Mr. Peter Vorometsanti May /4, 2009 Page 2 Modeling the ferry terminal dictates that TJKM create a special generator procedure In the model at the T AZ for the proposed terminal site. Review and analysis of ferry ridership forecasts and land-side vehicle access/occupancy/parking data provided by the Water Emergency Transit Agency, and communication with City staff regarding the resulting peak hour trip generation assumptions to be used In the model Is Included In this task. TJKM proposes a fee of $42,750 to perform the expanded scope of work required to add these major transit Infrastructure Improvements to the traffic model for the new General Plan alternatives. In addition, TJKM anticipates that the following expanded tasks, whIch are also beyond the scope of work and budget of our original contract, will be needed to provide the modeling services the City requires for both the General Plan and Individual development traffic studies: Preparation of Transportation Network Assumptions for Cumulative Model The Cumulative General Plan scenario wlll Include development of the DMB Redwood City Saltworks (Saltworks) project. City staff has forwarded TJKM some documents submItted by the applicant, which Include a "Saltworks Specific Plan Cumulative Project DescrlptlonU (one paragraph of text), and the following materials (dated March 17, 2009): conceptual site plan, on-site roadway cross-sections, and narratIve descriptions of various transportatIon network connections, services, and trip reduction measures. City staff Is providIng the land use data by TAZ for Input to the model. However, TJKM must stili perform significant revIew and analysis of the transportation network Information provided to prepare the network assumptions and trIp reduction factors to be used In the Cumulative model. TJKM wtll also create a special generator In the model at the T AZ for the recreation field area proposed on the project site. These tasks are beyond the scope of work In our original contract. At this time, pending discussion with City staff to further define the transportation network assumptions, estImating the scope and budget for th,s task Is difficult. TJKM proposes to perform this particular task by charging our standard billIng rates on a tlme~and-materlals basis with a not- to-exceed limit of $8,500 unless the City provides prior written authorization for any additional charges. ContInuing "On-Call" Model Support Services We understand that the City Is likely to require use of the traffic model for future traffic Impact studies of large development projects, as Is the case with the Stanford Campus Extension EIR study that Hexagon Is currently perlormlng. Under our original contract, TJKM will provide a copy of the traffic model to other parties with written authorization from the City. However, we anticipate occasions when those partIes will request additional Information and support for the model from TJKM similar to our recent Interactions wIth Hexagon regarding the Stanford project as mentioned above, a level of support which was not Included In the scope of our original contract. AddItionally, TJKM responses to detailed Inquiries or requests from City staff or consultants that go beyond explanation or c1arlflcatlon of model assumptions and the forecasts produced, such as those Involving queries or manipulatIon of model data flies or generation of new data, are additional work outside our original scope. TJKM proposes to provide this continuing flon-call" model support service as needed on a task order basis. Before responding to any detailed Inquiry or request for model support, TJKM would provide the City with an estimate of our anticipated charges, and we would proceed only rf the City gives us approval. As an Initial budget for these on-call services to be Included In the requested-contract amendment, TJKM suggests not-to-exceed limIt of $25,000.
