. , : ' EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES Project Desuiption The purpose of these services is to research right of way on Middlefield Road and to prepare preliminary streetscape design alternatives for Middlefield Road.The goal of the initial design is to create two streetscape plan alternatives for Middlefield Road between Main Street and Woodside Road.The streetscape designs will create a complete street which will balance public space allocation between pedestrians, bicycles, buses, tree planting, intersection bulbouts, passenger vehicles and trucks turns at select locations.The other factor in the planning of the streetscape on a block-by-block basis is the handling of the assumed private landscaping and fence/porch encroachments into the public right of way,and the impact on the cross section dimension.Due to the unresolved locations of property lines and the status of private facilities encroaching into the sidewalk,this work also includes research of county records and an opinion of property line location from a licensed land surveyor on some of the key property lines on Middlefield Road,which will inform decision making on the streetscape cross sections.The plan is intended to evaluate layout aRernatives for the curbline, bulbouts,crosswalks, and striping on a b�ock-by- block basis,wmpared with the previously studied typical cross sections. S2NIC2S TASK 1—RIGHT OF WAYANALYSIS 1.a Consultant will research at the county records office and the Consultant's Licensed Land Surveyor will review the research and further analyze the property lines along Middlefield Road. 1.b List of Properties: Consultant's project manager to review the color-coded map of Middlefleld Road,previously prepared,to create a list of 8-20 properties most critical to the streetscape property line analysis. i,c Record Research: Survey technician download vesting deeds at San Mateo County Records Department from county microfiche. Survey technician will print Grant Deeds at the County for the properties along Middlefield Road which match the list ftom previous Tasks. 1.d Licensed Land Sunreyor Review and Memorandum: Licensed land surveyor to review the Vesting Deeds collected from County Records Department to determine the status of the right of way acquisition from 1968 along the Middlefield Road ftontage. The estimate/goal is to evaluate 9 to 13 properties depending on the number of records obtained and the complexity of the Grant Deeds. Task 1 Deliverables: • List of 8-20 properties most critical to the streetscape property line analysis • Copies of relevant Gant Deeps and maps • Licensed Land Surveyor Review Memorandum TASK 2—STREETSCAPE LAYOUT DRAFT ALTFRNATIVES 2.a Using the streetscape cross sections previously prepared,Consultant will prepare two akernative streetscape design layouts. Cross section #4 with the sidewalk expanded to 10' wide (and bike zone decreased to 7'wide) is the ideal template, assuming no impact to adjacent residential landscaping and vertical st�uctures encroaching into the assumed public right of way. In some segmenu of Middlefield Road cross section#2 or cross section#4 with 7.5' wide sidewalk will be used as an option to minimize impact to existing facilities from adjacent residential properties. The 7.5' widening corresponds to a 75' back-of-walk to back-of-walk width (64' + 11') per the 1969 plans for Middlefield Road widening. The private property field analysis and photo binder which includes approximate dimensions to existing residential facilities previously prepared by Consultant wiil be used to assess the available space for streetscape improvements.Another factor considered in the alternatives analysis will be curb scenarios that reduce curb realignment between the intersections.The curb and striping design between each block cross section will follow AASHTO and Caltrans design standards for geometric layout.The lane alignments REV:10-03-14 VR Page 10 of 13 ATTY/AGR.2014.201/Bellecci&Associates
