EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FEE Scope of Services Task 1 - SB 743 Decision Process In this task, Consultant shall revisit the metrics that were identified in the draft Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (Task E.2) in light of OPR's final guidelines and technical advisory (released December 2018) to ensure that: - They are still applicable, and To further, refine these metrics and methodology for use with future projects in the City of Redwood City. Task 1.A - Select VMT Metric The City of Redwood City has the discretion to choose the most appropriate methodology to evaluate a project's VMT, including how the results of that methodology are expressed. Generally, VMT is expressed in one of two ways: per capita (i.e. VMT per resident, VMT per worker, VMT per service population) and total (all VMT associated with a project or plan). Consultant shall draft a white paper that describes the benefits and considerations for each of these VMT metrics and how these different metrics may affect development in the City. This white paper will provide updated and additional information from what was presented in the draft Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (Task E.2). Task 1.13 - Select VMT Methodology A VMT methodology is the approach used to analyze a project's effect on VMT. Selecting a VMT methodology can be done simultaneously with selecting a metric, as they will inform each other. There are three project types for which a methodology will be defined; they may use a consistent methodology, or have a unique methodology for each. • Transportation Plans and Projects, such as changes in roadway configurations, new bridges, etc. • Land Use Projects, such as individual developments. • Land Use Plans, such as area plans, specific plans, and general plans. The VMT methodology will consider the following two items: 1. Screening Methods The first set of VMT methods consist of a variety of screening methods, which can be used to exempt a project from additional analysis. Some examples of screening criteria include transit priority areas, low VMT areas, and areas that are consistent with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's Sustainable Communities Strategy.
