<br /> 1 Kinney Park Channel Restoration Project, Scope of Work Page S <br /> Pacific Water Resources, Inc. <br /> PWR's approach, as outlined above, supports this process of project development by <br /> using phases. At this time the final project configuration is unknown. Phasing allows a <br /> continual dialogue between the City and PWR to develop work scopes for each phase that <br /> respond to circumstances and information available at that time. It also allows for <br /> flexibility in the approach as each new phase becomes an opportunity to review the <br /> project course and direction. Therefore, detailed activities are presented below for only <br /> the Predesign Phase. <br /> Task 1-Predesign Phase <br /> Objective: To identify a collection of design elements that may be used to achieve <br /> project goals. In addition, the Predesign is used to assess regulatory concerns, identify <br /> data gaps and determine the feasibility of particular elements. <br /> Activities: <br /> 1. Gather and Review Background Information. Obtain available GIS, topographic and <br /> survey mapping, aerial mapping, historic aerial photos, geotechnical reports, land-use <br /> data, stream inventories and any other relevant information as provided by the City. <br /> 2. Perform Site Visit. PWR will provide restoration specialists and an expert in fluvial <br /> geomorphology to walk the channel (estimated at 1200 feet) and the basin above. <br /> The purpose of this visit will be to identify issues related to bank or channel stability, <br /> reconstruction of the old historic channel, watershed land use or vegetation <br /> management which should be addressed by this project. The site observations will <br /> identify and inventory locations of channel or bank stabilization issues. <br /> 3. Establish Project Goals. Working with the City (specifically the Public Works and <br /> Parks Departments), develop a list of goals to address specific problems at the project <br /> site but within a watershed context. This effort will be focused on the project site <br /> (Kinney Park from Martin Street north approximately 1200 feet max.) and issues of <br /> water quality, storm runoff conveyance, floodplain storage and aquatic habitat <br /> improvement. If appropriate, it may provide more specific watershed information <br /> than the Basin Plan but this effort will not focus on watershed management. Work <br /> will begin with the project goals provided by Terry Colvin in an a-mail message dated <br /> July 21, 2003. This list will be synthesized with the information gained from other <br /> aspects of this task. The final list of project goals, as well as the specific problems <br /> these address, will be included in the Predesign Report discussed below. <br /> 4. Review Hydrologic/Hydraulic Model. An expert in XP-SMMM from PWR will <br /> review the approach and parameters used in the existing model. A memo discussing <br /> our findings will be prepared as well as recommendations for revisions, if required. <br /> No revisions will be made to the model other than the specific changes noted below. <br /> The current model was prepared to support the Basin Plan. In our experience it will <br /> lack the necessary detail to adequately reflect proposed design improvements. If <br /> model refinements are required, this memo will identify the need for and purpose of <br /> these modifications. It will also identify the anticipated level of effort required to <br /> implement suggested revisions. We expect that this memo will be 2-3 pages in length <br /> and transmitted electronically. At a minimum, this task will include effort to update <br /> PACIFIC <br /> WATER RESOURCES, INC. <br /> <br />
