Environmental Consulting Services (aoo East First American Way) I City of Santa Ana ■ Attendance atone site visit (assumes up to four team members), including drive time and preparation. ■ Draft and final project description and objectives (assumes one round of review and revision) ■ Memo documenting information requests. Task 2. Prepare Technical Studies Due to the nature and location of the proposed project it is anticipated that the following technical studies will be required: ■ Traffic Impact Analysis ■ Air Quality Impact and Greenhouse Gas Analysis ■ Noise Impact Study ■ Cultural Resources Study It is anticipated that the applicant would provide a preliminary level of site specific technical analysis including: preliminary site plan, grading plans, a preliminary geotechnical study, and a water quality management plan. 'r,0i4: HAI Provid:,d i',y U.6 The following tasks are included in preparation of a project specific TIA, which will be summarized in the IS/MND and included as an Appendix. TIA Task 1: Project Mobilization ■ LLG will confirm the project description, work schedule, and assumptions to be utilized in the TIA. This will include the assumptions to be used for the project completion year and anticipated phasing, if any. LLG would need to obtain a current project site plan that illustrates the access scheme to the project site in both hard copy and digital formats. ■ LLG will work with City staff to discuss the project and analysis criteria, confirm the study approach, identify pertinent traffic issues and concerns, and formalize the Scope of Work for the TIA, which will be submitted to the City for review and approval. TIA Task 2: Data Collection and Research ■ Visit the project study area to confirm existing conditions with respect to existing site development, local area development, site access, parking use, and areas of congestion in order to verify our overall understanding of traffic conditions in the area that might affect this project. ■ Document the existing roadway striping, traffic control measures, curbside parking restrictions, adjacent intersection configurations, and other pertinent roadway features. ■ Obtain existing street improvement plans/striping plans for key roadways in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Compile information with regards to planned street improvements in the project study area. ■ Conduct AM peak period and PM peak period traffic volume counts at up to fifteen (15) study intersections. The traffic counts will be conducted between the hours of Too AM and 9:0o AM and 4:00 PM and 6:0o PM. These traffic volume data will be utilized in the traffic impact analysis for the project. The number and location of the study intersections will be verified with City staff prior to commencement of the analysis. Should traffic and analysis of additional intersections be required (i.e., more than i5 intersections), an amendment to the TIA scope and budget will be necessary. ■ Conduct 24-hour machine traffic counts at up to fifteen (15) roadway segments to support the Greenhouse Gas, Air Quality and Noise analyses. ■ Research data at the City of Santa Ana, adjacent jurisdictions and recent traffic impact studies prepared for developments in the project vicinity regarding the status of other proposed developments (related projects) in the area that may contribute cumulative impacts to the adjacent street system and study locations in the vicinity of the proposed project. The compiled list of related projects will be forwarded for review and approval by City staff. ■ Obtain development information for the remaining vacant portion of the 3-acre parcel to include as a related project in the cumulative traffic setting. Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal. Page 10
