EXHIBIT A-1: SCOPE OF WORK INFORMATION Sponsoring Agency: Lead/Implementing Agency: Contact: Redwood City Ferry Project City of Redwood City City of Redwood City Jessica Manzi, Transportation Manager 650.780.7372 j manzi (aredwoodcity. org 1017 Middlefield Road Redwood City Project Description and Scope of Work: Project Description The Redwood City Ferry Project seeks to create a mid -peninsula transit hub which will be the southernmost terminal in the San Francisco Bay Ferry system. The first phase in the Project is to conduct a Financial Feasibility Study (Study) and Cost Benefit Analysis (Analysis) which will assist in determining whether new ferry service to Redwood City is viable. Assuming a favorable review, the City and the Port of Redwood City (Port) will consider moving forward with developing a Business Plan which will outline the steps of constructing a terminal and beginning new ferry service. The ferry service seeks to help alleviate congestion along the US -101 corridor and provide an additional transportation alternative. Origin and destination points for the possible ferry service will include San Francisco and the East Bay. The terminal will be located on Port right-of-way. Ferry service will be provided by the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA). Initial service will be during weekday commute periods. As the service matures, midday, evening, weekend and special event service could be introduced. The ferry is anticipated to make a trip from the Redwood City terminal to San Francisco in under an hour. Initial conceptual studies were completed in 2007 by the Port and WETA. The initial concept for the project described a terminal and landside facilities which included: • A single float capable of loading two vessels at once • 300 parking spaces • Long-term bike storage, and • Curb space for last mile shuttle connections Since those studies were first completed in 2007, housing and employment characteristics throughout the mid -peninsula have changed and as a result the potential ferry terminal and landside facilities may change.
