WORKPLAN Additional Sections: FCS will provide the additional sccticns in the EIR to meet the CEQA Guidelines and City's requirements,including the following: Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts, Effects Found Not to be Significant,and Organizations and Persons Consulted/Bibliography. We will be responsible for the preparation of the following for each project:Table of Contents,Irreversible and Irretrievable Commitment of Resources,List of Organizations and Persons Consulted,Preparers of the Environmental Document,References,and Appendices. The EIR will include the necessary exhibits to enhance the written text and clarify the proposed project environmental impacts.This Task assumes electronic base rr:aps will be provided by the City. Subtask 8.5-Traffic 1 —Study Intersection identification Impact Analysis Our scope of work assumes the EIR will evaluate up to 15 external study intersections (including project site access locations),plus the major internal intersections. Based on trip generation, trip distribution patterns and comments received on the Notice of Preparation for the project,we will develop a final list of recommended study intersections. it is anticipated that the study intersections will primarily be in the immediate vicinity of the Specific Plan area as the Housing Element FIR analysis indicated that key intersections in the area would operate at acceptable service levels with buildout of the General Plan and approved Housing Element land uses. The final list of study intersections may include locations in Liveimore and Dublin. We have assumed that we will use data prepared for the Housing Element EIR work,supplemented by new morning(7:00 to 9:00 AAM`, and evening (4:00 to 6:00 PM) turning movement counts at up to 5 intersections,in addition to the 2 intersections where data was collected as part of the specific plan work. Traffic signal timings will be obtained from City staff and verified by field observations. Freeway operations will be evaluated t'►rough the Congestion Management Agency Assessment,detailed as part of Task 4. Deliverables:Fehr& Peers will document this information in a technical memorandum for the City to review. After their review,the final list of study intersections will be identified. 2—Impact Analysis The intersection peak hour level of service at each study intersection will be calculated using the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual method. As the El Charro Road extension is not necessarily proposed to be constructed as part of the Project,we have included as an optional task evaluating Project conditions both with and without the full connection between the Fallon Road interchange at I-580 and Stanley Boulevard. The impact analysis will be conducted for the following scenarios: Scenario 1:Existing Conditions— Existing volumes obtained from traffic counts and the existing roadway system configuration. Scenario 2: Existing Plus Project—Existing volumes obtained from traffic counts and the existing roadway system configuration plus traffic estimated for the Project. The roadway system is the same as Scenario 1. _.___._.._._._...___ GATES _. __........_..- _.._.____.._...... ♦ASSOCIATES
