TO:
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF TWO CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION AND FOR DESIGN OF TUSTIN RANCH
ROAD EXTENSION, WALNUT AVENUE TO FUTURE VALENCIA NORTH LOOP
ROAD (C.I.P. NO. 7100)
SUMMARY
Staff is recommending approval of two Consultant Service Agreements related to the proposed
future extension of Tustin Ranch Road between Walnut Avenue and future Valencia North Loop
Road. The Consultant Services Agreement with Moffatt & Nichol Engineers is for preparation of
improvement plans, specifications, and construction estimates for the final design. The Consultant
Services Agreement with Michael Brandman Associates is for environmental evaluation and analysis
required for preparing a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Consultant Services Agreements with Moffatt &
Nichol Engineers for design services of Tustin Ranch Road Extension in the not-to-exceed amount of
$537,863 and with Michael Brandman Associates for environmental documentation in the not-to-
exceed amount of $76,845. Further, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute the Consultant Services Agreements on behalf of the City subject to
approval by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT
A combination of Capital Improvement Program Funds, and Gas Tax Funds have been budgeted in
the FY 2000-2001 CIP budget for this work.
BACKGROUND
Moffatt & Nichol Engineers (M&N) entered into an agreement with the City of Tustin on May 21,
1990 for engineering services and environmental documentation for the Tustin Ranèh Road
extension from Walnut Avenue southerly on to the MCAS Base which included a bridge spanning
the railroad tracks,. flood channel and Edinger Avenue. Within this 1990 contract, Michael
Brandman Associates was a subconsultant for providing environmental services. A comprehensive
Project Report was submitted to the City that reviewed eight design alternatives. To date, the
Preliminary Engineering phase has been substantially completed. Attachment I is a map that
depicts the current single loop design which was selected as the preferred alternative because it
provided the best coordination with the MCAS-Tustin Reuse Plan.

Page 2
In 1992, the decision by the Federal Government to close MCAS-Tustin resulted in suspension of
the work on this contract since the southerly terminus of the project was affected by the
anticipated Base closure. Since that time, the preliminary engineering design studies were
completed but the processing of the base closure prevented the completion and approval of any
environmental documentation and approval. The 1990 Contract with Moffatt & Nichol Engineers is
now closed. .
DISCUSSION
The proposed Tustin Ranch Road Extension which includes the Tustin Ranch Road Interchange
at Edinger Avenue is a critical north-south access that was originally required as a condition of
approval for the Irvine Business Complex. The proposed improvements have been identified in the
Tustin General Plan and the interchange and extension south to Valencia North Loop Road are
required improvements in the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan /Specific Plan.
Given the importance and effort of planning and design work for this project, Moffatt & Nichol
Engineers has been asked to submit an updated proposal for completing the remaining final
engineering and Michael Brandman Associates has been asked to submit an updated proposal for
completing the environmental phase. Attached are new contracts with each firm that have been
reviewed by the City Attorney's office.
Staff has evaluated the proposals and considered the option of continuing the design and
environmental work using Moffatt & Nichol Enginee~s versus the option of issuing a new Request
for Proposals and reviewing other engineering proposals.
An independent engineering firm was utilized for a detailed review of the proposed scope and cost
of the proposals. It was determined from this review and the analysis by staff, that the cost
proposals in the new proposals are fair and justified. A common comparison for engineering
services is to use a percentage of overall construction costs. Using the current value of
construction of $15 million, the amended cost for final engineering and environmental is about 40/0
of construction. This would generally be considered, a low value with 6-8% being a normal range.
This can also be compared to the similar bridge project in Tustin, the Newport Avenue Extension
North (CIP 7131). For this project, the engineering services contract is about 7% of the estimated
construction value.
Another important factor beside the cost is the experience of Moffatt & Nichol Engineers and
Michael Brandman Associates. The firms have proposed a team that is largely the same as
proposed in 1990. Richard Neill, P.E. remains as the Engineering Project Manager. Michael
Houlihan, ACIP of Michael Brandman Associates remains as the environmental lead. Many of the
subconsultants have remained the same although the geotechnical and landscape firms have
been changed. The continuity and experience of this team with the Tustin Ranch Road Extension
Project is a very important consideration for the City.

PROPOSAL FOR
PREPARATION OF PS&E FOR TUSTIN RANCH ROAD EXTENSION & GRADE SEPARATION
Project VHber6SHbiH5
The City of Tustin is now in North position to develop final plans for Tustin Ranch Road Extension
from Walnut Avenue to Valencia Loop Road, which incorporates a grade separation overhead
structure at Edinger Avenue and the OCTA Southem Califomia Regional Rail Authority Railway and
an interchange with Edinger Avenue.
Moffatt & Nichol Engineers in 1990 proposed and was selected to develop environmental
documents, preliminary engineering, Phase I, and final plans, specifications and estimates, Phase
II, for the Tustin Ranch Road - Walnut Avenue - Edinger Avenue Extension. As a part of the
Phase I preliminary alternative intersections at Edinger Avenue were studied and a loop alternative
selected.
In the mid "90's" the MCAS Tustin was scheduled for realignment and closure, In that time period
Moffatt & Nichol Engineers (M&N) developed several alternatives in conjunction with the MCAS
closure and reuse program and the Edinger Avenue Widening. A comprehensive report of eight (8)
alternatives was presented to your offices in October 1997. An edited version was again presented
in early 1998 recommending adoption of Alternative 8, the Loop Road Connection. As discussed
with your staff it is now essential to develop a complete scope of work for the development of the
PS&E for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road into the MCAS consistent with the base reuse
development and the recommended Altemative 8, single loop connection to Edinger Avenue.
The Moffatt & Nichol Engineers team has developed a proposal to complete the PS&E based on
Alternative 8 of the intersection study as presented in 1998 to your offices. The development of the
proposed tasks and costs for the engineering services is consistent with the basic tasks of Phase II,
of the Final Design, of the original contract. The significant elements that are different from the
original scope of work, as you are well aware, is the extension of the Tustin Ranch Road southerly
to the Valencia North Loop Road and the developments of the intersection. In addition, Edinger
Avenue has been shifted to the south with plans for the widening to six lanes developed by RBF
Engineers. We have been coordinating with Boyle Engineers who have developed plans for
Valencia North Loop Road and RBF Engineers to assure compatibility of their projects with Tustin
Ranch Road. Our work will involve modifications to Edinger Avenue for the intersection of the loop
road and construction traffic control at the Grade Separation structure.
Moffatt & Nichol Engineers has been a part of the Tustin Ranch Road project since 1990 and has
been a part of it's development as part of the MCAS' realignment and reuse.
We look forward to the development of the construction documents for this very important Arterial
Highway project in the City of Tustin.

Scope Of Project
The general scope of the project is shown on ATTACHMENTS I, II and Ill, Tustin Ranch Road,
Alternative 8, Single-Loop. Tustin Ranch Road will be extended from Walnut Avenue southerly to
Valencia North Loop Road a distance of about 4,000 feet. The project will include the intersection
designs and/or modifications at Walnut Avenue, Valencia North Loop Road and the Edinger
Avenue/Ramp Road Intersection. Edinger Avenue is currently under design to be widened to six
(6) lanes including a center median.
This project will modify the Edinger Avenue stripping and traffic signals to add right turn and left turn
lanes at the Ramp/Road intersection. Traffic control will be required on Edinger Avenue to
accommodate the erection of falsework and accommodate four (4) lanes of traffic through the
completed falsework. It is expected that to accommodate the overhead structure construction and
traffic control an extensive portion of the median will require removal and reconstruction including
any landscaping. Provisions are planned for an access road to the inner portion of the Ramp Road
Loop. This will be south and parallel to, but separate from Edinger Avenue.
The overhead structure is recommended to be a concrete box girder, which will be a continuous
structure with spans over the OCFD Channel, railroad trackage, Edinger Avenue, and the access
road to the inner Loop Road area.
Landscaping will be designed for all slopes and the medians. It is presently assumed that the inner
loop road area will be graded and erosion control provided, but landscaping will not be provided.
The present embankment area north of the railroad will be raised to accommodate the higher
vertical clearance requirements over the SCRRA railroad tracks as noted on ATTACHMENT II. A
retaining wall is planned at the easterly side of the present embankment to accommodate this
raising. This will require construction easements and modification of drainage easements.
Roadway and slope drainage will be designed consistent with the existing drainage pattern and
OCFD channel. It is assumed that storm drain systems designed for the Edinger Avenue widening
will accommodate the Tustin Ranch Road drainage areas. It is assumed that an area wide
hydrology analysis is not required and further that the Santa Fe - Santa Ana Channel is considered
adequate.
Street lighting will be provided on Tustin Ranch Road and the Loop Road. It is assumed that for the
Edinger Avenue Widening Project, Street Lighting will be designed to accommodate the overhead
structure. Provisions will be made to allow for soffitt lights in the structure at Edinger Avenue if
desired or required.
It is assumed that the Edinger Avenue Widening will be constructed either prior to or concurrently
with the Tustin Ranch Road project. Therefore the design plans for Edinger Avenue Widening are
the assumed "existing conditions" for the area between the West and East Connector Roads.
The development of the scope of the project assumes that the project will use English units and the
applicable Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications can be referenced either in English or metric
units.

PROPOSAL FOR
PREPARATION OF PS&E FOR TUSTIN RANCH ROAD EXTENSION & GRADE SEPARATION
Project TMks, Meth"z,olOSJl AnÞ ScheÞ",le
The required tasks are described on ATTACHMENT V as part of the proposed fee portion
with the associated team member noted. Based on these tasks we have prepared a
schedule for final design.
The proposed schedule attached as ATTACHMENT IV is based on a completion that allows bidding
and advertising to commence in 2001. This is in accordance with our discussions with Mr. Ron
Schultz. The environmental process is a controlling element in that a CEQA document is planned
to be prepared for the Tustin Ranch Road supplementing and using the environmental document
for the MCAS base closure as a reference. Our design schedule is premised on completing as
much of the preliminary engineering work as is feasible, concurrently with the completion of the
environmental document prior to the preparation of final design documents. The environmental
process is premised on the base closure EIR being completed and approved in late 2000. The
preparation of the environmental document will be accomplished by MBA under separate contract
to the City of Tustin. It is noted at this point for coordination and scheduling purposes in completing
the design documents.
The general tasks would be the Notice to Proceed, preparation of the environmental documents,
the preliminary engineering and the final design engineering. The initial task will be the
environmental documents, including the traffic studies that are necessary for the Tustin Ranch
Road environmental document, both before and after year 2020, and also the intermediate year
2005. Public hearings and/or availability of public hearings are planned in the environmental
process. The draft environmental document is estimated to be ready for review by the City
approximately 16 weeks after NTP. It is assumed that within 20 to 21 weeks that the environmental
document could be ready for presentation to the City Council.
Concurrently with the environmental process would be the supplemental preliminary engineering
consisting of geotechnical investigations, additional survey to include the extension onto the base,
the development of the bridge type selection, the right of way survey to tie the Walnut Avenue to the
record of survey for the base, and of course, Edinger Avenue. The review and coordination with
the Edinger Avenue development and the Valencia North Loop Road development will be
essentially done in this phase, although this coordination would be on going throughout the entire
development of the project. As part of this preliminary engineering process and to be considered to
be part of the environmental process could be the development of the staging and traffic control
plans for construction of the bridge.
After completion of the type selection of the bridge the railroad agreement process can
begin. This process, based on past experience, is taking in the order of six months
minimum in order to get a final agreement. This will require the development of a
easement across the railroad right of way which will be handled through OCT A while
SCRRA will review the engineering aspects of the agreement in regards to railroad
operations.
It is important for this agreement process to be started as early as practical, after we have the
bridge type selection, in order to minimize any impacts on this schedule if there are unforeseen
circumstances that may develop with the railroad or OCTA.

PROPOSAL FOR
PREPARATION OF PS&E FOR TUSTIN RANCH ROAD EXTENSION & GRADE SEPARATION
A necessary process is also the development of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) "Order to
Construct", which is necessary to allow construction of the grade separation.
A pennit for encroachment on the Orange County Flood Control Channel will be required. This
process will be started with approval of the CEQA environmental document.
It would be considered that the landscape conceptual plan would be developed for review by the
City as an early task as this could be an environmental issue.
Completion of the final design plans will be an extension of the preliminary engineering aspects
following the completion of the environmental document. Much of the background work will have
been developed in the preliminary engineering tasks and this should allow a relatively rapid and
smooth process in completion of the final design. The preparation of the final design contract
documents is noted by the basic tasks involved. This includes the roadway and civil design, the
drainage stonn drain design, landscaping, the bridge structure design, retaining walls, traffic
signals, traffic signing, stripping and street lighting, and project specifications and estimates. It is
anticipated at this time that there would be 90%, 100% and final submittal, although for purposes of
checking and review by the City a 65% or in progress can be provided if desired.
It is anticipated then that the project would be ready for advertising essentially by October 2001.
This schedule has been developed around our understanding of when the environmental
documents for the project can be done, and completed by February 2001, and the SCRAA
agreements, and OCFCD permits are obtained in a timely matter. A thirty- (30) day float time has
been incorporated into the schedule to allow any for EIR, agreement and pennit delays.

PROPOSAL FOR
PREPARATION OF PS&E FOR TUSTIN RANCH ROAD EXTENSION & GRADE SEPARATION
PropO6eb Fee
The proposed efforts and the associated fees for the providing the services as denoted in the
Scope Of Work and Project Methodology have been determined and are summarized on the
EXHIBIT F 1. The estimated total hours are 4800, with a total of 122 sheets of drawings and the
total fee is proposed at $537,863.00.
The fee summary on EXHIBIT F 1 (attached) is based on each of the individual discipline and/or
subdivision of the work. The overall project summary is also shown on EXHIBIT F 2, primarily
indicating how the total costs were derived and the efforts associated with the major tasks. The
more detailed breakdowns for the roadway design, structure design and related tasks are shown
on EXHIBITS F 3 through F6. A drawing list for the project is included as EXHIBIT 0-1. The
detailed tasks and responsible team members are shown on ATTACHMENT V. These exhibits
define these major portions of the engineering work. The more detailed breakdown of the
Subconsultant efforts for the traffic, geotechnical, landscaping, and the survey and right of way
portions are contained in APPENDIX B.
It is understood that the services and fees for construction management are difficult to estimate at
this time. Fees and scope of services will be determined by the City and negotiated upon
completion of the PS&E.

fixtures. Design of street lighting assumes that Southern California Edison (SCE), through its
franchise agreement with the City of Tustin, will prepare appropriate conductor sizes and
schedules. Kimley-Horn will utilize this circuitry information to be provided by SCE to size
conduit and pun boxes for street light fixtures. Utility information on base mapping to be
provided to Kimley-Horn is expected to show electrical vaults to be used as service drop points.
This proposal assumes that the City will document fixture and pole type, mounting height, and
luminaire/lens requirements. Given 1" = 20' scale requirements, street light plans for
approximately 4,000 feet of new ro¡¡.dway on Tustin Ranch Road and 1,200 feet of Loop Road
approach win require six (6) 24" x 36" plan sheets using over-and-under plan sheet layout. No
street lighting work will be required on Edinger, .
While the Scope of Services for the preparation of Moffatt & Nichol and Kimley-Hom do not
include the preparation of street lighting plans on Edinger A venue, it may be decided during the
course of the design that soffit lights under Tustin Ranch Road Bridge should be provided. If
soffit lights are needed under the bridge, Kimley-Horn will assist Moffatt & Nichol in the
preparation of soffit lighting plans,
Task 2 - Traffic Silffiin!!/Stripin!!:
Using similar base mapping as to be prepared for Task 1 by Moffatt & Nichol, traffic control
devices and pavement markings will be designed by Kimley-Hom for this project. Caltrans and
Orang~ county EMA standards will be utilized in the preparation of these designs v.'Ìth items to
be shown to include: .
pavement markings (lanes, arrows, crosswalks);

Given I" = 20' scale requirements, traffic signing and striping plans for 4,000 feet of new
roadway and 3,600 feet of Edinger and Walnut approaches will require eight (8) 24" x 36" plan
sheets using over-and-under plan sheet layout.
Task 3 - SÍ!!Dal Desie:n
Using thc same base mapping as to be provided by Moffatt & Nichol in Tasks I and 2, Kimley-
Horn will prepare traffic signal design plans for:
Tustin Ranch Road/loop ramp (new signal)
Tustin Ranch RoadlWalnut (modification)
Tustin Ranch RoadN alencia (new signal)
Edinger/loop ramp (new signal)
Design plans wi1\ be prepared at 1" = 20' scale using Caltrans and City of Tustin standards and
format. Redesign of the Tustin Ranch Road/Walnut signal is on the assumption that the City wi1\
supply base mapping and as-builts of the existing design to Kimley-Hom. Field verification of
existing wlderground equipment is not anticipated as part of redesign efforts. Controller timing
is not included in this proposal.
Task 4 - Traffic Control
Using similar base mapping as to be prepared for Task I by Moffatt & Nichol, traffic control
plans will be prepared by Ki1111ey-Horn for this project. Caltrans standards will be utilized in the
preparation of these designs with items shown to include: .
Temporary pavement markings
Temporary signing (regulatory, warning); and
information/directional as appropriate,
Up to seven (7) 24" x 36" plan sheets will be prepared using I" = 40' for the preparation of the
traffic control plans,
We anticipate the following:
Phase 1:
Temporarily reduce traffic to one lane in each direction on either the eastbound or
westbound directions on Edinger Avenue to erect the false work beams (2 stages).
Phase 2:
Reduce traffic to two (2) lanes in each direction on Edinger Avenue to make room
for false work (I stage).

Proposal For Geotechnical Services
Tustin Ranch Road Extension

INTRODUCTION
As requested, AGRA Earth & Environmental, Inc. (AGRA) is pleased to present the following
proposal to provide geotechnical services for the proposed Tustin Ranch Road Extension in the
City of Tustin, California. During the course of preparation of this proposal, we have reviewed
the Geotechnical Investigation Report (dated June 28, 1991), the Phase II Environmental
Sampling Report (dated September 20, 1990), both prepared by Schaefer Dixon Associates;
and the proposed Tustin Ranch Road Site Plan for Alternative 8, A brief site visit was also
made to evaluate existing surface conditions in relation to drill rig access.
This proposal was originally submitted on December 17, 1997, As requested by Mr. H.
Richard Neill of Moffatt & Nichol, it has been reviewed and updated. No change in the
proposed scope is considered necessary; however, fees have been revised on the basis of our
current schedule,
2,0
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
Based upon the site plan and discussion with Moffatt & Nichol, it is AGRA's understanding
that proposed construction will consist of extending Tustin Ranch Road from the current
terminus at Walnut Avenue southerly to the proposed Valencia Drive, a distance of
approximately 3,900 feet, Access from Tustin Ranch Road to Edinger Avenue will be
provided by a loop ramp, Extension of the roadway will require a bridge structure over Edinger
Avenue, an OCFDC channel and railroad right-of-way. This structure is to be four-span with

a total length of about 400 feet. The majority of the approach fill for the northerly bridge
abutment has been in place since 1978 (SDA -1991 report); however, current plans will
necessitate raising the current elevation by about 8 feet, Due to right-of-way restrictions, this
will require a retaining wall along the eastern right-of-way to accommodate the proposed
increase in grade, Construction of the southerly abutment and loop ramp will require up to
about 40 feet of fill material with embankment gradients of 2:1 (horizontal:vertical). It is
understood that construction of Valencia Drive and associated connector streets is not a part
of the proposed project,
3,0
SCOPE OF WORK
AGRA will provide geotechnical data and recommendations to update the SDA 1991 report
to reflect the currently proposed project design. This will include supplemental field
exploration and laboratory testing for the proposed retaining wall along the east side of the
northerly embankment and the proposed embankment between Edinger Avenue and Valencia
Drive, an update of the seismic design recommendations for use with ATC-32; and a review
of pile tip elevations in regard to any pile cap elevation changes since the SDA 1991 report
was prepared.
The geotechnical study will focus on selected physical properties of the subsurface soils and
will not include sampling, testing or assessment of any toxic or hazardous substances. If
during the performance of the planned subsurface exploration, visually foreign or odoriferous
materials are encountered, drilling will be terminated at that location and the client will be
notified of the condition,
This proposal does not include observation and/or testing services which may be required by
the geotechnical engineer during construction of the project,
3,1
FIELD ACTIVITIES
In preparation of this proposal allowance has been made for field activities related to the
subsurface exploration program. These include the layout of test borings and meeting with
utility locators. The portion of the site north of Edinger Avenue is fenced with a locked gate.
In addition, the majority of the site south of Edinger Avenue is located on agricultural land
within the Tustin Marine Corps Air Base. It has been assumed that access to these locations
will be permissible and that any right-of-access or encroachment permits would be
provided/coordinated by others. In addition, it has been assumed that boring locations would
be surveyed by Moffatt & Nichol prior to field exploration.
3,2
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
The subsurface exploration will consist of drilling 7 supplemental rotary wash borings to
depths ranging from 30 to 50 feet to obtain soil samples and enable evaluation of subsurface

conditions. This includes 3 borings for the proposed retaining wall and 4 borings for the
southerly approach embankment and loop ramp, Sampling will be conducted at about five-
foot intervals and will consist of obtaining relatively undisturbed ring samples and/or standard
penetration tests and bulk samples, All field operations will be conducted under the
supervision of an experienced engineer,
3,3
LABORATORY TESTING
Engineering properties of the subsurface materials will be determined by the field and
laboratory tests, Samples will be obtained from the borings for subsequent examination and
laboratory testing, Earth materials will be visually classified in the field in general
conformance with local geologic practice and/or the Unified Soil Classification System, The
field classification will be verified in the laboratory by visu'al observation and confirming tests
where necessary, We presently anticipated the following laboratory tests will be performed,
.
.
In-Situ Moisture-Density
Shear Strength
Consolidation
Fines Content
Atterberg Limits

3.4
ANALYSES AND PREPARATION OF A WRITTEN REPORT
Based upon a review of the SDA 1991 report, the soils evaluation from the field study, and
engineering analysis of both laboratory and field data, a supplemental report will be prepared.
It has been assumed that the City of Tustin has previously reviewed the project and SDA
Reports and that AGRA responses to any review would be limited to the changes in project
concept, The specific content of the report will be as follows.
.
Description of the proposed project.
.
Update seismicity recommendations within the SDA 1991 report for use with the
current A TC-32 and Maulchin (1996).
.
Review of recommended pile tip elevations within the SDA 1991 report in regards to
any proposed pile cap elevation changes,
.
Evaluation of settlement and stability of the proposed southerly embankment and
recommendations for special grading or foundation improvement, if necessary,
.
Recommendations for the proposed retaining wall and sliver fill to be located along the
east side of the existing northerly embankment.

The Firm
AGRA Earth & Environmental, Inc. (AGRA) is a multi-national firm with 1,200 employees and
50 offices. The operations in Califomia (formerly Moore & Taber) began in 1954 under the
leadership of ex-Caltrans personnel forthe expressed purpose of providing geotechnical services
on bridges and transportation projects administered by cities and counties. AGRA has conducted
investigations for more than 800 bridge structures in the State of California, which is more than
any other entity except Caltrans. Over the years, AGRA has developed into a full service
geotechnicai and environmental firm. In California, AGRA has 100 employees operating out of
offices in Anaheim, San Diego, Glendale and Ontario.
Related Experience
AGRA has provided complete geotechnical services for infrastructure improvements (including
bridges, roadways, drainage facilities and utilities) in Southern and Central California. Most of
these projects have been subject to either independent or Agency review and approval. Over a
period of 46 years, AGRA has been able to successfully and economically provide reliable
information and desirable geotechnical solutions for design and construction of municipal
improvement projects, ranging from minor pavement rehabilitation to major development. On each
of these projects AGRA has aiways kept in mind the needs and objectives of the client.
Summaries for several projects which demonstrate AGRA's qualifications to effectively contribute
to the design of this project are provided on subsequent pages. In addition to extensive
experience with the design of bridge structures and related roadway improvements, AGRA's
familiarity with the conditions in the project vicinity is expected to be an asset. Relevant projects
for which AGRA has recently performed geotechnical services are attached
Personnel

over Murrieta Creek. This project aiso included 1,600 feet of new roadway
and the reconstruction of existing roadways and intersections. Additional
improvements included culverts, storm drains and retaining walls.
Foundation conditions consisted of bedrock, colluvium, loose and dense
alluvium. and existing fill. Work included slope stability analysis for bridge
abutments and roadway embankments, foundation recommendations for
the proposed improvements, pavement design, liquefaction studies,
historical scour analysis, grading recommendations and construction
recommendations.

CULVER BOULEVARD UNDERCROSSING
Los Angeles, California
AGRA is in the final stages of geotechnical design for the extension of
Route 90. Currently, Route 90 terminates at Culver Boulevard. Proposed
construction will consist of widening the existing portion of the roadway and
extending Route 90 past Culver Boulevard. Improvements required to
facilitate this extension consist of a three-span bridge structure over Culver
Boulevard, improvements to adjacent streets, new soundwalls, improved
drainage consisting of box culverts and RCP, replacement of existing
pavement and construction of new pavement, and retaining walls. Design
of the bridge structure was influenced by liquefiable soils, deep
compressible soils, right-of-way restrictions, and conflicts with existing
utilities.

HIGHLAND AVENUE GRADE SEPARATION
Fullerton, California
This project is in the final stages of construction. In order to reduce
vehicular and pedestrian conflicts with a major freight railline and at grade
roadway crossing, the City of Fullerton elected to depress HighlandAvenue
at the BNSF Railroad Crossing. Project design was influenced by limited
right-of-way and major existing improvements within close proximity. The
existing Highland Avenue roadway was depressed about 20 feet and a
singie span bridge was constructed to provide for the railroad crossing.
Both cantilever and tie-back retaining walls were utilized to accommodate
the grade changes and protect existing improvements. Construction also
consisted of a pump station for storm water drainage, a temporary shoofly
and improvements to adjacent streets. Geotechnical recommendations
were influenced by deep collapsible soils and frozen ground conditions
beneath an adjacent cold storage building.

Introduction and Philosophy
IS2 is a firm specializing in landscape architecture, land planning,
environmental and urban design, Since 1987, the firm has been
invoived with projects worldwide. Project types range from commercial,
residential, recreational and entertainment development in the private
sector, to urban renewal and civic and park design in the public sector.
IS2's primary directive .is be team and service oriented. The firm's focus
is on creating the right environment for producing the optimai solutions
for each project. One specific and tailored team is designated at the
beginning of each project and is kept in tact through the project's
completion. Since service is another focus, the firm has strict in-house
quality control measures that prove invaluabie throughout the time line
of the job. 152 is committed to bringing the client the most effective
solutions using the most efficient methods available. Particular attention
is paid to bringing the project in on schedule and on budget.
IS2's design philosophy, highlighting anthropometric relationships, is
retained throughout the entire design process. Simply stated:
Once we become aware of our 'self'in psychological and physical
measurement terms, we can begin the process of designing with
responsibility to the user, This obligation of understanding the
end user is mandatory to achieve sound design.
Landscape architects have the unique opportunity to design for
humans. Understanding them, and how they relate to the objects
and spaces that surround them, becomes the key ingredient to
developing a design that functions properly, The philosophy of
/52 is to develop designs that not only fit the clients aesthetic and
budget requirements, but also responds to the user's
psychological and physical requirements in a functional space.
The landscape has changed

1.0 AREAS OF WORK
2.1 SURVEYING
Site Investigation, Surveying and Mapping: Our strong expertise in this area is applied
in helping our clients develop master plans and site improvement plans. We perform
topographic and boundary surveying, 1and use planning, layout ofinfi'astructure and
utilities, and the design of site drainage, erosion control, and landscaping for highways
and residential subdivisions.
DMC researches and verifies existing monuments in the vicinity of the new development
to locate monuments to be used as horizontal and vertical controls in the establishment of
ground relief and the project boundaries. DMC conducts a survey of the site to gather
necessary field and other pertinent data for the preparation of the site layout design, and
for construction planning. We conduct utility search and supplement that with field
verifications. We conclude this preliminary phase by providing our clients finished
products in the form of:
. Topographic Maps
. Utility Maps
. Sewer Improvement Drawings
. Water Supply DTawings
. Site Plan,
. Profiles and Cross Sections, and
. Cost Estimates for Site Work.
During the construction phase, DMc stakes the site in gen.-'"fal as well as the building
comers, and performs construction inspection.
Easement Acquisition:. DMc assists clients in the preparation of documentation
required for the acquisition of prospective easement locations. We assist with the
preparation oftitle reports, grant deeds, and property recordation.
2.2 GRA.DINGÆ4RTHWORK
DMC maintains project continuity by applying the survey data in the development of
grading plan for the project. The plan shows areas of cuts and fills relative to finished
grade, and estimates of soil in1ports and/or exports. The plan will also show areas of
unsuitable soi] removals and replacements.
2.3 DRAINAGE DESIGN
Water and Sewer: By performing plan checks for a number of cities and public
agencies (see Plan Checking below), we assist in enforcing strict quality control on
designs for roadway and residential subdivision Ì1nprovements. We apply the same high
standards to our own engineering designs. Some =mbers of our engineering staffhave
seveTaI years of c>"'þerience working in public agency plan c.hecking departments. They
help in fucilitatiog the design of sewer and water systems for both existing and new land
developments. Our expertise in this area includes the layout and sizing of water
distributions and flow/pressurtJ control systel115, and sanitary sewtJrs and storm water
drainage and retention systel115,
DMc also designs the locations and sizes of hydraulic structurtJS and appurtenances such
as:
. Building Connections
. Street Inlets
. Manholes
. CatchBasms
. Junction and Transition Systems
. Drops and Energy Dissipators, and
. Overflow and Diversion Structures
. Subsurface Drainage Systel115 (including French Drains, Dry Wells
and Leach Fields)
. Pump Stations
. Culverts
Best Management Practices (BMPs)/Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP)/NPDES: We assist our clients in conforming with the requirements of AB
403 by helping to select and únplemellt best management practices for reducing
pollutants in storm water discbarge.s ITom construction activities, and in obtaining the
NPDES Permit.
2.4 PLAN CHECKING
DMc performs plan checks to assess the construct ability of the project, and to check for
flaws in the design that would undennine the viability of the proJect. Listed below are
the main areas of our plan checking capabilities.
Drainage Plans: DMc checks drainage plans to ensure tbat water is kept from standing
on or washing over the roads and that the side slopes are protected from erosion. Our
review also focuses on the design provisions fur the natural flow of water in the project
area, including the size, configurations, capacities, and stability of the system of slopes,
ditche-s and channels, pipes, and culverts for ensuring proper discharge of -water. We also
ensure that adequate sizes and proper alignment are used for the specific energy condition
and volumetric discharge at the project location.
Street Plans and Profile Sheets: DMc checks these plans for conformance with
standards and practices of street plan and profiles, including: stationing, bearings, scales,
elevations, and curve aligmnents. In checking the 5tJ:eet construction plan view, we ,vill
look for the following features:
1. Pavement edges, curbs and gutters, median curbs, barrier curbs, traffic separators,
sidewalks, retaining walls, steps, bridges, approach slabs, etc.
2, Station of return points, with grade elevations of gutters or pavement edges at these
points.
3. Station of radius points of traffic separators or median curbs at media.! openings.
4, Stations of end of curbs and gutters at side street intersections.
5. Limits of grading at side street intersections.
6, Control radii for traffic turns when these set median nose locations.
7, Proposed drainage.
8, Construction linûts.
The profile views for street construction will be checked for:
1. Scales
2. Vertical elevations including existing ground line, proposed profile grade, vertkal
curve elevations, high water elevations, station equations, exceptions, reference.
points, and benchmark notes
3. Project limits
4. Location of underground utilities including all water and gas mains, and all sanitary
sewers and ducts.
5. Clarity of utility lines when a nunlber of various kinds are present.
6, Gutter profile grades.
7. Gutter grades at street intersections.
8. Stonn sewer drains.
Earthwork: DMc checks earthwork pJan to help the client ensure that the scope of the cut
and fill operations is sufficient to meet the requirements of the roadway or land development
construction. We also ensure that the proposed type of earthwork suits the location and
purpose ofilie project.
