SUBJECT: BRIDGE SEISMIC RETROFIT - APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DOKKEN ENGINEERING
RECOMMENDATIONS:

Dokken Engineering for bridge seismic retrofit design and construction support,
and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
2. Approve a Budget Amendment appropriating $14,500.00 from the Gas Tax Fund
Balance, 180 -3605, to account 7181- C5100695, increasing revenue estimates in
Contributions Federal Highway Funds, 250 -4880, by $240,000.00, and
appropriating $176,147.00 to account 7251- C5100695.
DISCUSSION:
The 1971 San Fernando earthquake exposed a number of deficiencies in the State of
California's ( Caltrans') bridge design methods. Caltrans determined that all bridges
within the State should be made capable of surviving a maximum credible earthquake.
Some damage was felt to be inevitable, but collapse was believed to be preventable
with appropriate "seismic retrofitting ".
Caltrans' seismic retrofit program was initiated immediately after the earthquake. Its
initial objective was to ensure the continuity of all superstructure joints in bridges which
could be subject to large ground accelerations. The effort was completed in 1987, after
some 1,300 State highway system bridges had been thus retrofitted.
The City shared in this effort by retrofitting the Balboa Island Bridge in 1980. Cable
restrainers and piles were added to join the ten segments together and reduce the
effects of liquefaction upon the bridge during earthquakes, thus meeting the then -
current seismic standards. Likewise, the Lido Isle and Little Island bridges were
retrofitted in 1984, all at the City's sole expense.

The October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake brought about a second phase of bridge
seismic retrofit in which all 12,000 publicly -owned bridges within the State would be
reanalyzed to determine their resistance to collapse due to a large earthquake. Special
attention was focused upon substructures; i.e., bridge foundations.
In 1990, City staff began working with Caltrans officials to expedite this second phase
seismic analysis upon the City's ten bridges. Using a "qualifications - based" selection
process, the City retained Dokken Engineering, a well- respected, Sacramento -based
bridge design firm, to prepare a detailed seismic analysis and report upon the bridges
and to present their findings in a "Strategy Meeting" at Caltrans' Sacramento offices.
Various alternatives for strategy to retrofit the bridges were considered; however,
Caltrans did not issue approval and State- approved funding to proceed with design.
In 1994 Caltrans changed its methodology for bridge seismic analysis. Dokken
prepared another analysis and report, and again presented their findings in a retrofit
strategy meeting. There was no response until 1996, when Caltrans published a
"mandatory seismic retrofit list ", which indicated three City bridges (Balboa Island, Lido
Isle, and Newport Island) that were most likely to succumb to a large earthquake. They
then approved 80% Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) funding
provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and 20% State Seismic
Retrofit funding to design and construct the retrofits for the three bridges, and issued
approval to proceed with work on the three bridges. The City did so, and the retrofits
were completed on the three bridges by January of 1999.
Now, the next four most likely -to- succumb City -owned bridges (the northbound and
southbound Jamboree Road bridges over San Diego Creek, the Goldenrod Avenue
Pedestrian Bridge over Bayside Drive, and the Little Island Bridge over Grand Canal)
are in line for seismic strengthening. Dokken has prepared an analysis and report for
the four bridges and again presented their findings in a retrofit strategy meeting.
Caltrans has agreed as to retrofit strategy, and staff desires to proceed with design.
A decision must be made as to whether the Park Avenue (Little Island) Bridge over
Grand Canal should be seismically retrofit or replaced in its entirety. This decision will
take time, inasmuch as noise, traffic delay, pile driving, parking, inconvenience to the
community, emergency access, etc., during construction must be weighed against cost,
anticipated structural life and aesthetics for a retrofitted bridge versus a new
replacement bridge. Accordingly, staff recommends retrofitting the other three bridges
while issues concerning the Little Island bridge retrofit versus replacement are being
resolved.
Dokken has proposed to provide design and construction support services for the three
bridges. Since Dokken has heretofore provided good service to the City and their
scope of services and not -to- exceed fee of $278,848.00 seems appropriate for the work
that must be performed, staff recommends that the City Council approve a PSA with
Dokken (see attached draft Professional Services Agreement).
The FHWA requires that a "Pre -award Audit" be performed on a consulting firm prior to
entering into a federally- funded PSA that exceeds $250,000.00. The audit determines

October 26, 2004

if the consultant's accounting system is adequate to accumulate and segregate costs in
accordance with Federal regulations.
Since Dokken's proposed fees will exceed $250,000.00, Staff requested Caltrans to
perform a gratis audit of Dokken. Caltrans determined that a reduced scope review of
the City's draft PSA is sufficient in lieu of an audit, provided that certain provisions be
added to the PSA (see attached letter from Department of Transportation). Staff has
added these provisions the City's draft PSA.
Due to the State's financial distress, it is no longer providing the 20% funding for retrofit
projects; however, the 80% HBRR funding, which is administered by Caltrans, is still
available to reimburse the City for all design, permit, construction, and construction
administration costs for the City's three - bridge project. The City will have to fund the
remaining 20% that the State previously provided.
Funding Availability:
The current budget includes $109,353.00 for the project. To complete the amount
needed for award, permits, reproductions, and other expenses concerning the project,
the remaining $190,647.00 must be appropriated through the recommended budget
amendment. Upon its approval, sufficient funds will be available in the following
accounts for the project:

RE: Seismic Retrofit of Goldenrod POC and San Diego Creek Bridges
Proposal for Engineering Services
Dear Mr. Dalton,
Please find attached our proposal to provide professional engineering services for
the design of seismic retrofit improvements to the Goldenrod POC and San Diego
Creek bridges. Our proposed services include the optional tasks of designing
either the retrofit or replacement of the Grand Canal bridge. We have also
included an optional task to provide full construction management services for all
of these bridges. We have not provided fees or detailed work scopes for the
optional tasks, as the exact nature of the construction management services will
not be determined before the completion of the environmental documentation and
permitting. The scope of work for the Grand Canal bridge structure will, of course,
vary substantially depending on whether the structure is retrofitted or replaced.
Mr. Matthew W. Salveson, P.E., will be the project manager for this work and will
be the City's main point of contact. Mr. Salveson has managed and designed
numerous bridge seismic retrofit projects, including three bridges in Newport
Beach. He has also been responsible for the construction management of 18
seismic retrofit projects. He will be assisted by key engineer staff with extensive
HBRR seismic retrofit experience. Our subconsultants include Mr. King Thomas
of LSA Associates. Mr. Thomas is a resident of Newport Beach and is very
familiar with the local environmental constraints and challenges. Mr. Gary Parikh
of Parikh Consultants (DBE), will provide geotechnical design services. Both
subconsultants have a long history of completing successful transportation
projects with Dokken Engineering. An organizational chart is attached. Detailed
resumes of key staff can be provided at the City's request.
I have attached a detailed cost proposal, including anticipated manhours and
budget for each task and subtask. The loaded rates shown on the cost proposal
are calculated based upon our Caltrans audited loaded rates. We propose to
provide these services on an hourly- not -to- exceed basis. I have also attached a
copy of our current rate schedule.

TASK 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSES: SAN DIEGO CREEK BRIDGES
Task 2.1 Project Initiation
Prior to the kick -off meeting, LSA Associates will review existing information and prepare adraf t Preliminary
Environmental Study (PES) form per Caltrans Local Assistance Guidelines. The draft PES form will be discussed and
finalized at the kick- off /field meeting. The final PES form approved by Caltrans will define the environmental scope
of services including the technical studies and the level of the environmental document for the project.
Task 2.2 Technical Reports
LSA Associates will prepare the following technical reports for the project in support of the CE /CE:
Task 2.2.1 Noise Impact Analysis
LSA Associates will prepare a noise impact analysis per City and Caltrans guidelines and requirements. The
technical study will present a description of the existing land uses, existing noise levels, and applicable Federal,
State ( Caltrans), and City of Newport Beach guidelines, ordinances, and regulations.
Sample measurements of ambient noise will be performed by an acoustical specialist to document the existing
noise environment. The measured existing ambient noise levels will be used to assess whether a substantial
increase in noise level with project implementation would occur per Caltrans criteria. Short-term noise
measurements will be recorded at up to four (4) locations using noise level analysis /monitors to characterize
the motor vehicular noise environment. The appendix will Include a presentation of noise fundamentals.
The proposed project is a retrofit project that will not significantly alter the horizontal or vertical alignments of
the roadway. Therefore, the proposed bridge improvements would not affect vehicular traffic. No traffic-
related noise impact would be evaluated.
Construction noise impacts from stationary and mobile equipment, such as pile driving or trucks, will be
addressed. Noise and its impacts will be discussed. Noise abatement measures designed to reduce noise
impacts to acceptable noise levels will be identified where necessary.
Task 2,2.2 Hazardous Waste Initial Site Assessment (ISA)
LSA Associates will prepare an ISA in accordance with Caltrans guidelines and in general accordance with the
American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Designation E 1597 -00, Standard Practice for Environmental
Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. The following tasks will be conducted as
part of this evaluation:
LSA Associates will conduct an agency records database search to identify hazardous waste sites located
within the ASTM radius of the project site and classified as hazardous waste under State law. The
records search will also identify business types located within the ASTM radius that store, transfer, or
utilize large quantities of hazardous materials. This information will be obtained from records
maintained by Federal, State and local agencies. LSA Associates will utilize a database service to
perform this search.
Historic land use information for the Area of Potential Effects (APE) will be reviewed to determine
whether previous uses in the project area may have resulted in hazardous waste contamination. This
information includes historic aerial photographs, historic USGS maps, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, Oil
and Gas maps, available groundwater depth /flow data, City directories, County Assessor's data, and
building permits.
LSA Associates will conduct a visual survey of the APE via public right -of -way to identify any obvious
area of hazardous waste contamination. Access to private property or City right -of -way shall be
provided by the Lead Agency.
• If hazardous waste sites are identified within the APE (via governmental records and /or the visual
survey), LSA Associates will review available public records at the appropriate oversight agency to
determine the potential impact to the project.
• LSA Associates will prepare a report that presents findings and recommendations based on the site
survey and historical records review.

Task 2.2.3 Biological Studies
A list of sensitive species that may be present in the project area will be compiled from the California Natural
Diversity Data Base and the California Native Plant Society electronic inventory. A letter requesting a list of
federally listed species potentially occurring within the project area will be sent to the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries (NOAA fisheries). In
addition, LSA Associates will review the information for designated critical habitat and determine if the proposed
project will impact critical habitat. Field surveys will be conducted to assess the likelihood of these sensitive
species occurring on the project site and to identify other species and habitats within the project boundaries,
including surveys for sensitive marine biological resources by a qualified marine biologist.
In order to perform the biological work efficiently, these surveys should be done during the spring flowering
period for the sensitive plant species that may occur in the project vicinity. The need for any focused
assessments of particular resources (e.g., an endangered species survey according to USFWS Protocol), which
are not included in this proposal, will also be identified. During the field surveys, areas that may be subject to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and /or California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), as waters of
the U.S. or waters of the State, will be delineated and mapped using Geographic Information System (GIS)
technology,
Please note that while the invasive algae (Caulerpa taxifolia) do not currently grow in Newport Bay, agencies
are now requiring surveys for the invasive algae prior to and following project implementation where disturbing
activities (e.g., dredging, pile installation /removal) have a potential to spread this fast growing nuisance
species. An initial invasive algae survey will be conducted at the same time of the proposed marine resources
survey and the results will be included in the report. In addition, agencies mandate that pre - construction
surveys be conducted to ensure that this species is not present at the time of the project. Therefore,
surveillance -level surveys must be completed no more than 90 days prior to beginning construction activities for
the bridge retrofit project and the geotechnical borings, and no less than 30 days prior to beginning these
activities. Pre - construction surveys for invasive a gae will be conducted on the project site for the area under
the bridge and within 30 feet of each side of the bridge. If surveys are required for a larger area, the scope and
budget may need to be modified accordingly.
The information collected during the above tasks will be utilized to complete the background information for
permit applications, as well as CEQA /NEPA documents. A delineation report identifying the jurisdictional areas
within the project area will be prepared and submitted to the Corps and the CDFG for verification of the
jurisdictional boundaries within the project area prior to submitting the permit applications. Prior to submitting
the delineation report to the resource agencies, a draft copy of the report will be submitted to Dokken
Engineering for review. As federal funds will be used for this project, the report will be in the format of a
Natural Environment Study (NES) report, according to Caltrans guidelines and procedures.
Task 2.3 Section 4(f) Evaluation
The San Diego Creek bicycle trail crosses under the Jamboree Road bridges over San Diego Creek. The bicycle trail
will be used for temporary access to the bridges during construction of the project. Section 4(f) prohibits the use of
land from a publicly owned park, or recreational area by a federally funded transportation project unless certain
determinations can be made. As a publicly owned recreation area, the bicycle trail falls under the requirements of
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. 303) of 1966. This project meets the criteria for a
Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation. Therefore, in compliance with Section 4(f), LSA Associates will prepare a
Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for review and approval by Caltrans / FHWA to address temporary impacts to
the bicycle trail.
Task 2.4 Air Quality
The proposed project is a retrofit project that will improve the safety of the existing bridge. Therefore, per Table
of 40 CFR 93.134, the proposed project is exempt from all emissions analyses. No air quality analysis is required.
Task 2.5 Cultural Resources
Task 2.5.1 Native American Consultation
LSA Associates will conduct Native American consultation with entities whose names will be provided by the
Native American Heritage Commission.

City of Newport Beach
Task 2.5.2 Area of Potential Effects Map
LSA Associates will develop an Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map.
Task 2.5.3 Records Search
An archaeological and historical records review and literature search will be conducted through the South
Central Coastal Information Center of the California Historic Resources Information System (CHRIS). The
objective is: (1) to establish the status and extent of previously recorded sites, surveys, and excavations in the
APE, and (2) to note what site types might be expected to occur within the proposed APE.
Task 2.5.4 Archeological Survey
Based on the records search, a systematic on -site pedestrian survey will be conducted to determine the
presence of archeological resources on previously unsurveyed property. Previously recorded sites within the
APE will be field checked, and existing site records will be updated consistent with the guidelines established by
the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP).
Task 2.S.S Architectural Survey
An architectural survey will be conducted to: (1) determine the presence of buildings within the area of effect,
and (2) record those that require historic evaluation.
Task 2.5.6 Reports
Depending on the resultsof the archaeological and architectural surveys, various reports will be completed.
Following Is a description of the reports LSA Associates anticipates the need to complete for this project.
• Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR). This cover document for all cultural reports will be
completed. It is anticipated that both archaeological and architectural findings will be negative.
Therefore, this proposal is based on completing a negative HPSR.
Archaeological Survey Report (ASR). Following the archaeological survey, an ASR will be
completed. This report will discuss the findings of the records search and survey. It is anticipated that
archaeological findings will be negative.
Task 2.6 Draft Categorical Exemption (CE)
Based on the project being constructed primarily within existing City right -of -way (minor or no right -of -way
acquisitions required), requiring only minor alterations to existing street widths and not adding additional traffic
capacity (no new through traffic lanes), it is anticipated that the project can be covered under a CE for CEQA
(CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c)). LSA Associates will prepare a CE for the project using standard City forms.
To conduct this task, LSA Associates will utilize preliminary geometric plans prepared by Dokken Engineering,
right -of -way maps and data from the City and /or other sources, as well as knowledge gained from the initial site
visit and information from any prior studies (if available) for recent projects in the area. The CE will address the
environmental topics determined to apply to the proposed project and provide sufficient discussion to indicate that
no significant environmental impacts would result from project implementation. Information from the technical
studies will be incorporated Into the CE determination.
Task 2.7 Final Categorical Exemption (CE)
The Draft CE will be revised, if necessary, per comments received from the City. The Final CE will consist of the
revised Draft CE and the technical reports prepared for the project. LSA Associates will provide the City a master
copy of the document for City approval. Following approval of the Final CE, LSA Associates will file the CE with the
County Clerk's office and the State Office of Planning and Research, where it will be posted for a period of 30 days.

TASK 3.0 PERMITTING: SAN DIEGO CREEK BRIDGES
Task 3.1 Geotechnical Borings
Geotechnical investigations are required on this site in order to determine the soil stratigraphy and subsurface
conditions, and to collect soil samples. Some of the geotechnical borings will occur within the channel beneath the
existing crossing. The work is covered by NWP No. 6, which authorizes survey activities and allows discharges
associated with the temporary placement of structures necessary to complete a geotechnical investigation. This
nationwide permit is pre - certified by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and as such, is subject to
the notification requirements by the RWQCB. However, to qualify for this nationwide permit, the activity must
comply with the nationwide permit general conditions, including obtaining a coastal zone consistency concurrence
from the California Coastal Commission. In addition, for any construction activities within astrea m, such as
San Diego Creek, a California Department of Fish and Game Streambed Alteration Agreement will be required. The
application fee associated with the application for the Streambed Alteration Agreement cannot be determined until
the new fee schedule has been approved. The fee for a Streambed Alteration Agreement under the previous fee
schedule was approximately $13,DDD. It is assumed that the City will pay this fee directly.
For this task, LSA Associates will prepare a letter to the California Coastal Commission requesting exemption from a
Coastal Development Permit and a coastal consistency analysis for the geotechnical borings. LSA Associateswill
prepare a letter to the Coast Guard requesting a waiver under Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, along with
notification of impacts to navigation. In addition, notification of the proposed geotechnical boring activities will be
submitted to the RWQCB and the Corps. These letters will include details of environmental impacts
Task 3.2 Environmental Permits
The permits listed below will be required for construction of the proposed bridge retrofit:
• Section 404 (Clean Water Act) permit from the Corps for dredge or fill material (including pilings) in the
San Diego Creek /Newport Back Bay. The project should be eligible for a nationwide permit.
• Section 401 (Clean Water Act) certification from the RWQCB.
• Section 9 (Rivers and Harbors Act) permit from the U.S. Coast Guard for bridge construction in
navigable waters.
Coastal Development Permit pursuant to the California Coastal Act of 1976.
If the project affects listed species or designated critical habitat, additional authorizations may be required from the
USFWS or NOAH Fisheries. The scope of services for the permits listed above is described in further detail below.
Federal. LSA Associates will conduct a jurisdictional delineation to determine whether the project will impact
waters subject to Corps jurisdiction. After the delineation report has been reviewed and accepted by the resources
agencies, the report will be used to quantify the impacts to jurisdictional waters by the proposed construction
activities associated withth a bridge retrofit. This information will be used to prepare the appropriate NWP
documentation for submittal to the Corps and request a Section 401 Water Quality Certification to the Regional
RWQCB. In addition, LSA Associates will prepare a letter to the Coast Guard requesting a waiver under Section 9 of
the Rivers and Harbors Act, along with a notification of impacts to navigation. This scope is based on one or more
nationwide permits that may be required for the construction activities associated with the bridge retrofit, but the
exact nationwide permit cannot be determined until final construction details have been completed. However, to
qualify for a nationwide permit, the proposed activity must obtain an individual state coastal zone management
consistency or waiver. Therefore, LSA Associates will submit an application for a Coastal Development Permit
(CDP) from the California Coastal Commission (CCC). The CCC requires that a mailing list, along with addressed
and stamped envelopes, for all owners and applicants within a 100 foot radius (not including the area within road
right of way) of the proposed project is included in the application. It is assumed that the City will pay the filing fee
for the CDP and the Section 401 notification directly. The size of these fees will be determined by the specific
impacts identified.
State. LSA Associates will prepare a Notice of Streambed Alteration for the California Department of Fish and
Game under Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code. It is assumed that the City will pay the filing fee
directly. According to the previous fee schedule, the filing fee for a streambed alteration agreement was
approximately $13,000.

TASK 4,0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSES; GOLDENROD PEDESTRIAN OVERCROSSING
Task 4.1 Project Initiation
Prior to the kick -off meeting, LSA Associates will review existing information and prepare adraf t Preliminary
Environmental Study (PES) form per Caltrans Local Assistance Guidelines. The draft PES form will be discussed and
finalized at the kick - off /field meeting. The final PES form approved by Caltrans will define the environmental scope
of services including the technical studies and the level of the environmental document for the project.
Task 4,2 Technical Reports
LSA Associates will prepare the following technical reports for the project in support of the CE /CE:
Task4.2.1 Noise Impact Analysis
LSA Associates will prepare a noise impact analysis per City and Caltrans guidelines and requirements. The
technical study will present a description of the existing land uses, existing noise levels, and applicable Federal,
State ( Caltrans), and City of Newport Beach guidelines, ordinances, and regulations.
Sample measurements of ambient noise will be performed by an acoustical specialist to document the existing
noise environment. The measured existing ambient noise levels will be used to assess whether a substantial
increase in noise level with project implementation would occur per Caltrans criteria. Short-term noise
measurements will be recorded at up to four (4) locations using noise level analysis /monitors to characterize
the motor vehicular noise environment. The appendix will include a presentation of noise fundamentals,
Because the proposed bridge improvements would not affect vehicular traffic, no traffic - related noise impact
would be evaluated.
Construction noise impacts from stationary and mobile equipment will be addressed. Noise and its impacts will
be discussed. Noise abatement measures designed to reduce noise impacts to acceptable noise levels will be
identified where necessary.
Task 4.2.2 Hazardous Waste Initial Site Assessment (ISA)
LSA Associates will prepare an ISA in accordance with Caltrans guidelines and in general accordance with the
American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Designation E 1597 -00, Standard Practice for Environmental
Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. The following tasks will be conducted as
part of this evaluation:
• LSA Associates will conduct an agency records database search to identify hazardous waste sites located
within the ASTM radius of the project site and classified as hazardous waste under State law. The
records search will also identify business types located within the ASTM radius that store, transfer, or
utilize large quantities of hazardous materials. This information will be obtained from records
maintained by Federal, State and local agencies. LSA Associates will utilize a database service to
perform this search.
• Historic land use information for the Area of Potential Effects (APE) will be reviewed to determine
whether previous uses in the project area may have resulted in hazardous waste contamination. This
information includes historic aerial photographs, historic USGS maps, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps,
Oil and Gas maps, available groundwater depth /flow data, City directories, County Assessor's data, and
building permits.
• LSA Associates will conduct a visual survey of the APE via public right -of -way to identify any obvious
area of hazardous waste contamination. Access to private property or City right -of -way shall be
provided by the Lead Agency.
• If hazardous waste sites are identified within the APE (via governmental records and /or the visual
survey), LSA Associates will review available public records at the appropriate oversight agency to
determine the potential impact to the project.
LSA Associates will prepare a report that presents findings and recommendations based on the site
survey and historical records review.

Task 4.2.3 Biological Studies
A list of sensitive species that may be present in the project area will be compiled from the California Natural
Diversity Data Base and the California Native Plant Society electronic inventory. A letter requesting a list of
federally listed species potentially occurring within the project area will be sent to the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS). A field survey will be conducted to assess the likelihood of these sensitive species
occurring on the project site and to identify other species and habitats within the project boundaries.
Concurrently, LSA Associates will complete a focused wetland determination according to the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, the currently accepted methodology. This scope of work is for routine
delineation methods tailored to the site characteristics. Data on the three parameters that are used to identify
wetlands will be recorded on a wetland data sheet. Finally, LSA Associates will determine whether any
streambed and associated riparian areas are subject to review by the California Department of Fish and Game
(CDFG) under Sections 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The purpose of these determinations will be to
ascertain whether the project will affect jurisdictional waters. A complete delineation of any affected waters is
not included, since they are not expected to occur.
If there is a potential for the project to significantly impact biological resources, especially wetlands, or
endangered, threatened, or proposed species, LSA Associates will advise the City immediately to discuss the
need for additional assessment. If there are no significant impacts, LSA Associates will prepare a Low Impact
Natural Environment Study (NES) report, according to Caltrans guidelines and procedures.
Task 4.3 Section 4(f) Evaluation
The Goldenrod Pedestrian Overcrossing crosses over the Bayside Drive Park. The park will be used for temporary
access to the pedestrian overcrossing bridge during construction of the project. Section 4(f) prohibits the use of
land from a publicly owned park, or recreational area by a federally funded transportation project unless certain
determinations can be made. As a publicly owned park, Bayside Drive Park falls under the requirements of
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. 303) of 1966. Based on available information
regarding the proposed project, the project meets the criteria for a Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation.
Therefore, in compliance with Section 4(f), LSA Associates will prepare a Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for
review and approval by Caltrans /FHWA to address temporary impacts to Bayside Drive Park.
Task 4.4 Air Quality
The proposed project is a retrofit project that will improve the safety of the existing bridge. Therefore, per Table 2
of 40 CFR 93.134, the proposed project is exempt from all emissions analyses. No air quality analysis is required.
Task 4.S Cultural Resources
Task 4.5.1 Native American Consultation
LSA Associates will conduct Native American consultation with entities whose names will be provided by the
Native American Heritage Commission.
Task 4.5.2 Area of Potential Effects Map
LSA Associates will develop an Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map.
Task 4.5.3 Records Search
An archaeological and historical records review and literature search will be conducted through the South
Central Coastal Information Center of the California Historic Resources Information System (CHRIS). The
objective of this archival research will be: (1) to establish the status and extent of previously recorded sites,
surveys, and excavations in the APE, and (2) to note what site types might be expected to occur within the
proposed APE.
Task 4.5.4 Archeological Survey
Based on the records search, a systematic on -site pedestrian survey will be conducted to determine the
presence of archeological resources on previously unsurveyed property. Previously recorded sites within the
APE will be field checked, and existing site records will be updated consistent with the guidelines established by
the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP).

Task 4.5.5 Architectural Survey
An architectural survey will be conducted to: (1) determine the presence of buildings within the area of effect,
and (2) record those that require historic evaluation.
Task 4.5.6 Reports
Depending on the resultsof the archaeological and architectural surveys, various reports will be completed.
Following is a description of the reports LSA Associates anticipates the need to complete for this project.
• Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR). This cover document for all cultural reports will be
completed. It is anticipated that both archaeological and architectural findings will be negative.
Therefore, this proposal is based on completing a negative HPSR.
Archaeological Survey Report (ASR). Following the archaeological survey, an ASR will be
completed. This report will discuss the findings of the records search and survey. It is anticipated that
archaeological findings will be negative.
Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER). Because the Goldenrod POC is greater than
50 years old, an HRER with appended Bridge Evaluation Short Form will be completed.
Task 4.6 Draft Categorical Exemption (CE)
Based on the project being constructed primarily within existing City right -of -way (minor or no right -of -way
acquisitions required), requiring only minor alterations to existing street widths and not adding additional traffic
capacity (no new through traffic lanes), it is anticipated that the project can be covered under a CE for CEQA
(CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c)). LSA Associates will prepare a CE for the project using standard City forms.
To conduct this task, LSA Associates will utilize preliminary geometric plans prepared by Dokken Engineering,
right -of -way maps and data from the City and /or other sources, as well as knowledge gained from the initial site
visit and information from any prior studies (if available) for recent projects in the area. The CE will address the
environmental topics determined to apply to the proposed project and provide sufficient discussion to indicate that
no significant environmental impacts would result from project implementation. Information from the technical
studies will be incorporated into the CE determination.
Task 4.7 Final Categorical Exemption (CE)
The Draft CE will be revised, if necessary, per comments received from the City. The Final CE will consist of the
revised Draft CE and the technical reports prepared for the project. LSA Associates will provide the City a master
copy of the document for City approval. Following approval of the Final CE, LSA Associates will file the CE with the
County Clerk's office and the State Office of Planning and Research, where it will be posted for a period of 30 days.
Task 4.8 NEPA Categorical Exclusion
Following approval of the technical studies by the City and Caltrans, LSA Associates will prepare a Categorical
Exclusion per NEPA requirements. The Categorical Exclusion, consisting of the approved CEQA CE and technical
study backup, will be submitted for approval by Caltrans and FHWA.
