Box 391 Redwood City, California 94064-0391 ~ Subject: Proposal to Conduct a Traffic Study for the 990 Veterans Boulevard Site Redevelopment Dear Mr. Williams: Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare a traffic analysis for the proposed upgrade of the existing service station located at 990 Veterans Boulevard. The project as proposed will consist of replacing the existing service station with a new service station, mini-market and car wash. Our proposed scope of services is based on our experience working in Redwood City. Our proposed Scope of Services, Time of Perfonnance, and Cost for Services are described below. Scope of Services The tasks to be included in the analysis are: 1. Site Reconnaissance. The physical characteristics ofthe site and the surrounding roadway network will be reviewed to identify existing roadway cross-sections, intersection lane configurations, traffic control devices, and surrounding land uses. 2. Project Trip Generation. Based on the proposed project description, site-generated traffic will be estimated using the vehicular trip generation rates specified by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Reductions for pass-by trips will be applied as appropriate. Trip generation for the proposed project will be calculated and the site will be credited for trips generated by the existing service station on site. The project trip generation will be submitted to the City Traffic Engineer for review. 3. Project Trip Distribution. The directional distribution of project traffic will be forecast based on existing travel patterns, relative locations of complementary land uses in the area, and any pertinent infonnation available from previous traffic studies. The pass-by trip distribution, which is based on different traffic characteristics, will be estimated separately, based on the assumed origins and destinations of the existing trips passing by the site. The project trip distribution will be submitted to the City Traffic Engineer for review. 4. Project Trip Assignment. The site-generated traffic will be assigned to the site driveways based on the trip generation and distribution discussed above. The pass-by trips will be estimated based on the pass-by trip distribution. The project trip assignment will be submitted to the City Traffic Engineer for review. 5. Evaluation of Site Access, On-Site Circulation and Parking. The site plan will be reviewed with regard to traffic circulation patterns at the driveways and on site, queuing demand versus storage 40 South Market Street, Suite 600 .
