BACKGROUND The City of Pleasanton requires all development to mitigate traffic impacts generated by their projects. If the development significantly changes the size or type of development from what is shown in the General Plan, then the project developer is required to fund a TIA to determine the change in impact to the circulation network and identify possible mitigations. The City of Pleasanton has used on call transportation consultants for the past 20 years to conduct traffic modeling and complete TIA reports. The TIA is funded by the developer, but the contract and project management is conducted by the City of Pleasanton. This allows the City to work directly with the transportation consultant to ensure that all of the elements of the TIA are addressed prior to the final report. DISCUSSION The cost of a TIA can range between $5,000 and $100,000 depending on the size of the project, with most TIA reports costing approximately $30,000. Over the past 10 years, the total annual expenditure on transportation consultant work has averaged $100,000 per year. Most of this work was in the completion of TIAs and City -related on call transportation consultant service. A slightly larger number of TIAs were necessary over the last few years, as well as additional City of Pleasanton projects, which has resulted in the on-call contracts reaching the $500,000 aggregate maximum in a 4 -year period instead of the anticipated 5 -year period. An increase in the contract aggregate maximum is necessary to continue to use the existing agreements for the final available year of each contract. The increase to $700,000 ($200,000 increase) will allow the City to continue to efficiently evaluate development projects and quickly design small-scale CIP projects through fiscal year 2021/22.
