Mr. John Wagstaff May 18, 2009 Page 2 of 3 2006 DPP EIR and the recent counts. This comparison showed several turning movements with substantial changes between 2005 and 2007-2008 - with some movements increasing and decreasing by as much as 50%. Thus, it cannot be conclusively shown that traffic conditions have not changed since the 2006 DPP EIR was prepared. However, data collection efforts are costly and may result in time delays for completion of the study if traffic counts cannot be collected before school is out for the summer on June 18, 2009. 3. Forecasting methods should be consistent with the General Plan and Mid-Point Technology Center EJR. The forecasting methods currently being applied for the General Plan Update and Mid-Point Technology Center are different from those used in the 2006 DPP EIR. The two current EIR are using the Redwood City's travel demand forecasting model, while the 2006 DPP EIR used a manual assignment of pending project traffic volumes plus an annual growth rate. These two methodologies could result in substantial differences between future year forecasts. If the resulting forecasts are substantially different and the number of study locations is reduced (see assumption 1 above), it is possible that there may be impacts at intersections that were dropped from the analysis. The fixed-fee cost to conduct the TIA as described in the scope of work is $69,700, which does not include new traffic counts or field observations. This fee estimate includes all professional and support staff time, as well as direct expenses, and will be billed on a monthly basis. Attendance at two project-level meetings and two public hearings is also included in this proposal. If there are requests for services outside the attached scope of work, we will make a written budget request prior to beginning work. Additional services will be conducted upon written authorization and billed on a time-and-materials basis according to the attached rate schedule (Attachment B). Our standard terms (Attachment C) apply to this proposal; the terms are valid for a period of 30 days. We estimate that we can complete the proposed scope of work and submit a draft report for your review within sixteen weeks of receipt of a signed contract and traffic counts and all relevant background information. Please sign below to indicate authorization to proceed. To prepare a comprehensive (analysis of all 42 locations), free-standing report with updated existing conditions, we estimate the fee would be $110,000 plus $18,480 for new vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian counts at 28 intersections. We estimate that these additional tasks would add four (4) weeks to the schedule, for a total of 20 weeks. Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call us. We look forward to working with you on this project. Sincerely, FEHR & PEERS Jason Nesdahl.
