Mr. Mark Biskup
City of Carlsbad
1635 Faraday Avenue
Carlsbad, California 92008
Subject: Proposal for the Evaluation of Pipeline Alignments for the
abandonment of the Villas and Vancouver Lift Station in Carlsbad
Dear Mr. Biskup:
Dudek is pleased to submit this scope of work and cost estimate for engineering and
environmental services associated with the proposed pipeline projects located in Carlsbad,
California.
The City is looking to abandon the existing Vancouver and Villas sewer lift stations by
extending gravity flow pipelines to newly developed areas within the vicinity of the existing
stations. The proposed project includes evaluating the construction feasibility and preliminary
alignment of the new pipelines. Each alignment crosses potentially sensitive environmental
lands. Therefore the project includes a biological survey and summary report. In addition, the
City is currently having operational challenges with the Villas Lift Station. Dudek will assist the
City in evaluating measures to improve operation of the station.
The proposed project study area includes two locations: I) north of the intersection of
Carlsbad Village Drive and Santa Clara Way and 2) between Tamarack Avenue and Carlsbad
Village Drive in Carlsbad, California. It is our understanding that the City of Carlsbad has
requested the following services: I) a pipeline alignment study for each location to allow for the
abandonment of the existing lift station, 2) a general biological reconnaissance survey, including
vegetation mapping; 3) preparation of a biological resources constraints analysis to identify
existing biological resources onsite, potential significant impacts associated with the proposed
project, potential avoidance and minimization measures, required environmental permitting and
appropriate mitigation measures for unavoidable impacts, as specified in the Guidelines for
Biological Studies (Technology Associates 2008); and 4) an operational evaluation and
recommendation for improving the performance of the Villas Lift Station. The scope of work
and cost estimate for these services is provided below.
WWW.DUDEK.COM
Mr. Mark Riskup
Re: Proposal for the Evaluation of Pipeline Alignments for the abandonment of the Villas and
Vancouver Lift. Station in Carlsbad, California
Task 1: Pipeline Alignment Study
Two new pipelines will be considered as part of this study.
I: Vancouver LS to Via de Canto
2: Villa LS north to the Simsbury LS
The new pipeline alignment from the Vancouver LS to Via de Canto will cross existing SDG&E
easement. Dudek will prepare a pipeline alignment study to confirm the optimum alignment
considering topography, existing features, limitations imposed by SDG&E and environmental
limitations that will be documented as part of Task 2 and 3 of this project. As part of the study,
Dudek will assist the City as requested with contacting and meeting with SDG&E. We
understand there is a buried fuel pipeline in the project vicinity that must be carefully addressed
in the evaluation of the alignment.
The new pipeline alignment from the Villas LS to the Simsbury LS will cross several parcels,
including the crossing either partially through or behind the Hope Elementary School property.
Similarly to above, the alignment will consider topography, existing features and environmental
limitations.
The alignment study will:
Briefly describe the background of the project
Define specific goals and critical success factors that must be met
May identify alternative alignments that confirm to the goals of the project
Identify potential utility, easement or right-of-way challenges
Determine the recommended alternative alignment for each pipeline through a decision matrix
Provides a planning level estimate of construction costs
Dudek will prepare and submit 5 copies of the pipeline alignment study.
Estimated Cost for Task / $10,900.00
Task 2: General Biological Reconnaissance Survey and Vegetation Mapping
Prior to conducting the survey, Dudek will review the California Natural Diversity Database in
order to identify sensitive species that are known to occur or may potentially occur within the
proposed project site. Dudek will conduct a general biological resources survey of the entire
project study area to create a baseline resources map displaying vegetation communities and
conspicuous sensitive species locations. Vegetation communities will be determined by Holland
(1986) nomenclature. Vegetation and species mapping will be performed in the field directly
onto 100- or 200-scale (I inch =100 feet or 200 feet) topographic or aerial photographic bases
and later digitized into a geographic information system (GIS) format using ArcGIS software.
During this field survey, a general inventory of all plant and animal species detected by sight,
calls, tracks, scat, or other signs will be compiled, as well as a determination of potential

Mr. Mark B/skup
Re: Proposal for the Evaluation of Pipeline Alignments for the abandonment of the Villas and
Vancouver Lift Station in Carlsbad, California
sensitive species which could occur on the project site. Observable sensitive resources
including perennial plants and conspicuous wildlife (i.e., birds and some reptiles) with special
status or commonly accepted as regionally sensitive by the California Native Plant Society,
California Department of Fish and Game, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service will be
recorded and later digitized into GIS format and added to the Biological Resources Map.
The reconnaissance survey also includes an assessment of suitable habitat for sensitive species.
Dudek will notify the City of Carlsbad immediately following the survey regarding the results of
this assessment. If suitable habitat is present, focused surveys for sensitive species may be
necessary and are not included in this scope of work. Some focused surveys can only be
conducted seasonally, depending on the species. However, Dudek will identify any feasible
options that will eliminate the need for focused surveys such as through avoidance of project
construction during migratory bird seasons.
Estimated Cost for Task 2 $4,530.00
Task 3: Preparation of the Biological Resources Constraints Analysis
The results of the general biological resources survey will be presented in a letter formatted
biological resources constraints analysis. The analysis will include a discussion of the survey
methodology and adequacy. Vegetation communities and sensitive biological resources will be
described in terms of their regional significance and presence onsite. Dudek will obtain
information regarding potential project construction techniques (e.g., impact footprint, noise
levels) and long-term operational features (e.g., access locations). With this information, Dudek
will draft a discussion of potential biological impacts associated with project implementation,
minimization and avoidance measures, and environmental permitting and likely mitigation
requirements for unavoidable impacts. Graphics will be prepared to illustrate the location of
the site and the existing biological conditions. The analysis will be prepared with specific
attention to the requirements presented in the Guidelines for Biological Studies (Technology
Associates 2008). These Guidelines discuss the Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan (HMP),
which serves as Carlsbad's subarea plan under the Multiple Habitat Conservation Program
(MHCP), and it provides guidance for consulting biologists on how to prepare a Biological
Resources Technical Report (BTR) and demonstrate compliance with the HMP, MHCP, and
CEQA.
A draft of the report will be provided to the City of Carlsbad prior to preparation of the final
document. This includes one round of revisions requested by the City of Carlsbad. Additional
revisions can be conducted for an additional fee if necessary. This task also includes up to two
project meetings with project engineers and/or City staff.
Estimated Cost for Task 3 $11,930.00

Mr. Mark Biskup
Re: Proposal for the Evaluation of Pipeline Alignments for the abandonment of the Villas and
Vancouver Lift Station in Carlsbad, California
Task 4: Operational Evaluation of Villas Lift Station
The Villas Lift station is currently having issues dealing with solids raging the existing pumps.
The City has already been in contact with several pump manufacturers to diagnose the
problem. Dudek has recommended an expert in pump station design provide a second opinion
on the situation.
Dudek's principal pump station engineer Dale Gruel will meet with operational staff on site at
the Villas Lift Station to discuss the current operational challenges faced with the lift station.
Included during the discussion will be the steps the City has taken for consideration of replacing
the existing pumps with grinder pumps to reduce raging issues. Following the meeting, Mr.
Gruel will provide a brief summary letter and recommendation based on the discussion with
operators, provided replacement pump information, and his past experience working with
sewer lift stations. Task 4 is estimated to include up to 12-hours of Mr. Gruel time researching
and providing his recommendations.
Estimated Cost for Task 4 $2,160.00
COST SUMMARY
Dudek will complete the scope of work, including Tasks I thru 4 described above, on a time
and materials basis. The proposed labor fee for completion of the work is $ 16,460.00.
All work will be billed in accordance with our 2009 Standard Schedule of Charges, a copy of
which is attached to this letter. Direct costs include field equipment, reproduction costs, and
mailing costs. As noted in the schedule of charges, direct costs will be billed at cost plus 5%.
Direct costs are estimated to not exceed $150.00
All work will be billed on a time-and-materials basis with a not-to-exceed $29,670.00, including
labor and reimbursable direct costs.
If any additional surveys are required after the general reconnaissance survey (e.g., focused
plant surveys or focused California gnatcatcher surveys), a separate proposal will be prepared
to conduct those surveys.
