KOA proposes Chuck Stephan, P.E. as the project manager for the Palos Verdes Drive South Bicycle
Compatible Lane Improvement Project. Chuck has extensive experience with arterial street pavement
rehabilitation and improvement projects, conventional and ARHM pavement materials. Christine
Kaskara, P.E. will provide design and field engineering tasks. Derry MacMahon will provide
constructability review services for this project.
KDM Meridian already has some preliminary aerial topographic survey work in the area as a part of a
separate project. Detailed field survey work will be required to provide sufficient survey detail for the
construction plans, and we propose utilizing KDM for those services.
GeoEnvironmental Inc. has already completed a geotechnical engineering investigation and evaluation
adjacent to the proposed project area. We propose utilizing the findings from their previous
investigation as a basis for the roadway design section. If desired, we could obtain additional geotechnical
investigation data at an added cost.

3.Approach and Scope of Work
3.1 PROJECT APPROACH
Understanding
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes plans to realign a portion of Palos Verdes Drive South at Portuguese
Bend. The project will straighten an approximately 900 foot long section of roadway that has been
misaligned by years of movement due to a long term creeping landslide in the area.
Proposed Alignment
1
Existing Alignment
The existing roadway consists of various layers of overlaid asphalt concrete pavement, with dirt
shoulders and an adjacent above-ground utility pipe. It is proposed that the roadway be straightened by
constructing a new roadway section to the north. Signing, striping and markings will be in accordance
with the current California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (Ca MUTCD) requirements.
The City plans to obtain the services of an experienced professional civil engineering design firm to
evaluate the project area, prepare construction plans, specifications, and cost estimate, and assist the
City in preparing this project for bid.
KDM Meridian will perform a detailed topographic survey for this project.
PIP KOA CORPORATION
CBM Consulting Page 14
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Palos Verdes Drive South Realignment at Portuguese Bend 3.Approach and Scope of Work
Field Inventory 1 Preliminary Design
The design team will inspect the project area to assess the current site conditions, and develop
proposed alignments for the proposed improvements. We will consult with City staff to discuss the
various alternatives, and select the most desirable option before proceeding with final design work.
Topographic Survey
KDM is proposing to provide a detailed field survey consisting of the following
Beginning approximately 2,100 feet northwesterly from Schooner Drive, our proposed field survey will
collect 50' interval cross-sections, from edge of pavement on the ocean side, and extending
approximately thirty feet (30') past edge of pavement on the northerly side, for a total length of one
thousand feet (1,000'). Due to the existing heavy vegetation along the northerly side of the street, we
will supplement the sections with spot elevations sufficient to provide a representative topographic
surface within the limits of the survey.
Because of the existing geological conditions of continuous southerly movement of the land within this
area, we are not able to tie this survey to existing record monuments or maps, nor indicate record
center line or right of way.
I) Control Data
a) Horizontal: California State Plane Zone 5 (NAD83).
b) Vertical: NAVD 88.
2) Control Survey
a) Establish horizontal and vertical control points within and adjacent to project.
3) Field Survey (see attached exhibit"A")
a) Collect topographic data at 50' interval cross-sections for the project street reaches from limits
as described above. Sections will be within limits as described.
b) Supplement cross-sections in heavy vegetation areas with spot shots of clear ground.
4) Mapping
a) Topographic
i) Prepare standard mapping of survey detail collected.
5) Deliverables to consist of:
a) AutoCAD drawing files of collected survey data, with related point files.
b) Signed and sealed bond copy of site map.
Geotechnical Survey
We recommend utilizing the findings form previous geotechnical investigations for the design of the
pavement section. However, we could provide additional investigation at an added cost if desired.
Civil Design Services
From the field review and preliminary alignment, topographic survey, and geotechnical data, KOA will
complete the initial design plan. We will return to the field to verify the accuracy of our base plan and
KOA CORPORATION
CBM Consulting Page IS
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Palos Verdes Drive South Realignment at Portuguese Bend 3.Approach and Scope of Work
update site information, surface topography, utility locations, and other details as are relevant to the
scope of work.
KOA will obtain and review existing record data, including street plans, utilities, traffic plans, assessor
maps, storm water runoff facility plans, street base maps, etc. Utility companies will be requested to
submit utility information, and advised to complete any planned work prior to street construction. We
will utilize previously obtained record data that we have on file already.
The project will be documented in plan view on 24"06" plan sheets, at a scale of 1"=40'. Finer scale will
be included in details if necessary for clarification. Typical sections and notes will designate pavement
type and thickness, materials, and cross section dimensions. Plan views will include notes, symbols, lines,
or hatching designating construction features as necessary for clarity or instruction to the contractor.
Photographs will be taken throughout the project area for use during design and as a pre-construction
baseline reference.
Plans will be developed using AutoCAD. Plans will be submitted in printed format, and in digital format
as Awg and .pdf files in a format compatible with the City's GIS system.
Engineer's Estimate
Upon determination and approval of pavement rehabilitation methods and extents, construction
quantities will be determined, and an estimated construction cost prepared. Costs will be based upon
nominal unit costs experienced on similar projects within the past year.The estimate will be prepared in
spreadsheet format in MS Excel. The estimate will be submitted in printed form and digitally in .xIs and
.pdf formats.
Technical Specifications and Special Provisions
KOA will prepare specifications and provisions as necessary to describe the project, include adequate
requirements for the work and performance of the contractor, and to define bid items. Specifications
will include provisions to conform with the Americans with Disabilities Act, National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System and Clean Water Act. It is assumed that the City will provide the
necessary environmental documentation, and notification to the SWRQCB. Specifications will be
prepared using MS Word. Specifications will be delivered to the City in printed form and digitally in .doc
and .pdf formats.
Preconstruction Meeting
KOA will attend the preconstruction meeting; conduct meetings with City staff during the design phase;
and provide nominal additional materials or meetings as necessary to finalize the project documents.
KOA staff will be made available to answer questions of the City during the bid period.
(f) Final Deliverables and As Built Record Plans
Plans will be provided on 24"06" sheets for construction, and after construction in an "as Built" format
based on marked up plans to be provided by the Contractor and/or City. Specifications and Estimate will
be printed on 8.5"xI I" bond paper. Digital files will be provided in AutoCAD and PDF format for plans,

Design Limitations
We acknowledge that the project area is located on an active creeping landslide, that is expected to be
unstable for the foreseeable future. While KOA will provide a conventional roadway surfacing and
structural section. It should be expected that the roadway will continue to move, and that future
overlays, adjustments, and realignment work should be expected, and that we cannot warranty stability
of the underlying geography.
