Subject: Camino Capistrano and Del Obispo Street Intersection Project (CIP 111)
Additional Work Request for Out of Scope Work
Dear Mr. Abbeszadeh,
Willdan's priority is to provide the City of San Juan Capistrano quality services, meet the City's
project goals, fulfill our contract obligations and provide a complete design and bid and
construction package. As we continue to move forward on this project, we have reviewed the
original scope of work and have noted several design and project scope items that have evolved
since the approval of the original Personal Services Agreement and Scope of Work on October
4, 2005. The intersection of Del Obispo Street and Camino Capistrano had been involved in
much analysis, study and discussion and numerous concepts had been prepared. However, at
the time the Scope of Work was prepared, decisions were made to limit the intersection
improvements at that time. Jeff Marr, the previous Willdan Project Manager, had identified
some of these City directed additional work items in his letter to Brian Perry on September 15,
2006. Willdan would like to proceed with the City with a clear understanding of project goals,
process and expectations and to get the project back on a submittal and review schedule that
meets the City's goals. The original scope of work task description is listed below followed by
the additional work performed that was not included in or expanded from the original scope of
work. These items can be referenced to the attached Scope of Work and Exhibit.
1. Widening on the south side of Del Obispo Street.
Scope of Work: Improvements on Del Obispo Street were limited to median
modifications, driveway improvements and eastern sidewalk widening on Camino
Capistrano north of Del Obispo Street. Widening of the south side of Del Obispo Street
was not included (Scope of Work Exception/Addition, Item 1).
Additional Work: During design, the City directed Willdan to widen the south side of Del
Obispo Street west of Camino Capistrano and include this widening and associated
changes in the project plans. The project plans currently include the widening plan and
profile, curb return reconstruction, storm drain relocation plan and profile, street light

relocation, traffic signal relocation, utility relocations and other related improvements not
included in the scope of work.
2. Traffic signal pole relocations and fire station pre-emption.
Scope of Work: Traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Camino Capistrano
and Del Obispo Street were limited to shifting traffic heads and cutting new detector
loops. Design for relocation of a traffic signal pole due to street widening was located at
the intersection of Del Obispo Street and Plaza Drive (Scope of Work Phase III, Item 8).
Additional Work: As a result of widening the southern curb line of Del Obispo Street and
significant lane alignment changes, the traffic signal poles located at the southwest and
southeast corners of the intersection were required to be moved. The traffic signal plans
show these relocations and the associated traffic signal conduit, pull box and wiring
changes.
Additionally, the City requested the installation of emergency vehicle pre-emption (EVP)
system for the fire station to be included at the Del Obispo Street/Plaza Drive signal.
Original direction was to provide push-button pre-emption inside the fire station.
Subsequent City comments directed Willdan to change the push-button to a traffic signal
pole located outside the fire station with an EVP detector.
3. Driveway and sidewalk improvements north of C5 (EI Adobe Restaurant).
Scope of Work: Improvements were limited to the replacement of the EI Adobe
Restaurant driveway within the exiting street right of way. Sidewalk and curb and gutter
extension through the driveway was not included (Scope of Work Exception/Addition,
Item 3).
Additional Work: During design, the City directed Willdan to provide a new sidewalk
through this driveway and provide a new curb line transition and profile connecting the
existing sidewalk to the north to the southern sidewalk. Right of way acquisition is now
required on EI Adobe Restaurant property (APN 121-150-13).
4. Partial property acquisition of impacted parcels.
Scope of Work: Anticipated work included performing right of way engineering, and
preparation of legal descriptions and sketches for partial acquisition for six parcels
(Scope of Work Phase III, Item 15, and Phase IV, Item 2).
Additional Work: Based on the design direction identified in No. 3 above, as well as
changes to the sidewalk width and geometry, engineering and mapping services were
required for a seventh parcel (APN 121-150-13). Additionally, the legal descriptions
included sidewalk easement information for the required properties and temporary

construction easement limits were incorporated into the project plans for use by the City
in property owner descriptions. The existing right of way, proposed right of way,
sidewalk easements and temporary construction easements were marked/staked in the
field for all impacted properties to assist the City, property owners and the appraiser,
Preliminary and Final Appraisal Summary Statements were also prepared in addition to
the Appraisal Report as directed by the City. These documents were also revised to
change acquisition from sidewalk easements to fee simple.
5. Reconstruct sidewalk from driveways C3 to the south side of EI Adobe property.
Scope of Work: Sidewalk reconstruction was limited to replacing this existing sidewalk
to adjoin the reconstructed driveways C3, C4, and C5 and widening the sidewalk
adjacent to landscaping areas; Scope of Work Phase IV, Item 2 identifies APNs 121-
150-17, 121-150-18 and 121-150-23 as being impacted only in landscaping areas with
no permanent loss of parking spaces. The existing western curb and gutter was
expected to be protected in place. Impacts to the EI Adobe Plaza parking lot were not
anticipated, specifically impacts to parking spaces (Scope of Work Exception/Addition,
Item 5).
Additional Work: During design, the City directed Willdan to improve this sidewalk
corridor with an 8' wide sidewalk between driveways and a 10' width at driveways (6'
approach + 4' ADA sidewalk) and the inclusion of brick pavers instead of concrete. To
adjust the driveway and sidewalk grades for the widened sidewalk and to minimize the
grading into the adjacent parking lot area, modification of the western curb line profile
was required and a new curb line profile was generated. Resulting from DRC meetings,
the City has requested that this sidewalk be modified to include a meandering back of
walk requiring a design change. The sidewalk widening has impacted the EI Adobe
Plaza parking lot, including potential loss of parking; resolution of loss of parking will be
coordinated between the City and owner during the property acquisition process.
Related to this work, this City requested that all project sidewalks be changed from PCC
to brick pavers with alternates provided in the special provisions for stamped colored
concrete and PCC.
i
6. Left -Turn Pocket with Bridge Widening.
i
Scope of Work: Del Obispo Street median improvements between the railroad tracks
and Camino Capistrano for the left -turn pocket configuration is identified as occurring
with the Del Obispo Street Widening Project at Trabuco Creek on the Scope of Work
Exhibit. Significant improvements to this existing median were not anticipated; only
striping modifications adjacent to the raised median were expected (Scope of Work
Exhibit).

Additional Work: Concurrent with the City direction to provide the southern street
widening, the Del Obispo Street medians on the west leg were redesigned several times
to include a new left -turn pocket configuration into the EI Adobe Plaza, resulting in the
removal of the existing westernmost raised median.
Subsequently, the City has requested that this proposed westerly striped median be
replaced with a raised landscaped median that is to be coordinated with the OCTA
railroad crossing and median improvements.
7. Driveway improvements east side of Washington Mutual.
Scope of Work The extent of improvements on the Washington Mutual (WaMu)
property included driveway improvements and additional improvements were not
anticipated (Scope of Work Exception/Addition, Item 2).
Additional Work: Through initial City discussion with Plaza De Prosperidad (PDP) for
parking lot redesign, Willdan was directed to close the old WaMu drive-thru to provide
additional parking spaces and provide an area for replacement landscaping. Recently,
in association with the PDP parking lot redesign, the City has directed Willdan to remove
the previously designed drive-thru improvements from the project plans and landscape
concept plan.
8. Plaza De Prosperidad Parking Lot.
Scope of Work: Redesign of the PDP parking lot was expected and preparation of a
parking lot detail included. Willdan coordinated parking lot alternatives with the City and
generated at least three configurations for City and property owner review. The City
discussed these alternatives with the PDP property owners, and Willdan received
direction in December 2006 to proceed with inclusion of a preferred alternative. This
parking lot design was included in the removal and construction plans, signing and
striping plans, tree removal study and landscape concept plan.
Additional Work: The City has met with the PDP owners and it was determined that the
previous parking lot layout that utilized the WaMu drive-thru for replacement parking
spaces was no longer acceptable. Additionally, the City Design Review Committee
(DRC) stated that replacing all parking spaces on PDP property was primary and
minimizing tree removal in the parking lot area was secondary. The City directed
Willdan to prepare two additional parking lot layout alternatives utilizing these new
directives. Again the City met with PDP owners and stated that there is a preferred
alternative and has requested implementation of the new parking lot design into the
project plans. The City and Willdan concur that the addition of traffic loops to the new
parking lot area is not necessary.

Additionally, to protect existing trees along the PDP frontage, a retaining wall is
proposed along the back of walk.
9. Impacted Tree Study.
Scope of Work: A tree study was performed for the impacted trees. This study included
a field visit by an arborist to examine existing trees impacted by the proposed
improvements. The impacted areas included the Del Obispo Street medians, the Del
Obispo Street northern parkway and the PDP parking lot.
Additional Work: The redesign of the PDP parking lot required another examination of
the parking lot trees impacted and a revision to the tree study. Additionally, Willdan
recommends that a certified arborist provide tree replacement cost appraisals for the
PDP property for inclusion in the overall property acquisition appraisal.
10. Landscape Concepts and Plans.
Scope of Work: Preparation of the landscape concept plan was based on an initial field
meeting with City staff discussing tree removal, replacement and planting palettes. A
Landscape concept plan was prepared.
The primary landscaping improvements were expected to occur within the new project
right of way with consideration given to adjacent surroundings. Project landscaping on
private property and outside of the construction limits was limited to existing landscaped
areas physically impacted by construction work; the remaining landscaping would be
protected in place.
Additional Work: Subsequent to City meetings with the DRC and the PDP owners,
different direction was received than initially directed including plant species and layout.
Changes included the PDP parking lot layout and implementation of the "Nifty Fifty" plant
list for the entire project; the City planning department provided recommendations and
DRC comments were addressed. Subsequent to this revision and submittal, the DRC
and City staff provided another direction with broad comments. The landscape concept
plan was substantially revised per City direction. Additionally, the landscaping plan has
expanded to include planting on private property as directed by the City to provide
continuity with the new palette.
11. East Leg Plan Revisions
Additional Work: Willdan has met with the City to review project design constraints
associated with Right of Way acquisition along the northern side of Del Obispo Street
east of Camino Capistrano. Willdan reviewed design modifications with the City and
revised the project PS&E package including typical sections, demolition, plan and profile,

signing and striping, traffic signal plans to avoid property impacts in order to maintain the
project schedule.
12. Additional Meetings, Revisions and Support
Additional Work: Willdan anticipates that as the project moves forward there will be
continued discussion and meetings with adjacent property owners and the City. Willdan
anticipates that there may be a need for the preparation of exhibits and documents
outside of the planned PS&E preparation and submittal milestones for use by the City to
gain project concurrence. Willdan proposes establishing a budget to be used for
meetings attendance, preparation of exhibits and documents separate from the
construction drawings to be utilized on a time and material as -needed basis per the
direction of the City.
13. City Coordination and Primary Point of Contact. Willdan's primary point of contact at
the City is the project manager, Nisha Patel. Willdan's expectation is that Ms. Patel will
perform all coordination and correspondence for all aspects of the project not included in
Willdan's scope of work. This includes internal city department, property owner,
committee/commission, utility agency and environmental document coordination.
Compilation of comments and task direction should only be provided by the primary City
contact to minimize conflicts and maintain the line of communication.
14. PS&E Submittal Schedule. Three plan submittals for City processing, review and
comment at the preliminary, intermediate and final design phases are identified in Scope
of Work Phase V, Item 16. Due to the various changes in design and scope that have
occurred, numerous intermediate plan revisions and submittals have been made.
Recently the plans were updated to include the landscaping and irrigation plans
(approximately 90%) as well as implement city comments for the upcoming Planning
Commission meeting (10/28/08). Willdan will provide a Final submittal PS&E package
subsequent to incorporating any City directed Planning Commission comments. The
Final PS&E package will be revised following City review and a final bid package
submitted for City use and advertising purposes.
15. EI Adobe Plaza Driveway Analysis and NB Camino Capistrano Left Turn Lane
Evaluation (Phase Il, Item 4). Analysis of the EI Adobe Plaza driveway was included to
determine if any driveway locations and parking lot entrancelexit volumes impacted the
service of the Del Obispo Street/Camino Capistrano intersection. Willdan performed
traffic counts at the five driveways and analyzed the data. The data was provided to the
City and Willdan met with the City and the results were reviewed. The City concurred
that the existing driveways did not significantly impact intersection capacity and closing
the driveways was not desired.

Evaluation of the Camino Capistrano northbound left turn lane at Del Obispo Street and
the southbound left turn lane at Avenida Golondrina was included to determine if the
back-to-back left turn pockets on the south leg should be modified to increase the
northbound left turn lane storage capacity. Willdan performed the traffic counts and
analyzed the data. The data was provided to the City and Willdan met with the City and
the results were reviewed. The City concurred that the existing median geometry was
sufficient and modifying the storage lane length would not provide significant intersection
capacity improvements.
Based on the additional work efforts listed in the items above, Willdan has included a Scope of
Additional Work for the work performed and proposed. Willdan is looking forward to continuing
to serve the City of San Juan Capistrano on this important project. If you have any questions,
please contact me at (714) 978-8205.

aggregate base
C Collect subgrade sample for laboratory testing
D R -value test the representative subgrade sample
E Design proposed pavement section for the proposed widening
F Prepare a report presenting our findings, conclusions and recommendations.
4. Analyze five driveways on the northwest quadrant of the Camino Capistrano and Del
Obispo Street intersection that serve the EI Adobe Plaza. Traffic counts will be
conducted on three weekdays (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) between the
hours of 7-9 AM, 11 AM — 1 PM and 3-6 PM.
Evaluate the southbound left turn pocket on Camino Capistrano at Avenida
Golondrina to determine whether additional storage for the northbound left turn
pocket on Camino Capistrano at Del Obispo Street will be beneficial. Counts will be
conducted at the two study intersections of Camino Capistrano at Avenida
Golondrina and Camino Capistrano at Del Obispo Street on three consecutive
weekdays (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) between the hours of 7-9 AM, 11
AM — 1 PM and 3-6 PM. A queue count will also be conducted during these same
time periods for the northbound left turn pocket on Camino Capistrano at Del Obispo
Street and the southbound left turn pocket on Camino Capistrano at Avenida
Golondrina.
5. Provide environmental document support. This support will include an exhibit
0
showing the project boundaries and a project description. The required
environmental documentation will be prepared by others.
6. Prepare a Tree Study for the impacted trees within the project limits. This will
include a field visit by a licensed certified arborist to examine the existing trees that
will be impacted by the project and the preparation of an arborist report detailing the
impacts that may occur and determining if relocation and/or root pruning in lieu of
removal of the trees will be possible as well as economical.
Phase III - Preliminary Design
1. Develop a landscape motif that is congruent with the adjacent surroundings.
Prepare a landscape concept plan (colored rendering in plan view at 20 scale) that
will illustrate the following:
• Address basic design elements for the project, i.e., opportunities and
constraints.
• Address adjacent surroundings, i.e., interfacing with public right -of way and
commercial / private developments.
• Preserve monumental trees and/or other significant features.
• Planting palette suggestions.
• Address modifications to current irrigation systems to comply with the new
improvements within City and commercial / private property.
2. Prepare four photo simulations, two each at two locations, where improvements are
being made. The photo simulations will show existing conditions as well as
proposed conditions.
3. Submit the concept plan and/or photo simulations to the City and pertinent agencies
for review and comments. If necessary, present a final concept plan and/or final
photo simulation for final review and approval that addresses the comments from the
City. The construction documents for the parkway improvements will commence
after the City, pertinent agencies and commercial / private property owners have
reviewed and approved the concept drawings and/or photo simulations.
4. Provide civil engineering design services in accordance with the Standard
Specifications for Public Works Construction and the City of San Juan Capistrano
Design Criteria. All design drawings will be prepared utilizing AutoCAD.
5. Prepare a title sheet drawing conforming to City standards.
6. Develop typical cross-sections for the street improvements. Pertinent existing and
proposed information will be included.
7. Based on the above investigations and reports, develop four base plan and profile
drawings at V = 20' horizontal and 1 = 2' vertical scale. Title blocks will conform to
City standards.
A Plot existing survey data.
B Show construction centerline with stationing.
C Plot existing utilities and show the owner of such utility as available.
9
U
D Profile proposed curb and driveway improvements.
E Detail required driveway, sidewalk and parking lot improvements.
F Show water valve replacement including installation of three 8 -inch and one 10 -
inch resilient wedge gate valves and abandoning five.
8. Prepare traffic signal modification designs at the intersections of Camino Capistrano
at Del Obispo Street and Del Obispo Street at Plaza Drive. The plans will be
prepared in accordance with the City of San Juan Capistrano requirements and
Caltrans standards and specifications. At the Del Obispo Street and Camino
Capistrano intersection, traffic signal heads will be shifted on existing poles and
detector loops will be re -cut to coincide with new lane locations. No pole relocations
are expected. At the Del Obispo Street and Plaza Drive intersection, signal poles
will be relocated or new poles installed to accommodate new geometry and new
detector loop location designated. We assume that the City has current existing
signal plans to use as a base to add these design changes to. The plans will show
proposed improvements. The traffic signal plans will be prepared at a scale of
1 "=20'.
9. Prepare signing and striping design plans in accordance with the City of San Juan
Capistrano requirements and Caltrans standards and specifications. Willdan will
evaluate, as part of this process, the raised "pork -chop" island at the entrance to the
Plaza Del Obispo shopping center. The northbound left turn pocket length will also
be evaluated at the intersection of Del Obispo Street and Camino Capistrano to
determine if it can be extended using some of the area striped out at the intersection
of Camino Capistrano and Avenida Golondrina. The plans will provide the locations
and designation of existing and proposed signs for the street. The plans will also
address any striping that would be removed during the construction phase of the
project or is in conflict with the improvements.
The signing and striping plans will utilize the State of California (Caltrans) Standard
Plans and Standard Specifications, Caltrans Traffic Manual, the City of San Juan
Capistrano requirements and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD). The signing and striping plans will be prepared at a scale of 1 "=20'.
10. Prepare street lighting modification plans in accordance with the City of San Juan
Capistrano requirements and Caltrans standards and specifications. The street
lighting plan will address proposed, existing, removed and relocated electrical
equipment and appurtenances. The plans will be prepared at a scale of V=200'.
11. Traffic control during construction will be the responsibility of the Contractor. The
project special provisions will require the Contractor to prepare a traffic control plan
that conforms to MUTCD and WATCH criteria.
12. Prepare landscape plans in conformance with the approved concept plan. These
plans will be in the required format for final approval and will include proposed
irrigation and planting improvements. The irrigation modification plan will include
existing irrigation system(s) and the re -designed system to accommodate the new
roadway widening. Cutting and capping lateral lines, relocating and installing new
irrigation heads and other necessary equipment, and designing new irrigation
0 0
systems as necessary for the new planting areas will be included. The planting
modification plan will call out to remove and/or relocate trees, shrubs, and
groundcover and add new planting material as necessary for the modified planning
areas.
13. Prepare contract specifications and bid documents, using City "boilerplate," to
conform to applicable requirements of the City and applicable local agencies. The
specifications will supplement the current edition of the "Standard Specifications for
Public Works Construction."
14. Prepare preliminary engineer's quantity and construction cost estimates.
15. Perform right of way engineering for partial acquisition of six parcels.
A Discuss right of way requirements with City staff and obtain data needed for
acquisition work.
B Prepare legal descriptions and sketches for the acquisition parcels.
16.The PS&E package will be submitted to the City and other required agencies for
review and comment at three stages: preliminary, intermediate, and final. Final
PS&E will be submitted to utility companies with known facilities in the project area.
We will address comments received at the preliminary and intermediate milestones
and submit a complete, ready to bid, PS&E package to the City for final review and
approval.
17.Attend coordination meetings with City personnel at various times during the design
phase to obtain additional input and to review work.
Phase IV - Final Design
1. Based on the City, utility company and other agency comments and requirements,
revise and update the preliminary PS&E.
2. Appraise partial acquisition for six parcels. The Assessor Parcel Numbers for the
parcels to be appraised are referenced as follows:
121-150-17 668-242-02
121-150-18 668-242-14
121-150-23 668-242-16
The appraisal report produced will be a Complete Appraisal presented in a Summary
Report format and will comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the just compensation for
partial takings for acquisition purposes as of a current date of value. The taking
impacts only landscaping on five of the six parcels. On the sixth parcel, parking is
also impacted, but the parking lot can be modified so as to recapture any impacted
parking spaces. Since the takings do not impact any major improvements or result
in the permanent loss of parking or any other severance damages, the parcels will
be appraised as though vacant. Furthermore, this proposal is based on the
assumption the city will not require the landscape setbacks impacted by the project
to be reestablished. Moreover, if the city acquires temporary construction
easements, it is a basic assumption of the proposal that improvements within the
0 0
temporary construction easement area will be protected in place and or reestablish
in like kind by the city's contractor.
3. Prepare final plans, specifications and engineer's construction cost estimates in a
City approved format for construction bidding of the project.
4. Submit final PS&E to the City.
Data And Services Furnished by the City
1. List of utility companies, agencies, and districts serving the project area, including
the name, address and telephone number of their representatives.
2. Fees for permits and record information from utilities and other public agencies.
3. No fee encroachment permit for survey and geotechnical work.
4. Environmental documentation.
5. Title reports.
6. Coordination with affected property owners.
7. Traffic index to be used for pavement structural section design.
8. The proposed locations of water valve replacement and abandonment.
9. Right of way acquisition.
10. Bid document reproduction.
11. Advertising for bidding purposes.
12. Construction administration, inspection and staking.
13. Red line markups of as built changes for preparation of record drawings.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, Plans and
Specifications, Authorization to Receive Bids, and Approval of the Design
Addendum with Willdan Engineering for Del Obispo Street and Camino
Capistrano Intersection Improvement Project (CIP No. 111) (Willdan)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion,
1. Adopt a resolution approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Del Obispo
Street and Camino Capistrano Intersection Improvements;
2. Approve the plans and specifications;
3. Authorize the City Clerk to receive bids; and,
4. Approve the design addendum for Willdan Engineering.
SITUATION
Summary and Recommendation
Plans and specifications, Attachment 5, for the Del Obispo Street and Camino
Capistrano Intersection Improvements have been prepared. The City has also prepared
an initial study and determined the project qualifies for a Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND). Staff is requesting City Council approval of the MND, approval of the plans and
specifications, and authorization to receive bids. Approval of the design addendum for
additional work performed by Willdan is also requested.
Background
Capital Improvement Project (CIP No. 111) Del Obispo Street and Camino Capistrano
Intersection Improvements project will widen Del Obispo Street, modify and remove
existing medians, and provide dual left turn lanes, one through lane and combination
through/ right turn lane in the westbound direction (Attachment 1).

The project originally proposed a more extensive widening on the north side of Del
Obispo, east of Camino Capistrano. With input from the owners of the Plaza de
Prosperidad; LP, property located at 31877 Del Obispo Street, Planning Commission,
and the community to preserve fourteen trees on the Plaza property, staff has scaled
back the project. The reduced project scope proposes curb, gutter, and sidewalk
modifications only in front of Seaside Rancho property, which staff is in negotiations to
acquire presently. The reduced project scope will result in shorter west bound dual left
turn pockets and still provides delay time savings to the motorists using the intersection.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City's Environmental Administrator prepared an initial study pursuant to Section
15063 and 15064 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines,
issued an Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) pursuant to Section 15070 of those
guidelines. The Notice of Intent to adopt an MND has been posted pursuant to Section
15072 of those guidelines, and the City has otherwise complied with all applicable
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (1970). The public review period
began on October 28, 2008 and ended on November 27, 2008, and no comments were
received by the City during the public comment period. The Mitigated Negative
Declaration is provided attached as Attachment 3.
The project has been subsequently re -designed to lessen the extent of potentially
significant environmental impacts and the mitigation measures have been revised
accordingly to reflect the new design. All mitigation measures have been included in a
Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP) as Exhibit A to the draft resolution
approving the MND (Attachment 2).
COMMISSION REVIEW
This project has been reviewed by the Design Review Committee, Transportation
Commission, and the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission had
recommended reduction of proposed tree removals in the original project and the scaled
back project has met the desired objective.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
April 21, 2009
This project has secured GMA 11 Grant Funding of $150,000 through Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA), $140,000 of which is for construction. To keep the
funding, we must award a construction contract by June 30, 2009. We have also
secured $250,000 of Proposition 1B Grant Funding with Orange County. Construction
costs will be reduced with the elimination of the construction in front of the Plaza de
Prosperidad site.
We have received a project design addendum (Attachment 4) from Willdan Engineering.
Additional design work was necessary since the project scope did change on two
different occasions, and the changes include:
1.) Del Obispo Street widening- south side
2.) Traffic signal pole relocation and modifications
3.) New sidewalk and curb line at EI Adobe Restaurant driveway
4.) Additional property appraisal work
5.) Widening Camino Capistrano sidewalk, reconstructing with
providing new curb line profile
6.) Del Obispo Street raised median design
7.) Washington Mutual drive-thru modifications
8.) Plaza De Prosperidad parking lot redesign
9.) Revisions to tree study
10.) Modifications to landscape concept plan
11.) On-going meetings, plan revisions and support
12.) Project management
brick pavers and
The additional work was a result of progression of the design, and accommodating the
original needs of the Plaza de Prosperidad. Willdan has requested $75,390 for the
additional work performed for this project. There are sufficient funds in the design
budget to pay for this addendum.
NOTIFICATION
Pursuant to Title 9, Land Use Code, Section 9-2.302, Public Meetings, Administrative
Policy 409, and Community Development Department Policy 510, a public meeting
notice has been mailed to adjoining property owners and interested parties.

6.. PROJECT TITLE: Capital Improvement Project (CIP)111, Camino Capistrano and
Del Obispo Street Widening.
7. DESCRIPTION: The proposed intersection improvement project consists of
improvements identified in the Traffic Congestion Relief Program (TCRP) and is
consistent with the pedestrian -oriented goals identified by Blue Ribbon Panel for
the Downtown Village Core by improving vehicular and pedestrian circulation along
these two corridors. The project includes the following elements:
• Del Obispo Street is being widened and the existing medians modified and/or
removed to provide for dual left -turn lanes, one through lane and one
combination through/right turn lane in the westbound direction;
• Portions of the sidewalk along Del Obispo Street are being reconstructed to
provide ADA compliant sidewalks and driveways.
• The Camino Capistrano western sidewalk north of Del Obispo Street is being
reconstructed and widened to provide wider sidewalks and ADA compliant
driveways. The northern "Mission Village Plaza" (Ross Dress for Less)
driveway located south of Del Obispo Street is being reconstructed to provide
ADA compliance.
Right-of-way acquisition is needed to acquire portions of seven privately -owned
parcels, primarily along Del Obispo Street. Staff has been coordinating with each of
the affected property owners with the objective of securing right-of-way acquisition
through a "friendly" (undisputed) process. An arborist report has been completed
and recommends removal of poor to fair condition, median and parkway trees. New
landscaping is proposed within the project limits to compensate for the removal of
existing landscaping. Traffic signal modifications are required at the intersection in
conjunction with the widened roadway and new lane configurations in order to
maximize the efficiency and operational capacity of the intersection. Design
modifications and re -design of the Plaza de Prosperidad parking lot and the
Washington Mutual access drive. (parking area) will also be necessary to
accommodate planned widening along the north edge of Del Obispo Street east of
Camino Capistrano. The improvements associated with this CIP project must be

14. DETERMINATION. (To be completed by lead agency) Based on this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed projectCOULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,
and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION, will be prepared.
{ I find that although,the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been
made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
will be prepared.
In I find that the proposed project.MAY have a significant'effect on the. environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact' or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)
has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the eariiet analysis as described on
attached sheets. A SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but
it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could haves significant effect on the environment,.
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier
EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been
avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, Including
revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further
is required.

Initial_Study/Environmental Checklist -5- City of San Juan Capistrano California
16. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
This section analyzes the potential environmental impacts which may result from the proposed project.
For the evaluation of potential impacts, the questions in the Initial Study Checklist (Section 2) are stated
and answers are provided according to the analysis undertaken as part of the Initial Study. The analysis
considers the project's short-term impacts (construction -related), and its operational or day -today
impacts. For each question, the following should be provided:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the Information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question.
A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault
rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors
as well as general standards (e.g., the project wlllnot expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based
on a project -specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, Including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3) Once the City has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers
must indicate whether the Impact Is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation; or less
than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate If there is substantial evidence that an
effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the
determination Is made, an. EIR Is required.
4)- "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation- Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less Than Significant Impact" The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier
Analyses," as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuanttothe tiering, program EIR,orother CEQAprocess, an
effect has been adequately analyzed In an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D).
In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation, measures which were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6) Incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general
plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where,
appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
7) Include a source list and list of individuals contacted or consulted.
6)- This form is consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines and all Initial
Studies performed on projects within the city must use this format
9) The explanation of each issue should identify, a) the significance criteriaor threshold, if any, used to
evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less
than significance.

a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact. The General Plan Community Design
Element designates all arterial streets within the City as "scenic corridors," but does notestablish specific
"scenic vistas." The General Plan policies seek to assure that arterial street corridors are designed and
improved to maintain positive or beneficial aesthetic experience. The project limits do not include and
scenic vistas or views. Shoff -term construction -related aesthetic impacts would consist primarily of the
presence of construction equipment, andeddidonal signage and warning markers on roadways. Aesthetic
resources would not be damaged or diminished as a result of construction -related activities. These short-
term impacts are temporary and would cease upon project completion. Therefore, the project will have no
impact on scenic vistas.
b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but.notilmited to, trees rockoutcroppings, and historic
buildings along a state scenic highway? No Impact. Because the project area is not a state scenic
highway, the project will have no impact on scenic resources along a State -designated highway.
c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character orquality of the site and its surroundings? Less Than
Significant Impact with Mittgatfon. The City's General Plan seeks to protect and preserve existing trees
as important elements of the City's visual and environmental character and Title 9, Land Use Code
includes provisions establishing criteria for the removal of existing mature trees. Also, the City's
Architectural Design Guidelines promote the use of a California native landscape palette.
The demolition plans for the proposed project Indicate the removal of thirty-five (35) existing trees with a
diameter of 6 inches or greater. Existing Sycamores within the Del Obispo Street median to the east and
west of Camino Capistrano Would be removed. Three specimen tees (Tristahias-Brisbane Box) would be
removed from the Washington Mutual (WaMu) Bank site, and fourteen tees (4 London Plane Sycamores
and 10 Canary Island Pines) would require removal from the Plaza de Prosperidad site. The tree removals
from the two properties are necessary to accommodate planned widening along the north edge of Del
Obispo Street. -
The removal of the three trees from the Washington Mutual (WaMu) Bank site results in a relatively minor
change in the visual character of the surrounding area due to the fact that they are generally located
internal to the site. Their removal is largely mitigated by the remaining trees being preserved and the
addition of new landscaping. However, the removal of the eleven existing trees from the Plaza de
Prosperidad would substantially alterthe visual character of the Plaza site and the Del Obispo Streetview
corridor because the trees screen and shade the existing parking lot and provide visual relief along the
street frontage. The removal of these trees constitutes a potentially significant impact that necessitates
mitigation.

initial Study/Environmental Che=-ldist -7- City of San Juan Capistrano California
Mitigation Measure A-1: The final landscape plan shall provide for the replanting of replacement
trees on the Plaza de Prospeddad site at a ratio of 1:1, or if inadequate planting area results in a less
than 1:1 replacement ratio, the City may. provide appropriate compensation to be negotiated between
the City and Plaza de Prosperldad . Such replacement trees shall consist of a California native or
friendly species listed on the City's approved plant palette. Replacement trees will consist of a mix of
24 Inch box, 36 inch box, and 46 inch box specimens or larger, except where the planting area would
only accommodate a 15 gallon tree.
Mitigation Measure A-2: The final landscape plan will be subject to review and approval of the
Planning Director or his designee who may refer the plan to the Design Review Committee for review
and recommendation. Prior to consideration of approval of the final landscape plan, said plan shall be
provided to the adjoining property owners, Washington Mutual (WaMu) Bank and Plaza de
Prosperidad for their review and comment at least ten (10) days before final approval. Should the
adjoining property owners decline to respond in writing to the City within 10 days, such inaction will be
deemed acceptance of the plan.
Because the City cannot legally impose this mitigation measure, Section 15126.4(a)(5) of CEQA provides
that this mitigation measure need not be proposed or analyzed. Consequently, should thaproperty owners
and the City be unable to come to an agreement over the nature and extent of such landscape
improvements, the City would retain the legal authority to move forward with the planned street widening
improvements with no further obligation to address the landscaping Issue for the adjoining private
properties, and landscaping shall be limited to the public right-of-way (note: under this scenario, the City
would amend the project design so that minimal public right-of-way acquisition would be necessary to
Implement the widening)..
d.. Create anew source of substantial light orglare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area? No Impact. The proposed project would not create new significant source of lighting. Title 9,
Land Use Code requires that all lighting use shielded luminaries with glare control to prevent light spillover
onto adjacent areas. Therefore, the project would have no light or glare Impacts.
a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique farmland, orFarmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown
on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Agency; to non-agrlcultural use? No Impact Designated land uses within theproject area do
not include agricultural uses and project Implementation would not res41t in conversion of existing
farmland to non-agricultural uses. Therefore, the project does not affectan agricultural resource area and
thus does not impact designated Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance. -

within the project area and no WIllamson Act contracts apply. Therefore, implementation of the project
would not result in any conflicts with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract. No
impacts are'anticipated in this, regard.
c. Involve other changes in the. existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? No Impact. As previously stated, the proposed project
area is not located within an agricultural area. Thus, implementation of this project would not result in,
changes in the environment, which would result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use. No
Impacts are anticipated in this regard.
a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air qualityplan? No Impact. The project site is
located within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), which is governed bythe South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD). A consistency determination is important_in local agency project review
by comparing local projects to the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) in several ways. It fulfills the
CEQA goal of fully informing local agency decision makers of the environmental costs of the project under
consideration at a stage early enough to ensure that air quality concerns are addressed. The SCAQMD's
CEQA Handbook states that "New or amended GP Elements (including land use zoning and density
amendments), Specific Plans, and significant projects must be analyzed for consistency with the AQMP."
Strict consistency with all aspects of the plan is usually not required. A proposed project should be
considered to be consistent with the plan if it furthers one or more policies and does not obstruct other
policies. The Handbook identifies two key indicators of consistency:
• Whether the project will result In an increase in the frequencyorseverity of existing air quality
violations or cause or contribute to new violations, or delay timely attainment of national
ambient air quality, standards or the interim emission reductions specified in the AQMP
(except as provided for CO in Section 9.4 forrelocating CO hot spots).
• Whether the project will exceed the assumptions in the AQMPIn 2010 or increments based
on the year of project build -out and phase.
AQMD requires that "New or amended GP Elements, including land use zoning and density amendments;
Specific Plans, and significant projects" be subject to consistency review. Because the proposed project
does not fall Into any of the three categories, the project is exempt from consistency review and will not
conflict with or obstruct implementation of the South Coast Air Quality Management Plan (SCAQMP).

SCAQMD, in the °1993 CEQA Air Quality Handbook", established significance thresholds to assess the
Impact of project related air pollutant emissions. Table 1 presents these significance thresholds
recommended by the SCAQMD for short-term (i.e., construction) and long-term (i.e., operational)
emissions. A project with daily emission rates below these thresholds is considered to have a less than
significant effect on air quality. Individual lead agencies may determine if the SCAQMD thresholds are
appropriate for their projects. The City recognizes the SCAQMD thresholds as the basis for determining if
a project has a potentially significant impact on regional air quality.

In addition to the regional pollutant emissions thresholds identified In the Table 1, the SCAQMD has also.
developed a localized significance threshold (LST) methodology to estimate mass emission rates for each
source receptor area (SRA). The use of LSTs is voluntary, to be implemented at the discretion of local public
agencies acting as a lead agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). LSTs would
only apply to'projects that must undergo an environmental analysis pursuant to CEQA or the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and are five acres or less. Because current methodologies adequately
address potential air quality impacts and also assure for uniform and equitable treatment of air quality impacts,
the City does not evaluate air emissions using the localized significance threshold (LST) methodology.
CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS
Short-term minor impacts associated with the demolitieon, site grading, construction, and finishing (architectural
coatings and asphalt) phases may result in local nuisances associated with increased dusttparticulate levels.
Construction activities would result in criteria pollutant emissions'from stationary and mobile equipment,,
including material delivery trucks and worker vehicles to and from the project site. This would be a temporary
construction impact, which would. exist on a short-term basis during construction and would cease upon
completion of construction. Temporary construction related air quality Impacts would include:
• Particulate {fugitive dust and PM10) emissions from clearing and grading activities on-site;
P Off-site air pollutant emissions at the power plant(s) serving the site, while temporary power lines
are needed to operate construction equipment and provide lighting;
Exhaust emissions and potential odors from the construction equipment used on-site as well as
the vehicles used to transport materials to and from the site; and
Exhaust emissions from the motor vehicles of the construction crew.

Diesel Particulate Matter Emissions During Construction
In 1998, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) identified particulate matter from diesel -fueled engines
(Diesel Particulate Matter or DPM) as a Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC). The. majority of the heavy
construction equipment used during construction would typically be diesel fueled and emit DPM. Impacts
from toxic substances are related to cumulative exposure and are assessed over a 70 -year period.
Cancer risk is expressed as the maximum number of new cases of cancer projected to occur in a
population of one million people due to exposure to the cancer-causing substance over a 70 -year lifetime
(California Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, Guide
to Health Risk Assessment.) Demolition, grading/excavation and paving for the project, when the peak
diesel exhaust emissions would occur, is expected to take approximately six weeks. Because of the
relatively short duration of construction compared to a 70 -year lifespan, diesel emissions resulting from
the construction of the project are not expected.to result in a significant DPM impact.
Based on this analysis, project construction will not exceed AQMD thresholds and therefore, will not
violate State or Federal air quality standards or contribute to an existing air quality violation in the air basin
as only minor amounts of earth movement is proposed. However, in order to further reduce construction
equipment operational emissions, all vehicles and construction equipment would be required to be
equipped with state -mandated emission control devices. Therefore, project implementation would not
result in locally elevated levels of regulated air emissions in close proximity to sensitive receptors.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Global warming poses a potential threat to the economic well-being,.public health, natural resources, and
the environment of California. The potential adverse impacts of global warming include the exacerbation
of air quality problems, a reduction in the quality and supply of water to the state from the Sierra
snowpack, a rise in sea levels resulting in the displacement of thousands of coastal businesses and
residences, damage to marine ecosystems and the natural environment, and an Increase in the
incidences of infectious diseases, asthma, and other human health-related problems.
The. State Legislature has directed the California Air Resources Board to consult with the Public Utilities .
Commission in the development of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction measures, including limits
on emissions of greenhouse gases applied to electricity and natural gas providers regulated by the Public
Utilities Commission. The Legislature has also directed the California Air Resources Board to assure that
such measures meet the statewide emissions limits for greenhouse gases to be established pursuant to
Assembly Bill 32. Consistent with the legislative policy established by AB32, the proposed project has
been evaluated to estimate greenhouse gas emissions, in particular, carbon dioxide (CO2). These
emissions have been estimated for the construction phase of the project:

c. Resultin a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
non-altainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing
emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? No Impact. Refer to Responses
a) and b) above.
d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? No Impact, Sensitive populations
(i.e., children, senior citizens and acutely or chronically Ill people) are moresusceptible to the effects of air
pollution than are the general population. Land uses considered sensitive receptors typically include
residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare centers, hospitals, convalescent homes, and retirement
homes. There are no sensitive receptors in proximity to the project site.
As part of the SCAQMD's environmental justice program, attention was focused on localized effects of air
quality. In accordance with Governing Board direction, SCAQMD staff developed localized significance
threshold (LST) methodology and mass rate look -up tables by source receptor area (SRA) that can be
used to determine whether or not a project may generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts.
These are the maximum emissions from a project that will not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
the most stringent applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard, and are developed based on
the ambient concentrations of that pollutant for each source receptor area. The LST methodology is
described in "Final Localized Significance Threshold Methodology" dated June 2003 by the SCAQMD.
The LST methodology presents mass emission rates for each SRA, for project sizes of 1, 2, and 5 acres,
and nearest receptor distances of 25, 50, 100, 200, and 500 meters. For project sizes between the values
given, or withreceptors at distances between the given receptors, the methodology uses linear
interpolation to determine the thresholds. If receptors are within 25 meters of the site, the methodology
i
provides that the threshold for the 25 -meter distance should be used.
Because the project area that will be subject to demolition, grading, construction and paving is
substantially less than five acres, the project is exempt from the localized significance threshold (LST)
methodology analysis.

as an "amhaeologlcally or historically sensitive area"
Due to the highly disturbed nature of the project area, there is low potential for sub -surface resources to
be present. However, the relatively proximity to the historical downtown creates the potential to encounter
resources during construction. To mitigate potential impacts to historic and archaeologic resources, the
following mitigation measure is necessary:
Mitigation Measure CR -1: Prior to issuance of any grading or building, the applicant will retain the
services of a RPA (Register of Professional Archeologists) -certified archeologist who will monitor all
grading and excavation for potential impacts on cultural resources including archeological,
paleontological, and historic resources. Also, the applicant will provide an executed contract for
services with a RPA -certified archeologist including a scope -of -work which provides for
comprehensive monitoring; a contingency for assessment, recovery, and/or evaluation; and the
preparation of a technical memoranda or report.
If historic and/or cultural resources are encountered during grading and/or building activities, the
monitoring RPA archeologist may cease any grading and/or building construction activities, subject to
confirmation by the City's Environmental Administrator (EA), to allow for preliminary assessment,
evaluation of any cultural resources, and/or recovery. The archeological monitor or Environmental
Administrator (EA) may allow grading activity to proceed at other locations on the project site which
would not interfere with the assessment of uncovered cultural resources.
Prior to occupancy permit Issuance, the project will, submit a technical memorandum or cultural
resources report which details archeological monitoring efforts, findings, analysis, and conclusions
consistent with City Council Policy #601 and subject to review and approval of the Planning Director.

Initial StudvlEnvironmental ChoakAst -15- City of San Juan Capistrano California
Southern California is a seismically active region likely to experience, on average, one earthquake of
Magnitude 7.0, and ten (10) earthquakes of Magnitude 6.0 over a period of 10 years. Active faults are
those faults that are considered likely to undergo renewed movement within a period of concern to
humans. These include faults that are currently slipping, those that display earthquake activity, and those
that have historical surface rupture. The California Geological Survey (CGS) defines active faults as
those which have had surface displacement within Holocene times (about the last 11,000 years). Such
displacement can be recognized by the existence of sharp cliffs in young alluvium, un -weathered terraces,
and offset modem stream courses. Potentially active faults are those believed to have generated
earthquakes during the Quaternary period, but.prlor to Holocene times.
There are several active and potentially active fault zones that could affect the project site. The faults
within these zones include the Newport -Inglewood, Whittier, San Andreas, San Jacinto, Malibu -Coast -
Raymond, Palos Verdes, San Gabriel, and Sierra Madre -Santa Susana-Cucamonga faults. The proposed
project would be required to be in conformance with the Uniform Building Code (UBC), the City's Seismic
Hazard Mitigation Ordinance, and other applicable standards. Conformance with standard engineering
practices and design criteria would reduce the effects of seismic groundshaking to less than significant
levels.
Liquefaction is the loss of strength of cohesionless soils when the pore water pressure in the soil becomes
,equal to the confining pressure. Liquefaction generally occurs as a 'quicksand" type of ground failure
caused by strong groundshaking. The primary factors influencing liquefaction potential Include
groundwater, soil type, relative density of the sandy soils, confining pressure, and the intensity and
duration of groundshaking. According to the City of San Juan Capistrano Genera/Plan, dated December
14, 1999, the project area is not susceptible to liquefaction hazards.
Landslides are mass movements of the ground that include rock falls, relatively shallow slumping and
sliding of soil, and deeper rotational or transitional movement of soil or rock. Landsliding is considered
likely within the Capistrano Formation which comprises much of the City's hillside slopes, However,
according to the City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan, the project site is not located within a known
or highly suspected landslide area. Further, site stabilization and soil compaction requirements required
by project geotechnical investigation and design parameters established by the most recent UBC and the
City's Seismic Hazard Mitigation Ordinance would reduce any potential Impacts to less than Significant
levels.
b. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? No Impact. Grading and trenching during the
construction phase of the project would displace soils and tempporarily increase the potential for soils to be
subject to wind and water erosion. The contractor will be required to comply with standard engineering
practices for erosion control and a qualified soils engineer will monitor soil compaction during construction.
Soil erosion Impacts are not anticipated.
c. Be located on a geologic'unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the
project, and potentially result In on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or
collapse? No Impact. 'No water extractions or similar practices are anticipated to be necessary that are
typically associated with project -related subsidence effects. In addition, surface matedal.which would be
disrupted/displaced would be balanced and re -compacted on-site during project construction. Adherence
to standard engineering practices would result in no impacts.
d. Be located on expansive soil, as defined In Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1997), creating
substantial risks to life or property? No Impact. According to the Orange County and Western Part of
Riverside County Soil Survey, dated September 1978, the project area soil association has a low shrink -
swell potential. Farther, adherence to standard engineering practices contained within the most recent
UBC will essentially eliminate any potential Impact
e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal
systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? No Impact. The proposed
project does not include the implementation of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems.

a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Potentially Significant Impact
Unless Mitigated. Construction of the proposed project may require temporary construction dewatering
for flushing of the pipeline with water to clean the pipesprior to placing the facilities in service. If drainage
is necessary, the contractor will be required to obtain and comply with the requirements of a groundwater
dewatering discharge permit and/or wastewater permit as required by the Regional Water Quality Control
Board (RWQCB). Compliance with applicable RWQCB permit requirements would result in less than
significant Impacts to water quality.
Additional impacts related to water, quality would range over three different phases of project
implementation: 1) during the earthwork and construction phase, when the potential for erosion, siltation
and sedimentation into on-site drainages would be the greatest; 2) following construction, prior to the
establishment of ground cover, when the erosion potential may remain relatively high; and 3) following
completion of the project, when impacts related to sedimentation would decrease markedly, but those
associated with site runoff would increase. .
Compliance with the statewide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit
for Storm Water Discharges'Associated with Construction Activity would prevent stormwater pollution from
impacting waters of the U.S. In the vicinity of the project site. Implementation of the mitigation measures
identified below would reduce potential water quality impacts to less than significant levels.
Mitigation Measure WQ-1: Prior to the start of construction, the project shall submit to the City, for
review and approval, a Stormwater Pollution prevention Plan (SWPPP) which shall emphasize
structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) In compliance with NPDES
Program requirements. Specific measures shall include:
I. Siltation of drainage devices shall be handled through a maintenance program to remove
silt/dirt from channels and parking areas.
ii. Surplus or waste material from construction shall not be placed in drainage ways.
iii. All loose piles of soil, silt, clay, sand, debris, or other earthen materials shall be protected in
a reasonable manner to eliminate any discharge to waters of the State.
iv. During construction, temporary gravel dikes shalt be used as necessary to prevent
discharge of earthen materials from the site during periods of precipitation or runoff.
v. Stabilizing agents such as straw, wood chips and/or soli sealant/dust palative shall be used
during the Interim period after grading in order to strengthen exposed soil until permanent
solutions are implemented.
vi. Replanted and re -landscaped areas shall be maintained in order to assure adequate
growth and root development.
b. SuOstariffallydeplete groundwater supplies orintertere substantially with groundwater recharge such that

uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? No Impact The project would not have the
potential to substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge. No
significant impacts are anticipated to occur.
c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattem of the site or area, including through the alteration of the
course of stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site?
No Impact. The project may result in a small increase in the amount of Impermeable surface area that
could slightly increase runoff. No changes In drainage patterns associated with the proposed project are
planned nor anticipated to occur.
d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the
course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner
which would result in flooding on- or offsite? No impact. Refer to Response c., above.
a. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater
drainage systems orprovide substantial additionalsources olpollutedrunofF.? No impact Constructionof
proposed improvements may result in minor changes In the amount of runoff due to a slight increase in
.the amount of impermeable surface area within the project site. Surface runoff velocities, volumes and
peak flow rates would slightly increase due to the marginal increase in impervious surfaces. However,
due to the limited area of road widening, the proposed project would not have the capacity to create or
contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage
systems.
Otherwise substantially degrade waterquality? No Impact. Discharge from the proposed project through
stormwater facilities would consist of non -point sources. Stormwater quality is generally affected by the
length of time since the last rainfall, rainfall intensity, urban uses of the area, and the quantity of
transported sediment. Typical urban water quality pollutants usually result from motorvehicle operations,
oil and grease residues, fertilizer/pesticide uses,, and careless material storage and handling. Majorityof
pollutant loads are usually washed away during the first flush of the storm occurring after the dry -season
period. However, due to the nature of the proposed projectwhich involves a minor increase in Impervious
surface, potential impacts would not be significant

does not propose to place housing in the a 100 -year flood hazard area. Therefore, no flood related
impacts -would occur.
h. Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? No
Impact The project site is not located within a 100 -year flood hazard area.
i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including
flooding as a result of the failure of a levee ordam? No Impact. As previously stated, the project does not
propose elements that would alter drainage nor contribute to the failure of a levee or dam, and therefore,
the project would not expose people or structures to loss as a result
j. Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? No Impact There are no water bodies or geographical
features in the project area that could result in a seiche, tsunami or mudflow.
k. Result in an increase in pollutant discharges to receiving waters? Consider waterquaW paremeters such
as temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and other typical stormwater pollutants (e.g. heavy metals,
pathogens petroleum derivatives, synthettoorganics, sediment nutrients, oxygen-darriandingsubstances,
and trash)? No Impact. The project would not result In an increase in pollutant discharges. The quantity
and composition of "first -flush" street pollution would remain essentially the same.
1. Result in significant altematign of receiving water quality during or following construction? No Impact
During constriction, erosion control will be provided on-site to protect water quality. Operation is not
anticipated to result in any water quality impacts.

wetland waters? No impact The project would not discharge directly Into surface waters nor Involve
operational characteristics that would result in pollutant discharges Into such waters including pesticides,
herbicides, fertilizers and similar chemicals.
s. Have a potentially significant adverse impact on groundwater quality? No Impact. The project site does
not involve excavation, drilling, or cuts that could intercept or affect groundwater, and does not Involve
sub -surface fuel tanks or similar features that could affect groundwater.
t Cause or contribute to an. exceedance of applicable surface or groundwater receiving water quality
objectives or degradation of beneficial uses? No Impact The proposed project will not result in any
violation of applicable waterquality standards established bythe Clean WaterAct and implemented by the
San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) through the regional National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.'
u. Impact aquatic, wettend, ornparian habitat? No Impact. See response to Section IV.b. of this document

a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local
general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other egancies7 Potentially Significant
Impact Unless Mitigated. The proposed project would create a short-term impact in terms of
construction noise. Noise generated, by construction and demolition equipment, including trucks,
backhoes and other equipment, may temporarily impact nearby sensitive receptors. As a general rule,
construction noise reaches levels of about 92 dBA (CNEL) at 50 feet from the source. Pursuant to the
City's Noise Ordinance standards, construction activities would be limited to certain days of the week and
hours of the day for the duration of construction. Also, all vehicles and equipment will be required to use
available noise suppression devices and be equipped with mufflers during construction activities. Due to
the restricted hours, equipment restrictions, and relatively short period of construction, noise resulting
from_ construction and demolition related activities would be less than significant with the following
mitigation measures:
Mitigation Measure N-1: Noise sources associated with construction, repairs, remodeling, or the

from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, or from 830 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Construction is prohibited at any time on Sunday or a Federal holiday.
Mitigation Measure N-2: Equipment will use available noise suppression devices and property
maintained mufflers. Construction noise will be reduced by using quiet or "new technology',
equipment, particularly thequieting of exhaust noises by use of improved mufflers where feasible. All
internal combustion engines used at the Project site will be equipped with the type of muffler
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. In addition, all equipment will be maintained in good

Incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Cess Than Significant Impact. The existing Plaza de
Prosperidad entrance to Del Obispo Street is served by a commercial entrance design which does not
meet current standards and will be re -constructed accordingly to meet current standards as part of the
project The shallow, steep grade of the apron can result in motor vehicles, especially those traveling at
the posted speed, to strike the vehicle's undercarriage on the street or apron. The existing design results
in most traffic, familiar with the design, to slow substantially below the posted speed limit when using the
driveway; By doing so, the operational capacity of the intersection is slightly reduced, butstill meets City
standards. However, the operational Impact of the existing entrance design is not an impact associated
with the proposed project. In fact, the project provides an opportunity to improve the current operational
capacity of the intersection by upgrading the Plaza de Prosperidad entrance. Consequently, the proposed
entrance re -design would improve the intersection's operational capacity. The following "project design
feature" is proposed by the City.
Project Design Feature T-1: The existing Plaza de Prosperidad entrance to Del Obispo Street will
be designed and reconstructed to meet the City's current geometric design standards as established
by the Public Facilities Design Standards of the City of San Juan Capistrano to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer or their designee.
The Plaza de Prosperidad owners have cited concern that the reconstruction of the Plaza de Prosperidad
entrance to Del Obispo Street could result in an increase in traffic speeds on the Plaza de Prosperidad
driveway which could be a potential hazard to pedestrians. Because the existing Del Obispo Street
driveway requires vehicles to slow considerably, the existing entrance serves to marginally reduce
driveway speeds. While driver speeds may slightly increase, they would be limited by the geometric
design of the existing access driveway and so, the marginal increase in speed constitute a less than
significant impact. However, in order to allay the Plaza de Prosperidad propertyownees concerns, current
motor vehicle speeds couldbe maintained through the installation of additional, extraordinary
Improvements such as speed,bumps/humps, pavement marking, and/or enhanced pavement The
following "project design feature" is proposed by the City:
Project Design Feature T-2: While the reconstructed entrance is an improvement over existing
conditions and would not present anysafety concerns, the City will coordinate with the Plaza de
Prosperidad owners on final design pians and explore whetherto include appropriate driveway speed
controls including speed humps/bumps, pavement marking, and/or an enhanced pedestrian
crosswalk on the driveway (extend and enlarge the area of the existing stamped/colored concrete)
betweenthe private parking and the building entrance directly to the north of the Del Obispo Street
entrance. The City will provide Plaza de Prosperidad with a reasonable amount of time to reviewand
comment on said plan. Potential Improvements are only intended to allay the owner's concerns and
are not required to mitigate any identified environmental impact under California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA),
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? No Impact Adequate emergency access shall be provided
during both short-term construction and long-term operation of the proposed project Impacts are not
anticipated to be significant.
0 Result in inadequate parking capacity? Less Than Signff/centImpact The proposed project requires
the widening of Del Obispo Street This widening will result in approximately 13 foot encroachment into
the existing parking. along Del Obispo Street, including a portion of the Plaza de Prosperidad parking lot,
The project specifically requires the removal and relocation of 6 parking spaces at the Plaza. Parking
within the lot along Del Obispo Street would also be displaced during construction resulting a temporary,
short-term parking impact. To address this Impact and as reflected in the project plans, the City has

Initial Study/Environmental Checklist -28- City of ban Juan Capistrano. California
committed to redesigning and reconstructing the removed parking spaces at the Washington Mutual
(WaMu) Bank and Plaza de Prosperidad sites to maintain the available amount of parking and to improve
the internal circulation of these areas. The parking would be reconstructed in conjunction with the road
widening. Because the project would not result in the loss of on-site parking, there project would not have
a potentially significant parking impact.
Project Design Feature T-3: The City will prephre final design plans for the private parking area
affected by the proposed project and will provide the Plaza de Prosperidad and Washington Mutual
(WaMu) Bank property owners the opportunity to review and provide Input on the final design prior to
City Council approval of plans and specifications for the project. The City will provide Plaza de
Prosperidad and Washington Mutual (WaMu) Bank with a reasonable amount of time to review and
comment on the final design plans. The City will construct all parking lot and access drive
improvements consistent with the City Council -approved plans and any required written authorization
of the property owners to construct said improvements.
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts,
bicycle racks)? No impact. Project Implementation would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or
programs supporting alternative transportation. Impacts are not anticipated in this regard.
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? No
Impact. Improvements associated with the proposed project would not exceed wastewater treatment
requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCS).

Subject: Camino Capistrano and Del Obispo Street Intersection Project (CIP 111)
Additional Work Request for Out of Scope Work
Dear Mr. Abbeszadeh,
Willdan's priority is to provide the City of San Juan Capistrano quality services, meet the City's
project goals, fulfill our contract obligations and provide a complete design and bid and
construction package. As we continue to move forward on this project, we have reviewed the
original scope of work and have noted several design and project scope items that have evolved
since the approval of the original Personal Services Agreement and Scope of Work on October
4, 2005. The intersection of Del Obispo Street and Camino Capistrano had been involved in
much analysis, study and discussion and numerous concepts had been prepared. However, at
the time the Scope of Work was prepared, decisions were made to limit the intersection
improvements at that time. Jeff Marr, the previous Willdan Project Manager, had identified
some of these City directed additional work items in his letter to Brian Perry on September 15,
2006. Wiildan would like to proceed with the City with a clear understanding of project goals,
process and expectations and to get the project back on a submittal and review schedule that
meets the City's goals. The original scope of work task description is listed below followed by
the additional work performed that was not included in or expanded from the original scope of
work. These items can be referenced to the attached Scope of Work and Exhibit.
1. Widening on the south side of Del Obispo Street.
Scone of Work: Improvements on Del Obispo Street were limited to median
modifications, driveway improvements and eastern sidewalk widening on Camino
Capistrano north of Dei Obispo Street. Widening of the south side of Del Obispo Street
was not included (Scope of Work Exception/Addition, Item 1).
Additional Work: During design, the City directed Willdan to widen the south side of Del
Obispo Street west of Camino Capistrano and include this widening and associated
changes in the project plans. The project plans currently include the widening plan and
profile, curb return reconstruction, storm drain relocation plan and profile, street light

relocation, traffic signal relocation, utility relocations and other related improvements not
included in the scope of work.
2. Traffic signal pole relocations and fire station preemption.
Scope of Work: Traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Camino Capistrano
and Del Obispo Street were limited to shifting traffic heads and cutting new detector
loops. Design for relocation of a traffic signal pole due to street widening was located at
the intersection of Del Obispo Street and. Plaza Drive (Scope of Work Phase III, Item S).
Additional Work: As a result of widening the southern curb line of Del Obispo Street and
significant lane alignment changes, the traffic signal poles located at the southwest and
southeast corners of the intersection were required to be moved. The traffic signal plans
show these relocations. and the associated traffic signal conduit, pull box and wiring
changes.
Additionally, the City requested the installation of emergency vehicle pre-emption (EVP)
system for the fire station to be included at the Del Obispo Street/Plaza Drive signal.
Original direction was to provide push-button pre-emption inside the fire station.
Subsequent City comments directed Willdan to change the push-button to a traffic signal
pole located outside the fire station with an EVP detector.
3. Driveway and sidewalk Improvements north of C5 (EI Adobe Restaurant).
Scope of Work: Improvements were limited to the replacement of the EI Adobe
Restaurant driveway within the exiting street right of way. Sidewalk and curb and gutter
extension through the driveway was not included (Scope of Work Exception/Addition,
Item 3).
Additional Work: During design, the City directed Wilidan to provide a new sidewalk
through this driveway and provide a new curb line transition and profile connecting the
existing sidewalk to the north to the southern sidewalk. Right of way acquisition is now
required on EI Adobe Restaurant property (APN 121-150-13).
4. Partial property acquisition of impacted parcels.
Scope of Work: Anticipated work included performing right of way engineering, and
preparation of legal descriptions and sketches for partial acquisition for six parcels
(Scope of Work Phase III, Item 15, and Phase IV, Item 2).
Additional Work Based on the design direction identified in No. 3 above, as well as
changes to the sidewalk width and geometry, engineering and mapping services were
required for a seventh parcel (APN 121-150-13). Additionally, the legal descriptions
included sidewalk easement information for the required properties and temporary

construction easement limits were incorporated into the project plans for use by the City
in property owner descriptions. The existing right of way, proposed right of way,
sidewalk easements and temporary construction easements were marked/staked in the
field for all impacted properties to assist the City, property owners and the appraiser.
Preliminary and Final Appraisal Summary Statements were also prepared in addition to
the Appraisal Report as directed by the City. These documents were also revised to
change acquisition from sidewalk easements to fee simple.
5. Reconstruct sidewalk from driveways C3 to the south side of El Adobe property.
Scope of Work: Sidewalk reconstruction was limited to replacing this existing sidewalk
to adjoin the reconstructed driveways C3, C4, and C5 and widening the sidewalk
adjacent to landscaping areas; Scope of Work Phase IV, item 2 identifies APNs 121-
150-17, 121-150-18 and 121-150-23 as being impacted only in landscaping areas with
no permanent loss of parking spaces. The existing western curb and gutter was
expected to be protected in place. Impacts to the EI Adobe Plaza parking lot were not
anticipated, specifically impacts to parking spaces (Scope of Work Exception/Addition,
Item 5).
Additional Work: During design, the City directed Willdan to improve this sidewalk
corridor with an 8' wide sidewalk between driveways and a 10' width at driveways (6'
approach + 4' ADA sidewalk) and the inclusion of brick pavers instead of concrete. To
adjust the driveway and sidewalk grades for the widened sidewalk and to minimize the
grading into the adjacent parking lot area, modification of the western curb line profile
was required and a new curb line profile was generated. Resulting from DRC meetings,
the City has requested that this sidewalk be modified to include a meandering back of
walk requiring a design change. The sidewalk widening has impacted the EI Adobe
Plaza parking lot, including potential loss of parking; resolution of loss of parking will be
coordinated between the City and owner during the property acquisition process.
Related to this work, this City requested that all project sidewalks be changed from PCC
to brick pavers with alternates provided in the special provisions for stamped colored
concrete and PCC.
6. Left -Turn Pocket with Bridge Widening.
Scope of Work- Del Obispo Street median improvements between the railroad tracks
and Camino Capistrano for the left -tum pocket configuration is identified as occurring
with the Del Obispo Street Widening Project at Trabuco Creek on the Scope of Work
Exhibit. Significant improvements to this existing median were not anticipated; only
striping modifications adjacent to the raised median were expected (Scope of Work
Exhibit).

Additional Work: Concurrent with the City direction to provide the southern street
widening, the Del Obispo Street medians on the west leg were redesigned several times
to include a new left -tum pocket configuration into the EI Adobe Plaza, resulting in the
removal of the existing westernmost raised median.
Subsequently, the City has requested that this proposed westerly striped median be
replaced with a raised landscaped median that is to be coordinated with the OCTA
railroad crossing and median improvements.
7. Driveway improvements east side of Washington Mutual.
Scope of Work: The extent of improvements on the Washington Mutual (WaMu)
property included driveway Improvements and additional Improvements were not
anticipated (Scope of Work Exoeption/Addition, Item 2).
Additional Work: Through initial City discussion with Plaza De Prosperidad (PDP) for
parking lot redesign, Wilidan was directed to close the old WaMu drive-thru to provide
additional parking spaces and provide an area for replacement landscaping. Recently,
in association with the PDP parking lot redesign, the City has directed Wilidan to remove
the previously designed drive-thru improvements from the project plans and landscape
concept plan.
8. Plaza De Prosperidad Parking Lot.
Scope of Work: Redesign of the PDP parking lot was expected and preparation of a
parking lot detail included. Willdan coordinated parking lot alternatives with the City and
generated at least three configurations for City and property owner review. The City
discussed these alternatives with the PDP property owners, and Willdan received
direction in December 2006 to proceed with inclusion of a preferred alternative. This
parking lot design was included in the removal and construction plans, signing and
striping plans, tree removal study and landscape concept plan.
Additional Work: The City has met with the PDP owners and it was determined that the
previous parking lot layout that utilized the WaMu drive-thru for replacement parking
spaces was no longer acceptable. Additionally, the City Design Review Committee
(DRC) stated that replacing all parking spaces on PDP property was primary and
minimizing tree removal in the parking lot area was secondary. The City directed
Willdan to prepare two additional parking lot layout alternatives utilizing these new
directives. Again the City met with PDP owners and stated that there is a preferred
alternative and has requested implementation of the new parking lot design into the
project plans. The City and Willdan concur that the addition of traffic loops to the new
parking lot area is not necessary.

Additionally, to protect existing trees along the PDP frontage, a retaining wall is
proposed along the back of walk.
9. Impacted Tree Study.
Scope of Work: A tree study was performed for the impacted trees. This study included
a field visit by an arborist to examine existing trees impacted by the proposed
improvements. The impacted areas included the Del Obispo Street medians, the Del
Obispo Street northern parkway and the PDP parking lot.
Additional Work: The redesign of the PDP parking lot required another examination of
the parking lot trees impacted and a revision to the tree study. Additionally, Wilidan
recommends that a certified arborist provide tree replacement cost appraisals for the
PDP property for inclusion in the overall property acquisition appraisal.
10. Landscape Concepts and Plans.
Scope of Work: Preparation of the landscape concept plan was based on an initial field
meeting with City staff discussing tree removal, replacement and planting palettes. A
Landscape concept pian was prepared.
The primary landscaping improvements were expected to occur within the new project
right of way with consideration given to adjacent surroundings. Project landscaping on
private property and outside of the construction limits was limited to existing landscaped
areas physically impacted by construction work; the remaining landscaping would be
protected in place.
Additional Work: Subsequent to City meetings with the DRG and the PDP owners,
different direction was received than initially directed including plant species and layout.
Changes included the PDP parking lot layout and implementation of the "Nifty Fifty` plant
list for the entire project; the City planning department provided recommendations and
DRC comments were addressed. Subsequent to this revision and submittal, the DRC
and City staff provided another direction with broad comments. The landscape concept
plan was substantially revised per City direction. Additionally, the landscaping plan has
expanded to include planting on private property as directed by the City to provide
continuity with the new palette.
11. Fast Leg Plan Revisions
Additional Work: Wiildan has met with the City to review project design constraints
associated with Right of Way acquisition along the northern side of Del Obispo Street
east of Camino Capistrano. Willdan reviewed design modifications with the City and
revised the project PS&E package including typical sections, demolition, plan and profile,

signing and striping, traffic signal plans to avoid property impacts in order to maintain the
project schedule.
12. Additional Meetings, Revisions and Support
Additional Work: Willdan anticipates that as the project moves forward there will be
continued discussion and meetings with adjacent property owners and the City. Willdan
anticipates that there may be a need for the preparation of exhibits and documents
outside of the planned PS&E preparation and submittal milestones for use by the City to
gain project concurrence. Willdan proposes establishing a budget to be used for
meetings attendance, preparation of exhibits and documents separate from the
construction drawings to be utilized on a time and material as -needed basis per the
direction of the City.
13. City Coordination and Primary Point of Contact. Wilidan's primary point of contact at
the City is the project manager, Nisha Patel. Willdan's expectation is that Ms. Patel will
perform all coordination and correspondence for all aspects of the project not included in
Willdan's scope of work. This includes internal city department, property owner,
committee/commission, utility agency and environmental document coordination,
Compilation of comments and task direction should only be provided by the primary City
contact to minimize conflicts and maintain the line of communication.
14. PS&E Submittal Schedule. Three plan submittals for City processing, review and
comment at the preliminary, intermediate and final design phases are identified in Scope
of Work Phase V, Item 16. Due to the various changes in design and scope that have
occurred, numerous intermediate plan revisions and submittals have been made.
Recently the plans were updated to include the landscaping and Irrigation plans
(approximately 90%) as well as implement city comments for the upcoming Planning
Commission meeting (10128/08). Willdan will provide a Final submittal PS&E package
subsequent to incorporating any City directed Planning Commission comments. The
Final PS&E package will be revised following City review and a final bid package
submitted for City use and advertising purposes.
15. EI Adobe Plaza Driveway Analysis and NB Camino Capistrano Left Turn Lane
Evaluation (Phase Ii, Item 4). Analysis of the EI Adobe Plaza driveway was included to
determine if any driveway locations and paridng lot entrance/exit volumes impacted the
service of the Del Obispo Street/Camino Capistrano intersection. Willdan performed
traffic counts at the five driveways and analyzed the data, The data was provided to the
City and Willdan met with the City and the results were reviewed. The City concurred
that the existing driveways did not significantly impact intersection capacity and closing
the driveways was not desired.

Evaluation of the Camino Capistrano northbound left turn lane at Del Obispo Street and
the southbound left turn lane at Avenida Golondrina was included to determine if the
back-to-back left tum pockets on the south leg should be modified to increase the
northbound left turn lane storage capacity. Willdan performed the traffic counts and
analyzed the data. The date was provided to the City and Wilidan met with the City and
the results were reviewed. The City concurred that the existing median geometry was
sufficient and modifying the storage lane length would not provide significant intersection
capacity improvements.
Based on the additional work efforts listed in the items above, Willdan has included a Scope of
Additional Work for the work performed and proposed. Willdan is looking forward to continuing
to serve the City of San Juan Capistrano on this important project. if you have any questions,
please contact me at (714) 978-8205.

reviewed and approved the concept drawings and/or photo simulations.
4. Provide civil engineering design services in accordance with the Standard
Specifications for Public Works Construction and the City of San Juan Capistrano
Design Criteria. All design drawings will be prepared utilizing AutoCAD.
5. Prepare a title sheet drawing conforming to City standards.
6. Develop typical cross-sections for the street improvements. Pertinent existing and
proposed information will be included.
7. Based on the above investigations and reports, develop four base plan and profile
drawings at 1" = 20' horizontal and 1 = 2' vertical scale. Title blocks will conform to
City standards.
A Plot existing survey data.
B Show construction centerline with stationing.
C Plot existing utilities and show the owner of such utility as available.
0
0
D Profile proposed curb and driveway improvements.
E Detail required driveway, sidewalk and parking lot improvements.
F Show water valve replacement including installation of three 8 -inch and one 10 -
inch resilient wedge gate valves and abandoning five.
8. Prepare traffic signal modification designs at the intersections of Camino Capistrano
at Del Obispo Street and Del Obispo Street at Plaza Drive. The plans will be
prepared in accordance with the City of San Juan Capistrano requirements and
Caltrans standards and specifications. At the Del Obispo Street and Camino
Capistrano intersection, traffic signal heads will be shifted on existing poles and
detector loops will be re -cut to coincide with new lane locations. No pole relocations
are expected. At the Del Obispo Street and Plaza Drive intersection, signal poles
will be relocated or new poles installed to accommodate new geometry and new
detector loop location designated. We assume that the City has current existing
signal plans to use as a base to add these design changes to. The plans will show
proposed improvements. The traffic signal plans will be prepared at a scale of
1 "=20'.
9. Prepare signing and striping design plans in accordance with the City of San Juan
Capistrano requirements and Caltrans standards and specifications. Willdan will
evaluate, as part of this process, the raised "pork -chop" island at the entrance to the
Plaza Del Obispo shopping center. The northbound left turn pocket length will also
be evaluated at the intersection of Del Obispo Street and Camino Capistrano to
determine if it can be extended using some of the area striped out at the intersection
of Camino Capistrano and Avenida Golondrina. The plans will provide the locations
and designation of existing and proposed signs for the street. The plans will also
address any striping that would be removed during the construction phase of the
project or is in conflict with the improvements.
The signing and striping plans will utilize the State of California (Caltrans) Standard
Plans and Standard Specifications, Caltrans Traffic Manual, the City of San Juan
Capistrano requirements and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD). The signing and striping plans will be prepared at a scale of 1"=20'.
10. Prepare street lighting modification plans in accordance with the City of San Juan
Capistrano requirements and Caltrans standards and specifications. The street
lighting plan will address proposed, existing, removed and relocated electrical
equipment and appurtenances. The plans will be prepared at a scale of 1"=200'.
11. Traffic control during construction will be the responsibility of the Contractor. The
project special provisions will require the Contractor to prepare a traffic control plan
that conforms to MUTCD and WATCH criteria.
12. Prepare landscape plans in conformance with the approved concept plan. These
plans will be in the required format for final approval and will include proposed
irrigation and planting improvements. The irrigation modification plan will include
existing irrigation system(s) and the re -designed system to accommodate the new
roadway widening. Cutting and capping lateral lines, relocating and installing new
irrigation heads and other necessary equipment, and designing new irrigation
systems as necessary for the new planting areas will be included. The planting
modification plan will call out to remove and/or relocate trees, shrubs, and
groundcover and add new planting material as necessary for the modified planning
areas.
13.Prepare contract specifications and bid documents, using City "boilerplate;' to
conform to applicable requirements of the City and applicable local agencies. The
specifications will supplement the current edition of the "Standard Specifications for
Public Works Construction."
14. Prepare preliminary engineer's quantity and construction cost estimates.
15. Perform right of way engineering for partial acquisition of six parcels.
A Discuss right of way requirements with City staff and obtain data needed for
acquisition work.
B Prepare legal descriptions and sketches for the acquisition parcels.
16.The PS&E package will be submitted to the City and other required agencies for
review and comment at three stages: preliminary, intermediate, and final. Final
PS&E will be submitted to utility companies with known facilities in the project area.
We will address comments received at the preliminary and intermediate milestones
and submit a complete, ready to bid, PS&E package to the City for final review and
approval.
17.Attend coordination meetings with City personnel at various times during the design
phase to obtain additional input and to review work.
Phase IV - Final Design
1. Based on the City, utility company and other agency comments and requirements,
revise and update the preliminary PS&E.
2. Appraise partial acquisition for six parcels. The Assessor Parcel Numbers for the
parcels to be appraised are referenced as follows:
121-150-17 668-242-02
121-150-18 668-242-14
121-150-23 668-242-16
The appraisal report produced will be a Complete Appraisal presented in a Summary
Report format and will comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the just compensation for
partial takings for acquisition purposes as of a current date of value. The taking
impacts only landscaping on five of the six parcels. On the sixth parcel, parking is
also impacted, but the parking lot can be modified so as to recapture any impacted
parking spaces. Since the takings do not impact any major improvements or result
in the permanent loss of parking or any other severance damages, the parcels will
be appraised as though vacant. Furthermore, this proposal is based on the
assumption the city will not require the landscape setbacks impacted by the project
to be reestablished. Moreover, if the city acquires temporary construction
easements, it is a basic assumption of the proposal that improvements within the
0 9
temporary construction easement area will be protected in place and or reestablish
in like kind by the city's contractor.
3. Prepare final plans, specifications and engineer's construction cost estimates in a
City approved format for construction bidding of the project.
4. Submit final PS&E to the City.
Data And Services Furnished by the City
1. List of utility companies, agencies, and districts serving the project area, including
the name, address and telephone number of their representatives.
2. Fees for permits and record information from utilities and other public agencies.
3. No fee encroachment permit for survey and geotechnical work.
4. Environmental documentation.
5. Title reports.
6. Coordination with affected property owners.
7. Traffic index to be used for pavement structural section design.
8. The proposed locations of water valve replacement and abandonment.
9. Right of way acquisition.
10. Bid document reproduction.
11. Advertising for bidding purposes.
12. Construction administration, inspection and staking.
13. Red line markups of as built changes for preparation of record drawings.
