Consultant will conduct three field exploratory programs to assess and characterize existing conditions. a. Roadwav Investiaation: Consultant will advance 8 to 12 borings (8” in diameter hollow stem auger to a maximum depth of 20’) along the alignment of the proposed roadway improvements and the areas where existing slope failures along the drainage channel jeopardize loss of the roadway. Borings along the outside shoulder of the roadway will generally be advanced through the existing fill, through any underlying alluvial soils. Determine subgrade soil conditions at each boring location. Blow counts associated with driving of sampler will be recorded supplementing the assessment of the in-situ consistency of subgrade soils. Excavated bore holes will be backfilled with native cuttings or asphalt patch depending upon location of boring. As part of the geotechnical boring permit application for the County of San Diego, the consultant will evaluate the existing groundwater levels along the subject alignment and use published on-line information from the state, county and local water districts. In addition, the consultant will review geotechnical reports in the vicinity of the subject alignment from City and County sources. As part of the geotechnical evaluation of the alignment improvements, the consultant will perform field reconnaissance, geotechnical borings, and recover soil and bedrock samples. Based on the results of the field investigation and evaluation, if significant bedrock cuts in coherent bedrock are encountered, a rock hardness field evaluation will be performed in these areas utilizing backhoe test pits and logged by a geologist. b. Pavement Investiaation: Consultant will core the existing pavement at selected locations (20 to 30 to maximum depth of 5 feet) for the purpose of confirming actual pavement section thickness and recover pavement, base, and subgrade materials encountered. Consultant will advance 4 to 6 hand auger borings to a depth of 5 to 10 feet to characterize competent materials. If competent material is not reached, a recommendation will be made for further investigation. c.

Thirty-days prior to geotechnical survey activity, Consultant will submit a letter to the RWQCB in order to use the 401 -certified Nationwide Permit 6 (Survey Activities). The letter will include a brief description of the geotechnical activities and all associated figures (vicinity maps, site map, and general survey locations). A site visit will be made by Consultant's biologist as part of the effort. This Nationwide Permit has been pre-certified by the RWQCB and requires a 30-day notification to the RWQCB demonstrating that this project meets the requirements of this certification. Consultant will also a submit letter to CDFG with the same information provided in the RWQCB letter.

BV/B&H has reviewed the BSI study prepared February 4, 1991. This study indicated the drainage basin contributing flow to the project area is approximately 120 acres consisting of approximately 60 basins. The subbasins delineated in the BSI report will be used as a starting point for delineating the updated basins. Subdivision reports will be reviewed for new development in the project area to determine the potential existence of detention basins. A field review will be conducted throughout the drainage area to obtain information on new developments in the basin not documented in the BSI report. The basins will be delineated in AutoCAD and the Rational Method contained in the AES software package will be used to determine flow rates. AES accounts for variations in peak flow rates between subbasins ensuring the drainage system is not designed to be larger than necessary. Inlets will be sized using the County of San Diego inlet nomographs. During the preliminary H/H study, the pipes will be sized using Manning’s equation. The ditch to the east of the roadway will be analyzed using Manning’s equation and the results of the hydrology study to determine the 100 year flow velocity in the ditch in order to predict the erosive potential of the water in the ditch. 0 0 0 Drainage improvements will be shown on the base map. Hydrology calculations will be determined for Q100. Hydraulic calculations for QlOO will be performed to ascertain the capacity status of existing storm drains and preliminary sizing of proposed facilities using AES software and Manning’s equation. Consultant will prepare a draft drainage letter report for inclusion in the alignment and feasibility report. 0 008 Alternative AnalysidFeasibility Study (30% Design) 8.1 Alternative Analysis Utilizing the base map prepared in the prior task, the consultant will prepare alternatives as follows: 0 Hold existing alignment and widening to satisfy prime arterials standards. 0 In concert with above alignment, alternatives for grading vs. retaining walls or combinations thereof, will be incorporated. 0 Alternatives will focus primarily on the edge treatments of the widening, aesthetics and visual impacts of grading vs. walls with the objective of achieving a “natural” look within the existing corridor.
