pipelines in and around Lido Village including Lido Park Drive, 32
nd Street, Villa Way,
Lake Avenue, Marcus, Short Street and several alleys. Also included is the
replacement of existing deteriorated 8-inch sewer mains located on Via Malaga and Via
Oporto.
Staff requested proposals for design services from professional engineering firms
specializing in water infrastructure and received three proposals. The City’s review
team consisted of staff from the Municipal Operations and Public Works Departments.
Using a qualification-based selection process, each of the proposals were evaluated
based on the consultant team’s project understanding, experience, qualifications,
planning and design approach, design ideas, and projected level of effort. Psomas was
selected as the most qualified and responsive firm with an impressive track record
having completed similar work for the City and for various agencies throughout
Southern California.
The proposed work scope includes project management by the consultant, design
surveying and utility research, preparation of plans, specifications, estimates, and
contract documents for public bidding and construction, assistance during the bidding
and preparation of record drawings at the completion of the project.
The proposed fee for these services is a “not-to-exceed” cost of $140,480. The work
scope is itemized and billing will be per the approved billing rates as shown in Exhibit 1
of the attached PSA (Attachment B).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action (consultant agreement) is not subject
to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2)
(the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change
in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section
15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3,
because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly
or indirectly. A Categorical Exemption is expected for the future construction.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on the Scope of Services outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP), which is incorporated herein by reference as an
integral part of this proposal, the following Scope of Work is anticipated to complete the project.
Task 1 I Project Management and Meetings (Scope item a)
1.1 Project Management - We will provide project management to ensure adherence to the project schedule and budget and
to document all communication between Psomas and the City.
1.2 Meetings - At the commencement of the project, Psomas will hold a "kick-off meeting with City staff to discuss the
scope and parameters of the project. We will arrange for and participate in review meetings with City staff to review
progress of the project work and exchange ideas and information at the 50% and 95% design stages. We assume the 100%
comments will not require a review meeting, but may be addressed via telephone and/or email. Per the RFP, we have
included two additional meetings to the three identified above for a budgeted total of five (5) meetings.
We will prepare and submit minutes for each project meeting summarizing the participating personnel, key discussion
comments and decisions, documents delivered or received, and actions required.
Task 2 I Design Survey (Scope item b)
Psomas will establish project survey control using a combination of fast-static GPS and conventional survey methods.
Horizontal control will be relative to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), with coordinates based on the California
Coordinate System (CCS83, Zone VI, 2011.00 epoch) as published by the California Spatial Reference Center (CSRC).
Conventional topographic mapping would be conducted from right-of-way to right-of-way and would include the collection
items such as top of curb, flow line, edge of gutter, back of walk, walls, fences, roadway, driveway and surface and above
ground utilities.
Once fieldwork has been completed, the survey data will be reviewed, reduced and imported into a CAD base-file (AutoCAD
2012 format or others as requested). Field located topographic and utility features will be labeled with their respective point
number, elevation and descriptions. Psomas office surveyors will produce a topographic base-file of the surveyed scope at a
mapping scale of 1" = 20'. We have budgeted for up to 16 sewer and/or storm drain structures within the scope to be dipped,
detailed and photographed at the direction of the design team.
Task 3 I Preparation of Contract Documents (Scope items c. o, e and f)
3.1 Records and Requirements Search - Perform record and data search consisting of survey information (centerline
control, bench marks, assessor maps, parcel maps. Record of Survey, easements, etc.) and utility information consisting of
existing water, sewer, and other utilities along the subject alignment. In addition, we will document our contact and
coordination with other public and private agencies involved to inform them about the project and obtain their records,
approval, and permit requirements.
3.2 Construction Plans, Specifications, and Engineer's Estimate at 50%, 95% and 100% Stages of Design — Prepare
construction drawings, specifications, and engineer's construction cost estimate, incorporating any comments received
from the City, utility companies, and outside agencies. The construction specifications will include the City's contract
boilerplate documents, construction sequencing, and technical specifications. The anticipated construction plans will
consist of the sheets as shown in the table on the following page:

*Nole: The approximate lengths shown in the table above extend into intersections to show referenced street on the project plans.
Therefore, the lineal footage shown above will be more than the actual amount ofproposedpipeline replacement.
Deliverables: Three (3) sets of the full Progress Submittal Package will be sent to the City for review. This includes the
construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates.
