APPROVE CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR DEVELOPING THE LANDSCAPING
COMPONENT OF THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RIGHT OF WAY (IRON HORSE CORRIDOR)
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
APRIL 21, 1998
11. Financiiallmpact.
There is no impact to the General Fund. The project is jointly funded by the Redevelopment
Agency and the Southern Pacific Right of Way Trust fund.
Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The Board of Supervisors directed the Public Works and Community Development Departments
to develop a Management Program for the Southern Pacific Right of Way from Concord to the
Alameda County line. The Management Program shall include a landscaping component that will
provide criteria for landscaping within the right of way and look at financing mechanisms for
implementation and maintenance of landscaping. An advisory committee was formed to work with
the two departments to development the landscaping component of the Management Program.
The Advisory Committee is comprised of a representative from the East Bay Regional Park
District and citizen representatives from the cities of San Ramon, Danville, Concord, Walnut
Creek and Pleasant Hill, the community of Alamo and Supervisor Districts 3 and 4. The committee
determined that consultant services would be necessary to develop the landscaping component
of the Management Program. A request for proposals was sent to several landscape, planning
and financial consultants. We received eight proposals. A subcommittee of the Advisory
Committee short-listed the proposals and interviewed the top four firms'. Bluhon Planning Group
was selected to do the work.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Lack of approval will delay the development Southern Pacific Right of Way (iron Horse Corridor)
Management Program

Approve Consulting Service Agreement with Subsurface Consultants, Inc. regarding Geotechnical
Consultation for the San Ramon Creek Improvement Project, Alamo area.
Page 2
April 21, 1998
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
San Ramon Creek, between Chaney Road and Livorna Road, is an unimproved natural channel.
The previously approved project will consist of widening the channel and constructing bank
protection measures to reduce the risk of flooding to the adjacent neighborhood and protect the
channel banks from erosion. Bank protection measures will consist of a concrete drop structure,
a concrete bank energy dissipater wall, a rectangular concrete channel, rock slope protection and
rock-filled gabion baskets. Geotechnical Consultation is needed for the foundations of these
structures.
The "on-call" services of a consultant are needed to provide a review of the geological formations
uncovered during construction and to revise previously provided geotechnical recommendations
as necessary. Subsurface Consultants, Inc. performed the previous geotechnical investigation
of this project and is most qualified to augment or revise those recommendations.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the Consulting Services Agreement is not approved, geological formations uncovered during
construction will not be reviewed by a geotechnical engineer.
