BACKGROUND
Master Case 01-038, Tract 53419 Valle di Oro was approved by the Planning Commission on
June 19, 2001. The project's Conditions of Approval required the installation of street
improvements along portions of Sierra Highway and at the intersection of Sierra Highway and
Golden Valley Road. The street improvements include the installation of a right -turn pocket on
southbound Sierra Highway, bus stop with shelter, landscaped median, sidewalk, signing and
striping, signal modification, and a pedestrian bridge over Sierra Highway.
On August 23, 2011, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement with
the project developer allowing for the acceptance of in -lieu fees, for the offsite street
Riffloo YED
improvements for Tract 53419. Subsequently, an agreement between the City of Santa Clarita
(City) and developer was executed on November 11, 2011 (see attached). This agreement was
amended on August 8, 2012 (see attached), allowing payment of the in -lieu fees to be paid in two
installments. To date, the City has received the first installment of $200,000. The remaining
$1,427,000 is due prior to the developer receiving the 25th building permit or 24 months from
the date of the first installment being paid, whichever comes first. In the event the developer does
not pay the second installment within the 24 month time frame, the City has the right to terminate
the agreement, which will result in a forfeiture of the first installment by the developer. The
developer paid the first installment on August 31, 2012.
The $200,000 received by the developer is being combined with $200,000 paid to the City by
D.R. Horton, as part of Tract 48892 (located at the northeast corner of Sierra Highway and
Golden Valley Road) as their fair share contribution for the pedestrian bridge construction. These
funds will be used to fund the design phase of the project. City staff has been in contact with the
developer, and they anticipate paying the second installment of $1,427,000 in August 2013,
which will provide the remaining funding needed for the construction of the project.
Design Teom Selection Process
On March 11, 2013, a Request for Proposal was sent to seven civil engineering design firms with
extensive experience on similar projects. Four of the firms prepared and submitted proposals to
the City for consideration. City staff reviewed the proposals and interviewed all four firms: MNS
Engineers, Inc., Dokken Engineering, KOA Corporation, and Tetra Tech, Inc.
During the interviews, each firm was given an opportunity to present their team and expertise
and demonstrate their understanding of the project and their understanding of City requirements.
In addition to the presentations, the firms were asked to answer six questions as part of the
interview. City staff also conducted follow-up meetings with all the consultants to ensure they
fully understood the project scope, and they were asked to present the City with a preliminary
construction cost estimate. The following presents a summary of the civil engineering firm's
costs and ratings.

The overall ratings take into consideration both the proposal and interviews. Based on the City's
evaluation process, staff recommends Dokken Engineering as the top -qualified civil engineering
design firm for the completion of the civil engineering, Caltrans permit processing, and
landscape architecture design. This segment of Sierra Highway is Caltrans right-of-way, and
therefore, Caltrans permits are needed for both the street improvements and pedestrian bridge.
Dokken Engineering's rating is a reflection of their experience with similar projects within
Caltrans right-of-way. This project is unique because pre -fabricated steel truss bridges are
uncommon within Caltrans right-of-way. The approval process can be difficult and lengthy
without an expert with a thorough understanding of the Caltrans process. Dokken Engineering
has successfully obtained permits for several similar projects throughout the state including the
pedestrian bridge over Magic Mountain Parkway. In addition to their experience, Dokken
Engineering executed a tremendous amount of due diligence in preparation of their proposal,
which included a preliminary investigation of the project site, and presented items to complete
the design process in an expedited manner. Dokken Engineering has hired Pacific Coast Land
Design, Inc., for all the landscape architectural design. The firm has experience designing City
landscaping projects including several medians and is responsible for the standard landscaping
design plans used by the City's Special Districts division.
The contingency amount requested will cover the cost of unforeseen additional engineering
studies, environmental studies, and/or plans as part of working with Caltrans to obtain an
encroachment permit for the proposed work. Caltrans will require this project to go through their
review process, and this increases the complexity of the engineering design.
California Government Code 4526 prescribes selection of architectural and engineering services
to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the
satisfactory performance of the services required and does not authorize the selection of
professional architectural and engineering services based on cost. The City was able to reach an
agreement with Dokken Engineering, at a fair and reasonable price.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Developer funds in the amount of $400,000 have been budgeted into expenditure account
S3031306-5161.001. Expenditures to date are $3,686. The remaining balance of $396,314 will
adequately provide for award of the contract in the amount not to exceed $285,572. The residual
amount of $110,742 will be used for administrative costs and any unspent balance will be used
during the construction phase of this project.

D. On June, 19, 2001, the City of Santa Clarita Planning Commission approved the
Valle Di Oro project ("Project"), pursuant to City Planning Commission Resolution No. PO 1-10
("City Project Approval"), attached hereto as Exhibit "B". The City Project Approval permits
development of the 21.15 -acre site with 111 condominium units, an open space lot, and a
recreation lot, among other improvements. A total of 23 units have been constructed on the
Property to -date, along with necessary common area and related infrastructure.
E. The City Project Approval, Conditions No. TR2, EN 43, EN 67, No. EN 74,

any and all Off -Site Improvements in connection with the development and build -out of the
Project. In the event that the In -Lieu Fee is not deposited with the City on or before June 30,
2012, then the City may make adjustments to the amount of the In -Lieu Fee to reflect changes to
the cost to construct the Off -Site Improvements as reasonably estimated in good faith, as of the
date of determination.

TASK 7.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT (OPTIONAL)
Dokken Engineering shall provide assistance in coordinating with Caltrans District 7 Local Assistance (Caltrans) for delivery and
environmental approval per requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City will be the Lead Agency
under CEQA. Due to the developed nature of the site, there is anticipated to be no mitigation for impacts to the environment. The
following environmental documentation is needed to support a CEQA Initial Study (IS) which will lead to a Negative Declaration.
Task 7.1 Environmental Reconnaissance Research and Surveys
Dokken Engineering will conduct field surveys and literature research to determine the existence or potential occurrence
of hazardous material/waste, sensitive biological resources, and cultural resources.
A hazardous waste record search will be conducted through Environmental Data Resources (EDR) to identify all
hazardous waste sites located within the project study area. A visual survey of the project area will be conducted to
identify any obvious areas of hazardous waste contamination.
A biological literature review and database record search will be conducted In order to obtain lists of sensitive federal
and State species that have the potential to occur within the project. Research will be conducted through the California
Natural Diversity Data Base (California Department of Fish and Wildlife [CDFW], 2013) and the California Native Plant
Society's Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (Skinner, et al., 2004). A list of
threatened and endangered species known in the project vicinity will be obtained from the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS). Dokken Engineering biologists will conduct fieldwork in order to assess the presence/absence
of sensitive biological species (e.g. species or habitats). Based on initial research and experience with projects in this
area, no sensitive species are anticipated. The project area avoids all impacts to sensitive Coastal Sage Scrub habitat, as
well as nearby Critical Habitat for the California coastal gnatcatcher.
Dokken Engineering archaeologists will perform a review of location maps, project plans, site photos, aerial photos, and
the results of an archaeological records search for the project area. Upon completion of this review the potential impact
of the project will be determined. Cultural impact is anticipated to be non-existent or minimal.
