Dear Elaine,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide our proposal to the City of Rolling Hills (City), and to offer our
initial thoughts to design the first 2,000 feet of primary sewer collection main along Rolling Hills Road that
will allow future expansion of a sewer collection network to systematically convert residences from their
aging privately owned and maintained septic systems. We have studied and reviewed contents provided
in your Request for Proposal (RFP). Your project involves multiple public agencies and stakeholders, so it
will require multiple encroachment permits and approvals for pipeline and connections. Based on concept
plans provided by the City, shoring is required since the sewer pipe trench can range between 8 feet to 12
feet. Rolling Hills Road typically is a narrow two lane roadway and the pipeline will need to be installed
at two busy intersections, so traffic control planning will be a challenge. Based on the current construction
trend, the construction cost (contractor portion alone) should range between $600,000 to $700,000, so
this is a significant first investment step into a reliable sewer collection system.
The PACE team is tasked to demonstrate our experience and knowledge to help the City to develop a
comprehensive work plan to reduce risks from financial burden of construction change orders and delays
that could impact local residents from this pipeline project. With that said, while we are able to provide
engineering services per your requested scope of services that were divided into eight (8) tasks described
in the RFP, and we included in our proposal several optional services under Task #8 with reputable
subconsultants that we believe will complement PACE and stakeholders to achieve these important
common objectives.
With a combined 30 years of municipal / public agency experiences, with the most recent 17 years as
the Principal Civil Engineer for the City of Huntington Beach, I offer technical expertise on engineering
municipal water, wastewater, and recycled water infrastructure in both the design role and the project
management role.
1 have read, understood, and agreed to all statements in this request for proposal and
acknowledge receipt of all addendums/amendments as well as to the terms, conditions, and
attachments referenced.
We are excited to have the opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities to work with the City to complete
wastewater infrastructure projects that we can all be proud of for years to come.
Sincerely,
Duncan S. Lee, PE

11 SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
PACE is well versed in planning, engineering, construction and operation of sewer collection systems.
We rely on our hands-on experience with deploying these systems to determine the proper planning
techniques and design requirements for cost and operationally effective systems. PACE utilizes state-of-
the-art modeling software and AutoCAD tools such as Civil 3D to develop practical conveyance schemas.
Energy use is an important factor in conveyance systems and we can identify design and operational
methodologies to produce highly energy efficient systems. PACE recently provided replacements of large
piping sections in Lathrop, California in high corrosive groundwater conditions which required careful
consideration of materials, dewatering, and construction methods and inspections.
Replacement or repair of sanitary sewer infrastructure is often more challenging than water or storm drains
where service can be more easily interrupted and construction can be completed during dry periods. Our
experience includes various sewer line rehabilitation techniques including slip -lining, cured -in -place
pipeline (CIPP) liners, and pipe bursting. We employ successful techniques to avoid unintended low or high points, and instead design piping for consistent
slope with intentional high points containing air -vacuum valves and intentional low points with blow -off valves. In areas with saline shallow groundwater, we
offer extensive experience with corrosion resistant piping and fittings including C900-905 or HDPE plastic and bagged flange kits. Accurate cost estimates are
developed based on a combination of construction index pricing and also based on real completed projects to ensure accurate estimates for project budgets.

ROJFCT EXPERIENCE
City of Redondo Beach Legado Development Sewer Upgrades Redondo Beach CA
The City of Redondo Beach will require additional conveyance capacity through new sewer pipelines and
improvements in the area around Pacific Coast Highway and Avenue I. PACE is designing approximately
550' of new 12" sewer pipe and multiple manholes through multiple major intersections, and along
Caltrans Pacific Coast Highway. The pipeline also traverses through City of Torrance right-of-way, so
multiple encroachments are required for the project. PACE evaluated numerous alignment alternatives,
and also trenchless construction technology through pipe bursting. PACE concluded that the existing
pipe was too shallow for pipe bursting, and was able to identify an alignment to cross both over and
under existing underground utilities.

Poinsettia, Voorhees and Pacific Sewer Lift Stations Upgrades Manhattan Beach, CA
PACE is preparing plans and specifications for the City of Manhattan Beach to three (3) sewer force
mains and to upgrade three (3) sewer lift stations, Pacific Avenue WWPS, Poinsettia Avenue WWPS,
and Voorhees WWPS. These lift stations and force mains were originally constructed in the early
1960's, with mechanical and electrical upgrades implemented around the mid 1990's, and the
facilities are now approaching the end of their useful lives. The City is concerned with reliability
of these aging systems, which are further exasperated by frequent power outages from Southern
California Edison. PACE was also tasked to determine if there are any gravity pipe option(s) that could
eliminate any of these existing lift stations. All three lift stations are located in sensitive areas, either in
front of or adjacent to homes, or in a driveway to a local church.

City of Huntington Beach - Beach Boulevard Sewer Replacement Huntington Beach, CA
(performed by Duncan Lee while employed by City of Huntington Beach)
Led by Duncan Lee while he was the Principal Civil Engineer for the City of Huntington Beach, this
project consisted of installing over one mile of 8"to 15" PVC sewer pipe was installed on Beach Blvd
(-5,100' was with 15" PVC). The existing sewer main was left in operation and connected to the new
sewer system to provide additional redundancy since this area was known to have issues with "fat,
oil, and grease" For this project, the construction was done at night on Caltrans right-of-way, crossing
3 major arterial intersections. Additionally, the new improvement eliminated several manholes
within the busy intersection on Beach Blvd and allowed new manholes to be placed outside of the
intersection for easier access during routine maintenance.

CT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Rolling Hills (City) is a gated, residential community with a population of 1,939 on the Palos
Verdes Peninsula in Southern California. The community has just under 700 homes and covers an area
of three square miles. The City is equestrian in nature and enjoys breathtaking views of the coastline,
downtown Los Angeles, Catalina Island and pastoral canyons. The City currently does not have a sewer
collection system, as all lots have their own private septic tank systems.
This Request for Proposal (RFP) included the Sewer Area Study dated May of 2020 (SAS), which provided
background information, including pipe size calculations and concept plans to install approximately 2,000'of 12"sewer pipe on Rolling Hills Road. The furthest
downstream segment is to replace and increase flow capacity of approximately 600'of existing City ofTorrance 8"pipe, starting at the Sanitation Districts of Los
Angeles County's sewer trunk line at Crenshaw Blvd. The next segment is to install approximately 1,400'of new 12"sewer pipe, starting by the Rolling Hills
Tennis Club/Main Gate House and the City Hall located just south of Palos Verdes Drive, and connect to an existing sewer manhole located in between Lariat
Lane and Palomino Lane. The City intends to have Rolling Hills Tennis Club/Main Gate House and City Hall be the first properties to switch over to this new sewer
pipe. The new service laterals and existing septic system(s) will either be abandoned or be removed if necessary. Since there will be pipe trenches crossing an
intersection, the project specifications will have the language and bid item for the contractor for monument preservation or replacement.
PACE has carefully considered the appropriate approach to execute this project by reviewing contents provided in the RFP, the SAS, the
site constraints for constructions, vehicular traffic flow, and lessons learned from past similar projects. The project appears to be dictated
by several key factors, including and not limited to:
01 Sizing New Primary Sewer
Collection Main for Ultimate
Conversion Scenario
Parallel Pipe Installation
Approach versus Remove
and Install Approach
According to the December 6, 2019, Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (SDLAC) response to a will
serve request from the City to handle future flows from 235 existing single-family homes, the projected
average daily flow is approximately 61,100 gallons per day. In the SAS, this daily average flow was
adjusted to reflect a peaking condition, which was estimated to be 0.478 cubic feet per second. Based on
this projected additional flow, SAS concluded approximately 600'of existing City of Torrance owned pipe
by Crenshaw Blvd needs to be replaced with a minimum of 12"pipe. With the actual number of homes in
the City being around 685, and total parcels in the City at 758, potentially 523 additional homes outside
of SAS's tributary area may want to connect to the new sewer collection system in the future. This future
expansion will require installation of additional gravity mains, force mains and lift stations. Because the
process to convert sewer connections will take significant financial resources and years to complete, along
with on -going changes in leadership in City Council, there is a great probability that this new sewer main
on Rolling Hills Road will need to handle this ultimate maximum flow, which was not analyzed. Using the
average unit peaking demand from SAS, the 523 homes could increase flow by an additional 1.064 cfs,
which will require several flatter segments of replacement pipe by Crenshaw Blvd to be 15' instead of as
proposed in the SAS with 12" Fortunately, the additional construction cost to install a 15" pipe versus a
12" pipe is relatively insignificant. PACE recommends the City revisit potential pipe upsizing after finalizing
the vertical pipe alignment by Crenshaw Blvd.
The SAS included 3 sheets of concept plans. The concept plans showed the segment of existing City of
Torrance 8" pipe is to be removed in order for a new 12" pipe to be installed in the same trench. While the
remove and install approach can be utilized at times when the roadway lacks available space for a new
parallel pipe, remove and install is not the typical preferred method of construction. The primary reason is
because temporary bypass of the existing Torrance sewage would have to be installed and operated on a
24/7 continuous basis while the existing main is out of service. This is costly to provide and maintain, and
then adds an enormous risk and exposure to the City for potential sewage spill. Whenever possible, the
best and cheapest method is to install a parallel pipe, with new connection manholes whenever possible,
as that will not require any temporary bypass during the entire construction cycle. This will then allow the
existing 8"pipe to be left in place until it has reached its useful life, providing redundancy and bypass for
future pipe cleaning and repair activities.

PACE
PROJECT APPROACH - 7
STRATEGY 02
011 Prepare Traffic Control Plans
During Design Phase
Rolling Hills Road typically is a narrow two lane roadway and the pipeline will need to be installed at two
busy intersections, so traffic control planning will be a challenge with the possibility that both lanes will
need to be closed in the area of open trenches. The permit approval process could be exponentially more
complex and time consuming with number of resubmittals since the City will likely need to obtain additional
encroachment permits from the City of Torrance, County of Los Angeles, and City of Rolling Hills Estates.
Need for Actual Flow
Monitoring for Connection
Approval with the Sanitation
Districts of Los Angeles
County, City of Rolling Hills
Estates, & the City of Torrance
The SAS study of existing peak flow condition through various segments of pipes are calculated based on
an assumed unit flow generation, categorized by type of use, size of property, number of individuals, etc.
While Section 1 of the RFP indicated that SDLAC, City of Rolling Hills Estates, and the City ofTorrance all
have reviewed and approved the SAS, it is possible that one or more of the agencies will want the City
to perform actual flow monitoring to validate existing condition, particularly during the environmental
documentation phase before written approvals for connection are granted.
ngCounty of Los Angeles
d Department of Public Works
Low Impact Development
(LID) Requirement
This project is not a redevelopment"Designated Project"as defined in the LID Standards Manual
section 2.1 and therefore does not trigger LID stormwater management requirements. During pipeline
construction, the contractor would only need to practice typical construction Best Management Practices
(BMP), but the project will not require any post -construction BMP Projects that require LID practices do
not include activities that are conducted to maintain hydraulic capacities or repaving to maintain original
line and grade.
0gStreet Restoration
Requirement
In -Lieu of "T -Patch" Over
Pipe Trench
ID
The existing pavement conditions along Rolling Hills Road may not be able to tolerate heavy deep
sewer pipeline construction activities. As part of the encroachment permit process with all three outside
agencies, each of them may require resurfacing the roadway in their respective jurisdictions, instead of
allowing a typical"T-Patch"type of trench restoration after the pipeline is installed and backfilled.
ROJFCT APPROACH
PACE will provide a cohesive team of engineers and subconsultants with extensive experience to tackle the City's current issues. PACE will meet challenges head-
on by working with the City's project Managers and to collaborate with others for this multi -jurisdiction project.
SURVEY AND DEVELOP BASE -MAPS TO IDENTIFY OPTIMAL HORIZONTAL
ALIGNMENT AND AREAS OF POTENTIAL SUBSURFACE UTILITY CONFLICTS After
collaborating with the City to put in a request for Underground Service Alert (USA) to field mark existing
utilities along the project limit, PACE will use service of a quality sub -consultant to survey and pick up all
relevant above ground elements and utilities markings to generate base maps. PACE will also assist the City
to request record drawings for various utilities in the region to validate field markings. After determination
of an optimal horizontal alignment with areas of potential utilities conflicts, PACE recommends an optional
sub -consultant for potholing service (fee to be provided later due to unknowns at this stage) to obtain
accurate field pipe depth data to ensure adequate clearance prior to actual construction.
VALIDATE SEWER PIPE DIAMETER After developing the vertical profile, showing various pipes slopes of various segments of the new sewer pipe, PACE
will perform a desktop analysis using the SAS methodology as the basis of evaluation to update and determine required minimum pipe diameter(s) to satisfy
industry acceptable practice.

PROJECT APPROACH - 8
STRATEGY 03
ENCROACHMENT PERMITS, CEQA COMPLIANCE, REGULATORY APPROVALS, AND CONNECTION APPROVALS PACE will collaborate with
the City's Project Manager to develop the list of required regulatory approvals, permits, and pipe connection approvals from various entities. Being that this project
is the first of its kind in the City and will impact residents outside of the City limit, PACE recommends an optional task to support the City with public outreach
through the use of multiple (up to 3) town -hall type meetings. In the event the project will not be granted a Categorical Exemption under CEQA, the next likely
level of required environmental documentation should be through a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). Being transparent and proactive in dealing with the
public have proven to be effective in gaining their trust while diffusing potential opposition.This is essential because public opposition during the public comment
period of the MND process can be detrimental as elected officials from multiple jurisdictions may feel strong pressure to side with the opposition. PACE recommends
an optional sub -consultant for environmental documentation for CEQA compliance, either with Categorical Exemption, or with a MND. The number of permits and
total permit fees are unknown at this time. While it is common for cities to separately pay for required permits, PACE recommends an optional budget item of up to
$4,000 for reimbursement to PACE for permit fees if and when is necessary to save time with the permit process.
In the event permitting agencies require street restoration in -lieu of typical "T-Patch"type of trench restoration after pipeline construction, PACE can provide an
optional task to prepare street improvement plans, along with striping plans to satisfy such 3rd party requirement.
PACE also recommends an optional sub -consultant for flow monitoring service to monitor two (2) existing sewer manholes located near Crenshaw Blvd, in order
to record one week of flow data to validate the hypothetical existing condition as shown in the SAS. The request by public agencies to request for actual flow test data
for a sewer study is common, especially in this case whereby existing pipes will require upsizing.

STRATEGY 05
ESTABLISH DIRECTION, STANDARDS AND INDUSTRY PRACTICE FOR FUTURE SEWER SYSTEM EXPANSION PACE also recognize the
benefits and significance of this 2,000 feet of new primary sewer collection main, as it will allow future connections to steadily eliminate private aging septic
systems. The comprehensive plans, specifications, and project approach will help establish direction and standards for future sewer projects to follow. Based on
concept plans provided by the City, sewer pipe trench can range between 8 feet to 12 feet deep, thereby requiring shoring. One common practice by general
contractors to negotiate for change orders is to claim change in condition during trenching operation due to insufficient information on the soil condition. PACE
recommends an optional sub -consultant to drill two (2) soil borings, one at each segment of pipe, and to prepare a geotechnical report with design parameters
and soil characteristic for the contractors to prepare their shoring plans.
SCOPE OF SERVICES (Attached in a separate sealed envelope along with the fee schedule/cost proposal)
PACE will be able to provide engineering services per your requested scope of services that was divided into eight (8) tasks described in the RFP Additionally, we
also included in our proposal several optional services under Task #8 with reputable subconsultants that we believe will complement PACE and stakeholders to
achieve the following objectives:
• Provide foreseeable data to minimize opportunities for contractors to file and justify change orders.
♦ Anticipate and perform probable optional tasks in advance to avoid delays in design, permitting, and construction phases.
We do want to point out that the City can decide to include any of the optional tasks at the beginning or latter part of the project. To help facilitate the City, we
included an additional project schedule that showed the preferred start time to each optional tasks.
COMPREHENSIVE CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING TO MINIMIZE SEWER SERVICE
IMPACT AND TRAFFIC IMPACT Engineering plans by PACE will include construction sequencing
to minimize conflicts and service interruption to local businesses and residences during construction. Use
of new manholes to connect to existing county or city owned sewer pipes will allow seamless transitions
and without any temporary sewage bypass equipment. Since the City will need to obtain encroachment
permits from all impacted entities, PACE recommends an optional sub -consultant to prepare traffic control
plans specifically for the selected optimal pipeline alignment in this narrow two lane roadway with two
(2) busy intersections. PACE'S most recent sewer pipeline project with another coastal agency involved
obtaining three (3) encroachment permits, one of which was with the City ofTorrance. For that similar
project with multiple jurisdictions, each stakeholder provided unique comments, resulting in three (3)
separate time consuming plan check iterations before permits were granted. When these plans are deferred
to the contractor to prepare and to submit for approval, it frequently delays the start of construction.

RELATED EXPERIENCE
Poinsettia, Voorhees and Pacific Sewer Lift Stations Upgrades — City of Manhattan Beach,
CA
Mr. Lee is serving as the Project Manager to prepare the plans and specifications for the City of
Manhattan Beach for three (3) sewer force mains and to upgrade three (3) sewer lift stations,
Pacific Avenue WWPS, Poinsettia Avenue WWPS, and Voorhees WWPS. These lift stations
and force mains were originally constructed in the early 1960's, with mechanical and electrical
upgrades implemented around the mid 1990's, and the facilities are now approaching the end
of their useful lives. The City is concerned with reliability of these aging systems, which are
further exasperated by frequent power outages from Southern California Edison. PACE was
also tasked to determine if there are any gravity pipe option(s) that could eliminate any of these
existing lift stations. All 3 lift stations are located in sensitive areas, either in front of or adjacent
to homes, or in a driveway to a local church.
City of Redondo Beach Legado Development Sewer Collection Upgrades — Redondo
Beach, CA
The City of Redondo Beach will require additional conveyance capacity through new sewer
pipelines and improvements in the area around Pacific Coast Highway and Avenue I. Mr. Lee is
serving as the Project Manager to design approximately 550' of new 12" sewer pipe and multiple
manholes through multiple major intersections, and along Caltrans Pacific Coast Highway. The
pipeline also traverses through City of Torrance right-of-way, so multiple encroachments are
required for the project. PACE evaluated numerous alignment alternatives, and also trenchless
construction technology through pipe bursting. PACE concluded that the existing pipe was too
shallow for pipe bursting, and was able to identify an alignment to cross both over and under
existing underground utilities.

City of Huntington Beach - Beach Boulevard Sewer Replacement— Huntington Beach, CA
Led by Duncan Lee while Principal Engineer for the City of Huntington Beach, this project
consisted of installing over 1 mile of 8" to 15" PVC sewer pipe was installed on Beach Blvd
(-5,100' was with 15" PVC). The existing sewer main was left in operation and connected to the
new sewer system to provide additional redundancy since this area was known to have issues
with "fat, oil, and grease". For this project, the construction was done at night on Caltrans right-
of-way, crossing 3 major arterial intersections. Additionally, the new improvement eliminated
several manholes within the busy intersection on Beach Blvd and allowed new manholes to be
placed outside of the intersection for easier access during routine maintenance.

PROJECT MANAGER
Tri-City Regional Sanitary District Phase I Wastewater Collection System & Water Reclamation Facility — Gila County, AZ
Mr. Lee is serving as the Sr. Consulting Engineer as part of the PACE team to provide planning services for Phase I, a new regional
wastewater system for the Tri-City Regional Sanitary District (TRSD). TRSD encompasses over five square miles of residential,
commercial and industrial property in Gila County, AZ. The majority of the homes currently use cesspools and septic systems for
wastewater disposal. Over 80% of these systems are functioning below ideal performance and some are completely out -of -service. With
growing concern for the area residents, TRSD is taking action to provide centralized infrastructure that will bring value to its community.
The proposed project will abandon existing cesspools and septic systems and install approximately 68,000 linear feet of 8-10" sewer
pipeline, lift stations, and a new 0.25 MGD water reclamation facility that will serve approximately 1,200 residents. A portion of the
engineering services was funded through a WIFA grant and TRSD has acquired USDA -RD funding.
City of Huntington Beach Brookhurst Street & Indianapolis Avenue Sanitary Sewer Siphon — Huntington Beach, CA
Led by Duncan Lee while Principal Engineer for the City of Huntington Beach, the City replaced the 12" single siphon with two parallel (2)
8" PVC siphon inside a steel casing filled with concrete grout. The City's existing deep 12" sewer siphon was sanding, and the siphon
was under the existing 96" Orange County Sanitation District line on Brookhurst Street. The City was concerned that if the City sewer pipe
would fail in the future, it could undermine and cause collapse of OCSD pipe's 96" sewer pipe. The area is near sea level so the contractor
had to dewater 24/7 during construction at 300 gpm. This project also included a 2 parallel shallower 6" air return line between the upstream
and downstream manholes for the new siphon assembly. Additionally, grouts were injected to surround the existing 96" OCSD to fill up
potential void from sand that was discovered in the City's existing 12" line. Lastly, one of the siphons was slightly more in grade than the
other to maintain higher self-cleaning velocity in the 8" siphon. The other siphon would only flow if the first one clogged or if the flow rate
is high.
City of Huntington Beach Pier Sewer and Water Replacement — Huntington Beach, CA
Led by Mr. Lee while Principal Engineer for the City of Huntington Beach, the City installed a gravity sewer line from Ruby's at the end of
the pier toward the existing manhole near the Pacific Coast Highway. The design included locked joints with slider couplings for contraction
and expansion with high temperature change. This was an emergency project that Mr. Lee and the project manager put together in just
several weeks. A bridge maintenance lift was also used to allow the waterline to be installed underneath the pier.
Vernon Water Main Replacement — Vernon, CA
PACE informed the City on a separate well equipping project that approximately 2,000' of existing 10" cast iron main will very likely have
tuberculation and therefore will not be able to properly distribute water when the well operates at the design capacity. Mr. Lee collaborated
with the City to implement a physical flow test, and validated that the existing pipe has lost over half of its capacity. As the Project Manager,
Mr. Lee prepared plans and specifications to replace the existing 10" cast iron pipe with a new 12" ductile iron pipe.
Huntington Beach Well 9 Wellhead Treatment System & Sewer Line Improvement - Huntington Beach, CA
Led by Mr. Lee while serving as the Principal Engineer for the City of Huntington Beach, multiple phases of project development, lab
services, piloting, concept development, water treatment facility engineering, planning division graphics, startup, and operations support
services where performed for this innovative and unique treatment system. Monthly backwashing was also needed for this treatment
system. A 200 ft. long and 8 in. wide PVC sewer pipeline was installed under Warner Avenue, a busy street with three lanes, to allow
wastewater to be diverted into the new sewer line. To minimize odor and cost, PACE designed the pipeline using a shallow sewer line
connection with a drop bowl assembly to create a smoother flow to minimize splashing, resulting in decreased odor. PACE provided all
project bid documents, permitting, coordination with Southern California Edison, and assisted the City with the bid process and construction
support services.
Other Projects:
• City of Huntington Beach: Over 10 projects of water main replacements for 12" or smaller diameter of drinking water distribution

FEE SCHEDULE / COST PROPOSAL
SCO
of SERVICES
PACE will be able to provide engineering services per your requested scope of services that was divided into eight (8) tasks described in
the RFP. Additionally, we also included in our proposal several optional services under Task #8 with reputable subconsultants that we
believe will complement PACE and stakeholders to achieve project objectives. Below are detail descriptions and assumptions of for each
of the nine (9) optional tasks.
TASK 8
8.1
8.2
8.3
8.4
CEQA Compliance (Categorical Exemption)
• PACE and subconsultant can assist the City to determine if any of the Categorical Exemptions applies. If so, a Notice of Exemption
(NOE) can be prepared and recorded with the County Clerk Recorder's Office.
CEQA Compliance (MND)
• This is approximately a 6 -month process where PACE and the subconsultant will prepare the Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND) environmental documents. Tasks include preparation of AB 52 Native American Consultation documentation, prepare
screencheck, draft, and final Initial Study (IS) and MND, and prepare the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).
Technical Reports will include Air Quality Technical Memo, Greenhouse Gas (GHG).
Public Outreach Through Town -Hall Type Meetings (Up to 3)
• PACE can collaborate with the City to attend and present at City arranged town -hall type of meetings, to introduce the project and
share concept plans details with the general public, in order to increase public trust and to address concerns.
Budget $4,000 for Reimbursement of Permit Fees (Permits Fees Unknown)
• The exact number and required permits have not been established. City can have PACE pay for any of such permits upfront and be
reimbursed under this item, or the City can directly pay for such permits.
8.5
8.6
90%, 100% and 100% Final Traffic Control Plans Submittals
• PACE and subconsultant can prepare traffic control plans to support pipeline construction plans. The plans will utilize various
industry practice for traffic control strategies, and will also include signing, legends, and construction detour standards. These
plans will be submitted along with pipeline construction plans for review for permits.
Two (2) Soil Borings and Geotechnical Report
• PACE and subconsultant can drill 2 borings, one for each segment of new sewer pipe on the unpaved area of the Rolling Hills
Road. The geotechnical report will summarize findings of soil characteristic, along with tests results to identify design parameters
for construction, including those necessary for the contractor to prepare shoring plans. The optional fee scheduled is based on the
assumption that no custom traffic control plans will be required for drilling on the unpaved area of the roadway, and that traffic
control will be consistent with standard practice from the WATCH Manual.
8.7
Flow Monitoring at Two (2) Locations for 1 Continuous Week
4 PACE and subconsultant can install monitoring devices in two (2) selected existing manholes on Rolling Hills Road near Crenshaw
Blvd, in order to obtain a continuous 1 week of monitoring data to validate flow assumptions of existing condition described in the
May 2020 Sewer Area Study.
8.8
8.9
90% and 100% Street Improvement Plans and Striping Plans Submittals
• PACE and subconsultant can prepare street improvement and striping plans for approximately 2,000 lineal feet of Rolling Hills Road.
The optional fee schedule is based on the assumption that improvement will either be by grind and overlay, or with slurry seal.
Potholing (Unable to Provide a Fee Due to Unknowns at This Time)
• PACE and subconsultant can perform pothole of existing underground utilities that may have grade conflict with the proposed
sewer pipe. Since such conflicts and traffic control requirement will be identified during the design phase, PACE can provide a fee
estimate for this optional tasks at a later date.
