City of Redwood City Trc Mitigation Fee Study-Phase II Proposal-January 11,1999 City about recent legal history and state-of-the-practice methodologies to assure that the City is comfortable with the legal defensibility of the fee system. General Approach to Preliminary Engineering and Cost Estimating The general approach to base mapping, preliminary drawings and order of magnitude cost estimates for the anticipated traffic mitigation projects is to work interactively between the team and City staff. Mark Thomas & Co. will develop preliminary plans based on improvements identified in the study. The team will prepare concept plans of the 1raffic improvements, taking into consideration available right of way, potential environmental concerns and impacts to existing facilities such as utilities and public improvements. Our proposed methodology for cost estimating is based on the method developed by the Alameda County Transportation Authority (ACT A) cost estimating guide. The development of the concepts and alternatives will be an interactive process that will focus on the following: . Viable projects within the existing right of way. Sensitivity to community awareness and community needs. Design for trucks in industrial and commercial areas. Maintaining close coordination between the project team and City staff, and potentially with other agencies as necessary. Designs that consider funding and construction phasing. . . . . Detailed Work Program Below is the scope of work for Phase II of the fee. Some of tasks are outlined broadly, since the tasks involve decisions and options to be selected by the City. Some aspects of the initial tasks have been completed as part of Phase I of the study. The rust task will be to meet with the City and refine and detail each and every task and produce a refined scope of work as the first deliverable. Task I. Mobilization/Refine Scope 1.1 Kick-Off Meeting Key personnel on the team will attend a kick-off meeting. The purpose ofthe initial kick-off meeting is to address the following issues: . Overview of fee methods and limitations, supplementing discussions in Phase I Identify standards of significance Identify planning horizons Collect relevant documents Address major improvement projects and extent of study area Discuss existing deficiencies and assessment districts Coordinate with Transportation Authority, C/CAG and Caltrans . . . . . .
