Availability is the key to an excellent on-call consultant. GHD understands the breadth of services required and the capability necessary to respond fully to your Request for Qualifications. We have provided public agency As-Needed or On-Call services throughout California since 1952, and have continued this successful tradition with over 85 current public agencies across the State, while providing individual support to every project and client. With our decades of service to local public agencies, we understand the need to incorporate staff input and the public’s needs when implementing a project. We also understand there will always be regulatory drivers, financial constraints, and stakeholder issues that come into play. GHD is proud to have a long history of providing on-call services to local agencies on the Central Coast, as well as statewide. −County of Monterey −Transportation Agency for Monterey County −City of Gonzales −City of King City −City of Monterey −City of Soledad −City of Paso Robles −City of Arroyo Grande −City of San Luis Obispo −San Luis Obispo County −San Luis Obispo Council of Governments −City of Santa Maria We can successfully manage your project with minimal support from City staff and fulfill all Caltrans, County, City, and FHWA requirements for funding and documentation. GHD has assembled a team with the understanding and knowledge of and how to design Caltrans standard plans, standard specifications, and the necessary exhibits. We have firsthand knowledge of the: −Caltrans’ Project Development and Procedures Manual −Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) and Funding Criteria −Caltrans Highway Design Manual −AASHTO Policy Manual −California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA- MUTCD) −California Disabled accessibility Guidebook −Title 24 Reports We have worked directly with local jurisdictions and understand their internal processes, affording us the unique perspective of the public process while building long-lasting relationships with Caltrans' environmental, local assistance, right-of-way, and construction oversight staff. This includes a deep understanding of Caltrans' design requirements, design review process, construction methodologies, and funding programs, which will streamline reviews and approvals, and help support schedule adherence. GHD also has extensive experience completing Project Study Reports (PSRs), special studies, and NEPA/CEQA documentation; obtaining environmental permits; preparing construction documentation; obtaining permanent or temporary right-of-way (R/W); coordinating utility relocations; and providing bidding assistance, construction oversight, close-out, and audit support. Failure to follow the many federal requirements can result in a finding of non-compliance by Caltrans and the potential loss of state funding. Therefore, it is critical that Caltrans processes be followed, and milestone approvals obtained. GHD will work very closely with Caltrans and City staff through the environmental, design, permitting, and construction phases of the project. GHD’s familiarity with Caltrans District 5 staff, the LAPM, and the LAPG will ensure that all required project documentation (e.g., PS&E checklist, R/W certification) is provided to Caltrans and that all approvals (e.g., funding allocations and/or E-76) are received prior to proceeding with subsequent phases of reimbursable work.

The County was looking for a consultant who could bring a blend of extensive On-Call experience on transportation projects and knowledge of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) programs, Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual and Program Guidelines, CEQA, and NEPA. GHD’s scope of services includes environmental, surveying, right of way, permits, utilities, design/engineering, as well as providing bidding assistance and design support during construction. This contract has led to the following projects being awarded. Traffic Engineering Studies: GHD has performed traffic engineering studies at the following locations: −Salinas Road at Fruitland Avenue and Salinas Road at Werner Road −Atherton Drive Corridor from Rio Road to Cabrillo Highway −State Highway 1 and 3rd Avenue −Spreckels Boulevard between Nacional Avenue and Railroad Avenue −San Miguel Canyon Road Traffic Engineering Study −Monterey County Parking Demand Study Relevance to the City's On-Call Assignment: –On-Call work with Monterey County –Traffic Engineering –Roadway Safety Improvements –Intersection Improvements (Roundabout) –Complete Streets –Challenging public outreach - successfully addressed PS&E for Transportation Design Improvements: GHD has helped the County identify and implement quick safety and capacity improvements at the following locations: −Boronda Road at Carmel Valley Road Elkhorn Road at Wener Road, and along San Miguel Canyon Road. We are currently working on several more traffic engineering studies to identify short term and long term safety improvements. 2019 Speed Zone Survey Update: GHD also prepared the speed zone survey update engineering study for a list of roads that were last surveyed in 2013. This update is for 107 roadway segments within the County jurisdiction. The study consists of collecting and analyzing relevant speed and safety-related data in order to set appropriate vehicle speed limits. Input from County representatives regarding recommendations will be considered before establishing the final speed limits. Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR): GHD prepared an SSAR that consisted of detailed historical collision analysis and field visit observations, which led to the identification of key safety issues for 11 roadway segments and four unsignalized intersections. These safety issues were then matched to a set of countermeasures, which were intended to increase safety in the areas of concern. The countermeasures were grouped into safety projects with high benefit-to-cost ratios and intended to be organized as candidates for funding from the HSIP. Key Team Members: Jay Walter, Chenin Otto, Kamesh Vedula, Travis Low, Jorge Vanegas-Moran, Frank Penry GHD City of San Luis Obispo On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE 13 On-Call Engineer/Architect and Project Delivery Services | Napa Valley Transportation Authority In January 2018, the Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) awarded GHD a three- year on-call contract for Engineer/Architect and Project Delivery Services, comprising such disciplines as highways, roads, and intersection infrastructure; bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure; transit infrastructure; corridor operational efficiencies; and construction management. Projects assigned from this contract include the following. SR 29 Comprehensive Management Corridor Plan: GHD was awarded the SR 29 Comprehensive Management Corridor Plan (CMCP) project. The project limits of the SR 29 CMCP study are 0.35 miles south of Mini Drive and 9.5 miles north of Imola Avenue. This plan served to provide requisite technical traffic support information for an SB 1 Solutions for Congested Corridors Cycle 2 grant application and a Project Initiation Document (PID). SR 29 Project Initiation Document: GHD is currently engaged to complete the PID for the SR 29 project, building on the successful completion of the CMCP. The project is evaluating three alternatives. One alternative is a direct application of the CMCP, providing bus transit improvements at signalized intersections, a Class I trail, and intelligent transportation systems. Other alternatives include consideration of a multi- lane roundabout corridor and consideration of roadway widening to add travel lanes in each direction. Imola Avenue Complete Streets Corridor Plan: GHD completed the Imola Avenue CSCP to articulate the current challenges on the corridor and recommend achievable solutions to implement the community vision for a safe and vibrant multimodal corridor. The Imola Avenue CSCP provides NVTA, the City and County of Napa, and Caltrans with a strategic road map with prioritized and phased improvement implementation. Soscol Junction PS&E: Though Caltrans developed an extensive grade separation that resolved traffic congestion at the Soscol Junction intersection, it did not meet the approval of the local community regarding aesthetics and continuity of pedestrian and bicycle travel. As a result, GHD evaluated potentially using roundabouts, in conjunction with the grade separation, to address local concerns and improve the interchange. Caltrans accepted. After completing the evaluation, our team prepared the traffic operations analysis report, design standard decision document.. Relevance to the City's On-Call Assignment: –On-Call work with a Public Agency –Traffic Engineering –Roadway Safety Improvements –Intersection Improvements (Roundabout) and Signal –Complete Streets –Challenging public outreach - successfully addressed –Transit innovation –VMT analysis City of Arroyo Grande On-Call Transportation Services GHD has been providing transportation planning and engineering services to the City of Arroyo Grande since 1989. Over the decades working with the City of Arroyo Grande, GHD created their first Citywide Traffic Model in 1989 and has continued to update and maintain their model to the present. In addition, as part of our On-Call services contract, GHD has prepared traffic impact studies and other special studies, including speed surveys, signal warrant analysis, school safety studies, and corridor studies. GHD completed the Halcyon Road Complete Streets Plan, various signal timing improvement projects, and upgrade of the City’s GIS. One project to highlight is the Halcyon Complete Streets Plan and associated interim improvements. GHD helped the City complete the Halcyon Complete Streets Plan in 2023. During the development of the plan, GHD helped the City identify a few projects along the corridor and apply for funding under the Highway Safety Improvement Program and the Safe Routes to School Program and implement the 2022 Pedestrian Improvement Projects. Construction was smooth and the City Inspector complimented the level of detail on the project plans. GHD also helped identify signal equipment and timing improvements along the corridor that were implemented prior to the full corridor improvements. GHD also supported the City to apply for a grant through SLOCOG, and those funds were used as leverage to obtain an Active Transportation Program Cycle 6 grant for completion of the planned corridor improvement projects. GHD provided grant-writing support .

The City of Monterey (City) sought to replace the original T-intersection with a new roundabout, optimizing traffic flow and shrinking the environmental footprint while investing in greater accessibility, sustainability, and safety for the ever-growing destination community. The original designer explored a roundabout solution and various signal configurations. Though the Project Report (PR) was approved with the preferred alternative of a new traffic signal system and widening of the highway from two to four lanes, the cost for this alternative was deemed too high and the impacts too great, while the needs of the community would still not be fully met. The project then sat on the shelf for years until the City reopened it, hoping to find a more cost-effective option. GHD revisited the safety, operations, and geometrics from the previously approved PR and PA/ED phase, then optimized the design, which ultimately resulted in saving the City $12 million in construction costs for Phase 1 alone. The City and GHD collaborated with a community partnership—encompassing the City, Caltrans, and the Pebble Beach Company—to develop design options for the roundabout, then progress the preferred design into construction. The City’s selected solution involved two closely spaced roundabouts—otherwise known as a “midi” roundabout—to address the area’s many unique characteristics. By eliminating traffic signals, we greatly cut down on idling times for motorists, not only reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also streamlining the flow of traffic. Obviously marked approaches in and out of the roundabout allow easier navigation through a heavily trafficked tourist spot in addition to providing a better means of entry and egress for emergency vehicles. Overall, our design promoted clarity, usability, and environmental responsibility in a locale beloved for its natural beauty Relevance to the City's On-Call Assignment: –Work on the Central Coast –Traffic Engineering –Roadway Safety Improvements –Intersection Improvements (Roundabout) –Complete Streets –Public outreach FORTAG – Canyon Del Rey Segment 1 | Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) GHD has completed the design for the first 1.5-mile segment of a 28-mile, Class 1 trail to provide regional connectivity through active transportation, introduce the community to open space and activate the area to other forms of recreational activities while preserving and enhancing the environment. GHD and TAMC are seeking to establish a precedence for elegant, context-sensitive trail design with this first segment. There are many challenges to conquer as the trail meanders through the Cities of Monterey, Seaside, Del Rey Oaks, Regional Park Land, Caltrans ROW and a PG&E easement. This segment of trail will include a crossing a busy intersection, new trail through existing parks, a highway undercrossing, and construction of a new trail within a wetland preserve. GHD is serving as the lead consultant and, together with our team members, we have built upon the certified Final EIR and provide comprehensive services to deliver construction documents, engineering analysis and reporting, right-of-way services, and environmental documentation and permitting. We have worked with the client to create a robust public outreach and input program, managed coordination with key stake holders, provided guidance for the project program to meet the project grant requirements, and we have refined the design to meet the project and community goals. By refining the preliminary alignment using public and stakeholder input, field data, traffic data, and past project experience, we have designed a trail that balances safety, trail user experience, construction costs, and environmental impacts. The refined design includes protected intersection elements, seating nodes, design of a pollinator garden, relocation of tennis courts, a bridge undercrossing under State Route (SR) 218, an improved at-grade highway crossing with a solar RRFB, transit improvements, innovative wall designs and innovative solutions to existing ADA barriers, and more. GHD’s digital team created 3D visualizations which brought the engineering drawings to life to make it easier for the community to visualize how the trail will fit into the built environment, without destroying the beautiful nature preserve or scenic views. Throughout the outreach process we have and will continue to leverage our internal expertise in the “human side of tech” by utilizing engineering and social psychology to make communications more meaningful and effective for various audiences. The outreach effort resulted in videos and simulations produced, in addition to many stakeholders, working groups, and community outreach events, mailers, e-blasts, etc. resulted in the successful defeat of local ballot “Measure B” which aimed to stop the project. The project will begin construction later this spring.

This project will provide a continuous two-way, left-turn lane that will enhance safety along the corridor. San Luis Ranch Specific Plan Multimodal Transportation Impact Analysis Report (TIAR): The proposed mixed-use plan is located on 131 acres in unincorporated San Luis Obispo County within the City sphere of influence. The City hired GHD to prepare a multimodal TIAR, consistent with the City’s guidelines. The study assesses vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit LOS, and identifies mitigation measures for each travel mode. Separately, GHD was also contracted by the City to develop a PSR for the interchange associated with build-out of the City General Plan in the proposed project’s vicinity. These efforts were required to be fully consistent, requiring significant Caltrans involvement.

The con tract provided us the opportunity to assist with the following projects: −US 101/SR 46 W Interchange Coordination/Meetings −Halcyon Road at State Route 1 ICE Study Relevance to the City's On-Call Assignment: –Work in San Luis Obispo County –Traffic Engineering –Transportation Design –Caltrans coordination −South Oakglen Constraints Analysis −2014 Avila Circulation Study and TIF Update −2015 South County Circulation Study and TIF Update −2015 South County Nipomo TIF Update −Vineyard Drive Corridor Study In 2017, the County selected GHD as an On-Call consultant for construction engineering and management and materials testing, which led us to providing services for the South Bay Boulevard/Nipomo Avenue Intersection Signal Design and Construction Documents. In 2018, the County re-released the 2012 On-Call contract and added Transportation Planning and Traffic Operations Services. After being selected, we started work on the Tefft Street/US 101 Interchange Operational Improvement and San Miguel Circulation Study & Impact Fee Update. Later in the year, the County awarded us the On-Call for Transportation Planning and Traffic Operations Services for Caltrans-Related Transportation Planning Documents, which led to us starting work on the San Luis Bay Drive ICE. Two projects that we feel are relevant include: Avila Circulation Study and TIF Update: GHD prepared the Study, including a CIP and Impact Fee Study. GHD created a new TDM for the Avila community, validated and consistent with the SLOCOG regional TDM. Due to seasonal variability in travel demand, the model was calibrated using a permanent count station to 30th Highest Hour, or “K30” conditions. GHD utilized the model to forecast General Plan buildout conditions, establish nexus and regional share, develop a CIP, and propose a fee schedule. Since concluding this study, GHD continues to work for the County in the Avila area, including preparing the San Luis Bay Drive/US 101 ICE study. South County Circulation Study and TIF Update: GHD prepared the original South County Circulation Study, CIP, and Impact Fee Study over 15 years ago. GHD has been selected to update these studies several times subsequently, most recently in 2016. The effort includes updating the South County/Nipomo area TDM to reflect current conditions and anticipated buildout conditions. GHD continues to work for the County in the South County/Nipomo area, including design for modifications of the US 101/Tefft Street interchange.

The City of San Luis Obispo completed the construction of a new cycle track on California and a bridge over the railroad near Mill Street. Under our on-call contract, GHD helped the City design a connection to Mill Street at Pepper and improve signage and striping at the intersection to alert roadway users of the trail crossing and entrance. This project provides a critical connection for commuters between downtown and Cal Poly. Relevance to the City's On-Call Assignment: –Work in SLO City –Traffic Engineering –Transportation Design –Active Transportation Design US 101/SR 46 West ICE and US 101/Main Street Proportional Cost Share of Improvements The US 101/SR 46W interchange sits on the border between the City of Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo County on the California coast. Over 20 years ago, as the area around the interchange grew, its original “tight diamond” design left little intersection spacing on 46W, and a proposed extension of Charolais Rd from Paso Robles, as well as the continued expansion of the County’s Templeton area—increasing travel to Highway 1 and the coast— compounded problems with traffic capacity, operations, and safety. At the time, both the City of Paso Robles and the County of San Luis Obispo developed general plan build- outs to accommodate this growth, which would only further aggravate the interchange’s problems if left unaddressed. Additionally, the US 101/Main Street intersection just south of the 46W interchange, belonging to the County, accepts high volumes of traffic from the City. To unite the interests of several coastal communities around major interchange improvements—addressing traffic capacity, operations, and safety to accommodate growth—GHD provided a roundabout design that cut costs in half, then developed a cost sharing program to equitably distribute the burden of the improvements among entities who otherwise rarely work together.

Throughout the project GHD has assisted the City in alternatives comparison, value engineering, utilities relocation coordination and certification, right-of-way procurement and certification, and final construction document delivery. GHD has helped the City navigate the Local Assistance process, and the project is currently in construction. The Esplanade: The project includes a new multi-use trail in the easterly median between The Esplanade and the easterly frontage road. This new trail will connect to an existing path north of 11th Avenue East all the way south to and existing path south of Memorial Way. To accommodate the new the trail and increase safety and accessibility, intersection improvements are proposed such as new pedestrian push buttons, new crosswalks, new pedestrian refuges, accessible ramp upgrades, and new signage and striping. The project will remove a pedestrian crossing at West Sacramento which is an uncontrolled intersection with high vehicle use and instead direct bike and pedestrian traffic to a new pedestrian activated signal between Washington and Lincoln at Chico Highschool. Memorial Way & Oleander Intersection: The project includes a new roundabout for the intersection of Memorial Way and Oleander Avenue and connection of a sidewalk- grade multi-use trail to The Esplanade. The roundabout project will include drainage improvements, water quality improvements and several utility relocations. The project includes acquisition of right of way from Butte County on the northwest corner. Oleander Avenue and 10th Avenue: The project includes sidewalk gap closure and restriping for a shared Class III bicycle facility from 10th avenue east at Esplanade east to Oleander and south on Oleander to Memorial Way. The project will include curb and gutter improvements and roadway widening to include a paved parking lane. The majority of the sidewalk is separated from the roadway by a parkway strip, and bulb-outs are proposed at several intersections to reduce crossing lengths. The propose also include a new signalized intersection at 1st Avenue, and reversal of stop control from Oleander to the side streets at two intersections to increase flow for the Class III facility.

Response to Claims Matters Due to the commercial sensitivity and confidentiality of any litigation in which GHD may have been involved, GHD is not at liberty to disclose the information sought. However, we point out that as a component of its prudent risk management practices, GHD obtains high quality professional liability insurance in the world market, and domestically in the U.S., to provide cover in the industries in which it operates. As a consequence of engaging in business, there are sometimes claims asserted that may or may not give rise to litigation. The details and progress of any such claims are by necessity commercially sensitive and remain in confidence. We are able to inform you that there have been claims notified in the normal course of business, none of which we believe are material to the services which are the subject of your RFP.

Relevant Project Experience City of Irvine Annual Count Program / On-Call Services (Irvine, CA) - Project Manager. Counts Unlimited has performed a Bi-annual count program that includes (215) Turning Movement Counts, and an annual count program that includes over (320) 48-hour ADT Counts in the City of Irvine as part of our annual traffic data collection contract. In addition to the annual count programs, Counts Unlimited also provides on-call traffic count services to the City of Irvine that includes ADT Counts, Speed Counts, Turning Movement Counts, and Origin-Destination Counts. Los Angeles County Intersection Traffic Counts (Los Angeles County, CA) - Project Manager. Counts Unlimited performed 12 hour turning movement counts at 59 intersections during two phases throughout all of the County of Los Angeles. All Counts included truck classification percentages, and pedestrian counts. Pedestrians were separated as children, or adults. This was a Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Traffic and Lighting Division project in which Counts Unlimited, Inc. worked as a subcontractor. University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) - Project Manager. Counts Unlimited performed 10-hour parking occupancy surveys for all campus parking spaces, totaling over 26,000 parking spaces. Counts were performed for a 2-day period, from 8 AM to 6 PM. The campus was divided into different parking areas, with each lot and parking structure identified and counted separately. Extensive preliminary fieldwork was conducted to identify all parking stalls to be observed and to identify which types of stalls they would be classified as. Over 20 staff members were present in the field on each data collection day, collecting parking data with multiple supervisors present to assist as needed. Port of Los Angeles Comprehensive Traffic Study (San Pedro, CA) - Project Manager. Managed a unique traffic data collection program that included turning movement traffic counts at intersections within the Port of Los Angeles, and driveway counts at the Intermodal Container Transfer Facility.

Work Program Section 3. Work Program a. GHD's Approach to Keeping Capital Improvement Projects on Schedule Contract Management Approach GHD has experience providing professional transportation engineering services on an on-call basis for municipalities throughout California. This has allowed us to develop a set of best practices that result in the successful delivery of quality deliverables in a responsive manner. Our approach to the City’s On-Call contract will focus on the following key elements: Availability and Responsiveness to the City We have identified a strong core management team for this contract who will provide the City with a prime point of contact and additional management level points of contact for added responsiveness and accountability to meet any project or deliverable need. Ability to Provide a Broad and Complete Range of Services We have a team of professionals that are experienced in delivering the tasks within the indicated requested services, as well as additional technical and field resources. GHD staff are based in San Luis Obispo and other California offices and understand the issues that face many municipalities. Our broad spectrum of in- house resources/procedures allows our team to undertake and tackle a variety of projects, with the ability to pull in additional resources from other regions (as needed). Responsiveness to the City's Staff and Project Requirements Understanding that the City needs to execute all projects in the most timely and cost-effective manner possible, we’ve developed the most efficient and streamlined approach to negotiating scope and fee, mobilizing our Project Team, and executing each task order. This approach includes a knowledgeable, proactive, single point of contact to streamline project definition and execution management, focused on bringing the best value to each and every project. We have highly qualified team members, several of whom are familiar to the City, immediately available to rapidly respond to your project requests. Quality Performance and Work GHD has a structured approach to quality execution, which has been developed over our 90-year history, including our 70 years of working in California. GHD is guided by a Quality Management System (QMS) that is certified as ISO 9001 compliant. Based on a set of standards to help organizations develop and implement quality management systems, these principals are designed to help GHD meet the needs of clients and project stakeholders while meeting statutory and regulatory requirements related to our services. In addition to external audits, GHD completes internal project and system audits using trained auditors. Compliance with existing systems is evaluated along with the effectiveness of the systems and opportunities for continual improvement. Our business goal is simple: it's about how we collaborate to achieve the best client outcomes. Our QMS is one of our key mechanisms for helping ensure this result. The Project Management Plan (PMP) developed at the beginning of any project will include quality control (QC) procedures for implementation in all project development procedures. All deliverables will be subject to QC checks, as well as other project milestones identified through the collaborative effort between the City and GHD. Each QC check is performed at one of two levels within the GHD team. The first is through an independent technical review, consisting of an independent QC check coordinated by the Project Manager. This is conducted at important stages of each project to review the technical direction and to give input to criteria development and the evaluation of alternatives. The second is performed by the Project Planner or Discipline Leader. A constructability review could be performed as part of a design project and would be considered part of the quality process. We believe clear, single-point communication with the client, a rigorous tracking system, and management proximity (our San Luis Obispo Office is only a 2- minute walk to the City offices) will ensure the City a prompt, efficient, cost-effective, and above all, responsive team under any task order issued through this On-Call contract. Keys to Successful Project Management −Managing the Budget to Meet Project Objectives: GHD develop and tracks our project budgets, resource loading, and expenditures through an internal system that has the capability to communicate in real time, allowing the Project Manager to continuously assess budget, monitor performance, and adjust allocation of resources based on project needs. Our Project Manager is able to determine whether project costs are escalating beyond the work product achieved and implement mitigation measures early, and also to respond promptly to unforeseen challenges that may arise. −Implications of Future Operations and Maintenance Costs: Our team understands that the lowest capital cost alternative for a project may not be the lowest lifecycle cost for the City. We’ll use our experience to estimate reasonable operations and maintenance costs that will provide a more realistic picture of decisions that will be made during the project. GHD has construction managers that are available to perform constructability reviews, a successful mitigation effort we have used for several clients. −Developing Realistic Task Order Schedules: A regimented approach improves quality. Using our experience in serving under other On-Call contracts, we propose our approach to task order development as appears on page 69. GHD believes a structured approach makes scheduling and expectations for the development of each task order more predictable and also provides a mechanism for reflection and improvement. GHD City of San Luis Obispo On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE 73 Experiences gained from Delivering On-Call Services One of the key lessons learned from GHD’s On-Call experience is that the GHD Project Manager must keep in regular contact with the City Project Manager. A regular meeting to discuss current tasks, upcoming deadlines, and other items relevant to the contract is a must. Without such communication, the City may be left wondering what the status of the work is. We're committed to open and frequent check-ins with City Management/Staff. Another lesson learned is that GHD staff needs to double check submittals for accuracy, so the City can avoid having to direct re-work, which results in delays. We have added a Quality Assurance/ Quality Control role on our projects, putting our commitment to the quality of our work. We recognize that confirming what was said and committed to is important. In the initial discussions for a task order, we've learned that we need to confirm the scope of work in writing before proceeding, confirm City expectations for the delivery schedule, and confirm agency review times. In a project meeting, there can be a wide variety of discussion, sometimes straying from the agenda. Maintaining an action item list that's updated after every meeting and distributed to all parties can help to keep everyone aligned on the project delivery. Another lesson learned is to ask the City Project Manager if there are multiple locations that need to be studied for the same problem, because it may be more efficient to expand the task order to multiple locations, keeping the administrative costs lower, and lessening the paperwork burden of keeping track of multiple small task orders. GHD's Approach to Delivering On-Call Services Every project has a unique history, set of expectations, constraints, and political context. Our project leads will spend time with City staff and any stakeholders to develop an understanding of the project-specific issues and goals. Project Management The first step to delivering tasks under our on-call contract will be to identify the Task Lead. The Task Lead will be in direct contact with the City Staff throughout the project and will be involved in every step of the project’s delivery. We have identified key staff available to lead the various types of projects which may arise from this contract. The Contract Manager, Chenin Otto, will be in contact with the City staff to ensure the best fit for a Task Lead. The Task Lead will then function as the Project Manager for a specific task. GHD’s approach to project management is centered on a thoughtful and organized work plan and a system of proven tools which are systematically applied by a structured and cohesive team. GHD’s robust management processes provide a framework suitable for projects of any size. We will use the tools to effectively deliver projects with clear and understandable reporting to the City. Our experience with similar On-call Assignments from other municipal and regional clients has demonstrated that key project organization elements are essential to project delivery and are established at the start of the project and defined in the Project Management Plan. The Project Management Plan (PMP) is GHD’s internal document that defines project execution. Typical content of the PMP includes: −Project goals, objectives and success criteria (what is most important to the City) −Roles and Responsibilities −Communication and reporting requirements −City of San Luis Obispo Standards −Background Documentation (Data Log) −Project Procedures and Project Logs (Action and Decision Logs) −Key schedule milestones −Work Breakdown Structure and Work Package Procedures −Scope and Change Management Approaches −Monthly Progress Reports −Project Templates and Forms −Quality Management −Risk Management −Permits and Project approvals −Health and Safety Plan An effective and experienced project manager is a key element of project success. Chinen Otto, PE, will lead with the background, energy, and skills to accomplish the City’s objectives. Scope and Define Required Services Determining the scope of work before project initiation is critical. Proper identification of all aspects needs to be considered prior to the initial work. By carefully and properly defining the required services early, we’re able to efficiently complete the most accurate project to meet the City’s needs. 74 On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE City of San Luis Obispo GHD Change Management Scope management involves scope planning, creating a project scope statement, and developing a detailed WBS. This also provides the framework for effective scope management, so that the City receives the intended final product. We’ll use a change management process to control scope, identifying the need for a change; reviewing with project managers; reviewing impacts on budget and schedule; and preparing a Request for Change Order (RFCO), if necessary, enabling a thorough evaluation of all potential project scope changes. Schedule / Time Management For some companies, uncertainty has the potential to create difficulties in delivering projects within the timeframe. Scheduling our diversified staff on a weekly basis, our internal project development, and filing processes allow us the flexibility to shift personnel time as needed to accommodate new projects and schedules. With these practices, we’re able to meet project deadlines. Upon written or verbal request, and depending on the type of project, in-person meetings can generally be scheduled within the following week, while virtual meetings can be scheduled on shorter notice. For larger projects, formal schedules will be created using Microsoft Project to identify critical path tasks and resource requirements. From the kickoff date, milestones are set for each project task for peer review of project deliverables. As the project advances, the schedule is watched closely so that the items are completed within the time required. GHD will create, maintain, and refine the project schedule developed in coordination with the City’s Project Manager to produce the baseline schedule. The schedule will be used to establish and monitor the project milestones and critical path items for deliverables, agency submission, and meetings. GHD's Project Manager will provide regular updates of the project schedule and submit to the City prior to each progress and or milestone meeting. GHD’s Project Manager will further call on any resources necessary to address schedule issues. Communication Chenin Otto, PE, Contract Manager, will work with the City to develop a communication plan as part of the overall PMP to establish a regular communication schedule to discuss the current status of the project and ensure alignment with the City’s goals, expectations, and overall vision. This will maximize the City’s visibility into every step of the project. Task Lead’s will implement the communication plan. Project Correspondence During the life of a project, communication is the key to success. Management requires a tremendous amount of information to be gathered, monitored, compiled, and reported. Each document passes through the Project Manager. All correspondence identifies the project name and is kept electronically. Identifying Costs We have extensive experience working with participating and non-participating costs for various grants and funding resources and, if necessary, will implement tracking systems to ensure accurate accounting. Our in-house accounting systems for GHD's billings are robust and in full compliance with state and federal requirements for direct and indirect cost accounting. Our procedures and submittals have been reviewed by the Caltrans Audits & Investigations unit on several occasions. Budget Management / Adhering to Our Fee We take great pride in doing everything we can to complete projects on time and within budget. If you’re not paying adequate attention, it’s easy to overspend the project allocation. We start each project with a clear understanding of expenditure San Luis Obispo City Buchon and Torro Traffic Circle 2024 GHD City of San Luis Obispo On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE 75 expectations. GHD uses an Internet-based project cost accounting system (BST Enterprise System). This flexible, state- of-the-art electronic accounting system allows for real-time assessment of project costs. The BST system provides GHD Project Managers with the best available tool to closely monitor and measure critical path activities using the baseline schedule and budget, allowing project managers to track actual time and cost expenditures against task/activity budgets. Risk Management GHD will work with the City to identify and review risks at the beginning of each project and will continue to monitor and identify new risks as the projects progress to completion. Risk aspects to be considered include the following: risks to meeting safety, reliability, environmental, and regulatory requirements; cost control risks and risks to operations during construction; technical and political risks; and risks to meeting project delivery objectives. Dispute Resolution Early identification of problems, risks, and concerns is essential to ensuring that the project proceeds smoothly. It’s imperative to foster strong relationships among all stakeholders to ensure that solutions address key project goals. This generally means that we do more listening at the beginning of a project than promoting potential solutions. Conflicts are best resolved by avoiding them in the first place; effective communication strategies at the outset of a project help develop a sense of teamwork among stakeholders. However, if disputes do arise, GHD believes the best approach is to try and resolve it at the lowest possible level. If disputes occur during the project, the resolution process will first occur at the Project Management (PM) team level, which will include the PMs for GHD and the City. An in-person (or virtual if required) meeting with this team to discuss and hopefully resolve the dispute will be conducted. If the dispute cannot be resolved at the PM team level, a second meeting will be conducted in attempt to reach resolution with the PM team as well as the Project Director and the Quality Assurance Manager for GHD and Upper Management City staff. Quality Management GHD has established and maintains a fully documented in-house Practice Quality Management System. This system is third party approved and certified by Lloyd’s Register to the requirements of ISO 9001:2008 quality systems for design development, project installation, and servicing, to the extent that they apply to the professional services provided by the practice. GHD’s Quality Procedures are also compliant with Federal guidelines and GHD has successfully undergone federal audits with respect to Quality documentation. Our Team understands that quality management is essential to the success of any project. No matter the delivery method, all of our task leaders and project managers will work with their project delivery teams and your staff to achieve the highest quality deliverables. Jay Walter, our Quality Lead, will coordinate with our Task Leads/Project Managers to coordinate appropriate development of the QMP, denote additional QA/QC personnel depending on the task order request, and develop project specific review schedule. The fundamental driver of quality approach is to provide set design or planning documents which are consistent with good engineering professional practices and meet the City’s requirements. GHD will cultivate the smooth flow of design information and document control specific to each project’s/task order’s needs and requirements (i.e. design/build, design/engineering, studies with design elements, etc.). Resource Planning Upon receipt of a project Call-Up request, GHD will respond to the City within 2 working days or less to discuss the scope of work and the resource requirements for the assignment. Our Project Manager and Project Director will work directly with the City Project Manager to carry out the assignment. Our Project Manager will coordinate the input of the discipline leads to identify the right personnel for the project, based on technical capabilities, current workload, and location. For assignments where multiple personnel from the same discipline will be required, highly experienced individuals will be paired with less experienced staff that discipline. This approach provides cost- effective solutions, generating increased value to the City. A key aspect of GHD's approach is to ensure continuity of the Project Team through the design and construction phases of the project, ensuring that design intent is followed during the construction phase and limiting risks associated with changes in team members through project execution stages. We're committed to providing the team assigned at the beginning of an assignment and will not change the staff listed without prior written approval from the City. With 11,000 technical and administrative staff and a seamless company organization, GHD is able and committed to providing backup resources as necessary to ensure that assignments are completed successfully and on schedule. This synergy of project understanding, cohesiveness of project team through design and construction, and approach between GHD and the City will ensure a successful outcome for this project. Approach to Stakeholder Communication and Public Outreach Managing stakeholder expectations for an important community project will be a continual challenge for the Project Team. GHD is particularly skilled at handling expectations because of our insight into the entire project development process. We wholly endorse a comprehensive public outreach effort if needed, yet we also recognize the sensitivity of handling any engagement correctly; otherwise, it will be difficult to gain public acceptance of any improvements. Stakeholder buy-in on potential project solutions can only be achieved once there is buy-in on the challenges being experienced. GHD is keenly aware that there can be a difference of opinion between different users of any project corridor. What may be seen by one user as an acute safety issue might be perceived by another user as an acceptable inconvenience. Some users may be very inpatient when faced with problems in the corridor, while others seek an alternative route on other roads even if it means substantial out-of-direction travel. GHD team members have the ability to communicate with these different stakeholders. We'll listen closely to stakeholder input, communicate that input to the City for validation, and share it as appropriate across the stakeholder spectrum. Any public outreach effort would engage the key stakeholders from day one. 76 On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE City of San Luis Obispo GHD Very early in the project, a community advisory group can be assembled. We recognize that stakeholder engagement on the local level may have already begun in grassroots fashion. There may already have been advocacy for safety improvements to be implemented in a project corridor. GHD will perpetuate a sound partnership with any advocacy group and take full advantage of the outreach they may have already performed. Public informational meetings (virtual or in-person) can be a very effective forum for systematically achieving consensus. At each information meeting, we'll welcome public comments, explaining that they will guide the development of the project. GHD's Process for Developing Task Orders GHD City of San Luis Obispo On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE 77 Approach to Scope of Work Areas Traffic Engineering and Design GHD specializes in all aspects of traffic engineering, from preliminary design to final design and construction support. Our staff are well-versed in local standards and policies (City of San Luis Obispo), Caltrans Highway Design Manual, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Policy Manual, and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), California Disabled Accessibility Guidebook (CalDAG), and Title 24. We prepare detailed designs with strict attention to all intersection and roadway elements, including grading and drainage, sight distances, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) conformity, active transportation and complete streets, erosion control, pavement design, utilities, signing and striping, drainage, water quality, stage construction and traffic handling, and signal and lighting. Projects are designed in AutoCAD Civil 3D allowing the efficient creation of cross sections, drainage profiles, and calculation of quantities. The development of high quality PS&E is critical to successful projects. We seek to limit change orders and contractor claims by closely integrating the plans, specifications and bid quantities - item descriptions contained in the specifications must match those in the bid and on the plans. One of the first questions our engineers ask when beginning a design is, “How will this be measured and paid for in the contract?” Construction items are determined in detail at the PS&E level, including traffic control elements, drainage, pavement delineation and sign quantities, etc. If lump sum or final pay items are used, we make sure to provide sufficient detail on the plans and in the specifications so that the Contractor can provide an informed bid. Our engineers are well-versed in preparing specifications using 2018 Caltrans Standards, Greenbook Standards, or Local Agency Standards. We are also well-versed in projects with federal funding and the requirements such as inclusion of the proper federal wage rate determinations in the contract and other required contract language. The Engineer’s Estimate is developed using the most recent Caltrans Cost Data Book costs for bid items following the Basic Engineering Estimating System (BEES) number and description. This information is augmented with information from recent local bids to determine an estimated unit cost for each project item. Active Transportation Design GHD specializes in active transportation design following the guidelines and design standards recognized by the City and established by Caltrans and local agencies, listed below: −Chapter 1000; Bicycle Transportation Design, contained in the Highway Design Manual, 7th Edition (California Department of Transportation, 2019) with supporting Chapters 200, 300, and 400 −California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2014 Edition, Revision 8 −Caltrans, Design Information Bulletin Number 89-02, Class IV Bikeway Guidance −Caltrans, Design Information Bulletin Number 94, Complete Streets: Contextrual Design Guidance −Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide, 2015 −American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, 2012, Fourth Edition −National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), Urban Bikeway Design Guide, and Expanded Guidance Documents −Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MDOT), Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide, 2015 −National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 498 Application of Pedestrian Crossing Treatments for Streets and Highways The Highway Design Manual (HDM) Chapter 1000 contains detailed standards and guidance that should generally be followed. However, as desired by the City of San Luis Obispo, GHD has referenced and applied design concepts from the AASHTO Guide and the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide. Caltrans has supported the NACTO from a memorandum dated August 20, 2013 for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Design Flexibility. The NACTO addresses more recently developed bicycle design treatments and techniques. It provides options that can help create Complete Streets that accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians more safely. Many treatments in the NACTO guide are compatible with Caltrans HDM policies and demonstrate new and innovative solutions for the varied urban settings across the country. The vast majority of treatments illustrated in the NACTO guide are either allowed or not precluded from the CA-MUTCD. In addition, non-compliant traffic control devices may be piloted through the CA-MUTCD experimentation process. Caltrans has now issued DIB 94 on Complete Streets designs which provides guidance on context- sensitive design . 78 On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE City of San Luis Obispo GHD Green Street Design GHD has applied the Green Streets approach to water quality treatment within the public right of way on numerous projects. This approach is essentially designed for projects where regular maintenance can be a challenge or adequate footprint is not readily available. This approach requires treatment to the “maximum extent practicable” or MEP. GHD has worked on various Green Streets design projects for agencies such as Sand City, the City of San Diego and the City of Anaheim. This approach can be applied to transportation engineering and design work in the City of San Luis Obispo. Construction Support Services GHD provides the full range of Construction Engineering and Construction Management (CE/CM) for public agencies. We’ve successfully delivered the construction phase for everything from small preventative maintenance to major bridge projects, with services ranging from On-Call inspection to full turn-key CE/CM. Our staff and in-house procedures are fully prepared to manage the extensive record keeping, inspections, partnering, claims management, change orders, surveying, safety, traffic management, etc. necessary for delivering quality projects. In addition, we are well-versed in managing environmental commitments and consistently provide effective public relations. For many clients, our services extend all the way to signature- ready Caltrans paperwork and preparation of Caltrans invoices for agency reimbursement. Pavement Management and Maintenance GHD staff are highly experienced in pavement management and pavement management systems. GHD is experienced in pavement assessment and reporting that includes not only the visible distresses but the environmental and drainage conditions as well. GHD can help the City extract the most utility from its pavement management software, StreetSaver, by reviewing the incorporated data and identifying opportunities to expand the input database. GHD’s experienced professionals can review and develop pavement rehabilitation recommendations that consider the City’s priorities and consider time tested and new technology rehabilitation strategies. If appropriate, GHD can also compare these strategies with a present worth, life cycle cost analysis. We have experience developing pavement rehabilitation strategies focused on one or more of the following: Rejuvenating the asphalt binder, supplying additional friction, correcting cross slopes, reducing crack propagation, correction of rutting, functionally extending the life of the pavement, and effectively increasing the pavements structural capacity (under certain conditions). Presentations and Public Meetings Effective transportation planning and design requires a thorough understanding of community and stakeholder goals, objectives, and priorities. GHD has successfully held community workshops and stakeholder group meetings of all sizes throughout California communities like San Luis Obispo. GHD is accustomed to traditional in-person outreach events like workshops, pop-ups, intercept surveys, open houses, and safety or bike rodeos. However, GHD has also successfully used non-traditional web- based approaches to maximize public participation by interacting with the community at home and on-the-go. GHD routinely develops project websites that are in turn able to host rich interactive content that can provide valuable input on public opinion and priorities. Transportation planning and design issues often require complex and subtle transportation concepts to be communicated effectively to the community at-large in “layman’s” terms. GHD has developed effective, graphically rich simulation and visualization tools to facilitate public understand of operational trade-offs and subtleties between planning and design alternatives. Through our Spatial Science and Digital service lines, we have experience developing interactive GIS web-based tools that can significantly increase public participation reach – particularly in disadvantaged communities. Using detailed maps, these tools allow the public to input comments about barriers, connectivity gaps, safety issues, potential solutions, or other location-specific needs. An example interactive map GHD developed using Social PinPoint GHD City of San Luis Obispo On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE 79 can be viewed at this link below. No matter the setting or project, ensuring a shared process of information gathering, problem identification, and priority setting is critical. GHD has successfully worked through contentious stakeholder groups, including local, regional, and state agencies, to achieve consensus on controversial issues. The City of San Luis Obispo can trust GHD to represent and explain transportation plans and projects effectively and with integrity at any public meeting or governing board hearing. Surveying MBS Land Surveys (MBS) has been providing a full range of surveying services at all project phases, from planning to construction, for decades. As such, MBS survey staff have expertise with a wide range of surveying tasks and ensure that each task keeps pace with the project schedule. MBS licensed personnel are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and are experienced in all aspects of surveying in order to support all of our professional disciplines. MBS surveyors have a great working knowledge of the Subdivision Map Act and the Professional Land Surveyors Act, as well as applicable state and local regulations and other related government codes which affect the determination of boundaries within the State of California. MBS has stringent AutoCAD standards for our mapping, which ensures that accurate and clean base mapping is provided for all projects. MBS has expertise in the tasks outlined below: −Preparation of Boundary Surveys, Descriptions, and Plats −Prepare/Review Final and Parcel Maps and Records of Survey −Right of Way and Easement Research −Utility Verification and Record Document Mapping −Project Control Survey −Certificates of Compliance −Aerial Mapping Control −Mobile and Drone LiDAR Topographic Mapping −Topographic Field Surveys −CAD File Setup and TIN −Vegetation/Tree Survey −Set Monuments Transportation Planning and Modeling Transportation Planning is one of the pillars of GHD’s transportation consulting practice. Whether developing a neighborhood traffic calming plan, a safe routes to school plan, a circulation element, active transportation plan, capital improvement program, assisting with grant funding, or development of impact fee programs, GHD applies the same attention to details and quality control at every level of effort. Transportation Planning typically addresses a combination of short-term and long-term circulation, access, and mobility concerns. In past On-Call arrangements, GHD has completed a wide variety of transportation planning efforts, ranging from citywide plans to local neighborhood studies, and every scale in between. Comprehensive citywide planning efforts that GHD has completed during the course of past On-Call contracts include preparing Circulation Element Updates, Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines, Development Impact Fee Updates, Travel Demand Model Updates, Active Transportation Plans, Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans, Systemic Safety Analyses, and Capital Improvement Program Updates. Neighborhood and community-level planning efforts that GHD has completed during the course of past On-Call contracts include preparing Multimodal Corridor Studies, Complete Streets Plans, Traffic Calming Studies, Local Safety Studies, and Safe Routes to School Studies. In support of agency development review processes, GHD is regularly asked to either prepare traffic impact analyses for proposed development projects or prepare peer- reviews of developer-led impact analyses. GHD is familiar with local and state requirements for impact analysis, the rules and requirements of CEQA, and applicable legislation like SB 743. We have successfully prepared and defended impact studies for high-profile development projects in many communities. The City of San Luis Obispo can trust GHD to prepare unbiased defensible traffic studies that ensure full potential impact disclosures and identify realistic, implementable mitigation measures if necessary. GHD has decades of experience identifying and developing funding and implementation plans for future transportation improvement needs. We understand the performance metrics utilized in statewide and federal grant programs and have demonstrated our ability to secure competitive grant money for vital local transportation projects. 80 On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE City of San Luis Obispo GHD Performance-based Planning In February 2010, Caltrans released Smart Mobility 2010: A Call to Action for the New Decade. This document provides a broad planning framework to help guide multimodal and sustainable transportation planning and development along with providing tools and techniques to assess how plans, programs, and projects meet “smart mobility” goals throughout the state. The fundamental premise of the Smart Mobility Framework (SMF) is to ensure that planning or programming decisions for transportation improvements are performance based (i.e., quantitative), transparent, and address sustainable outcomes and objectives. GHD embraces this planning and analysis framework, which ensures that the resulting improvement recommendations provide a balanced, sustainable, and multimodal assessment of current and forecast corridor conditions. The six objectives are consistent with grant application performance metrics, ensuring that improvement recommendations from planning efforts are aligned with competitive grant criteria. Safety Planning GHD is well versed in both traditional “hot spot” safety assessments, as well as systemic safety analyses. Both are data- driven processes. The former aims to identify and remediate known collision hot-spots (reactive approach) while systemic approaches attempt to eliminate or mitigate risk factors statistically proven to be associated with specific collision types prior to collision history (proactive). As that effort progresses concurrent to this On-Call contract, GHD will be able to leverage information and analysis resulting from the SSAR if the City requires a safety analysis for a specific problem location, for example - in response to a citizen or stakeholder concern. GHD recognizes that given the City of San Luis Obispo’s mix of rural and urban context, conflicts between vehicles and pedestrian/ bicyclists can be a significant problem. Based on GHD’s safety planning experience, these conflicts typically involve the lack of protected mid-block pedestrian crossing treatments and the lack of bicycle buffer and storage accommodations at intersections. GHD is familiar with the Highway Safety Manual Part-C Predictive Method, as well as the latest National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) research on pedestrian crossing treatments and low-cost safety countermeasures for pedestrians and bicyclists, including but not limited to: −Systemic Pedestrian Safety Analyses: NCHRP 17-73 −Application of Pedestrian Crossing Treatments for Streets and Highways: NCHRP 498 −Crash Modification Factors for Uncontrolled Crossings: NCHRP 841 GHD has ample experience monetizing the benefits of Fatal and Serious Injury (FSI) collision types to inform benefit-cost assessments for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) safety grants. Active Transportation and Safety Funding As the importance of transportation safety and non-motorized transportation mode shift continue to gain federal and state prioritization, so has new funding opportunities for active transportation and transportation safety projects. GHD routinely attends bicycle and pedestrian planning, safety, and design seminars to keep our fingers on the pulse of grant-making entities. GHD has actively supported its clients to identify funding opportunities for active transportation planning and implementation. The following funding sources being the most prominent in recent years: −Bicycle Transportation Act (BTA) −CA Complete Streets Act (AB 1358) −State and Federal Active Transportation Program (ATP) −Senate Bill (SB) 1 ATP Augmentation −SB 1 Solutions for Congested Corridors −SB 1 Sustainable Communities Planning −State Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) −Systemic Safety Analysis Resource Program (SSARP) Safe Routes to School The number of parents driving children to school have increased due to parents wanting to make sure their children are safe from the neighborhood traffic on the way to school. Safe Routes to School (SR2S) is a program that allows our kids to get safely to and from school. Creating a safe route for children often requires that a program or improvement plan be created and implemented. The basic approach used to come up with solutions includes what is described as the “4 E’s”: −Engineering: Tools that can reduce traffic volumes, decrease speed, and improve safety, such as sidewalks and bike paths. −Education: Teaching kids about their responsibilities and about traffic rules to bike safely and be good pedestrians. −Enforcement: Enlist local law enforcement to enforce safety laws and increase community awareness of school safety issues. −Encouragement: Developing awareness of walking and biking to help kids with physical activity. Safe Routes to School Education materials by GHD GHD City of San Luis Obispo On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE 81 Traffic Operations Analysis Today’s suburban and urban environments necessitate the use of numerous traffic operational analysis tools of varying complexity and capabilities. A traffic operational analysis may be required to evaluate improvements to existing infrastructure, such as signal timing optimization or signal coordination plans, modifications to infrastructure, such as the changes to roadway or intersection geometry or control, or to evaluate potentials traffic impacts of capacity-increasing projects or new developments. With an increasing programming emphasis and funding priority towards active transportation and transit improvements, today’s traffic analyses also need to help quantify trade-offs between transportation modes when vehicular capacity may be reduced to improve safety and operations of bicycle, pedestrian, and transit modes. Prior to developing an analysis model, GHD collects field data along study corridors by collecting counts by mode and classification, observing queues, saturated flow rates, and performing floating car travel time runs. Additionally, we often supplement field data with available “Big Data” from free sources (NPMRDS, PeMS, LEHD) and commercial sources (INRIX, Here, StreetLight, BlueFax, AirSage, Streetlytics, etc.) based on project needs. Our staff is fully versed in the preparation of validated and calibrated operational and simulation models in the following popular software suites, and more: −HCS 7 −PTV Vistro 7/VISSIM 10 −Synchro 10/SimTraffic 10 −Sidra 8 (Intersection & Network) Each software suite has specific strengths and weaknesses from a capability and reliability perspective. Depending on whether the analysis is centered on signal timing optimization/coordination, road diet, roundabout analysis, corridor micro-simulation, traffic generation and assignment, or multimodal access, GHD has the expertise and tools on-hand to prepare a defensible model and results you can trust. Our traffic operational analysis experience includes implementation of the following methodologies, through commercial software platforms (listed above), as well as custom- built in-house models: −Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) Multimodal Level of Service (Automobile, Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Transit) −Segment, Approach, and Crossing Level of Traffic Stress (Bicycle and Pedestrian) −Non-HCM Roundabout Methodologies (Australian and UK methods) Roundabout Operations Since our staff first embraced the use of roundabouts over 15 years ago, we have been involved in over 200 roundabout planning and/or design projects and conducted Intersection Control Evaluations (ICE) at over 20 locations following Caltrans’ adopted process. We have hosted numerous roundabout trainings for Caltrans staff and various local agency clients. We understand the limitations of various software packages in adequately modeling roundabout operations, and just as importantly, we understand the importance of simulation to visualize operational and safety benefits to stakeholders. Active Transportation and Complete Streets Operations We fully embrace the principles of complete streets, road diets, and green streets and are familiar with emerging guidance and standards being developed for active transportation modes. However, we understand that active transportation planning must consider operational impacts to vehicular modes of transportation. In many cases, the implementation of active transportation roadway and infrastructure elements, including leading pedestrian intervals, increased walk times, wider bicycle lanes and sidewalks, protected bike lanes and intersections, bulbouts, and median refuges result in a decrease in capacity for automobile traffic. Providing clear, balanced, and informative performance metrics between alternatives that emphasize access and mobility for distinct travel modes is an important part of the planning and design process. Decision makers and community stakeholders can trust GHD to paint the full picture. 82 On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE City of San Luis Obispo GHD Traffic Signal Design, Timing Optimization, and Coordination Traffic signal design, street lighting design, and signal timing has long been an integral specialty of GHD. Our long-standing reputation for completing complicated traffic signal projects makes us especially qualified for the anticipated signalization, optimization, and coordination projects anticipated in the City of San Luis Obispo. GHD provides traffic and electrical engineering services such as reviewing and preparing PS&E for traffic signal and street lighting projects (both new installations and retrofits), signal interconnect systems, signal timing plans, in-pavement illuminated pedestrian crosswalks, emergency vehicle preemption systems, and parking lot lighting, as well as other traffic engineering functions related to traffic operations and safety. We have prepared PS&E for over 200 California traffic signal installations, including preliminary impact and signal warrants evaluation, traffic engineering studies, design and preparation of PS&E, project bidding services, contract management, and construction inspections, requiring the work to conform to various local, state, and national standards for clients, including local and state agencies, as well as private developers. Intelligent Transportation Systems The City’s existing arterial and collector network presents significant opportunity for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) improvements that can increase safety, reduce congestion, improve transit service levels, and position the City as future-ready for “Smart City” strategies down the road. With the City considering a multimodal transit station that could offer a place where Amtrak trains, Regional Transit (RT) light rail trains, e-Tran buses, cars, Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft, bicycles and pedestrians could come together, it will be critical for supporting services to “speak to each other” and communicate effectively to the public. GHD understands the programs, projects, and technical architecture necessary to achieve higher customer service with updated equipment, communication, Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), and management at Traffic Operations Center (TOC). ITS systems considered in the City will need to conform with the ITS Policy and the Regional ITS Architecture (i.e., Smart Region Sacramento ITS Architecture). Coordination with Caltrans Project delivery requires successful Caltrans coordination. This cannot be overstated; the ability to navigate the Caltrans Local Assistance project development process has become a widely recognized specialty of GHD. The Caltrans approval processes can be confusing and slow projects down, which might risk jeopardizing project funding requirements, unless you have a team that knows the Caltrans requirements nearly as well as Caltrans does. Conducting the three phases of Caltrans Authorization to Proceed with Construction (E-76) process (Preliminary Engineering and NEPA Clearance (Task 7.2), Right of Way (Task 7.5.1), and Construction) efficiently and in order is critical to ensure federal funds can be authorized for the project. GHD recently completed this effort on a South Lake Tahoe bicycle and pedestrian project, which was in danger of losing federal funding unless GHD could find ways to advance the project schedule. GHD completed the CEQA analysis (a Mitigated Negative Declaration) ahead of schedule, which allowed early public notification and adoption of the CEQA document by the City Council. This will allow for the important milestone of allowing Caltrans to issue the Categorical Exclusion prior to the funding cutoff. Communications Support, Mixed Reality & Design Engineering GHD SMES are adept at leading advisory committees, stakeholder engagement and public outreach forums both in-person and online using innovative and interactive tools. Our online engagement tools were particularly valued during COVID, providing participatory mapping for stakeholders to make location-based comments, participatory budgeting and “gamification” decision tools to assist with resource-constrained decision-making, and visual engagement tools to convey complex topics in a interactive fashion. Achieving consensus between different groups is not easy when there are diverse constituencies. Our team is seasoned at stakeholder engagement and will bring both their skills and collaboration toolsets that create value for the City. Example tools include: Interactive engagement portals and maps through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) −3D Renders – Dynamic Digital Storytelling from 2D to 3D for increased understanding of planning and visualization −3D CSM- EVS3D - Geographical Visual Data Representation from the field captured in 3D −AR & VR Trainings – Increased in productivity, reduced costs and increased engagement in real time and from the field. −Digital Engineering & Twin Technologies - Increased operations efficiency, decrease risk with L1-L5 simulations, support decision making with predictive analytics. −3D Dashboards – Bringing data to life in one cohesive view −Engage and Model viewer – Virtual community rooms and 3D model viewers that produce increase productivity and community engagement −Full website development such as ReadySLO.org GHD City of San Luis Obispo On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE 83 Plan Checking Services For reviews, GHD initially reviews the subdivision plan submittal and supporting documentation for adherence to current City standards and requirements. Early in the plan review process we conduct a field review to determine if the engineer had adequately addressed design issues at the boundaries and if the engineer had accurately depicted existing topographic conditions. Initial plan reviews will be accomplished within a reasonable time frame, and comments would be transmitted back using a Comments Resolution Table we have used for previous client plan reviews. We have all the necessary staff in house to accomplish the reviews including streets, drainage, sanitary sewer, soils information, landscape architecture, legal documents, maps, erosion, and sediment control, and SWPPP. Plan Checking - Checklist Prior to beginning the plan check, the GHD team will prepare a checklist of items to be reviewed. This checklist would be prepared using the San Luis Obispo Improvement Standards and Specifications, as well as other check lists prepared by GHD for other clients. This checklist would be used as a starting point to review the submitted improvement plans. GHD will commit to completing the first plan review within ten working days of receipt for the first and second plan reviews, and one week for the third plan review, as the third plan submittal should have resolved all outstanding comments left over from the second plan review. Comments would be incorporated into a Comments Resolution Table which would be provided through the City to the engineer/ developer for their use in revising their plans. This Comments Resolution Table would also include all comments from City divisions or departments. Any technical studies submitted as part of the improvement plans package would be dealt with in a similar manner. Attendance of Meetings Requested GHD will attend any and all meetings as requested by the City. This would also include attendance at Planning Commission or City Council meetings, or even a community meeting. At the City’s approval, we would also be willing to meet with the engineer to go over the Comments Resolution Table. These meetings could be held at our offices, or in the engineer’s office, or at the City. Depending on the situation and availability of staff, we could be available for a meeting at the City with as little as two hours’ notice. b. Services or data anticipated to be provided by the City GHD anticipates the following to be provided by the City as needed for the project: −Previous Traffic Count Data −Previous Traffic or Operational studies −Access to the City's Traffic Model −As-Built Plans −City Benchmark Data −Timely review of work products −Current Signal Timing data −Collision Data −Relevant Grant Application details 84 On-Call Transportation Design Services Specification No. 5009.2024.TE City of San Luis Obispo GHD → ghd.com
