IBI Group City of Santa Ana —April 27, 2017 Task 8.11: Proiect Management and Coordination This task includes continuing project management and coordination throughout the remainder of the element preparation and CEQA process. The cost estimate for this task is based on the estimated schedule included in this amendment. If the schedule is extended beyond PlaceWorks' control, we may requested an augment for this task. Task 9: Prepare Updated Circulation Element The majority of the requested budget amendment for this task involves additional work that will be undertaken by Placeworks to update the Circulation Element to incorporate enhancements to the city's vision and policies, projects, and programs identified in recent local planning efforts related to mobility, safety, and complete streets. The original circulation element contract was approved in 2011 and authorized PlaceWorks to briefly review goals and policies for the Circulation Element for a cost of $1,680. Based on subsequent discussions, Amendment #1 (approved in June 2014) added $5,180 to prepare a vision and to expand the policy framework. IBI also submitted a subsequent Amendment #2 to the City, which added $19,630, to complete remaining edits to the policy framework, prepare four maps, and make 3 powerpoint presentations. This amendment was approved by City Council, but the contract amendment was not executed by the City, so this scope of work includes a request to re- authorize this $19,630 on top of the scope items noted below. In 2014, the Circulation Element was put on hold while significant local studies were being prepared or finalized. Now that the City has restarted the project in 2017, several tasks in the $19,630 amendment remain relevant — namely final revisions to the Circulation Element, mapping, and public presentations. However, we also found that additional work was needed to complete the project based upon the completion of many local and regional studies, changes in state law, and conversations about project direction. To that end, we have proposed the following tasks to complete the project. 9a. Due Diligence As mentioned earlier, almost a dozen local and regional studies were completed while the Circulation Element was on hold. Additional studies are also underway, including the Harbor Corridor Transit Study and OCTA Transit Master Plan. This task therefore involves the review and synthesis of the significant local and regional studies completed since the last draft of the Circulation Element (2014). Based on our in initial survey of studies, this review includes the following: Active Transportation Plans D Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan (2014) » Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan (2016) » Golden Loop and OCTA 70/30 Plan (2017) » OCTA Commuter Bicycle Plan » Districts 1 and 2 Bikeway Strategy (2013) » OC Complete Streets Initiative Transit and Complete Streets » Downtown Transit Complete Streets Plans (2016) » Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plans (2016) 25G -24
