+.-. ~~ ~ >-. _, PBS&J SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION WORK THE STAPLES RANCH PROJECT This scope describes the services to be provided by PBS&J for additional work to address additional tasks which were not covered by the Staples Ranch Project's draft traffic report prepared by Dowling Associates (September 2007) or the previous scope of work submitted to the City on August 28, 2007. The following scope of work describes the additional tasks that will be performed by PBS&J. The previous traffic scope of services for the Staples Ranch project (August 2007) called for PBS&J to conduct three primary tasks: review the traffic report prepared by Dowling Associates, incorporate the report into the EIR section, and to provide responses to scoping comments in the NOP and during the scoping period. Task 2 of the previous scope consists of around 20 hours to organize and structure the different subsections (e.g. project description, trip generation, trip distribution, eight evaluation scenarios, project impacts and mitigation measures), and around 16 hours for up to two revisions based on ADEIR comments. Note that this task was scoped given the state of the traffic report and the number of evaluation scenarios needed to be organized in the ADEIR. Task 3 of the previous scope of work included responding to NOP comments which were not addressed in Dowling's traffic report. The amount of work for this task includes around 16 hours to respond to NOP comments such as on-site safety issues, safety hazards on El Charro and potential public transit to access the site. It should be noted though, these responses are explanations based on references to existing materials or why the topics are not addressed in the EIR. This task does not include writing a new subsection in the ADEIR on the various safety and access conditions. Although Tasks 2 and 3 of the previous scope of work includes summarizing Dowling's traffic report and responding to NOP comments, these tasks were scoped prior to review of the revised Dowling traffic report. As such, PBS&J proposes the following tasks to complete the ADEIR traffic section: Task 1 Summary -PBS&J will develop an executive summary discussion that will be included in the traffic report and the ADEIR and that will describe the results of the traffic analysis and a comparison of the various scenarios (e.g. Ice Center, 1989 Specific Plan, with or without Stoneridge Drive). This summary will also provide a description of Project related impacts to intersections under each of the various scenarios. Task 2 Traffic Graphics -PBS&J will develop up to three new figures to illustrate the different scenarios and support the EIR. The maps will present the street connections to clearly show existing and planned roadway facility changes under 1) initial occupation 2) 2015 interim and 3) 2030 Cumulative buildout. The maps will also include a distribution map for project related trips to/from the site during the peak hours, and with or without Stoneridge Drive. Task 3 ADEIR Setting -PBS&J will develop a summary of the setting conditions from the Staples Ranch Traffic Report. PBS&J will also include a description of existing and planned roadway facility changes for the ADEIR, including graphics to be developed under Task 2 above. This will include relevant streets and intersections anticipated to be
