Iat Group City of Santa Arta - September 2, 2015 Under this amendment request No. 4, given the time period of over three years that will have pass between the traffic counts and release of the draft environmental impact report (EIR), is it appropriate to obtain updated traffic counts at all the previously counted locations from the original contract and under Amendment No. 1 t o ensure that the traffic analysis utilizes the most up to date information and data available. Therefore, the data collection effort would consist of new AM and PM peak period traffic counts at all 40 intersections and 24 -daily traffic volumes at all 24 roadway locations. The AM and PM intersection counts will also include collection of bicycle and pedestrian volumes at the intersections. These counts are associated with additional roadway reclassifications identified by the City of Santa Ana for analysis and advancement of the OCTA MPAH Amendment process. Amendment request No. 4 also includes new AM and PM peak hour counts at up to 36 intersections to account for the MPAH reclassification. The additional counts will also include collection of bicycle and pedestrian volumes at intersections. Task 4: Evaluation of Master Streets and Highways Plan This new amendment involves work efforts that will be completed by IBI Group to analyze up to 36 additional intersections in the traffic analysis beyond those contained in the original contract and the previous two amendments. IBI Group will also coordinate with OCTA to provide inputs for a single new OCTAM model run to develop updated Year 2035 traffic forecasts that include the additional modifications to the MPAH roadway network identified by the city. IBI Group will post -process the updated model forecasts obtained from OCTA, incorporate the up to 36 additional intersections into the traffic impact analysis, and update our July 2014 draft traffic study, including the analysis of 40 previously analyzed intersections and 36 roadway segments using the new forecasted traffic volumes provided by OCTA. This task also assumed time for attendance at up to two additional meetings with OCTA staff to discuss the new proposed street reclassifications. Task 9: Prepare Updated Circulation Element This task will involve further updates and edits to the draft circulation element to incorporate new policies and text associated with the preparation of the Santa Ana Safe Mobility Plan (SASMP). Specific edits are anticipated to be additions to the policy framework and incorporation of a summary of the Santa Ana Safe Mobility Plan in the circulation element appendix. These edits to the draft circulation element will be in addition to those Identified in Amendment No. 2. As part of this task, Placeworks will also prepare up to two new maps in the Circulation Element policy framework to reflect the Santa Ana Safe Mobility Plan components. This will include importing linework, changing the base maps, amending colors and shades, and amending symbols in accordance with City direction. This effort assumes that line work completed by the Santa Ana Safe Mobility Plan consultant is in GIS and then transferred to Illustrator for enhancement. Graphics supporting the Appendix are not included in this scope of work. This task also assumes up to 10 hours for IBI Group and 12 hours for Placeworks for additional coordination and meetings with City staff to discuss the SASMP and other city initiatives that may influence the finalization of policies in the Circulation Element. Given prior efforts on the circulation element, this scope of work assumes one final edit to be completed by the project team, with only minor changes thereafter. This assumes that City staff will review the document and provide direction prior to commence of work, with only final minor
