<br /> . Kinney Park Channel Restoration Project, Scope of Work Page 2 <br /> Pacific Water Resources, Inc. <br /> analysis will also contribute to establishing the required shape and pattern for the new <br /> restored channel. <br /> The original concept for Kinney Park involved constructing a `water quality <br /> enhancement' facility to meet multiple objectives. These included water quality and <br /> natural resource enhancement as well as flood control. We understand that these are still <br /> prime project objectives. However, the manner for achieving these objectives is more <br /> comprehensive in terms of park/waterway improvements rather than reliance on one <br /> single larger feature. <br /> Another key aspect of this project is working with the City's Pazks Planner, Robin <br /> Hostick, to integrate these improvements into scheduled park improvements and possibly <br /> bidding them together. Frank Kinney Park is part of a major trail and park system <br /> associated with the Amazon Creek corridor through the city. As such, its appearance and <br /> functional values are key neighborhood attributes. Nearby residents and neighbors will <br /> be keenly interested in any proposal affecting this facility. Significant land acquisition <br /> has already occurred and more is scheduled as the role of Kinney Park increases within <br /> the regional park system. <br /> Approach <br /> PWR's approach to this project will focus on the restoration of natural processes. These <br /> include fluvial, geomorphic and floodplain processes while recognizing the basin's <br /> current and ultimate development conditions. Only by understanding the existing system <br /> can we propose improvements that will be stable and functional. To provide project <br /> flexibility, we propose that the City develop this project in phases with each step of the <br /> process building on previous work. In this manner adjustments or corrections can be <br /> made along the way to accommodate new information or new interpretations of old <br /> information. <br /> We believe the following phases will be appropriate: Predesign Phase, Preliminary <br /> Design Phase, and the Final Design, Bidding and Construction Phase. These aze natural <br /> evolutionary steps in project development and allow the City flexibility and control over <br /> the design process. Depending on permit timing, the Final Design, Bidding and <br /> Construction Phase can be broken into two or even three additional phases. <br /> Predesign Phase <br /> The Predesign Phase will involve an in-depth review of the available existing basin <br /> information including hydrology and hydraulics as well as aquatic resource inventories. <br /> This effort will include a review of the existing hydrologic and hydraulic model (XP- <br /> SWMM) and verification of results as indicated in the basin plan. The existing model <br /> was developed as a conceptual tool for developing a basin master plan. For this reason <br /> we anticipate the need to input more field information for adequately defining project <br /> design alternatives. One key aspect of the Predesign Phase will be to identify data gaps <br /> and the information and effort required to fill those gaps. <br /> PACIFIC <br /> WATER RESOURCES, INC. <br /> <br />
