The Lakewood Boulevard and Imperial Highway intersection (Attachment A) currently
accommodates an average daily traffic (ADT) volume of approximately 82,000 vehicles per day
(VPD) with existing Levels of Service (LOS) of "E" and "F" during AM and PM peak hours,
respectively. The traffic volume at the intersection is expected to increase by 8 percent to
approximately 88,375 VPD by year 2035. As such, it is expected that the LOS during AM and
PM peak hours will further deteriorate with congestion and delay worsening for motorists without
improvements to the intersection. In addition, the existing left -turn pockets on Imperial Highway
frequently overflow and block the adjacent through lane, thus, negatively affecting capacity at
the intersection.
The purpose of this project is to improve traffic circulation and mobility within the 1-605 Freeway
corridor by minimizing congestion along the Lakewood Boulevard and Imperial Highway
corridors by increasing capacities and improving operations at the subject intersection during
peak hours by year 2035, through a series of improvements to the intersection.
On November 7, 2019, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional environmental, design
and right-of-way acquisition consultant services for this project was posted on Planet Bids.

Understanding of Need
Roadway
Roadway improvement projects present several challenges including private property impacts, utility
relocations, and drainage considerations. The intersection of Lakewood Boulevard and Imperial Highway
is no different, as it is bound by developed parcels on all four legs with associated utility infrastructure.
Our first order of business will be to perform a thorough field review within the project limits to identify
constraints, conflicts, relocations, and also evaluate the condition of existing improvements within the
public
conceptual geometric plan based on our field review and the proposed improvements outlined in the
request for proposal early in our project schedule. The preparation of the geometric plan will
immediately follow the completion of the survey and right-of-way base mapping. This will allow our
design team to identify and quantify with accuracy the parcels and utilities impacted and develop any
solutions if applicable to mitigate impacts where possible. Areas of focus include:
Storefront parking for the commercial parcel (GbudiDress Sho[/Joslyn'sHair Design/Zaiqa
Grill) onthe south side ufImperial Highway atthe westerly project limits.
Curb opening catch basin at the Imperial Highway east bound right turn pocket.
Driveway approaches for Mobil Gas Station.
There are several design elements — including the relocation of water appurtenances,asphalt and
Portland cement concrete paving, and median improvements — that are critical tothe project, but the
focus areas listed above provide the greatest risk and impact to property owners, the schedule, and the
project cost.
The storefront parking for Glaudi Dress Shop, JosyIn's Hair Design, and Zaiqa Grill are of concern due to
the minimal area between the structures and public right-of-way. Based on the limited amount of
parking located behind the structures,
any loss efstorefront parking could ne8adve|yimpact each ofthe
businesses. Therefore, our design teannwill look for opportunities toadjust the geometricsofthe
dedicated right turn pocket and associated curb line taper at this location to minimize any reduction in
area between the structures and right-of-way that would result in the loss of parking.
Drainage impacts associated with the improvements appear to minimal based on our early assessment
of the project. We have identified that one catch basin located at the eastbound dedicated right turn
pocket on Imperial Highway will need to be relocated to facilitate the widening for the dual left turn
pockets in the median. Relocating curb opening catch basins for a roadway project can pose a challenge
of maintaining the minimum amount of cover over the top of the storm drain pipe. The challenge results
from the decrease in gutter elevation and increase in storm drain pipe elevation as the existing curb line
and associated catch basin are moved further south. As part of our research and field survey, we will
determine the depth ofthe existing storm drain pipe and perform aquick profile analysis todetermine if
we can simply extend the storm drain lateral or if a special design will be required.
Reconstructing driveway approaches as part of a widening or to upgrade for ADA accessibility present
staging and access issues during construction as well as the challenge of matching elevations at the
proposed right-of-way. This is especially true for gas stations such as the Mobil station at the southeast
corner of the Lakewood Boulevard and Imperial Highway intersection where ingress/egressandonubm
circulation iscrucial tothe business operation. The Mobil station has a total offour driveway access
points with two on Imperial Highway which is a positive for staging. We anticipate that both driveways
will be removed simultaneously to allow for the new curb and gutter construction, but one driveway
approach can be plated to provide temporary access on Imperial Highway while the other is
constructed. In addition, the grades on the Mobil station parcel are relatively flat, which will allow for
minimal onsite improvements in order to join existing elevations at the back of the proposed driveways.
Once these challenges are vetted and resolved through the conceptual phase, our team will proceed
with the more detailed plan and profile design and associated cost estimates and technical
specifications.
Environmental
The City has experienced traffic congestion on several major arterials. Some of these arterials are
recognized as important corridors, which carry heavy truck and passenger vehicular traffic in the
Southern California region. Studies have shown that traffic congestion on these corridors will continue
to increase unless measures are implemented to improve the mu|tinnuda|transportation system; thatis,
the freeways, the regional highways, and the bus and rail transit systems.
Traffic congestion on arterial streets is known to have many adverse impacts in terms of environmental
quality. These impacts include, but are not limited to, things such as increased air and noise pollution.
The Team understands that intersection improvement addressed by the presently proposed Project are
an important element in alleviating these impacts; however, implementation and construction of the
proposed Project has the potential to adversely affect a number of environmental resources, which will
require evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The team proposes to prepare an Initial Study (|S) in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), that will address the environmental effects associated with the implementation of
the Lakewood Boulevard and Imperial Highway Intersection Improvement Project (Project). The IS and
associated analyses will address, but not be necessarily limited to, those environmental issues identified
the City ofDowney Vision 2O2SComprehensive General Plan.
Because traffic congestion is and will continue to be a significant and pressing issue within the City,the
Team understands the need to develop an adequate traffic circulation network, of which the present
Project will be a vital component. Such a network comprises the following elements:
m Freeways which form the basis ofthe regional transportation network
w Major Arterials which provide access tofreeways
w Primary Arterials which provide inter -City access toMajor Arterials
• Secondary Arterials which provide inter -City access at lower capacities than Major/Primary
Arterials
• Collector Streets which provide access to arterials and the regional roadway network form local
streets
Local Streets which provide neighborhood and property access.
These issues will be addressed within the proposed CEQA IS for all resource areas and,particularly,
under Section XV||Transportation ofthe Appendix GChecklist. Asanexample, the focus ofthis

transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities
w Conflicts with or is inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines § 15064.3, subdivision (b)

0 Results in inadequate emergency access
As with certain other IS resource sections, a technical Transportation Appendix will be created as a
component of the IS work efforts described in the following sections. As an example, the Transportation
related analyses will address the following issues, as identified in the Downey Vision 2025 Circulation
• Issue 2.1Traffic Congestion Impacts

pertinent elements associated with the impleme ntation of the Lakewood Boulevard and Imperial
Highway Intersection Improvement Project (Project).
Because traffic congestion is and will continue tobeasignificant and pressing issue within the City, the
team understands the need to develop an adequate traffic circulation network, of which the present
Project will be a vital component. The team understands that the successful completion of a typical right
of way project will require a well-defined sequence of events. This sequence can be divided into two
major categories:

-----------
Based onthe RFP, weunderstand that the scope ofwork comprises conducting ageotaohnica/
engineering investigation of the areas where street widening will occur (northeast, northwest, and
southwest corner ofthe intersection) todetermine the subgrede Rva|ue and all other parameters as
necessary in order to treat the subgrade to support projected traffic loads at the intersection. The City
will provide the Traffic Index (TI).
The improvements being considered at this congested intersection are designed to benefit present and
future commuters and local residents, Of primary importance is gaining the public's trust in this project
and in the right of way acquisition process, Our approach of early involvement with the property
owners/tenants/stakeholders provides for efficient acquisition and negotiation processes to avoid
schedule delays, additional costs, and to deliver the real estate interests needed for the project. Initial
meetings with property owners will a||uvv us to determine which parcels may require extra
concentration and more time for acquisition. Meetings with tenants may allow insight into their
concerns and opportunities to discuss any potential access or future development concerns.
The project will require right of way acquisition from the below properties:

Paragon will obtain preliminary title reports for the impacted parcels and appraise the property interests
required for the project.
Once just compensation has been determined, Paragon's agent will personally meet and negotiate in
good faith with the property owner, or representative at appointed times convenient for them to
present the offer, explain the acquisition process and gather information tmobtain the required
executed documents. Our goal is0oobtain afair settlement be1meentheCityandthepropertyoxvner,
striving for a Purchase and Sale Agreement that leads to recorded property rights.
We will work with the City on other non -litigious acquisition strategies such as administrative
settlements, when reasonable efforts to negotiate an agreed acquisition price have failed but there
appears to be the potential for agreement. Additional approaches to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate
issues would include: providing access tobusinesses during construction toavoid claims ofloss of
goodwill; working with engineers to find unique resolutions and avoid cookie -cutter solutions for
property impacts, and; creating exhibits and visuals that show "before" and "after" conditions to help
alleviate owner/tenant concerns.
Paragon will provide eminent domain coordination which may include preparing impasse letters,
litigation briefings, and recommendations.

• Top mfcurb
• Flow line
• Drainage profiles
Typical cross -sections will be prepared at 50' intervals, all transitions, and at all locations where
the geometric characteristics of the street vary. The project survey will capture existing water
(meters, hydrants valves, blow offs, etc.), manholes (sewer, storm drain, utility, etc.), dean outs
and other utility information (vau|ts, transformers, meters, e1o.)identified during the survey and
will import such information into the base map files. AZTEC will coordinate with utility
companies for additional information, asnecessary.
AZTEC understands the importance of starting the Right -of -Way Survey by implementing proper
Global Positioning System (GPS) methods to obtain the survey data. Planning an accurateGP5
network isessential toachieving reliable results from the survey.
AZTEC staff will attend one (l) meeting at City offices to discuss the methodology to be used to
develop the existing right of way corhdor(s). These discussions will include determining which
elements of the existing record stationing and geometry should be held or modified. AZTEC will
harmonize the intent of the record information with the actual measurements in a way that

Assumption
* For the purposes of this proposal, one review cycle of Administrative Draft, Final Draft,
and Final documents submitted to City staff for review and comment is assumed. In
addition, it is assumed that the City will provide AZTEC with input and comments on
these prepared under this Task within two (2) weeks of receipt of these documents from
AZTEC.
* Should the IS analyses determine that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of
the Project, either individually or cumulatively, may cause a significant effect on the
environment which cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance, AZTEC will
recommend that the City further evaluate the proposed Project under one of the
Environmental Impact Report (E|R) options specified in [EQAGu|deUnen § 15063 (b)
Results.
* Per the CEQA Guidelines, as soon as the City as lead agency has determined that an IS
will be required for the project, the lead agency shall consult informally with all
responsible agencies and all trustee agencies responsible for resources affected by the
project to obtain the recommendations of those agencies as to whether an E|R or a
negative declaration should be prepared. In addition, during or immediately after
preparation of an |S, the lead agency may determine that modifications to the proposed
Project can ,educe uravoid the significant effects identified in the IS.
* Implementation of such noud0oo1ions to the proposed Project may affect the IS
environmental analyses conducted uptothat point and could require additional work
efforts. Additional work efforts of this nature are considered to be Out -of -Scope. In
addition, should the Negative Declaration require recirculation, due to "substantial
revisions" to the Project bayed on the discovery ofnew significant effects urmitigation
measures found to be inadequate to reduce impacts to below a |ova| of significance,
additional work efforts associated with recirculation are considered to be Out -of -Scope.
AZTEC will work with the City to resolve any such budgetary conflicts. Further, if
consultation by the City with the appropriate responsible/trustee agencies has not

Calculations required in determining the final right of way requirements may be based on either
field survey, record data or a combination. Upon obtaining the record or field data, the title
reports and vesting deeds are reviewed and analyzed, and boundary analysis and calculations
are prepared in a manner consistent with recognized standards for good engineering and
surveying practices. This procedure determines the land net for existing property and right-of-
way boundaries. Once the land net is complete, the final boundary for the proposed right-of-
way is calculated and tied into the land net. Bearings and distances are shown including
underlying subdivisions, street names and widths, etc.
Legal descriptions are written by Paragon to clearly describe the parcels to be acquired without
gaps and overlaps so that a competent surveyor can precisely locate the property in the field
and to ensure a title company will insure it and that it will hold up in a court of law. Sketches
that accompany the legal description (if required) or full size right-of-way maps will have
information, bearings and distances around the parcel when described as a metes and bounds

QA/QC Plan
PacR|mm's Quality Control Program
The purpose of PacRim's Quality Control Program is to execute planned and systematic actions
necessary to assure the work is in conformance with project requirements and the needs defined in the
scope of services. The program must include the necessary functions that provide evidence that the
technical aspects of the project are accurate. PacRim's quality control program consists of a series of
steps that result in quality deliverables. PacRim's approach is that if the City did not have the time to
review deliverables, they will nevertheless be of high quality and ready to go to bid.
1. A clear understanding of the scope of services and setting clear expectations for the project
team: PacRim reviews the scope of services with the City prior to award to make sure that the
elements will achieve the desired outcome. PacRim will offer suggestions for adjustment to the
scope if appropriate, which may include additions or deletions (if items do not provide the value
the City is looking for).
A qualified Project Manager with a dedicated and tailored design team (matching technical
skills to needs): The Project Manager, Mr. Canta, as well as the Design Manager, Mr. Rodriguez,
will assign a design team based on the requirements of the project. The specific expertise and
experience ofthe individuals iscarefully matched tothe technical requirements ofthe project.
3. Preparation of a detailed work plan, including a schedule of activities: PacRim begins the
project with a detailed breakdown of the tasks to be accomplished and who is responsible,
accompanied by a schedule of those activities that includes an identification of milestones
(deliverables, etc.). In addition, we identify all applicable codes and regulations. This process
includes all the detailed steps necessary to obtain permits where field investigations or surveys
may need to occur in a timely fashion.
4. Regular project coordination and review meetings: PacRim maintains a regular open channel of
communication through PDT and other meetings with both the City and our team members.
Protocols are established for lines ufcommunication muthat Mr. Can1a and Mr. Rodriguez are in
the know on all activities. All decisions are well documented and shared with the team to avoid
inconsistent actions during the planning stages.
5. Independent review throughout the process — not merely at deliverable time: Throughout the
process and especially at key milestone points in the project, an independent review is
conducted by an individual not working on the design team. The QA/QC Manager, Mr. Rubin,
selects the appropriate person for the review, based on expertise and the complexity of the
project. A color -coded system is utilized that ensures all comments are addressed and back
checked. Reviews are conducted for both functionality and technical correctness. Subconsultant
progress is also reviewed at this point to assure proper coordination between disciplines and
that no "gaps" in design occur. Milestone reviews are held well ahead of deliverable dates to the
City to allow sufficient time for revisions and corrections that are identified. Checking of the cost
estimate is also performed to assure adherence to the cost proposal.
W
6. Ongoing, open and direct communication with the client: PacRim promotes ongoing
communication with the team and the City. Team members regularly need critical information
and this communication facilitates obtaining answers and maintaining progress. Regularly
scheduled PDT Meetings and conference calls are held to make sure there are no missing pieces
ofinformation that hold up team progress.

The chart below illustrates the flow of activities involved in conducting effective quality control
procedures. As demonstrated in the chart, all reviews are back checked, leading to completeness in
