c.Summarizing and tabulating received bids
Construction Support Services: BKF can allocate time to support the Contractor and Design Team during the construction
phase of the Project. Anticipated services include written responses to RFIs, review of submittals, and drawing revisions as
needed. Preparation of record drawings based on the Contractor’s as-builts can also be provided as part of this service.
Construction Meetings: BKF can attend site meetings with the Contractor during the construction process. Anticipated
meetings include the following:
a.Pre-construction meeting
b.Three (3) interim site visits
c.Final punch-list walk
d.Additional meetings as determined necessary by the City
