to current ADA standards. Curb-ramps shall be designed per direction by the Engineer and
as specified in the Caltrans Standard Specifications and Plans, and City of Stockton Standard
Specifications and Plans. Installation of COS Standard Details R-65, R-66 and ‘Wheelchair
Ramp Modified A’ and ‘Wheelchair Ramp Modified C’. Curb-ramps shall include saw cutting,
removal and replacement of the asphalt-concrete, curb, gutter, and sidewalk from Beginning
Curb Return (BCR) to End Curb Return (ECR). Additional sidewalk may need to be removed
beyond BCR/ECR to establish proper compliance with ADA standards.
The Consultant shall identify any site constraints and/or physical limitations/conflicts
with the proposed design intent and make recommendations to address such issues
through the design process. Consultants are encouraged to include items that are thought
necessary for this project.
4.1 Background Research
The Consultant shall research and review existing topographic mapping, photos, right-of-
way maps, “as-built” plans, record maps, surveys, assessor maps, improvement plans, and
other characteristics for the project. The consultant shall also conduct field surveys that
include collecting topographic information and locating and referencing any survey
monuments that the project might compromise.
The Consultant shall work with all pertinent utilities to identify conflicts, coordinate utility plan
reviews, conduct necessary coordination meetings, and locate designed improvements as
required to facilitate utility relocations. The Consultant shall coordinate with all utilities in
accordance with Caltrans "Manual on High and Low-Risk Underground Facility within
Highway Rights of Way." The Consultant shall provide deadlines for all utility companies for
final correspondence. Potholing shall be indicated as an alternative task.
The Consultant must coordinate with utility companies to the maximum extent possible,
show all existing utilities that will be impacted or cause impact by the proposed project
and provide copies of utility correspondence for City files.
The Consultant shall provide recommendations for safe design and pedestrian
improvements, including wheelchair ramps, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks per City
Standards, etc.

• Prepare a project limits map and request utility information from each utility owner
within the work area.
• Prepare Utility Letter “A” during the preliminary design phase to the affected utility
owners for City to review and approve prior to transmitting to utility owners.
Information on existing utilities obtained from the “A” letter will be transferred to base
maps in both plans and profile view. A copy of the utility data obtained from utility
owners will be provided to the City, and the originals will be filed in the project files.
• Prepare Utility Letter “B” during 65% design phase to the affected utility owners for
City to review and approve prior to transmitting to utility owners. Two sets of half-
sized 65% plans will be provided to each utility owner as an attachment to the letter.
The letter will request that utility owners verify any utility conflicts with proposed
improvements and indicate whether any future utilities are proposed in the area that
may require accommodation through the improved area. Information on existing
utilities obtained as a result of the “B” letter will be used to determine potential utility
conflicts and to resolve the conflicts identified. A copy of the utility data obtained from
utility owners will be provided to the City and the originals will be filed in the project
files.
• Prepare Utility Letter “C” during 100% design phase to the affected utility owners for
City to review and approve prior to transmitting to utility owners. Two sets of half-
sized 100% plans will be provided to each utility owner as an attachment to the letter.
The letter will indicate to the utility owners whether any changes have been made to
the project plans since the Utility Letter “B” and will request written confirmation of
utility relocations and utility relocation schedule. A copy of the utility data obtained
from utility owners will be provided to the City, and the originals will be filed in the
project files.
• Consultant shall meet with utility companies as needed to ensure that conflicts are
identified and relocations performed if necessary.
• A potholing for utilities tasks shall be included as an alternative task.

electrical, erosion control, and/or water pollution prevention and any other plans
such as striping, roadways, and other miscellaneous plans shall be submitted for
