The City sent out multiple requests for proposals for this modeling <br />work, but only Dowling Associates responded with a proposal and agreed to <br />only work for public clients when performing traffic modeling work within the <br />City of Pleasanton. <br /> <br />On July 16, 2002 the City contracted with Dowling Associates to prepare <br />traffic impact studies for proposed new development, perform traffic model <br />work for Baseline Traffic Reports, City Specific Plans and General Plan <br />Amendments, and for additional fine-tuning of the City's traffic model and for <br />the preparation of alternative model runs that analyze various roadway network <br />options. <br /> <br />SR:05:142 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
