Improvement projects into a single project called the West Las Positas Multimodal Reconstruction Project. As described, the West Las Positas Multimodal Reconstruction Project is ready to begin design. Adoption of the Corridor Plan will provide design direction to the consultant and be incorporated into the project plans and cost estimates that are developed under the forthcoming contract and scope of work. DISCUSSION West Las Positas Bicycle and Pedestrian Corridor Plan Development The City issued a Request for Proposals in May 2018 for a consulting firm to develop conceptual design plans for the West Las Positas Corridor. The RFP contained several deliverables including an existing conditions report, creation of a project website (WLPbike.com), public outreach, and the creation and evaluation of two alternatives and a final Corridor Plan Design. The BPTC was to serve as the Advisory Committee for the process, which was scoped to take approximately nine months to complete. Toole Design Group (TDG) was selected as the design consultant and was awarded the contract by City Council on August 21, 2018. The project kickoff meeting was held at BPTC meeting on August 27, 2018. In April 2019, TDG delivered a draft concept plan showing two alternatives. After internal review, it was decided that the two alternatives did not sufficiently explore the options available along the corridor. The following month, the scope of work for TDG was expanded to increase the number of alternatives from two to seven to give the BPTC a more comprehensive mix of alternatives. The revised scope added approximately six months to the timeline, with conceptual design and cost estimates targeted for September 2019. During the process, staff and the professional services team conducted significant public outreach including multiple meetings of the BPTC, a survey, community events, and stakeholder consultations. The public outreach process is described in more detail below. Among the seven conceptual designs were options for different configurations for a Separated Bikeway, including one-way and two-way bikeway options. The seven conceptual designs were as follows: 1 . Alternative 1A — One-way Separated Bikeways (Lower-cost) 2. Alternative 1B — One-way Separated Bikeways (Higher-cost) 3. Alternative 2A — Two-way Separated Bikeway on south side (Lower-cost) 4. Alternative 2B — Two-way Separated Bikeways on south side (Higher-cost) 5. Alternative 3A - Hybrid Concept with both One-way and Two-way Separated Bikeways (Lower-cost) 6. Alternative 3B - Hybrid Concept with both One-way and Two-way Separated Bikeways (Higher-cost) 7. Alternative 4 — Elevated Two-way Separated Bikeway with Landscaping Page 6 of 14
