~ _ L u, p~ Y.. d, f 5. For each improvement, use the drawings to determine quantities and right-of-way implications (full or partial take), and fill out the cost template to develop a cost estimate. 6. For each improvement, document the portion of the total cost that is covered by other ,6 committed sources of funding. Subtract committed #unding from the tots! project cost to determine the amount to be included in the fee calculations. Task B Deliverables and Meetings - ~ Technical memorandum that reports L4S results, documents forecast congestion, identifies improvements to address congestion, and presents schematic design drawings and cost estimates for identified projects. (15 copies plus an electronic version in MS Word will be ~ submitted.) • A meeting with the Cities` staffs (to review the initial cast es#imates and develop consensus on methodology). ~ Task G: Develop the Transportation Impact Fee ~ The purpose of this task is to utilize the land use, modeling, and project cost data to calculate the - ~ defensible fee level, identify appropriate internal fee area boundaries, and determine a fee level and _ ~ structure that is reasonable as well as supported by the nexus analysis. Modeling. The first step is to develop model data That will establish the nexus between planned future development and the needed improvements. To keep the fee structure as simple as possible, we will first evaluate the land use and improvement cost data to determine whether a single fee is defensible for the entire study area. If the proportion of new trips in each part of the study area is in line with the proportion of project costs in that area, a singfeper--trip cost would be justified throughout the study area and there would be no need for internal fee areas. Since this study area has the complexity of two jurisdictions, it is possible that a single zone fee structure may not be supported by the data. Assuming that it is not, we will explore op#fonal approaches for relating trips to costs, relating the total trip generation to total improvement cost by geographic area. The objective of this analysis will be to find a method that establishes a clear connection between trips and improvement costs. The model data will be tailored to the type of nexus being established. If the land use and cost data support a single fee level throughout the area, data that demonstrate trip interactions between different parts of the study area will establish the nexus. If the planned development and the needed improvements are dispersed throughout the study area, we will use model data to determine each area's trip contributions to each improvement project, and perform a fair share calculation to establish appropriate fee levels. When the modeling is performed to establish the nexus, we will also use the model to determine the sources of existing trips on those roadways, so existing trips can be subtracted and cost allocations are assigned only to future developments. 12 JTL770153.09 Klmley-Hom t~ and Assodaies, lno. 25C-22
