SUNOL BOULEVARD/I-680 IMPROVEMENTS PA&ED The Build Alternative forecasts, if different from the No Build Alternative, will be prepared based on a manual distribution of No Build scenario volumes. Modifications to the horizon years i.e., 2025 and 2045 for the I-680 express lanes work may require additional budget to complete the forecasts. 2.2.2 Traffic Forecasting Documentation. Two technical memorandums will be prepared documenting the traffic forecast process. The first, the Existing Conditions Model Validation Technical Memorandum, will document the existing travel demand model, its calibration to existing traffic levels, and any model changes necessary to reach validation targets set by Caltrans. The second,the Design and Opening Year Forecasts,will document the land use and network assumptions from the forecasting model and the resulting design and opening year forecasts. The draft memoranda will be submitted to the City of Pleasanton and Caltrans for review and comment. Comments from the reviewers may result in the need to modify some of the model inputs or assumptions, and prior to making any changes Fehr&Peers shall check to confirm whether those modifications would make a substantive change in the forecasts or necessitate structural changes to the forecast model. Once comments and necessary changes have been identified Fehr & Peers will re-run the models (if necessary) and finalize the memoranda. Comments and responses will be documented in a comment resolution matrix. Subtask 2.3 Future Traffic Operations Analysis. For both the opening year and design year, VISSIM models will be developed to reflect the expected future conditions, including the forecasted future traffic volumes and the background capital improvements anticipated to occur. The VISSIM models will be used to evaluate the LOS,average delay,queuing,speed,and density characteristics during the AM and PM peak periods under the No Build and Build Alternative. In addition, system- wide measures of effectiveness established for existing conditions will be derived from the models.A qualitative assessment of transit facilities will be performed to determine if the proposed build alternatives would hinder or eliminate existing or proposed transit service, or cause a substantial delay in transit service. Subtask 2.4 Preparation of Traffic Operations Analysis Report. Fehr & Peers shall prepare documentation of the existing conditions analysis, traffic forecasts, and the operations analysis for the No Build and Build Alternative into a consolidated Draft TOAR. Upon one round of agency review, the final TOAR will be prepared and submitted to Caltrans for formal acceptance. A comment resolution matrix will be used to document each round of review and associated responses. Fehr & Peers will participate in one Traffic Focus meeting with the project team and Caltrans as part of this task. Subtask 2.5 Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE)Process Upon approval of the traffic forecasts,reconfirm the traffic analysis provided in the PSR- PDS (Step 1 ICE) and then proceed to Step 2 ICE. Step 2 will consist of evaluation of geometric criteria, in-depth and quantification of performance measures. CONSULTANT will prepare and evaluate alternatives which meet the Caltrans ICE policy and include the finding in a memorandum. April 10,2020 8
