The purpose of the Rancho Carlsbad Channel and Basin Project is to provide a permanent
solution to the drainage and sediment problems and the resultant impacts to the Rancho Carlsbad
Mobile Home Park due to the inadequate capacity of both the Agua Hedionda Creek and the Lake
Calavera Creek through the Mobile Home Park. A solution needs to be formulated and put in place
prior to extensive development of the basin upstream.
On November 4, 1997, per Resolution No. 97-672, the City Council approved a consultant
agreement with Rick Engineering Company for the preparation of a Drainage Concept Plan for the
Rancho Carlsbad Channel and Basin Project. The Rancho Carlsbad Channel and Basin Project is
Carlsbad Mobile Home Park, an existing 108 acre, 504 space mobile home park (see Exhibit 1).
located north and east of El Camino Real at Rancho Carlsbad Drive in the vicinity of the Rancho
The Drainage Concept Plan Report dated June 30, 1998 has been completed by Rick Engineering
Company and constitutes Phase I of the project. The Drainage Concept Plan Report includes
the hydrologic and hydraulic studies conducted on the basin and makes recommendations for
preliminary environmental impacts and mitigation requirements. In addition, the report summarizes
implementing the concept plan and thereby minimizing the 100-year flooding to the Rancho
Carlsbad Mobile Home Park. The initial phase of implementation will involve the completion of
environmental documentation and permitting and final engineering plans which are the subject of this agreement for the construction of the improvements listed below. This work effort constitutes
Phase II of the Rancho Carlsbad Channel and Basin Project:
1. Cannon Road Detention & Desilting Basin (Master Storm Drain Facility BJB).
2. Lake Calavera Creek (Master Storm Drain Facility BJ) and Agua Hedionda Creek Silt
Removal & Channel Improvements within the Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park
Staff previously received Statements of Qualifications from four consulting firms for Phase I of the
project and recommended to Council that the agreement with Rick Engineering Company be
approved based on staffs judgment that this firm was the most qualified to perform the services.
City Council concurred with this recommendation and approved the Phase I agreement. Based on
during Phase I, and the negotiation of a reasonable fee based on the Scope of Work for Phase II, it Rick Engineering's understanding of the project and the Phase II work effort, their performance
is recommended that the City Council approve the attached consultant agreement with
Rick Engineering Company as described in the attached consultant agreement, Exhibit 3.

of hazardous rnaterialshvastes likely to warrant mitigation actin pursuant to
current regulatory guidelines) from the presence of hazardous
materialshastes on or within the vicinity of the site. The guidelines used for
the definition of hazardous materialshnrastes are referenced in the California
Code of Regulations (CCR). Ti/e 22, Division 4.5. The proposed scope of
services for the Phase I ESA is as follows:
I. Perform a reconnaissance of the site to assess for the presence, or
make visual observations of indicators of the potential existing
presence of hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or soil and/or
groundwater impacts on the site. These indicators include, but are
not limited to, 55gallon drums, underground and above-ground
storage tanks, chemical containers, waste storage and disposal
areas, industrial facilities, discolored surficial soils, electrical
transformers that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
and areas conspicuously absent of vegetation. Client would be
resnonsibie for Drovidina Geocon with a site Dlan clearly p. Client would also be resDonsible
for obtainina Demission to enter the site Drior to our visit. If
access is unavailable to any portions of the subject property,
Geocons ability to complete the assessment described herein may
be hindered. Provisions for a survey of wetlands, earthquake faults,
asbestos, lead-based paint, lead in drinking water, radon gas, and
methane gas are not provided in this scope of services.

readily ascertainable information regarding underground storage
tank permits, building permits, agriculture-related permits and
violations, air emission permits and violations, source of water and
method of sewage disposal, location and depth of nearest drinking
water wells, and electrical transformers. The information would be
obtained for the subject site and adjacent properties with the
exception of building permits, which would be obtained for the
subject site only. The agencies contacted may include, but would not
be limited to, the fire department, building department, air pollution
control agency, agriculture department, water and sewer agencies,
and gas and/or electric utility companies.
7. Review and interpret reasonably ascertainable aerial photographs to
obtain information concerning the history of the site and adjacent
properties.

available). The EDR Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps would be
reviewed to obtain information concerning the historical uses of the
site and the potential presence of underground storage tanks on the
site.
9. Review pertinent and reasonably ascertainable information sources
to evaluate physiographic, geologic, and hydrogeologic conditions in
the vicinity of the site. The review would not include or address
earthquake faults on the subject site or in the site vicinity.
10. Review documents provided by Client at Client's discretion.
Potentially useful documents may include geotechnical, geologic,
and environmental reports; site plans: plot plans; tenant lists; and
correspondence with regulatory agencies. The review would not
include or address earthquake faults on the subject site or in the site
vicinity.
11. Review and interpret U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic
maps to obtain information relative to the topography and physical
setting of the site, and previous development and uses of the site
and properties within approximately ? mile of the subject site.
12. Review recorded land title records for the site to attempt to identify
past or present property owners whose name (Le., x/Z Chemical
Corporation) implies that those entities may have used, generated,
stored, or disposed of hazardous materialshnrastes on-site. 1 would ined

exoense.
13. Conduct interviews by telephone or in writing with present and past
tenantdowners of the subject site to evaluate if present or past
occupants have used, generated, stored, or disposed of hazardous
rnaterialshnrastes on-site. 4 f
fhe contacts for the above interviews are to be orovided by !ab.&
14. Prepare a report summarizing the findings of the ESA. The report
would qualitatively describe the potential for environmental
impairment of the site. If necessary, the report would also provide
recommendations for additional environmental services (i.e., a
Phase II investigation) based on the findings of the Phase I ESA.
