APPROACH gal BKF I00 YEARS ENGINEERS.SURVEYORS.PLANNERS • Cost Estimating An accurate cost estimate is valuable to not only assess which improvements can move forward in the near future or be programmed as part of a larger project but also to appropriately purse funding from grants and outside sources. In today's environment, there are numerous grant opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian improvements but to ensure construction, the adequacy of the funding and thus cost estimates for the work is paramount. Key Success Factors The BKF Team was assembled to address the project's specific needs: Short-term Measures Pedestrian and bicycle Specific knowledge of the interchange's operations and its design measures that can be Detailed understanding of its pedestrian and bicycle issues implemented in the near- term at reasonable cost. • Proven experience designing progressive pedestrian and bicycle solutions Extensive background with Caltrans'approval processes _ The team,comprised of the following members,possesses all of these critical requirements: BKF Engineers and its engineers who work and live in Pleasanton have traveled through the interchange thousands of times via automobile, by bicycle and by walking has a deep history in along the highway corridors and in working with Caltrans and Pleasanton. BKF has extensive experience in designing interchanges, with Caltrans' requirements and standards, and in obtaining approvals for design concepts involving multi-modal facilities balancing Caltrans requirements with NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide and ITE recommendations. Medium-term Measures Fehr& Peers is a key member on the team due to their extensive background in planning and designing pedestrian and Long-range Measures Pedestrian and bicycle bicycle facilities. Fehr& Peers authored ITE's "Recommended Pedestrian and bicycle measures that would measures that would require moderate traffic Design Guidelines to Accommodate Pedestrians and Bicycles at q require substantial operations and/or Interchanges", providing details on the most up-to-date P changes to the geometric revisions to practices and is also working with the City on its update of the interchange. the interchange. Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. Biggs Cardosa Associates is a leader in the design and ,re - modifications to Caltrans structures and bridges. They have worked on the majority of the bridge along I-580 and I-680 in Pleasanton and are very innovative in providing alternatives that require minor modifications but yield huge benefits in promoting pedestrian and bicycle circulation through minor roadway widening through interchanges. WORK SCOPE SUMMARY The following work scope was carefully developed by BKF to efficiently and effectively exceed the task objectives as outlined in the RFP.
