Fehr & Peers Subconsultant Agreement with Hauge Brueck Associates. LLC for the Saltworks Project Traffic Operations Analysis Given the complexity and levels of congestion in the study area roadway network, a detailed discussion of appropriate traffic operations methodology will be important. As part of this task Fehr & Peers will work with the ERMT (and others, such as Caltrans and neighboring jurisdictions, as appropriate) to identify an appropriate traffic operations analysis methodology. 4.9 Project Setting Fehr & Peers will prepare the project setting section related to transportation. The setting will be prepared in sufficient level of detail to: • demonstrate that an appropriate baseline condition will be established to assess the Project against the environmental thresholds described in Task 4.7 • demonstrate that adequate information will be provided to complete the environmental analysis methodology section described in Task 4.8 • identify what data is required, including what data is readily available and what data still needs to be prepared. A substantial portion of this task will involve identifying an appropriate study area, which will likely require an analytical approach, such as traffic operations analysis and travel demand forecasting. The work related to model development is described in Task 6.6. Fehr & Peers will use these tools to define a study area with analytical rationale. This task includes collecting weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic counts at up to 50 intersections and 10 freeway segments. Following confirmation of the study area and study facilities and data collection, Fehr & Peers will prepare the technical analysis and documentation associated with the existing conditions in the study area for the transportation impact study. This will include the following: • Intersection level of service calculations for the weekday AM and PM peak hours using the Synchro analysis software Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology for isolated intersections. • Freeway facility level of service calculations using the HCM and /or Leisch methodologies, as appropriate, and based on conversations with Caltrans • A summary of existing bus transit service and Caltrain in the study area. This summary will include routes, frequencies, nearby stops, and peak period ridership, to the extent such information is provided to us by the respective agencies • A qualitative discussion of existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the study area Task 4 Deliverables: • Draft Environmental Thresholds for use in environmental review • Preliminary transportation analysis methodology • Preliminary trip generation forecasts, with discussion regarding elements of the Project, or potential additional elements that could be included, that have the greatest effect on auto trip generation Saltworks Project Task Order No. 001 Page 5
