CC 2013-01-08_08.g. Agreement for Design of Montego Street SidewalksMEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
BY:
TERESA McCLISH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
MIKE LINN, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEERfi..-
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH EIKHOF DESIGN
GROUP, INC. TO DESIGN THE MONTEGO STREET NORTH
SIDEWALK, PHASE II PROJECT
DATE: JANUARY 8, 2013
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. Approve a modified consultant services agreement with Eikhof Design Group,
Inc. in the amount of $8,580 for the Montego Street Sidewalk, Phase II Project;
and
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement with Eikhof Design Group, Inc.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In 2008, the City was successful in securing $259,000 of Federal Safe Route to School
(SRTS) grant funds for 100% of the project costs. There is no requirement for a local
match. The funds were programmed for FFY 2011-12 which requires the City to meet a
delivery deadline of September 30, 2012, which is the end of the federal fiscal year.
Since this project did not meet the delivery milestone deadline, the project has been
flagged by Caltrans, who administers the funds, and the City will not be able to apply for
any new Safe Routes to School projects until the flag is removed with a project
authorization approval.
At this time, Caltrans has informed the City that when a new SRTS call for projects is
announced, which is anticipated for Spring 2013, unused funds on projects such as this
one may lose their funding in order to fund new projects that can make delivery
milestone deadlines. Caltrans also noted that since the delivery milestone deadline has
passed, there are no absolute guarantees with the availability of federal funding.
Therefore, Caltrans recommends the City move ahead as quickly as possible while
project is still on the flagged list.

CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH EIKHOF DESIGN GROUP, INC. TO
DESIGN THE MONTEGO STREET NORTH SIDEWALK, PHASE II PROJECT
JANUARY 8, 2013

BACKGROUND:
The City has been awarded federal grant funds as part of the Safe Routes to School
Program to construct sidewalks on both sides of Montego Street, between Hillcrest
Drive and the cul-de-sac adjacent to Ocean View Elementary School. Phase I of the
project, constructing sidewalks on the south side of Montego Street, was designed and
administered by a local consultant, the Wallace Group, in the late 1990's. The project
was difficult as the existing houses had been constructed on hillsides at a lower
elevation than the Montego Street roadway. Since the new sidewalks required a level
surface, it required additional fill in many areas and effectively shortened the driveway
length between the back of the new sidewalk and the homes. Although the project was
considered a success, several of the homeowners were dissatisfied with the resultant
steepness of the new driveway grades.
In the mid-2000's, a number of Ocean View Elementary School parents that lived in the
neighborhoods west of the Hillcrest Avenue and Montego Road intersection stated that
the schoolchildren were walking unprotected along Hillcrest Drive, which is a narrow
roadway without sidewalks, and were forced to cross Hillcrest Drive unprotected to
access Montego Street to the west. A local' citizen's group worked with City forces to
clear brush and debris on the west side of Hillcrest Drive, between Sierra Drive and
Montego Street, and regraded the roadway shoulder to construct a walking pathway. In
2009, the City subsequently designed and constructed crosswalks, stop assemblies and
ADA ramps at the Hillcrest Drive and Montego Street intersection to enable the
schoolchildren to safely cross Hillcrest Drive to access the sidewalks on the south side
of Montego Street.
Since the completion of Phase I of the project, sidewalks on the south side of Montego
Street, in 1999, the City worked to obtain grant funding for Phase II of the project,
sidewalks on the north side of Montego Street. In 2008, the City was finally successful
in securing this funding. Unlike the homes on the south side of the roadway, the homes
on the north side are constructed on hillsides at a higher elevation than the roadway
and the setbacks are in close proximity with the curb. Conventional sidewalk
construction not only may require the construction of retaining walls to support the
foundation of some of the homes, but may also require the reconstruction of their
driveways to steep grades that would exceed accepted engineering standards.
Although grant money is available to perform the Phase II project, staff delayed
proceeding with design of the project required modifications (retaining walls, driveway
reconstruction, etc.) as they may prove to be prohibitively expensive, requiring a large
expenditure of City funds in excess of the grant money that may be received. To
address these concerns, staff contracted with the Wallace Group, the same consulting
firm that designed the Phase I project, to perform a feasibility analysis of constructing
sidewalks along the north side of Montego Street.

On July 2, 2012, staff presented the Traffic Commission with the completed Wallace
Group Sidewalk Construction Feasibility Study (see Attachment No. 1). The study
provides a number of creative recommendations that addresses staff concerns that
could be constructed within the available budget. Staff mailed public notifications to
Montego Street residents and property owners, many .of whom attended and spoke of
their concerns at the meeting. The Traffic Commission listened to the presentation,
accepted public comment, and advised staff to move forward with the development of a
request for proposal to solicit design firms (see Attachment No. 2).
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
On November 5, 2012, staff received two proposals from qualified engineering firms.
On November 16, 2012, a City evaluation team evaluated each firm with preselected
criteria and selected the Eikhof Design Group.
Some of the Montego Street property owners have expressed concerns about the
potential loss of parking in front of their properties due to the sidewalk installations. The
Wallace Group Sidewalk Construction Feasibility Study provides several alternatives,
but until the consultant has performed a topographic survey, it is difficult to determine
whether the sidewalk must encroach into the parking lane. In the event that the
residents/owners of the properties oppose the proposed construction, the City may elect
not to construct the project. However, the grant will not allow reimbursement of funds to
the local agency unless the project proceeds to construction and the City may be
obligated to pay the design costs.
Staff believes that a prudent course of action would be to modify the contract to include
only the performance of the topographic survey followed by an engineering review of
the specific properties in question. This would enable staff to present the feasible
options to the property owners/residents and minimize costs to the City if the Council
elects not to proceed. Based on the response received, staff would then present the
information to the City Council to consider whether the project should proceed into the
formal design phase. Staff has discussed this scenario with the Eikhof Design Group,
Inc. and they are in agreement with the approach. The estimated fee for the Eikhof
Design Group, Inc. contract is composed of six tasks totaling $17,960, to be performed
on time and materials basis in accordance with their submitted pricing schedule. The
modified fee would involve solely Task Nos. 1 through 3 and is estimated at $8,580.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
Approve the modified consultant services agreement in the amount of $8,580
with Eikhof Design Group, Inc. to perform a topographic survey and
preliminary design concepts with an option to proceed with the formal project
design upon satisfactory presentation to neighborhood owners/residents;

Approve the entire consultant services agreement in the amount of $17,960 with
Eikhof Design Group, Inc. perform the design of the Montego Street North
Sidewalk, Phase II Project;
Do not proceed and decline the contract;
Do not approve the agreement; and
Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The selected consultant has a proven track record in the design and construction of
engineering projects and has the ability to perform the project design in a timely manner
to enable construction of the project during the Lucia Mar school hiatus. The Sidewalk
Construction Feasibility Study provides acceptable options that can be constructed
within the available budget and have been successfully constructed in other locations.
The proposed process enables the City to maintain eligibility for over $250,000 to
improve pedestrian safety for elementary school children, while minimizing the risk to
the City to a cost of less than $9,000.
DISADVANTAGES:
There may be impacts on existing properties given the grade and short driveways. Until
the consultant has performed a topographic survey, it is difficult to determine whether
the sidewalk must encroach into the parking lane at selected residences. In the event
that the residents/owners of the properties are against the proposed ·construction, the
City may elect not to perform the project. The. grant will not allow reimbursement of
funds to the local agency unless the project proceeds to construction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (c).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Thursday, January 3, 2013. The
Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, January 4, 2013. No
public comments were received. Staff mailed a public notification for the Council
meeting to Montego Street residents and property owners on Friday, December 21,
2012 (see Attachment No. 3).

MONTEGO STREET, ARROYO GRANDE, CA
FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS-NORTH SIDE
SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION FEASIBILITY STUDY
March 29, 2012
Summary
Attachment No. 1
There were seven parcels along the north side of Montego Street that were identified as
needing certain frontage improvements to install a sidewalk. These were:
1. 1250 Montego Street
2. 1238 Montego Street
3. 1234 Montego Street
4. 1230 Montego Street
5. 1226 Montego Street
6. 1210 Montego Street
7. 1202 Montego Street
Two parcels have driveway conformance issues: 1234 and 1226 Montego Street, and possibly
1230 Montego Street. It is inconceivable that these driveways and driveway aprons could be
reconstructed to meet current ADA accessibility standards without an innovative street design
change, such as extending the driveway approach within the street right of way (parking lane).
Three parcels (1234, 1230 and 1226 Montego Street) will require retaining walls of
approximately 3 feet in height along their frontages.
Two of the parcels (1234 and 1226 Montego Street) will require modifications to their existing
(concrete steps) access from the sidewalk to the house.
Two street light poles (at 1234 and 1210 Montego Street) will need to be either moved or the
sidewalk will need to be widened at their location to provide a minimum 4 feet of sidewalk
around them.
One parcel (1230 Montego Street) will require the removal of a large palm tree.
The following is a summary of various alternatives that can be implemented to install the
improvements at each of the seven parcels.
Funding
As right of way and utility relocation, which can require long lead times, may be involved with
some of the preferred alternatives, it is imperative that preliminary engineering work begin
immediately should the City choose to proceed with the project due to the following.
Per Caltrans comments on 03/28/12, the City will obtain a red-flag on the $259,000 of 100%
federal grant funding if it has not submitted a Request for Authorization (RFA) to Proceed with
Construction to Caltrans and receive approval by 09/30/12. However, the money will not be
pulled from the City until the next call for SRTS projects which will be in the Fall of 2013. So
essentially this gives the City an additional year to submit and obtain approval of its RFA. This
means the following must be accomplished between now and 07/15/13:
environmental determination
right of way acquisition
utility relocation agreements
plans, specifications & estimates
full funding for the project
Item 8.h. - Page 5
1250 Montego Street
Currently this corner parcel at the intersection of Montego Street and Newport Avenue has a 4
foot sidewalk along its frontage . Improvement will be the construction of an ADA accessible
ramp .
Item 8.h. - Page 6
1238 Montego Street
Since the grant application was prepared , a rock veneered concrete block retaining wall has
been constructed replacing the wood retaining wall at the back of the existing sidewalk . No
improvements appear necessary .
Item 8.h. - Page 7
1234 Montego Street
There are no easy solutions to solving the problems of getting a workable sidewalk along the
frontage of this parcel.
• The dr i veway apron does not conform to accessibility . There is a steep driveway that
matches up against the edge of a steep driveway apron .
o One possible solution is to leave the driveway and driveway apron as is and transition
the new sidewalk to them . It would need to be determined if this would be in violation of
current accessibility requirements .
o Another possible solution is to reconstruct the driveway and construct a driveway apron
and conforming sidewalk into the street right-of-way . This would create a peninsula into
the parking lane (see below 4 examples of El Portal in Shell Beach).
Item 8.h. - Page 8
• There exists a streetl i ght pole at the west property line that requires either relocation , a
widened sidewalk section behind the pole , or a sidewalk in front of the pole to allow for a 4
foot wide access .
o One option is to build a sidewalk in front of the pole in a peninsula in the street right-of-
way shared with the above mentioned driveway apron .
o Another option is to build a widened sidewalk section and (reinforced block) retaining
wall behind the pole . This would require right of way acquisition .
o Another option is to relocate the pole which may require (PG&E) utility company
involvement if the pole i s not owned by the City . This would require right of way
acquisition if a public utility easement is not present.
• Along the frontage of the parcel a 4 foot wide sidewalk can be constructed behind the
existing curb . A retaining wall (approximately 2 .5 ' to 3 ') would need to be constructed at the
back of the walk which would affect the existing stairway .
o One option is to construct a landing along the existing stairway down from the residence ,
turning the steps parallel w ith the street to connecting to the drive w ay (to provide access
to the sidewalk (see example below). This would require approval from the property
owner .
Item 8.h. - Page 9
1230 Montego Street
Construction of a 4 foot wide sidewalk along this frontage will require :
• Construction of a 2 .5 ' to 3 ' retaining wall .
• Removal of a (palm) tree .
-
The driveway apron may not conform to accessibility .
• One possible solution is to leave the driveway and driveway apron as is and transition the
new sidewalk to them . It would need to be determined if this would be in violation of current
accessibility requirements .
• If reconstruction of the driveway , dr i veway apron and conforming sidewalk is required and
additional transition length is needed , they could be constructed in the street right-of -way as
presented for 1234 Montego Street above .
Item 8.h. - Page 10
1226 Montego Street
Construction of a 4 foot wide sidewalk along this frontage will require :
• Removal of ex i st i ng rock slope .
• Construct i on of an approx i mate 3 .5 ' retain i ng wa ll (on each s i de of the dr i veway and
staircase ).
• Construct i on of a landing at the back of the retaining wall for access to the existing concrete
steps to the house .
• Construction of new concrete steps down to the proposed sidewalk .
The dr i veway apron may not conform to access i b i lity .
• One possible solution is to leave the driveway and dr i veway apron as i s and transition the
new sidewalk to them . It would need to be determined if this would be in violation of current
accessibility requirements .
• If reconstruction of the driveway , dr i veway apron and conforming s i dewalk is required and
add i t i onal trans i t i on length is needed , they could be constructed in the street r i ght -of -way as
presented for 1234 Montego Street above .
Item 8.h. - Page 11
1210 Montego Street
This property is a vacant parcel. The current owner has not submitted any application to build
to date . Construction of a 4 foot wide sidewalk along this frontage will require (without parcel
improvements):
• Construction of a 2 :1 max . slope bank along the parcel frontage and behind the proposed
sidewalk . This would require approval from the property owner.
• There exists a streetlight pole at the east property line that requires either relocation , a
widened sidewalk section behind the pole , or a sidewalk in front of the pole to allow for a 4
foot wide access .
o One option is to build a sidewalk in front of the pole in a peninsula in the street right -of -
way .
o Another option is to build a widened sidewalk section and (reinforced block) retaining
wall behind the pole . This would require right of way acquisition .
o Another option is to relocate the pole which may require (PG&E) utility company
invol v ement if the pole is not owned by the City . This would require right of way
acquisition i f a public utility easement is not present.

MEETING NOTICE
Attachment No. 3
On TUESDAY. JANUARY 8, 2013 the Arroyo Grande City Council will conduct a public hearing
at 6:00 P.M. in the COUNCIL CHAMBERS at 215 EAST BRANCH STREET to consider the
following:
REVIEW OF PROPOSED CAPITAL PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT INFILL SIDEWALK
SEGMENTS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF MONTEGO STREET BETWEEN HILLCREST
DRIVE AND THE CUL-DE-SAC ADJACENT TO OCEAN VIEW ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL
The City of Arroyo Grande constructed an infill sidewalk project in the late 1990's on the south
side of Montego Street, between Hillcrest Drive and the cul-de-sac adjacent to the Ocean View
Elementary School. Government grant money is available to construct a similar project on the
north side of Montego Street. There are unique constraints with the construction, due mostly to
the siting of the existing residences, that may require construction of sidewalk segments to
"bulb-out" into the street to ensure a reasonable driveway grade for 1234, 1230 and 1226
Montego Street. The City Council will accept public comment on this issue at the January 8,
2013, meeting.
Staff project reports are posted on line at www.arroyogrande.org 72 hours prior to the meeting.
Please feel free to contact Michael Linn, Assistant City Engineer, at (805) 473-5444 or stop by the
City of Arroyo Grande Engineering Office at 300 East Branch Street, Arroyo Grande.

SCOPE OF WORK
Item 8.h. - Page 25
Scope of Services
Task 1 (N9tice to Proceed and Kickoff Meeting)
Eikhof Design Group will work closely with City Staff to ensure that all contract documents are signed
and approved prior to issuance of the notice to proceed. We anticipate having a Kick-off meeting with
the City Project Manager at the time the Notice to Proceed is issued. At this meeting Eikhof Design
Group will receive copies of all preliminary work and feasibility studies completed for.this project:
In the review of the site we observed that school staff and visitors use Montego Street for parking. This
was further confirmed by public comment during the Traffic Commission Meeting on July 2, 2012.
Several residents expressed concern regarding the loss of parking spaces due to this project: Eikhof
Design group will discuss the various options with the City, and will incorporate Staff's corrymen~~.into
the project design.
Task 2 (Surveying)
Montego Street from Hillcrest Drive to the cul-de-sac will be surveyed. The survey will include en':>ugh
topographic data to address the construction of bulb-outs, transitions between the existing'drive·ways
and new constructi~n, drainage, and any utility conflicts. The survey work will be perform~d by ka~p
Land Surveys. A boundary survey is not anticipated, since all work will be constructed within the City
right-of-way.
Task 3 (Preliminary Design-50% Complete)
Using the topographic information, Eikhof Design Group will prepare exhibits showing various
alignments and options. In review of the project site, there are several locations along the north side of
Montego Street that need to be addressed. It appears that all of the driveway approaches exceed the
requirecif=ross-slope for ADA compliance, and point obstructions occur at mailboxes and utility poles.
Additionally; there are segments where no sidewalk currently exists. The segments are from 1234
Montego to 1222 Montego, from 1214 Montego to 1206 Montego, and in front of 1202 Montego. The
options will show the potential bulb-out locations and new sidewalks.
As all work is anticipated to be completed in the existing right-of-way, no geotechnical investigation is
anticipated for the construction of new sidewalks. If it 'is determined that geotechnical work is
necessary due to design of retaining walls or other geotechnical challenges, Eikhof Design Group will
subcontract with Midcoast Geotechnical for this work.
Elkhof Design Group will prepare preliminary engineer's estimates for all of the various options. We will
then schedule a meeting with City Staff to review the various options. Staff wili then be given time to
review the various options and decide a final design option. This will be considered the SO% Design
Stage.
Task 4 (Design -95% Complete)
As soon as the final design option has been determined by City Staff and. Eikhof Design Group, we will
prepare the final design plans, specifications, and estimates for the work. Based upon the project
budget, various additive alternates can be prepared: to maximize the work completed under the
approved budget. Upon completion of the final design, Eikhof Design Group will meet with the City to
review to final documents. The City will then have time to review the final documents.
·Eikhof Design Group will provide Construction Support as needed during construction. This support may
include responding to RFI's, redesigning as necessary based upon conflicts in the field, and consultation.
Eikhof Design Group will also prepare record drawings at the completion of the project.
Task 5 (Construction Documents -100% Complete)
Upon completion of the final staff review, Eikhof Design Group will incorporate any staff comments into
the construction documents. T~e completed construction documents, including plans, specifications,
estimate, and bid schedule will be submitted to the City for bidding.
Task 6 (Bidding and Construction Support)
Eikhof Design Group will provide bidding and construction support on an "as needed" basis. The work
may include review of submittals, response to RFI's, redesign to resolve conflicts based on field
conditions •. consultation, and the preparation of record drawings.

General conditions pertaining to prov1s1on: of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general
liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials
employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition
prior to 1992. Consultant also agrees to require all Consultants, and subContractors to
do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement
shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of
subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City
regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all Consultants
and subContractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Consultant and available or
applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its
operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first
submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve
to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily
injury to an employee of the insured or of any Consultant or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification
and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make
any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction
of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional
insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at
or prior to the execution of this Agreement. 111 the event such proof of any insurance is
not delivered as required, or in the event sucl:l insurance is canceled at any time and no

insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement
and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly
paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.
Item 8.h. - Page 31
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to
City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify
such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to
mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will
"endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the
certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance
coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subContractor, is intended to
apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or
self insurance available to City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subContractors, and any other party
involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant,
provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant
agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for
ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this
section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subContractors and
others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions
or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it
will not allow any Consultant, subContractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or
person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by
this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage
includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention

Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured
retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety
(90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increase benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps
that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Consultant of non-cqmpliance with any insurance requirements
in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder in this or any other regard.
Item 8.h. - Page 32
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or
its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or
terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City
executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein
expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other
policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been
ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from
Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance
and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to
the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration
of the coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use
any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees,
officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this
section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as
a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a
given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue,
and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct
from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and
provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts
with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by
any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or
Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement.
Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall
be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect
thereto.
22. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City
assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to

CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE
MONTEGO STREET SIDEWALKS
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
I. PROPOSAL INTENT
The City of Arroyo Grande, California intends to contract for an engineering firm to
perform design and construction support services for the construction of infill sidewalk
segments on the north side of Montego Street, beginning at Hillcrest Drive to the
termination of the street at the cul-de-sac bulb approximately 400 feet to the east.
II. BACKGROUND
The City of Arroyo Grande has been successful in securing Federal Safe Routes to
School (SRTS) funding for the Montego Street Sidewalks project. The project was
intended to be performed in two separate phases. Construction of the first phase was
accomplished in the late 1990's. The north side of Montego Street has existing homes
built on a hillside in close proximity to the roadway. The City performed a feasibility
analysis and concluded that there is adequate width to "bulb-out" portions of the
sidewalk segments and driveway approaches within the parking lane to lessen the
driveway grades and avoid the construction of retaining walls.
Ill. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The design contract includes, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
o Topographic Survey
o Geotechnicallnvestigation
o Design Plans
o Technical Specifications
o Engineer's Cost Estimate
City staff will perform all contract administration for the project including; incorporation of
Technical Specifications into the project specifications, bidding, inspection, and
construction management. However, the City desires the consultant engineer to perform
the following during the construction phase of the project:
o Construction Support (as assigned)
• Response to RFis
• Redesign to resolve conflicts based on field conditions
• Consultation
o Preparation of record drawings
Due to the proximity of the Ocean View Elementary School at the east end of the
Montego Street cul-de-sac, the City desires to construct the project when the school is
not in session, between mid-June and mid-August 2013.
The City has established a DBE goal for this Agreement of 3.0%.

C. Submission of DBE Information
If there is a DBE goal on the contract, a "Local Agency Proposer DBE
Commitment (Consultant Contract)" (Exhibit 10-01) form shall be included in the
Request for Proposal. In order for a proposer to be considered responsible and
responsive, the proposer must make good faith efforts to meet the goal
established for the contract. If the. goal is not met, the proposer must document
adequate good faith efforts. All DBE participation will be counted towards the
contract goal, and all DBE participation shall be collected and reported.
A "Local Agency Proposer DBE lr:1formation (Consultant Contract)" (Exhibit 10-
02) form shall be included with the Request for Proposal. The purpose of the
form is to collect data required uhder 49 CFR 26. This form collects all DBE
participation. Even if no DBE participation will be reported, the successful
proposer must execute and return the form.
D. DBE Participation General Information
It is the proposer's responsibility to be fully informed regarding the requirements
of 49 CFR, Part 26, and the Department's DBE program developed pursuant to
the regulations. Particular attention is directed to the following:
1. A DBE must be a small business firm defined pursuant to 13 CFR 121 and be
certified through the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP).
2. A certified DBE may participate as a prime contractor, subcontractor, joint
venture partner, as a vendo~ of material or supplies, or as a trucking
company.
3. A DBE proposer not proposing as a joint venture with a non-DBE, will be
required to document one or a combination of the following:
a. The proposer is a DBE and will meet the goal by performing work with its
own forces.
b. The proposer will meet the goal through work performed by DBE
subcontractors, suppliers or trucking companies.
c. The proposer, prior to proposing, made adequate good faith efforts to
meet the goal.
4. A DBE joint venture partner must be responsible for specific contract items of
work or clearly defined portions thereof. Responsibility means actually
performing, managing, and supervising the work with its own forces. The
DBE joint venture partner must share in the capital contribution, control,
management, risks and profits of the joint venture commensurate with its
ownership interest.
5. A DBE must perform a commercially useful function pursuant to 49 CFR
26.55, that is, a DBE firm must be responsible for the execution of a distinct

2. Access the CUCP database from the Department of Transportation, Civil
Rights, Business Enterprise Program web site at:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/bep/.

• Click on Search for a DBE Firm link
• Click on Access to the DBE Query Form located on the first line in the
center of the page
• Searches can be performed by one or more criteria
• Follow instructions on the screen
3. How to Obtain a List of Certified DBEs without Internet Access:
DBE Directory -If you do not have Internet access, Caltrans also publishes a
directory of certified DBE firms extracted from the online database. A copy of
the directory of certified DBEs may be ordered from the Caltrans Publications
Unit at (916) 263-0822, 1900 Royal Oaks Drive, Sacramento, CA 95815-
3800.
F. Materials or Supplies Purchased From DBEs Count Towards the DBE Goal
Under the Following Conditions:
1. If the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer, count 100
percent of the cost of the materials or supplies. A DBE manufacturer is a firm
that operates or maintains a factory, or establishment that produces on the
premises the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the
Agreement and of the general character described by the specifications.
2. If the materials or supplies purchased from a DBE regular dealer, count 60
percent of the cost of the materials or supplies. A DBE regular dealer is a firm
that owns, operates or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment
in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general
Page 5 of6
Item 8.h. - Page 40
character described by the specifications and required under the Agreement
are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the
usual course of business. To be a DBE regular dealer, the firm must be an
established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and
under its own name, in the pl;lrchase and sale or lease of the products in
question. A person may be a DBE regular dealer in such bulk items as
petroleum products, steel, cement, gravel, stone or asphalt without owning,
operating or maintaining a place of business provided in this section.
3. If the person both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products,
any supplementing of regular dealers' own distribution equipment shall be, by
a long-term lease agreement and not an ad hoc or Agreement-by-Agreement
basis. Packagers, brokers, manufacturers' representatives, or other persons
who arrange or expedite transactions are not DBE regular dealers within the
meaning of this section.
4. Materials or supplies purchased from a DBE, which is neither a manufacturer
nor a regular dealer, will be limited to the entire amount of fees or
commissions charged for assistance in the procurement of the materials and
supplies, or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of materials or
supplies required on the job site, provided the fees are reasonable and not
excessive as compared with fees charged for similar services.
G. For DBE Trucking Companies: Credit For DBEs Will Count Towards the
DBE Goal Under the Following Conditions:
1. The DBE must be responsible for the management and supervision of the
entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on a particular Agreement,
and there cannot be a contrived arrangement for the purpose of meeting the
DBE goal.
2. The DBE must itself own and operate at least one fully licensed, insured, and
operational truck used on the Agreement.
3. The DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services it
provides on the Agreement using trucks it owns, insures, and operates using
drivers it employs.
4. The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm including an owner-
operator who is certified as a DBE. A DBE who leases trucks from another
DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the
lessee DBE provides on the Agreement.
5. For the purposes of this Section 4, a lease must indicate that the DBE has
exclusive use and control over the truck. This does not preclude the leased
truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of
the DBE, as long as the lease gives the DBE absolute priority for use of the
leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number
of the DBE.

FEDERAL-AID PROVISIONS FOR CONSULTANT CONTRACTS
1. STANDARD AGREEMENT FOR SUBCONTRACTOR/DBE PARTICIPATION
A. Subcontractors
1. Nothing contained in this Agreement or otherwise, shall create any contractual
relation between the Agency and any subcontractors, and no subcontract shall
relieve the Contractor of his/her responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The
Contractor agrees to be as fully responsible to the Agency for the acts and omissions
of its subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of
them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the
Contractor. The Contractor's obligation to pay its subcontractors is an independent
obligation from the Agency's obligation to make payments to the Contractor.
2. Any subcontract in excess of $25,000, entered into as a result of this Agreement,
shall contain all the provisions stipulated in this Agreement to be applicable to
subcontractors.
3. Contractor shall pay its subcontractors within ten (1 0) calendar days from receipt of
each payment made to the Contractor by the Agency.
4. Any substitution of subcontractors must be approved in writing by the Agency's
Contract Manager in advance of assigning work to a substitute subcontractor.
B. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Participation
1. This Agreement is subject to 49 CFR, Part 26 entitled "Participation by
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial
Assistance Programs." Proposers who obtain DBE participation on this contract will
assist Caltrans in meeting its federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal.
2. If the contract has a DBE goal, the Consultant must meet the DBE goal by
committing DBE participation or document a good faith effort to meet the goal. If a
DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, the Consultant must make a good faith
effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise
met.
3. DBEs and other small businesses, as defined in 49 CFR, Part 26 are encouraged to
participate in the performance of agreements financed in whole or in part with federal
funds. The Consultant or· subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this Agreement. The Consultant
shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26 in the award and
administration of US DOT-assisted agreements. Failure by the Consultant to carry
out these requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in
the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy as the local agency deems
appropriate.
Exhibit D
Page 1 of 9 Item 8.h. - Page 50
4. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this Agreement shall contain all of the
provisions of this section.
C. Performance of DBE Consultant and other DBE Subconsultants/Suppliers
1. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution
of the work of the Agreement and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually
performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a
commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible with respect to
materials and supplies used on the Agreement, for negotiating price, determining
quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and
paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a
commercially useful function, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry
practices; whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the Agreement is
commensurate with the work it is actually performing; and other relevant factors.
2. A DBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of
an extra participant in a transaction, Agreement, or project through which funds are
passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining
whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly
those in which DBEs do not participate.
3. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the
total cost of its Agreement with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater
portion of the work of the Agreement than would be expected on the basis of normal
industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not
performing a commercially useful function.
D. Prompt Payment of Funds Withheld to Subcontractors
1. The Agency shall hold retainage from the prime consultant and shall make prompt
and regular incremental acceptances of portions, as determined by the Agency, of
the contract work, and pay retainage to the prime contractor based on these
acceptances. The prime consultant, or subconsultant, shall return all monies
withheld in retention from a subconsultant within 30 days after receiving payment for
work satisfactorily completed and accepted including incremental acceptances of
portions of the contract work by the agency. Federal law (49 CFR26.29) requires
that any delay or postponement of payment over 30 days may take place only for
good cause and with the agency's prior written approval. Any violation of this
provision shall subject the violating prime consultant or subconsultant to the
penalties, sanctions and other remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the Business
and Professions Code. These requirements shall not be construed to limit or impair
any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies, otherwise available to the prime

RE: RFP for Montego Street North Sidewalk Project
Dear Teresa:
It is a pleasure to submit this proposal for the Montego Street North Sidewalk Project. This project is
exactly the type of project that Eikhof Design Group was created for. I created Eikhof Design Group in
2007 to assist local agencies with their engineering challenges. After spending eight years in the public
sector, as an Associate Civil Engineer with the City of San Luis Obispo and as the Deputy Director of
Public Works for the City of Atascadero, I determined that there was a very strong need for a small
consulting firm that specialized primarily in public works projects. A firm with experience on "both sides
of the counter", that could produce very high quality projects at a fair price with very little staff
oversight.
Over the years I have had the privilege of working with several agencies on the Central Coast, and have
worked very closely with the City of Arroyo Grande's new Director of Maintenance Services, Geoff
English. Geoff and I have had a very close working relationship for the past 11 years. While serving as
the Deputy Director of Public Works, he referred to me as his "go to guy'', for engineering design and
consultation. Geoff can attest that I am very highly skilled in all aspects of public works projects and
extremely responsive.
I look forward to working with you soon. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to
discuss this further. I can be reached at 805-952-5303 or by e-mail at jeff@eikhofdesigngroup.com.

Company Information
Eikhof Design Group Inc. was incorporated in 2007 to provide engineering design and consulting services
to local agencies. At the beginning of the economic downturn, founder and President Jeff van den
Eikhof joined Pavement Engineering Inc. as a principal engineer. During that p~riod Eikhof Design Group
only operated part-time on select projects for the City of Atascader(;. After spendi~g 4 years traveling
all over California providing engineering services for cities and counties, Jeff van den Eikhof determined
it was time to revived Eikhof Design Group. On July 1" of this year, Eikhof Design Group began offering
services full-time to local agencies.
During the 4 years providing engineering services for local agencies all over California, Jeff van den
Eikhof gained a tremendous wealth of knowledge on how various agencies approach their challenges.
He now brings all of that knowledge back to the Central Coast help agencies approve upon the ways
they do work.
Eikhof Design Group is a Small Business and meets the goals of federally funded projects to include small
businesses in project participation.
Consortium of local·lndependent Consultants (CLIC)
In September 2012, Jeff van den Eikhof (Eikhof Design Group) and seven other local consultants created
the Consortium of Local Independent Consultants (CUC). cue is made up of independent consultants or
small firms (less than 5 employees) who are experts in their fields. The fields include civil engineering,
surveying, biology, land planning, structural engineering, construction management, inspection, and
other related disciplines. CUe's primary mission is to cross promote each other and collaborate on
projec.ts. for local agencies. Only independent consultants or small firms who are experts in their field
and we'll regar~ed in the local community are invited to join. The two subconsultants included in this
proposal are members of cue.
Project Description
The Montego Street Sidewalk Project includes design and construction support services for the
construction of infill sidewalk segments on the north side of Montego Street, beginning at Hillcrest Drive
to the termination of the street at the cul-de-sac. The City previously performed a feasibility study (by
Wallace Group) and determined that there is adequate area to bulb-out portions of the sidewalk
segments and driveway approaches within the parking lane to lessen' the driveway grades and avoid the
construction of retaining walls. The project is being funded using Federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
funding and has a 3% DBE requirement. This DBE requirement will be filled by Lenhardt Engineering, a
certified woman owned enterprise and UDBE. Surveying services will be provided by Karp Land Surveys.
Eikhof Design Group Page 2
Item 8.h. - Page 63
In preparation for this project, Eikhof Design Group reviewed the feasibility study prepared by Wallace
Group and presented to the Traffic Commission on July 2, 2012. The meeting minutes indicate that
several residents are concerned with the loss of parking due to bulb-outs. Our observations prior to
reading the meeting minutes were the same as the residents. It appears that school staff and visitors
use Montego Street for parking. It will be important to take these concerns into consideration when
designing any bulb-outs on.the street. Eikhof Design Group will work closely with City Staff to
adequately address the concerns of the citizens and balance the on-street parking with the safe
pedestrian route.
Scope of Services
Task 1 (Notice to Proceed and Kickoff Meeting)
Eikhof Design Group will work closely with City Staff to ensure that all contract documents are signed
and approved prior to issuance of the notice to proceed. We anticipate having a Kick-off meeting with
the City Project Manager at the time the Notice to Proceed is issued. At this meeting Eikhof Design
Group will receive copies of all preliminary work and feasibility studies completed for this project:
In the review of the site we observed that school staff and visitors use Montego Street for parking. This
was further confirmed by public comment during the Traffic Commission Meeting on July 2, 2012.
Several residents expressed concern regarding the loss of parking spaces due to this project. Eikhof . '
Design group will discuss the various options with the City, and will incorporate Staff's COIT!men~s_into
the project design.
Task 2 (Surveying)
Montego Street from Hillcrest Drive to the cul-de-sac will be surveyed. The survey will include enough
topographic data to address the construction of bulb-outs, transitions between the existing'driveways
. I '
and new construction, drainage, and any utility conflicts. The survey work will be performed by Karp
Land Surveys. A boundary survey is not anticipated, since all work will be constructed within the City
right-of-way.
Task 3 (Preliminary Design-50% Complete)
Using the topographic information, Eikhof Design Group will prepare exhibits showing various
alignments and options. In review of the project site, there are several locations along the north side of
Montego Street that need to be addressed. It appears that all of the driveway approaches exceed the
required ·cross-slope for ADA compliance, and point obstructions occur at mailboxes and utility poles.
Additionally; there are segments where no sidewalk currently exists. The segments are from 1234
Montego to 1222 Montego, from 1214 Montego to 1206 Montego, and in front of 1202 Montego. The
options will show the potential bulb-out locations and new sidewalks.
As all work is anticipated to be completed In the existing right-of-way, no geotechnical investigation is
anticipated for the construction of new sidewalks. If it is determined that geotechnical work is
Eikhof Design Group Page 3
Item 8.h. - Page 64
sign
necessary due to design of retaining walls or other geotechnical challenges, Eikhof Design Group will
subcontract with Midcoast Geotechnical for this work.
Eikhof Design Group will prepare preliminary engineer's estimates for all of the various options. We will
then schedule a meeting with City Staff to review the various options. Staff will then be given time to
review the various options and decide a final design option. This will be considered the 50% Design
Stage.
Task 4 (Design-95% Complete)
As soon as the final design option has been determined by City Staff and Eikhof Design Group, we will
prepare the final design plans, specifications, and estimates for the work. Based upon the project
budget, various additive alternates can be prepared to maximize the work completed under the
approved budget. Upon completion of the final design, Eikhof Design Group will meet with the City to
review to final documents. The City will then have time to review the final documents.
·Eikhof Design Group will provide Construction Support as needed during construction. This support may
include responding to RFI's, redesigning as necessary based upon conflicts in the field, and consultation.
Eikhof Design Group will also prepare record drawings at the completion of the project.
Task 5 (Construction Documents -100% Complete)
Upon completion of the final staff review, Eikhof Design Group will incorporate any staff comments into
the construction documents. The completed construction documents, including plans, specifications,
estimate, and bid schedule will be submitted to the City for bidding.
Task 6 (Bidding and Construction Support)
Eikhof Design Group will provide bidding and construction support on an "as needed" basis. The work
may include review of submittals, response to RFI's, redesign to resolve conflicts based on field
conditions, consultation, and the preparation of record drawings.
