Scope of Services Fehr & Peers will assist Redwood City with updating the City's Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program. The goal of the TIF update is to support a comprehensive transportation network that accommodates the traffic and transportation generated by new development in the City. This analysis will demonstrate the nexus between the local fees and the impacts created by new development over a 20-year period. Phase 1- Five-Year TIF Report Task 1-1 - Assist City Staff with Five- Year Report Government Code Section 66001(d) calls for a five-year report (after the first deposit into the TIF account) that includes findings regarding fee purpose, funding sources and anticipated amounts, and approximate dates of funding acquisition. We anticipate that City staff will take the lead in preparing the five-year report with input provided by Fehr & Peers. Text from previous annual reports is expected to be used to develop the required findings, and we propose to provide 40 hours of staff time to review the five-year report and provide input regarding project status implementation issues. Phase 11- TIF Proaram Update Task 11-1 - Summary of Growth Projections and Current Fee Status A key input to the traffic forecasting process is the estimate of future development in Redwood City and in surrounding cities. The San Mateo City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) travel demand model is currently in the process of being updated and will likely not be available for use on this project by late 2005 and early 2006. Thus, we propose to use the current version of the C/CAG model that was developed using land use projections based on ABAG's Projections 2000 and includes refined zonal land use figures for 2025. We will summarize these projections and present them to City staff for their review prior to incorporating them into the travel model. We will convert the future land use in Redwood City into Dwelling Unit Equivalents (DUEs), using the same conversion factors process used in the original TIF study, but updated using trip rates from the latest edition of Trip Generation (Seventh Edition, 2003). The land use forecasts will be prepared for the City as a whole, and not broken down into smaller geographic areas or districts. Thus, our analysis will not address the potential for district-specific fees. The City will provide information on the funds collected to date through the TIF program, and the projects constructed using those funds. We will summarize the information provided in a technical memorandum. Task 11-2 -Identification of Transportation Improvement Projects and Cost Estimates Because of the limited amount of time that has elapsed since the original TIF analysis was prepared and due to the reduced existing traffic volumes due to the economic downturn, we 4 fþ ~.! fP,& I'E¡=RS
