June 13, 2017 Task 4: Record Research and Utility Coordination Kimley-Horn will obtain readily available record drawings and data pertinent to the scope of services such as record drawings, GIS mapping, and utility atlases. We will Initiate the utility company notification process early in the design process and identify potential conflicts. We will maintain a utility agency tracking list to indicate the status of communication and add a contact list for substructure and utility owner -operators for the specifications. We will assist the City with a utility notification letter consisting of the following: 1. Utility Information Request 2. Prepare to Relocate Notice/Final Utility Notice Form 3. Notice to Relocate We assume that utility notices will be on the City's letterhead. All related fees from utility companies are excluded from this proposal. Deliverables: Utility Agency Tracking List Utility Notification Letters Task 5: Traffic Study Kimley-Horn will prepare a traffic impact analysis report per the project specific requirements provided by the City in the Attachment 5 of addendum one, We will analyze the following scenarios: • Existing Conditions with Project Alternative 2; Existing Conditions with Project Alternative 3; Opening Year No Project; Opening Year with Project Alternative 2; Opening Year with Project Alternative 3; Year 2040 No Project ; Year 2040 with Project Alternative 2; Year 2040 with Project Alternative 3 Collect AM and PM turning movement, pedestrian, and bicycle counts at the 29 study intersections listed. Collect 24-hour daily counts at up to 6 roadway segments. Obtain cumulative projects within a 1.5-mile radius of the project boundary to include in the traffic analysis. We assume the City will provide the current project list to use. Opening year traffic will be based upon applying a growth percentage to existing traffic volumes with cumulative projects in the area. Year 2040 traffic volumes will be derived using the Orange County Transportation Analysis Model (OCTAM). We will review relevant traffic and parking studies in the area. We assume these traffic and parking studies will be provided by the City. We will review the City provided traffic collision history data over the last five years and assess up to six side street closures that will impact circulation. Closures to be determined prior to the start of the traffic analysis task. Deliverables: Traffic Counts, Draft Traffic Study, Final Traffic Study Task 6: Environmental Studies We assume that an Initial Study leading to a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/ MND) is the appropriate CEQA documentation for the proposed project. The Initial Study will provide the necessary background for the project. Each of the topics contained in the Environmental Checklist will be evaluated to document the nature and extent of any potential environmental consequences and the need for mitigation. During the preparation of the Initial Study we will determine if the project has significant impacts that cannot be fully mitigated, then we will identify modifications to the project to reduce anticipated impacts. This may require a modified scope and fee, such as preparing an EIR. Design alternatives may be presented to the City to select a preferred alternative. This scope of services assumes that the Initial Study will be prepared for only the preferred alternative. Using the City's Initial Study Checklist, Kimley-Horn will respond to each checklist question. The analysis will use the following technical studies and data prepared by our team: traffic impact study, air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) study, noise study, utilities/ infrastructure, geotechnical study, drainage, Concept Water Quality Management Plan, and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). All other environmental topics would be studied qualitatively. Kimley-Horn will be responsible for the distribution of the IS/MND and for preparation of responses to comments and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).
