EDAW IN~ WORK PROGRAM TRANSIT-ORIENTED SPECIFIC PLAN FOR THE HACIENDA BUSINESS PARK well as, of how land use and urban design measures affect use of alternative modes. Fundamental to the success of transit supportive development is convenient and efficient access to transit, and ensuring an effective overall transportation network. Fehr & Peers and EDAW have collaborated on numerous assignments ranging from fine-grained downtown plans, to complex, multi-modal transit station design projects. Glen Park BART Community Plan, SF Ellen Greenberg, AICP, is a noted leader in the understanding of the complex relationship between transportation and land use. In addition to a having extensive background in research and policy development, she brings expertise in plan implementation, representing both the public and private sector. Ms. Greenberg's role will focus on establishing realistic transportation performance objectives relating to both on- and off-site conditions that may be incorporated into the Specific Plan and the City's General Plan, and formulation by the Specific Plan team of a set of specific plan alterrmtives that illustrate a range of choices that promote transportation performance objectives. PROJECT TEAM & MANAGEMENT WORKING RELATIONSHIPS We understand that there will be a Project Team comprised of staff from both the East bay Community Foundation and Hacienda. Our methodology proposes regular interaction between the Consultant Team and the Project Team, including a mobilization meeting, and regular contact. Our communications with others is described later in this proposal. Typically, we project that the consultant and relevant team members should anticipate attending several meetings and hearings before appointed and elected officials, consisting of up to two hearings each before the Planning Commission (2) and the City Council (2). We envision working in partnership with the Project Team at all stages of the project within a joint client-consultant 'Project Management Team'. We see this joint approach as vitally important in meeting the aspirations of the Core Planning Area Team and other key stakeholders. To ensure clarity of tasks and to provide a focused, accessible point of contact for the Project Management Team, EDAW will be the principal consultant, responsible for overall project management and the coordination and management of subconsultants. WORK SCOPE In general terms, we propose three work stages for this project, which are summarized below and are described in detail, task by task in the remainder of this section. Stage 1: Consultant Team 'Immersion' Research and Analysis - comprising an intensive period of 'team familiarization' and information review where the Consultant Team will establish a common understanding with the Project Team and Core Planning Area Team of the key issues to be addressed through the planning process. This period will include completion of the Background Report and two workshops. Stage 2: Evolution of Ideas - during this stage we will undertake a Collaborative Design process where we will work closely with the Project Team and Core Planning Area Team to develop, explore, test options, and ultimately choose a preferred development altemative for the Plan Area.
