Project Approach
2
SYCAMORE CANYON PARK LOWER PARKING LOT PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE REMOVAL PROJECT
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
Understanding and Approach
Project Understanding
The primary goal of the Project is to remove the existing
timber pedestrian bridge over Diamond bar Creek
which connects the lower parking lot at Sycamore
Canyon Park with the adjacent trail system. The existing
pedestrian bridge appears to be in good condition;
however, based on discussion with the City and as
demonstrated in the City developed Project Exhibit,
the bridge has significant termite infestation which is
compromising the safety of the structure and bridge
removal is required. With removal of the bridge, a new
connection from the parking lot will be constructed utilizing
the existing maintenance road. Diamond bar Creek passes
under the existing maintenance road through a reinforced concrete box culvert, immediately upstream of the
existing pedestrian bridge. A new trail connection will be established through the adjacent park area. Access to the
maintenance road is currently restricted by a tubular swing gate. The City’s intent is to relocate the gate allowing
access for park users from the lower parking lot into Sycamore Canyon Park. While the intent of this project is to
correct the structural deficiency of the existing pedestrian bridge and provide a new access point for park users, it
is our understanding that the City would consider reestablishing the connection utilizing a new pedestrian bridge.
The existing bridge is approximately 32-feet long with three bents located within the limits of the creek. both
sides of the creek are lined with riprap in the immediate vicinity of the bridge. The bents are composed of timber
pile extensions which extend above the deck and support the timber railing. Timber cross beams connect to the
pile extension and support timber stringers. The stringers are supported by concrete abutments at the ends of
the bridge. beyond the limits of the bridge there is a concrete path connecting the adjacent trail and an asphalt
path connecting the adjacent parking lot. The bridge supports an electrical conduit which supplies power to a
single path light on the trail side of the bridge

Project Limits
Existing Bridge
Dewberry has dedicated Project Control staff that
ensure your project will remain on schedule and
within budget. Dewberry utilizes Deltek Vantagepoint
to track financial performance of the project, develop
earned value reports, and to identify potential budget
issues early in the project, when there is still the
opportunity to “right the ship”. All employee time
cards, subconsultant invoices, and other direct costs
are linked directly with Vantagepoint allowing for
instantaneous evaluation of financial performance.
Dewberry will schedule and prepare meeting agendas
and notes for the kick-off meeting and Project
Development Team (PDT) Meetings. The agenda will be
submitted to the City for review prior to the meeting.
Notes will be distributed to attendees within five (5)
working days after the meeting. The notes will include
discussion items, decisions made and actions items.
At Dewberry the importance of never compromising
quality is stressed to all employees. Quality checks
will be performed throughout the life of the project.
Dewberry has identified two senior level principal
engineers within the company responsible for QA, in
addition to Dennis Haglan as Principal in Charge, to
ensure that our project delivery team is preparing the
highest quality construction documents.
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
Developing a complete understanding of the
engineering challenges at the start of the project
is critical to efficient and successful development
of construction documents. Dewberry will perform
a field visit with the design team to identify site
constraints and assess the following:
• Relocated Pedestrian Walk Connection - We will
evaluate existing topography to identify possible
path alignments reconnecting the lower parking
lot with the adjacent existing trail.
• Trail lighting - Service for the light adjacent to the
bridge is carried by the existing bridge. We will
identify alternative service connection points and
confirm any constraints that may affect delivery of
electrical power. We will evaluate existing lighting
to confirm adequacy of existing lights and provide
recommendations for additional lighting if required.
• Soil Conditions - our geotechnical engineer will
look at exposed soils to understand any potential
issues that may be faced during construction
related to grading or shoring. We will also
evaluate the existing bridge piles to develop a
removal strategy which minimizes impacts to the
existing creek bed.
• Environmental Constraints - our environmental
team will perform a biological and cultural
resources review of the project area and work with
the design team to develop a removal plan and
relocated trail design which minimizes impacts to
any environmental resources identified.
• Irrigation and Park Elements - We will identify any
existing irrigation and park elements that may
impacted. As shown in the picture above, existing
trash and recycling receptacles will need to be
relocated with removal of the trail connection.
Park Elements
In addition to the field visit, Dewberry will request
and review any available improvement plans or
documentation. Dewberry will request input from City
Maintenance staff as they are most familiar with the
park operations and will have the best understanding
of potential challenges. Compiling all available
background information will allow the design team to
hit the ground running during preliminary engineering.
If required, the Dewberry team will perform field
topographic survey capturing all visible features within
the defined survey boundary, including but not limited
to utilities, trail limits, curbs, gutters, fences, lighting,
landscape and hardscape features.

BRIDGE REMOVAL
Prior to developing bridge demolition plans, Dewberry
will evaluate the existing bridge for hazardous
materials. Hazardous materials typically found in
older bridges include lead in the existing paint system
and asbestos used in shims, bearing pads, and other
bridge construction materials. As part of the field
visit, Dewberry will identify any potential hazardous
containing materials and request that our geotechnical
engineer obtain samples for further laboratory testing.
If hazardous materials are present, Dewberry will
include appropriate requirements within the contract
documents to address hazardous material disposal.
Existing Bridge
As part of the plan development, Dewberry will
consider potential impacts to both park users and the
environment. Delineating a work zone and ensuring
that it remains secure throughout construction
will allow the park to remain open and operational
during construction. Safety of the park users and
the contractor will be paramount in delineating the
available work zones. Potential environmental impacts
include biological, cultural, and noise. based on the
results of our proposed desk survey and field visit,
Dewberry environmental staff will provide appropriate
mitigation strategies to minimize impacts.
Removal of the bridge will impact the curb in the
adjacent parking lot as well as the electrical service for
the adjacent path light. The curb will be reconstructed
matching the existing adjacent curb. The electrical
service will need to be rerouted prior to staring
demolition of the bridge to avoid any disruption
in service to the park. Dewberry will work with our
electrical subconsultant and the City to ensure that
the existing lighting still meets current standards and
if not what additional lighting would be required to
satisfy current requirements.
All areas adjacent to the bridge will be reconstructed
and restored to match the adjacent existing
landforms. Dewberry will confirm if any existing
irrigation would be impacted as part of demolition
and if impacted Dewberry will prepare restoration
plans to ensure successful restoration of the
impacted area.
RECONNECT PATH
The first order of work in identifying the relocated
path alignment is understanding the needs of the
City regarding access to the maintenance roadway
and secured storage site. The existing swing gate will
need to be relocated in order to develop a connection
from the parking lot utilizing the existing culvert
over Diamond bar Creek at the maintenance road.
The gate will be moved up the roadway so that the
City can continue to restrict access to the secure
storage. bollards may also be used at the trailhead to
discourage vehicles from going around the gate.
When designing the relocated path, Dewberry will
evaluate several alignment options and provide
recommendations to the City. Dewberry will also
look into grading the new pedestrian walk to ensure
compliance with the Americans with Disability Act
(ADA) and that all accessibility requirements are
satisfied. One option could be to install a meandering
walking path. In developing these options, Dewberry
will consider the City’s concerns about minimizing
grading, particularly regarding cut and fill quantities.
Additionally, the possibility of installing retaining walls
will be explored.
Wayfinding signage can be installed to assist park
users in navigating the realigned trail connection.
Regulatory signage may be considered to restrict
access to the maintenance roadway given the swing
gate will likely be moved up the roadway away from
the connection to the parking lot.

abutment and adjacent parking lot, and two locations
adjacent to the western abutment. At each sample
location grab soil samples will be collected from about
0 to 6 inches, 12 to 18 inches, and 24 to 30 inches
below ground surface.
Soil samples will be collected using a hand auger;
power equipment will not be used to collect the
soil samples. Sampling equipment will be cleaned
between each sample location using a weak detergent
solution, and then rinsed with clean, potable water.
Cleaning and rinse water will be disposed of at
the site, away from drain inlets, waterways, and
environmentally sensitive areas. following sample
collection, the borings will be backfilled with adjacent
native material to return the borings to original grade.
Soil samples will be placed in clean containers
supplied by the laboratory. The samples will be
labeled with a unique identifying name, entered onto
a chain-of-custody, and transported to an ElAP-
accredited laboratory for analysis.
All 12 soil samples will be analyzed for total lead using
EPA Method 6010. Samples with lead concentrations
≥50 milligrams/kilogram will be further analyzed for
soluble lead (using both the WET and TCLP methods);
for budgeting purposes we assume 30% (4 samples)
will require the additional soluble lead analyses. one
sample from each abutment will be analyzed for pH
(EPA Method 9045).
