screens (b) Prepare a Project schedule and meeting minutes for the kick-off meeting/call 2 Topographic Aenal Survey (a) The same level of information obtained from the City for right-of- way(R/W)and property lines will be sufficient for the Project study level of effort The new topographic survey will be tied to the previously collected R/W line work In addition to previous study parcel/property lines,boundary lines, street center line,and right-of- way (R/W) are not included, with the exception of these same lines as depicted within the City GIS base data Thus, the City's GIS will be the source of all property lines and roadway R/W (b) Aerial mapping at a 1-inch to 40-foot scale with 1-foot interval contours will be compiled together with a color ortho-corrected image file that is geo-referenced Field survey will be performed to set aerial targets, collect quality control points, and to set various control points needed for the augmentation surveys 01203 0006/669599 3 A-1 (c) Five days of topographic augmentation field surveys will be provided based on Consultant's requests for information They will be completed and invoiced in daily increments, to include the time necessary to generate the point file and noted deliverables Sketches and photos prepared as part of the topographic augmentation will be digitized and provided as well as ASCII point files of collected points (i) Parcel and Right-of-Way Information (A) Coordinate GIS information retrieval from the City (B) Control Datum 1) Horizontal CCS83, Zone V (NA2011 2011 00) [To be confirmed] 2)

Survey 1) Collect topographic detail (e g sections, structure detail, dips) as requested by Consultant 3 Topographic Base Sheets for Conceptual Plans ✓ (a) Utilizing the previously discussed aerial and supplemental ground surveys, updated construction plan, and profile base sheets will be prepared in AutoCAD for each of the mainline creek alternative design solutions that are proposed The base sheets would be prepared using the City's standard format at a scale of 1" = 40' horizontally and 1" = 8' or 16' vertically Existing improvements would be screened so that the full toned proposed improvements will stand out The digested base sheets will include the following (i) Surface and subsurface utility locations, 01203 0006/669599 3 A-2 (ii) One foot contour intervals tied to appropriate coordinate system, (iii) Dimensions, labels, and match lines, (iv) Existing storm drain culverts from survey and record drawings, (v) Existing P/L's and R/W locations from City's GIS files, (vi) Existing stationing and street name labels, as appropriate, (vii) Existing topography to the limits described in the survey section, (viii) Existing Creek invert or surface profile over CL of proposed pipe, and (ix) Supplemental survey topography and elevation information at key proposed improvement locations, as needed 4 Geotechnical Feasibility Study (Performed by Subconsultant Ninyo & Moore) The purpose of this updated preliminary geotechnical evaluation will be to further evaluate the existing soil, geologic, and groundwater conditions compared to Consultant's observations from 2016 with respect to the revised preliminary design for managing the drainage flow along Altamira Canyon As per the original RFP, this study phase of the project will NOT include any field soil sample collection or borings, but instead will consist of record data collection and fact finding to support the development of preliminary design alternatives for various aspects of the project The scope of services includes the following (i) Review the existing report and other readily available background information including geotechnical reports, geologic and geologic hazard maps, landslide maps, and historical aerial photographs (ii) Perform a geologic reconnaissance of the canyon and vicinity by Consultant's engineering geologists who will observe, photograph, and document the existing site conditions and observed physical changes since 2016 (iii) Compile data and analyze the resulting background and field data The faulting and seismicity section of Consultant's 01203 0006/66999 3 A-3 2016 report will be updated to current building code standards (iv) Attend up to two (2) meetings with the City and the design team and/or public meetings (v) Prepare an update report to the 2016 preliminary report summarizing additional findings, conclusions, and recommendations regarding the alternative designs for the project B Conceptual Design & Project Study Report(PSR) 1 Field Review Consultant will perform a field review of the latest existing site conditions to determine the following (a) Review completeness/accuracy of the computerized survey base maps and essential topographic features (b) Note any new potential utility conflicts (c) Note any new potential issues where new storm drain and canyon channel alignments are anticipated (d) Note other existing conditions that may affect the design and alternatives NOTE The Project site will be inspected by hiking and recording the features of interest and any new potential challenges for the full extent of the Project site within the limits of work Consultant will identify changes to the existing drainage components 2 Hydrology & Hydraulics Study (a) The previously prepared main channel hydraulic modeling will not be revisited because it is assumed that the anticipated changed conditions since the last study was conducted will not be significant enough to affect the proposed hydraulic calculations However, Consultant will survey, photo document, and map the changed conditions and revise the recommended impacts For example, if riprap rock was placed where it did not existing previously, Consultant might recommend protecting it or replacing it to make sure the proposed channel solution is continuous and does not have breaches in the proposed impermeable liner and sub-drain system (b) Between the previous study and now extended study,Hydrology and Hydraulics sub-consultant CWE, Inc 's ("CWE") evaluation of the hydraulics of Altamira Creek will span from the Pacific Ocean to Santa Barbara Drive and Crenshaw Boulevard at the top of the West 01203 0006/66999 3 A-4 Fork The Hydrologic Engineering Center—River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) software will be used for modeling the hydraulics of the system Previous investigations will be compared to current conditions to determine the impacts of wet winters on the channel and erosion of banks Previous models of the main stem of the creek will be used for analysis Previously developed hydrology will be used to determine flow rates in the watershed at specific creek bed points of interest 3 Field Investigation (a) The Altamira Canyon watershed is an approximately 860 acre watershed located on the southern side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula that drains into Abalone Cove CWE will conduct field reconnaissance and prepare a photo log of the existing conditions at key locations along the stream channel Sediment grain size samples will be collected for key locations using the Wolman Pebble Count method to estimate bed matenal sediment size for evaluation of transport potential at various flow rates Relevant existing literature will be compiled and analyzed to describe the environmental setting Locations of scour and deposition will be noted Roughness will be estimated based on site conditions, vegetation, and bed gradation The bed and banks will be photographed at erosional areas and key locations for evaluation of bank stability Key locations will include bndges due to accessibility, the need to understand bridge sizing constraints, and existing conditions at the channel crossings The data provided by the City will be reviewed and verified during the field investigation The information gathered during the site visit will be detailed in an appendix of the drainage report (b) A field investigation report will be prepared to document the findings of the field investigation and will include a photo log of photographs taken for later use in concept development and evaluation The field investigation report will be an appendix in the Hydraulic Model Technical Memorandum 4 Existing Conditions Hydraulic Model Development (a) A HEC-RAS model will be developed for the one-dimensional (1- D) channel sections analysis for the entire Altamira Creek drainage system The model will be used to evaluate channel hydraulics for stabilization measures based on the outputs from the hydrology model CWE will utilize the hydrology study and topographic survey data to evaluate existing conditions The model will add cross-sections and flow data for the West Fork to the existing conditions hydraulic model of the canyon 01203 0006/66999 3 A-5 (b) Develop a HEC-RAS hydraulic model to evaluate the natural stream hydraulics of the existing drainage system, specifically in the West Fork above the reaches in the previously conducted study area The model will evaluate the flow depths, velocities, and water surface elevations The output from the model will be used to evaluate the incipient motion of bed materials and the ability of the banks to resist scour (c) The impacts of culverts and pipes on the velocities, the need for energy dissipation, and the channel capacity will be evaluated for the existing conditions for the flow rates from the hydrologic analysis The larger corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culverts in the system may be too steep and long to be evaluated effectively using the culvert hydraulics routine in HEC-RAS If this appears to be the case, the CMP will be evaluated using the Water Surface Profile Gradient (WSPG) model developed by Los Angeles County Flood Control District(LACFCD)and the water elevations will be used as boundary conditions for the HEC-RAS model The hydraulic analysis will also evaluate scour using the 2006 LACDPW Sedimentation Manual to evaluate potential long-term channel changes associated with existing conditions (d) Each of the concepts will be modeled with three outlet works configurations to evaluate how sensitive the system is to this design parameter in modifying flow charactenstics in the downstream system in terms of channel velocities and shear stresses The output from these models will be used to evaluate stream stabilization concepts and plans 5 Proposed Conditions Hydraulic Analyses (a) Based on preliminary design section alternatives for the drainage system, CWE will develop up to four (4) models of proposed conditions and evaluate proposed alternatives for channel improvements The alternatives will potentially include culverts,rip rap, piping, energy dissipation structures, controlled water flow, revetments, retaining walls, gabions, retention basins, inlet and outlet structures, and bypass systems HEC-RAS or WSPG models will be used to evaluate these hydraulic system modifications as appropnate HEC-RAS is best for open channel hydraulic systems WSPG is best for evaluating closed conduit and pressurized flow systems The models will evaluate the flow depths, velocities, and water surface elevations The output from the models will be used to evaluate the incipient motion of bed materials and the ability of the banks to resist scour The impacts of culverts and pipes on the velocities, the need for energy dissipation, and the channel capacity 01203 0006/669599 3 A-6 will be evaluated for the proposed alternative conditions for the flow rates from the hydrologic analysis 6 Hydraulic Model Technical Memorandum (a) A technical memorandum will be developed for the hydraulic modeling The memorandum will detail the data sources, methodologies, and model results at each specified location The field investigation report and photo log will also be added, along with Wolman Pebble Count data A draft memorandum will be prepared for internal Project team review and comments A draft final report will be developed based on the internal comments and submitted to City for review and comment The comments received will be incorporated into the final technical memorandum The model will be submitted to the City for review and comment A final model will be prepared which incorporates City comments Note Since originally proposed debris basin study was never performed and is seen as an unlikely solution due to the lack of level land, ease of access and inability to easily maintain, there will be no detailed debris basin sizing analysis However, debris basins will be discussed within the body of the report to discuss the pros and cons of these systems This lack of a 10%conceptual design for the debris basins originally proposed will not prevent debris basins from being considered in the future during the PS&E phase (b) Once the existing conditions and proposed conditions alternatives hydraulic analyses are completed, CWE will provide the results of their study in a hydraulics report that will be combined with Consultant's portion of the Hydrology & Hydraulics (H&H) study These findings will be presented in the H&H section of the PSR and presented at the various feedback meetings with City staff The write up will be straightforward and summarize the results of the hydrology refinements and hydraulics analyses, including all supporting calculations and hydrology drainage area map 7 Meetings The CWE team will attend up to six(6)one hour teleconferences meetings, in addition to one (1) City Council meeting and one (1) community outreach meeting All meetings may be substituted with teleconference meetings, such as Skype or Google Hangouts, given the COVID-19 conditions 8 Added Value / Team Facilitator Consultant will be supported by a proven project facilitator,Alan Braatvedt from Sunbeam Consulting("Value/Team Facilitator"), who has worked consistently well with Consultant and City staff to help make the recent McCarrell Canyon and San Ramon Canyon projects successful The Value/Team Facilitator has been instrumental in coordinating the many parties involved on said previous projects and is 01203 0006/669599 3 A-7 intimately familiar with the City, neighborhoods, groups, and agencies that will be involved in this study phase outreach and preliminary design The Value/Team Facilitator's role throughout the duration of the Project would be as follows (a) Coordination with City staff and departments, including Public Works, Parks, Engineering, Open Space Committee, and the City Council (b) Coordination and outreach with public groups including local neighborhoods, the Palos Verdes Heritage Castle Museum, local hiking and equestrian groups (c) Assistance with public outreach efforts including presentations at public meetings, and one-on-one interaction with residents and group representatives (d) Assist Consultant and City staff in identifying and dealing with potential or realized constraints and opportunities (e) Assist Consultant and City staff in investigation of existing canyon conditions, including hiking the entire reach of the project area (f) Brainstorm with Consultant and City staff on various feasible project alternatives, and assessment of the proposed strategies / alternatives 9 Develop Preliminary Conceptual Designs & Project Study Report (PSR) (a) The Project Study Report (PSR) will include the development of up to four (4) design alternatives (with the possibility of several sub- options that can be mixed and matched with various alternatives) that will aid in managing both stormwater flow and nuisance water/low flows through the Altamira Canyon The options will include one or a combination of various mitigation measures, such as canyon fill with armament (rip rap, Armor Flex, etc ), culverts/pipe lines (extend existing culverts, energy dissipation systems (controlled water flow), walls (soil-nail walls, gabions, retaining walls, caisson revetment, etc ), retention basins/debris basins,and inlet and outlet structures related to any pipeline system The study will evaluate expanded area of Altamira Canyon above the west fork(see map on first page)and the original limits between upper Narcissa Drive (East of Sweetbay Road) to the inlet of the 120" CMP at lower Narcissa Drive (north of PVDS) and the downstream section located south of PVDS where the 120" CMP outlets down to the canyon to the Pacific Ocean 01203 0006/669599 3 A-8 (b) The PSR will be developed in accordance with Los Angeles County (LAC) design standards As discussed in detail in the project approach section of this proposal the designs will be innovative and as such some may not be covered by conventional LAC standards However, wherever practical, the designs will meet or exceed LAC standards (c) Each of the alternate designs must include its own analysis of the cost, schedule and difficulty associated with the easement acquisition, geological and environmental conditions for that particular design alternative Each design alternative will be evaluated against one another and summarized in a"Comparison of Alternatives"matrix chart, similar to what was prepared for the San Ramon Canyon Drainage design project, to assess cost, constructability, and effectiveness of the concept in dealing with all of the various conditions, the environmental impacts and the period of time required for approvals, compliance and construction, etc (d) Ultimately a final PSR will address, at a minimum, the following (i) Estimate of cost to produce PS&E bid documentation based on percentage of construction, (ii) Documentation of survey, geological exploration, environmental approval process, (iii) Identification of all approvals required from permitting/regulatory agencies, (iv) Estimate of the cost to obtain permits from each agency, (v) Schedule for each phase of the process, through construction, (vi) Possible obstructions, impacts and the required mitigation measures, (vii) Recommended priontization of improvement reaches, such as completing portions of the mid-reach channel improvements that most impact adjacent dwellings, versus improvements that will simply limit future erosion in the upper and lower canyons, Preliminary conceptual design plans will be prepared indicating the recommended project elements for each alternative solution and would include the following items 01203 0006/669599 3 A-9 (i) Existing and proposed mainline Altamira Canyon design layout plans and profiles (complete with utility crossings at various culvert/street crossing, where applicable), (ii) Details for conceptual structures,debris basin, and detention basin(if any), (iii) Trenchless and open trench installation details and typical sections, (iv) Other pertinent details, (v) Utility impacts (relocations, adjustments and/or modifications), (vi) Canyon lining alternatives, including over-excavation key/benches, grading, fill, impermeable membranes, sub- drains, and side slope grading/stabilization details, (vii) Temporary construction easement and permanent easement acquisition needs, (viii) Preliminary opinion of construction cost estimates for comparison, and (ix) A list of items requinng City feedback, along with the Consultant's associated recommendations, 10 Environmental Study (a) Consultant will utilize their in-house environmental compliance staff to revisit the previously prepared preliminary environmental research and analysis related to the preparation of the PSR It is anticipated that the drainage improvements will likely be funded with local funds, and the project would need environmental clearance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) However, assuming the City might like to preserve the option of obtaining/using federal funds,the future improvement project would also need environmental clearance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Consultant will revisit the previously prepared scope and budget that identifies the appropriate environmental documents for environmental clearance of the project under CEQA and NEPA and any preparation of applications for regulatory permits that will be required The various regulatory agencies will also be contacted to confirm requirements and permitting costs 01203 0006/669599 3 A-1 0 (b) The sub-tasks identified below outline the effort of revisiting the previously prepared work program for conducting preliminary environmental research and analysis related to the preparation of a PSR for the proposed project and preparing a scope and budget for the technical studies and the environmental document to environmentally clear the project under CEQA and NEPA Consultant will revisit the previously prepared following tasks (1) Task El Project Initiation, (ii) Task E2 CEQA Environmental Checklist, (iii) Task E3 CEQA Environmental Proposal/City's environmental checklist form, (iv) Task E4 NEPA Environmental Proposal, and (v) Task E5 Meeting Attendance and Project Management (A) This task represents an active project management role and includes attendance at various project meetings and coordination with regulatory agencies and interested parties The project management role provides a mechanism to make sure that there is an adequate exchange of information The environmental team will attend up to four (4) 30- minute teleconference calls,such as Skype or Google Meets, given the COVID-19 conditions 11 Temporary Construction Easement & Drainage Easement Evaluation (a) All existing improvements and private property within limits of work will be included per City's electronic GIS map files so that requirements to acquire any additional land for the proposed improvements can be easily identified and appraised This will be the case for Temporary Construction Easements (TCE) and permanent drainage easements and/or the need for acquisitions as appropnate (b) A composite TCE and permanent drainage easement map will be prepared showing the entire canyon on one or more large scale maps and their overlap with private property (showed shaded—one shade type for TCE's and one for permanent drainage easements)and will include approximate square footage TCE area and permanent drainage easement area Consultant will work with City staff to establish the likely costs per square foot, if any, to obtain said easements 01203 0006/669599 3 A-11 (c) Because the property lines may have shifted due to past landslide movement, any TCE or drainage easement document that will ultimately be generated is recommended to be an independent cohesive overarching document that is a stand-alone combined easement not directly dependent upon the location of the existing properties It will be tied to controls not dependent upon the existing properties, which could have shifted However the overlap of each affected property will be approximated, shown and eventually even mapped with a legal descnption and map during the PS&E phase During this study phase the overlap acreage of each affected property will be approximated and illustrated on a clear easy to read exhibit for use in evaluating the vanous related alternatives NOTE Preliminary Title Reports (PTR's) can be obtained at an approximate cost of$660 each, but the value of getting a PTR for every property may not be warranted at this study phase level (d) There are twelve(12)properties in the expanded canyon study limits and there are twenty eight (28) properties along the original study limits of Altamira Canyon This bring the total number of potentially affected properties to forty (40), however Consultant recommends earmarking a budget of up to ten (10) PTR's as an optional additional service in the fee schedule The logic is that during this study phase, the City will not likely need a PTR for most properties but might want to get a few properties,such as ones with SCE power poles and/or SCE manholes, to look for utility easements and/or at the proposed basin locations and there access roads where expanded easement areas would be required to look for ownership issues Regardless, the scope and fee does not include digesting and mapping the property lines from the PTR's because that task would be a significant effort and defeats the purpose of using the GIS generated P/L's and R/W lines 12 City Staff Feedback Meetings (a) Consultant will attend up to four (4) progress meetings with City staff (supplemented or replaced with teleconferences), with key players from the City and Consultant present,to present and discuss the results of the previously detailed tasks and reach preliminary concurrence on the various elements and alternatives These feedback meetings will help solidify the various alternative solutions prior to refining the previously prepared draft PSR and environmental study, to allow efficient progress and confirmation that the solutions remain within the City's preferences At each meeting, Consultant will confirm Project schedule is on track and prepare meeting minutes shortly thereafter 13 Refine Project Study Report& Concept Designs per City Staff Feedback 01203 0006/669599 3 A-12 (a) As necessary,refinements would be made to the PSR and alternative conceptual designs, plans and exhibits per the feedback'received from City staff in order to develop a presentable PSR that meets all of the City's goals, budgets and concerns pnor to proceeding to meetings with the community and City Council 14 Community Outreach, City Council & Outside Agency Meetings (a) Consistent with the previous study experience, there will be substantial interaction and collaboration between the Consultant and City staff in developing the concept design, so specific milestones will be developed between the designer and the City for review, comment and contnbution In addition to the previously mentioned four (4) design progress meetings, there will be up to two (2) community outreach meetings and an additional up to two (2) City Council meetings, as required (dunng the startup, if needed, mid- study, and to present the final PSR for approval) All meetings may be substituted with teleconference meetings, such as Skype or Google Hangouts, given the COVID-19 conditions (b) It is essential that the Project receives the support of the community and thus the community outreach meetings will provide an avenue for the transfer of the local community's ideas and concerns, which will be noted and incorporated into the design alternatives City staff will be responsible for organizing the public outreach meetings if they are to be held in person NOTE Several photo simulations will be prepared to illustrate the "before" and "after" conditions proposed in the canyon, which is helpful for the public to visualize what the typical cross sections will really look like II. As part of the Services, Consultant will prepare and deliver the following tangible work products to the City. A Phase 1, Task B 1 Base mapping in AutoCAD at 1" to 40 foot scale with 1-foot interval contours will be compiled together with a color ortho-corrected image file that is georeferenced 2 Sketches and photos prepared as part of the topographic augmentation will be digitized and provided as well as ASCII point files of collected points B Phase 2, Task B 1 Draft Hydraulic Technical Memorandum detailing development of the model and findings of the existing and proposed conditions (PDF Format) 2 Draft Final Hydraulic Technical Memorandum detailing development of the model and findings of the existing and proposed conditions (PDF Format) 01203 0006/669599 3 A-13 3 Final Hydraulic Technical Memorandum detailing development of the model and findings of the existing and proposed conditions (PDF Format) III.
