Project Understanding & Approach
For almost 20 years, Terra Linda has worked to improve
pedestrian and bicycle improvements throughout the
north San Rafael community. With commencement of
SMART passenger service in August 2017, pedestrian
and bicycle demand has increased greatly along
Merrydale Road between the Mall at Northgate and
Civic Center Station. However, Merrydale Road in its
current configuration has two vehicle travel lanes and
no sidewalks. Working with community members and
stakeholders, the San Rafael Department of Public
Works developed a conceptual plan for a multi-use
pathway along this corridor which includes on-street
parking, improved vehicular turning movements as
well as improving pedestrian and bicycle circulation.
The City seeks to refine the design and prepare documents for
public bid and construction. To finalize the design, the City
would like to consider a better vehicle turnaround adjacent to the
SMART Station. We also believe this can be accommodated with
the conversion of the perpendicular accessible stalls to parallel
parking. We believe that looking at non-standard configurations,
may allow flexibility in design to deliver a much improved dead-
end street that would well-serve most vehicles.
To accommodate the pedestrian connection between the
multi-use pathway and the SMART Station, the project will need to
acquire an easement from the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District
(LGVSD). In our discussions with the District, we understand
it plans to replace the sewer pump station. We will work with
closely with the District to find a suitable layout that will not
impair access to the pump station or access needed to construct
and maintain it.
Based upon the Parisi CSW Design Group team's experience in
planning, design, and construction, we understand the challenges
faced in retrofitting sidewalks within existing right of way. Our
team believes that design solutions must not only be functional
and practical, but also respect the context they serve. We guide
our practice by the following:
1. Experienced Team. Assemble an interdisciplinary
design team early in the process to analyze issues from
alternative perspectives. Assign recognized experts in
their respective fields to guide technical design decisions.
2. Contextual Solutions. Seek to understand the project's
context including the history, landscape, community,
and resources prior to developing design solutions.
3. Stakeholder Connections. Engage a full range of
stakeholders in all phases of the design process to confirm
our approach. Communicate early and continuously with
all stakeholders in an open, honest, and respectful manner.
4. Value Analyses. Develop many design
alternatives to solve a problem, but use a defined
decision-making process using quantitative
analysis to select a preferred solution.
5. Lessons Learned. Distribute"lessons learned"from
previous projects constructed each year to our staff.
6. Life-Cycle Costs. Design solutions that respect the
complete life cycle cost of a project such as considering
the use of pavers or concrete rather than asphalt.
Bicycle use is heavy on Merrydale. As the proposed multi-use path will be limited
in width, the final design should consider the use of effective wayfinding, including
povement legends and signage to improve safety for all users .
I:tJ;rU
CSW DESIGN BROUP
2 I
Parisi CSW Design Group and our interdisciplinary
design team have the leadership and expertise to
develop innovative design solutions given the following.
Strong Communications and Communications
and Outreach Balances Competing Interests
Planning transportation improvements within the Terra Linda
community will require outreach to stakeholders including
residents, schools, business owners, Caltrans, LGVSD, SMART, and
public utilities to understand their unique concerns. In addition, it
will require focused outreach to those businesses directly affected
by a project. While it is likely not possible to meet everyone's
needs completely, our goal is to listen to concerns and develop
a cost-effective design that achieves consensus. Based on our
team's past practice, we understand this will include many face-to -
face meetings with property owners in the field. We understand
the importance of communication and we will deliver what the
project needs to achieve success.
Mitigating Risks
As our team supports the construction of many millions of dollars
of street improvement projects annually, we understand that
conflicts due to unforeseen conditions present significant cost
risks. To reduce the potential for conflict, we implement the
latest technology to rapidly and cost effectively collect data to
understand the existing conditions along corridors.
The existing drainage ditch along Merrydale iNiII require removal. While likely not
a jurisdictional waterway, our environmental specialists from LSA Associates will
evaluate during the preliminary design.
Environmental Compliance
Understanding the environmental resource issues early in
the design process is essential to plan project alternatives.
Environmental agencies and stakeholders will scrutinize rural
area projects due to the desire to preserve the remaining natural
habitats. In collaboration with LSA Associates, we have extensive
experience evaluating environmental resources to develop design
alternatives and construction phasing strategies to complete
projects.

Should a vehicle turnaround be a desired option, we plan to study converting
the parallel stalls to accessible. This should not require a 5-foot encroachment
into the sidewalk assuming the guidelines contained in the Proposed Rights-
of-Way Guidelines as defined by the United States Access Board are acceptable.
'''-,
While the vehicle turnaround may not meet standard requirements, it should be
serviceable by most vehicles . This alternative provides for a rain garden to remove
contaminates from starm water.
Technical Approach
The Parisi CSW Design Group's scope of services to improve the pedestrian connection along Merrydale Road
is summarized below. Based upon the conceptual plan prepared by City staff, our team has developed a
scope of services to advance the design, complete an environmental assessment, and support both bidding
and construction.
TASK 1: PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
Objective:
In this initial phase, our team will complete a series of technical
studies to refine the concept design including integration of
turn-around at the end of Merrydale. Our team will confirm the
acceptance of the alternative with community members and
sta keholders.
1.1 Data Collection and Field Review
Our team will collect information and perform a field review to
understand basic conditions of Merrydale Road and the extension
to the undercrossing.
A. Data Collection
The team will collect and review the following documents:
• Civic Center Station Area Plan
• North San Rafael Vision Promenade Conceptual Plan
• 2011 Bicycle/ Pedestrian Master Plan Update
• Vision north San Rafael
• Record City and public utility data
B. Site Reconnaissance.
The team will walk the site to assess community features,
condition of asphalt pavement and adjacent gravel/dirt area,
drainage patterns, health of existing trees and landscaping,
multimodal conditions (during both peak and during midday
periods), user sight distance, and accessibility. We will compile a
photographic log in the project areas to document the existing
conditions to supplement the City-provided topography.
1.2 Preliminary Engineering (35%)
Based on the results of the technical studies, our team will work
to refine the preliminary design. We will provide the following
documents:
A. Preliminary Plans
• Title Sheet
• Layout and Striping Plan including an optional
turnaround at the end of Merrydale
• Grading Plan to define limits of work
• Photometric and lighting plan
• Storm Water Quality Plan
• Preliminary Right of Way Assessment
B. Narratives
• Budget to construct improvements include soft,
hard, utility fees, and construction costs
• Design exception report
• Right of way assessment
• Conformance to MCSTOPPP Stormwater Program
The undercrossing of Highway 101 is dark at night. Our team will explore options to increase lighting to promote users sense of safety & security as they use the new sidewalk .

CSW I DESIGN SII01IP
1.3 Design Confirmation Outreach
The project has already undergone intense community
engagement. We believe further outreach will be critical for
continued support and successful implementation. To update
community members and stakeholders, our team will hold
several meetings to solicit feedback regarding the project's design
including the following:
A. Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District
B. Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit
C. Mt Olivet Cemetary, San Rafael
D. Northgate Mall
E. Local businesses including Northgate Security Storage
F. Community Meetings
We will hold up to two general meetings with the Terra Linda
community to review the design and solicit feedback.
G. On-line Engagement
To address community and stakeholder questions and concerns
through mUltiple mediums, we propose to provide opportunities
for on -line engagement using the City's website. Our team will
provide project illustrations and narratives to receive electronic
feedback.
1.4 Existing Conditions Mapping
With approval of the 35% plans, we may complete the following:
A. Field Survey
Our team will complete additional data collection should the
existing survey not provide adequate information to complete
the design.
B. Boundary Survey
We will research City, County and CALTRANS records to determine
property boundary information within the project area. Field crews
will search and measure the location of all record monuments
within the project area. This will serve as the basis for monument
preservation requirements of the contract documents.
C. Utility Locating
Should the proposed improvements appear to conflict with
existing utilities, our team will markup a map and request the
City pothole improvements. We will have a staff member at the
site during potholing to acquire data.
D. Base Map
Our team will modify the existing topographic data.
1.5 Public Utilities
As the project may require the relocation of existing public utilities,
Parisi CSW will begin working with MMWD, Las Gallinas Sanitary
District, Pacific Gas and Electric, Com cast, and AT&T early in the
process. To support the effort, we will complete the following:
Submit a notice to owners providing information
on the project's limits and schedule
• Host a meeting at the City of San Rafael inviting all public
utilities to the meeting, again outlining the expectations
• Submit a notice to relocate utilities based on the 35% plans
• Integrate the utility relocations and
schedule into the 95% submittal
1.6 Contract Management
Parisi CSW will be responsible for overall management of our
design team including the following:
A. Project Management
Richard Souza will manage the design team as well as track
progress, schedule, and budget. We will be responsible for
documenting design decisions and keeping an official record of
the project. Furthermore, we will submit monthly progress reports
identifying tasks completed, budget status, and issues status.
B. Quality Controll Assurance
David Parisi will perform an independent quality control review
of the team's documents prior to submittal.
C. Meetings
The team will attend up to two (2) meetings during this phase
of work.
SUMMARY OF DELIVERABLES

TASK 2: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Objective:
LSA will prepare an environmental assessment consistent with
the California Environmental Quality Act.
2.1 Project Initiation.
Parisi CSW in conjunction with LSA Associates will prepare a
project description consistent with the approved 35% design. The
project description will include information on the environmental
setting, detai ls of the proposed improvements, proposed
construction activities, and project phasing. LSA will include
relevant plans or diagrams as provided by the Project Engineer
with the project description.
2.2 Technical Memorandums.
Given the location in an existing urban setting, LSA will document
existing conditions to identify potential issues related to biological
resources and cultural resources, if any, to document potential
impacts.
A. Biological Resources.
LSA will provide a biological reconnaissance memorandum
documenting and evaluating biological resources on site,
including the potential presence and impacts to special-status
species, sensitive habitats, and potential regulated wetlands. LSA
will review all relevant databases, including the California Native
Diversity Database (CNDDB) and others.
During the preliminary design phase, our team will work with stakeholders to
develop a plan that separates vehicle traffic from the existing multi-use trail,
which is experience a growing volume of users .
B. Cultural Resources
LSA will perform the following tasks:
• Conduct a records search of documents on file
at the Northwest Information Center;

2.3 CEQA Categorical Exemption.
The CEQA Guidelines include a list of classes of projects determined
not to have a significant effect on the environment and which,
therefore, are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The following
two classes most closely align with the proposed project:
Class 1 (Section 15301), Existing Facilities, which includes existing
highways and streets, sidewalks gutters, bicycle and pedestrian
trails, and similar facilities.
l:tj~ml
c S W I DESIGN GROUP
6 1
Class 4 (Section 15304), Minor Alterations to Land, which includes
the creation of bicycle lanes on existing rights-of-way.
For a project to be considered exempt under CEQA it must
also not meet any of the following exceptions listed in Section
15300.2:
Location. For classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11, a project that is
ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may
in a particularly sensitive environment be significant.
Cumulative Impact. None of the categorical exemptions
apply if significant cumulative impacts will result over time
from successive projects of the same type in the same place.
Significant Impact. None of the categorical exemptions
apply if there is a "reasonable possibility" that significant
environmental impacts will result due to "unusual
circumstances:'
Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used
for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources,
including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar
resources, within a highway officially designated as a state
scenic highway.
TASK 3: FINAL DESIGN
Objective:
With the refinement of elements, the team will complete final
documents for bidding and construction.
3.1 Prepare 65% Documents
The team will prepare construction documents, including plans
(24" x 36" size) and specifications, in accordance with the City's
standards. We will prepare all drawings using AutoCAD Civil 3D
version 2015 (or later if applicable). Each submittal will contain
the following design elements:
A. Plans
• Title and Key Map
• Demolition Plan
• Sidewalk Layout and Grading Plan
• Striping and Sign Plans
Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be
used for a project located on a site which is included on any list
compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not
be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse
change in the significance of a historical resource.
In preparing the CE, LSA would include a discussion of why these
individual exceptions do not apply to this proposed project.
Using the data and research collected in biological and cultural
surveys of the site, LSA will prepare the Administrative Draft and
Final CE pursuant to CEQA to file with the State Clearinghouse.
This task includes filing the Notice of Exemption after the City
approves the CEo The fee for filing the Notice of Exemption would
be a reimbursable expense.
