Subject: Proposal for Civil Engineering Services -Lincoln Avenue Curb Ramps
Shawn:
BKF Engineers (BKF) welcomes the opportunity to submit this Proposal for civil engineering services to
design new accessible curb ramps along Lincoln Avenue in the City of San Rafael. To arrive at the estimated
effort required by our office for this project, we have outlined a proposed scope of services, identified
assumptions, and determined a level of effort fee based on our understanding of the project.
I. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on your proposal request and information obtained from your RFP email and attachments dated
April 16, 2018, we understand the City intends to design and construct a total of twenty-nine (29) new
accessible curb ramps at the intersections of Lincoln Avenue with the following streets :
• Maple Street (3 ramps) • Myrtle Drive (2 ramps)
• Paloma Avenue (4 ramps) • Glenwood Drive (3 ramps)
• Prospect Drive (2 ramps) • Wilson Court (3 ramps)
• Linden Lane (1 ramp) • Hammondale Court (2 ramps)
• Brookdale Avenue (3 ramps) • Hamilton Court (2 ramps)
• Grand Avenue (4 ramps)
We understand that the City has already designed eight (8) new curb ramps at the intersections of Lincoln
Avenue with Mission Avenue, Laurel Place and Pacheco Street. We have assumed that the City will be
providing a signed and stamped copy of these designs for inclusion in the final Bid Documents and that no
further design services will be required from BKF for these ramps.
II . SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
Upon receipt of a formal Notice to Proceed, BKF will prepare a project schedule in the form of a Gantt chart
typically associated with a Microsoft Project electronic file. BKF's Project Manager will mon itor the progress
of the project and provide updates to the City on a monthly basis. The updates to the City will be in the
form of an updated project schedule and a brief narrative of tasks started, in progress or completed during
the monthly period.

TASK 2: DESIGN
Lincoln Avenue Curb Ramps
City of San Rafael Public Works Department
April 26, 2018
Page 2 of 6
1. Preliminary Assessment and Existing Conditions Review: BKF will schedule a project kick-off
meeting with the City of San Rafael Public Works Department to visit the site and review existing
site constraints and conditions. We will conduct a preliminary assessment to analyze the project
area and note any potential challenges to design such as right-of-way constraints , surrounding
accessibility barriers, constructability concerns , and drainage.
2. Supplemental Data Collection: For a basis of the proposed improvements, it is assumed that BKF
will utilize prepared base mapping of the project area provided by the City. BKF will reach out to
utility companies that may have facilities within the project limits for as-built drawings, maps, and
schematics . Once received, BKF will incorporate the data along with record utility information
provided by the City of San Rafael (for water, sewer and storm drain) into the base mapping to
depict the record location of utilities superimposed onto the existing topographic survey. We will
also determine during this phase if any additional survey is needed to facilitate the design process.
BKF is not proposing to provide any delineation or determination of right-of-way lines with th is
Proposal. Only righ t -o f -way lines provided by the City, in AutoCAD format, fo r use on the project
drawings will be shown. All right of way engineering or land surveying services associated with
establishment, reestablishment, identification or delineation of any property lines is excluded from
the scope of services. It is anticipated that the work wi ll be contained within existing areas occupied
by public improvements or right-of-way lines and that no major environmental concerns exist.
Services to perform a formal environmental investigation or resolution of right-of way-conflicts is
not included in this scope of services ; however, BKF will notify City staff if these situations arise to
discuss the appropriate course of action .
3. 65% Improvement Drawings: Using the data collected during the previous Tasks, BKF will develop
drawings to the 6S% level of design. Sheets will be set up with the City approved title block in
anticipation of the final 8.S"x11" deliverables. The 6S% drawings will consist of presenting the
preliminary design concepts that will illustrate the limits of improvements. Preliminary conform and
critical grades will be establ ished and presented. BKF will provide the 6S% drawings in PDF format.
4. 100% Improvement Drawings: After City review of the 6S% drawings, BKF and the City will meet
to discuss the review comments . BKF will incorporate and address the City's comments in the 100 %
progress set of drawings . After discussing the comments, during this phase, the design will be
developed to include grades at all ramp geometry points, conform details, construct ion
alignments/improvement control lines, critical design slopes, design keynotes and relevant
construction details. The drawings will then undergo an internal quality control/quality assurance
review before delivery to the City. BKF will prepare a summary of 6S% review items and identify
how the comments were incorporated into the current progress drawing set. BKF will provide the
100% draw i ngs in PDF format.
S. Final Improvement Drawings (Bid Documents): After City review of the 100% draw ings , BKF and
the City w ill meet to d iscuss the review comments. BKF wi ll i ncorporate and address the City's
comments and develop a f i nal signed drawing set. The drawings will be printed on 8.S"x11 "
hardcopy sheets for delivery to the City. BKF w i ll prepare a summary of 100 % review items and
identify ho w the comment s were i ncorporated i nto the final drawing set. Additionally, BKF wi ll

provide the final drawings in PDF, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018, and a "saved down" AutoCAD format
compatible with Land Development Desktop.
6. Limited Traffic Signal Design at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Paloma Avenue: We
understand that the replacement of curb ramps at Paloma Avenue will require modifications to the
existing street light and traffic signal system including the installation of new traffic signal conduit,
pull boxes, and a controller cabinet with foundation (no new signal poles). BKF will coordinate with
utility companies and prepare design documentation showing the installation of new poles , pull
boxes and conduits as required by the proposed improvements. Improvements will be designed in
accordance with City of San Rafael standards for traffic signal design.
7. Schedule of Items and Quantities Estimate: Concurrently with the design Tasks described above,
BKF will develop a schedule of items that will identify items of work to be performed by the
contractor. The items will be developed in tabular form for use by the City in the ultimate bid
package. Additionally, BKF will prepare an engineer's opinion of quantities. The quantities will
include, but not be limited to, asphalt, base rock, concrete, conduits and earthwork.
8. Specifications Support: We understand that the City will provide a specifications booklet with
boilerplate specifications from a recently constructed project and the City does not anticipate major
changes to the sample specifications provided. BKF will provide quality control and comments to
the City for elements included in our scope of work and review the specifications for general
consistency with the Improvement Drawings. We anticipate that all work within the public right-of-
way will be designed in accordance with Caltrans and/or Marin County Uniform Construction
Standards . BKF has budgeted for up to sixteen (16) hours of combined staff time for this service.
9. Meetings: BKF has budgeted for up to twelve (12) hours of combined staff time to attend meetings
and participate in conference calls during this phase. Anticipated meetings include internal
coordination and City coordination.
TASK 3: CALTRANS ENCROACHMENT PERMIT (OPTIONAL)
We understand that the City anticipates that the curb ramps at the intersections of Lincoln Avenue with
Hammondale Court and Prospect Drive may require work within the Caltrans right-of-way which would
require a separate parallel application and review process outside of the City for an encroachment permit
from Caltrans. Should it be determined by the City that a Caltrans encroachment permit applications is
required, BKF will provide the following services:
1. Caltrans Encroachment Permit Application and Coordination: BKF will provide application
support to the City in order to submit the necessary documentation for application review and
permitting by Caltrans. BKF will coordinate with the City and Caltrans regarding the necessary
deliverables for agency approval.
2. Caltrans Right-of-Way Improvement Drawings: BKF will prepare a single set of stand-alone
Caltrans Right-of-Way Improvement Drawings formatted for an encroachment permit submittal to
the Caltrans Office of Encroachment Permits. BKF will also prepare Caltrans BMP "DPP-1" checklist
which is typically required by Caltrans to accompany encroachment permit submittals. Please note
that Caltrans typically requires that their right-of-way and adjoining property lines be determined ,
