• Parking management plan Task 2.2 Technology Evaluation Consultant shall survey the City's existing system, including a check of point-to-point communications (if necessary) with proper test equipment (e.g. EGOTDR for fiber optics) and shall interview operations staff to understand issues with current equipment. Based on the evaluation, Consultant shall develop a tailored solution which may include some of the following: replacing copper with fiber to improve reliability, replacing or upgrading the operating system from Windows, wireless (line of site) and/or cellular communications adjustments. Task 2.2 Deliverables • Task 2.2 Technical memo -Technology Evaluation Task 2.3 Best Practices Consultant shall evaluate parking management practices in up to four case studies comparable to downtown Redwood City. Consultant shall select case studies that have strategies and policies that directly relate to the City's challenges. Relevant findings of best practices shall be developed and provided as detailed examples and excerpts for each case study city for the deliverables listed in Task 2.1 (technical memo and parking management plan). Best practice examples may include but are not limited to: analysis of pricing structure and policies, finance strategies, employee parking programs, and parking supply development. Particular focus shall be paid to model shared use agreements (e.g. Portland, OR and Seattle, WA). Task 3.0 Supply Evaluation Task 3.1 Parking Supply Needs The parking behaviors determined by Consultant's utilization analysis shall be the basis for assessing the baseline needs and deficiencies in the current parking system. Data shall also be analyzed to determine a parking deficit or surplus given current demand (segmented by downtown subarea). Consultant shall analyze the occupancy data to determine if there is sufficient on- and off-street supply. Consultant shall overlay the demand profile on the existing downtown precise plan map to indicate where there are gaps and thus strong demand for more supply. Hot spots and deficits shall be tabulated and mapped by downtown subarea. Task 3.2 Future Parking Demand Analysis Consultant shall tailor the parking demand model developed for the MTC Smart Growth Parking Study to calibrate baseline parking demand to existing land uses in the study area as this model's special feature is that it produces demand estimates that are specific to the characteristics of the area being studied in terms of land use, parking supply, parking costs, and transit availability. To estimate future demand, Consultant shall provide a baseline model that can be populated with future development scenario(s) to estimate future parking demand for the City study area. Consultant shall provide a model that can be developed in one or more scenarios to determine a level of development that triggers the need for new parking supply or other management interventions. For this task, the City staff shall develop the scenarios and Consultant shall guide city staff in the population of the model. ATTY/AGR.2012.175/CDM SMITH INC. REV: 11-1-12 VR Page 13 of 19
