City of San CarloS East Side Connectivity Project1

Callander Associates

1. Letter of Introduction

Whether driving, walking to Downtown or the train station, or commuting by bicycle, I am constantly noticing the wonderful connectivity that is developing in San Carlos, as well as the challenges still present. As a San Carlos resident for the past 8 years, I have become intimately familiar with the urban framework of my community (specifically the Downtown and East Side districts). My fellow project manager at BKF, Jason Mansfield, has lived in San Carlos for 14 years, and was on the Transportation Commission for 8 years as well as the General Plan Advisory Committee. We are both personally invested and excited at the opportunity to continue our efforts realizing creative and contextually-sensitive solutions for the City of San Carlos.

Historically, there have been a number of major north/south corridors that have been challenges for the City. The Callander Associates-BKF team has been working with the City to reduce those obstacles on a number of projects, including: the Caltrain Corridor Grade Separation Project, Industrial Road improvements, El Camino Real medians, and the San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street Corridors. These projects have collectively achieved much improved multi-modal circulation within the community while improving the urban design quality and identity of San Carlos.

Old County Road is still one of those major north /south corridors that create challenges to residents. Its challenging sidewalks and inconsistent bicycle facilities provide obstacles to pedestrians and bicyclists commuting and connecting to downtown. Old County Road and San Carlos Avenue have been identified on the City’s and County’s bicycle plans yet neither provide inviting aspects for bicyclists or pedestrians to use more frequently. Callander Associates sought to find solutions to these challenges and collaboratively developed the conceptual plans and grant application for this East Side Connectivity Project. These solutions also support redevelopment opportunities presented in the General Plan as well as stormwater runoff and treatment requirements of the regional NPDES permit. The challenge now is to refine those plans through open and honest dialogue with the community and affected business owners, and to realize these important improvements for the East Side neighborhoods.

Success in realizing these improvements will require a proven urban design lead (Callander Associates) to facilitate dialogue and consensus amongst community members and diverse stakeholders, to manage a large multi-disciplinary team, and to develop contextually-sensitive design solutions. The entire team must be able to implement complex engineering tasks, such as utility undergrounding and green stormwater solutions, while ensuring maximum benefit to pedestrians and bicyclists.

Throughout the process we will ensure team communication through focused team meetings kicking off each phase of design, conference calls, Skype video-conference calls, and coordinated team site visits to collectively see where the “rubber hits the road”. We have also found bi-weekly sched-uled phone calls with City staff and our project manager helpful.

CoordinationStreetscapes have a lot of “stuff” vying for a limited amount of right-of-way, from utilities to sidewalks, parking lanes, lighting, travel lanes, and bicycle facilities. Coordinating the requirements of each to eliminate conflicts is essential. Creating, updating, and maintaining composite street cross-sections to illustrate this “stuff” is extremely helpful in managing the limited right-of-way. This technique ensures that relationships are correct, required offsets are maintained and aesthetic improvements such as trees and lighting standards have adequate space for root growth and footings. As the design develops, we also take the time to locate every utility box from the undergrounding plans on our sidewalk layout

Our full time construction manager has a working relationship with City inspectors on prior projects and will ensure timely responses to facilitate construction

Develop scheduling strategies to ensure funding requirements (approvals for construction) are met with construction beginning after undergrounding improvements are complete

plan to coordinate the aesthetic appearance, placement, and orientation of boxes within the sidewalk scoring pattern.

Consensus BuildingConsensus building is key to the success of any streetscape project and ensures the maximum benefit for the community. Most of Callander As-sociates’ projects are in the public realm and we have led numerous in-formational and consensus-building outreach efforts. Credibility and trust must be established among the community, stakeholders, agencies, staff, and consultant team to achieve consensus. Throughout our 38 years of experience, we have found that clear, honest communication and clarifi-cation of expectations are an essential means of addressing the compet-ing and conflicting demands that are commonplace in the public forum. One way we will cultivate project support at the community workshops is to clearly and effectively communicate design concepts.

Quality ControlOur QA/QC program is integral to our daily operations. We have a ‘toolbox’ of forms such as stringent project checklist requirements and document checking procedures that are employed on every project. In addition, Peter Callander will utilize his over 40 years of experience and lessons learned in his role of QA/QC manager. Peter will be integral to the process, bringing continuity from previous San Carlos work and providing peer review at key intervals to ensure a well-coordinated construction document package. Quality control continues through construction with our full-time construction manager, Shawn Sanfilippo. His involvement will include constructability reviews during bid document preparation, thus ensuring timely and complete responses to submittals and RFI’s, as well as ensuring design intent and specifications are adhered to by the contractor.

4. Project Schedule

In every project endeavor, Callander Associates is committed to completing the project on-time and within budget. Measures to manage time and costs are made possible by effective project management methods and staffing flexibility. With over 20 design professionals, we have the ability to offer a strong pool of resources, specialties, and experience that we can draw from to expedite and strengthen the process. Our team can accelerate schedules and complete multiple concurrent assignments without adverse schedule impacts. Because of our previous experience on this site, the Callander Associates team exclusively brings a number of capabilities to reduce City staff time and costs through:

• Reduced review time and information transfer, as our team already has materials in-house through our previous work preparing planning and construction documents for local projects

• Expedited conversations, as we have already established relationships with funding agencies and utility companies

• Utilization of previous studies prepared by the Callander Team for this project site

• Project team understanding of the City planning process, requirements, and standards.

We will utilize the following draft schedule as a tool to better understand funding deadlines and to strategize solutions for timely PG&E design delivery and Caltrans Local Assistance review.

Project BackgroundCallander Associates worked closely with City staff in identifying Old County Road and San Carlos Avenue as key opportunities to realize important improvements for the East Side neighborhood. Building off of a bicycle lane study prepared by Hexagon, we studied solutions that would maximize pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and safety in the area. We also illustrated maximum project readiness through the development of preliminary construction documents. The resulting MTC grant application and award of $2.2M is a testament to the benefits this project will realize. Our team will utilize this background to jump start the process and work closely with the neighborhood and businesses to further refine the design to minimize impacts while maximizing benefits.

Attention to DetailUtility undergrounding projects are complex yet impactful projects for communities. Until they are removed, communities don’t always realize their negative aesthetic impacts. Realizing an undergrounding project requires thorough planning and attention to the smallest detail. Joint trench corridors need to be coordinated with tree locations and light poles to allow for root growth and footings. Corridor design must consider future maintenance and limiting disruption when those lines need repair. Also locating the numerous utility boxes so they are coordinated with the paving scoring pattern, pays off in improved aesthetics and limited cracking. This is the level of detail our team will bring to your project.

Complete StreetsShifting the focus of streets away from vehicles to all modes of circulation including pedestrian and bicycles is what complete streets is all about. Combine that with increased street trees and innovative storm water treatment solutions, such as bioswales and biofilters, you have a really exciting and forward thinking corridor. The East Side Connectivity Project is truly a complete streets project. Key team members including Bicycle Solutions and BKF Engineers are leaders in bicycle planning and stormwater solutions and will be instrumental in evaluating solutions with staff and the community and making recommendations for the best possible treatments. These corridors will be safe, inviting, green, and a model complete street for this region.

Airport Way Streetscape Beautification - Phase 1, StocktonScope / The first phase of the Airport Way Streetscape Beautification project encompasses 1-mile and serves as the primary thoroughfare be-tween downtown Stockton and the Stockton Municipal Airport as well as the City’s southern gateway. A common theme that came from the com-munity was to make Airport Way more pedestrian-friendly and integrate the new landscape and pedestrian feel into existing adjacent uses. The project reconstructed the medians and frontages, and installed landscaping between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Tenth Street. It includes a fully developed side planting strip, landscaped gateway with large sculptur-al element, new sidewalk, curb ramps and crosswalk improvements, street lighting, planted and irrigated medians.

In 2009, the American Public Works Association (APWA) Sacramento Chapter awarded Airport Way with the “Project of the Year Award” for the Parks and Trails $3-5M category. The criteria used in the selection included construction management, on-time completion, safety, environmental considerations, community relations and unusual and unique project accomplishments.

23rd Street Streetscape Improvements, RichmondScope / The community and local 23rd Street Merchant Association had expressed their vision for a revitalized 23rd Street as a commercial district that is attractive, safe, and pedestrian-friendly. The implementation of a comprehensive streetscape improvement initiative had been identified as a major step towards realizing this vision. Working closely with the Richmond Community RDA and the primarily-Latino community through an intensive outreach process, Callander Associates worked to refine the community’s vision, design the streetscape improvements, and prepare conceptual drawings.

MacArthur Boulevard, San LeandroScope / Prior to implementation, this portion of MacArthur Boulevard had extremely wide, fast moving lanes, narrow broken up sidewalks, and an inconsistent tree canopy. This created a feeling of unease and general downturn, which did not attract the pedestrian traffic that was desired by businesses. As part of a multidisciplinary design team, Callander Associ-ates worked to create a more pedestrian friendly environment. Through a series of public workshops with business owners and residents, a plan was developed that harmoniously blended aesthetic desires with various techni-cal considerations along the corridor, including a myriad of existing major utilities, adjacent Caltrans I-80 right-of-way and creek environment. New landscaped medians, bulb-outs, plazas, and new crosswalks were installed to create the pedestrian friendly street the merchants had envisioned. A new widened sidewalk was created with a separately constructed band at the back of curb in which new electrical conduit was run for new thematic light posts. This enabled portions of the existing sidewalk to remain while allow-ing new lights and trees to be installed. The increased lighting also contrib-uted to the new safer atmosphere in the area.

Callander Associates worked on both the Phase I and Phase 2 of this proj-ect. Phase 2 builds upon the successes of the completed Phase 1 improve-ments, stimulating development of underutilized commercial and residential properties along this key artery. The project encourages increased retail activity by creating a more inviting and safe pedestrian environment, elimi-nating blight in the West San Leandro Project Area by mitigating hazardous road conditions, creating pedestrian friendly retail conditions and through the installation of attractive landscaping.

Monte Diablo - Cavanaugh Street, San Mateo Scope / PG&E and Calwater coordination to relocate shallow utilities Early coordination and frequent communication helped to meet funding dead-lines. Design to accommodate Bay Mud conditions Structural section op-tions were explored to reduce future settlement concerns. Conforms and impacts to private property Allocated construction budget and provided individual property exhibits for coordination and scope agreement between City, property owner, and contractor. Provided utility coordination, PS&E, contract documents for the construction (using City boilerplate specific to federally funded projects). Project is federally funded by ARRA.

Wilson Avenue, VallejoScope / The existing intersecting residential roadways joined Wilson Avenue at steep and unsafe grades. By realigning the roadway to the west, the transition designed into these intersections was greatly improved. A key element was the improved storm drainage at these intersections. The existing storm drainage system was inadequate and poorly maintained. By providing new vertical transitions at the new intersections and adding inlets at key locations the new design was able to greatly improve the drainage system throughout the project. Keeping the existing discharge points along the west side of the roadway as it enters the wetlands and Napa River, the design team did not increase the number of discharge points into the Bay. The discharge locations were upgraded to the new storm water standards of the Vallejo Sanitation and Flood Control District and access for main-tenance to these outlets was provided. An overall hydrology study for the project and surrounding neighborhoods was conducted in order to provide the background information to the County for future improvements within the neighborhood. Project is Local and State Funded.

Santa Cruz Avenue/East Main Street, Los GatosScope / One of the project challenges was to complete the streetscape corridor by filling in segments and gaps left from previous phases of con-struction while working within a fixed and constrained construction budget. Using value-engineering techniques and revalidating the construction costs during the preliminary design phase, BKF was able to identify remaining bud-get to fund additional aesthetic and streetscape features. Due to the success of implementing these strategies early-on, BKF was retained by the Town to complete additional phases of the conceptual streetscape design. During design and construction, BKF participated in several council presentations as well as community outreach to obtain project consensus and address proj-ect issues including design/improvements, merchant coordination, staging, traffic control, and pedestrian/bicycle circulation. Locally funded project.
