<br /> ~ <br /> <br /> ~ SCOPE OF WORK, cont. <br /> <br /> <br /> Scenario Project Conditions - Scenario 2 background volumes plus traffic generated by the <br /> proposed development. <br /> ~ Scenario Cumulative Conditions - Project Conditions volumes plus traffic associated <br /> with other pending developments in the area. This scenario will include the <br /> ~ potential buildout remaining in the Precise Plan. <br /> Trip Generation <br /> ~ Hospitals and medical office buildings have unique trip-generating characteristics that can vary even <br /> between hospital operators. In order to accurately estimate the number of vehicle trips that will be <br /> ~ generated by the project, this scope of work includes traffic and parking surveys of the existing <br /> ~ Sequoia Hospital campus, to estimate peak hour trip rates, based on the existing number of beds, <br /> building area and number of providers (i.e., doctors), as well as determine the maximum parking <br /> ~ demand. The resulting trip generation rates will be compared with rates calculated in previous studies <br /> conducted by Fehr & Peers, as well as standard Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip <br /> generation rates. The Kaiser Redwood City EIR traffic analysis and Health Facility Planning report <br /> ~ will be reviewed to evaluate the applicability of those assumptions regarding hospital space planning <br /> and trip generation. Finalized trip generation estimates will be developed and submitted to City staff <br /> for review and approval, prior to conducting the traffic impact assessment. <br /> ~ Project Impacts & Miti ation <br /> <br /> ~ The impacts of the proposed project on the surrounding roadway system will be identified by <br /> comparing the results of the level of service calculations for Background Conditions to the results for <br /> Project Conditions. <br /> ~ For significant impacts, feasible mitigation measures will be identified to reduce impacts to a less than <br /> significant level, where possible. Measures could include physical improvements (such as adding turn <br /> ~ lanes, installing traffic signals, or restricting turning movements), as well as methods to modify the <br /> traffic demand of the project such as reducing the size of the project, enhancing facilities for <br /> alternative modes, and implementing Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures. <br /> ~ Fehr & Peers will calculate the project's impact fee for each development alternative based on the <br /> City's fee schedule. Additional contributions may be required for improvements not included in the <br /> ~ City's fee program related to emergency vehicle access and other circulation impacts. <br /> Project impacts to the surrounding transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities will be identified. <br /> ~ The impacts of construction phasing to pedestrian circulation, traffic circulation, and parking will be <br /> evaluated, based on a phasing plan provided by the City and/or Applicant. <br /> ~ <br /> <br /> ~ <br /> Sequoia Hospital Campus Project/Precise Plan EIR Scope of Services <br /> ~ David J.
