Planning Project <br />Fehr & Peers employs a Quality Control (QC) <br />process on all transportation planning and traffic <br />operations projects. At the core of the QC process <br />is a hierarchy of staff that are responsible for <br />various aspects of each project. The following <br />hierarchy may be employed on any given project <br />depending on the project requirements and <br />resources. <br />The Principal -in -Charge or Associate -in -Charge <br />provides oversight, review, and strategic direction <br />on the study as necessary. <br />The Project Manager (PM) is responsible for the <br />overall quality of the study, and adherence to <br />schedule and budget. The PM is the primary point <br />of contact for the client. <br />The Project Engineer/Planner conducts the <br />technical calculations, prepares reports, and <br />supports the PM. Experts are individuals that <br />have considerable experience on specific topics <br />and are available to collaborate on innovative <br />solutions to a variety of planning and operational <br />problems. <br />Technical/Administrative Staff includes individuals <br />who prepare high -quality graphics, process <br />reports, set up conference calls, and conduct <br />other project -related activities as necessary. This <br />staff allows our Engineers and Project Managers <br />to focus on the technical analysis. <br />The QC process varies by the prevailing <br />jurisdiction's requirements and type of analysis <br />being conducted (e.g., General Plan, Traffic <br />Impact Study Guidelines, etc.). A transportation <br />engineerlplanner who is not directly involved in <br />this study reviews all technical calculations for <br />accuracy. The technical calculations may include <br />but are not limited to the following; <br />• Trip Generation Calculations <br />• Intersection LOS analysis <br />• Trip Assignment 1 Trip Distribution <br />assumptions <br />• Roadway segment LOS analysis <br />• Travel demand forecasts <br />• Mitigation testing <br />• Traffic operations analysis <br />• Documentation <br />The same transportation engineer or a separate <br />document specialist ensures consistency of <br />figures and tables in the report with technical <br />calculations, thereby minimizing the likelihood <br />of technical errors that could affect the study <br />findings. <br />Grant Writing <br />Fehr & Peers has successfully helped agencies <br />and their stakeholders win over 65 grant funding <br />pursuits totaling awards of over $260 mil. <br />Grant applications often include data like VMT <br />analysis, ridership for transit projects, or number <br />of users/trips for bike/pedestrian projects. With <br />our in-depth knowledge and experience in areas <br />such as forecasting, multimodal operations, goods <br />movement, and benefit -cost analysis, we are <br />uniquely qualified to assist in navigating numerous <br />types of funding programs. To date, Fehr & Peers <br />has successfully helped agencies and their <br />stakeholders win over 50 grant funding pursuits <br />totaling awards of over $180 mil. Our experience <br />has ranged from preparing the entire grant <br />application to providing portions of the application <br />such as conducting needed analyses, feasibility <br />studies, ridership forecasts or VMT reduction <br />estimates. Fehr & Peers has experience in all <br />types of grants (examples shown below) with over <br />$46 mil in awards for Tiger grants alone. <br />• Caltrans Sustainable Communities <br />Planning Grants <br />• Caltrans Active Transportation Program <br />(ATP) <br />• Regional Funding Programs <br />• Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement <br />Program (HSIP) <br />• California Transportation Commission's <br />SB 1 Programs such as Local Partnership <br />and Solutions for Congested Corridors <br />• Strategic Growth Council Transformative <br />Climate Communities Planning Grant <br />• Strategic Growth Council Cap and <br />Trade ---Affordable Housing Sustainable <br />Communities <br />• US Department of Transportation Grants <br />(TIGER, BUILD) <br />FEHR & PEERS <br />
