RECOMMENDED ACTION:
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD: Adopt Resolution No. G&O - 137 for approval and authorization to execute a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn & Associates for Environmental Impact Report preparation and preliminary and final engineering design
for Faraday Avenue Road extension from Orion Way to Melrose Drive (Project No. 3622) and South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer Reaches SAHTl A, SAHTI B, SAHTIC, and SAHTI D; City Project No. 3622, and appropriation of funds.
BOARD0y3DIRECTORS OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT: Adopt Resolution No. / for approval and authorization to execute a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn & Associates for Environmental Impact Report preparation and preliminary and final engineering design for Faraday Avenue 164nch potable and 8-Inch recycled water pipeline; City Project No. 3622, and appropriation of funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Faraday Avenue currently extends east to Orion Way. The scope of services for the consultant includes .biological surveys, alternative alignment analysis, preparation of environmental reports, permit acquisition and preliminary and final engineering design for the extension of Faraday Avenue from Orion Way to Melrose Drive. Exhibit 1 shows the location of the proposed road extension. The project also includes extension of the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer Reaches SAHTl A, SAHTI B, SAHTIC, and SAHTI D as shown on Exhibit 2. Although the sewer does not follow the road alignment the road and sewer projects were combined in order to benefit from common information that will be acquired such as aerial topographic surveys, biological surveys, and geotechnical information. A 16-Inch potable and 8-Inch recycled water pipeline will be included in the Faraday Avenue road extension.
Staff recommends moving forward with the project at this time due to biological surveys that are
required to be completed from April to June.
There is also a land development project (Techbilt Development) that has recently submitted an application in the area of the project. Techbilt Development needs the road and sewer for their project as well as an Environmental Impact Report. Therefore, they will share in the cost of the road and sewer projects as well as pay to have their land development project included in the Environmental Impact Report. A separate agreement with Techbilt Development will be submitted to
City Council for approval.
The road and sewer project will be completed in two phases. The first phase will include the Environmental Impact Report preparation and preliminary engineering. The second phase will be final design. Prior to commencement of the second phase the Environmental Impact Report will be
brought to the City Council for certification.
Proposals were received from six consulting firms. The engineering staff Selection Committee
recommends that Kimley-Horn & Associates be awarded the project. Engineering staff recommends that the City Council approve the professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn & Associates for preparation of the Environmental Impact Report and preliminary and final engineering design as
described in the agreement shown as Exhibit 5.

Street improvements included in the City’s Circulation Element are consistent with the City’s General Plan. The first phase of the work for this project will include preparation of biological studies and preliminary engineering. Relative to CEQA, this work is defined as Class 6, Information
Collection and is categorically exempt. The second phase of work will include final design. Prior to commencing with final design, the Environmental Impact Report prepared under Phase I will be brought to the City Council for certification.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated cost and funding for each element of the project is outlined in the tables below:
TABLE 1
SUMMARY OF COSTS FOR BIOLOGICAL STUDY AND DESIGN FOR FARADAY AVENUE ROAD, SEWER, WATER AND STORM DRAIN PROJECTS
Faraday Avenue Water Lines 97,210 0 0 97,210
Faraday Avenue Sewer Lines 0 39,880 70,320 110,200
Faraday Avenue Storm Drain 68,379 0 0 68,379
South Agua Hedionda Sewer 192,924 192,924 0 385,848
Totals 562,871 919,300 70,320 1,552,491
TABLE 2 SUMMARY OF FUNDING AND ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED
The total estimated cost is $1552,491. Additional appropriations totaling $1,066,643 will be required in the amounts shown in Table 2. The funding for the additional amount required for the
Faraday Road section ($790,854) will need to be a loan from the General Fund, to be repaid with developer fees once the proposed Bridge and Thoroughfare District No. 5 is formed. The City has already advanced $180,000 ($120,000 from the Gas Tax Fund and $60,000 from the GCC Fund) to the BTD, the additional loan will bring the total to $970,854.
Buena Sanitation District will be required to make a $70,320 deposit for their share of relocating their force main into Faraday Avenue prior to the City authorizing Kimley-Horn & Associates to perform this work.
Techbilt Development will be required to make a $209,659 deposit for their share of the Environmental Impact Report before the work commences and Techbilt Developments share of the road and sewer is $709,641. Their total share of the cost is $919,300. Staff is currently preparing an agreement with Techbilt to secure funding for their share of the cost.
The City is not responsible for the Techbilt Development EIR or the Buena Vista Sanitation District force main. The addition of their portion of the services will allow staff to administer the contract and issue notice to proceed work orders for Buena’s and Techbilt’s portion of the work, and will occur only after their deposits are received.

Fish and Game. The general approach to the project will involve conducting initial preliminary
field reconnaissance studies focusing on biological and archaeological resources, traffic and
civil engineering; the subsequent analysis and documentation of preliminary design alternatives
to select the least damaging alternative; project definition and preparation of an initial study;
determination of appropriate environmental documentation; and, preparation of a mitigated
negative declaration or an environmental impact report.
Task 1A: Reconnaissance
The project team will conduct a preliminary reconnaissance of the study area to identify local
conditions of the environment. This preliminary reconnaissance will address all environmental
and engineering issues relevant to the proposed project; however, the environmental
reconnaissance will focus on biological and cultural resources in the area of potential affect.
The purpose of this work effort is to identify sensitive environmental areas prior to the design of
the roadway so that impacts to sensitive resources can be minimized. In addition, engineering
and geotechnical opportunities and constraints will be examined.
Engineering
This task will evaluate existing technical and other background information and establish design
criteria to guide the project delivery, identifying opportunities and constraints in developing the
least damaging practicable alternative.
Da ta Collection
We will obtain and review technical and other background information pertinent to the project.
Kimley-Horn will rely on the City of Carlsbad to assist in obtaining this information. The data
that will be collected includes but is not limited to Carlsbad ‘Oaks North Business Park Tentative
Map and associated studies, drainage studies, and existing right-of-way.
Survey and Mapping
Topographic mapping will be produced for the various phases of the project. For the
environmental phase we are proposing to provide a three dimensional l”=lOO’ scale, 5’ contour interval digital map along with a 1”=200’ digital black and white orthographic photo for the larger
study area. Once the least damaging practicable alternative is identified, a 1”=40’ with one-foot contour interval electronic base map will be completed for the final design.
Existing right-of-way will be added to the mapping. The right-of-way will include city and county
boundaries, any irrevocable offers of dedication, and privately held land.
Design Criteria
Design criteria will be established to guide the design of Faraday Avenue. The criteria will
include geometric design, drainage, grading, safety and operational, utilities, and conformance
with City of Carlsbad and other regional standards. Typical sections will be completed to identify
roadway and parkway widths and side slope grading.
2335-01
April 2000Page 2
Geotechnical
Our proposed scope of services to prepare the geologic reconnaissance report will include
research and field studies to prepare a summary of the geologic condition and provide a
general evaluation of the geologic hazards. Specifically we propose to perform the following:
n A review of in-house and client-provided geotechnical reports pertinent to the site.
n A geologic reconnaissance of the site.
n A review of aerial photographs.
n Prepare general geologic mapping of the site conditions.
n Preparation of a report to provide a geneial summary of the geologic conditions at the site
pertinent to the proposed development. The summary report will address the following:
Description of the site and general site geology.
Geologic mapping of the study area.
Identify potential geologic and seismic hazards including soil liquefaction, lateral
spreading, seismically induced settlement, landsliding, and faulting.
Drainage
If available, the Kimley-Horn team will review preliminary drainage calculations for Catlsbad Oaks North Business Park. Any discrepancies to the design criteria typically applied to a similar
project will be noted and communicated to the City of Carlsbad. In addition, we will gather
existing data from the County of San Diego and other sources to provide flow estimates for
preliminary design.
According to previous studies completed by Rick Engineering a detention basin will be required
on the proposed Faraday Avenue/South Agua Hedionda Creek crossing. In our
communications with Rick Engineering, many design issues need to be resolved as part of our
design efforts. Therefore we are proposing a two phased approach with the
conceptual/preliminary design and then final design. The estimated effort with the concept
design includes review of Rick Engineering hydrologic analysis, preliminary grading, outlet
structure concept design and hydraulics, and environmental review (including wildlife corridor
analysis). A brief conceptual design report will be prepared that summarizes the hydrologic
analysis, the outlet hydraulics, the embankment design and the preliminary construction cost
estimate. The HEC-1. hydrologic model prepared by Rick engineering will be used for the
detention basin sizing and outlet design.

April 2000Page 3
Task 1B: Alternative Identification
Based on the results of the Preliminary Reconnaissance, the KHA team will analyze up to three
preliminary design alternatives and the no build alternative. The alternatives will be designed
on AutoCAD using the l”=lOO’ topographic mapping, the established design criteria, typical
sections, and opportunity and constraints mapping. The design will include horizontal location,
vertical profile, drainage basins and limits of grading as well as possible identification of
potential borrow site locations. The purpose of each of the alternatives will be to minimize
impacts to the sensitive habitat.
Deliverables: Up to three preliminary alternatives drawn on the topographic mapping and the
opportunity and constraints mapping.
Task 7 C; Alternative Analysis
Roadway alignments within the study area will impact wetlands, requiring a Section 404 permit.
A requirement under EPA Section 404(b)(l) Guidelines exists to seek practicable alternatives to
fill within wetlands and waters of the’ U.S. This task would include early consultation with
resource agencies to help identify and address specific resource agency concerns. This effort
will be well-documented through the preparation of a brief (i.e., 20 page) report that
demonstrates to the resource agencies the process undertaken by the City to identify the least
environmentally damaging practicable alternative (LDPA). This report would be incorporated in
whole, or part, into the environmental documentation prepared for the project.
The alternative analysis will focus on the following:
1. Environmental Impacts
2. Conformance to design criteria
3. Traffic Impacts
4. costs
Environmen ta/ lmpac ts
The biological analysis would include focused discussions on Coastal Sage Scrub, wetlands,
sensitive species issues, and on-site mitigation, as well as wildlife corridor viability under the
proposed design alternatives. The alternatives analysis report would also discuss all sensitive
vegetation/habitat types, and CEQA sensitive species which are present or highly likely to be
present on site. The analysis would identify conformance of the current site ‘conditions with
those identified previously on the site. Where prudent, recommendations would be given to
provide alternatives for avoiding significant impacts to biological resources.
Several issues are perceived as critical to pending Carlsbad HMP compliance and projected
USFWS/CDFG response to the proposed project. In particular, impacts to Coastal Sage Scrub
and ‘wildlife corridors are expected to be closely scrutinized. The analysis would include a
focused discussion of these issues under the proposed design. The report would address not only specific issues such as wetland mitigation needs, but would also address wncerns relative
to the potential for any specific alignment to impact sub-area linkage viability.
2385-01
April 2000Page 4
The report would identify the need for any additional biological permits. If special focused
sensitive plant/animal surveys are not required, the report would be deliverable within six weeks
of conveyance of maps and receipt of authorization to proceed. If additional surveys are
necessary, final report delivery would be delayed until such surveys could be completed.
However, an interim draft could be provided to allow completion of other work efforts.
Subsequent modifications may be necessary upon completion of the final analyses. Merkel &
Associates would work with city staff, particularly project design engineers, to develop a least
environmentally damaging, practicable alignment alternative, and determine required mitigation
for the project.
The cultural resources mapping would be utilized in the selection of the preferred alternative
alignment. However, cultural resources site significance testing is not covered under the
proposed cost estimate. If site significance testing is required at this stage in order to identify
the least impactive alignment, then a separate cost estimate would be provided at that time
depending on the number and size of sites identified for testing. Any testing would be geared to
satisfy both CEQA and Section 106 requirements.
Traffic Impacts
Using the traffic analysis prepared as part of the reconnaissance phase, traffic impacts will be assessed for each alternative. It is expected that the impacts for the three build alternatives will
be similar and that the no-build alternative will have the greatest impact.
Conformance to Design Criteria
In working with the environmental constraints, it is quite possible that the design of the roadway
might not conform to all design criteria. In previous projects we have avoided biological as well
as cultural resources by using non-standard design elements such as steeper vertical grades,
smaller radius horizontal curvature with super-elevation, steeper side slopes and narrow
parkways. This criteria will evaluate the safety and operational aspects of non-standard design
features.
costs
One of the most significant aspects of developing the LPDA are the constructions costs as well
as the environmental mitigation costs. Costs will be developed for each alternative and will
include:
a Construction
n Right-of-way
n Environmental mitigation
n Add-on (i.e. design, administration and contingencies)
Earthwork could be one of the substantial construction cost items. Our preliminary review of
the preliminary alignment shows significant fills indicating the possibility of importing material.
Knowing the potential location of the borrow site(s) will be critical in developing a cost estimate,
the most economical borrow sites will wme from the adjacent development. We will also
2385-01
April 2000Page 5
examine costs for potential structures (bridges and retaining walls) to minimize impacts to the
environment as well as to reduce the overall earthwork.
1.2 South Agua Hedionda Sewer
The South Aqua Hedionda Interceptor sewer transverse undeveloped land from the existing
Raceway Lift Station on the City limits with Vista, approximately 11,700 feet, to the intersection
with College Blvd. extension. This reach includes section SAHTlA (15”) SAHTI B (183
SAHTl C (18”) and SAHTlD (18”) from The Carollo Master Plan. The project will eliminate the
need for the Raceway Lift Station and allow’gravity flow for discharges from Vista and within
Carlsbad. The ultimate flow at the downstream end of the project reach (SAHTID) is 4.74 mgd.
The Scope and Fee presented here are based on the alignment presented in the 1997
O’Day Consultants study. This alignment includes 18 and 21 inch VC Pipe with depths
up-to 45 feet and directional drilled siphon and mircotunnel options. This alignment
may not be the best option for this project. The Preliminary Engineering Study will
address alternatives to the O’Day Study alignment that may be more practical.
The proposed project approach to the South Aqua Hedionda is similar to the approach
described for the Faraday Road environmental analysis and preliminary design. As will
be discussed in the environmental documentation section, both the roadway project
and the sewer project will combined into one environmental document, which is
assumed to be an Environmental Impact Report.
As described in the Faraday Road proposal, the project approach will include the
following major tasks:
1. Environmental Analysis and Preliminary Engineering.
IA. Reconnaissance
1B. Alternative Identification
1C Alternative Analysis
ID. Environmental Documentation
1E Permits
The team for this portion will include includes Kimley-Horn and Associates, Cotton
Beland and Associates for environmental, Merkel and Associates for biology and
Kennedy Jenks for trenchless pipeline design.
The following details the scope of work assumed for each of the above tasks.
2385-01
April 2000Page6
IA. Reconnaissance
The proposed sewer traverses through primarily undisturbed native vegetation
impacting sensitive habitat. In terms of upland habitat impacts, the project is covered
by the City’s Habitat Management Plan of which a draft is currently under review by the
U.S. Fish Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game. Separate
permits is assumed to be required by the US Army Corp of Engineers, US Fish and
Wildlife Service, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department
of Fish and Game.
The general approach to the project will involve conducting initial preliminary field
reconnaissance studies focusing on biological and archaelogical resources, civil
engineering; the subsequent analysis and documentation of preliminary design
alternatives to select the least environmentally damaging alternative, project definition
and preparation of an initial study; determination of appropriate environmental
documentation.
The project team will conduct a’preliminary reconnaissance of the study area to identify
local conditions of the environment. This preliminary reconnaissance will address all
environmental and engineering issues relevant to the proposed project; however, the
environmental reconnaissance will focus on biological and cultural resources in the.area
of potential effect. The purpose of this work effort is to identify sensitive environmental
areas prior to the design of the roadway so that impacts to sensitive resources can be
minimized. In addition, engineering and geotechincal opportunities and constraints will
be examined.
Biology
After reviewing existing biological resource documents relevant to the proposed project,
the study area would be reviewed by Merkel & Associates (M&A) biologists for changes
in conditions or any substantial new information regarding on-site sensitive biological
resources, or issues which may affect routing decisions. The study corridor for the
sewer is assumed to be 300 feet wide. Of particular interest are the distribution of
Coastal Sage Scrub and wetlands, and the potential presence of the federally listed
California Gnatcatcher, Least Bell’s Vireo, state and federally listed sensitive plants, or
other sensitive species known from the area such as Nuttal’s Scrub Oak, Palmer’s
Grapplinghook, Western Dichondra, and California Adolphia. The objective of M&A’s
surveys would be primarily to expand existing data where necessary but not to repeat
prior work. Where significant changes have occurred or deficiencies in existing data
are noted, further studies may be recommended to help ensure that alignments do not
require significant modification as a result of future findings. Additional focused surveys
2385-01
April 2OOOPage 7
may be required by the resources agencies where previous focused surveys did not
cover all areas of potential impact, or where previous surveys are outdated. Costs for
these focused surveys have been included within the attached cost proposal.
Deliverables: A jurisdictional wetland delineation will be necessary for U.S. Army Corps
of. Engineers’ permit approval. All necessary delineations would be performed along
the various alternative routes to determine the potential impact levels. This information
would assist in sewer siting, to reduce impacts to biological resources, including
wetland resources. A standard wetland’delineation report would be prepared covering
the identified portion of the wetlands on-site. The report would allow for a determination
of wetland acreage impacts given specific construction routes within the study area.
One combined biological technical document will be prepared for the road and sewer.
Cultural Resources
The cultural resources study will focus upon the identification of resources within a 300-
foot wide corridor of the trunk sewer alignment. The conclusion of the cultural
resources studies in Task 1 would be the presentation of a map showing the location of
all archaeological sites within the corridor. The project area has not been previously
surveyed, so the extent of resources is not known. The location of the trunk sewer
along a substantial drainage with extensive biological habitat suggests that the potential
for cultural resources is high. The cultural resources scope will include: a records
search to determine if any archaeological sites have been recorded within the
alignment; review of previous studies in the project area; an intense archaeological
survey to local all cultural resources within the APE; and mapping and recording of
identified sites.
Testing of cultural resources, if identified in the project’s APE, will be necessary to
determine importance/significance under CEQA and to determine the site’s eligibility for
the National Register. The program designed for testing will include surface mapping of
artifacts and features, subsurface testing to establish the boundaries of any cultural
deposits and all laboratory analyses necessary to record and interpret the artifact
recoveries. The scope of work for the cultural resources testing cannot be determined
at this time because the size and complexity of any sites that may be located within the
project is not yet known. In order to facilitate the environmental review process, the
budget includes $10,000 for cultural resources testing. The $10,000 budget amount for
cultural resource testing is an estimate and may only be partially utilized or may be
exceeded depending on the extent of cultural resources identified in the APE.
Deliverable: A combined roadway and sewer brief summary report.

Engineering
This task will evaluate existing technical and other background information and
establish design criteria to guide the project delivery, identify opportunities and
constraints in developing the least damaging practicable alternative.
Da ta Collection
We will obtain and review technical and other background information pertinent to the
project. Kimley-Horn will rely on the City of Carlsbad in assist in obtaining this
information. The data that will be collected includes but is not limited to Carlsbad Oaks
North Business Park Tentative Map and associated studies, drainage studies and
existing right-of-way.
Survey and Mapping
Topographic mapping will be produced for the various phases of the project. For the
environmental phase we are proposing to provide a three dimensional I”=100 scale, 5’
contour interval digital map along with a 1”=200’ digital black and white orthographic
photo for the larger study area. Once the least damaging practicable alternative is
identified, a I”=40 with one-foot contour interval electronic base map will be completed
for the final design.
Additional field shots will be taken in areas obliterated from view of the aerial flight.
Once the mapping is completed for the environmental phase, existing right-of-way will
be added. The right-of-way will include city and county boundaries, any irrevocable
offers of dedication, privately held land as well as any known easements. It is assumed
that the developer or the City of Carisbad will provide the required title reports.
Utilities
Existing and known dry and wet utilities will be identified and added to the base map.
No pot holing is assumed for this phase. The effort includes as-built (record drawing)
research and field survey of visible utilities.
2385-01

Design Criteria
Design criteria will be established to guide the design of the Aqua Hedionda Sewer.
The criteria will include, maximum and minimum grades and pipe cover, trenching and
bedding, micro-tunneling parameters, directional drilling requirements, drainage,
grading, odor control, metering, safety and operational, utilities, and conformance with
City of Carlsbad and other regional standards. Typical sections will be completed to
identify maximum sewer depth, and side slope grading.
Geotechnical
Our proposed scope of services to prepare the geologic reconnaissance report will
include research and field studies to prepare a summary of the geologic condition and
provide a general evaluation of the geologic hazards. We will also perform limited
subsurface exploration along the westerly and easterly sides of Los Monos Canyon.
Specifically we propose to perform the following:
A review of in-house and client-provided geotechnical reports pertinent to the site.
A geologic reconnaissance of the site.
A review of aerial photographs.
Prepare general geologic mapping of the site conditions.
Excavation of 6 to 8 trenches using a rubber tired backhoe.

- Laboratory test results of rock core strengths.
- Trench stability issues (preliminary).
System Flows and Hydraulics
As part of this task Kimley-Horn and Associates will review and analyze the tributary
flow areas, average daily flow rates and peak flow rates entering the sewer. We will
also coordinate with the City of Vista to insure that all flows, gravity and pumped are
incorporated.
Drainage
A stream channel hydraulic study will be prepared and based on a previous study by
Rick Engineering. A HECRAS hydraulic model of the Aqua Hedionda Creek (Sunny
Creek) from Ranch0 Carlsbad Golf Course to just upstream of the proposed Faraday
Avenue crossing will be prepared. The 100 year water surface elevation will be used
for minimum manhole elevations and the hydraulic parameters will be used for
calculating scour depth at stream crossings and for channel modifications required by
the final design.

IB. Alternative Identification
Based on the results of the Preliminary Reconnaissance, the KHA team will analyze up
to three preliminary design alternatives and the no build alternative. The alternatives
will be designed on AutoCAD using the l”=lOO’, 5foot contour topographic mapping,
the established design criteria, typical sections and opportunity and constraints
mapping. The design will include horizontal location, vertical profile, access roads, and
limits of grading as well as possible borrow site locations. The purpose of each of the
alternatives will be to minimize impacts to the sensitive habitat.
Deliverables: Up to three preliminary alternative plan and profile drawings and the
opportunity and constraints mapping.
IC. Alternative analysis
The alternative analysis will focus on the following:
1. Environmental Impacts
2. Conformance to design criteria
3. costs
Sewer alignments within the study area will impact wetlands, requiring a Section 404
permit. A requirement under EPA Section 404(b)(l) Guidelines exists to seek
practicable alternatives to construction within wetlands and waters of the U.S. This task
would include early consultation with resource agencies to help identify and address
specific resource agency concerns. This effort will be well-documented through the
preparation of a brief (i.e., 20 page) report that demonstrates to the resource agencies
the process undertaken by the City to identify the least environmentally damaging
practicable alternative. This report would be incorporated in whole, or part, into the
environmental documentation prepared for the project.
The biological analysis would include focused discussions on Coastal Sage Scrub,
wetlands, sensitive species issues, and on-site mitigation, as well as wildlife corridor
viability under the proposed design alternatives. The alternatives analysis report would
also discuss all sensitive vegetation/habitat types, and CEQA sensitive species which
are present or highly likely to be present on site. The analysis would identify
conformance of the current site conditions with those identified previously on the site.
Where prudent, recommendations would be given to provide alternatives for avoiding
significant impacts to biological resources.
2385-01
April 2000Page 12
.-
Several issues are perceived as critical to pending Carlsbad HCP compliance and
projected USFWSICDFG response to the proposed project. In particular, impacts to
Coastal Sage Scrub and wildlife corridors are expected to be closely scrutinized. The
analysis would include a focused discussion of these issues under the proposed
design. The report would address not only specific issues such as wetland mitigation
needs, but would also’ address concerns relative to the potential for any specific
alignment to impact subarea linkage viability.
The report would identify the need for any additional biological permits. If special
focused sensitive plant/animal surveys are not required, the report would be deliverable
within six weeks of conveyance of maps and receipt of authorization to proceed. If
additional surveys are necessary, final report delivery would be delayed until such
surveys could be completed. However, an interim draft could be provided to allow
completion of other work efforts. Subsequent modifications may be necessary upon
completion of the final analyses. M&A would work with city staff, particularly project
design engineers, to develop a least environmentally damaging, practicable alignment
alternative,’ and determine required mitigation for the project.
The cultural resources mapping conducted under Task 1 could be utilized in the
selection of the preferred alternative alignment. Cultural resources site significance
testing is covered (up to an amount of $10,000) under the proposed cost estimate. If
site significance testing is required at this stage in order to identify the least impactive
alignment, then a separate cost estimate would be provided at that time depending on
the number and size of sites identified for testing. Any testing would be geared to
satisfy both CEQA and Section 106 requirements.
1.3 Associated Utilities
The proposed tasks are described in detail below:
1. Sewer siphon: The Buena Sanitation District is requesting that their existing 12”
sanitary sewer siphon be relocated within the proposed Faraday Avenue. The
proposed sewer will connect to the existing sewer located at the City of Vista city
limits and to the existing sewer at the proposed Faraday Avenue crossing of the
existing siphon for a total distance of approximately 5880 feet. The preliminary
design effort includes route identification and coordination with the City of Vista.
2. Local sewer sewing the Tchang development. A sanitary sewer will be
required within the proposed Faraday Avenue to serve the proposed Tchang
2385-01

-
property. The City of Carlsbad will provide the approved sewer master plan with
the design flows. The sewer will begin at the proposed eastern roadway and
connect to the proposed South Agua Hedionda Sewer for a total length of
approximately 2200 feet. The preliminary design effort includes route
identification and coordination with the Tchang development
3. Domestic water line. A 12” PVC water line is proposed to be constructed within
the proposed Faraday Avenue from Orion Avenue east to the city limits for an
approximate length of 7400 feet. The preliminary design effort includes
identification of appurtenances, fire hydrants, and stub connection for the
Tchang property. The City will provide design flows and computer pipe system
network analysis. This proposal assumes the water system is in a single
pressure zone and that no pressure reducing facility will be required.
4. Reclaimed water line. The .proposed reclaimed water line will have the same
assumption and limits as the domestic water line.
Deliverables: Preliminary design of the associated utilities.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Carlsbad is a city with a population of approximately 78,000 people. The City is located
along the northern coast of San Diego County thirty miles north of downtown San
Diego. It is bordered to the north by the City of Oceanside, to the south by the City of
Encinitas, on the east by the Cities of Vista and San Marcos, and on the west by the
Pacific Ocean. Carlsbad has a combination of industrial, commercial and residential
development, including a large regional shopping center, and auto retail center, several
large industrial parks, the LEGOLAND California Educational Park, and a regional
airport. The City contains three lagoons, extensive agricultural areas and large tracts of
undeveloped land. The total area of the City of Carlsbad is approximately 40 square
miles.
In 1981 a general plan amendment was approved for the subject property which
modified the land use element to reflect 282 acres of industrial and 135 acres of open
space in the area that was shown as residential in the Valle Verde Planned Community
Plan making it compatible with the existing 187 acres of planned industrial along
Palomar Airport Road. A major factor in the deliberations on the General Plan
Amendment was the property’s location in relation to non-residential uses and Palomar
Airport. Industrial uses and open-space corridors were determined to be the most
appropriate use for this area.
2385-01
April 2OOOPage 16
In 1986, the Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan (SP 200) was approved.
l Although the proposed Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park site was included as Area
B of SP 200, the document set forth the detailed regulations, conditions and programs
for development of Area A which consists of 187 acres located directly to the south of
the project site. This area has been developed with industrial uses in accordance with
approval of SP 200. The split of the Specific Plan into the southern and northern parts
was determined to be the best mechanism to allow development of the southern portion
of the Specific Plan. In 1986, it was anticipated that an amendment to the Carlsbad
Airport Business Center Specific Plan would take place to include a more detailed
discussion of the northern portion of the Specific ‘Plan. The proposed Specific Plan for
the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park site covered by this EIR is proposed in lieu of
the amendment anticipated to address development of the site.
Site Location and Description
The proposed Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park is located on a 414-acre parcel
north of Palomar Airport Road, l/4 mile east of El Camino Real; The Carlsbad
Raceway is located approximately %-mile east of the project site. Immediately north of
the proposed project is the Dawson Los Monos Canyon Reserve. This sensitive area is
part of the University of California Natural Land and Water Resources system and is
used by the University for scientific and education purposes. The property is abutted
to the west by vacant county land and the Coast Waste Trash Transfer Station,
Carlsbad Safety Center and Faraday Industrial Park are located to the west at the
existing terminus of Faraday Avenue. The Carlsbad Airport Business Center (Carlsbad
Oaks) abuts the property to the south. Aqua Hedionda Creek in its southern fork
crosses the southerly portion of the site. This linear riparian woodland, consisting of
oaks, willows and sycamore trees, will be retained in this area, however, crossings will
occur with the alignmeht of Faraday Avenue both onsite and offsite to the west to Orion
Street along with the extension of El Fuerte Street and the alignment of the onsite
South Agua Hedionda Interceptor (SAHI) sewer line. Alternative alignments of public
infrastructure are proposed to enable selection of the least environmentally damaging
alternative to minimize the impact on the riparian habitat.
In general, the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park site is characterized by three
different topographic areas: the north facing hillside slopes that extend down from the
existing Carlsbad Airport Business Center development to the south, the rocky hills
which cover the central and northern site areas, and the intervening east west canyon
drainage.
2385-01
April 2000Page 17
The property is currently included in the City draft HMP with a proposed “hardline”
designation identifying the preservation of open space. The ownership has negotiated
with the Wildlife Agencies and the City of Carlsbad and all have come to an agreement
as to the “hardline” areas for development and designation of open space areas. The
major open-space corridor is generally located along Aqua Hedionda Creek south of
proposed Faraday Avenue alignment. Another large open-space area is located along
the western and northern boundary adjacent to Dawson Los Monos Canyon Reserve.
These areas possess considerable biological significance as one of the few, remaining
undisturbed riparian woodland systems in Southern California.
Planned Industrial (PI) and Open-Space (OS) land use designations surround the
Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park property on the north, south and west sides. On
the east side of the project within the City of Vista lies existing single-family residential
uses. The current General Plan designations for the property are PI and OS. The
current zoning for the entire property is Planned Community (P-C)
Proiect Description
The proposed General Plan Amendment retains the property’s PI and OS General
Plan land use designations, however, the land use boundaries are readjusted to
correspond with the areas proposed for open space and industrial land use. The
amendment would change from PI to OS the majority of the area south of the proposed
Faraday alignment. In addition, the PI designated areas north of Faraday have been
reduced in size and the open-space increased. The proposed zone change rezones
the PI designated property to Planned Industrial (P-M) and OS designated property to
Open Space (O-S). Of the 414 acres, 219.5 acres (53%) are proposed as open-space,
167.3 gross acres for industrial use, 0.6 acres for a sewer lift station or open-space and
26.6 acres of public street. Of the 167.3 gross acres of industrial, 129.8 acres will be
building pads.
The proposed Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Specific Plan (SP No. 211) and
accompanying documents will provide a comprehensive set of guidelines, regulations
and implementation program to ensure orderly development of the entire Carlsbad
Oaks North project. The Specific Plan defines the allowable types and intensity of uses
and provides detailed development and design standards and criteria. Adoption of the
new Specific Plan will establish development criteria and standards in accordance with
the City of Carlsbad General Plan, Title 21 (Zoning Ordinance) of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code; the Zone 16 Local Facilities Management Plan, the Palomar Airport
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan.
The proposed tentative subdivision map would create 22 industrial lots ranging in size
from 3 acres to 20.7 acres and 4 open space lots. Proposed grading is balanced with
2385-01
April 2OOOPap 18
an estimated 2,660,OOO cubic yards of cut and 2,660,OOO cubic yards of fill necessary
for the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park and onsite and offsite Faraday Avenue.
The following discussion summarizes the proposed onsite and offsite Faraday Avenue
road, sewer facilities including the onsite and offsite South Agua Hedionda Sewer
Interceptor (SAHI), drainage facility improvements, and provision of open space
necessary for the project:
Road Improvements
In addition to the standard industrial streets providing access to the individual parcels,
vehicular access to the site requires: 1) the construction and dedication of Faraday
Avenue, a secondary arterial roadway, from the easterly project boundaries adjacent to
the City of Vista westerly through the property to offsite of the Carlsbad Oaks North
Business Park property through County lands to Orion Street. (The County of San
Diego has agreed to dedicate the right-of-way as part of the settlement agreement for
the trash/transfer station with the City of Carlsbad.); and 2) the construction of El Fuerte
Street, a secondary arterial roadway, from its current northerly terminus northerly to
Faraday Avenue. The developer will be responsible for the construction of the onsite
streets and El Fuerte along with his fair share cost of offsite Faraday west of the
Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park property.
Sewer Facilities
Sewer service for Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park may include a phased approach.
In addition to the single phase alternative, which relies on the availablity of the South
Agua Hedionda Sewer Interceptor, a two phase approach will be analyzed as part of
the environmental study. The two phased approach is briefly described below.
Phase I
This phase would provide sewer service to generally the easterly half of the Oaks North
property. This sewer would gravity flow southerly to Faraday Avenue and then easterly
in Faraday Avenue into the City of Vista and into the Raceway Basin Lift Station. The
Raceway Basin Lift Station will need to be upgraded to accommodate the flows on an
interim basis from Phase I of Carlsbad Oaks North. This is an interim sewer
configuration and it will require a sewer service agreement between the City of
Carlsbad and the Buena Sanitation District. Buena Sanitation District has indicated that
they ,may be supportive of this option as an interim solution for sewer service for Phase
I.
2385-01
April 2000Page 19
-
Phase II/Option 1
This phase would delete the interim connection (Phase I) to the Raceway Basin Lift
Station. The gravity line in Faraday Avenue that flows east for Phase I would be
replaced with a line that flows west to the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor. If the new
South Agua Hedionda Interceptor has not been constructed to Faraday Avenue when
Phase II is ready to be constructed, then Phase II/Option 2 will be constructed.
Phase II/Option 2
This phase abandons the use of the Raceway Basin Lift Station and utilizes a gravity
system to a new pump station near El Fuerte and Faraday Ave within Lot No. 25. The
east flowing gravity line in Faraday Ave. would be replaced with a west flowing gravity
line to the new pump station. A force main will then be constructed partially in Faraday
Ave. and then southwesterly in the existing Buena Interceptor easement across County
of San Diego property to El Camino Real just north of Palomar Airport Road. The
system would then continue southerly in El Camino Real to the Vallecitos Interceptor at
the south edge of the Carlsbad Industrial area.
Drainaae Facilities
All graded lots within Carlsbad Oaks North will be graded to direct flows into an onsite
temporary desiltation basin and then directly into an underground system. The major
onsite drainage system flows underground to Faraday Ave. and into two separate
pollution control basins prior to discharging into Aqua Hedionda Creek.
When Aqua Hedionda Creek crosses under Faraday Ave., a major
detention/sedimentation facility will be created (see Drainage Report from Rick
Engineering, dated June 30, 1998). The City Master Drainage Plan identified several
storm drains, and storm drain systems that were constructed with the original Carlsbad
Oaks project. The Drainage Master Plan (1994) also requires a major sedimentation
basin (BP/59,150 cubic yards) to be constructed offsite on the adjacent County of San
Diego property at the confluence of Aqua Hedionda Creek-and a minor tributary within
the County property. The basin being proposed at Faraday Ave. may replace BP if
found to satisfy the need and requirements of the Drainage Master Plan.. In addition,
the Drainage Master Plan cost estimate includes a provision for a potential bridge
structure (Paragraph BP on page 83) on Faraday Ave. across Aqua Hedionda Creek.
The Carlsbad Oaks North project is proposing an undersized crossing (a single box
culvert as identified in the Rick Engineering Hydrology Study not only for drainage
improvements but also for detention of the 100 year flood to protect downstream
property) that will negate the need for a bridge structure.
2385-01
April 2000Page 20
The Specific Plan addresses proposed site drainage and issues associated with project
runoff and Agua Hedionda Creek. All graded lots within the project site will be graded
to direct drainage into an onsite temporary desiltation basin and then directly into an
underground system that either connects to the major onsite drainage system or in
some cases of small drainage area, into a rock dissipater and then to a natural
drainage swale. The primary onsite system will extend within internal streets and offsite
via Faraday Avenue and eventually into two (maybe more) separate pollution control
basins as required prior to discharging into Agua Hedionda Creek. The two (possibly
more) pollution control basins are required to be constructed on the site by the City
Master Drainage Plan and as a filter to meet NPDES standards.
The discussion of drainage facilities proposed by the Specific Plan as well as a
hydrologic analysis of the proposed detention facilities prepared by Rick Engineering
will seNe as the basis for this description.
Open Space
Preservation of open space and particularly the large open space habitat corridor which
is part of the City’s HMP and wraps around the Specific Plan area from the northwest to
the southeast, is an important aspect of the Specific Plan. Open space constitutes the
largest single land use and much of the Specific Plan open space is in the large
continuous habitat corridor. Other proposed open space areas include employee
eating areas, a pedestrian trail with related PAR course equipment, landscape setbacks
and slope areas. All designated open spaces are to be maintained by the Carlsbad
Oaks North Business Park Association. Four open space categories are addressed
within the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Specific Plan area.
1. Open Space for Preservation of Natural Resources
The large open space habitat corridor, proposed to be preserved as part of the City’s
HMP, wraps around the Specific Plan area and consists of 219.5 acres of dedicated
open space (53% of the site). This area includes the preservation of Agua Hedionda
Creek as a significant and important environmental and aesthetic resource and a 300’
buffer on the north side adjacent to the Los Monos Canyon Reserve.
2. Open Space for the Managed Production of Resources
The project site has not recently been used for agriculture purposes or mined for
mineral reasons. No portion of the specific plan will be reserved for the production of
such resources.
238501
April 2000Page 21
3. Open Space for Outdoor Recreation
1.2 miles (6400 lineal feet) of pedestrian trail with areas for related PAR course
equipment and 0.8 acres of private recreation facilities/employee eating areas are
proposed.
4. Open Space for Public Health and Safety
The project consists of a limited amount of manufactured slopes to be maintained as
open space. 50’ landscaped setbacks along El Fuerte and Faraday and a 35
landscape setback along the loop road are also proposed. Landscaping of these
setbacks will provide an aesthetically pleasing thoroughfare as well as providing
additional distance between the travel lane and future buildings. In addition, a
significant landscape setback is being proposed on the easterly edge of the project
adjacent to the existing residential uses in the City of Vista.

INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The introductory chapter and executive summary is a required section under CEQA. This
section should provide sufficient detail to evaluate and review the environmental impacts of the
project, but not excessive detail. It may be used as a “stand alone” document.
Tasks:
1. The consultant shall prepare an introductory chapter and executive summary pursuant
to all applicable CEQA requirements. This section should identify the project location
and boundaries on detailed regional maps. It should include a general description of the project’s technical, economic, and environmental characteristics. It should include a
statement briefly describing the intended uses of the EIR. Since this is a Program EIR,
this would include future projects which would implement the Specific Plan. It should
also list the agencies which are expected to use the EIR in their decision-making and
the approvals for which the EIR will be used. This section must itemize and discuss
briefly each significant effect of the project, as well as proposed mitigation measures
required and alternatives which would reduce or avoid that impact. It should identify
areas of controversy and issues raised by agencies or the public. Issues which would remain to be resolved should be called out, including the choices among alternatives
and whether or how to mitigate the significant impacts.
The EIR shall comprehensively address and analyze the scope of issues identified and
described below:
AIR QUALITY
Proiect Backaround
Implementation of the proposed project will result in an incremental increase in local and regional air pollution. Grading for the project may also contribute significantly to the generation
of fugitive dust. The San Diego Air Basin is classified as a “severe” non-attainment area for
both federal and state standards for ozone (smog). The San Diego Air Basin also exceeds the
state standard for airborne particulate matter.
2385-01
April 2000Page 26
a Impacts from the project may include construction emissions, equipment exhaust, fugitive dust,
and vehicle emissions. The project’s impact may be significant as the region presently does not
meet air quality standards. Additional mitigation measures may be necessary such as providing
for public transit in the project design and implementation of various Transportation Control
Measures (TCMs) to reduce trips, vehicle use, miles traveled, idling or traffic congestion.
Tasks:
1. The consultant shall discuss the project setting, including a review of the regional-
meteorology. The consultant shall review and address both short-term and long-term air
quality impacts of the project. The analysis should include consideration of any potential emissions or other hazardous conditions resulting from the planned industrial portion of the
project. Recommended analysis to determine emissions resulting from the project may include:
a) Provision of a summary of required emissions data;
b) Calculations of air quality impacts and emissions during construction and
operation of the project; and,
cl Modeling of air quality impacts, including modeling of ambient air quality.
2. Air quality impacts shall be analyzed in regard to the following:
4 Project emissions from vehicular and stationary sources
W Grading/Blasting and Construction
d) Compliance with federal and state standards as well as regional air quality
attainment plans.
3. The consultant shall identify the criteria used to determine significance; identify any
significant and less than significant, direct and indirect, impacts resulting from the project;
recommend appropriate mitigation measures as may be required; and, identify any impacts
remaining after implementation of the recommended mitigation measures.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The project site has the potential to contain archaeological and paleontological resources. The
1977 cultural resources evaluation prepared by RECON identified cultural resources sites within
2385-01

the project boundaries. However, the methods utilized in 1977 were less intensive than
currently required by the City.. The consultant shall prepare cultural resource reports for the
Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park project, the alternative alignments of onsite and offsite
Faraday Avenue and the onsite and offsite SAHI sewer line.
In addition, areas of the project site consist of soil formations which have a high potential to
contain fossils. Mass grading required for development of the proposed project may result in
potentially significant impacts to paleontological resources. These impacts may be mitigated to
below a level of significance by incorporation of a monitoring program and collection of fossils, if
any are identified during cutting.
The cultural resources report prepared by the consultant will be utilized as the basis for the cultural resources and paleontological resources section of the EIR and will address the
following tasks:
Tasks:
1. The consultant shall prepare a cultural resources report for the Cartsbad Oaks North
Business Park project, onsite and offsite alternative alignments of Faraday Avenue and the

TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION
Proiect Backqround
The industrial land uses proposed by the project will generate traffic both on and offsite and
have a corresponding change in the amount of traffic generated at these locations.’ The
proposed scope of the project has the potential to have traffic impacts on areas outside the City
of Carlsbad. As a result, a traffic analysis is required to evaluate the impacts of the proposed
project. WPA Engineering is currently preparing a traffic analysis for the proposed project that will serve as the basis for this section of the EIR. Third party review of the traffic analyses will
be conducted by the City’s consultant, Susan 0-Rourke, to ensure that it is consistent with the
City’s draft “Scope of Work for Traffic Impact Report” which is being utilized by major projects in
the vicinity of the project. The above mentioned “Scope of Work for Traffic Impact Report” is
attached.
2385-01

LAND USE COMPATIBILITY
Proiect Backaround
The Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park project including offsite Faraday Avenue and the SAHI
sewer requires a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Specific Plan, Tentative Map,
Hillside Development Permit, and a Special Use Permit. The City’s draft Habitat Management
Plan (HMP) for the property has established the areas to be preserved and those areas which
may be developed. The General Plan Amendment and the Zone Change proposed as a part of
the project would involve modifications to the existing land use and zoning designations to
reflect the increased areas of open space and the reduction in planned industrial categories
necessary to accommodate the HMP preserve boundaries.
Land uses adjacent to the project site include residential, industrial and vacant land. Existing
residential uses are located immediately to the east of the site within the City of Vista. Existing industrial and business park uses are located to the south of the site. Vacant land immediately
borders the site to the west and north with business park and residential uses in the project
vicinity to the east of the site. The proposed offsite Faraday Avenue extension and SAHI sewer
pipeline would extend to the west and north through areas characterized by vacant land,
agricultural land, and single family residential areas.

VISUAL AESTHETICS/GRADING
Proiect Backaround
The project site contains large variations in elevation because of the existing landforms which
include canyons and steep slopes. Large volumes of grading are proposed to develop the site.
In addition, grading is to occur in phases as described in the Specific Plan. Potential visual
impacts associated with cut and fill slopes in the hillside topography due to the ccnstruction of
streets and building pads, and the eventual construction of buildings, has the possibility of
creating significant grading/landform and aesthetic impacts.
Tasks:
1. The consultant shall analyze the proposed landform alteration for compliance with the

project; recommend appropriate mitigation measures as may be required; and, identify
any impacts remaining after implementation of the recommended mitigation measures.
WATER QUALITY/HYDROLOGY
The Specific Plan addresses proposed site drainage and issues associated with project runoff and Agua Hedionda Creek. All graded lots within the project site will be graded to direct
drainage into an onsite temporary desiltation basin and then directly into an underground
system that either connects to the major onsite drainage system or in some cases of small
drainage area, into a rock dissipater and then to a natural drainage swale. The primary onsite
system will extend within internal streets and offsite via Faraday Avenue and eventually into two
separate pollution control basins required prior to discharging into Agua Hedionda Creek. The
two pollution control basins are required to be constructed on the site by the City Master
Drainage Plan and as a filter to meet NPDES standards. The City has recently studied the
drainage basin as part of an overall flood control project related to the Ranch0 Carlsbad Mobile
Home Park downstream of the proposed project. The results of the City’s drainage study as
well as the necessary modifications and flood control facilities need to be incorporated into the
project.

study will utilize existing data from the County of San Diego the City’s Master Plan and other sources as provided by the City to obtain flow rates on the main channel of Agua Hedionda
Creek.
6: Landscape and Irrigation Plans
Landscape and irrigation plans will be provided for the roadway and all graded slopes. Areas
disturbed by construction will be revegetated.
7: Cost Estimates
A cost estimate will be prepared and submitted with the 70% plan submittal. The estimate will
include earthwork quantities. The estimate will then be updated with each subsequent
submittal.
8: Processing
Plans will be submitted to the City for plan check at the 70%, 90% and 100% completion levels. KHA will discuss comments with the City’s project manager and plan checkers as required to
obtain approval of the design.
9: Geotechnical Review
The 90% complete plans will be reviewed by the Geotechnical Engineer. This effort will consist
of geotechnical review of the plans to verify the geotechnical recommendations have been
properly incorporated into the project design. Specifically we propose to perform the following:
n Perform a geotechnical review of the project grading plans and grading specifications. The
review will be performed to:
n Confirm recommended subdrains, slope buttresses, and other remedial measures are
properly identified.
n Identify whether design information conflicts with the intent of the geotechnical
recommendations.

IO: UtiMy Coordination
The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with affected utility companies in conformance with the
Engineering Department Project Development Manual.
11: Schedule
The project schedule that was developed in the preliminary design phase will be updated on a
monthly basis and submitted with each monthly progress report.
12: Cross-sections
One set of cross sections of the roadway prism will be prepared at lOO-foot stations. Unless otherwise requested by the City, the cross sections will be provided with the 70% submittal.
13: Meetings
The Kimley-Horn team will attend up to eight monthly progress meetings at the City’s offices.
Each meeting will be documented by written minutes, which will distributed in draft form to
meeting participants to allow comment and revision if required.
5.2 Associated Utilities
1. Sewer siphon. The Buena Sanitation District is requesting that their existing 12”
sanitary sewer siphon be relocated within the proposed Faraday Avenue. The
proposed sewer will connect to the existing sewer located at the city limits to the
existing sewer at the proposed Faraday Avenue crossing of the existing siphon for a
total distance of approximately 5880 feet. The design effort includes plan and
profile sheets at a scale of 1”=40 for the siphon as well as a separate siphon detail
sheet. The effort does not include any design within the City of Vista or outside of
the proposed Faraday Avenue right-of-way.
2. Local sewer sewing the Tchang development. A sanitary sewer will be required
within the proposed Faraday Avenue to serve the proposed Tchang property. The
City of Carlsbad will provide the approved sewer study with the design flows. The
sewer will begin at the proposed eastern roadway and connect to the proposed
South Agua Hedionda Sewer for a total length of approximately 2200 feet. The
design effort includes IWO’ scale plan and profile sheets and a separate detail
sheet. The effort does not include any design outside of Faraday Avenue.
3. Domestic water line. A 12” PVC water line is proposed to be constructed within
the proposed Faraday Avenue from Orion Avenue east to the city limits for an
approximate length of 7400 feet. The design effort includes 1”=40’ scale plan and
2385-01
April 2000Page 45
profile sheets and associated details. The design will include appurtenances, fire
hydrants, and stub connection for the Tchang property. The City will provide design
flows and computer pipe system network analysis. This proposal assumes the
water system is in a single pressure zone and that no pressure reducing facility will
be required.
4. Reclaimed water line. The proposed reclaimed water line will have the same
assumption and limits as the domestic water line and will be shown on the same
plan and profile sheet.
