g:\engr\hqe\agst3amndJul2-2003.doc ! 0 ~?~' ~,
As the plans were being prepared by HQE, Caltrans issued a directive that changed two requirements
related to Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP). The first requires that all projects disturbing more
than 0.4 hectare (1 acre) must include a SWPP Plan in the contract documents. Since this project disturbs
0.7 hectare of soil, the City is required to include such a plan in the contract documents. The second
requirement mandates the preparation of a Storm Water Data Report for all projects advertised after
January 1, 2003. Caltrans has required these modifications in order to comply with the State Water
Resources Control Board -National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System general permit for storm
water discharges from construction sites. The total cost for HQE to prepare these new requirements is
$21,140.
Also included in this amendment is additional work required to prepare traffic signal plans. The City
of Pleasanton requested additional work to include the placement of video detection cameras, relocation
of proposed traffic controllers, and a signal interconnect to the Dublin Traffic Operations Center. The
proposed traffic signal is located within Pleasanton's city limits and requires Pleasanton approval. The
cost to perform this additional task is $5,388.
Lastly, engineering services will be required during construction of the project to respond to requests for
information, change orders and preparation of record drawings in accordance with Caltrans encroachment
permit requirements. It is estimated that the construction support services will cost up to $24,832.
The total amount of Amendment #3 is $51,360 and is included in the current fiscal year budget.
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the resolution approving Amendment #3 to HQE's
contract at an additional compensation not to exceed $51,360.

Addendum No. 3
City of Dublin
1-580/San Ramon Road Interchange Improvements
Addendum No. 3 - Exhibit A
Plans Specifications and Estimate
Scope of Work
Per our discussions on December 19, 2002, Caltrans has changed two of their requirements
related to Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP). The first requires that all projects
disturbing more than 0.4 hectares (1 acre) include a SWPP Plan (SWPPP) in the PS&E set. The
previous requirement stated that projects disturbing more than 2 hectares (5 acres) would require
a SWPPP during design. Since this project disturbs 0.7 hectares of soil, our original scope only
included Caltrans Standard Special Provision requiring the contractor to prepare a Water
Pollution Control Plan.
The second requirement is preparation of a Storm Water Data Report (SWDR) for all projects
advertised after January 1, 2003 as outlined in Caltrans Design Memorandum dated September
25, 2002. Although we became aware of this requirement shortly after thd date of issuance, we
have been coordinating with Caltrans to ensure the policy applied to projects locally funded and
administered during construction. We have been directed by Caltrans that it applies to all
projects on the state system.
In order to avoid excessive delays in obtaining PS&E approval for the project, we proceeded to
meet with Caltrans to incorporate the SWPPP during preparation of the 95% PS&E in late
October/early November, 2002. Based on our discussions with you, we have also proceeded to
begin preparation of the SWDR.
Based on the latest comments, CCS will coordinate with the City of Dublin, City of Pleasanton,
and Caltrans to achieve an agreement between all of the agencies. Some of these issues include
the use of pedestrian countdown signal heads, the installation of video detection cameras,
connecting the Dublin TOC to Dublin Boulevard, and relocating the proposed controllers. CCS
will revise the plans, specifications, and estimates based on the latest comments and the
agreements between agencies.
The City of Pleasanton has requested that pedestrian countdown signal heads be installed at the
intersection of 1-580 WB Off-Ramp/San Ramon Road. Pedestrian countdown signal heads have
not been approved by Caltrans. In order to install pedestrian countdown signal heads at a
Caltrans intersection, approval from the California Traffic Control Device Committee (CTCDC)
must be obtained. CCS will coordinate with the agencies to resolve this issue. If needed, it will
be the agency's responsibility to coordinate with CTCDC.
6/20/2003 Page l of 2 Exhibit A
Addendum No. 3
Dublin Boulevard is not currently connected to the Dublin Traffic Operations Center (TOC).
The proposed traffic signal at 1-580 WB Off-Ramp/San Ramon Road will be interconnected to
the traffic signal at Dublin Boulevard and San Ramon Road, but the TOC will not be able to
access data via signal interconnect from the new signal. CCS will coordinate with the agencies
to determine if this is an issue or if improvements to the existing interconnect system will be
required.
Caltrans now requires that traffic signal plans be sent to the Division of Structures for review of
the signal and lighting plans. The review is necessary to verify that any signal equipment
installation on the standard, which is not shown in the Standard Plans, will not compromise the
structural integrity of the pole. The City of Pleasanton has requested that video detection
cameras be installed as part of this project. CCS will coordinate with the agencies to determine a
solution. CCS will prepare structural calculations for the installation of the video detection
cameras onto the mast arm. It is assumed that HQE will provide the coordination with the
Caltrans Department of Structures.
The City of Dublin has requested that signal interconnect be installed from the proposed
intersection of 1-580 WB Off-Ramp/San Ramon Road to Dublin Boulevard/San Ramon Road.
The City has also requested that new stop bar detector loops be installed for the northbound San
Ramon Road lanes at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard/San Ramon Road. CCS has added an
additional plan sheet to provide signal interconnect to the intersection of Dublin Boulevard/San
Ramon Road and to replace the existing northbound detector loops.

PER HQE, Inc., Revised Scope of WorkdFee Proposal dated January 19, 2000 for the San Ramon
Road/I-580 Interchange Modifications Project Study Report (ATTACHED).
Exhibit A
Page 1 of 1
01/26/00
City of DubIin
San Ramon Road/I-580 Interchange Modifications
Project Study Report- Scope of Work
The existing San Ramon Road/l-580 Interchange is a four qua&ant cloverleaf (Caltrans Type L-
10) interchange providing free flow characteristics for all movements. It is limited in it's
capacity, however, due to the short weaving distances between loop ramps. It also limits the
available weaving distance for the 1-580 westbound to San Ramon Road northbound movement
due to its close proximity to the Dublin Boulevard/San Ramon Road Intersection, causing
potential safety issues.
In order to ad&ess these issues, the City of Dublin proposes to modify the interchange by
reali~maing the westbound and eastbound diagonal off-ramps to a tee intersection with San Ramon
Road/Foothill Boulevard.
Major features of the proposed project include:
· ReMignment of the westbound 1-580 off ramp terminus to a tee intersection at San
Ramon Road and installation of a new sig-nal;
· Realigmnent of the eastbound 1-580 offramp terminus to a tee intersection at Foothill
Road (San Ramon Road) and installation of a new signal;
· Potential removal of westbound 1-580 to southbound San Ramon Road loop ramp;
· Potential removal of eastbound 1-580 to northbound San Ramon Road loop ramp.
The Scope of Work for this effort will require preparation of a Project Study Report (PSR) in
accordance with Caltrans' standards.
The detailed Scope of Work will include the following tasks:
Task 1- Preliminary Data Preparation/Collection
a. Site Visits
The project team will conduct site visits as necessary to identify and understand
existing field conditions. Assumes two site visits.
b. Prepare/submit Encroachment Permit Application for field work
An encroachment permit application will be prepared for the City's signature to obtain
right of entry for site visits.

c. Traffic Data/Forecasts (Existing and 2025 traffic volumes)
This task includes collecting existing traffic data from Caltrans and the Cities of
Dubtin/Pleasanton, and projecting peak hour traffic volumes for the design year 2025
using the Th-Valley model developed by others.
AM and PM peak two-hour period traffic counts will be performed at the following
locations:
.I-580/FoothilVSan Ramon Interchange - all 8 ramps plus through movements on
Sam Ramon Road/Foothill Boulevard
· Sam Ramon Road/Dublin Boulevard intersection
· Foothill Boulevard/Canyon Road intersection
The traffic forecasting methodology will be confirmed with Caltrans prior to use of the
forecasts for the traffic operations analysis. The most current version of the Tri-
Valley EMME/2 Transportation Model that is consistent with a current version of
ABAG Projections land use will be obtained, checked for accuracy, and adjusted as
necessary. The model will be applied to generate 2025 traffic forecasts for the
freeway mainline, ramps, and adjacent intersections. The model results will be
adjusted based on observed traffic counts using a procedure approved by Caltrans.
' d. Aerial Photos
Obtain aerial photog-raphs of the interchange for use in preparing the conceptual
geometry for two alternatives.
e. Collect all available information
Includes construction record drawings ("as-builts"), bridge plans, geotechnical
information, utility information, Right of Way Record Maps, Hard Copy maps,
Floodplain Data, etc.

b. Draft Construction Cost Estimates
Prepare PSR level cost estimates according to Caltrans standards.
c. Right of Way Data Sheets
Prepare right of way data sheets in accordance with Caltrans standards. Utility
relocation information is included in the data sheets.
d. Environmental Analysis
The environmental processing for the proposed project is desi~maed to fulfill
requirements specified in CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, N-EPA and other applicable
re~lations. The appropriate environmental document for this undertaking is assumed
to be a Categorical Exemption (CE) under CEQA and a Categorical Exclusion
(CATX) under N-EPA. The CE/CATX will not be prepared until the Project
Report/Environmental Document Phase of the project. No formal public meetings are
anticipated at this time.
PAR staff anticipates attendance at one initial project initiation meeting.
Additional meetings can be attended, on a time-and-materials basis.
- PAR will conduct a preliminary environmental assessment consisting of a
windshield reconnaissance and record searches.
· Documentation will consist of a memorandum including the findings of the record
searches, results of the windshield surveys, a listing of the required technical
studies and a recommendation of the anticipated environmental document type
required should the PSR advance to a formal project.
Since it is anticipated that a CE/CATX will be prepared, the report will not address
mitigation costs. If the Preliminary Environmental Assessment concludes that a
more len~hy and formal environmental process is required, the scope may require
adjustment to include a discussion of mitigation costs and timetines.
· PAR will rely on information coma/ned in the City of Dublin's General Plan and
any updates and will request a records search of the archaeological information
maintained at the Northwest Im%rmation Center of the Califomia Historical
Resources Information System. Other repositories of data sensitive species
(Ca!ifomJa Natural Diversity Data Base) and other resource areas will be contacted
as appropriate.
PAR will conduct record searches and windshield surveys for the disciplines listed
below. Additional analyses needed to provide detailed information regarding

wetlands, biological resources, cultural resources, noise, visual and socioeconomic
conditions are not included in this PSR scope.
Biological Resources
Record searches of the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) will be
assessed for plant and animal species of special concern that might occur in the
project area and a preliminary assessment as to whether habitat exists in the project
area. This work does not include full protocol surveys, a wetlands delineation or
detailed surveys of wildlife or vegetation mapping.
Noise
An assessment of the potential for noise impacts will be based on identification of
potentially sensitive receptors during the windshield survey. No modeling analysis
will be provided.
Visual
A brief assessment of potential for impacts to scenic resources will be made based
on a windshield survey of the site and surrounding land uses.
Land Use/Socioeconomic Issues
A brief assessment of potential for land use and socioeconomic impacts will be
made based on a windshield survey of the site and surrounding land uses and on
information contained in the City's General Plan.
Resources
PAR will request a record search be conducted at the Califomia Historical
Resources Information System, Northwest Information Center maintained by
Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park. The examination of records at this
institution will provide data on Maown site locations within or adjacent to the
project. A windshield survey of the area will be conducted to identi~ the potential
for or presence of historic buildings or obvious prehistoric and historical features
or sites along the existing fight of way.
