Feasibility As part of the Phase 1 Feasibility Phase, Redwood City is preparing a Study feasibility study for provision of ferry service to and from Redwood City ("Feasibility Study'). The Feasibility Study will examine ridership demand; develop models for projected operating costs and fare revenue; evaluate the "cost-effectiveness" of a new ferry terminal and service; and evaluate possible ferry routes for public ferry service provided by WETA at a future Redwood City Ferry Terminal. The Feasibility Study will also develop concept -level designs and cost estimates for terminal facilities consistent with other WETA terminals throughout the WETA system. While the City has secured funding for the Feasibility Study, Redwood City and WETA have not secured funding for the subsequent Business Plan, Planning, Design, Construction, and Operations phases. If the Parties determine during the Phase 1 Feasibility and Phase 2 Business Plan that ferry service to and from Redwood City is both feasible and financially viable, and additional necessary funding is secured, WETA, Port and City will amend this MOU or enter into a new agreement defining specific roles and responsibilities, including funding, for subsequent Project phases. City will serve as the project lead, with assistance from WETA and the Port, for the Feasibility Study that will include technical analyses, ridership demand, route evaluation, outreach, cost -benefit and economic impact analyses, preliminary terminal configuration and financial feasibility analysis, including estimates of capital and operating costs and forecasts of ridership and fare revenue. 8.
