Engineering services for City of Arroyo Grande Bioswale and Sidewalks Project Page 2 of 13
Kelly Wetmore, City Clerk
October 1, 2008
SCOPE OF WORKI UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED
Per the RFP, each project location will include a scope item for Base Plan Preparation,
Preliminary Design, Final Design, provision for meetings and will provide the required
deliverables. These items are detailed below.
Task 1-City Hall Parking Lot Bioswale /Drainage Filter
We understand some concept sketches have previously been prepared by a landscape
architect. We anticipate considering this information as well as previous
recommendations for a plant palette to use in the bioswale. We can provide additional
planting recommendations based on past projects. A competent bioswale will consider
receiving sheet flow runoff as well as point source runoff, maintaining an appropriate
This project consists of drainage improvements to include a new bioswale to provide
some remediation of hydrocarbons and other pollutants that would otherwise flow into
Arroyo Grande Creek. We understand that in addition to parking lot runoff, the project
may consider runoff from the City Hall Main Driveway access as well as possibly from
portions of East Branch Street.

Kelly Wetmore, City Clerk
October 1, 2008
First Segment
The first segment of this project consists of sidewalk improvements along the frontage of
four existing residential lots. Crown Hill Road is somewhat narrower at this location, so
street width and maintenance of bike lanes will be a consideration. Street parking is
already an issue. Because the driveways and front yards slope significantly toward the
structures, retaining walls and conformances on private property are anticipated. MNS
will sample soils and perform a maximum Density Test and Seive Analysis for use in
calculating the footing requirements. At this point a traditional reinforced concrete block
(or slump stone) retaining wall is assumed.
ADA compliance is the goal, however if there are locations that cannot fully meet ADA
requirements, such as at the driveways, efforts to comply must be documented and the
best design practices employed.
The RFP does not mention assisting the City with obtaining Rights-of-Entry or
Construction Easement, so we do not propose those services at this time, however we
are fully capable to assist the City in preparing these documents and contacting property
owners if desired. We will provide notices to the residences prior to survey, and provide
a point of contact for them to ask questions or give input. We will assign someone to
this task that has public agency experience and will handle the public in a sensitive way,
referring appropriate questions back to the City.
Conformance issues will be addressed, including private driveways, utility meters,
irrigation systems, plants & planters and sod. We can address these as a contractor
responsibility or private responsibility as directed by the City.
Task 2 -Crown Hill (Paulding Middle School) Sidewalks
Second Segment
The second segment includes pedestrian improvements between the existing easterly
school driveway and sidewalk and Corbett Canyon Road (Highway 227). We
understand that although traditional sidewalk is being considered, a pedestrian path on
the existing AC, separated by a berm, is also under consideration. We believe either is
feasible.
This project may also consider crosswalk geometry in the intersection, considering
existing stop signs and traffic patterns. The intent is to complete the east-west
pedestrian movement along Crown Hill /Huasna Roads to the school.
Again, ADA compliance is the goal, however if there are locations that cannot fully meet
ADA requirements, such as at the driveways, efforts to comply must be documented and
the best design practices employed.
Task 2.1 Base Plan Preparation:
A. We propose to perform a ground survey to obtain details and topographic
information necessary to design curb, gutter, sidewalk, or pedestrian paths,
crosswalks and appurtenances. We intend to mark USA prior to survey in order
to pick up utilities within the project limits. We do anticipate a need to identify
property and right-of-way boundaries at this project site, as work will occur along
the boundary, and in the case of conforms, across the boundary.
B. Additionally we will research utility atlases to assure we have as much info as
possible. We do not anticipate a need to pothole utilities at this time.
C. We will prepare a Base map that, if appropriate, will include the City aerial maps
to be provided by the City of Arroyo Grande.
Task 2.2 Preliminary Design:

Task 3 -Elm Street Sidewalks
The Elm Street sidewalk includes pedestrian improvements beginning on the NE corner
of the intersection with Ashe Street, and extending southerly to the limits shown above.
An ADA compliant curb ramp will be designed on the NE and SE corners of the
intersection and the sidewalk extended southerly to match existing sidewalk.
This project will maintain crosswalks in the intersection, consider existing stop signs.
The intent is to complete the north-south pedestrian movement along Elm Street.
Because the existing driveway and front yard slopes significantly upward toward the
structures, retaining walls and conformances on private property are anticipated.
Conformance issues will be addressed, including private driveways, utility meters,
irrigation systems, plants & planters and sod. We can address these as a contractor
responsibility or private responsibility as directed by the City.
ADA compliance is the goal, however if there are locations that cannot fully meet ADA

Task 4- Montego Street /Hilicrest Drive Intersection Improvements
This project will provide crosswalks in the intersection, consider existing stop signs.
The: intent is to complete the north-south pedestrian movement along Hillcrest Drive to
Newport Ave. and Montego Street.
Conformances on private property are anticipated. Conformance issues will be
addressed, including private driveways, utility meters, irrigation systems, plants &

Attn: Councilman Chuck Fellows
12E: Preservation of Eucalyptus
Dear City Council Members
A successful urban forest depends on diversity of tree species and sizes, including street
trees, park trees and skyline trees. The eucalyptus trees in question for removal are
skyline trees and should be valued for this feature. These skyline trees enrich the urban
forest by softening distant views, creating visual interest and providing habitat.
These aze the right trees in the right place. Trees of this type and stature are not
appropriate everywhere. They often require lazge open space azeas away from the public
which can be difficult to find in an urban environment. Also these trees can take years to
grow to take on the role of a skyline tree. That is why it is important that we retain
skyline trees when they occur in appropriate locations, such as these trees. These
eucalyptus aze in a natural creek comdor away from public activities and circulation.
Please reconsider the appropriateness of these trees, their role as part of the urban forest
and the necessity for removal.
Thank you,
Scott Dowlan
Landscape Architect
