BACKGROUND
The existing Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station, located at 23740 Magic Mountain Parkway,
was constructed in 1972. The facility consists of a 25,100 -square -foot main building and a 6,360 -
square -foot service building. Since the time the station was built, the population of the Santa
Clarita Valley has increased nearly six fold, from approximately 50,000 to 299,000. Given the
age of the current station and the population growth of the Santa Clarita Valley, the station is
undersized and obsolete for the current needs of the valley. The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's
Station is identified in the "Public Safety" theme of the City of Santa Clarita's strategic plan
"Santa Clarita 2020."
It has been the mutual desire of the City of Santa Clarita (City) and Los Angeles County
Supervisor Michael Antonovich to reach an agreement for the financing and construction of a
new sheriff's station to replace the existing station. The City and Los Angeles County (County)
have worked together on this common goal, and earlier this year, an agreement to construct a
new sheriff's station was reached.
At the May 24, 2016, City Council meeting, the City Council approved a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the City and the County to construct a new 44,400 -square -foot
sheriffs station, along with a 4,000 -square -foot vehicle maintenance facility and helipad to
replace the existing station. The new station will be located on City -owned property at 26201
Golden Valley Road, currently the location of Los Angeles County Fire Department's temporary
Fire Station #104. The cost for the new sheriff's station is estimated to be $51 million as
identified in the MOU.
The project to construct the new sheriffs station will consist of three phases:
Phase I - Environmental/Geotechnical to include all necessary studies and documentation to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as well as geological and civil
engineering studies, concept design, and initial project cost estimating.
Phase II - Architecture/Engineering to include schematic and final project design drawings
and the preparation of all associated architectural, structural, and civil engineering drawings and
specifications necessary for the construction of the proposed sheriffs station. This phase will
also include ongoing cost estimating and review to ensure the project does not exceed the
established project budget.
Phase III - Construction to include the main building, maintenance building, helipad, and all
onsite and offsite improvements.
The project is currently in Phase I.
Request for Proposals (RFP) were sent to qualified consultants on August 24, 2016, for the
following three tasks included in Phase I:
Page 2
Packet Pg. 51
1. Preparation of the CEQA documents and supporting environmental studies, as well as
civil engineering and concept design services.
2. Preparation of geotechnical site studies and soil testing to evaluate and determine specific
requirements for the design of the facility.
3. Cost estimating services to evaluate initial project cost estimates and review schematic
and final design drawings and specifications during Phase II to ensure project costs do
not exceed the established project budget.

The proposals from each of the companies were evaluated by staff from the City's Capital
Improvement Projects and Planning divisions, and staff from MNS Engineers, Inc. The proposals
were evaluated on a scale of 1 to 100 based on the following criteria: completeness of the
proposal; extent of experience on similar projects; quality and experience of the project
management team members; demonstrated understanding of the project scope; and the ability to
meet the required schedules. Cost proposals were opened after the most qualified consultant was
selected.
As part of the RFP for geotechnical service, staff included information on the existing site
condition for review and for incorporation into the proposal. Geocon West, Inc., did not
demonstrate full understanding of the scope of the project and the existing site condition. As part
of the RFP for cost estimating services, staff included experience with essential building as a
criterion. WM2S, Inc., did not have the necessary experience working on essential building
facilities, particularly law enforcement buildings.

Packet Pg. 52
Based on the scoring for each of the three services above, staff recommends awarding the
contracts to the following companies:
• Hunsaker & Associates for environmental, civil engineering, and concept design services
• R. T. Frankian & Associates for geotechnical services
• Sierra West Group, Inc., for cost estimating services
Each of these companies clearly demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs,
provided a detailed scope of work, and have extensive experience with similar projects. In
addition, R. T. Frankian & Associates and Hunsaker & Associates have provided a high level of
service on other City projects in the past.
The requested contingency fee associated with each of the three services will cover any
additional design needs or adjustments to the scope of work that may arise during the process of
completing the work.
California Government Code 4526 prescribes the selection of consultant -related services for
required studies to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications
necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required and does not mandate the
selection of these services be based on cost.
Project Management Services
The City is currently utilizing MNS Engineers, Inc., as part of the project management team for
the proposed sheriff's station. Included with this request is funding to extend the contract with
MNS Engineers, Inc., for project management services. MNS staff has extensive knowledge and
experience working on projects with the County, including managing entitlements and
architecture for six Los Angeles County fire stations recently constructed in the Santa Clarita
Valley. Their knowledge and expertise is a valuable asset to the City and is instrumental in
expediting the process. The recommended action will continue funding for MNS Engineers, Inc.,
to assist City staff as part of the project management team.

61 7, 8, 91 11. Tebo Environmental have included specialists who are familiar with not
only their particular expertise but the Santa Clarita Valley area as well. Stantec will be
responsible for the traffic study. Stantec is uniquely qualified to prepare a traffic study
for the proposed Project, having recently completed in May 2015 a similar study on
behalf of the County of Los Angeles for a proposed 45,000 -square -foot sheriff station
near The Old Road and SR 126 in the western Santa Clarita Valley area. As part of that
study effort, Stantec undertook a comprehensive case study evaluation of an existing
County sheriff station in South Los Angeles. That station was selected due to its
comparable size, number of deputies, and operational characteristics. The case study
provided detailed information on the peak hour traffic characteristics of the South Los
Angeles station. Given the similarity to the City's current proposed Project, the findings
from that case study will be an invaluable resource for this study effort.

Subtask 2-1 — ALTA Survey
We propose to prepare an American Land Title Association (ALTA) survey for the
subject site. We propose to survey the property and prepare an ALTA that
includes 2016 ALTA Standards Table A items 1, 21 31 41 51 6(b), 7(a), 7(b)(1),
7(c), 8, 91 10a, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
The above Table A items include topography (cost and scope outlined in Task 3
below), aerial ortho photo, setting of property corners (including the Record of
Survey that will be required due to setting the corners). See attached Table A
items for descriptions of each item.
Part of the
ALTA survey
will
include the field surveying of relevant corner
monuments,
centerline ties,
and
benchmarks.
The ALTA survey will also include the mapping of onsite easements of record.
The Client will need to provide a title report for the property. Offsite easements
will be mapped in the "As -built Survey Plan" scope item below.
Output Subtask 2-1
• Signed original of ALTA survey as described above
• Record of Survey if warranted
• Setting of Property corners if warranted
Subtask 2-2 - Aerial topography — Onsite and offsite
We propose to compile topo for the project site, and 500 feet beyond the property
lines, to 40 -scale mapping accuracy. Topography is proposed to be gathered by
aerial means and compiled with one -foot contours. Scope and fee includes setting
aerial control. The offsite areas beyond the property lines will be an Alternate A
cost item.
Output Subtask 2-2
• Raw cadd files of compiled topography
• Color Ortho Photo
Plotting of aerial topo will be part of the ALTA survey and also most of the
technical plans described below.
Page 9
WORK STATEMENT
Subtask 2-3 - Design Topography — Onsite and Offsite
We will shoot inlet and outlet inverts for the 12" road drain. We will also survey
visible signs of utilities and other encumbrances on site and public rights-of-way
where improvements are anticipated, including electrical wires and poles. Where
available, we will have Underground Service Alert mark the known utilities in the
area. The offsite areas beyond the property lines will be an Alternate A cost item,
except for offsite utilities that are required for the Base Scope of Work.
Output Subtask 2-3
• Plotting of design topography will be part of the As -built survey below. The
design topography will also be used for most of the technical plans described
below.
Subtask 2-4 — As -built Survey Plan — Onsite and Offsite
Based on the survey tasks above, aerial and design topography, we will prepare an
as -built plan for the subject site and offsite areas. The as -built survey plan shall
include the onsite easements as mapped per the above ALTA.
As an Alternate A cost item the as -built survey shall also include offsite easements
mapped on assessor parcels 2836-016-030, and 2836-012-032, as well as preparing
record -data boundaries for these two parcels. Plotting of record boundaries and
mapping of easements within these offsite areas shall require a title report for these
parcels to be provided to our office.
Output Subtask 2-4
• Plotting of boundaries, aerial topo, design topography and both on- and off-
site (Alt. A) easements.
Subtask 2-5 — Engineered Site Plan
Prior to commencing with the Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan, we shall
prepare an engineered site plan based on the site plan to be developed by WLC
Architects. The site plan will be a fully -dimensioned plotting of all structures and site
improvements, as well as applicable typical sections. The plan will include a
preliminary design for the driveway approaches. We will ensure that all onsite
access meets the requirements of the Sheriffs Department, as well as the codified
requirements of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The site plan shall
include pertinent information such as project address, gross and net areas, assessor
Page 10
WORK STATEMENT
parcel numbers, number and type of parking stalls, description of site amenities.
Improvements for the offsite areas beyond the property lines will be an Alternate A
cost item.
Output Subtask 2-5
Engineered Site Plan at 1" =40'
Subtask 2-6 - Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan
Based on the above-mentioned engineered site plan, we propose to prepare a
preliminary grading and drainage plan. Prior to commencing with grading design,
we shall review soils reports and review existing hydrologic information. Once all
known constraints have been determined, we will prepare a 20 -scale grading and
drainage plan for building pads, slopes, water quality/LID areas, adjacent right-of-
way grading, and limits and depths of remedial grading, if necessary. The grading
and drainage plan will also include a preliminary design of the entry driveway from
Golden Valley Road to the building pad. It is our understanding that a specification
will be provided for a proposed car wash facility so that we may incorporate this unit
in our grading and drainage design. The grading [plan will include contour grading
for the site, pad elevations, and spot grades where necessary for ADA access.
If allowed by the adjacent property owners, Hunsaker shall design an approximate 5 -
foot wide flat strip along the north and west property lines to allow for "buffer
grading" on adjacent properties to allow for suitable future grades on those
properties to prevent conflicts with potential future construction on those properties.
We will also coordinate with the project soils engineer to determine what, if any,
improvements need to be done to the adjacent debris basin to project development
on the Sheriff's Station site. We will prepare cross sections in at least two locations
across the site to show critical locations. We will provide two iterations of grading
studies. The offsite grading scope of work will be an Alternate A cost item.
In the event that adjacent property owners are not amendable to grading on their
properties, we will add the necessary walls along the perimeter to allow to the
maximum pad area. Walls will be detailed on the plan and included in the cross
sections.
In addition to the above, drainage for the site will be picked up onsite (from onsite
and offsite as necessary) and conveyed to a storm drain system or directly to the
street (Golden Valley Road). All other flows not captured in storm drain facilities will
remain substantially the same in volume, quality and disposition as they were in the
pre -development condition. Potential flooding from offsite properties (if any) will be
Page 11
WORK STATEMENT
addressed by providing secondary overflow routes.
Output Subtask 2-6
• Title sheet
• Plan sheets for grading and drainage at V=20' scale.
• Cross sections and details
Subtask 2-7 - Preliminary Grading Quantities
Based on the grading shown for the site plan, we propose to prepare an earthwork
quantity estimate to verify earthwork balance for the proposed design. We will use
the results of this estimate to achieve an approximate earthwork balance with the
proposed grading design. Once we have completed the above preliminary grading
plan, we will again quantify the earthwork to verify balance. A total volume will be
determined for CEQA purposes and final adjustments made during final engineering.
The earthwork estimate will include mass -excavation (taken to pad or pavement
subgrade), remedial quantities, shrinkage, subsidence, and bulking as necessary.
All recommendations will be provided by the soils engineer.
If the Alternate A scope of work is chosen, we will separately quantify the offsite
earthwork.
Output Subtask 2-7
• Two iterations of earthwork quantities
• Cut/Fill earthwork exhibit
• Offsite earthwork quantities as Alternate A scope of work
Subtask 2 8 - Preliminary Retaining Wall Exhibit
Based on the preliminary grading and drainage plan, we will prepare an exhibit
which shows limits and heights of retaining walls for the purposes of determining
quantities only. No structural calculations, details or profiles will be prepared.
Alternative wall types will be identified if required due the height or cost of the walls.
As the Base scope, we will
include
retaining walls along
the perimeter of the
property. Retaining walls that
may be
necessary to support
offsite grading will be
considered Alternate A scope
of work.
Page 12
WORK STATEMENT
Output Subtask 2-8
Retaining wall exhibit
Subtask 2-9 - Utility Study and Composite Exhibit
We propose to prepare a utility concept plan to show water, sewer, and storm drain,
gas, electric, telecom, and cable lines to serve the project, as well as the project's
points of connections to existing facilities. We will also size the facilities for
quantities purposes. The exhibit will show the extension of lines, as necessary, to
serve the project. An offsite sewer area study it not anticipated to be necessary and
therefore is excluded from this scope of work.
It is understood that City staff will be providing utility coordination with the utility
providers, and will also be gathering utility base maps from each company.
Hunsaker will take those base maps and utilize them in the preparation of the utility
composite.

Subtask 2-10 - Conceptual Street Improvements — Golden Valley Road
We will prepare a composite of the full -width street improvements along the project
frontage. The exhibit will include proposed driveway and signal locations, street
widening, curb/gutter, sidewalk, street lights, fire hydrants (if necessary), bus
turnout, and medians with necessary turn pockets. At this time no deceleration/right-
turn pocket lanes are required for the project. We will compile a cross section of
existing, full -width street improvements, and another for proposed improvements.
The exhibit will also include a conceptual design for extending the sidewalk on the
west side of Golden Valley Road, along the project frontage, from its current
terminus. The sidewalk will allow for pedestrian and bicycle access to the site from
Centre Point Parkway.
The conceptual street improvement plan will include a preliminary design for the
project's three driveway approaches.

plan, utility study, grading quantities, street improvements and retaining walls.
Output Subtask 2-12
• One quantity and cost estimate for improvements related to the project as
proposed with the Alternate A scope of work.
Subtask 2-13 — Value Engineering Study
We shall prepare a value engineering study to compare costs and feasibility of the
Base scope of work versus the Alternate A scope of work construction costs. The
study will compare the extent of offsite grading improvements along the northerly
and southerly boundaries, versus the cost to add walls along the perimeter.
Output Subtask 2-13
• Study of onsite and offsite alternatives which maximize pad area while
minimizing total costs and offsite improvements.
Subtask 2-14 - Hydrology and LID Study
We propose to prepare a hydrology and LID study for the site to determine
improvements required and identify any potential impacts. Offsite hydrology will be
based upon the studies prepared for the existing facilities, or flow rates based upon
the existing approved plans. The existing drains downstream of the site may not
have the capacity to convey all of the runoff from the site at the crossing with the
railroad, and some detention may be required. If detention is required, we will
determine the storage volume required and identify the basin location conceptually.
Page 14
WORK STATEMENT
The final detention basin calculations and design will be based upon the location of
the outlets into the Santa Clara River. As flow in the river exceeds 25,000 cfs
(26,210 cfs FEMA Q-100), the site is exempt from any hydromodifcation analysis.

Under the Alternate A scope of work, we propose to prepare a hydrology study for
the area tributary to the existing debris basin to the south of the project site, as well
as the road drain that outlets on the other side of Golden Valley Road. We will
review existing reports and area topography, as well as coordinate with the project
geotechnical engineer on their analysis and recommendations for the basin. We will
prepare calculations and a report that outline the volume of storm water and debris
in the 2-, 5-, 10-7 25-, and Capital Flood storm events. We will calculate a water
surface elevation in the basin which should help to determine what, if any, further
improvements to the basin and outlet pipe are necessary, based on the
recommendations of the project geotechnical engineers.

TASK 3.0 TRAFFIC STUDY
Subtask 3-1 - Traffic Analysis
The proposed Project is anticipated to require a Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND). In support of the MND, a traffic study will be prepared consistent with the
requirements of the City of Santa Clarita. Having prepared numerous traffic studies
for projects within the City, such as the Sand Canyon Plaza Mixed -Use Project, Villa
Metro, Five Knolls, The Master's University, and the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital,
Stantec is highly knowledgeable of the City's preferences for traffic study methods
and procedures. The traffic study will be prepared under the direction of Daryl
Zerfass, a Registered Professional Traffic Engineer in the State of California.
The study area will include evaluation of the Project's impacts to Golden Valley
Road and the adjacent intersections. At a minimum, the study will include analysis of
the Project's proposed access locations onto Golden Valley Road, the existing
signalized intersection just north of the Project site at Centre Pointe Parkway/Golden
Valley Road, and the existing signalized intersection just south of the Project site at
Robert C. Lee Parkway/Golden Valley Road. If necessary based on the volume and
distribution of Project traffic, up to three additional intersections will be included in
the study area and evaluated. These intersections will be determined after
preliminary analysis of the trip generation and distribution, but would potentially
include other key signalized intersections such as Sierra Highway/Golden Valley
Page 16
WORK STATEMENT
Road, Valley Center Drive/Golden Valley Road, and Valley Center Drive/Soledad
Canyon Road.
As part of the analysis, the proposed driveway locations and access controls will be
evaluated. The proposed configuration consisting of right-in/right-out/left-in at the
northerly staff only driveway and the center public driveway, along with full access
with an emergency -only traffic signal at the southerly driveway, will be studied.
Traffic signal warrants will be prepared for each driveway, and alternative
configurations to those listed above will be screened for feasibility. If an emergency -
only traffic signal is recommended, the traffic study will discuss the need for advance
warning signage.
A Class I bike path runs parallel to Golden Valley Road on the east side of the
highway, opposite of the Project site. The traffic study will address connectivity
between the path and the Project site. Crossing Golden Valley Road, a major
highway with a 50 mph speed limit, with an uncontrolled and potentially unmarked
crossing may not be advisable. As such, the traffic study will present potential
crossing treatments for consideration. Golden Valley Road does not include
sidewalks on either side of the roadway; therefore, a pedestrian access assessment
will be prepared for the site.
Traffic Data/Existing Conditions
Traffic counts will be collected for each study location, including peak hour
intersection turning movement counts, 24-hour midblock roadway counts, and the
volume of bicycles utilizing the Class I trail. The traffic counts will be collected on a
typical weekday when school is in session. Recently prepared traffic studies for
other projects in the area will be obtained and reviewed for background information.
Traffic Analysis
The volume of vehicle
trips generated
by
the proposed
Project will be
estimated
based on available data
for a project
of
this
type such as
data obtained
by Stantec
in March 2015 from a case study of a comparable Los Angeles County Sheriff
Station in South Los Angeles. For that case study, Stantec coordinated with the
County Sheriffs staff to identify, an existing station that closely matched a station
similar to the new station being proposed at that time, which is also very similar to
the proposed Santa Clarita station. It was determined that the Sheriff's station on
Imperial Highway, near Normandy Avenue, was comparable in size, number of
deputies, and operational characteristics. Traffic counts were collected at the South
Los Angeles station's driveways to determine the volumes of project traffic
generated during the AM and PM peak hours of the adjacent roadway. A
Page 17
WORK STATEMENT
comparison was also made to published case studies of several police stations in
Portland, Oregon to validate the results. Stantec will present each set of data to the
City's engineering staff to review, and will coordinate with staff to determine the
appropriate set of trip rates for this study effort. Trip generation estimates for the
proposed Project will then be determined.
Intersection analysis will be prepared for the horizon years typically needed for
environmental analysis, specifically, existing plus Project conditions and opening day
cumulative conditions. Methodologies to derive background traffic volumes for
opening day cumulative conditions, such as growth factoring, use of the City's
Interim Year traffic model, or interpolation with long-range data, will be discussed
with City engineering staff, and an appropriate method will be determined for use in
the study. Opening day cumulative condition traffic forecasts will then be derived for
no project background conditions.
Distribution patterns for Project -generated traffic will be determined and applied to
background conditions to derive "with project" conditions. The traffic forecasts will be
utilized to calculate intersection levels of service, and Project impacts will be
determined based on the City's established impact thresholds. Project impacts, if
any, will be determined and mitigation identified as necessary.
Output Subtask -3-1
Traffic Impact Analysis Report. The results of the analysis described above will
be documented in a stand-alone report suitable for submittal to the City of Santa
Clarita and for use as a supporting document for the Project's environmental
documentation. An initial draft will be prepared for City review and comment,
followed by a final report.
TASK 4.0 NOISE STUDY
Subtask 4-1 — Noise Study
PES will prepare a technical noise analysis to address construction and operational
noise impacts for the Project. For the construction analysis, this proposal assumes
baseline 15 -minute Leq noise measurements will be recorded at up to 5 locations,
and any sensitive receptors in the site's vicinity will be identified and mapped.
Construction noise and vibration impacts will be quantified and appropriate
mitigation measures will be identified, as needed.
With respect to operations, the RFP states that the following operational noise
sources should be analyzed: roadway traffic noise, helicopter operations, Code 3
sirens during emergency responses, public address system, vehicle maintenance
Page 18
activities, and mobile gun range. Traffic noise impacts will be modeled with the data
from the Project Traffic Study. Based on our communications with the City, this
proposal assumes that the analysis of the remaining Sheriff operations would be
completed with the use of field measurement data for each source. Specifically, this
proposal assumes a reference noise measurement at an existing Sheriff Station for
each of the following issues associated with Project operations: helicopter
operations, Code 3 sirens during emergency responses, public address system,
vehicle maintenance activities, and mobile gun range. This proposal assumes that
short-term noise measurements will be recorded at up to 5 total locations.

Subtask 5-1 — Helipad Design
Based on the helipad study and site plan from WLC (Task 10) Hunsaker will develop a
conceptual grading and paving plan for the helipad for review by the Sheriff's
Department and Caltrans. Prior to commencement of design, the Project Team will
coordinate with the City, Caltrans, and the Sheriffs Department on the desired criteria
for the helipad and allowable flight paths. The plan will allow for ADA compliance with a
path of travel outlined by the project architect. The plan will also include cross sections
of the helipad, cut at the most critical locations.
Output Subtask -5-1
• 10 -scale helipad plan including cross sections and delineated flight paths
TASK 6.0 Air Quality Modeling and Analysis
Subtask 6-1 — Air Quality Modeling and Analysis
PES will conduct air quality modeling to address the Project's construction and
operational air quality impacts. Impacts will be primarily assessed using the
California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) and SCAQMD's Localized
Significance Thresholds (LST) Methodology. CaIEEMod is a statewide land use
emissions computer model designed to provide a uniform platform for government
agencies, land use planners, and environmental professionals to quantify potential
criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with construction
Page 19
WORK STATEMENT
and operational impacts from a variety of land use projects. With respect to
operational traffic impacts, PES will utilize the traffic generation data provided in the
Project traffic report to estimate air quality emissions generated by motor vehicles
accessing the Project.
With respect to CO Hotspots, SCAQMD recommends an evaluation of potential
localized CO impacts when volume to capacity (V/C) ratios are increased by two
percent or more at intersections with a level of service (LOS) of C or worse, and/or
when the LOS for an intersection worsens from C to D or worse. Based on the size
of the Project and CO attainment status for the Basin, it is anticipated that CO
Hotspot analyses would not be required. If the need for CO hotspot analyses
becomes required, our scope and cost proposal will need to be amended
accordingly.
With respect to the localized construction analysis, it is noted that the Project Site is
7.9 acres and will include grading activities. As stated in the RFP, the site was
previously graded and thus light grading would be anticipated. This proposal
assumes that localized construction analysis can be completed without refined
dispersion modeling, such as the use of AERMOD. If the need for refined dispersion
modeling is requested or required for the construction air quality analysis, our scope
and cost estimate would need to be revised accordingly.
PES will prepare the impact discussion for the air quality section based on the Initial
Study Environmental Checklist contained in Appendix G to the CEQA Guidelines
and consistent with City and SCAQMD protocol. The discussion will include a
description of the existing baseline conditions, identification of sensitive receptors in
the project area that may be impacted by the project, a detailed impact analysis
against state, regional, and/or local thresholds, and identification of relevant and
necessary mitigation measures. The level of discussion in the analysis would be
satisfactory in addressing the required impact areas, and the responses to the
CEQA Environmental Checklist would be concise and to the point, focusing on the
impact analysis with an abbreviated discussion on the regulatory environmental
setting. Calculation and modeling data would be provided as appendices to the
MND.
Output Subtask -6-1
Calculation and modeling data appended to the Initial Study and responses to
the air quality questions contained in Appendix G.

Page 20
WORK STATEMENT
PES proposes to quantify the potential GHG emissions associated with the Project
in compliance with the 2010 CEQA Guidelines amendments. Using CalEEMod as
described previously, the specific tasks to be performed will include the following:
Calculate existing Project Site GHG emissions;
Calculate the Project's construction GHG emissions;
• Calculate the Project's Net Increase in GHG emissions; and
• Evaluate if the Project would conflict with an applicable plan, policy or
regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of
greenhouse gases.
PES will prepare the impact discussion for the GHG section based on the Initial
Study Checklist Questions contained in Appendix G to the CEQA Guidelines and
consistent with City and SCAQMD protocol. The discussion will include a description
of the existing baseline conditions, a detailed impact analysis against state, regional,
and/or local thresholds, and identification of relevant and necessary mitigation
measures. The level of discussion in the analysis would be satisfactory in
addressing the required impact areas, and the responses to the CEQA
Environmental Checklist questions would be concise and to the point, focusing on

TASK 7.0 PHASE I SITE ASSESSMENT
Subtask 7-1 - Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Jacob & Hefner (JHA) will complete the Phase I Site Assessment/ Phase I ESA
(Current ASTM Standard E 1527-13). The objective of a Phase I ESA is to identify
recognized environmental conditions (RECs), historical recognized environmental
conditions (HRECs), and controlled recognized environmental conditions (CRECs)
at the site. As defined in the American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM)
Designation E 1527-13, RECs include "the presence or likely presence of any
hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: 1) due to
release to the environment; 2) under conditions indicative of a release to the
environment; or 3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to
the environment. De minimis conditions are not recognized environmental
conditions". HRECs include "a past release of any hazardous substances or
Page 21
WORK STATEMENT
petroleum products that has occurred in connection with the property and has been
addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or meeting
unrestricted use criteria established by a regulatory authority, without subjecting the
property to any required controls". CRECs include "a recognized environmental
condition resulting from a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum
products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory
authority, with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in
place subject to the implementation of required controls. A CREC shall be listed in
the findings section and as a REC in the conclusion section of the report". ASTM E
1527-13 is also the standard to satisfy the federal All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI)
standard.
A qualified Environmental Professional will perform the scope of service for the ESA.
The proposed scope of service will include the following tasks: JHA will review any
previously -prepared environmental documents pertaining to the site that would be
provided by the City of Santa Clarita or the Los Angeles County Fire Department;
JHA will review historical aerial photographs, topographic maps, Sanborn Fire Maps
(if prepared for the site vicinity), telephone directory abstracts, and readily available
historical documents for the site and vicinity for evidence of the historical use of the
site and the site vicinity that could potentially represent a recognized environmental
condition; JHA will obtain and review various reasonable ascertainable currently
available federal, state, and county lists of properties or businesses within various
radii up to a 1 -mile radius from the perimeter of the site, with known or suspected
contamination or that use, store, or generate hazardous materials. These lists
include hazardous waste generators, reported spills, underground tanks owners,
aboveground tank owners, state and federal superfund properties, RCRA properties,
and properties that store and use acutely toxic substances; JHA will review historical
building records, if appropriate; JHA will obtain and review an Environmental Lien
Search Report for the Site's two APNs (2836-012-905 and 2836-016-909); JHA will
perform a site and site vicinity reconnaissance to evaluate the potential for
recognized environmental conditions as described above. JHA will make an effort to
interview individuals who may have knowledge of the property and any facilities that
may have been on the property in the past; JHA will observe adjacent and nearby
properties from the public right-of-ways or the site boundaries for indications of
environmental concerns; and, JHA will prepare a report within two weeks of the site
visit.

TASK 8.0 BIOLOGICAL STUDY
Glenn Lukos Associates (GLA) shall conduct a general biological survey that
includes a habitat assessment for special -status plants and animals, including
those that are federally or state listed as endangered or threatened, all as identified
in the California Natural Diversity Database, the California Native Plant Society
Rare Plant Inventory, or otherwise identified as being potential inhabitants of the
Project site. Based on site conditions, focused surveys have been included for the
following species: rare plants, coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica
californica), and burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia).
To ensure that the CEQA document can be used for permitting through the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Regional Water Quality
Control Board (Regional Board), it is necessary to make sure that the CEQA
document addresses the extent of impacts to CDFW, Regional Board, and U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) jurisdiction and mitigation for said impacts.
Therefore, GLA is proposing to delineate CDFW, Regional Board and Corps
jurisdiction and to document this information in a report that can be incorporated
into the CEQA document.
Review Existing Materials
Existing maps, documents, databases, and correspondence relative to the
proposed Project will be reviewed and analyzed. Included in this task will be a
review of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), the California Native
Plant Society (CNPS) Rare Plant Inventory, the Federal Register, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) occurrence data, and previous biological documentation
prepared for the vicinity. GLA will obtain a list of federally listed plants and animals
that may be in the vicinity of the Project using the on-line USFWS IPaC website
(https://ecos.fvvs.gov/ipac/).
Prior to the start of work, GLA will need the following materials:
1. A recent color aerial photograph of the site at a scale of not less than
200 feet to the inch. Preferably, we would like to have the aerial
photograph as a geo-referenced and ortho-rectified digital file (TIFF
format in State Plane Coordinates).
Page 23
WORK STATEMENT
2. A digital file of the base topographic map of the Project area (DWG
format in State Plane Coordinates).
3. A digital file of the plan view of the Project boundary, proposed grading,
and other infrastructural improvements as an overlay to the existing topo
(DWG format in State Plane Coordinates and PDF files).
Subtask 8-1 - Conduct General Biological Surveys
GLA biologists shall conduct general biological surveys for the property, recording
all flora and fauna observed on-site in field notes. This work will include a habitat
assessment for special status plants and animals known to occur in the range of
the Project. If any sensitive species and/or habitats are identified during
performance of general surveys, their descriptions shall be recorded in field notes,
and locations will be indicated on a map of the site. Lists of all flora and fauna
identified on-site shall be included in flora and fauna compendia prepared for
inclusion in the final biological technical report. A map of sensitive species/habitat
locations shall also be included in the report.
A preliminary review of the CNDDB and the CNPS, and satellite images of the
Project, suggests that the Project area may include habitat for plant and/or animal
species that will require focused surveys to determine presence/absence. As such,
we have included focused surveys for the following species: rare plants, burrowing
owl, and coastal California gnatcatcher, as it appears that focused survey work for
these species will be necessary. Although we have made every effort to include all
potential species/resource issues in this proposal, if habitat for any other species
(that may pose a constraint to the Project) is found during field studies, GLA will
work with the client to see if minor design changes can help the Project avoid such
habitats or, if not possible, GLA can prepare a separate proposal to perform the
additional required focused surveys.

GLA biologists shall conduct focused surveys for sensitive plant species that have
the potential to occur on-site. Please be aware that focused surveys for many plant
species can only be performed during specific times of the year (spring through
early summer). GLA will perform the focused plant surveys coinciding with the
blooming periods for the target species, as applicable. The identification of any
sensitive species on-site will be recorded in field notes, and their locations, and
approximate numbers will be noted on a map of the site to be submitted with the
final biological technical report. All flora and fauna identified on-site during
performance of focused surveys will be included in flora and fauna compendia
prepared for the property.
Output Subtask -8-3
• Focuses plan surveys
Subtask 8-4 -Conduct Focused Burrowing Owl Surveys
The Project site contains suitable habitat for the burrowing owl (Athene
cunicularia). GLA biologist shall conduct presence/absence surveys for the
burrowing owl following survey guidelines identified in the CDFW 2012 Staff Report
on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. Pursuant to the survey guidelines, four survey visits
must be conducted to confirm absence of burrowing owls. Please be aware that
focused surveys for many plant and animal species can only be performed during
specific times of the year. For rare plants and burrowing owl, the surveys must
occur in spring to early summer. For coastal California gnatcatcher, surveys can
occur any time of year, with the breeding survey occurring in the spring and being
most cost effective (compared to the nonbreeding survey). For this proposal, we
assumed a breeding survey for gnatcatcher since both the rare plant survey and
owl survey would need to occur in the spring thru early summer.
The first survey must be conducted between February 15 and April 15. Three more
surveys must be conducted with at least three weeks separating each visit from
April 15 to July 15, with one visit conducted after June 15. GLA biologists will
conduct a systematic survey for burrows (both natural burrows and any suitable
man-made structures), including burrows containing diagnostic owl sign (e.g.,
whitewash, pellets, bones, feathers). The location of all suitable burrowing owl
habitat, potential owl burrows, burrowing owl sign, and any owls directly observed
Page 25
WORK STATEMENT
will be recorded and mapped. If suitable burrows are identified on-site, then GLA
will conduct additional focused burrowing owl surveys to satisfy the requirements
of a complete protocol survey. The results of the focused burrowing owl surveys
will be included in the Biological Technical Report.

Subtask 8-5 -Conduct Focused Breeding Surveys for the Coastal California
Gnatcatcher
A biologist with a Federal Section 10(a)(1)(A) permit will conduct protocol
presence/absence surveys for the coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila
californica califomica) in all areas of suitable habitat within the Project site. GLA
will submit a notification to USFWS at least 10 days prior to conducting the
surveys, and will obtain at least a verbal approval to proceed.
Protocol surveys will follow the 1997 USFWS survey guidelines, which for the
gnatcatcher includes a minimum of six surveys conducted at least one week apart
from March 15 to June 30 (breeding season protocol).
To comply with permit requirements, the biologist must submit a report to USFWS
documenting the results of focused surveys within 45 days of completion of
surveys. Results of the survey will be incorporated also into the biological technical
report.
Output Subtask -8-5

biological surveys and habitat assessments. The biological technical report will
provide a full description of the existing conditions on the site, including vegetation
communities (vegetation map included), sensitive plants or animals identified on-
site (sensitive species map to be included), wildlife movement corridors present on
site (if applicable), and a discussion of sensitive plants and animals not identified
on-site and whether there are sensitive plants and/or animals with potential to
occur on the site in a constraining role. The biological technical report will evaluate
Project impacts to biological resources, including special status species and will
develop mitigation measures where Project impacts to biological resources have

Subtask 8-7 - Delineate Onsite Federal and State Agency Jurisdiction
Existing maps, documents, and correspondence relative to the proposed Project
will be reviewed and analyzed. New information requirements will be identified, and
strategies for acquiring this information will be determined.
A field team of regulatory specialists will delineate Corps jurisdictional boundaries
within the Project site. The field team will investigate specific conditions relating to
jurisdictional criteria such as evidence of ordinary high water marks, wetland
vegetation indicator species, hydric soils, and appropriate hydrology, all as outlined
in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987
Manual) and the 2006 Arid West Supplement to the 1987 Manual.
These data will be recorded on the aerial photograph for use in preparing
jurisdictional maps and a letter report. Potential for on-site mitigation will also be
noted. The methodology set forth in the 1987 Manual and its supplement generally
requires that, in order to be considered a wetland, the vegetation, soils, and
hydrology of an area exhibit at least minimal hydric characteristics.
As part of the jurisdictional delineation, GIA's team of regulatory specialists will
also evaluate the regulatory status of the Project area based upon the recent June
5, 2007, Corps and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulatory guidance
associated with the U.S. Supreme Court case titled Rapanos v. United States and
Carabell v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Rapanos). This evaluation will assess
the flow characteristics and functions of a tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if
any, to determine whether a significant chemical, physical, and biological nexus
exists between the on-site drainage feature(s) and downstream traditional
navigable waters.
A field team of regulatory specialists will delineate CDFW jurisdictional boundaries
within the Project site. All intermittent and ephemeral streams, rivers, creeks, dry
washes, sloughs, blue -line streams, and watercourses with subsurface flows,
canals, aqueducts, irrigation ditches, and other means of water conveyance, and
lakes will be examined for indicators of CDFW jurisdiction.
Page 27
WORK STATEMENT
These indicators include biologic components of aquatic systems (such as riparian
vegetation) and physical features (such as a bed or channel, banks, levees,
instream features such as logs or snags, and flood plains). Measurements of this
jurisdiction will be taken at periodic intervals along the drainage and mapped onto
a 200 -scale topographic map. Isolated wetlands (such as vernal pools) are
generally not considered to be within CDFW jurisdiction.
The Regional Board's jurisdiction pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
will be identical to that of the Corps pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act. However, where the Corps declines jurisdiction due to isolation or lack of
nexus with interstate waters, the Regional Board will claim jurisdiction over such
waters pursuant to the Porter -Cologne Act. GLA will identify and delineate any
such waters and keep track of those waters separately from those within Corps
jurisdiction.

TASK 9.0 AB 52 CONSULTATION
Subtask 9-1 - Native American Consultation
The record search includes a request to the Native American Heritage Commission
(NAHC) to review the Sacred Lands Inventory, which will result in a letter report
from the commission and a list of Native Americans with an expressed interest in
the area of coverage. We would request a copy of all correspondence with the
NAHC, the date of the request, and follow-up letters to the Native American groups
identified by the NAHC.
This proposal provides only the most basic notification process, i.e., notifying the
Native American Heritage Commission, obtaining the list of interested persons,
and a letter query requesting their input. The Agency may wish to pursue additional
input, i.e., meetings that are not budgeted. We would like the Agency to determine
what the level of effort would be and we would budget accordingly.

TASK 10.0 ARCHITECTURE
The following is a list of the basic activities and services to be provided during the
course of Task 10. The scope has been divided into the items outlined in the
RFP for Conceptual Design Architectural services.
The architectural project team will review project data and Needs Assessment
documents for project parameters. Meetings with city staff and sheriff's staff will
be conducted in order to refine the design documents already established thus
far which will become the basis for the conceptual design. Our approach to the
design of your facility establishes a well -crafted set of work tasks, responsibilities,
and products to provide thoughtful solutions that innovate the best possible
responses to the City of Santa Clarita and Sheriff's needs, opportunities, and
available resources.
During Pre- Design for your project, the following tasks, sub -tasks and output
deliverables have been identified:
Subtask 10-1 Develop Floor Plans for Sheriff's Station and Vehicle Maintenance
Buildings
Page 29

The project team will review project data and Needs Assessment documents to
refine the current concept floor plan.
Further refine the plan to establish clear, public, staff, and departmental areas in
order to maximize functional efficiency, privacy, and security economy with
security as a priority.
Work with city staff and sheriff's staff in meetings/workshops to create a
community oriented, inviting design that initiates public confidence and support
while reinforcing the caliber of professionalism within the City of Santa Clarita
and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. Preferences for architectural style and
elements will be established from these workshops to aid designers in the
succeeding tasks.
Create alternate facility plans for the project to include all the major project
elements identified within the Architectural Program. The alternative
configurations shall be quickly explored with staff in order to evaluate the best
opportunities.
Floor Plan Code Analysis shall be prepared based upon all applicable building
codes having jurisdiction over the project. A preliminary occupancy and exiting

to ensure that project participants understand the nature of design concepts and
can easily distinguish attributes and differences occurring between different
schemes for comparison and evaluation.
Multiple perspective views from Golden Valley Road will be generated with the 3-
D model which will be inserted into a Google Map format so the resulting design
can be viewed from any angle from the actual site. The software will allow for
shade and shadowing so window and screening devices can be correctly placed
for maximum energy efficiency in the design.

Under the direction of Tebc Consulting, Greenwood and Associates will conduct an
archaeological survey for the new Sheriff Station, (Golden Valley Road) for the City
of Santa Clarita in the County of Los Angeles. The project will include a "Base"
cost and "Alternate A" cost. Base cost includes all onsite work and Alternate A will
include all offsite work.
It is anticipated that no more than 8 acres (10 for Alternate Al will be surveyed and
that Native American consultation (AS -52. Task 9) will be necessary. To comply
with various statutory requirements, an archaeological inventory and report of
findings have been requested.
Record Search
Archival research will be conducted at the South Central Coastal Information
Center, California State University, Fullerton. The records search will be
conducted within a 0.5 mile radius of the proiect area and will review
archaeological site records, survey and excavation reports. and pertinent literature.
Sources of information may include:
• National Reaister of Historic Places
• California Register of Historical Resources
• California Historical Landmarks
• California Points of Historical Interest
• California Inventory of Historic Resources.
Page 29
WORK STATEMENT
Historical maps of the project area will be consulted, depending on availability.
These generally include 7.5' and 15' United States Geological Survey quadrangle
maps which may depict prior historical land use and topography. Please note that
the records search will be current.
Field Survey
The survey will determine, within the limitations of ground visibility, if any cultural
resources are present of either prehistoric or historical origin. Parallel transects
will be used and spaced no more than 10 meters apart. Archaeological site
records -- California Department of Parks and Recreation form 523 -- will be
updated in the event that known archaeological sites are encountered, or new
records will be prepared if previously unknown cultural resources are discovered.
Artifacts will not be collected as part of this investigation but recorded, described,
and mapped. It is our understanding that the actual parcel, inclusive of
undevelopable land, is larger than 2 acres and if time permits, spot checks will be
conducted on likely areas to contain archaeological resources. Recordation efforts
will be limited to resources that meet the definitions given for archaeological sites
as described in Instructions for Recording Historical Resources, published by the
Office of Historic Preservation (OHP 1995:3):
Site: A site is the location of a significant event, a prehistoric or
historic occupation or activity, or a building or structure, whether
standing, ruined, or vanished, where the locatlon itself possesses
historic, cultural, or archaeological value regardless of the value of
any existing structure fCHP 1995:31.
Native American Consultation
Native American Consultation: The record search includes a request to the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to review the Sacred Lands Inventory
which will result in a letter report from the commission and a listing of Native
Americans with an expressed interest in the area of coverage. We would request
a copy of all correspondence with the NAHC, the date of the request, and follow-up
letters to the Native American groups identified by the NAHC.
Native American consultation is dependent on Santa Clarita City's polices, past
practices, and depth of interaction that the Agency wants to pursue. This proposal

updated site records will be included as an appendix. It should be
noted that the locations of archaeological resources are sensitive and
are not to be released in any form to the general public. One copy of
the report will be submitted to the client and the South Central Coastal
Information Center.
TASK 10.0 ARCHITECTURE
The following is a list of the basic activities and services to be provided during the
course of Task 10. The scope has been divided into the items outlined in the
RFP for Conceptual Design Architectural services.
The architectural project team will review project data and Needs Assessment
documents for project parameters. Meetings with city staff and sheriff's staff will
be conducted in order to refine the design documents already established thus
far which will become the basis for the conceptual design. Our approach to the
design of your facility establishes a well -crafted set of work tasks, responsibilities,
and products to provide thoughtful solutions that innovate the best possible
responses to the City of Santa Clarita and Sheriff's needs, opportunities, and
available resources.

laboratory are located in the City of Santa Clarita. The firm is a California corporation and was
founded in 1963.
We have acquired experience on over 10,000 projects in the southern California region; and
this experience and the skills we have accumulated over the nearly six decades of serving southern
California enable us to provide prompt, efficient, and quality services on a vast array of projects.
We have provided services to municipalities as both part of their development/construction
inspection team and as geotechnical reviewers. We have enjoyed working with research and
agency leaders such as Mr. Jonathan P. Stewart (UCLA, Earthquake Engineering Research Inst.),
Mr. Charles Real (CGS Seismic Hazard Zone Mapping), Mr. Charles Nestle (Los Angeles
County), and Mr. Robert Newman (Santa Clarita).
The projects we have worked on include geotechnical investigation, analysis, inspection and
testing of over 125 miles of new roads and highways, 75 miles of public storm drains, 85 miles of
sanitary sewer, 200 miles of utility lines, 35 miles of soil cement, and the placement of nearly 250
million cubic yards of compacted fill, nearly 30 bridges, over 45 schools, 15 hospitals and hundreds
of subterranean structures. These projects have been under the jurisdiction and oversight of many
governmental agencies such as the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW),
Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD), California Department of Transportation (Cal -
Trans), Division of the State Architect (DSA), Office of Statewide Health Planning and
Development (OSHPD), California Geological Survey (CGS), Department of Toxic Substances
Control (DTSC), Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), Los Angeles
Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) and the Metropolitan Water District
(MWD).
Because of our extensive experience conducting geotechnical investigations we feel that we have
the experience to provide the proposed services in accordance with applicable state, county, and
municipal codes and regulations, review procedures, and guidelines particularly related to the
scope of work delineated in the RFP.
Since 1997, three of our Santa Clarita Valley projects have been recognized by the California
Geotechnical Engineers Association as part of their Outstanding Project Award program. Not only
have we worked with thousands of contractors and design consultants, but because we have the
skill and professional background, we have been chosen to perform the report review for a vast
array of geotechnical projects. We are proud to have been providing the City of Santa Clarita with
On Call Review Services since 2002.
RTF&A is the current Geotechnical Consultant of Record for the subject site. We previously
performed a geotechnical investigation and plan review of the site that was presented in our report

dated November 16, 2001 and performed observation of alluvial removals, landslide removals,
and provided compaction testing of all of the grading at the subject site as presented in our
observation and testing report dated September 26, 2003. The grading work for the future
Sheriff Station was performed as part of grading operations for the adjacent Golden Valley
Road and Golden Valley High School. The client for the previous work we performed was
the City of Santa Clarita. We are currently working with a group of landowners, developers
and other stakeholders, including the City of Santa Clarita, on the extension of Via Princessa
and surrounding development, directly to the east of the proposed Sheriff Station.
We hope this brief overview illustrates the depth of our prior background and experience with the
regional and on-site geotechnical conditions throughout southern California, but specifically in
Santa Clarita. We strongly believe we bring the experience and skills few other fines have, and
our commitment to working closely with our clients demonstrates the attribute of dependability,
as well as quality, capacity, and experience to satisfactorily perform on a project like the Santa
Clarita Valley Sheriff Station.
If you would like to discuss any aspect of this proposal or the services described within, please do
not hesitate to contact either of us at our office or by email at grasplicka@?-t tarzkian.corrI (Alan
W. Rasplicka) or ifrrmkianOrtfrarrkian.com (James A. Frankian).
We wish to take this opportunity to extend our thanks for your consideration of the services offered
by this firm.

3. WORK STATEMENT
For the purposes of discussion, it will be assumed that Golden Valley Road is oriented in a north -
south direction. The subject site is located on the west side of Golden Valley Road and is
approximately 1,800 feet south of Centre Pointe Parkway. Los Angeles County Fire Station 104
currently occupies the southern portion of the site and will require demolition prior to construction
of the subject development. The site was graded in 2001 and 2002 as part of the grading of adjacent
Golden Valley Road under the observation and testing of RTF&A. Prior to grading the site
consisted of a central northeasterly -draining canyon with natural bedrock slopes ascending north,
east, and southeast from the canyon bottom. Grading of the site consisted of cutting the bedrock
hills and filling the central canyon to establish a near -level building pad at approximate elevation
1460 feet above mean sea level. An estimate 50 feet of certified engineered fill was placed on the
site to establish grade. The engineered 611 was placed under the observation and testing of RTF&A.
The plan does not indicate existing or proposed grades and for the purposes of preparing this
proposal, it will be assumed that the proposed development will be constructed at, or near, the
existing grade.

The Site Plan indicates that the proposed development will encompass approximately 7.6 acres and
will consist of a 44,300 square foot (sf) Sheriffs Station 1 -story main building and a 4,000 sf
vehicle maintenance building, a helipad, and paved parking areas. The Sheriffs Station Building
is located in the southern portion of the site and the vehicle maintenance and helipad will be located
in the northern portion of the site. Paved parking areas will occupy the central portion of the site.
We have not been presented with structural load data for the proposed structures. For the purposes
of preparing this proposal, it will be assumed that the Sheriffs Station main building will have
column loads not exceeding 250 kips and continuous foundation loads not exceeding 4 kips per
lineal foot. It will further be assumed that the service garage will have column loads not exceeding
150 kips and continuous foundation loads not exceeding 3 kips per lineal foot.
RTF&A's scope of work contained within this proposal includes provisions for site subsurface
exploration as well as the preparation of the pertinent reports for the geotechnical services. The
scope of work includes the costs of conducting an investigation for the Sheriffs Station "Base"
Study, as well as costs for the "Alternate A" investigation for offsite areas. The proposed
geotechnical services will consist of the following:
TASK 1 - BASE STUDY GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
The scope of services for the Base Study (Sheriff s Station property only) geotechnical investigation
will consist of performing a geotechnical investigation for main building, vehicle maintenance
building, helipad, parking areas, and drive ways. The primary purpose of the geotechnical
investigation is to produce a geologic -seismic report in general accordance with "California
Geological Survey (CGS) — Note 48" guidelines for essential services buildings. All work for the
investigation will be performed under the direct supervision of a California state licensed
geotechnical engineer and/or engineering geologist.
We propose excavating a combination of borings and test pits to explore the subsurface
geotechnical conditions. CGS Note 48 requires one exploratory excavation (boring, test pit, trench,
etc.) for every 5,000 square feet of building, with a minimum of two excavations per building. The
total square footage for the Sheriffs Station main building (44,300 square feet) and the vehicle
maintenance building (4,000 square feet). Accordingly, I1 exploratory excavations will be needed
for the two buildings (nine for the main building and two for the vehicle maintenance building).
Our data indicates that portions of the site are presently underlain by compacted fill soils and that
formational material (bedrock) is exposed at the present grade in other portions of the site.
Therefore, we propose excavating additional test pits outside the building footprint to establish the

limits of existing areas of exposed and/or shallow bedrock. Additional borings and test pits will be
excavated to assess liquefaction potential, and evaluate the proposed helipad areas and retaining
walls, existing landslides and to evaluate the stockpile soils of unknown origin for potential
environmental concerns.
Undisturbed and bulk soil/rock samples will be obtained from the borings and test pits. Laboratory
testing will be determined after samples are recovered. We anticipate performing fairly typical
laboratory testing, such as moisture -density determinations, maximum dry density tests, shear tests,
consolidation tests, and sieve tests. Additionally, we will collect bulk samples of representative
earth materials to submit to outside laboratories for R -value and corrosion testing.
The soil removed from the borings and test pits will be used to backfill the excavations at the
completion of the field work. The excavations will be backfilled with nominal compaction effort.
In accordance with safety requirements of governmental agencies, we will notify Underground
Service Alert (USA) prior to our field investigation; USA requires notification at least 48 hours
(two working days) prior to excavation. It is expected that the property may have internal utility
lines or obstructions that are not within the purview of USA. Therefore, the client is responsible
for locating, removing, relocating, or protecting any existing private lines, conduits, utilities,
irrigation systems, or other obstructions, either above or below ground, which may interfere with
the scope of work being performed. We assume no responsibility for damage to any obstructions
not clearly and obviously marked immediately prior to the performance of our explorations.
In order to insure an appropriate level of accuracy during the location and excavation of the
proposed test pits and borings within the footprint of the proposed buildings, RTF&A has assumed
that the City of Santa Clarita will have the corners of all the proposed structures surveyed and staked
in the field at no cost to RTF&A prior to the initiation of the field investigation.
The subtasks associated with the Base Study Geotechnical Investigation are detailed below.
Subtask 1.1— Sheriff's Station Main Bulldiue
In order to meet the Note 48 subsurface exploration requirements, RTF&A will excavate 3 borings
and 6 test pits for the Sheriff s Station main building. The borings will range in depth from 20 to
50 feet; test pits will range from 5 to 15 feet. Data from the 50 -foot deep boring will be used in
evaluating liquefaction potential. The results of the subsurface explorations will be presented in
the Note 48 Geotechnical Report.
Subtask 1.2 — Vehicle Maintenance Building
In order to meet the Note 48 subsurface exploration requirements, the field investigation for the
vehicle maintenance building will consist of the excavation of 1 boring to 50 feet and one test pit

to 15 feet. Data from the 50 -foot boring will be used in evaluating liquefaction potential. The results
of the subsurface explorations will be presented in the Note 48 Geotechnical Report.
Subtask 1.3 —Parking Areas
Four test pits will be excavated to evaluate areas of exposed or shallow bedrock and to identify all
areas of required additional grading. The test pits will be excavated to depths of approximately 5 to
10 feet. The results of the subsurface explorations will be presented in the Note 48 Geotechnical
Report which will include grading recommendations and will identify additional areas or required
grading.
Subtask 1.4—West Property Line
As discussed during the mandatory site meeting, field explorations will be conducted along the west
property line to provide recommendations for potential future retaining walls that may be needed
for full on-site parking space development. The field investigation will consist of drilling 3 borings
to a depth of approximately 15 feet each. The results of the subsurface explorations and appropriate
geotechnical recommendations will be presented in the Note 48 Geotechnical Report
Subtask 1.5—Access Road Stability
As discussed during the mandatory site meeting, the stability of the access road/driveway will be
evaluated by excavating one boring to a depth of approximately 15 feet to obtain subsurface data
to be utilized for performing slope stability analysis for the existing northern access road.
Subtask 1.6—Helipad/Helivad Retaining Wall
As discussed during the mandatory site meeting, even if permission for offsite grading is not
obtained, it will be necessary to evaluate the helipad and a potential helipad retaining wall. On-
site investigation for the helipad and helipad retaining walls will consist of the excavation of 2
hand -auger test pits to a depth of approximately 5 feet. The results of the subsurface exploration
will be presented in the Note 48 report and will include grading and retaining wall
recommendations, as appropriate.
Subtask 1.7 --Golden Valley Road Surficial Slone Stability
As discussed at the mandatory site meeting, the stability of the descending fill slope along the east
property line of the subject site will be evaluated. The evaluation will include the excavation of
two shallow hand -auger test pits to observe the depth of weathering and existing soils conditions.
The results will be presented in the Note 48 Report and will include appropriate grading and
mitigation recommendations for permanent slopes.
Subtask 1.8 — Landslide Evaluation
A descending landslide has previously been identified by RTF&A along the western property line.
To evaluate the landslide's potential impact to site development RTF&A will excavate one bucket

auger boring near the west property line. The boring, excavated to a depth of approximately 50
feet, will be downhole logged by a California licensed engineering geologist to directly observe
possible indicators of landsliding. The results of the field exploration will be presented in the Note
48 Report and will include appropriate landslide mitigation recommendations.
Subtask 1.9—Soil Stockpile
There is an existing soil stockpile along the west site of the site. As discussed during the August
30, 2016 mandatory site meeting, the City has requested that the stockpile be investigated to
determine if there are any environmental or geotechnical concerns associated with the stockpile.
RTF&A will excavate three shallow test pits within the stockpile to evaluate the materials. Soils
excavated from the stockpile will be monitored with photo -ionization detection equipment to aid in
determining the presence of contaminated soils. If contaminated soils are identified, potential
options will be discussed with the client. Costs associated with environmental sampling and
testing are not included in the scope of work presented in this proposal. Environmental sampling
and testing would only be performed if additional authorization was obtained.
Subtask 1.10 — R -value Testing
Bulk samples of the onsite soil at two locations will be collected and submitted to an independent
laboratory for R -value testing. The results of the R -value testing will be used to develop pavement
design recommendations for Traffic Indexes of 6, 8, 9, and 10. Pavement section recommendations
will be presented in the Note 48 Report.
Subtask 1.11— Corrosion Testing
At two locations, bulk samples of the onsite soil will be collected and submitted to an independent
laboratory for corrosion testing. The results of the corrosion testing will be presented in the Note
48 Report to be used by the design team for their use in providing appropriate corrosion protection
mitigation measures.
Subtask 1.12 — Note 48 Geotechnical Report
Data derived from the site geotechnical investigation will be used to develop a geotechnical report'
suitable for submittal to the reviewing agency. The report would comply with the requirements of
CGS Note 48 and the 2013 edition of the Los Angeles County Geotechnical and Materials
Engineering Division's (GMED) "Manual for Preparation of Geotechnical Reports."
TASK 1 OUTPUT: Report of Geotechnical Investigation and Geologic -Seismic Hazard
Evaluation (Base Study Area Only1. The Note 48 report would include the following:
identification of subsurface geologic/geotechnical conditions and discussion about the
potential impact of such conditions on the proposed Sheriff Station site;

identification of existing and/or potential geologic hazards that may affect slope stability
(including landslides, daylighted bedding, potential debris flow areas, etc.);
identification of areas requiring additional grading, including additional removal and
recompaction of existing materials, and overexcavation of near -surface bedrock materials,
foundation design recommendations for the proposed structures and pole lighting;
• evaluation of the impact of existing landslides on or adjacent to the site, along with
appropriate mitigation measures;
• a determination of stability of offsite properties and impact of grading on offsite properties;
a determination of areas requiring additional grading, including additional removal and re -
compaction;
laboratory test results, including R -value and corrosion testing; and
• a geotechnical map with geologic units, geologic structure, and boring and test pit locations
plotted on the site plan.
TASK 2 - ALTERNATE A GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
The scope of services for the Alternate A geotechnical investigation will consist of exploring offsite
properties situated north, west, and south of the Sheriff's Station property line. The described scope
assumes the City of Santa Clarita will obtain permission for both access and exploration of these
areas from the adjacent property owners at no cost to RTF&A. The costs presented in this proposal
assume that if the Task 2 scope of work is authorized, that it could be performed concurrently with
the Task 1 field explorations. If the Task 2 scope of work is not able to be performed concurrently
and continuously with the Task I work, the cost of the outside services and our field costs for the
Task 2 scope of work would be expected to increase.
As described in the RFP, potential offsite grading warranting investigation includes a five-foot pad
extension along the western property line, slope stability issues along the south property line related
to potential water buildup and rapid drawdown conditions, and grading of the proposed helipad
with retaining walls in the northwest comer of the Sheriffs Station site. Previous geotechnical
reports prepared by RTF&A indicate possible landslides along the western property line. The costs
associated with offsite investigation of two potential offsite landslides to address their existence
and provide any needed mitigation measures is included in this task.

Undisturbed and bulk soil/rock samples will be obtained from the borings and test pits for laboratory
analyses. The findings from the Alternate A investigation will be incorporated into the Note 48
Geotechnical Report for the Sheriff s Station (See Task 1 Output).
The subtasks associated with the Alternate A investigation are described below.
Subtask 2.1— Landslide Evaluation
Two landslides have been identified on the west side of the site. One landslide has been identified
descending towards the Sheriffs Station building pad. This landslide could deposit slide debris
onto the pad. The other landslide descends away from the building pad and could undermine the
western edge of the pad. The landslide evaluation will include excavating one 15 -foot deep backhoe
test pit to evaluate the landslide descending towards the building pad and excavating two bucket
auger borings within the landslide that descends from the building pad. The bucket auger borings
will be drilled to depths of approximately 60 feet and will be downhole logged by a California
licensed engineering geologist.
Subtask 2.2—Helipad
RTF&A will excavate one 10 -foot deep test pit to evaluate offsite grading for the proposed helipad.
Subtask 2.3 —South Fill Slope Stability and Drainage Study_
The drainage area south of the Sheriff s Station site will be evaluated to determine the adequacy of
the existing drainage conveyance device that extends below Golden Valley Road. The evaluation
will include analyzing the stability of the descending fill slope for rapid drawdown conditions
during periods of heavy rainfall and potential water build-up in the drainage area.
Subtask 2.4 -Supplement to Note 48 Geotechnical Report

TASK 3 - LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID) EVALUATION
Presently, the site is mantled by as much as 50 feet of engineered fill. The deepest section of fill is
located in the east -central portion of the site. Near -surface bedrock materials are located along the
western portion of the site and beneath most of the engineered fill. A thin veneer of alluvial
deposits, directly beneath the engineered fill, mantles the bedrock in the area of the former central
canyon. During the site investigation, RTF&A will identify areas for infiltration testing and
conduct near surface in-situ infiltration testing within compacted fill at four separate locations.
The field infiltration test procedures and subsequent infiltration data evaluation would comply with
the GMED 2014 Guidelines for Design, Investigation, and Reporting Low Impact Development
Stormwater Infiltration Administrative Manual GS200.1.

Principal Engineering Geologist for an environmental site assessment of a former dry cleaning
facility in Burbank, California near the Los Angeles River. The site was within an area of known
groundwater contamination associated with the San Fernando Valley Superfund Site. The
assessment was conducted to determine if contamination associated with past site usage was
contributing to the regional groundwater contamination. The assessment included the drilling and
installation of three groundwater monitoring wells, installation of several soil vapor monitoring
probes, drilling and construction of soil vapor extraction wells, performance of a 60 -day soil vapor
extraction pilot test, and site remediation of impacted soil by soil vapor extraction.
• Project Engineering Geologist for numerous environmental investigations within Beale Air Force,
Marysville, California. Investigations included identifying buried underground storage tanks,
buried military ordnance and equipment, fuel spills, and aircrall crash sites.
• Principal Engineering Geologist for construction of Landfill Cell 5 at Chiquita Canyon Landfill.
Duties included geologic mapping of graded slopes and cell floor, and observation of mass
excavation of native soils and stockpile fill material to achieve liner subgrade.
• Principal Engineering Geologist for preparation of Chiquita Canyon Landfill Master Plan Revision
for future landfill expansion. Duties included geologic mapping of future landfill limits,
overseeing subsurface exploration program, evaluation of geologic structure relative to slope
stability, and preparation of geologic report.
• Principal engineering geologist for evaluation monitoring program investigations at Landers
Landfill in San Bernardino County. Field studies included deep (285 to 375 feet) well installations
near a septage pond, geologic mapping, trenching, fault and fracture analysis, and very low
frequency geophysical profiling methods. These studies identified faults acting as groundwater
barriers and groundwater mounding beneath the inactive septage disposal area.

INTRODUCTION
Sierra West Consulting Group, Inc. - (SWG) has been in business in Sacramento since 1992, and is proud to
still be serving the same community in which we started working all those years ago. Rather than a simple cost
estimation firm, we like to consider ourselves a true cost consulting company, providing the diverse range of
services needed to help clients complete their projects in a timely, accurate and exacting fashion, all on -budget
wherever possible.
SWG understands that the City of Santa Carita wishes to construct an approximately 44,000 square foot
Sheriff Station Main Building and a 4,000 square foot Vehicle Maintenance Building on approximately 7.9 acres
of land located on the west side of Golden Valley Road. The proposed project scope entails project overview
meetings with the City, the review of existing estimates, detailed cost estimates for both onsite and offsite
improvements, estimate updates at the 50% and 100% plans and specifications as well as the review of the
selected Contractors schedule of values.
The content of our proposal demonstrates the firm's solid ability to assist the City in delivering this project. Our
team is made up of a range of experts, many of whom have been a part of the company for decades. Choosing
Sierra West Consulting Group will ensure the City a highly qualified firm to aid in meeting all of the Cities
objectives.
Our close-knit coterie of elite cost estimation specialists includes:
• Experienced cost estimators who specialize in new and renovation construction
• Experts with long range facilities master planning experience and expertise
• Certified Value Specialists who bring the best possible quality of cost estimation to the table
Our position as
one of the leading cost estimation firms in the western
U.S. for more than
two decades is a
direct result of our
insistence on serving all our clients with the same top-quality approach
to their projects.
Whether estimating
construction costs, preparing budgets or assisting with
claims analysis, we
always bring the
best people to the table and give each project the individual attention that
will bring the best chances of success.
QUALIFICATIONS OF FIRM AND ASSIGNED STAFF
There is a reason Sierra West Consulting Group has remained one of the leading cost estimating firms in
the country for more than 20 years, and it's not just because we're determined to provide the best possible
service at all costs. While that approach certainly underlies our reputation, it is our commitment to accuracy
that truly sets us apart.
We'll be honest with you... this isn't an easy job. Taking a diverse range of factors into account when
estimating costs for a project can be challenging, and accurately predicting how much a project will cost
from start to finish is difficult, especially when changing timelines and unexpected budget constraints come
into play. We welcome such challenges. Our staff members have many years of diverse construction and
consulting experience, and have held multiple positions and played many roles in the industry. This expertise
enables us to juggle all the factors involved in tailoring an estimate just for you, accurately predicting costs
from the first preliminary stages of a project all the way through completion.
The firm takes the following considerations into mind when estimating new construction:
