Scope of work - Southern Heights Bridge Replacement
City of San Rafael
March 17, 2020
PHASE 5 - EXTENDED RIGHT OF WAY SERVICES
AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
Prior phases for the project included project initiation, surveying and base mapping, geotechnical investigation, public
outreach, preliminary engineering, environmental technical studies, environmental clearance, right of way and utility
coordination services and final design.
The scope of this amendment request includes:
• Updating the TCEs for 5 properties
• Continued utility coordination
• Modification of the southern retaining wall from a cantilever retaining wall to a soldier pile wall to accommodate
construction access requests made by the property owner at 116 Southern Heights during TCE negotiations
• Construction support services
The detailed scope of work for the proposed additional tasks is provided below. A cost proposal for the proposed scope
of work is provided as an attachment.
TASK 1.0 RIGHT OF WAY
1.1 TCE Updates
Utility relocation has delayed the project, causing previously acquired TCEs to expire before the anticipated completion
of project in June 2021. Hamner, Jewell & Associates (HJA) will update the TCEs for the following properties
Owner Name
APN
Address
TCE Area
Cooper Trust
012-282-36
65 Pleasant Lane
3,637 SF
Feidler
013-124-07
122 Southern Heights Blvd
102 and 520 SF
Lederman
012-282-40
90 Pleasant Lane

Lubka

75 Pleasant Lane
9,164 SF
Turner Trust 013-124-06 126 Southern Heights Blvd 588 SF TCE and 368 FS Temporary Access Easement
The Shemano Family Trust parcel APN 013-132-01 and Daglow parcel APN 012-282-17 have not been scoped as part of
these services because the expiration of their TCEs will occur on June 30, 2021 at the same time in which construction
completion is anticipated.

HJA will update the value of the proposed TCE and access rights by completing waiver valuations and updating the
comparable sales in the area. Utilizing their in-house valuation service will reduce total costs and time for appraisal
services. However, if HJA is not able to reach amicable settlement with these owner(s), the valuation process would need
to start from the beginning as an agency cannot condemn on a waiver valuation. If an agreement cannot be reached using
the waiver valuation process it would require formal appraisals, review appraisals, preparation of another offer package
and a subsequent offer made to the owner(s). This would require additional budget and time beyond what is included in
this scope.
Once the valuation process is complete, and the values are reviewed and pre -approved by the City, HJA will prepare offer
packages for each owner that will include an offer letter, Valuation Summary Statement, proposed Temporary
Construction Easement Agreement, a right of way acquisition informational brochure and Title VI information. These
documents will be presented to the City for its review and pre -approval prior to presenting offers to property owners.
After offer presentation, HJA will pursue agreements with each owner to obtain the additional TCEs. It is always HJA's
goal to reach mutually acceptable amicable agreements on the City's behalf. However, if for any reason HJA does not gain
property owner cooperation, HJA will consult with the project team and City Attorney if appropriate to identify other
courses of action.
1.2 Utility Coordination
Mark Thomas will continue to provide utility coordination for the project to address the relocation of utility poles and
overhead electric and communication lines, and natural gas and water lines on the bridge. Due to the federal funding
associated with the project, utility coordination services will be conducted in general, conformance with Caltrans Local
Assistance and Utility Relocation Manuals. The Mark Thomas team will continue following the Utility A -B -C process. Utility
A letter were included as part of Phase 1 scope of work. Utility notification letters and utility agreements were included
as part of Phase 2 scope of work. However, due to utility company staff changes and non -responsiveness, along with
relocation liability disputes, the utility agreement process has stretched out for more than two years.
Mark Thomas will continue coordinating with MMWD, PG&E electrical, PG&E gas, AT&T and Comcast on the relocation
of their facilities in conflict with the project. This coordination will include email correspondence, phone calls, conference
calls, plan revisions and on-site meetings to discuss the relocation plans and achieve signed utility documents for inclusion
in the ROW certification.
13 TCE Negotiated Design Revisions
Mark Thomas will redesign the southwest abutment wingwall from a cast -in-place cantilever retaining wail to a soldier
pile wall. The design change is needed to minimize access interruption to the Shemano property as negotiated during
the TCE acquisition process.
1.4 Updated Right of Way Certification
Mark Thomas will prepare a revised Exhibit 13-B Right of Way Certification and send to Caltrans for approval. The revised
Exhibit 13-B is expected to include revised TCE Agreements and documentation on receipt of payments for the new TCE's.
Additional coordination and updates for utility relocations are not included in this scope of work.

TASK. 2.0 BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
Scope of Work - Southern Heights Bridge Replacement
City of San Rafael
March 17, 2020
2.1 Bidding and Construction Support
Mark Thomas will assist the City during the bidding process and during construction of the project. The work may include
answering bid inquiries from prospective bidders, attending pre-bid meetings, and preparing addenda to the PS&E
documents during the advertisement period. During construction, the work may include responding to Requests for
Information (RFIs), providing consultation and interpretation of the contract documents, preparing Contract Change
Orders (CCOs), reviewing shop drawings, and attending construction meetings and field visits. It is assumed that the City
will contract with a consulting firm to complete the construction management of the project during construction and that
Mark Thomas' role during construction will be limited to those items noted above. Mark Thomas has provided a "budget"
amount to be used on a time and materials basis as requested by the City. Any time spent beyond this budget will require
a contract amendment.
2 2 Record Drawings
Mark Thomas will prepare record drawings based on the red -lined as -built drawings submitted by the construction
manager after completion of construction.
