The Project widens Highway 9 and River Street, as well as segments of Highway 1 to help address safety, bicycle/pedestrian access, and delay and operational congestion experienced at the existing signalized intersection and roadway corridors. Project construction is generally complete and close-out is underway. Working closely with District 5, BKF cleared the Project by completing the PA&ED phase through Caltrans, which yielded CEQA (IS/MND) and NEPA (CE) clearance, as well as an approved Project Report. As part of the PA&ED evaluation and value engineering process, several roadway cross sections and geometric alternatives were evaluated to minimize impacts to the Arroyo and surrounding wetlands, and the magnitude and consequence of right-of-way requirements for the project. Several public outreach and one-on-one meetings were held with affected stakeholders to mitigate and determine the proper reconstruction required to maintain active businesses. Once PA&ED was completed, BKF proceeded with 2 PS&E packages, preparing construction documents with D5 design oversight for review, approval and implementation. Part of that process involved R/W Engineering and navigating the acquisition of over 5 parcels, including working closely with the City and property owners to minimize impacts and avoid the need for full acquisition.

Due to the anticipated volume of traffic produced by the development, the EIR mitigation measures identified that the Lagoon Valley Interchange at Interstate 80 needed to be reconstructed and signalized. This was a result of BKF's analysis comparing types of controlled intersections that could be provided at the interchange that included roundabouts and signalized intersections. The ramp terminals at Lagoon Valley Road will be realigned from a stop -controlled intersection with free flowing right turns to a fully signalized intersection at the eastbound and westbound ramp terminal locations. Additionally, the Cherry Glen Overcrossing will be widened approximately 40 feet to add two through lanes, pedestrian and bicycle facilities and complete street concepts to upgrade the interchange for the safe passage for all users. BKF also coordinated with the concurrent express lane project to ensure that each project's requirements were addressed. Outside of the interchange, the project realigns a segment of Lagoon Valley Road between the eastbound ramp intersections to the Nelson Road/Rivera Road intersection to the east. Other proposed features of the project include stormwater treatment facilities that comply with the Caltrans NPDES permit and construction of retaining walls to minimize impacts to properties outside of Caltrans right- of-way. BKF processed the project through Caltrans with a Combined PSR/PR and is moving forward with the PS&E phases. BKF worked with the City and Caltrans and negotiated Caltrans acceptance of an Amendment to the existing certified EIR for the development to address the interchange improvements in lieu of a new independent environmental document.

Given the extensive amount of utility relocations required to accommodate the new interchange and realignment of local roadways, STA divided the overall design and construction of the Red Top Road Interchange project into two separate packages: the Lopes Road Realignment project and the I-680/Red Top Road Interchange project, for which BKF led each. BKF provided the environmental revalidation, Supplemental PR and PS&E services for the Red Top Road Interchange and Lopes Road realignment project. The design process required extensive coordination with project stakeholders including land owners/developers, utility owners, local schools, City of Fairfield, Solano County, and Caltrans. The Lopes Road Realignment project consists of reconstructing approximately 6,040 feet of roadway and relocating existing utilities directly in conflict with the location of the new interchange at 1-680 and Red Top Road. The 1-680/Red Top Road Interchange project consists of constructing a new interchange at 1-680 by extending Red Top Road east from Lopes Road. In order to construct the new interchange and accommodate the overall 1-80/1-680/SR12 Interchange project, BKF evaluated various design alternatives for relocating impacted roadways and utilities.

The proposed extension over I-880 will start in the vicinity of Paragon Drive on the west side of 1-880 and extend to the intersection of Silkwood Lane and Old Oakland Road on the east side of 1-880 which will provide a safe multimodal facility that will improve roadway network connectivity in the area. The extension will provide east -west vehicular capacity, safe bicycle/ pedestrian access over I-880, and a continuous roadway from Old Oakland Road in the east to North First Street in the west. The City of San Jose has identified the extension of Charcot Avenue over I-880 as a key gateway to and within North San Jose and is one of their high priority projects for the City, providing much -needed east west connectivity. There is no other east -west vehicular or bicycle/pedestrian crossings over I-880 between the Montague Expressway and Brokaw Road interchanges, and provides an active transportation gap closure opportunity identified in the City's General Plan and Bike/Ped Masterplan. The project evaluated several intersection control options including roundabouts, and settled on protected signalized intersections with Class IV bikeways with separate bike signal control. Considerations for future express lanes along I-880 were integrated into the bridge profile and span configuration to avoid preclusion of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's future HOT Lane Projects. BKF worked closely with the City of San lose, Caltrans and the adjacent property owners impacted by the project (Supermicro Computers and Orchard Elementary School) to develop geometric alternatives to minimize and avoid impacts, and integrate complete streets that will satisfy the needs of the City and the community.

ORGANIZATION & APPROACH PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The primary purpose of the US 101/Prado Road Interchange Project (Project) is to enhance overall circulation and accessibility in the project area for all transportation modes, addressing a crucial need for better community connectivity between the existing and planned neighborhoods on both sides of the US 101 freeway. This project is essential to resolving forecasted operational deficiencies on City facilities, with a focus on minimizing impacts on the operations of US 101 and adjacent interchanges, improving mobility for bicyclists and pedestrians, enhancing transit performance, and ensuring consistency with local, regional, and state planning efforts. The importance of this project cannot be overstated given it will provide a much -needed east west connection over the freeway. The current configuration of the Prado Road interchange with US 101, which includes only northbound off- and on -ramps, severely limits access between the freeway and the local street system. The proposed extension of Prado Road over US 101 is vital for improving connectivity and supporting planned roadway improvements on both sides of the freeway. These enhancements are critical for the efficient operation of all travel modes, benefiting both regional and local traffic. By addressing existing deficiencies in the transportation network, this project will significantly contribute to the overall quality of life and economic vitality of the community. To successfully deliver this project for the City and realize the noted benefits, the BKF Team has looked over the project design to identify key issues that will need to be resolved as part of the PS&E phase of the project. These issues and potential solutions to incorporate design refinements are highlighted in the narrative below for the City's consideration. PROJECT CHALLENGES/KEY ISSUES Value Analysis One of the most critical initial steps of the project is evaluating the previously prepared Value Analysis (VA) Study Summary Report and produce a Value Analysis Recommendations report that incorporates these design revisions. Since several key design recommendations were deferred to the PS&E phase, the BKF team has already began evaluating each to determine how best to address them immediately as part of Phase 1 of the project: • VA Alt 1 - Reduce of maximum speed on structure from 45 to 35 mph • VA Alt 2 — Reduce lane and shoulder width where practical • VA Alt 3 - Use Cast -in -Drilled -Hole (CIDH) columns in lieu of driven piles and pile caps • VA Alt 4 - Use longer spans and fewer columns with precast girders • VA Alt 5 - Abandon existing sewer main on current Elks Lane alignment • VA Alt 6 - Utilize recycled/reclaimed materials on the project We understand the project team has already accepted VA Alts 2 and 6, and has rejected Alt 5. Our analysis of these recommendations for VA Alts 1, 3, and 4 is detailed in the following summary amongst several other design revisions/efficiencies we believe are warranted. Geometric Refinements 35 MPH Speed Reduction (VA Alt 1) We strongly recommend modifying the project design to include a 35 mph design speed along Prado Road. Reducing the design speed will generally have a positive influence on critical aspects such as horizontal alignment, vertical profiling, and roundabout approach speeds intended to facilitate an overall safe and functional intersection. This reduction to 35 mph is particularly significant in minimizing the speed reduction within such a short distance to ensure vehicular speeds can reach the desirable 25-30 mph maximum entry design speeds and 15 mph navigation speeds within the roundabout. Given that the distance between the overcrossing and the roundabout is short and on a downslope approach, this speed reduction is even more important, and safer than a more drastic speed reduction required if the design speed was set to be 45 mph. A design exception will likely be required for this design speed reduction but can be seen as a necessary exception to ensure safety is met at the adjoining roundabout.

ORGANIZATION & APPROACH Superelevation Correction As documented in the previously prepared Geometric a positive slope in this direction to a negative slope Approval Documents (GADS), the design prepared by and then positive in the downstream tangent section the PA/ED project team has several issues as it does as the ramp heads to the mainline, however the current not account for the right superelevation rates from PA/ED geometrics never show the rate intersecting where the elevated on- and off ramp intersection the axis of rotation, which is a significant design issue. transitions to the horizontal curved segment of the Furthermore, the design does not provide the required adjoining ramps that then head towards the gore point superelevation runoff lengths of 100 feet and 150 feet that intersects the mainline. In simple terms, the Prado within the tangent section of the proposed US-101 on - Road mainline is sloping downward at 1.5%through the intersection where it meets the adjoining ramps, so ramp. the ramp superelevations should be transitioning from LEFT EDGE SHOULD BE POSITIVE TO BEING SUPERELEVATION TANGENT LENGTH DOES THE SUPEREIEVRTION RATE SHOULD CROSS GWEN THE GAD PROFILE IS NEARLY ZERO NOT COMPLY WITH CATIONS HOM THE "IS OF ROTATION TO MEET HERB! _WITHIN THE INTERSECTION STANDARDS GO BE MUFCN Tim SUPEREIEVATION TANGENT LENGTH DOES � �R In our preliminary analysis, we re -designed the superelevation diagram to include standard runoff lengths as shown in the revised diagram shown below.

Moreover, we believe sufficient clearance to the right of way boundary and existing site features to support construction of the elevated structure can be preserved as identified in the image next page.

Structural Refinements CIDH Concrete Piles (VA Alt 3) The use of large diameter CIDH piles has the advantages of smaller foundation footprints and a significant reduction in structure excavation/backfill costs because CIDH concrete piles can be installed at the original ground elevation. However, the construction cost of CIDH concrete piles is highly dependent on the subsurface conditions at the site and the specialty contractor's proficiency. Based on the information provided in "Preliminary Foundation Report LIS101/Prado Road Overcrossing, City of San Luis Obispo, California" dated August 2019, CIDH concrete piles are not preferred due to the presence of ground water and sandy materials. However, with the use of temporary steel casings and placing concrete using Caltrans' slurry method, CIDH concrete piles are still considered feasible. Due to the additional costs related to removal and possibly treatment of spoils from drilling, the potential risks of encountering issues during construction, for instance, hard drilling conditions or detection of anomalies in the pile concrete during acceptance testing, and the more flexible structural system (and thus larger seismic displacements in the structures), CIDH concrete piles may or may not offer cost savings. With the conduction of additional field explorations and further evaluation of geotechnical conditions at the project site as part of Phase 1 of the project, the design team will perform an in-depth evaluation of this option and provide our recommendations before moving into final design as described in Phase 2 of our scope of work. Span Lengths and Column Spacing (VA Alt 4) Based on the bridge configurations presented in Attachment D, "Structures Advance Planning Study (APS)" of the PR, the typical main spans of the CIP/PS box girders at Prado Road OC and the ramp structure are about 114 to 120 feet long. It is the design team's opinion that these span lengths are fairly short considering this superstructure type. The advantage of posttensioningmay not be fully utilized. For CIP/ PS box girders, common span lengths are on the order of 120 to 200 feet. By increasing the span lengths, the number of bents and column foundations can be reduced. Despite the slight increase in superstructure depths, it is our opinion that using longer spans with fewer bents and column foundations will result in cost savings. Additionally, the abutment heights appear to be fairly short and can potentially be increased to shorten the bridge structures. For example, the design team envisions the Prado Road Overcrossing (OC) with 150-foot main spans and a reduced overall bridge length of 1,250 feet. The number of support bents is reduced from thirteen in the APS to eight, as shown in the attached BKF Alternative Exhibit. However, if additional abutment fill is not feasible due to floodplain drainage constraints (which will be reviewed by the design team during Phase 1), the end spans of the structures can transition from CIP/ PS box girders to a different superstructure type, CIP/ PS slabs with shallower structure depths. CIP/PS slabs can typically span up to 65 feet and are commonly supported on smaller columns or pile extensions. The per square foot cost of CIP/PS slabs are generally lower than that of CIP/PS box girders due to easier forming. By utilizing CIP/PS slabs on smaller piles in lieu of abutment fills, the impact to floodplain drainage can be minimized.

ORGANIZATION & APPROACH Closed Abutments with Concrete "Curtain" Walls A unique idea we have to improve aesthetics and hide the "concrete column forest" beneath the elevated structure is to install concrete "curtain" walls on the exterior sides of the CIP/PS slab spans to create a closed abutment look. Doing so would mask these columns and provide walls with the opportunity for BCA and Apexx Studios to develop aesthetic treatments. Installing these "curtain" walls would deter homeless gatherings and the potential for encampments beneath the structure. We understand the elevated structure is primarily being driven by the need to minimize encroachment within the floodplain, which eliminated typical abutment or retained fill scenarios. However, we believe the walls can be designed so that they are set a couple inches above the ground to allow stormwater within the floodplain to occupy the areas beneath the structure during significant storm events. Precast Concrete 1-girders (VA Alt 4) Another concept mentioned in the VA Study Report is the use of precast concrete I -girders in conjunction with longer spans. 1-girders are no longer the preferred type of precast girders in California. Instead, California wide Flange girders are more commonly used today and are more effective than 1-girders with shallower depth -to -span ratios and can accommodate longer span lengths. One main advantage of using precast concrete _ girders is that no falsework is required, which reduces the bridge profile because the 15-foot temporary vertical clearance to falsework need not be considered in design. Additionally, because the girders are prefabricated off site, construction duration can be shortened, minimizing disruption to highway traffic underneath. -'- Precast concrete girders are best utilized 9 in straight bridges with repetitive spans and constant bridge widths. Because e j the proposed Prado Road OC and the t7 adjoining ramps are partially on curved alignments and with varying bridge widths, ii the use of precast concrete girders is not ideal. The LIKE Team believes that the _-_ use of CIP/PS concrete box girders is a reasonable alternative for the proposed structures, but we will evaluate the use of precast concrete girders as part of the VA effort as there may be other advantages, such as minimizing impact to US 101 traffic. Construction Staging/Traffic Handling Design Construction staging is critical to develop a sound engineering design for the successful execution of this project. Since construction staging and traffic handling considerations were not addressed during PA/ED, we believe it's going to be very important to consider as part of Phase 1 as this design will have significant influence on the final design and costs developed in Phase 2 of the project. Understanding this importance, we have reviewed the interchange design closely and have developed a preliminary construction staging plan as identified in the attached BKF Staging Exhibits. Our proposed construction sequencing is summarized below: 1. Stage 1A- Utility Relocations: This initial stage involves relocating utilities along the existing Elks Lane and Prado Road in order to clear them from avoiding conflict with the future interchange consistent with Caltrans Utility Policy and outside of Caltrans R/W. i Y i — I -------------- e 2 - E(ks Lane Corridorio+ pi ovements 2. Stage 113 - Elks Lane Realignment: This phase is crucial to maintaining access from US 101 to areas east of US 101, particularly those on Prado Road to City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 arM Prado M Road Interchange Project 48 /� 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH the east. To prepare for the shutdown of Prado Road, new driveways to the Corp Yard and Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) will be needed, along with the new signalized intersection. We refined the vertical profile of Prado Road, specifically the signalized intersection with Elks Lane and the private driveways, in this area to maintain existing grades. Doing so minimizes impacts to adjacent properties and simplifies construction staging by avoiding conflicts with vertical grade differences during this interim stage. Once constructed, the existing on- and off -ramps will remain operational while the Elks Lane realignment is underway. 3. Stage 2A - Temporary Pavement Construction for Ramp Realignments: After completing Stage 1, this phase involves constructing temporary pavement to realign the on- and off -ramps. The new ramps will be positioned outside the proposed columns for the elevated structure so that the entire elevated structure can be completed at once, simplifying staging and mobilizations during construction. The ramp locations and geometry will be very important to evaluate as part of Phase 1 as shown in the attached BKF Staging Exhibits since these are utilized by STAA trucks. 4. Stage 213 - Elevated Structure Construction: With utilities relocated, Elks Lane realigned, the new signalized intersection constructed, and the temporary ramp locations established, the Contractor can construct the entire elevated structure at once in the final stage. This phased approach ensures minimal disruption while maintaining access and continuity throughout the construction process. Strategic Project Phasing Given the required staging sequence needed for the project, we recommend the City consider standalone design packages that include the Utility Relocation designs and the Elks Lane Realignment. Both will need to be implemented before the new interchange can be constructed - the existing Elks and Prado roadways will need to be free and clear of utilities, and in addition, to support overall traffic handling for construction of the interchange which will elevate all of Prado Road. This relocated roadway will need to be in -place in order to maintain access from the freeway to the Corp Yard, WRRF, Regional Transit Authority (RTA), and Homeless Center as access from Prado will be temporarily eliminated. We have strategically folded this into our project delivery plan by enlisting the Wallace Group as our partner on this project. With their familiarity of the project corridor and relationships with local stakeholders established as part of their work on the nearby Prado Road Bridge Project to the east, these standalone projects can advance separate from the interchange work. BKF has successfully implemented this strategy in several similar multi -phased highway projects throughout California. The major benefit of this approach is that design reviews for the local facility relocations can remain entirely with the City, simplifying the Caltrans approval process and focusing their review efforts to the interchange itself. Moreover, this strategy should significantly streamline the Utility and Right-oUWay Certifications required with Caltrans during the PS&E phase. As part of our approach, BKF will establish the geometrics for the Elks Lane realignment as shown in the attached exhibits and Figure X, and the Wallace Group will work separately and parallel to BKF, who will focus on the Interchange and Prado Road designs. We welcome further discussions with the City on this strategy as there will be considerable schedule benefits derived from this strategy. Utilities Several existing utilities are located within the project limits that will require relocation as part of this project. The following is the list of known utilities with potential longitudinal encroachment in existing or proposed access controlled right of way: • Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) - overhead electric transmission lines; • AT&T- overhead and underground cables; • Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) - 2-inch and 10-inch high pressure underground gas lines; • Phillips Petroleum - two 8-inch underground petroleum pipelines; • Caltrans - two (2) recycled water distribution lines; and • City of San Luis Obispo - underground communications, sewer, water, recycled water, and water well. Based on the design of Alternative A3, we assume all utilities will need to be cleared along existing Elks Lane and Prado Road to make room for the proposed elevated structure. Given the magnitude of the relocations required, there are several risks that will need to be managed as part of this project. As a result, we have identified Andrew Michel as our Utility Coordinator as part of this Project. Andrew is City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 arvi Pmdo Road Interchange Project 49 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH a Caltrans approved Utility Coordinator and has more than 20 years of experience as the official VTA Utility Coordinator for the BART to San Jose Project. His experience and relationships with Third -Party Utility Owners will tremendously benefit the BKF Team as we relocate facilities to make room for the elevated structure. Andrew will work closely with the Wallace Group. who has been leading the utility coordination work at the adjacent Prado Road Bridge Widening project. With this project and other past work, the Wallace Group has established close working relationships with the City utility department and the various private utility companies. Their local experience and relationships, paired with Andrew's experience with large scale utilities, will allow our team to successfully identify existing utility locations and coordinate designs for the proposed foundations to protect the existing facilities to the extent feasible. It's anticipated that the City will relinquish a portion of the right of way to the State due to the design and realignment of the existing Elks Lane, however, we anticipate that the underground utilities could remain at their existing locations if those areas are changed to be within State right of way. The Wallace Group has developed detailed joint utility trench drawings for the Prado Road Bridge Widening project that will be a good starting point for refining the understanding of the existing utilities around the interchange. Please note that dry or private utility providers will be developing their own utility designs that will be coordinated in ajoint trench. For the City's existing utilities within the project footprint, we assume that the existing 8" potable water main in Elks Lane is adequately sized and does not require upsizing when tying back into Prado Road at the new Prado/Elks Lane intersection, and the existing water main crossing under US 101 is adequate and will remain. We anticipate protecting the existing water lines in place to the extent feasible and will _ coordinate relocated portions with the structure plans. We also anticipate protecting the existing sewer mains in Elks Lane and Prado Road to the extent feasible with consideration of the structure foundation locations. This is a high priority line as it is a main trunk line feeding directly into the WRRF, so avoiding conflicts and maintaining this in -place will significantly reduce project costs. However, doing so will be a major coordination item with Caltrans Utility Group as longitudinal encroachments within State R/W are not permitted. BKF will work closely with Caltrans on the feasibility of maintaining any longitudinal encroachments by ensuring there is justification to do so and processing a Utility Policy Exception Report (UPER). A new recycled waterline will likely be required to be installed with the construction of the Elks Lane realignment, and the existing 18" recycled water pipeline in Prado Road, east of the WRRF, will need to be evaluated for hydraulics and head loss when the new recycled water pipeline in new Elks Lanejoins the existing 18" recycled water pipeline at the new Prado/ Elks intersection. As part of the Prado Bridge Widening Project, the Wallace Group assisted the City with developing a utility undergrounding ordinance, establishing limits, developing a legal description, and coordinated with multiple utilities to discuss undergrounding their lines into a joint trench. The Wallace Group coordinated with PG&E to establish the limits of undergrounding and basis for the joint trench and is working with the City to set up coordination meetings with the remaining companies and to develop a utility joint trench composite drawing. It has been critical to keep a detailed utility log, maintain regular contact with the purveyors, and clearly delineate the existing facilities based on atlas maps, field survey, USA markings, and City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 arM Prado Road Interchange Pr jea s0 M 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH field meetings. Our approach is to leverage these past experiences and do so as part of our strategy on this project. Their team's familiarity with the undergrounding process and key players will be a major benefit as the City moves forward with the Prado Road interchange. Potential PG&E Overhead Electrical Transmission Relocation The most significant utility relocation with the largest impact to project cost and schedule will be the overhead PG&E transmission lines that cross US 101. These lines are likely 50- 115kV and will likely conflict with the elevated on -ramp structure that will be constructed beneath them. Per the CPUC General Order 95, we will need a 30-foot vertical clearance to the finished grade of the ramp. As a result, the lines may need to be raised or relocated to achieve the required clearance. This process can potentially take a few years to coordinate and relocate with PG&E, so coordination to complete a catenary survey of the lines will be an important task as part of Phase 1. The lines appear to be within the public right of way so there may not be complications with protected rights under easements, but this will be an important task for the BKF Team to confirm as an entirely different and more lengthy process with the CPUC and PG&E's 851 Committee may be required. Floodplain The Project is located on the Federal En Management Administration (FEMA) Fk Rate Map (FIRM) Number 06079C1068( November 16, 2012, which has been sul four letters of map revisions (LOMRs) in floodplain in the Project vicinity (case n 0902899P, 21-09-059P, 22-09-0998P, an The project site is within the Special Flo (SFHA) Zone AE, which is prone to flooc 100-year Flood event, and where detaik determined base flood elevations (BFEs source at the project site is the San Luis By utilizing the FEMA effective model b the Hydrologic Engineering Center's Rif System (HEC-RAS) hydraulic analysis so will evaluate the project's impacts on tf by updating the effective model to refle City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 awl Prado Road Intercharge Project topographic and infrastructure changes within the project limits — primarily at the RTA and Homeless Center. This updated model will serve as the existing condition model which will be integrated into the proposed project to create a postprojectscenario. We will compare flooding extents and BFEs between these 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH models and document our findings in a flood plain evaluation report, summarizing the hydrologic inputs, model criteria, and floociplain impacts. This analysis will inform our ability to incorporate typical abutment fill scenarios at each conform to minimize project costs as shown in the attached BKF Alternative Exhibit. Environmental Revalidation Environmental revalidation will be a key focus throughout the permitting process given that any deviations will have schedule impacts to the project delivery. The BKF Team has enlisted Rincon to continue their environmental work from PA/ED as the project progresses into PS&E. As the project design advances, BKF will work closely with Rincon to regularly review and confirm that the project adheres to environmental standards, regulatory guidelines, and mitigation measures. If there are any design deviations or changes affecting the environmental study limits approved under CEQA/ NEPA, it may necessitate environmental revalidation or even a supplemental project report (SPR). The original CEQA/NEPA analysis reviewed various design alternatives during the PA/ED phase. However, any design deviations causing direct or indirect project effects beyond the environmental study limits —particularly near key environmental resources such as San Luis Obispo Creek, the historic Sunset Drive -In property, the City's Corporation Yard, and the City's Water Reclamation and Recovery Facility — could trigger the need for additional environmental documentation. Similarly, if design development introduces new or revised deviations from approved utility policy exceptions or non-standard design features, supplemental or new documentation (UPER or DSDD) may be required during the PS&E/RTL process. Outreach and Awareness The BKF Team's approach, led by Mary Verdin, will be focused on communicating new project information on design progress and reminding the community of the project's purpose and need. Given that the project has a long history and general public support as it will provide direct relief for the surrounding communities with City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 aril Prudo Road Interchange Project a new east west connection over US 101 that avoids navigating through the adjacent Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR) and Madonna Road interchanges. Despite how long it's taken to get to PS&E, the time spent is an artifact of how thoughtful the City has been in its development. Our strategy will be centered on communicating this message and re -building public trust, which means being forthcoming about the current project status and timeline going forward. BKF has developed a comprehensive project schedule that outlines how we will deliver all three phases of work to achieve project bid ready documents. However, the real challenge and strategy will be centered around when construction would occur given that the grant funding is needed and timing when to begin engagement efforts with the community. Our team will therefore need to work closely with the City on how best to approach project funding as it will dictate when and how communication with the public should proceed. We understand that the City is considering pursuing debt financing for construction in a worst case scenario, in which case, our engagement efforts with the public could begin immediately. 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH Landscape/Irrigation Design Tree Protection and Replacement Plan Per the Biological Study Area (BSA) report, five vegetation communities and land cover types were identified within the BSA during the reconnaissance level field surveys: developed areas, ornamental areas, agricultural areas, disturbed areas, and arroyo willow thicket associated with San Luis Obispo Creek. Heavily modified areas dominated by landscaped plants and/or agriculture are not classified under these systems. The Area of Potential Impacts (API) for this project is defined as the maximum amount of potential disturbance areas for both temporary and permanent impacts and is extensive enough to include all project components, including traffic, lane, and shoulder modifications, subject roads, and City and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) rights -of -way. The Biological Study Area (BSA) for this project was established based upon an aerial review of the API and includes the API plus a 50-foot buffer. We understand a substantial portion of the BSA consists of existing development, including roads, structures, storage areas, and parking lots. We understand that ornamental areas consisting of planted native and introduced trees and shrubs cover approximately 6.01 acres of the BSA and that the trees and shrubs within this habitat type provide suitable nesting habitat for raptors and a variety of passerine bird species (See Figure 1 — Vegetation Communities and Impacts). Certain trees are afforded specific protections pursuant to City ordinances. The City regulates tree removal within itsjurisdiction (Tree Ordinance No. 1544 2010 Series). The Tree Protection and Replacement Plan would need to be prepared before any tree impacts or removals occur and would be consistent with the requirements of the city tree ordinances. The Tree Protection and Replacement Plan would be based upon the final grading and building plans. The plan would outline policies specifically required in the City portion of the site, and the number of replacement trees required to offset tree impacts. An appropriate replacement/replanting program would be required to offset removals at a minimum ratio of one tree replanted for each qualifying tree removed. The replacement areas for the trees will be determined City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 and Prato Road Interchange Pr jea ME 53 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH based on the Tree Protection and Replacement Plan, a portion of these trees could be placed in such a way to allow for screening of the columns. We assume that Irrigation for these replacement trees would be temporary and devises such as Gator Bags or other temporary irrigation strategies (i.e., watering trucks with cam couplers, temporary irrigation tanks, etc.) could be explored in lieu of permanent irrigation if desired. Landscape Irrigation and Planting A portion of the project will require ornamental landscape planting and irrigation such as along the Elks Lane road reconfiguration (see adjacent Figure). Planting and irrigation for these areas will be focused on the south side of Elks Lane and not the north side closest to the drive-in as we understand that there may be some historical significance in these areas. We estimate these areas to be roughly 5 feet in width and assume a new irrigation meter, backflow, and other required equipment would be placed near the City's desired water line (assumed to be near the Elks Lane corridor). Use of Recycled/Reclaimed Materials BKF understands the critical importance of incorporating recycled and reclaimed materials to fulfill VA Alt Us goal in the U.S. 101/Prado Road Interchange Project. Our approach involves utilizing Rincon in preparing a comprehensive Sustainability Memo focusing on sustainable construction practices, emphasizing the use of eco-friendly materials and methods to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and limit environmental impact. We recognize that this project must integrate the required mitigation measures outlined in the January 2023 Initial Study— Mitigated Negative Declaration, the adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and the Environmental Commitments Record. Additionally, we will incorporate best management practices (BMPs) from Caltrans' GHG Reduction Measures Toolbox (June 2021), and adhere to any applicable conditions of approval from the City of San Luis Obispo and Caltrans. Right -of -Way and Construction Capital Cost Increases The initial right-of-way estimates were completed in 2020 and included a 20%escalation rate. Since June 2020 to June 2024, real estate in the San Luis Obispo area has increased nearly 40%. We highly recommend an update to the costs as part of our initial tasks on the project as this will influence the ability to secure right of way capital for acquisitions to support the project. Similarly, capital costs for construction carry significant escalations in recent years as well. BIKE will closely monitor these increases and will communicate new estimates throughout the milestone submittals during design development. Grant Opportunities BKF's Grants and Funding Services Team, led by Doug Fleming, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in securing competitive transportation and infrastructure funding. Our approach to grant support for the Prado Interchange Project will be comprehensive, strategic, and tailored to maximize the City's chances of success. This starts with building upon the lessons learned from previous grant pursuits as described in our attached scope of services, and building strong partnerships with the County and SLOCOG. BKF's Grants Team will continually scan for and pursue additional funding sources that align with the Prado Interchange Project's goals, which could include the following: • Solutions for Congested Corridors Program (SCCP): This program, administered by the California Transportation Commission, funds projects that reduce congestion in highly traveled and highly congested corridors through performance improvements. The Prado Interchange Project could qualify if it demonstrates significant congestion relief benefits. • Trade Corridor Enhancement Program T( CEP): Also administered by the California Transportation Commission, this program funds infrastructure improvements on federally designated Trade Corridors of National and Regional Significance. Assuming that 101 is part of such a corridor, the interchange project could be eligible. • State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP): This is a multi -year capital improvement program of transportation projects, funded with revenues from the Transportation Investment Fund and other federal and state sources. The Prado Interchange could potentially be included in the regional STIR. City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 am! Prado Road Interchange Project u %I 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH • Active Transportation Program (ATP): While this wouldn't fund the entire project, it could potentially fund elements of the project related to bicycle and pedestrian improvements, which are mentioned as part of the project scope. Our approach integrates cutting -edge AI - powered predictive analytics to optimize our grant targeting and application strategies. This innovative tool allows us to: • Identify the most promising grant opportunities for the project • Tailor applications to emphasize elements most likelyto score highly • Forecast potential award amounts to inform project budgeting and phasing BKF Grants recently completed a comprehensive Funding Assessment for SLOCOG, demonstrating our deep understanding of the regional funding landscape. This assessment was specifically conducted to identify funding opportunities for transportation and water/ sewer projects needed to meet the RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) goals of SLOCOG cities. The BKF Grants Team analyzed over 120 state and federal grant programs, aligning them with SLOCOG's project pipeline of over 80 different projects to identify optimal funding matches that support both transportation and housing objectives. Notably, the Prado Interchange Project was identified as one of the Top Matched Framework Projects most likely to secure funding. This designation underscores the project's strong alignment with current grant program priorities, its competitive positioning, and its potential to support regional housing goals. Our intimate knowledge of both the project and the funding environment positions BKF uniquely to leverage this assessment, enhancing our grant pursuit strategy for the Prado Interchange. By building on this existing work, we can tailor applications to emphasize the project elements that resonate most strongly with target grant programs and their connection facilitating housing development, potentially increato sing the likelihood of successful awards. The BKF Grants and Funding Team also excels in securing and managing debt financing for municipal infrastructure projects, specifically through bonds and loans, leveraging their extensive experience and strategic partnerships. Our Director of Funding Strategies, who also serves as a city council member, recently helped the City acquire over $7 million in grants and loans to replace a key city bridge. By working closely with the City, we ensure that debt financing aligns with long-term fiscal plans and project goals, facilitating the successful completion of critical infrastructure improvements like the Prado Rd. Bridge Replacement & Multimodal Corridor Enhancements. BKF's Grants Team doesn [just write applications — we serve as strategic partners throughout the entire project lifecycle. From initial conceptualization through final design and construction, we will work diligently to secure the funding needed to bring the Prado Interchange Project to fruition. Our holistic approach to grant support will maximize the City's competitiveness across multiple funding sources, potentially reducing local fiscal burden and accelerating project delivery. PROJECT APPROACH BKF will actively monitor and develop solutions to each of the above critical issues in order to ensure the right alternative is developed, advances in the PS&E phase, and a preferred alternative is identified for the PS&E phase. We plan to complete a thorough review of the preliminary design based on the issues outlined in order to provide the Project with the a more streamlined final design process. The developed alternatives will be vetted and evaluated by BKF and stakeholders early in the PS&E phase because it will determine the level of effort required by the entire Project Development Team (PDT). To ensure this occurs, we have developed a detailed work plan based on our recent experience with similar Caltrans project, especially those concerning corridor improvements. BKF's project approach philosophy integrates the following key components: managing the process through effective Project Management; defining the critical constraints through the alternative analysis phase; developing coordinated documents as part of the PS&E phase; and validating information through our expertise and Quality Assurance/Quality Control program. © O Manage Defn- ee{o ra ida= COMPONENT I: MANAGING THE PROCESS • Project work Plan: Jaggi and Gordon will meet with the City to ensure that we understand the Project's goals, objectives, and priorities. We will confirm the strategy and Project expectations with the City in City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 anal Prado Road Interchange Pr jest 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH order to develop an accurate and detailed work plan that builds off the key and critical tasks already identified in the Project Understanding. We intend for this work plan and schedule to be a living document that we update, as necessary, to reflect the progress and needs of the Project. Team Organization: BKF's work plan is based on the Project team organization and the coordination between the BKF Team members. Illustrating the partnering and BKF's leadership role is the organization chart within Section 3, Qualifications, of this proposal. The BKF Team is staffed with the resources and know-how required to complete the PS&E phase based on the Project's objectives and goals on schedule and within the allocated budget. Additionally, the continuity and long tenure among our key staff, 17 years minimum, is evidence in that the personnel who we have assigned are innately experienced and committed to this Project. Defined Schedule: BKF's work plan is based on the detailed schedule provided section S. This detailed schedule includes dates for specific tasks and will be updated on a monthly basis in support of the City and the ongoing coordination with stakeholders. The schedule is a critical tool for the BKF Team, the City and other stakeholders to help plan, strategize task delivery and project flow, and track progress throughout the course of the Project. Design Fee: BKF has developed a detailed fee for our team's services based on the work plan and schedule, and will closely monitor that the BKF Team's "burn rate" is consistent with the status of the design. By simultaneously tracking cost and schedule, BKF will establish budgetary regulation, ensure resources are efficiently utilized on a task by task basis, and duplication or work is avoided. BKF has a diversified and well -versed team that we regularly partner with on similar Caltrans highway projects with federal funding. We intentionally selected these partners on this pursuit in order to give us flexibility and ensure efficiency based on their understanding of delivering Caltrans projects. Project Development Team (PDT): The Project Team extends beyond BKF to the City and Caltrans. The BKF Team has consistently worked together for over 17 years and is well organized and coordinated. We understand each other's roles and will use our extensive skills to be critical of each other's work in order to enhance the work product and develop final design documents that maximize project benefits while controlling costs. Our working relationship with the City and Caltrans will advance the project approval process as decisions and resolutions can be made quickly due to our ability to reach out and be able to discuss challenges and work together to develop amenable solutions. COMPONENT 2: DEFINING CRITICAL ISSUES We have outlined several critical issues we see with the current preliminary engineering design in the Draft Project Report earlier in this section. The work cited below identifies our approach to thoroughly refine the design with the the City, build off the critical issues already identified earlier, and carry them through PS&E given the challenges described earlier: • Documenting Existing Conditions and Information: Obtaining pertinent existing information, evaluating the information and developing adequate documentation to establish existing Project conditions related to traffic conditions, surrounding land uses and constraints, location of utilities and surface appurtenances and existing substandard elements, is essential to facilitating any updated traffic analysis, geometric refinements and project costs. • Field Review and Basis of Design: BKF will review the site to understand constraints that may affect the design. We will also confirm the aerial mapping completed and perform limited supplemental topographic surveys to facilitate final design, and resolve right of way mapping, to acquire information that is vital to facilitate the right of way acquisition needs, including cost estimating to ensure accuracy. • Confirmation of Project Design: As part of Phase 1 of the scope of services, it is important that the City and Project stakeholders, with BKF, evaluate the preliminary engineering design in the PR and reach consensus that each address the need and purpose of the project in consideration of all Project elements, including those that consider context sensitivity at potentially the sacrifice of other Project components. The decision of how best to address the critical issues identified will dictate the success of the final design phase and ultimately construction. • Defining Risk: Risk assessment is a key to managing the overall design, approval, implementation and costs of a Project. Coordination, preparation, and development of City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 and Prado Road Interchange Project 3. ORGANIZATION & APPROACH a risk management plan (RMP) and Risk Register is not only a PS&E requirement, but will prove invaluable in identifying, managing, tracking, and resolving individual risks to obtain Project approval. BKF is conscientious of this and will build on the key challenges already described earlier in this section. COMPONENT 3: DEVELOPING COORDINATED PLANS, REPORTS, AND DOCUMENTS Documents: BKF will develop the plans, reports, studies, and approval documents throughout the course of the PS&E phase and will submit drafts (following the administrative draft) to the City prior to the formal Caltrans review. During critical decision -making periods, BKF may request focus meetings orjoint resolution team TRT) meetings with the City (and/or Caltrans as needed) to ensure all aspects of the design and approval documents are clearly understood with comments incorporated. Coordination: The communication conduit with the City will be Jaggi. This single point of contact eliminates possible misunderstandings and duplication of effort. Jaggi will be responsible for leading and solving technical challenges, while developing the design in accordance with Caltrans requirements. BKF recognizes that timely communications between the client and design team is essential. Our experience has shown that a mix of regular meetings and focus meetings with detailed written communication can provide the necessary exchange of ideas and information. Selection of Preferred Alternatives: A key milestone in the project delivery process will be selecting the preferred overcrossing alternative that will advance to the PS&E phase. BKF understands this critical step occurs with the PDT after the Draft Environmental Document/Draft Project Report, public circulation, and response to comments process occurs, but prior to NEPA assignment. Although we are not part of this particular PA/ED phase, we assume Alternative A3 will be selected, and the City will determine the outcome prior to initiating the PS&E phase with Caltrans. COMPONENT 4: VALIDATING INFORMATION BKF's Quality Management System, is notjust the final checking of our deliverables; it involves the proactive activities of quality assurance (QA) and reactive activities of quality control (QC), and collectively define the speck planning, review, roles/responsibilities and project management control activities. This integration of specific planning, training, scheduled reviews/audits, and dynamic refinements throughout the management and project delivery process, is a key to our project approach. • Internal QA/QC: BKF will complete an internal review of all project documents. Carmelo, under direct communication with Jaggi and Gordon, will be the QA/QC Engineer. He will confirm and document the QA/QC process that occurs based on the Contractor Quality Management Plan (CAMP) established with the City for this Project. This CAMP will be a requirement as part of the Caltrans PS&E phase, so BKF will develop this document to ensure compliance with the Caltrans approval process. • Close Communications: Close communication demonstrates another key element of quality. In any project, it is essential that the Project Manager carefully communicate the project issues and progress to the City, we will communicate and integrate Caltrans and stakeholder feedback through our quality management system. • Quality Assurance: Quality assurance strategies will be achieved by establishing and improving standard processes and procedures, through a CAMP. The CAMP will define proactive activities throughout the course of the project, including requirements for independent checking and peer review of all documents. • Quality Control: Based on the CIA strategies defined in the CQMP, QC activities will prevent defects or errors by checking work products and correcting issues identified. • Probable Costs: Evaluating the potential construction cost throughout the PS&E phase is essential to create an accurately programmed project and funding plan, especially due to the notable CCCI increases identified in Component 2. LIKE is consistently involved in the design and construction of numerous projects that include anything from large-scale capital highway projects to rural roadway projects, that provide excellent insight into construction trends and costs. With each submittal, BIKE will prepare an opinion of cost to assist in developing a project budget. With LIKES four -component approach, a detailed work plan, and continuous monitoring, we believe that partnering is both aligned and reinforced. This ensures that the City, together with BKF's leadership and our team's technical expertise, will meet the projects goals and objectives for a successful PS&E Caltrans project. City of San Luis Obispo I US 101 and Pnado Road Interchange Pr jea 57 %� Final Engineering Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) - Scope of Services Although the findings and recommendations of the PANED phase work are pending final approval, the BKF Team assumes Alternative 3A will advance into the PS&E phase for scoping purposes.

(4) Pre -Construction Record of Survey to record existing site monumentation (5) Post -Construction Record of Survey to set any new monuments that may be proposed during the project Site visits will be conducted to verify that record information is accurate and meetings will be held with the City to confirm upcoming projects and developments that may affect project base files. 4. SCOPE OF SERVICES /I ii. Draft Geotechnical Report Parikh Consultants, Inc. will prepare one draft Foundation Report (FR), a separate Geotechnical Design Report (GDR), and a Pavement Design Memorandum (PDM). The FRs will include recommendations for the overcrossing over Highway 101, the elevated north bound on and off ramp structures, respectively. The GDR will include recommendations for the proposed embankment, overhead sign structures, and culvert extensions. The PDM will present the pavement design. If preferred by Caltrans D5, the GDR and PDM can be combined into a single, comprehensive document, Geotechnical Design and Materials Report (GDMR). Parikh Consultants, Inc. will conduct engineering evaluations, such as development of seismic design criteria, liquefaction potential, pile capacities, bearing capacities, slope stability, settlement evaluation, lateral earth pressures, and corrosion potential (supporting the drainage improvements). Pavement recommendations will be developed according to the Caltrans standard, i.e., CaIME design method. Draft reports will be submitted as part of the 65% design package. Comments on the draft reports will be incorporated, and the reports will be finalized during the 90% and 100% design phase. iii. Stormwater Quality Investigation and PCR Implementation BKF will conduct a thorough Stormwater Quality Investigation by assessing current water quality levels and identifying pollutants within the project area. This includes evaluating existing stormwater management practices and infrastructure, as well as implementing Pollution Control Requirements (PCR) to mitigate adverse impacts. This investigation could include US 101/Prado Road lmemhange Projed— PS&E BKF ENGINEERS identifying pollutant sources, drainage systems, treatment facilities, and compliance with relevant environmental regulations and standards. iv. Final Geotechnical Report with VA Recommendations Parikh Consultants, Inc. will prepare three (3) foundation reports for the overcrossing over Highway 101, the elevated north bound on and off ramp structures, respectively, which include retaining walls immediately adjacent to the bridge structures per Caltrans foundation report guidelines. Parikh Consultants, Inc. will perform engineering analyses and develop design recommendations for the proposed bridge foundation and retaining wall design based on the available boring data. The design will follow Caltrans standard and AASHTO LRFD guidelines (8th edition, September 2017) with California amendment 2019. The engineering analyses may include development of seismic design criteria, i.e., ARS curve, liquefaction potential, foundation design (axial/lateral capacity for deep foundations and bearing capacity/settlement evaluation for the shallow foundation), slope stability, lateral earth pressures, settlement evaluation, and corrosion potential. Although liquefiable soils may exist, the overall impact may not be insignificant since the liquefiable soils do not appear to be continuous. Therefore, a site -specific dynamic ground response analysis (DGRA) is not included. Consequently, lateral spreading analyses and mitigation are not included either. Three preliminary foundation reports (PFR) will be prepared as part of the 35% design for type selection purposes, and two draft foundation 4. SCOPE OF SERVICES /I reports (DFR) will be prepared as part of the 65% design package based on the selected foundation type and the input from the structural engineers. The final report will address the review comments of the client with any design updates at the 90% and 100% design phase, and the design recommendations will be finalized accordingly. Complementing the geotechnical work in support of the PS&E package, will be the development of log of test boring (LOTB) sheets for inclusion in the design plans. Using the general plan as a base map, the BKF Team will provide LOTB in the design plan sheets supporting the structure plan sheets. V. Update Location Hydraulic Study from PA/ED with VA Recommendations Building upon the detailed PDR/LHS during the PANED phase, a hydrology/hydraulic study in the form of a PS&E level drainage report (DR) and location hydraulic study (LHS) will be developed at the PS&E phase to document all drainage improvements meet all applicable requirement of the latest edition of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual and Caltrans Memo to Designers 16-1 Hydraulic Design for Structures Over Waterways. BKF will assess drainage shed areas developed from topography (ABC mapping and topographic surveys), along with field reviews, supplemental field survey and the proposed ramp/auxiliary lane and retaining wall/bridge widening improvements to develop a hydrology map. The Hydrology Map will provide the basis for hydraulic calculations of all storm drainage improvements. Tributary areas will be defined, and flow rates calculated for all conveyance US 101/Prado Road lmemhange Projed— PS&E BKF ENGINEERS facilities including gutters, inlets, ditches and culverts. Calculations will verify inlet intercept capacities and prove inlet are spaced correctly per the correct design storm and no standing water is left on the travel lanes. Hydraulic calculations will also verify all culverts systems are sized correctly, provide self-cleaning velocities and provide hydraulic grade lines to prove adequate freeboard is provided throughout the system. Full documentation of Hydromodification compliance will also be documented here should additional facilities above and beyond what will be needed to meet stormwater treatment will be required to meet HM compliance. Location Hydraulic Study will pick up where the preliminary LHS study left off. Besides providing documentation of the base flood encroachment, water surface elevation and support the PS&E (type selection) process. The report will provide full scour analysis and provide appropriate armoring (rock slope protection or otherwise) recommendations.

TASK 1J: 50% DESIGN SUBMITTAL i. Project plans at the 50% level and cost estimate The BKF team through WG will develop the 50% design plans and cost estimate for the Elks Lane realignment, which we anticipate will be incorporated into the overall interchange plans and cost estimate. The design concept approved in the PANED phase will be refined and provided by BKF for project team use in the development of the 50% plans and estimate. BKF staff will design the US 101 ramps and Prado Road, including the intersection with Elks Lane. Based on the PA/ED developed Geometric US 101/Prado Road Interchange Project— PS&E BKF ENGINEERS Plans for Project Alternatives, including the identification of the single, preferred alternative approved and environmentally cleared under the FPR and FED, BKF will develop 50% level engineering drawings, in order to move forward with PS&E support tasks. The engineering drawings will include layout, limits of grading, typical cross sections, profiles, anticipated demolition, preliminary drainage facilities, utility plans, and preliminary R/W requirements. Although the PANED design and 50% PS&E should not be radically different, design changes are expected moving forward, including the likelihood that the project design and footprint may change slightly and/or evolve during this task, it is important to the City, Caltrans and the BKF Team to establish a solid basis of design early -on in the PS&E phase, in order to allow for a consistent benchmark and development of all design -level studies, analyses, and technical reporting. For example, the 50% civil plans will be used to confirm (1) geotechnical/hazardous-materials workplan, testing, and investigations (2) Type Selection Process, (3) Establishing R/W and Utility Impacts and Initiating Utility and R/W Investigations, (4) Initiating a myriad of technical studies, including Drainage and Stormwater Data Report, and (5) Supplemental Survey/Topo for design. Furthermore, in the event there is design deviation or changes that affect the environmental study limits and that which was cleared under CEQA/NEPA, environmental revalidation, or even a supplemental project report(SPR) could be triggered. Similarly — if the design development yields new (or revised) deviations to approved utility policy exceptions and/or non-standard design features, 4. SCOPE OF SERVICES /I supplemental or new documentation (UPER or DSDD) could also be required as part of the PS&E/RTL process.

Potholing will be conducted with the use of nondestructive digging equipment at critical points (pothole) to determine the precise horizontal and vertical position of underground utilities, as well as the type, size, condition, material, and other characteristics, shall be conducted at key project locations. Utility Potholing (PH) assumptions include: • 8-feet depth (average) • Schedule for USA markings / Utility Locate If Applicable / Create Traffic Control Plans and • Submit to Caltrans/City and Provide Traffic Control • Restore all potholes per Caltrans/City specifications Since the utility requirements/locations and actual number of investigations are not yet known, 2 days (8-hours each) of utility potholing (site) investigations and traffic control (shoulder closure only) have been assumed. V. Coordination with PG&E to initiate undergrounding design (temporary and permanent) The City is seeking to create an undergrounding district to relocate all overhead utilities in the project area, with the exception of the large PG&E transmission lines. Based on team experience with the Prado Road Bridge 4. SCOPE OF SERVICES /I Widening project, we anticipate the following process: • Draft of a proposed undergrounding ordinance. WG will develop an exhibit of the limits for the undergrounding ordinance which will encompass the project limits of Prado Road west of US 101 and conform with the limits set by the bridge widening project on the east side of State R/W. Note that we anticipate that BKF will PTRs. Once the limits of the ordinance have been reviewed and confirmed by the City, WG will develop up to two legal descriptions to support the ordinance and a Letter of Engineering Necessity highlighting the difficultly of relocation and benefits of undergrounding. We anticipate one round of City review prior to submitting signed final versions. • The City will provide notice to neighborhoods affected by this proposal. • The City will hold a public meeting to inform the public of the proposal. • The ordinance will be presented at a City Council Meeting for the 1st Public Hearing. • The ordinance will be approved at a second City Council Meeting (2nd hearing of ordinance). • Initiate coordination with PG&E and other affected utility owners to initiate undergrounding design. We anticipate coordinating with PG&E prior to the other affected utility owners, since they tend US 101/Prado Road lmemhange Projed— PS&E BKF ENGINEERS to lead the process. WG will meet with PG&E up to three times to discuss the specifics of their relocation and undergrounding to identify limits of joint trenching and locations of temporary and permanent structures. V. Coordination with all dry Utilities (AT&T, Charter, Astound, Lumen) to initiate undergrounding design (temporary and permanent) Once PG&E's design has been established, our team will coordinate a large group meeting with the other dry utilities (City, Astound, AT&T, Charter, and Lumen) to initiate their undergrounding design. We anticipate up to three meetings with the full undergrounding team. It's anticipated that the City's Contractor will install thejoint trench ducts, vaults, and concrete pads, and the private utility companies will run their lines through the ducts and install their above -ground facilities on the provided concrete pads. WG will develop compositejoint trench plans and spreadsheet for tracking number and size of conduits. vi. Determination of additional ROW needs for utilities participating in undergrounding WG will assist in determining right of way needs for the utility undergrounding, appraisal and acquisition services will be provided by others. We anticipate delineating proposed easements in an AutoCAD file for BKF to use. vii.

We will provide notes and updated coordination exhibits to aid in the discussions and document decisions. ix. "B" Letters to each utility After the Draft 65% ME and before the Draft 90% PS&E milestones, WG will prepare draft "B" Letters (also known as "Notice to Owners") for the City to review. These letters serve to inform affected utility owners of known/identified conflict locations of their utility facilities with the proposed project. X. "C" Letters to each utility During the Draft Final 90% PS&E design phase and after appropriate parties have agreed on a relocation plan, we will work with the City to help send the utility companies a "C" letter, which is a Utility Agreement. The Utility Agreement will spell out each party's responsibilities for utility relocation, such as timing of relocation and payment for the relocation. WG will provide the City with draft final "C" letters and assist the City with this coordination; however, it is anticipated that affected utility facility owners will provide utility agreements to the City for their review and action directly and US 101/Prado Road Imerchange Projed— PS&E BKF ENGINEERS we will assist in the review of those documents with the City. A. Assistance with agreements for every utility in the area xii.

SCOPE OF SERVICES AN owners for purposes of performing hazardous waste, archeological and other inspections. WG will provide field staking for proposed right of way takes. We will coordinate with BKF and the City prior to field staking to determine which proposed takes require staking and how the staking should appear, if any particulars are required. As this effort will take place often on private property, we will closely coordinate and schedule these activities in close communication with BKF and the City. Upon completion of the field work we will provide the client with a point plot showing the locations of the stakes. For budgeting purposes, we have included four field survey days and associated office support (approximately 40 hours each) to complete this task. We have also assumed that this task will not require staking on existing property lines and will therefore not require a possible record of survey map and setting of monuments. viii. Assistance with Two (2) closed session City Council Meetings to authorize payment to owner Promptly transmit executed documents (acquisition agreements, executed deeds, rental agreements, statements of information, offset statements, and the like) to the City for acceptance and processing.

The scoping of these requirements will be included in a later phase when the impact to property and potential survey monumentation is better known. BKF ENGINEERS xiii. Business Relocation Assistance The Monument Team excels with swift resolution of business relocations knowing that businesses require as little disruption as possible. Time is money for these entities and Monument works diligently to understand the needs of each unique business. Promptly after the initiation of negotiations to purchase the property, a Notice of Relocation Eligibility will be delivered to the business occupying the property. This formal notification informs the business owner of the date he or she becomes eligible to receive relocation entitlements, including moving expenses, related moving expenses, reestablishment expenses or the fixed moving payment. A business may select a self -move, a commercial move, or a fixed -payment (based on income) move. The Relocation Agent will prepare a complete inventory of personal property and trade fixtures, prepare a Request for Proposal (moving specification), and obtain at least two bids from licensed and bonded moving companies. The Agent then provides a recommendation to the Relocation Manager of the lowest acceptable bid. The business has the option of using that commercial mover or based upon that approved bid and the request for proposal, performing the move themselves or hiring a different commercial mover to perform the move but cannot pay more than the approved bid amount. After a decision has been made, the Agent will monitor each move to ensure compliance with all regulations and agreements. The business is also eligible for reestablishment expenses up to a maximum in the state of California of $50,000. Reestablishment expenses may include repairs or improvements to the replacement real property as required by federal, state, local law, codes or ordinances; US 101/Prado Road Interchange Projed- PS&E 4. SCOPE OF SERVICES /I modifications to the replacement property to accommodate the business operation or make replacement structure suitable for conducting business; construction and installation costs for exterior signing to advertise the business; redecoration or replacement of soiled or worn surfaces; advertising of replacement location; and estimated increased costs for two years at the replacement site for such items as lease or rent charges, personal or real property taxes, insurance premiums and utility charges. The Relocation Agent works with the business owner to obtain reasonable documentation to support moving and reestablishment claims and all other moving expenses such as Substitute Personal Property/Direct Loss of Tangible Personal Property Payment Computation, Related Moving Expenses, and Search Expenses. Once a displaced business has selected a replacement location, the Relocation Agent will assist the displaced business in obtaining all documentation necessary to receive entitlements. The Relocation Manager will then submit the moving package to the City for approval. During the course of providing relocation assistance, the Relocation Agent will maintain a detailed diary of all contacts made and services provided to the displaced business. All relocation computations will be thoroughly reviewed by Monument's QA/QC Manager prior to presenting any recommended relocation entitlement or claim packet to City for their review and approval. The BKF Team will coordinate the preparation of the Right of Way Certification. A Draft Right of Way Certification will be prepared in accordance with the Caltrans Right of Way Manual and submitted to Caltrans for approval. Supporting documentation will be submitted along with the Right of Way Certification, including right of way contracts; Orders for BKF ENGINEERS Prejudgment Possession; diary notes; right of way sufficiency forms; Agreements for Possession and Use; and deeds. The BKF Team will coordinate processing of the Right of Way Certification with Caltrans.
