BACKGROUNDOn September 22, 2020, your Board adopted a Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works, or designee, to apply for a grant for up to $3,027,090 to the California Natural Resources Agency for the first phase of the proposed Hidden Falls Regional Park Trails and Open Space Expansion Project known as the Twilight Ride Access and Parking/Trailhead phase with a required match of $934,200. The match amount was to consist of a combination of general funds and park dedication fees. The grant application was submitted contingent upon completion of the environmental review. The Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the project was certified by your Board on March 8, 2021. Subsequently, Placer County staff received a Grant Agreement from the California Natural Resources Agency Grants Administrator on July 26, 2021, that approved funding for the project, subject to agreement from the County.

The total project cost is projected to be $3,961,290. With $3,027,090 funded by a Prop 68 grant, the total match amount required from the County for the grant is $934,200. On June 22,

2021, your Board approved a supplemental request of $309,200 in general fund revenue towards the project as part of the total $934,200 match. The remaining match consists of $75,000 previously expended on environmental review consultant costs and $550,000 in Park Dedication Fees from various local west Placer areas with populations that currently use Hidden Falls Regional Park. Those areas include the Auburn/Meadow Vista area, Ophir/Newcastle area, and Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln areas.

On April 13, 2021, your Board approved a list of qualified firms, as a result of competitive Request for Qualifications No. 20142, to provide park, trail and landscape development services. Master Services Agreements were executed with each firm on the list. The Department of Parks and Open Space requires a qualified firm to develop the design for the project and solicited informal proposals from the firms included on the County’s Park, Trail and Landscape Development qualified list. Following a review of the proposals received, Helix Environmental Planning, Inc. (Helix) was identified as the most qualified firm. The price schedule provided by Helix is in accordance with the Qualified List and the Master Services Agreement. In addition, the services provided by Helix are design consulting services with an emphasis on landscape architecture, which is a service outside the usual course of the County’s business. As a result, staff has determined that Helix is an independent contractor pursuant to state law requirements (see Attachment D).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTYour Board certified the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Hidden Falls Regional Park Trails Expansion Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2007062084), which included the construction of the Twilight Ride access and parking/trailhead area, on March 8, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACTThe total project cost is $3,961,290. The funding sources for the project include the State Grant of $3,027,090, and a required grant match from the County of $934,200. $75,000 was previously expended on environmental review consultant costs leaving an updated request for County match of $859,200. $309,200 from the General Fund Capital Reserves is being requested for part of the required County match. In addition to the General Fund contribution, to cover the required match funding for the project, staff is requesting a total allocation of $550,000 of Park Dedication Fees from the following areas: · Area #5 – Auburn Meadow Vista Area, $200,000, leaving a balance of $604,220· Area #15 – Ophir Newcastle Area, $200,000, leaving a balance of $243,861· Area #9 – Roseville Area, $50,000, leaving a balance of $1,512· Area #8 – Rocklin Area, $20,000, leaving a balance of $843· Area #6 – Lincoln Area, $80,000, leaving a balance of $192,935

The Recreational Trails and Greenways Grant Program is reimbursable in periodic increments

Any penalties imposed on the Grantee by a contractor, or other consequence, because of delays in payment will be paid by the Grantee and is not reimbursable under this Agreement.

3. Grant Funds in this award have a limited period in which they must be expended. Grantee

expenditures funded by the State must occur within the time frame of the Project Performance Period as indicated in this Agreement.

4. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Grantee shall expend Grant Funds in the manner

described in the Exhibit A approved by the State. The total dollars of a category in the Project Budget may be increased by up to ten percent (10%) through a reallocation of funds from another category, without approval by the State.

1. Grantee shall promptly provide Project reports and/or photographs upon request by the State. In any event Grantee shall provide the State a report showing total final Project expenditures with the final payment request and required closing documents.

2. Grantee shall make property and facilities acquired or developed pursuant to this Agreement available for inspection upon request by the State.

4. Grantee shall submit all documentation for Project completion, including a notice of completion as applicable and final reimbursement within ninety (90) days of Project completion, but in no event any later than March 1, 2024.

5. Final payment is contingent upon State verification that Project is consistent with Project

Scope as described in Exhibit A, together with any State approved amendments.

6. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement in writing between Grantee and State. Any request by the Grantee for amendments must be in writing stating the amendment request and reason for the request. The Grantee shall make requests in a timely manner and in no event less than sixty (60) days before the effective date of the proposed amendment.

175

7. Grantee must report to the State all sources of other funds for the Project.

E. Project Termination

1. Prior to the completion of Project construction, either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party with thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. The State may also terminate this Grant Agreement for any reason at any time if it learns of or otherwise discovers that there is a violation of any state or federal law or policy by Grantee which affects performance of this or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the State.

2. If the State terminates without cause the Agreement prior to the end of the Project

Performance Period, the Grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs to the State under this Agreement. The State shall be responsible for any reasonable and non-cancelable obligations incurred by the Grantee in the performance of the Agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate, but only up to the undisbursed balance of funding authorized in this Agreement.

3. If the Grantee fails to complete the Project in accordance with this Agreement, or fails to

fulfill any other obligations of this Agreement prior to the termination date, the Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under this Agreement, plus accrued interest and any further costs related to the Project. The State may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment for work partially completed provided that the State determines it is in the State’s best interest to do so. This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available to the State for breach of this Agreement.

4. Failure by the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State hereunder.

5. Failure of the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall not be cause for suspending all obligations of the State hereunder if, in the judgment of the State, such failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement.

6. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee

with the terms of this Agreement, is for the purposes as stated in the application for the people of the State of California, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the State by way of Grant Funds under the provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State of an amount equal to the amount of the Grant Funds disbursed under this Agreement by the State would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach by the Grantee of this Agreement. The Grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Grantee of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.

F. Hold Harmless

1. Grantee shall waive all claims and recourses against the State, including the right to contribution for loss or damage to persons or property arising from, growing out of or in any way connected with or incident to this Agreement, except claims arising from the gross negligence of State, its officers, agents and employees.

176

2. Grantee shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend State, its officers, agents and employees in perpetuity against any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses or liability costs arising out of the Project, including Development, construction, operation or maintenance of the property described in the Project description which claims, demands or causes of action arise under Government Code Section 895.2 or otherwise, including but not limited to items to which the Grantee has certified, except for liability arising out of the gross negligence of State, its officers, agents or employees. Grantee acknowledges that it is solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified.

3. Grantee and State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and

Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and Grantee, their officers, agents or employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.

G. Financial Records

1. Grantee shall maintain satisfactory financial accounts, documents and records for the

Project and to make them available to the State for auditing at reasonable times. Grantee shall also retain such financial accounts, documents and records for three (3) years after final payment and one (1) year following an audit.

2. Grantee agrees that during regular office hours, the State and its duly authorized

representatives shall have the right to inspect and make copies of any books, records or reports of the Grantee pertaining to this Agreement or matters related thereto. Grantee shall maintain and make available for inspection by the State accurate records of all of its costs, disbursements and receipts with respect to its activities under this Agreement.

3. Grantee shall use applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, unless otherwise

agreed to by the State.

H. Use of Facilities

1. The real property (including any portion of it or any interest in it) may not be sold or transferred without the written approval of the State of California, acting through the Natural Resources Agency, or its successor, provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld as long as the purposes for which the Grant was awarded are maintained.

2. Grantee shall maintain, operate and use the Project in fulfillment of the purpose funded

pursuant to this Grant for a minimum of TWENTY-FIVE (25) YEARS, consistent with the Land Tenure/Site Control requirements included in the Application Guidelines.

Grantee may be excused from its obligations for operation and maintenance of the Project site only upon the written approval of the State for good cause. “Good cause” includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters that destroy the Project improvements and render the Project obsolete or impracticable to rebuild.

3. Grantee shall use the property for the purposes for which the Grant was made and shall make no other use or sale or other disposition of the property. This Agreement shall not prevent the transfer of the property from the Grantee to a Public Agency, if the successor Public Agency assumes the obligations imposed by this Agreement.

4. If the use of the property is changed to a use that is not permitted by the Agreement, or if

the property is sold or otherwise disposed of, at the State’s sole discretion, an amount equal to (1) the amount of the Grant (2) the Fair Market Value of the real property, or (3)

177

the proceeds from the sale or other disposition, whichever is greater, may be reimbursed to the State. If the property sold or otherwise disposed of is less than the entire interest in the property funded in the Grant, an amount equal to either the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the interest or the Fair Market Value of the interest sold or otherwise disposed of, whichever is greater, shall be reimbursed to the State.

5. The Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the real property for

mitigation without the written permission of the State.

6. The Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the real property as security for any debt.

N. Disputes

If the Grantee believes that there is a dispute or grievance between Grantee and the State arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Grantee shall first discuss and attempt to resolve the issue informally with the Agency Grants Administrator.

Subject: Task Order to Provide Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Consulting Services for Twilight Ride Parking Area

Administering Agency: Placer County Department of Public Works and Facilities – Parks Division Contract No.: SCN103636 Contract Description: Park, Trail, and Landscape Development Services Task Order No.: Task Title: Twilight Ride Parking Area Consultant: HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX)

EXHIBIT A

Project Understanding

The goal of this project is to prepare construction drawings that facilitate an efficient construction process for a beautiful trail access and parking area that integrates unobtrusively into its surroundings on the Twilight Ride property. The property consists of a 10-acre parcel (APN 026-110-012) and a 40-acre parcel (APN 026-110-018). The Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) Hidden Falls Regional Park Trails Expansion Project (PLN19-00187), State Clearinghouse No. 2007062084 included a conceptual plan for the project.

We understand that the County desires to limit impacts to neighbors to the greatest extent feasible while providing an efficient, safe, and maintainable trail access for public use. The County’s decision to limit the parking lot to only the 54 automobile and 20 equestrian parking spaces identified in Phase 1 allows more options for site layout than were presented in the original multi-phase concept design. Key design changes that may be possible with the reduced parking requirements include elimination of the left turn lane from Bell Road, possibly allowing a relocated entrance and eliminating a drainage crossing; greater flexibility in grading, likely removing or reducing the need for retaining walls; smaller overall footprint allowing additional visual screening from neighbors and setbacks from trees and creeks; and the ability to relocate visually-impactful facilities such as the landing zone and restroom building to less prominent positions. These design changes may also result in construction cost savings, which is particularly important as the project is grant-funded with a fixed budget.

Attachment C

215

To address the possible design changes, our base scope includes an evaluation of the total costs (design, permitting, construction, and maintenance) and feasibility of various design options, such as entry location, power source, and crossing types early on to ensure the best choice is made while minimizing the need for revisions further along in the construction document process. Our scope includes optional tasks, which can be added by the County if an alternate design option is selected that requires additional design effort. The HELIX team is excited to take the County’s directions and lessons learned from the conceptual plans to design the best project for this site.

Task Description

Task 1 – Project Management

Sub-Task 1.1 – Kick-off Meeting and Site Visit

The HELIX team will meet with County staff for a kick-off meeting to review the project approach and schedule and discuss the various design options including the preferred driveway access location. To facilitate discussion and design decisions, the HELIX team will review as-built and record drawings and existing documents and will explore design options in advance of this meeting. We will evaluate the feasibility and total cost implications of two driveway options, one as shown in the concept plans and the other with a site entry located north of the wetland. We will also prepare a revised conceptual layout of the Twilight Ride parking area based on the smaller overall parking and information provided at the pre-bid meeting. Immediately following the kick-off meeting, the HELIX team and County staff will visit the site to discuss the proposed conceptual plan revisions as well as photo-document current conditions.

Sub-Task 1.1 Deliverables: • Kick-off meeting agenda and summary. • Driveway exhibits, electrical options summary, and revised conceptual plan option(s), with total

cost comparisons as appropriate.

Sub-Task 1.2 – Project Management

HELIX staff will perform project management related tasks to facilitate this project work effectively and efficiently. This work will include coordination and communication with subconsultants and County staff, project administration for the project, contract management, and project schedule updates.

Sub-Task 1.2 Deliverables: • Monthly progress reports, phone calls, and status updates as required for successful completion

of project.

Task 2 – Site Assessment

Sub-Task 2.1 – Preliminary Well Design

The HELIX team will develop water demand calculations to inform the well design. The water demand will include anticipated use for the bathrooms and irrigation and will incorporate fire flow requirements as provided by the County. We will then begin well design by using well completion reports and other relevant documentation from nearby wells and additional available information to facilitate development of construction specifications for a permanent water supply well.

216

Sub-Task 2.1 Deliverables: • Water Demand Technical Memo. • Well Design Technical Memo including recommendations/specifications for construction of a

permanent water supply well. Sub-Task 2.2 – Geotechnical Investigation

The HELIX team will conduct a geotechnical investigation to evaluate subsurface conditions at the site and provide geotechnical engineering design parameters and recommendations for the project elements described in the existing SEIR. After coordination with Placer County for site access, eight to twelve test pit excavations will be completed. Samples from the test pits will be tested in the laboratory as required. The results of the geotechnical testing will be documented in a report that will include recommendations for trenching, backfill, paving, foundations, and seismic design parameters.

Sub-Task 2.2 Deliverables: • Geotechnical Investigation report in PDF and wet-signed and stamped hard copy.

Sub-Task 2.3 – Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) Evaluation

As required by Mitigation Measure 9-1, the HELIX team will perform an evaluation of the site for NOA to determine whether the project qualifies for a geologic exemption from asbestos dust mitigation requirements or whether such requirements are warranted. To evaluate the project area for NOA, a Certified Engineering Geologist experienced in conducting NOA assessments will perform geologic reconnaissance of the site. Up to 20 soil samples from anticipated soil disturbance areas across the site will be submitted to a California-certified analytical laboratory for analysis. If the NOA evaluation results are supportive of a geologic exemption from asbestos dust mitigation requirements, then a Site Evaluation for NOA report for Air District review will be prepared, which will include a request for exemption from asbestos dust mitigation requirements. If the NOA evaluation results are not supportive of a geologic exemption from asbestos dust mitigation requirements, then an ADMP for the project will be prepared for Air District review and approval.

Sub-Task 2.3 Deliverables: • Site Evaluation for NOA report or Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan.

Sub-Task 2.4 – Supplemental Topographic Survey

The HELIX team will prepare a topographic survey to supplement the existing aerial survey with a higher level of detail. This will include establishing horizontal and vertical control, obtaining benchmark data and record information, tying into boundary survey monuments, drafting easements per the Title Report, and locating tree trunk locations, culverts, and other site conditions not shown on the existing topography. The supplemental survey will be integrated with the existing topographic surveys to create the final topographic base map.

Deliverables: • Topographic Survey Map.

217

Sub-Task 2.5 – Supplemental Aquatic Resources Delineation

HELIX’s wetland scientists will conduct an aquatic resource delineation on the approximately 0.6-acre portion of the Taylor Property consisting of the project footprint and a surrounding 50-foot buffer using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (USACE 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Version 2.0; USACE 2008) as well as the 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule. In addition, we will follow the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) procedures as they relate to the project site/conditions.

Preliminary review of aerial photographs shows some potential additional areas that may be subject to inundation or saturation where data points were not collected in the December 6, 2018 report prepared by AECOM. Prior to the site visit, HELIX will peer review the existing aquatic resource data and report for the Twilight Ride property. During the site visit, HELIX will take additional data points and map any additional aquatic features on the Twilight Ride property, if required.

HELIX will then prepare a preliminary Aquatic Resources Delineation report integrating the results of the delineation for both properties. This will include a single, complete map of aquatic resources within the project area. Data collected by AECOM will be utilized to the greatest extent possible and supplemented with new data collected by HELIX. The report will be based on HELIX’s quantification of waters of the U.S. and State and data provided in the SEIR Appendix I on the project site using the current regulations, written policies, and guidance from the regulatory agencies. The jurisdictional boundaries identified during the aquatic resources delineation is subject to verification by the applicable resource agencies. HELIX will submit the preliminary Aquatic Resources Delineation report to the USACE for verification. HELIX will incorporate comments from the USACE and attend a one-day field review meeting with the USACE, if necessary.

Sub-Task 2.5 Deliverables: • Draft Aquatic Resources Delineation Report. • Final Aquatic Resources Delineation Report.

Sub-Task 2.6 – Supplemental Biological Resources Assessment

HELIX biologists will review available materials regarding existing site conditions, biological resources, and wetlands (e.g., USGS topographic maps, NRCS soils maps, and California Natural Diversity Database, and the Biological Assessment prepared by AECOM for the Twilight Ride Project located in Placer County, California). HELIX will then conduct a field survey of the approximately 0.6-acre portion of the Taylor Property consisting of the project footprint and a surrounding 50-foot buffer to identify dominant plant communities on the site, identify sensitive vegetation communities including oak woodland, and evaluate the potential for the site to support special-status plant and wildlife species. Vegetation communities will be mapped according to Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP) nomenclature. During the biological field assessment, any protected trees within the project boundary on both the Twilight Ride and Taylor Property that may be subject to CDFW jurisdiction will be assessed and data will be taken regarding tree species, trunk diameter, health, and structure for incorporation directly into the streambed alteration notification (see Task 5.3).

Upon completion of the field survey, a brief amendment letter to the existing biological resources assessment will be prepared that identifies biological resources and potential biological constraints found on the Taylor Property, assesses the likelihood of special-status or PCCP-covered species or habitats to be

218

found on the on the Taylor Property, and provides recommendations for any further studies or permitting that may be required prior to development of the Taylor Property. The report will include a soil map and map of biological communities and constraints including any potential aquatic resources as mapped under Task 2.5. A draft report will be submitted electronically to the Client for review in PDF format. Upon completion of the review by the Client, the report will be revised, as necessary, and an electronic (PDF) copy of the final report shall be provided to the Client.

Sub-Task 2.6 Deliverables: • Draft Biological Resources Assessment Amendment. • Final Biological Resources Assessment Amendment.

Sub-Task 2.7 – Supplemental Cultural Resources Assessment

HELIX will conduct a Supplemental Cultural Resources Assessment on the approximately 0.2-acres of the Taylor Property consisting of the project footprint. HELIX archaeologists will conduct an intensive pedestrian survey of the study area in order to characterize any extant archaeological sites, artifacts, or structures more than 45 years old. The survey will consist of a pedestrian walk-over of all areas where ground disturbance is proposed using 5-meter parallel transects.

A Supplemental Cultural Resources Assessment memorandum will be prepared upon completion of the survey. The memorandum will present the cultural survey findings, and will include maps depicting the study area and all areas surveyed. The report will also include recommendations for further study, avoidance, or mitigation of any cultural resources within the study area that may be affected by the proposed project.

Sub-Task 2.7 Deliverables: • Draft Supplemental Cultural Resources Assessment. • Final Supplemental Cultural Resources Assessment.

Task 3 – 35% Plans

Sub-Task 3.1 –35% Site Plan

Following completion of the site assessment tasks, the HELIX team will prepare a draft 35% site plan. This will demonstrate documented biological constraints, the location of all the major site features including the driveway entrance, ranger station, turn around, vehicular and equestrian parking, creek crossings, restroom, helipad, well, water tank, septic configuration utilities, and water quality treatment. Also included in the draft 35% plans is a conceptual level grading plan. Alongside the plans, the HELIX team will provide a comparison for the various power distribution systems: solar, poles and overhead utility lines, or undergrounded power which will highlight the pros and cons and cost of each. A similar comparison will be provided for the creek crossing options including spanning the crossings with a bridge and culverting the wetlands. During development of the draft 35% plans, HELIX will complete the Staking and public outreach as detailed in Sub-Task 3.2. After review of the plans by County Staff, HELIX will attend a meeting or conference call with County Staff to review the plans and discuss any questions or concerns.

The HELIX team will incorporate the adjacent neighbor’s feedback and County’s comments into the final 35% site plan. At this point the power source, creek crossing approach, and driveway access will be

219

finalized. The HELIX team will then complete the utility service applications and coordinate with County to submit them.

Sub-Task 3.1 Deliverables: • Draft 35% site plan. • Pros and Cons and Cost Comparison for three power source alternatives. • Pros and Cons and Cost Comparison for two creek crossing options. • Final 35% site plan.

Sub-Task 3.2 – Staking and Public Outreach

During development of the draft 35% plan site plan, HELIX will stake the approximate location of the site amenities and limits of grading presented in the EIR and the proposed changes from the draft 35% site plan using a sub-meter accurate GPS unit. Stakes will be flagged and labeled with various colors to denote different improvements. Stakes will be left in place for one week for review by adjacent residents. After the one-week review period, HELIX will hold a one-hour on-site open house for adjacent residents to visit and provide feedback on the layout. After the meeting HELIX will prepare a meeting summary and provide it to the County for review and design direction moving forward.

Sub-Task 3.2 Deliverables: • Staked layout of site improvements. • Meeting summary from meeting with adjacent residents.

Task 4 – Construction Documents

The HELIX team will develop the construction documents (plans, technical specifications, and cost estimates) based on the approved 35% plans. The plans will include a cover sheet; demolition, utilities, septic, electrical and photometric, grading and drainage, erosion control, layout, irrigation, and planting plans; detail sheets for each specialty; and, if applicable, an Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan. As part of the construction document process, the HELIX team will coordinate with NID for provision of irrigation water and with PG&E for electrical for electrical service, as applicable. Technical specifications will be prepared in Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format and will reference the County standard specifications as applicable.

At the 65% level, the general form of the project will be conveyed in plans, most details will be started, and materials and intent will be conveyed. An outline of the anticipated specification sections will be prepared at the 65% level, but no specifications will be written. A cost estimate will be prepared. Following review of the plans by County Staff, HELIX will attend a meeting or conference call with County Staff to review the plans and discuss any questions or concerns.

The project team will then integrate County comments on the 65% construction documents into the 95% construction documents. At the 95% level, the nearly final form of the project design will be conveyed in the plans, most details will be completed, and materials and intent will be fully conveyed. Changes to the design are not expected at this point in the process. Complete specifications will be prepared as part of the 95% submittal and integrated with County-provided bid document, general conditions, and front end administrative specification sections. The cost estimate will be updated and a memorandum will be prepared summarizing changes. Following review of the plans by County Staff, HELIX will attend a meeting or conference call with County Staff to review the plans and discuss any questions or concerns.

220

The project team will integrate County comments on the 95% construction documents into the 100% construction documents. At the 100% level, the final form of the project will be conveyed in plans and details completely. Specifications and cost estimate will be finalized. A memorandum will be prepared summarizing changes. The City will review the 100% construction documents and provide any final comments to HELIX. From the 100% to final plan levels only minor (text) changes are anticipated. Plans will be finalized, stamped, and signed by the respective California-licensed professionals working on each individual plan sheet.

Task 4 Deliverables: • 65% Construction Documents. • 95% Construction Documents. • 100% and Final Construction Document . • Utility Coordination.

Task 5 – Permitting

Sub-Task 5.1 – PCCP/CARP Application

The Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP) is a framework for conservation of relevant special status species and natural communities in western Placer County, and includes three separate, but complementary, components that support two sets of state and federal permits, as follows:

• Western Placer County Habitat Conservation Plan and Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP or “Plan”) protects fish and wildlife and their habitats and fulfill the requirements of the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the California Natural Community and Conservation Planning Act (NCCP Act).

• Western Placer County Aquatic Resources Program (CARP) protects streams, wetlands, and other water resources and fulfill the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act and analogous state laws and regulations.

• In-Lieu Fee Program allows requirements under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to be fulfilled by payment of a fee for compensatory mitigation of impacts on aquatic resources from activities covered under the HCP/NCCP and the CARP.

HELIX will prepare a Pre-Development Meeting Request Form, including information on the location and type of project. Following receipt of County feedback during the Pre-Development Meeting, HELIX will prepare an HCP/NCCP Take Authorization/CARP Application Form using the information provided in the SEIR. HELIX will also act as liaison with the County through review/approval of the NCCP/CARP Application and will attend a single field meeting with County staff.

Sub-Task 5.2 – RWQCB 401 Water Quality Certification or Waste Discharge Requirements

HELIX will prepare a 401 Water Quality Certification Application (for impacts to federally jurisdictional aquatic resources and waters of the State) or Request for Waste Discharge Requirements (for impacts to waters of the State) for submittal to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The Application will include the current 401 Water Quality Certification Application Form, the RWQCB fee

Sub-Task 8.2 – Record Drawings

Following project completion, each the HELIX team will complete record drawings of their sheets based upon contractor provided as-built drawings. Sub-Task 8.2 Deliverables:

• Record drawings in PDF and DWG format.

223

Sub-Task 8.3 – Maintenance Manual

The purpose of an operations and maintenance manual is to ensure the high-quality maintenance and management of the project through clear communication of expectations. This maintenance manual will include recommended maintenance practices and warranty information for furnishings and structures including the onsite drainage systems such as bioswales, the well, and the restroom. The manual will also include planting and irrigation maintenance direction in compliance with MWELO. Sub-Task 8.3 Deliverables:

• Maintenance Manual.

Sub-Task 8.4 – Geotechnical Testing and Observation, Materials Testing, and Special Inspection Services

The County and the HELIX team will agree to a testing plan. Testing will be conducted on an hourly basis

and will be on-call as determined by the County. Testing by Geocon will not exceed 360 hours for

geotechnical testing and observation, materials testing, and special inspection services during

construction. Services may include:

• Earthwork – Test and assess native soils, import soil (if required), and aggregate materials. Observe grading operations, site preparation, scarification, moisture conditioning, and perform compaction testing of engineered fill. Test and observe aggregate base (AB) placement for pavement and flatwork areas. Test and observe HMA pavement placement. Provide geotechnical engineering consultation as needed throughout earthwork operations.

• Concrete – verify use of required mix design, verify reinforcing steel mill certificates, observe structural concrete placement, and cast, transport, cure, and test concrete cylinders.

• Post-Installed Anchors – Test post-installed anchors per loading instructions from the structural designer.

• Structural Steel – Material identification, field welding inspection, and high strength bolting testing and inspection.

Task 8.4 deliverables:

• Tests and Memos as required.

Task 9 – Additional Design Work - Solar and Bridge Crossings

The base scope assumes the electrical connection for the parking lot will be completed by an underground power connection and/or additional poles. If it is decided at the 35% plan set that solar is the better power source, a solar contractor will need to be brought onboard.

Similarly, if it decided at the 35% level that bridge crossings are preferred to culvert crossings for any or all of the crossings, we can either work with a manufacture or bring a structural engineer on board to design these. Due to the unknowns at this point, a cost is not provided for this work, but can be obtained and provided if desired.

Task 9 Deliverables:

• Construction Documents outlined in Task 7 will include a solar power source and/or bridges.

224

Task 10 – Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

Although it is assumed that the construction contractor will prepare the SWPPP, if the County prefers, the HELIX team will prepare the document. The HELIX team will prepare one Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to be used by the Contractor as a guide for site management, erosion control and best management practices during construction. The SWPPP shall be prepared consistent with requirements outlined in the California State General Construction Permit.

The HELIX team will assist the owner with State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) online application for an NPDES Construction Permit for this project. RFE will provide a portable document format (PDF) copy of the SWPPP for the Owner to upload as part of the application. RFE will prepare Project Sediment Risk Evaluation and Receiving Water Risk Evaluation based on criteria in the current permit and provided by the SWRCB. This scope of work assumes the project will meet a Level 2 or Level 1 permit. Additional information required for a Level 3 project is not part of this scope of services.

Task 10 Deliverables: • Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan – one Hard Copy. • Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan – one PDF for upload to the SWRCB website as part of the

Online NPDES Construction Permit Application. • Project Sediment Risk Evaluation. • Receiving Water Risk Evaluation.

SCHEDULE The total project schedule is anticipated to take 15 months. The schedule may shift due to unanticipated concerns or conditions or County, utility, and agency response times. See Exhibit A2 for project schedule.

ASSUMPTIONS AND ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON SCOPE OF SERVICES This scope was prepared based on the following assumptions:

• Any services additional to those specifically included herein such as the services of an environmental scientists, hydrological analysis and engineering, and/or others not specifically described herein shall be provided as extra service on the basis of time and expenses or at an agreed upon additional fixed fee amount.

• All documents produced by project team will be provided to the Client as electronic copies only, in PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or DWG format. No hard copies will be produced unless otherwise noted.

• Final design will be in compliance with the existing CEQA document and existing CEQA document adequately covers the project, therefore no additional CEQA support is required.

• Except as detailed above in Tasks 2.5 through 2.7, existing technical studies are sufficient to support the project and no additional studies are required. If additional studies are required, HELIX is happy to prepare a scope for these studies.

225

• This scope does not include nesting bird surveys, biological monitoring, archaeological monitoring, and other requirements of the CEQA mitigation measures. HELIX would be happy to provide scope for this upon request.

• No more than 30 trees will require assessment within the riparian zone.

• Additional information requested by the USACE, including site visit, will take no more than 8 hours, including travel time.

• No previously recorded archaeological or architectural resources will be located within the project area and that no undocumented resources will be encountered during the survey. However, if cultural resources are identified within the project area, additional funds may be required for field documentation and reporting; if these resources cannot be avoided during construction, additional funds may be required to evaluate the significance of these resources. If documentation is necessary the resources will be recorded on the appropriate Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms, and these forms will be presented as an appendix to the Supplemental Cultural Resources Assessment.

• If changes to the project elements occur after 65%-complete construction drawings are initiated, the effort required to incorporate these changes will be performed as additional services on a time and materials basis.

Independent Contractor Verification

Independent contractors provide necessary resources to fulfill requests that are outside of the County’s usual course of business, such as when design consulting services are needed that provide multi-disciplinary expertise with an emphasis on landscape architecture. These services are not available through use of County staff.

Staff has determined that the independent contractor, Helix Environmental Planning, Inc. (hereafter “Consultant”), performs services outside the County’s usual course of business, and that that it also fits within the business-to-business exception for independent contractors (Labor Code, § 2776(a)) as follows:

1. The business service provider (Consultant) is free from the control and direction of the contracting business entity (County) in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact.

Parks in no way controls or directs the performance of Consultant. Work is disseminated to Consultant either electronically, or by paper, and returned as a finished design product.

2. The business service provider is providing services directly to the contracting business rather than to customers of the contracting business.

The Consultant provides design consulting services directly to the County.

3. The contract with the business service provider is in writing and specifies the payment amount, including any applicable rate of pay, for services to be performed, as well as the due date of payment for such services.

The County has a specific written Master Services Agreement with Consultant, and the Scope of Work for this particular project outlines payments and rates of pay for services performed, as well as any due dates.

4. If the work is performed in a jurisdiction that requires the business service provider to have a business license or business tax registration, the business service provider has the required business license or business tax registration.

Consultant represents that it has the necessary business tax registration and business licenses.

232

HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc.Page 2

5. The business service provider maintains a business location, which may include the business service provider’s residence, that is separate from the business or work location of the contracting business.

Consultant maintains an independent business location separate from any County location.

6. The business service provider is customarily engaged in an independently established business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed.

Consultant’s primary business is to provide environmental consulting services, including design consulting services, to various cities and counties throughout the state.

7. The business service provider can, and does, contract with other businesses to provide the same or similar services and maintain a clientele without restrictions from the hiring entity.

Consultant conducts business of the same nature with other cities and counties within the state.

8. The business service provider advertises and holds itself out to the public as available to provide the same or similar services.

An online search for Consultant shows that it holds itself out to the public as being available to provide its services.

9. Consistent with the nature of the work, the business service provider provides its own tools, vehicles, and equipment to perform the services, not including any proprietary materials that may be necessary to perform the services under the contract.

Consultant provides its own method, machinery, materials, and manpower to complete the requested services.

10. The business service provider can negotiate its own rates.

Consultant offered its own rates during a “request for proposals” County process.

11. Consistent with the nature of the work, the business service provider can set its own hours and location of work.

233

HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc.Page 3

Consultant sets the hours, days, and location of the work to be performed.

12. The business service provider is not performing the type of work for which a license from the Contractors’ State License Board is required, pursuant to Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code.

Helix will be providing primarily landscape architecture services, which requires a stamp. The County does not perform landscape architecture services in the usual course of its business and does not employ landscape architects. As a result, services that are being providing which require a license are outside the normal realm of services which the County provides.
