Study limits and locations will be confirmed in consultation with City and Caltrans staff. Intersection analyses for both a.m. and p.m. peak hour conditions will be conducted utilizing City traffic impact analysis guidelines and prescribed analysis methodologies. Roadway segments will be analyzed using the City's maximum roadway capacity LOS tables, and the study intersections will be analyzed using the Intersection Capacity Utilization method. URS will develop future baseline (No Project) traffic volumes using the latest approved City traffic model projections. A Future -No -Project and Future -With -Project LOS analysis will be conducted at the study intersections and roadway segments. The traffic analysis also will provide, as necessary, traffic mitigation measures at impacted locations for inclusion in the CEQA and NEPA documents. Initial Site Assessment (ISA) Report — An ISA report will be prepared in accordance with Caltrans' SER, Volume 1, Chapter 10 (Hazardous Waste) to confirm potentially hazardous material and waste impacts and any need for further assessment/remediation. This scope of work does not include any investigation or reporting beyond that required as part of the ISA report. It could be that demolition of the affected structures/buildings require further follow-up investigation (e.g., asbestos, lead -based paint, etc.). If required, URS could perform such follow-up investigations under an amendment to the contract. Relocation Impact Statement — A Relocation Impact Statement (RIS) pursuant to reporting requirements set forth in Caltrans' Right of Way Manual, Chapter 10 (Relocation Assistance), Section 10.02.00.00 (Relocation Impact Documents). In coordination with the City's Right of Way Agent, URS will prepare the RIS to, moreover, identify the number and types of relocations (e.g., residential and commercial); provide an assessment of the availability of replacement property; and describe regulations as it pertains to financial assistance for displacees (e.g., Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Properties Acquisition Policies Act of 1970). The RIS will be signed by the City and Caltrans Right of Way Agents. Other environmental issues that will be addressed in the CEQA and NEPA re-evaluation documents, as applicable, but for which stand-alone technical studies will not be prepared, include biological resources; water quality and floodplains; geology and soils; Environmental Justice/Title VI; and visual resources. Assumptions / Deliverables: ➢ Each technical study will cover both Phases 3 and 4. ➢ A total of 10 copies each of the draft and final technical studies will be delivered (5 to City, and 5 to Caltrans). ➢ Draft technical studies will be reviewed no more than twice each by the City and Caltrans (allowing for one round of revision per comments issued by the City and Caltrans). Task 2 — NEPA Re -Validation and Written Evaluation A NEPA Re -Validation Form will be prepared and supported through preparation of a Written Evaluation will be prepared pursuant to Caltrans' SER, Volume 1, Chapter 33 [Reevaluations) and 23 CFR 771.129 and FHWA Technical Advisory T6640.8A. The Re -Validation Form will be utilized from the template form included on Caltrans' SER. For purposes of the re-evaluation, as with all other studies addressed herein, it is assumed that the proposed project has not changed in scope and no other build alternatives, above and 12
