The project was awarded to TJKM during late 2014 as a follow up to an earlier parking study project. The TJKM contract manager for the study, who had also completed the earlier study kept on missing the deadlines and eventually left TJKM in early 2015 and joined other organization. The San Carlos project was then transferred to a new TJKM project manager, along with other projects from the departed contract manager. During this transition period, the new TJKM project manager was unable to meet the San Carlos deadlines. The deliverable deadline was delayed by two weeks, as agreed with City of San Carlos during a Project Status meeting with City staff. The letter of termination was sent without advance warning. By that time, delivery of the deliverable was late by two months, and TJKM chose not to contest the termination.

We understand from the request for qualifications that we will be called on to assist the City in delivering Capital Improvement Plan projects and to provide technical expertise for planning and designing of a wide range of transportation projects. Our specialized experience includes: Ū Engineering Experience with Implementation Focus: Alta’s engineering staff excel at assisting agencies with bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure implementation. Our civil and traffic engineering skills offer a perspective that goes beyond the standard – we consider public transit, bicycle, and pedestrian needs in design plans when engineering roadways. Further, we have completed a large number of intersections that many would consider unconventional. These projects place a very deep tool box of traffic solutions firmly within our experience. Our staff are capable of full PS&Es in-house. Ū Comprehensive Multimodal Planning and Analysis: Planning for multi-modal and active transportation requires an interdisciplinary approach to develop solutions that address challenging issues. Our analytics team uses data-driven modeling to quantify project needs and benefits, resulting in more objective prioritization and stronger funding applications. Ū Interdisciplinary Expertise: Preparation of technically sound and implementable plans requires a combination of urban design, transportation engineering, landscape architecture, education and safety programs, economic analysis, and public outreach skills. Alta provides all of these services in-house and offers them in a “studio” format with all disciplines collaborating on most design projects, resulting in higher quality results.. Ū Local Knowledge. Alta staff have worked with communities throughout California on hundreds of local plans, county and regional plans, as well as dozens of bicycle boulevards, and other bikeways of all classifications. Our work on the ground in California gives us a unique understanding of the local challenges that must be addressed to achieve sustainable, multimodal communities. Having lived in SLO for ten years of my life, I’ve walked and biked thousands of miles of throughout the city walking and biking experience the city and on surrounding roadways, and I have a deep understanding of local mobility challenges and opportunities. As a resident of SLO, I advocated for and worked on many of the projects that have been implemented in the region in last decade, including managing the production of the Cal Poly Bicycle Circulation and Safety Study. More recently, I have provided design review services to the City of SLO through our work on the Active Transportation Plan. We hope to collaborate with you on the exciting endeavors that will result from this on-call. I will be your single point of contact for this RFQ process and project administration once the on-call contract is awarded. If you have questions or need further clarification on any portion of our submittal, please contact me at (406) 624-6117 or joegilpin@altaplanning.com.

WORK PROGRAM This page intentionally blank transportation | recreation | innovation 45 Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services | Alta Planning + Design Alta has worked with many public agencies across the country in an on-call capacity. Our specific approach to working in an on-call, technical support role involves close client communication, frequent collaboration during project development, and management of effi- cient delegation of tasks to the Alta team, relevant necessary subconsultants, and client agency staff. SOUND AND EXPERIENCED APPROACH Alta’s key staff outlined in the SOQ have experience with similar environments with many being educated in, worked in and residents of San Luis Obispo at some point in their careers. These staff have years of design and implementation experience; and are skilled at understanding each unique project and how to provide improvements while respecting local context. Careful Project Planning Effective project management requires careful defi- nition of tasks, responsibilities, and products so that each team member has a shared understanding of each piece of the project. We begin with a thorough understanding of the project context and issues, the client’s goals and objectives, and each specific task and product. At project initiation, we will refine the scope, schedule, and budget into a detailed work plan addressing all tasks to be completed, deliverables, project schedule, and project budget. An Efficient, Collaborative Process The Alta team will help create and deliver a collabora- tive effort between City staff and key project stake - holders. We take special pride in our ability to generate effective and informative collaborative relationships with our clients and project partners. CAREFUL PROJECT PLANNING Effective project management requires careful defi- nition of tasks, responsibilities, and products so that each team member has a shared understanding of each piece of the project. We begin with a thorough understanding of the project context and issues, the client’s goals and objectives, and each specific task and product. At project initiation, we will refine the scope, schedule, and budget into a detailed work plan addressing all tasks to be completed, deliverables, project schedule, and project budget. Communicate Effectively with Strong Project Management Ū Regular Team Meetings. Alta believes in good coordination and communication with our clients. Technology is not a substitute for open and regular communication.

A. APPROACH 46 City of San Luis Obispo | Alta Planning + Design Quality Assurance/Quality Control Alta maintains a quality assurance/quality control system along with strict adherence to established business procedures. Our team employs a three-tier quality control system that includes (1) review by peers, (2) independent review by principals, and (3) in-house scheduling and management tools. Our QA/QC process will provide both plan verification and schedule compliance. All members of the project team have the authority to identify quality problems, and to initiate, recommend, provide, and verify the necessary solutions. The QA/QC process will be led by the principal-in- charge, whose primary role will be to ensure the integration of goals of the project and to verify the accuracy and consistency of project deliverables. Our quality management procedures will see that: Ū Work is performed by qualified personnel Ū The necessary information is documented, checked, transmitted, and reviewed for completeness Ū Documents will be reviewed by staff technical writers for accuracy Ū Products are reviewed by staff not directly involved in the project to provide a fresh perspective and insight Time and Budget Management Alta project managers use Deltek Vision software to manage the complete lifecycle of a project. Our 30 offices across the US and Canada are able to track and manage staff time commitments and project progress with streamlined collaboration and information sharing across a distributed project team. All time commitments, project costs, and fees are captured in real time for accurate and complete client budgeting and billing. Project cost control can also be attributed to: Ū A strong, experienced project management team with a proven track record Ū Open lines of communication between the project team and the City Ū Striving to produce a project that exceeds the expectations of the City within the established budgets and schedule Our team has an excellent record of delivering high quality, award-winning, comprehensive projects to communities on-time and within defined budgets. The Alta team provides a deep bench of expertise in civil transportation design, traffic engineering, signal design, landscaping, and active transportation planning needed to complete projects on this on-call. 47 Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services | Alta Planning + Design POTENTIAL TECHNICAL OR MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS Potential Problems Alta team has collectively well over 100 years’ experience leading all kinds of planning, civil, and landscape projects. But we all know that sometimes things do not go as smoothly as expected. History has taught us that many of the issues that develop over the life of a project come down to problems with communication and having a full understanding of the client’s expectations. Approach to Solutions Because our principals maintain a strong and active presence on every project assigned to them, we rarely see a project develop major technical or management issues. Alta emphasizes a rigorous training in project management, especially in being able to communicate effectively and delivering a successful end product. The fundamental method for delivery of services outlined above with an emphasis on staying in close communication with our clients, and our three-tier quality control procedure will see that we limit the ways in which “things” can go wrong. Original, Creative, and Practical Designs Our work includes all stages of planning, design, engineering, and implementation, and the team leaders bring many years of experience implementing transportation and managing community outreach and environmental concerns. We take pride in our ability to generate effective and realistic designs that can reflect, motivate, and inspire movement towards a more beautiful, sustainable public realm. Moreover, we have the ability to explain these changes, some of which can be new to many agency partners and stakeholders, in ways that solidify consensus and generate excitement. Lessons Learned Over the past years, Alta has worked on a variety of projects using the method described above. We have found that a strong project manager with good communication and collaboration skills, grounded in the fundamentals of good project management – balancing the budget and schedule along with client expectations – have led to successful end results. Alta will address data needs for each Task Order as the first step of the planning process. We expect each project will be unique, requiring a unique scope of services developed within the same overall approach. Typical needs include existing plans, drawings, aerial photos, and documents related to past projects in the study area. Additionally, Alta requests available GIS and traffic data. If existing data is not available, Alta will develop a scope of work and budget that outlines data needs and the cost to obtain it. An example of possible data needs can be found in Sample scope of work in Section 3.C Additional Information. B. DATA NEEDS 48 City of San Luis Obispo | Alta Planning + Design 1.3 Field Tour and Site Visit A walking tour of the corridor is an important aspect of a Complete Streets design project as it provides an opportunity to see first-hand the challenges and opportunities along the corridor. Up to three Alta staff, including the project manager, will meet with City staff to discuss the project goals and perform a field tour of the corridor to view existing field conditions. We will photograph the corridor to aid design efforts. In addition, we will review private driveway access, inter- section crossings, and signal operations. In order to minimize travel costs, this field tour will be held on the same day as the project kick-off meeting described in Task 1.2 above. 1.4 Base Map Preparation Alta will utilize City-provided as-builts, GIS, and aerial data to merge previous information and prepare base mapping in AutoCAD for the corridor. 1.5 Data Collection Alta will conduct peak hour traffic turning move- ments (for large buses/private shuttle services, motor- ists, bicyclists, and pedestrians), Average Daily Traffic (ADT), and speed counts, and inventory existing number of on-street parking spaces (both capacity and demand parking study at four different hours throughout the day). In addition, Alta will conduct field observations to evaluate existing traffic, access, and circulation patterns for transit, motorists, pedes- trians, and bicyclists and identify challenges and opportunities. 1.6 Traffic Analysis Alta will prepare an analysis of the corridor, modeling the proposed lane and signal configurations using daily, weekday A.M. and P.M. peak period vehicle traffic counts. Traffic counts will be provided by the City to Sample Scope of Work For the approach that follows, we have supplied a broad sample scope of services for a multimodal corridor design project. TASK 1: SCHEMATIC DESIGN/DESIGN DEVELOPMENT 1.1 Advance Coordination The Alta team will review previous project related materials supplied by the City in advance of the first series of meetings. The City will supply all relevant materials, including, but not limited to, traffic counts, Synchro simulations, parking inventories/studies, aerial photos, relevant CAD or GIS data, and applicable near-term projects along the corridor (including any construction documents/concept plans). In addition, electronic copies of important plans, drawings and studies should be provided, and any other relevant documents. 1.2 Project Kick-off Meeting The Alta team will prepare for and attend a project kick-off meeting with City staff. This meeting will review and refine the project scope, review the public involvement process, and review the project schedule and the key milestones required to facilitate successful construction of the project. We will also collect back- ground data, with the exception of traffic counts, and documents not collected in advance of the meeting. The anticipated working process and communica- tion protocols will be reviewed, along with accounting and project management process and materials. This project kick-off meeting will be held on the same day as the field tour described in Task 1.3 below. C. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 49 Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services | Alta Planning + Design 1.8 Schematic Concept Design Based on the field tour, kick-off meeting with staff, and community input, Alta will prepare up to three sche- matic designs and develop cost estimates for each alternative. We will provide site plan illustrations (using a combination of Adobe and AutoCAD design soft- ware) of the corridor. These illustrations are intended to intuitively communicate the details of the proposed designs to a wide variety of stakeholders; however they will be based in AutoCAD, allowing efficient tran- sition into later plan submittals. This will be an iterative design process and it is assumed we will have two working meetings with City staff during this phase of work to evaluate the ideas throughout the process (Task 1.8). The concept design will illustrate ideas for parking configuration, intersec- tion treatments, pedestrian and bicyclist facilities, and connections to schools, residential, and retail. In addi- tion to the overall site plans, typical cross sections. 3D vignettes will be prepared for the corridor that will demonstrate the allocation of space for all modes of travel. Alta will identify and prepare a report to document the opportunities and constraints of each alternative for the schematics concepts to City staff. The report will also consolidate the data, observations, stakeholders’ input, analysis, and recommendations. 1.9 Preliminary Engineering Plans (30% PS&E) Alta will prepare the following plan documents based on the schematic concept design for submittal to the City.

Reference No. 1 Cacique and Soledad Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridges & Corridor Improvements Customer Name City of Santa Barbara, Public Works Department Contact Individual Brian D’Amour, P.E., City Engineer Telephone & Email (805) 564 – 5363, BDAmour@SantaBarbaraCA.gov Street Address 630 Garden Street City, State, Zip Code Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Date of Services Spring 2015 to Spring 2018 Contract Amount $486,972 Description of Services On September 27, 2014, the City was awarded $2,703,000 in Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funds for the design and construction of the Cacique and Soledad Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridges and Corridor Improvements Project. Bengal knows that ATP projects must be delivered quickly to use the funding: Bengal delivered all environmental permits and a full PS&E on-time. Bengal Engineering provided project administration and management, surveys and mapping, utility coordination (which was substantial), electrical design, landscape and creek restoration, preliminary engineering, environmental technical reporting, hydraulic design, geotechnical exploration, foundation design, right of way mapping and support, final plans, specifications and estimate, construction bidding support and design support during construction. The project design was completed under budget, with no change orders. Project Outcome Project Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_yvk6uBC6Y&t Design The design contract was awarded in February 2015. The kick off meeting was March of 2015 and the project’s contract documents were sealed for bidding in February 2017. Please note this project was a federal and state funded grant, which required NEPA/CEQA certification along with the requirements as outlined in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual. Bidding Public bidding costs came in 10% under the engineer’s estimate and construction was awarded in June 2017. On the award date, Bengal’s design support during construction contract was also awarded. Because of Bengal Engineering’s efficiency, our design support during construction was within the original design contract’s extra services amount. Construction The first construction meeting was held in July 2017 and work began shortly after. In February 2018 the final components of the project were completed allowing a ribbon-cutting ceremony in May 2018, opening the multi-use trail connections to the public. Elsewhere, work continued on four city blocks of street lighting, added as a bonus to the taxpayers, because Bengal’s base design received such favorable bids. This project was recognized at Engineers’ Week as ASCE 2019 Project of the Year and at APWA as the 2019 Project of the Year. Page 10 Page 11 Page 12 Reference No. 2 South Coast Transfer Station Stormwater Compliance Project Customer Name Santa Barbara County, Department of Public Works Contact Individual Todd Curtis, Civil Engineer Telephone & Email (805) 882-3600, tcurtis@co.santa-barbara.ca.us Street Address 130 East Victoria Street City, State, Zip Code Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Date of Services Fall 2016 to Winter 2018 Contract Amount $228,810 Description of Services The South Coast Transfer Station Stormwater Compliance project ensured compliance with the 2014 California Waterboard ‘Industrial Stormwater Program (ISP)’. Adopted in 2014, this program requires full compliance to the Statewide General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities, Order 2014-0057-DWQ (Industrial General Permit or IGP) by fall of 2018. Bengal Engineering provided project administration and management, utility coordination, utility design, structure design, preliminary engineering, hydraulic and hydrology design, final plans, specifications and estimate, construction bidding support, design support during construction and construction management services. Project Outcome Design Industrial stormwater compliance regulations require facilities like this to contain 100% of the stormwater generated on site. Once collected, it then mandates specific rain events to discharge this stormwater to a sewer system. However, the Goleta Sanitary District had strict guidelines of their own; because of capacity issues in the pipelines/plant, they could only accept discharge late at night, regardless of when rainfall occurred. To accommodate various constraints, the team undertook a multi-phased effort to successfully comply with the State ISP program. Construction The first phase of construction began in late fall of 2016 and was wrapped-up by the first winter rains. This first phase contained and collected the stormwater of the refuse transfer area. The second and third phases were built in the summer of 2018. These included construction of: A) An underground storage system to contain storm water until allowed discharge times B) A pump system to convey stormwater from the underground tanks to the new storm drain leading to the sewer. C) A 2000-foot-long storm drain system leading to an authorized sewer connection. Client Quotes after Completion “Your services were greatly appreciated and vital to getting this project completed. I would have been in a bad spot had I been faced with managing this work myself.” Todd Curtis, Project Manager “Successful completion of this project kept us out of court.” Mark Scheich, Deputy Director, Resource Recovery Page 13 Reference No. 3 Cabrillo Boulevard Bridge Replacement Project Customer Name City of Santa Barbara, Public Works Department Contact Individual Mike Giuliano, Senior Construction Engineer, Caltrans Telephone & Email (805) 549 - 3072, Mike_Giuliano@dot.ca.gov Street Address 50 Higuera Street City, State, Zip Code San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Date of Services Fall 2006 to Fall 2017 Contract Amount Bengal’s Contract: $2,124,970 Construction Cost was about $26 Million Description of Services The Cabrillo Boulevard Bridge Replacement is the most involved, most expensive, Federally- funded Highway Bridge Replacement Project which has been undertaken by City of Santa Barbara to date. This complex project replaced a 100-year old bridge at the heart of the City’s waterfront at State Street and Cabrillo Boulevard. “This complicated project is located at the most important intersection for tourism in this City,” said Derrick Bailey, City Traffic Engineer. Bengal Engineering provided project administration and management, right-of-way mapping, utility coordination, utility design, landscape and creek restoration, preliminary engineering, environmental study management, hydraulic design, geotechnical exploration, foundation design, bridge design, right of way mapping and support, final plans, specifications and estimate, construction bidding support, and design support during construction. Project Outcome Project Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXQOiX5_mVw Design Bengal began the early stages of geometric design on this intricate project in winter 2006. There were many hurdles along the way including challenging soil conditions, expensive right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation, cooperation with nearby hotel development, along with limited work room. Obtaining the many environmental permits proved to be a long and difficult process, but Bengal developed innovative engineering to accommodate each of the requirements. After negotiating through all the complexities, the project was advertised for construction in June of 2014, and the City received multiple bids similar to the Engineer’s Estimate. Construction Sequence: Stage 1: Mountain-side foundation system and upstream Mission Creek walls Stage 2: Mountain-side bridge superstructure and downstream temporary pedestrian bridge Stage 3: Ocean-side foundation system Stage 4: Ocean-side bridge super structure and many utility relocations Stage 5: Remove 120-foot long temporary pedestrian bridge; Reconstruct City Park This project has been twice recognized for engineering excellence: ASCE Ventura / Santa Barbara 2017 Project of the Year APWA Central Coast Chapter 2019 Project of the Year Page 14 Page 15 d.

Work Program a. Bengal Engineering Approach Bengal understands a project’s path is not always a linear. We approach a project with flexibility and an open mind to new ideas to be innovative while still being grounded to the regulations / standards that are a caveat of the industry. We pride ourselves on the ability to make projects a reality where a “team approach” is always one of the most important elements. We consider the team not only to be our internal staff but also the public at large who will be the end user. Whether it is aesthetic touches from local board/commissions to a concerned citizen, there is value in all who come to the project table. (Right) Bengal Engineering staff beaming after a successful projects ribbon cutting. Page 36 Bengal’s Project Approach Requires the Understanding of Key Issues: – Some projects must follow the protocol of the funding agency. Bengal is well versed in procedural protocol required for a variety of local, state and federal agencies. –Projects in tight urban environments must accommodate the many city and private utilities, which exist both underground and overhead. Most projects in urban locations face traffic handling challenges because of the volume of traffic, street network configuration, utility relocations, and nearby businesses and residences. Efficient construction staging is always key for project success. – In order to construct projects, right-of-way is always critical to consider. We make sure there is enough room to build the project while balancing to minimize impacts to private property. –Projects in today’s world must protect and enhance riparian habitat. Bengal has performed this value added work on multiple City projects. - Aesthetics must be consistent with the neighborhood, and receive global approval. Bengal creates detailed visual renderings to give the reviewing audience a better understanding of the project ’s look and feel (see following for examples). Cota Street Bridge Rendering De La Vina Street Bridge Replacement “Street View” Page 37 Lower Mission Creek Flood Control Project “Botanical” Rendering Lower Mission Creek Flood Control Project “Structural” Rendering Page 38 b. City Provided Services/Data Data and needs of a project are project dependent. Typically the City provides record drawings and “engineering data” relevant for a particular project. Often the agency will provide right-of-way information and if need-be, right-of-way negotiation/acquisition services. On some projects the agency will supply topographic surveying, environmental planning / permitting or utility relocation services. Bengal is flexible in our work approach. We can tailor the approach to any project to make the City’s job easier, while allowing the City to control the project as you like. c. Other Relevant Information Public infrastructure projects should have a positive impact on the communities where citizens live and work. Bengal begins every project searching for the best way to serve the public so that residents and public agencies can feel good about the services provided to local communities.

From 2001 to 2012, we provided consistent services for the following: • Templeton Area Model Update • Los Osos Traffic Model • South County Nipomo Area Traffic Model Update • Countywide Bikeway Map • South County Nipomo Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Update • Nipomo Road Impact Fees • US 101/South County Corridor Study In 2012, the County established an On-Call Master Consultant List for 2012 - 2014, for which we were selected as one of the coveted consultants. 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 • 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 In 2017, the County needed an On-Call consultant for construction engineering and management and materials testing, and GHD was selected, 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.

This contract has led to being awarded several projects including the following: • Whitmore Avenue and Hatch Road Traffic Signal Synchronization Improvement Plans • Morgan/Aristocrat Roundabout and Central Avenue/Pine Street/Industrial Way Roundabout PS&E • Mitchell Road, Hatch Road, and Whitmore Avenue Corridors Traffic Signal Synchronization Improvements • Sinclear Elementary School & Blaker-Kinser Junior High School Traffic Calming Analysis • Fowler Road between Mitchell Road and Boothe Road Traffic Impact Study Enjoying the responsiveness and working relationship already developed, the City once again retained GHD in August 2016 under a Master Agreement for Consulting Engineering to perform any needed services. This contract has led to being awarded the following project: Traffic Signal at Morgan Road Pedestrian Countdown Head Installation (started in November 2017). Two projects that we feel are relevant include: • Whitmore Avenue and Hatch Road Traffic Signal Synchronization Improvement Plans: GHD was retained by the City to coordinate the signal timing alternatives along the following corridors: Whitmore Avenue (Mitchell Road to Eastgate Boulevard) - 3,500 LF, Hatch Road (Mitchell Road to Boothe Road) - 2,200 LF, and Hatch Road (Boothe Road to Eastgate Boulevard) - 1,400 LF. During preliminary discussion, the City staff expressed an interest in a coordination plan that accommodated pedestrian calls within the signal timing plans. In addition, analysis of a coordination plan that would “step out” to accommodate pedestrian calls was developed. This project was federally funded and will install fiber optics, signal interconnect cables, and associated conduit/pull boxes connecting signalized intersections. GHD provided the engineering plans necessary for the City to prepare appropriate environmental approval documents for CEQA and NEPA. The new fiber was designed by GHD with horizontal directional drilling whenever feasible to minimize construction costs and impacts. Cut/cover trenching was minimized by using existing pull boxes where feasible. No new utility service(s) and no utility relocation will be required. The coordinated timings were successfully implemented in the winter of 2016. • Morgan/Aristocrat Roundabout and Central Avenue/Pine Street/ Industrial Way Roundabout PS&E: GHD prepared a task order to design two roundabouts in a very constrained location. We are currently preparing PS&E with the following improvements: –Inscribed Circle Diameter (ICD) of approximately 100 feet –Attempt to design with no right of way acquisitions and minimize driveway impacts to existing residence in SE quadrant –Provide basic central island landscaping (cobble and a few trees) –Provide lighting –Provide WB-67 truck access in the north-south direction and maximize truck access to/from Aristocrat –Provide minimum of eight-foot sidewalks with two-foot buffers between bike ramps, and provide accessible crossings City of Ceres On-Call Traffic Engineering Services Ceres, CA | GHD Reference Toby Wells City Manager City of Ceres 2220 Magnolia Street Ceres, CA 95307 1 209 538 5751 Project Cost • On-Call Services: Varies for each project • Signal Synchronization: $21,260 • Roundabouts: $132,755 Duration Varies for each project Year of Completion Professional Services • On-Call Services: Varies for each project • Signal Synchronization: 2016 • Morgan/Aristocrat Roundabout: 2018 Construction • Traffic Signal Synchronization: Under Construction • Other Projects: N/A Key Personnel • Kamesh Vedula QUALIFICATIONS: TEAM INFORMATION GHD | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | 15 Fowler Road Traffic Impact Analysis Traffic Signal Synchronization Improvements Sinclear Elementary and Blaker-Kinser Junior High School Traffic Calming Analysis Morgan/Aristocrat Roundabout and Central Avenue/Pine Street/Industrial Way Roundabout 16 | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | GHDQUALIFICATIONS: TEAM INFORMATION Starting in 2001, the City formalized the On-Call process and we were selected to support the Community Development Department and became the City’s Transportation Planning and Design Consultant. Prior to this formal process, GHD has provided transportation related services to the City for nearly 20 years, assist- ing them with their General Plan Circulation Element updates, major modifications to two interchanges, and countless transportation related studies/traffic studies. GHD also assisted them with the transportation impact fee program and Bicycle Master Plan. We provided professional surveying services to the City for several years including boundary/topographic surveying, monumentation, and right of way engineering for Central Galt/SR 99 interchange, Twin Cities Road/SR 99 interchange, and Twin Cities Road widening. In 2012, GHD signed an On-Call Engineering contract that led to work on: • Traffic Modeling for Simmerhorn Commercial Potential • SR 104 (Twin Cities Road) Roadway Widening • Twin Cities/East Stockton Boulevard SE Commercial Phased TIS • Simmerhorn Road at SR 99 Ramp Intersection Study • Simmerhorn Chevron TIS • 2015 Traffic Capital Improvement Program Prioritization and Fee Update • Wilton Rancheria Casino Traffic Forecasts In 2014, GHD was selected to provide On-Call Bicycle & Pedestrian Facility Design, Construction Management, and Inspection Services that led to: • “Fallen Hero’s Memorial” Tonn Memorial Design and PS&E • Dry Creek Oaks General Plan Amendment Traffic Assessment • Walker Park Plats/Legal Descriptions, LAFCO Application (3 annexations) In 2015, we re-signed the On-Call Transportation Planning contract that led to the Arco/Starbucks Traffic Study on Twin Cities Road and the River Oaks Unit 3 Circulation Study. Below are two projects that we feel are of importance to dis- cuss in detail: • SR 104 (Twin Cities Road) Roadway Widening: GHD was retained by the City to complete the roadway widening along Twin Cities Road from Bergeron Road to just east of Fermoy Way. This was a fast-track project, which was designed and delivered through the Caltrans Encroachment Permit Office and put out to bid in nine months. We were responsible for preparation of PS&E, traffic signal modification, roadway/drainage design, utility coordination/relocation, and obtaining Caltrans encroachment permit. The project included coordination with two adjacent projects - the SR 99/SR 104 Roundabout Interchange project and the Walmart Development project that included changes to Fermoy Road and Twin Cities Road. • 2015 Traffic Capital Improvement Program 20-Year Prioritization & Fee Update: The City contacted GHD to perform an update to the 2009 Traffic Capital Improvement Program, Northeast Area, and Capital Facilities Fee Updates that did not assume full build out of the City’s General Plan land uses. GHD developed a 20-year land use absorption forecast based on current market conditions, taking into account the decrease in development activity during the recession. This forecast formed the basis of a new 20-year travel demand model scenario. Equipped with new forecasts, GHD worked with City staff to develop a prioritized TCIP that included a subset of the previously identified improvements required to mitigate 20-year conditions. A new fee was developed based on this TCIP.

GHD managed the project from initial topo- graphic and boundary survey to “ready-to-list” construction bid documents. The project required CEQA and NEPA clearance for which SWCA Environmental Consultants provided the necessary technical studies includ- ing a visual impact assessment and biological resources memorandum. The GHD design included the use of permeable pavement in the parking stall areas to capture and infiltrate stormwater runoff on-site, thus precluding the need for structural water quality BMPs or other methods which would be required to treat stormwater discharges. A Location Hydraulic Study was prepared to document the calculations used in the permeable pavement design, sized to capture the 100-year event. In addition, GHD prepared a Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report for the project since a portion of the site lies within a regulatory floodplain. GHD’s in-house landscape archi- tect prepared planting and irrigation plans for the project, which included recycled water specifications, parking area shade trees, and drought tolerant shrub/ground cover materials water with a low volume drip irrigation system. GHD assisted the City by interfacing with Caltrans District 5 Local Assistance through every step of the process from environmental, through utility coordi- nation and right of way certification, to PS&E certification and federal forms supporting the Request for Authorization for Construction package submit- ted in February 2016.

GHD’s job as a consultant is to maximize the value of your dollars by minimizing the dis- ruption to staff by providing outstanding project coordination. GHD is aware that scopes, schedules, cost, and duration will vary with each project, and proposals will be developed for each specific project assign- ment. GHD’s approach is to provide a complete “turn-key” service to the City of San Luis Obispo for each of your specialty areas. This effort on your be- half will provide a complete array of “staff services” that will act as an extension of the City’s existing work force. We have assembled a GHD Team with a wide range of qualifications and experience to meet all the of potential projects and tasks as listed in the RFQ. Your On-Call staff will be based primarily in our San Luis Obispo office, but will draw on other company expertise as needed. The subconsultants we have supporting us are all experts in their fields. Project management GHD provides project management services in- cluding: Project schedules, monthly status reports, project records, meeting coordination/minutes, communication/liaison with City staff, communica- tion with the business and/or residential community, and prepare and disseminate project newsletters (as appropriate). Scope and define required services Determining the scope of work before project initi- ation is critical. Proper identification of all aspects need to be considered prior to the initial work. By carefully and properly defining the required services early, we are able to efficiently complete a more accurate process. Schedule management For some companies, uncertainty has the poten- tial to create difficulties in delivering projects within the time frame. 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 are always able to meet project deadlines. Upon written or verbal request and depending on the type of project, meetings can generally be scheduled within the week following. For larger projects, formal schedules will be created using Microsoft Project or Excel to identify critical path tasks and resource requirements. From the kick-off date, milestones are set for each project task for peer review of project deliverables. As the project advances, it is watched closely so that the items are completed within the time required. 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 and as a hard copy. Identifying costs We have extensive experience working with partici- pating and non-participating costs 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 Caltrans A&I on several occasions. Budget management If you are not paying adequate attention, it is easy to overspend the project allocation. We start each project with a clear understanding of expenditure expectations. As projects progress, we keep our Budget Tracking Spreadsheet up-to-date. The WORK PROGRAMGHD | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | 63 spreadsheet will track ongoing quantity over and under-runs, potential changes, approved change orders, etc. Traffic engineering and design GHD specializes in all aspects of traffic engineering, from preliminary design to final design and con- struction support. Our staff are well-versed in local standards and policies (City of San Luis Obispo), Caltrans Highway Design Manual, American Associ- ation 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 strip- ing, 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 or- ders 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 Con- tractor 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 and established by Caltrans and local agencies, listed below: • Chapter 1000; Bicycle Transportation Design, contained in the Highway Design Manual, 6th Edition (California Department of Transportation, 2017) with supporting Chapters 200, 300, and 400 • California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2014 Edition, Revision 2 • Caltrans, Design Information Bulletin Number 89, Class IV Bikeway 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, 2014 • 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 64 | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | GHDWORK PROGRAM 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 Bicy- cle and Pedestrian Facility Design Flexibility. The NACTO addresses more recently developed bicy- cle design treatments and techniques. It provides options that can help create Complete Streets that accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians more safe- ly. Many treatments in the NACTO guide are com- patible 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. 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 pilot projects for agencies such as 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 Engi- neering 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 man- agement, change orders, surveying, safety, traffic management, etc. necessary for delivering quality projects. In addition, we are well-versed in manag- ing 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 distress- es 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 data- base. GHD’s experienced professionals can review and develop pavement rehabilitation recommen- dations that consider the City’s priorities and con- sider time tested and new technology rehabilitation strategies. If appropriate, GHD can also compare WORK PROGRAMGHD | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | 65 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 ca- pacity (under certain conditions). Presentations and public meetings Effective transportation planning and design re- quires 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 pri- orities. 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 plan- ning 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 disadvan- taged 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 ex- ample interactive map GHD developed using Social PinPoint 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. Geotechnical investigation and surveying Yeh and Associates, Inc. (Yeh) is a full-service geotechnical firm first established in Denver, Colo- rado in 1999. The building block of Yeh is providing specialized expertise in engineering geology and geotechnical services for transportation, infrastruc- ture and public works projects. Consistent with that history, Yeh opened the Grover Beach, Cali- fornia office in January 2015 and recruited a team of senior professionals with a strong background in public works projects in California. These staff have been working on projects in California for up to 25 years. Eleven staff are now working from two offices to service projects throughout California. The firm employs a total of about 160 professionals with vast experience in the fields of pavement design, geotechnical engineering, geology, engineering geology, and construction management. Yeh’s office and laboratory that will perform the geotechnical services for this project are located in Grover Beach. 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 66 | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | GHDWORK PROGRAMrange of surveying tasks and ensure that each task keeps pace with the project schedule. MBS licensed personnel are equipped with state-of-the-art equip- ment 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 pro- gram, 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 circula- tion, access, and mobility concerns. In past On-Call arrangements, GHD has completed a wide variety of transportation planning efforts, ranging from city- wide 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, Devel- opment 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 Cor- ridor Studies, Complete Streets Plans, Traffic Calm- ing Studies, Local Safety Studies, and Safe Routes to School Studies. In support of agency develop- ment 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 mea- sures if necessary. GHD has decades of experience identifying and de- veloping funding and implementation plans for future transportation improvement needs. We understand the performance metrics utilized in statewide and WORK PROGRAMGHD | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | 67 federal grant programs and have demonstrated our ability to secure competitive grant money for vital local transportation projects. 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 transpor- tation planning and development along with pro- viding 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 trans- portation improvements are performance based (i.e., quantitative), transparent, and address sustain- able 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 condi- tions. The six objectives are consistent with grant application performance metrics, ensuring that im- provement 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 anal- yses. Both are data-driven processes. The former aims to identify and remediate known collision hot- spots (reactive approach) while systemic approach- es attempt to eliminate or mitigate risk factors statis- tically proven to be associated with specific collision types prior to collision history (proactive). As that effort progresses concurrent to this On-Call con- tract, 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 stor- age accommodations at intersections. GHD is familiar with the Highway Safety Manu- al Part-C Predictive Method, as well as the latest National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) research on pedestrian crossing treat- ments 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 at- tends 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) 68 | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | GHDWORK PROGRAMSafe 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 improve- ment 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 responsi- bilities 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. Traffic operations analysis Today’s suburban and urban environments necessi- tate 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 sig- nal 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-in- creasing 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 transporta- tion modes when vehicular capacity may be re- duced 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, sat- urated 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 opera- tional 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 per- spective. Depending on whether the analysis is centered on signal timing optimization/coordina- tion, road diet, roundabout analysis, corridor mi- cro-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 round- abouts over 15 years ago, we have been involved in over 200 roundabout planning and/or design WORK PROGRAMGHD | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | 69 projects and conducted Intersection Control Evalu- ations (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 model- ing roundabout operations, and just as importantly, we understand the importance of simulation to visu- alize 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 devel- oped 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. 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 es- pecially 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 review- ing 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 park- ing lot lighting, as well as other traffic engineering functions related to traffic operations and safety. We have prepared PS&E for over 200 California traf- fic signal installations, including preliminary impact and signal warrants evaluation, traffic engineering studies, design and preparation of PS&E, project bidding services, con- tract 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 devel- opers. Intelligent transportation systems The City’s existing arterial and collector network presents significant opportunity for Intelligent Trans- portation 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 sta- tion 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, com- munication, Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), and management at Traffic Operations Cen- ter (TOC). ITS systems considered in the City will need to conform with the ITS Policy and the Region- al ITS Architecture (i.e., Smart Region Sacramento ITS Architecture). 70 | Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo Transportation On-Call Services - No. 100.50500.7227.TE | GHDWORK PROGRAMCoordination with Caltrans Project delivery requires successful Caltrans coordination. This cannot be overstated; the ability to navi- gate 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 Authori- zation 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 feder- al 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 Nega- tive 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. Plan checking services For reviews, GHD initially reviews the subdivision plan submittal and supporting documentation for adherence to current City standards and require- ments. Early in the plan review process we conduct a field review to determine if the engineer had ade- quately addressed design issues at the boundaries and if the engineer had accurately depicted exist- ing 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 pre- vious 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 incor- porated 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 improve- ment 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 avail- able for a meeting at the City with as little as two hours’ notice. GHD is one of the world’s leading professional services companies operating in the global markets of Water, Energy & Resources, Environment, Property & Buildings, and Transportation. We provide engineering, environmental, and construction services to private and public sector clients.

Qualifications a. Experience of the Firm Before launching GroTrans Engineering, LLC, Ms. Grote served the City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department for more than 30 years in progressively responsible positions. In her last year and a half, she was Deputy Director of the Transportation Planning and Programming Division, and prior to that, the Deputy Director of the Street Maintenance Division. Her previous 26 years were in the Traffic Operations Division managing a wide range of traffic engineering projects for Phoenix. Her project experience is very similar to the projects listed in the RFQ -- Workscope for On-Call Transportation Services: • Planning, design, construction assistance, and technical review of efforts directed to roadway design, traffic signals, roadside safety features, signage and striping programs, pavement maintenance programs and related features and activities. • Travel Demand Modeling using the City of San Luis Obispo Traffic Model (Transcad), the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments Countywide Transportation Model (Transcad) or other forecasting software, • Expertise with multi-modal traffic operations analysis software such as Synchro Version 9, VISSIM, Highway Capacity Manual software, • Review development proposals for consistency with City policy & programs, traffic impact study guidelines, and consistency with transportation best practices, and • Assist staff with processing projects with Caltrans and other regional/State agencies that require permitting of transportation related improvement projects. Ms. Grote’s historical knowledge of transportation policies, guidelines, procedures, and plans make her the ideal person to provide her experience in providing on-call transportation services. b. Experience of the Staff GroTrans Engineering LLC currently employs only the Principal and owner; Jenny L. Grote. As seen in the list of projects attached to Ms. Grote’s resume, she has had more than 30 years of municipal traffic and transportation engineering experience and two years with the transportation engineering consulting firm of BRW, Inc. (now owned by URS) early in her career. Her project experience includes the categories listed below: • Traffic Services related to Planning, Design and Operations of roadways through the construction phase for optimum traffic service levels, • Roadway enhancements to improve mobility and safety for all travel modes that involve signing and striping changes, • Traffic control changes to enhance pedestrian safety programs, neighborhood traffic mitigation programs and school safety programs, • Review of private developments regarding parking assessments and minimize traffic impacts to the adjacent road system, and • Liaison with other regional and State agencies. Serving the Transportation Needs of Your Community Page 8 www.gro trans.com All consultant services’ deliverables will uphold the mandates in the 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and California Supplement. If a sub-consultant is needed in another area of expertise, GroTrans will request written authorization from the City of San Luis Obispo in advance. Ms. Grote has many traffic and transportation professional contacts from California, the western states, and internationally whom she has close contact from her ITE involvement. Ms. Grote was International President of ITE in 2002 and has been very active at the International, Western District and local levels of this 15,000-member professional organization. Through her affiliation with ITE and her work contacts, Ms. Grote has strong ties with several municipal traffic/civil engineers and transportation engineering consultants in the San Luis Obispo area and throughout the United States. Some have partially retired yet are still active in the transportation network and willing to conduct sub-consultant work on an as-needed basis. These contacts could offer expertise from their many years of a wide variety of experience and are also familiar with municipal traffic engineering projects. c. Redundancy of Staff Since GroTrans only employs the owner, there is no redundancy in staff experience. A sub-consultant would only be retained if Ms. Grote did not have that expertise, and only with prior written approval from the City of San Luis Obispo. An often untapped resource pool is the students at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo who are members of the Student Chapters of professional organizations, such as ITE and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Having them as local resources can help them gain practical experience and exposure to real-world traffic projects, such as the ones identified by the Public Works Department. ITE acknowledges this resource and offers grants to student chapters to encourage professionals to use this valuable resource; students in civil engineering, traffic and transportation programs. d. Resumes of Individuals Ms. Grote’s complete resume is included in the Appendix. Most of the experience of the Principal of GroTrans Engineering, LLC was during her tenure with the City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department. Ms. Grote is acquiring contracts as a consultant and sees this work with the City of San Luis Obispo as an opportunity that aligns with her background on similar projects while employed at the City of Phoenix for 31 years. Ms. Grote’s historical knowledge of traffic engineering policies, guidelines, procedures, plans and politics makes her the ideal person to provide guidance on conflicts and concerns that may exist and need to be overcome in the implementation of national best practices to benefit the motoring public. e.

GroTrans Engineering, LLC is a certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) with the City of Phoenix and a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) with the Arizona Department of Transportation. Serving the Transportation Needs of Your Community Page 11 www.gro trans.com Submittal Forms3. Work Program a. Approach GroTrans is firmly committed to providing support to the Public Works Department staff in achieving their goal of completing transportation projects in the Capital Improvement Work Program and conducting development reviews for mitigating impacts to the transportation system and enhancing the multi-modal network. The transportation element may be a small role in the overall project scope, however; the decisions made in the planning phase and pre-design phase need an experienced and educated transportation professional to guide the construction phase of roadway projects. In addition, long-term maintenance is often overlooked, yet needs a regular cycle of repairs, in tandem with a long-term funding source. The firm’s owner, Jenny L. Grote, is committed to using her 31 years of municipal traffic engineering experience to help deliver a successful, sustainable transportation system for the City. In fact, she sees herself as an extension of staff and will support their policies and overall philosophies to maintain their high standards and quality environment that is prevalent in San Luis Obispo. Ms. Grote will work closely with other City departments to ensure timely and safe completion of all work with minimum risk and inconvenience to the traveling public. Since GroTrans Engineering, LLC has one enthusiastic, experienced, and educated employee, Ms. Grote will be available as needed, to supplement City staff. She has two other small contracts or commitments as of the date of this proposal. She can be housed either in her home office, or in City facilities, or both. Ms. Grote has extensive office and field experience and is flexible to accommodate the needs of the traffic engineering staff. If there is an area of expertise that Ms. Grote cannot provide, she remains connected to a large network of traffic and transportation professionals through her strong affiliation with ITE and her work as outlined in the Qualifications section. Regardless of the technical needs, the most qualified transportation professional, or firm, will be selected. If they do serve as a sub-consultant to GroTrans, it is understood that they will need prior written approval from the City. If field reviews or data collection is needed, GroTrans will seek a sub- contracting arrangement with local Cal Poly students in the civil engineering and traffic/transportation programs. Involving students in real-world projects is an excellent way for them to get experience in their career choice. It not only helps them gain experience their future profession, but it will help GroTrans by having local students who have flexible schedules and should offer a cost savings to the project budgets. Ms. Grote is available as of May 20, 2019, as an on-call transportation services consultant to the City of San Luis Obispo. Serving the Transportation Needs of Your Community Page 12 www.gro trans.com b. Services or Data Provided by the City GroTrans will assess the services and data needed for each project. The assumption is that the majority of base data will be provided by the City, such as plan sheets, project scope and budget, the most recent traffic data, traffic volume counts, past field observations and work orders. If the City is not able to provide the necessary services or data, they will be obtained by Ms. Grote or sub-contracted by GroTrans. Equipment needs will vary by project, however; if a local office presence is desired by the City, basic items such as office supplies, a phone, digital camera, computer with internet access and printer, measuring wheel, personal protective clothing for the field, etc. will be needed. Otherwise, basic equipment will be provided by the home office of GroTrans. If a specialty item or City vehicle is required for a project, it should be provided by the City’s Public Works Department. c. Other Information Being selected as an on-call traffic engineering consultant for the City of San Luis Obispo offers a two-fold opportunity for the Principal of GroTrans Engineering, LLC; Jenny L. Grote. • First, this is an opportunity for GroTrans to expand its reputation as a successful engineering consulting firm. GroTrans Engineering, LLC was established in 2005 with the intent of having contract opportunities with municipal agencies where Ms. Grote can best use her 31 years of knowledge, skills and abilities as a City Transportation Engineer. • Secondly, Ms. Grote would like to be considered as an extension of the City’s Transportation Division staff for the Public Works Department. Her desire is to join a team who provides quality transportation services to the citizens of San Luis Obispo. Therefore, this is a timely opportunity to accomplish both goals and be able to complement City staff in providing mobility for all street users yet maintain the high level of service and quality of life that make San Luis Obispo one of the most livable cities in the west.

Monthly sessions on a variety of topics for staff members/mentees to learn from the Human Resources Department experts on how to hone their skills and learn from their requested Mentors who represent a wide variety of jobs within the City of Phoenix. Technician Training Program - Developed an ongoing technical training program for the technician level with funding from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. Contracted with guest speakers for instruction in: Basic Fundamentals of Traffic Engineering, 2003 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and Arizona Supplement, and Traffic Signal Timing. Purchased technical support resource documents and applicable on-line distance learning courses to supplement the courses. Conducted 60+ web seminars offered by professional organizations for technical topics. Jenny L. Grote, P.E., PTOE, PTP Page 5 PROGRAMS DEVELOPED & IMPLEMENTED (continued) Federally Funded Grants - For the past eighteen years, my role has been grant manager over all Federal grants in the Traffic Services Division. This includes funding from SAFETEA-LU Enhancement Fund grants for pedestrian and bicycle improvements and funding from the Governor ’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS). After writing proposals and receiving approvals, served as Project Manager for the implementation phase as well, including construction projects. Crosswalk Safety Improvement Program - This program was requested by City Council and the Mayor in response to a series of serious pedestrian collisions in Phoenix. My assignment was to develop an effective program to address the concern and reduce collisions. By using the “three E’s” of traffic safety, I emphasized the ‘Education’ element for all ages, and combined it with stricter ‘Enforcement’ by requesting heavier surveillance from the Police Department, and added ‘Engineering’/Operational improvements in the field. After monitoring collisions after three years, pedestrian collisions were reduced by sixteen percent. Bicycle Lane Program - A request from City Council and Mayor in the late 1980’s, was to respond to the alternate modes push occurring across the country. Phoenix had only bike paths at the time, and no separately designated bike lanes. In ten years, Phoenix went from zero bike lanes to more than 200 miles of designated bike lanes on city streets. My role was to select the appropriate streets, design the striping, signing, and treatment at intersections. Neighborhood Traffic Management Program - In 1989, one of my responsibilities was to develop a program to reduce or eliminate intruder traffic and speeding traffic through neighborhoods, again for integrity purposes. Obtained Council approval of the program, hired staff, set technical parameters of the program, coordinate Police enforcement and fines, design and install signs, obtain neighborhood consensus through public meetings and surveys. Residential Permit Parking Program - Developed a parking program to preserve the integrity of neighborhoods by prohibiting intruder parking on residential streets, while allowing residents to park on the street. Wrote accompanying City Code allowing the program, obtained City Council approval, conducted neighborhood meetings and surveys for consensus, designed and installed signs and permits, coordinated Police enforcement, and developed database. More than twenty neighborhoods now participate, since the program started in 1988. ATMS Signal System - Was instrumental in implementing the City’s state-of-the-art signal system that became operational in March 1998. My involvement came in the beginning stage when we needed to obtain $6.3 million of Federal funds to design and build the system. Once it was approved, helped design, bid, award contracts and oversee the construction. The new system controls surveillance cameras and the existing 970+ traffic signals citywide. Reverse Lanes - Reverse lanes were installed in Phoenix in the late 70’s and early 80’s. In 1988, City Council requested that both of the existing lanes be extended to include more miles of reverse lanes. My assignment was to select the locations, design the signs, bid the project and serve as project manager until the project was open three months later. Today, Phoenix has 13+ miles of reverse lanes on 7th Avenue and 7th Street.

Project Outcome Sample services include: S. Milliken Distribution Center Traffic Impact Analysis: Interwest was asked to review a request by the applicant to revise the traffic study. In particular, the request to add a statement that an analysis of the mainline freeway would not be required since the project would not add more than a minimum number of peak hour trips. Interwest advised the City that the Caltrans requirements are more complicated than that and that the report did not include the information necessary to support such a statement. Polopolus-Lewis Development Traffic Impact Analysis: Interwest reviewed the trip generation table for a multi-use project surrounded by residential neighborhoods and adjacent to a large sports complex with soccer fields, equestrian facilities and a concert venue. The proposed project included fast food restaurants, a coffee shop, a high-turnover restaurant, retail commercial, a gas station, medical office, a hotel, and a Civic Center with a government office building and library. The complicated trip generation table included a mode shift (for walking), internal capture and pass-by reductions. Their assumptions regarding mode shift, pass-by reductions and government office trip generation rates were carefully reviewed, as were their worksheets for determining internal capture based on NCHRP 684 Internal Trip Capture Estimation Tool. Some of their results did not make sense and they were advised to reassess their assumptions and check their work before proceeding with the traffic analysis.

LIST OF AVAILABLE SERVICES Interwest’s traffic engineering staff will tailor our services to each assignment requested by the City of San Luis Obispo. Examples of traffic engineering services we commonly provide include: • Preparation of engineering studies in response to citizen requests for traffic control device installations and modifications, such as stop signs, traffic signals, crosswalks, traffic channelization and speed zones. These studies will typically include the review of traffic collision, traffic count and/or speed survey data, field review of existing traffic control devices and motorist/pedestrian/bicyclist behavior, corner sight distance analysis, minimum stopping sight distance analysis, warrant studies based on the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) and City standards/guidelines, discussions with City staff regarding the findings and recommendations, preparation of concept/final plans, as needed, and a report summarizing the findings and recommendations. If requested, the study will also be presented at community meetings or City Council meetings. • Address school-related traffic concerns, including meeting with school staff, parents and residents, field observation of behavior, data collection as-needed, analysis of the need for speed feedback signs, crossing guards, crosswalks, stop signs, flashing beacons, etc., recommendations and a summary of findings and recommendations. • Preparation of traffic impact analysis reports, including discussions with City staff regarding study intersections, project opening year, approved projects and any project concerns, a review Page 19 of the site plan regarding internal circulation and external access, a field review of existing intersection geometrics and any unusual conditions, traffic count data collection, project trip generation and assignment, level of service analysis based on City guidelines/standards, identification of significant project impacts, proposed mitigation measures, and a report summarizing the analysis, findings and recommendations. • Review of traffic impact studies prepared by others, including the review of on-site circulation and project access, study intersections, project trip generation and assignment, level of service methodology and assumptions, accuracy of analysis and conclusions, appropriateness and feasibility of proposed mitigation measures, and preparation of comment memo. • Preparation of signing and striping plans, traffic signal plans, traffic control plans and traffic calming plans. These tasks will generally include the collection of existing plans for the street segment or intersection, field review to compare the plans to existing conditions, traffic data collection, as-needed meetings with City staff to ensure complete understanding of the desired design and to discuss/clarify any options, timely revisions in response to plan review comments, and signed and stamped final plans, specifications and cost estimate. The plans and specifications will be prepared in accordance with City standards, the CA MUTCD and other applicable standards. • Private and public development plan review for traffic-related plans, ensuring that the plans are in compliance with City and other applicable standards. The reviews will include recommendations for approval (conditions of approval). • Review of traffic signal timing plans and collision data for intersections, with recommended adjustments. We will provide technical advice to City’s staff in connection with the maintenance and the operation of the City’s traffic signal facilities. • Assistance in the development of relevant policies. Many changes are taking place in transportation engineering that cities need to be prepared for. They include SB 743 regarding changes to how traffic studies are prepared for CEQA, including the use of vehicle mile traveled (VMT) instead of intersection or street segment level of service (LOS) to determine a proposed project’s significant impact. The state is currently finalizing the regulations. Cities need to develop their own policies and fee programs in response to these new regulations to protect their interests. Autonomous (self-driving) cars are already being tested. Their potential impacts are unknown. They could increase the number of trips but reduce the needed parking. The transportation engineering profession, as well as our own traffic engineers, is tracking their development. • Preparation of grant applications for funding from Federal, State, and regional agencies for traffic safety studies and improvements. • Assist construction inspectors in the interpretation of plans, specifications and other contract documents for assigned projects. • Support public involvement and community outreach for selected traffic and transportation projects. Tasks may include attendance and participation in public meetings, creation of various education and outreach materials such as project flyers, PowerPoint presentations, etc. Page 20 • Prepare small-scale pavement marking, signage, delineation and concept plans. • Investigate traffic issues including site observation, and collision analysis and recommendations. • Assist in preparing requests for proposals and grant applications. Our professional staff of transportation and traffic engineering consultants can provide a host of additional services, at the City’s request. Page 21 S ECTION 3 Work Program A. APPROACH TO WORKING WITH CITY STAFF Our team will provide the City of San Luis Obispo with the following fundamental elements: • Customer service. One of the keys to the success of the City is providing your customers (developers, engineers, and contractors) with excellent service. We are committed to providing you and your constituents a level of service that will meet or exceed your expectations. • Budget-conscious approach and implementation. Our services are provided in a cost-effective manner and will be adjusted to remain within the City’s budget constraints. We will monitor and evaluate our areas of responsibility and make recommendations for additional cost savings to the City where possible. • Tailored, City-specific services. We deliver skilled and thorough plan review services for assurance of compliance with all Federal, State, County, and City-adopted codes and ordinances. The City can expect a high-level of technical assistance in the development of Request for Proposals for transportation engineering and plan check services. We will then effectively provide oversight of the selected firms. • Effective Coordination with other City Departments. Our people are trained in promoting collaboration and cooperation with other departments and agencies. Effective communication is a key component and we have multiple communication solutions available which will be flexible to the unique needs of the City. • Ability to adjust service levels to meet your needs. We can quickly fine-tune staff or staffing levels to match changes in activity to ensure a high level of customer service is maintained. We have selected staff uniquely qualified and experienced to deliver the exact services requested. In addition, we are skilled at assessing time commitments, developing an accurate work plan and applying dedicated, professional personnel. B. SERVICES OR DATA REQUIRED FROM THE CITY In the course of providing our services, data required from the City may include: • Traffic counts (ADT or Peak hour) • Traffic Collision data • Access to as-built drawings • Access to City’s GIS or Infrastructure database • Traffic signal maintenance records and timing sheets • Standard Plans • Development standards Page 22 C. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION In addition to the firm and staff qualifications provided in this SOQ, which we believe set Interwest apart from other firms you may consider, below, we detail some additional factors that will benefit the City of San Luis Obispo if Interwest is selected to provide these services. These include: • Quality Control/Quality Assurance • Budget and Schedule Adherence Management Techniques • Longevity and Financial Stability QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE Interwest knows that our continued success relies upon delivering high quality products to our clients with attention paid to details. Quality control is not just a review of the final work product prior to its delivery to a client. Rather, true quality control is a commitment to a process of ongoing “critical eye” review and oversight throughout the project. Routine and formal checks on assignment progress is critical for successful completion and client satisfaction. Therefore, for each traffic engineering project we are assigned, we will create and maintain assignment schedules and provide progress reports where needed and provide internal quality control reviews of data collected and recommendations made. As most of our staff are former public officials, we understand the public impacts of our reports and recommendations. Recognizing the importance of Quality Control/Quality Assurance, Interwest’s Director of Traffic Engineering Services, Nicole Jules, PE, will assure Interwest’s products and services are of the highest quality and integrity. Her role will be similar to that of an independent auditor who will regularly check on our products and services to ensure they are meeting the City’s needs, at no additional cost to the City. In this endeavor, we are not just looking to meet but to exceed the City’s expectations. For those transportation projects eligible for Federal funding, numerous design checklists have been developed by Caltrans and augmented by Interwest. These checklists are a rigorous way to assure that nothing has been missed and force discussions between various design disciplines. In addition, Caltrans requires that local agencies receiving funds for a Federal-aid transportation project must have a Quality Assurance Program (QAP). A frequently overlooked aspect of quality control is the approach when something goes wrong. We feel strongly that our approach to quality issues is a key reason we have been successful with our clients: • We identify the issue as a team, in a transparent manner, with an attitude of responsibility • We develop solutions while keeping the City’s best interest as the first priority • We implement the solution as a team • We evaluate the process and system to determine the cause of the issue • We learn from the issue and develop systems or training to address the weakness Caltrans requires that local agencies receiving funds for a Federal-aid transportation project must have a Quality Assurance Program (QAP). Page 23 Interwest will establish Project Schedule and Budget Tracking Systems for each project and regularly review these with the Team to ensure there are no cost overruns or project delays. BUDGET AND SCHEDULE ADHERENCE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES The primary management technique employed by Interwest to achieve budget and schedule adherence is clear and consistent communication between the City’s project managers and Interwest’s Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager. In our experience, the most common reason for delays or budget issues is a lack of clarity at the start of the project, compounded by failing to maintain ongoing communication regarding project status. Interwest will not allow schedule and budget variations to affect our projects. At the start of each project, we collaborate directly with the City’s project managers and stakeholders to clarify preferred means of project communication (face-to-face meetings, telephone, email, etc.), and confirm project budget, billing procedures, and documentation requirements. Daily communication with our project team and regular status reports allow us to know where we are, and what lies ahead. With hundreds of currently active clients, we have no need to reinvent the administrative wheel for each project. Our internal procedures ensure that we are compliant with our client’s requirements and preferences, and that any project scheduling and budget concerns are communicated promptly to the City for consideration and resolution. LONGEVITY AND FINANCIAL STABILITY Interwest Consulting Group is an established service provider, formed in 2002 to provide seamless integration of municipal service professionals in support of public agencies. Our company was founded by individuals with a passion for serving municipalities.

STATEMENT OF INSTANCES OF PROJECT REMOVAL OR DISQUALIFICATION Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has no alleged significant prior or on-going contract failures and has not had a contract terminated for cause. Kimley-Horn enters into thousands of contracts each year. An extremely small number of those contracts are concluded prior to the completion of the scope of services. Although the causes vary, the most common reason for early contract conclusion is client non- payment. We are not aware of any early conclusion due to Kimley-Horn default. One specific example of a recent early conclusion occurred when Kimley-Horn’s project manager accepted a position at another firm and the client determined it was in their best interest to follow the project manager to the new consulting firm. In that case, Kimley-Horn proactively worked with the client and departing employee to ease the transition and at all times held the needs of the client above all other considerations. We have found that acting professionally and protecting the needs of the client’s project leads to the best long term outcome for all parties. 2G.

LIST OF SERVICES Transportation Planning and Study Review Kimley-Horn has been working with agencies, cities, counties, and transportation planning organizations throughout California to improve their transportation network for decades. Established by transportation planners and traffic engineers, Kimley-Horn has become a leading consultant in the planning of regional and statewide transportation systems, corridor studies, transportation demand management programs, and transportation impact assessments. The firm has assisted numerous local and state agencies in developing transportation plans and programs for both short-term and long-range improvements. We are renowned for excellence in transportation planning and traffic engineering services. Our wide spectrum of experience is a perfect fit for the range in areas of need by the City. Our gamut of services includes corridor planning, traffic impact analyses, intelligent transportation system design and planning, congestion management, funding assistance, multimodal planning, feasibility studies, geographic information systems, systems management, environmental assessments, computer modeling, and public involvement. Kimley-Horn’s experience in all of multimodal planning, grade separations, traffic analysis, travel demand modeling, and roadway engineering gives us all of the tools needed to perform the type of feasibility and conceptual planning studies that the City may be performing under this on-call opportunity. Our experience in trip generation, traffic analysis, fair share analyses, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has made us the go-to firm for peer reviews and public agency support for the review of traffic analyses and environmental documentation. Within the realm of the transportation planning, Kimley-Horn is at the forefront in identifying and implementing creative and innovative solutions throughout the country. We have experience in evaluating and even implementing solutions such as diverging diamond interchanges, single-point urban interchanges, indirect left-turns, jughandles, and roundabouts. With a very constrained transportation network, these types of creative solutions are often the most effective and achievable in addressing significant congestion problems. Kimley-Horn’s transportation planning expertise extends to beyond autos. In order to address local and regional needs, a multimodal perspective is often needed. Through projects such as the Alpine Road Corridor Study, the Santa Cruz Avenue Bicycle Improvements Project, and the Page Mill/I-280 Interchange Improvement Project, among many others, we have shown the ability to balance the needs of all users within a constrained environment. We understand how context will often dictate whether multimodal solutions will include cycle tracks, buffered bike lanes, enhanced pedestrian crossings, transit-only lanes, bus pullouts, or other features. With an understanding of the planning, design, and implementation aspects of these elements, we can ensure that our transportation plans are feasible and implementable. Traffic Signal Design and Timing Signal timing and signal system design and operations are cornerstones of Kimley-Horn’s professional practice. Over the past five decades, we have completed signal system and timing studies for hundreds of projects. Kimley-Horn has participated in small projects with just a few traffic signals to extremely large projects with over 500 signals. Within the past five years in the California alone, we have completed signal timing and operations analysis for over 4,000 signals, making us a leader in signal timing and operations studies. Kimley-Horn’s excellent reputation in planning, analysis, design, and implementation of traffic signal control and management systems is well known throughout California. Firmwide, Kimley-Horn has been responsible for virtually every aspect of traffic systems, including operational feasibility, communication architecture, system design, software development, and implementation. In addition to evaluating and designing systems, our staff has developed timing plans for every system, involving single and multiple jurisdictions. Our in-house staff is proficient in the application of a broad range of traffic controllers and communications technologies, including the following: • 2070 controllers with D4 software • 2070 and TS2 controllers with Naztec software • Transuite signal system 2070 controllers with McCain and Caltrans software • Naztec Streetwise and ATMS signal systems • Traconex 390 controllers • 170 controllers with Caltrans • Local and system software 33City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 • 170 controllers with BI Tran local and system software • NextPhase signal system • 170 controllers with Wapati local and system software • Econolite controllers and systems • Icons signal system • TCT LMD 40 controllers • Eagle controllers and systems • TCT LS200 controllers Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Communications ITS technology is based on the understanding that transportation systems are more than infrastructure. At Kimley-Horn, we understand this and specialize in integrating the components of the total system—the road, the vehicle, and the traveler—to make getting around safer and more efficient. Intelligent Transportation Systems, including successful inter-agency program management, feasibility studies, and strategic plans are among Kimley-Horn’s key strengths in technology and traffic signal-related transportation work. Utilizing a pool of highly talented systems, software, and electrical engineers, these kinds of projects require a broad-scale vision and a depth of experience in assisting local, regional, and state agencies in identifying and prioritizing its transportation deficiencies, and in finding solutions to those transportation problems from a systems analysis perspective. Our engineers have designed thousands of miles of fiber-optic networks, prepared design plans for thousands of new traffic signal installations, and performed hundreds of technology assessments for clients to ensure that specific user needs are met with sound and available technologies. We carry our client’s vision one project at a time. Our resident electrical engineers also provide us with a unique view into the software component of the signal designs and, most often, enable us to provide connectivity and incorporate varying levels of intelligent transportation system (ITS) components. As a founding member of ITS America, our engineers are specialists in the planning, design, and implementation of modern transportation systems, and we have remained at the forefront of systems design and transportation technology for more than a quarter century. Vision is a necessary characteristic of those who work with ITS because systems are continually shaped by advancing technology. Roadway and Intersection Design Collectively, our engineers have been responsible for the design of more than 4,000 miles of roadway. Roadway design and planning is one of the mainstays of our firm’s professional practice. We are well equipped to address all related aspects of roadway design projects. Our team brings design experience across a wide variety of projects, including roadway widenings and geometric safety improvement projects, complete streets, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, storm drainage including green infrastructure, intersection geometrics, signing and striping plans, and surface treatment projects. Our team is highly knowledgeable in the application of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Our roadway team also has significant experience writing special provisions in Caltrans 2015 Standard Specifications format. In addition to writing technical specifications for multiple projects, we have helped municipalities convert their boilerplate (i.e., “front-end”) specifications into the 2015 format. We appreciate the importance of well-written project specifications, and understand what a difference this can make once a project moves into construction. Pedestrian/Bike Planning and Design Kimley-Horn has led numerous local trails, pedestrian, and bicycle master plans and developed comprehensive statewide plans and requirements for pedestrian/bicycle facilities, transit, rail, and fully integrated inter-modal systems. We have developed bicycle, pedestrian, and trail plans that emphasize interconnected networks of different types of facilities to serve multiple users, with each facility serving as a vital link between communities, resources, and destinations. Our diverse experience in trails, pedestrian, and bikeway planning and design also includes safe routes to school improvements and wayfinding. 34City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 Our subconsultant, Toole Design, brings unique expertise in developing statistical analyses and databases, managing large amounts of data to complete pedestrian and bicycle level of service analyses, and conducting travel demand forecasting to estimate latent demand for bicycling and walking. Their staff is at the forefront of evaluating and testing new ways to measure and quantify the impacts of multimodal improvements beyond conventional Vehicle Level of Service calculations. Their staff translates this quantitative analysis into concise deliverables that clearly convey complex information to clients and the public. They have developed tools to calculate Shared-Use Path Level of Service, Bicycle Level of Traffic Streets, and ActiveTrans Prioritization, and streamlining analysis into a step-by-step process that is flexible and based on local values. Toole Design brings direct staff expertise to all aspects of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure planning and design. They have extensive experience working on all scales, from corridors, neighborhoods, and trails to cities, regions, and states. Their staff have evaluated tens of thousands of miles of roadways to develop networks of streets that provide safer and more accessible options for bicyclists and pedestrians, and their planning process builds momentum and capacity among officials, advocates, and the general public to ensure plans and programs move toward implementation immediately. They understand that people walking and people biking have different needs, desires, and travel patterns, and that while planning for these modes is often closely connected, it is also important to view them individually. Toole Design’s plans reflect that understanding by providing tailored recommendations for each mode. Kimley-Horn stays current with the state of the practice in micro-simulation and capacity analysis software and can integrate output from forecasting models directly into simulation models for fast and cost-effective analysis of complex facilities and high-impact presentations. Our professionals have experience approaching a comprehensive analysis from both macroscopic (system planning) and microscopic perspectives (design issues and operation at specific locations). In addition to traditional tools, our staff understands that animated evaluation tools, such as CORSIM©, SimTraffic, and VISSIM, provide a more accurate picture of impacts. Using these tools, we can model a microscopic traffic network to determine the interactions between adjacent intersections and produce an animated, graphical display of traffic conditions. Kimley-Horn has expertise in the following forecasting and simulation platforms: • EMME2 • TransCAD • Cube • Traffix • CORSIM® • NetSim • Synchro and SimTraffic • VISSIM • VISTRO Traffic Data Collection Our team members are skilled at using manual and advanced technology to collect traffic data. Based on the need, our team can capture field data with basic methods, or through the use of portable GPS devices that allow digital photo linking capabilities and direct importation into GIS mapping and software such as ESRI ArcGIS. We take care to obtain accurate data, because this is the basis for a traffic study. Often some data (such as accident reports or recent traffic counts) can be obtained from existing sources. However, if new data is needed, Kimley-Horn and our subconsultants know the criteria for data collection, documentation, and compilation. Traffic Impact Analysis We have been involved in the development and application of Traffic Operations Analysis Reports (TOARs) and Traffic Impact Analyses (TIAs) since our inception. Our firm has conducted thousands of TOARs and TIAs for projects of all magnitudes and types. TOARs have been prepared for both highway and municipal roadway improvement projects. Our engineers and planners have reviewed TOARs and TIAs for local and regional agencies, developed impact analysis and fee systems, and trained public agency staff in traffic study reviews. We have also conducted transportation financing research for the federal government. Senate Bill 743 and the subsequent guidelines developed by the Office of Planning and Research is dramatically changing the paradigm of traffic impact analyses, particularly in transit- oriented and infill areas. Our travel demand modeling expertise, combined with our industry- leading understanding of infill development trip generation, and our extensive transit and multimodal experience represents the comprehensive skillset needed to adapt within the evolving transportation analysis realm. 35City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 Complete Streets Kimley-Horn is a leading complete streets planning and engineering firm. We have contributed to the movement through research and the development of best practices, including our role as one of the primary authors of ITE’s recommended practices: Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares. Kimley-Horn has remained active in the development of complete streets policies for communities of all sizes, and has worked alongside numerous state DOTs on methods to implement their statewide complete streets policies. In addition, our team of planners and engineers work in tandem to develop plans that apply best practices, such as the National Association of City Transportation Officials’ (NACTO) Urban Streets Design Guidelines. Our blend of transportation planning expertise balanced by our in-house design engineers has resulted in successful and award-winning Complete Street projects in California and across the United States. Traffic Calming Kimley-Horn is a national leader in the development and implementation of traffic calming, neighborhood transportation plans, and the context sensitive solution (CSS) design of pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Our team of roadway designers, traffic engineers, and planners know how to design roadways that accommodate a defined volume of through traffic, while serving as corridors for business and residential units and pedestrian and bicycle usage. All reasonable efforts are made to restore a balance between automobiles and pedestrians. Traffic Speed Surveys Kimley-Horn has extensive experience working with agencies to complete the review and update of their citywide speed limits. Speed zones are primarily established to protect the public from the unreasonable behavior of reckless, unreliable, or otherwise dangerous drivers. Speed limits are generally established at or near the 85th percentile speed, which is defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of traffic is moving. Speed limits established on this basis conform to the reasonable and safe speed that is the consensus of most drivers, and are not dependent on the subjective judgment of one or a few individuals. As a result, these surveys must be conducted every five years to coincide with changing roadway conditions and driver behavior. Engineering and traffic survey, as defined in Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and as established in the California MUTCD guidance, must consider the prevailing speeds (85th percentile), collision records, pedestrian and bicycle activity, roadway traffic, and roadside conditions, as well as established guidelines for advising motorists of roadway conditions or hazards that may not be readily apparent. Our speed survey experience, along with our other planning, engineering, and land use planning expertise means we can anticipate and resolve obstacles and complete these surveys efficiently. Traffic Handling Our staff has been responsible for providing construction staging and traffic control plans (TCP) as part of supporting transportation construction projects. Reconstruction and rehabilitation projects require traffic control planning to accommodate local and regional traffic, emergency access, city and franchise utility relocations, temporary and permanent traffic signals, access to adjacent homes and businesses, and subgrade and pavement construction. Before we begin preparing the actual TCP documents, the traffic team meets with the project stakeholders to solicit input regarding special coordination needs. During this meeting, the team presents the proposed construction sequence plan, which includes: • Travel lanes and construction area for each phase of construction • Temporary signing and striping, barricades, and other channelization devices • Narrative of the sequence of work including utility construction phasing • Vehicle and pedestrian detour routing during construction The traffic control plans also include typical cross sections showing lane widths, edge conditions, channelization, and proposed construction areas. 36City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 Parking Management Plans Kimley–Horn has considerable experience performing major parking studies for developments and downtown districts, parking deck designs, as well as access, circulation, and parking studies for planned communities, transit centers, shopping centers, universities, and other high activity multimodal centers. Kimley-Horn develops integrated parking strategies for mixed-use and transit-oriented downtowns and development projects and is often asked to research parking trends and innovations ranging from policies to parking management implementation plans. Roundabout Design The modern urban roundabout has become an increasingly popular alternative to conventionally configured and controlled intersections across the country. This growing popularity is due, in large part, to the roundabout’s ability, under certain circumstances, to create a safer, “greener,” and more operationally efficient intersection—often at a long-term cost that is significantly lower than the signalized, conventionally configured alternatives. Kimley-Horn recognized the potential of the roundabout as an intersection design solution years ago. Not only have we been diligent in learning everything that we can about the evolving art of roundabout design, but we also are committed to being active participants in roundabout interest groups, including local and nationally recognized roundabout seminars, webinars, and conferences. As for practical experience, over the past five years alone, Kimley-Horn has provided more than 50 clients with roundabout feasibility analysis, preliminary and final design, and concept and design peer review. Kimley-Horn has designed roundabouts ranging from single- lane, mini roundabouts (an aesthetically pleasing approach to neighborhood traffic calming) to single-lane roundabouts that address collector/local street intersection approach alignment challenges, to dual lane roundabouts located along arterials and freeway frontage roads. In Northern California, we are currently designing roundabouts for the Cities of Burlingame, Marina, Orinda, and the Town of San Anselmo. 37City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 The City of San Luis Obispo is looking for qualified engineering firms to provide on-call transportation planning and engineering and design services for a contract term of at least four years, in support of the City’s Capital Improvement Program, Development Review, Land Use, Circulation Element Implementation, and other various Transportation related tasks as needed. The City is requesting that selected firms have a depth and variety of technical and professional knowledge of transportation design, as well as sufficient and readily available staff resources to perform the required work at an acceptable level of quality and without delay. Kimley-Horn not only fully understands the City’s project and objectives, but also has the depth of resources, technical knowledge, and foolproof approach of tackling on-call assignments to meet the City’s needs. We have detailed our project approach, schedule and budget control methods, and QC/QA procedures below. These established processes have proven successful on comparable on-call contracts throughout the state. 3A. GENERAL APPROACH On-call contracts require a different approach from typical project-specific contracts. Each task assigned under an on-call contract needs an individualized approach that includes the various disciplines necessary to complete the assignment, as well as the designation of the key staff with the experience to successfully develop project-specific solutions. Kimley-Horn has a client-centered style of management oriented toward maintaining high levels of quality and communication. Adam Dankberg, P.E., will serve as Kimley-Horn’s on-call coordinator and will be City of San Luis Obispo’s main point of contact. He will work closely with City staff throughout the life of this contract, and will carefully evaluate, monitor, and report assignment progress to the City. Adam has extensive experience in managing on-call contracts. He is committed to maintaining a high level of communication with City staff to ensure that we understand the City’s objectives with each task order request and that we are meeting or exceeding the City’s needs. Upon receipt of a request for services as part of a task order within this on-call, Adam will identify a task leader and assemble a team of support staff and technical experts, including subconsultants, that fits the specific needs of the task order request. Adam will tap into the extensive Kimley-Horn resources throughout California to identify the most qualified project team and the depth of resources needed to meet the City’s schedule. If appropriate, the identified Task Leader will meet with the City Project Manager to gain a better understanding of the task request and tailor the workplan accordingly. Adam and the identified Task Lead will create a project scope, budget, timeline, and workplan that fulfills the City’s request. Through the duration of the project, the Task Lead will maintain ongoing communications with the City project manager. Communications will include updates on project schedule and budget, as well as identification of key risk areas and upcoming key decisions. Adam will maintain communication with the Task Lead and City staff throughout the duration of the Task Order to ensure that sufficient resources are dedicated and the City’s objectives are being met. Quality Performance Kimley-Horn is committed to quality for every task, deliverable, and service we provide. Recognizing the critical importance of careful quality control, we have developed a quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) manual that every project manager is required to use— helping to ensure we provide high-quality services that satisfy the City’s needs. Kimley-Horn as a company, our employees, and project teams share this commitment to providing quality, responsive service. 3. Work Program 38City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 Our QC/QA program will include the review of project documents and supporting data by our task managers and key staff who will direct individual tasks. Our QC/QA program will include, but not be limited to, the following procedures: • The On-Call Coordinator, Adam Dankberg, P.E., will be responsible for being thoroughly familiar with requirements and will be given the authority to direct the project team and call upon our corporate resources, as required, to satisfy the project needs. • QC/QA Lead, Frederik Venter, P.E., will be responsible for implementing Kimley-Horn’s QC/QA program on all Task Orders through this on-call. This includes identifying QC/QA staff most qualified to review specific work products associated with each task order and ensuring that those staff are available, and the time needed for their review is integrated into the project schedule. • An internal “kick-off” meeting will be held with key individuals assigned to the project to clearly define the scope of services, set sub-task responsibilities, and establish the schedule. • Project meetings and decisions will be documented by a “paper trail.” All documents will be supported by appropriate data that will clearly show the choices evaluated and the basis for our recommendations. • Supporting calculations, text, or data used to develop a document will be signed and dated by the individual involved when the services are performed. Also, telephone conversations and meetings that include or affect a project decision will be documented. • Team network review will be undertaken. Team network quality control is the day- to-day peer review that is undertaken by the project team. Documents, analyses, letters, etc., are reviewed by a team member other than the individual preparing the documents and analyses. Review of significant analyses and documents are provided by the task manager for each task. The individual doing the checking will sign and date the documents and prepare a record of the findings. The findings will be resolved by the originator of the document and checked again until corrected. Quality control review comments will be maintained in a quality assurance file. This network review will be enhanced by weekly or bi-monthly full team meetings with the task manager. Staff and Project Requirements The Kimley-Horn team has a number of tools for ensuring we have sufficient staff resources available to produce your projects on time and within budget. Our workload planning is a two-step process that looks at short-term and long-term workload. Every week, each Kimley-Horn office meets to discuss workload for the following week and determine deliverables, staffing needs, and adjust staff hours accordingly. After each office meets, representatives from each office attend a conference call to determine if staff reallocation (“shifts”) are needed to meet deadlines. Since we have twelve offices in California, we can easily shift staff between offices and assign the most qualified staff to a particular project. If needed, we also have the ability to shift staff from throughout California and across the country as needed to work on larger or more complex projects. Kimley-Horn’s long-term workload planning is called “cast-aheads.” Our cast-ahead forecast summarizes every work plan for all Kimley- Horn projects and provides an accurate projection of staffing needs and overloads with detailed information for the upcoming month, and summary information for the next six months. Kimley-Horn’s production managers use this tool to facilitate the shifting and balancing of work across our entire firm. After reviewing our current cast-aheads, we can assure you that the Kimley-Horn staff members selected for this team are available to immediately serve you and are in an excellent position to handle the workload required to complete any project from this on-call. The cast-ahead process provides the following benefits: • Enables us to better serve our clients and meet their deadlines • Assigns specialists to tackle more complex project issues • Facilitates teamwork through a one-profit center approach • Keeps our people productive and our firm stable KIMLEY-HORN QUALITY CONTROL IS ACHIEVED Through adequate planning, coordination, supervision and technical direction CONTROLLED By assigning a manager to and procedures VERIFIED Through independent reviews SECURED Through careful surveillance of work activities by parties not involved in the initial efforts 39City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 3B.

We worked with the City of San Ramon on multiple other projects outside of the on-call, including signal and ITS design, civil design, and enhanced pedestrian crossing design. 40City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 ON-CALL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES, SUNNYVALE, CA Kimley-Horn provided on-call and other traffic engineering services to the City of Sunnyvale, including preparation of transportation impact analysis (TIA) and other transportation planning-related studies. Specific projects completed under this on-call services contract include: • Sunnyvale Athletic Club TIA • Civic Center TIA • 1100 Mathilda Ave TIA • King’s Academy TIA • Mercury Drive TIA • Yahoo Crosswalk Study • 803-833 W. El Camino Real TOA • Fair Oaks Avenue and Wolfe Road Interconnect System • 1 AMD Place TIA • 1 AMD Place Parking Study • 1111 Lockheed Martin EIR • 725 Fair Oaks Ave TIA • 777 Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road EIR • Summit School TIA • Sunnyvale SMART Station EIR • Mary Ave Extension EIR • 1008 El Camino Real TOA Other Sunnyvale projects: Wolfe Road Corridor Traffic Improvement Study Kimley-Horn was retained by the City of Sunnyvale to prepare a corridor improvement study for Wolfe Road between El Camino Real and Homestead Road. This segment of Wolfe Road is one of the more heavily-trafficked transportation corridors in the City of Sunnyvale, with significant vehicular congestion and delays during peak commute periods. The objective of the corridor improvement study was to evaluate feasible operational and geometric improvements that would reduce congestion and improve multimodal circulation and safety along the corridor. Enhancing the safety and comfort of the existing bicycle lanes is a critical aspect of the study. Kimley-Horn analyzed the effectiveness of three distinct improvement concepts with near- and long-term conditions. Corridor improvement concepts were developed to evaluate engineering feasibility and costs. Through close coordination with City staff, the local community, and other stakeholders, the various benefits and challenges associated with each alternative were carefully evaluated and a final recommended improvement concept was identified. Kimley-Horn conducted two interactive public workshops to solicit public input and obtain feedback on the proposed alternatives. Maude Avenue Roadway Allocation Study and Pilot Project Design and Implementation Kimley-Horn completed a traffic and engineering study for the City of Sunnyvale on Maude Avenue, a heavily utilized bike corridor in the heart of Sunnyvale. The existing corridor experiences heavy bicycle traffic but does not have striped bike lanes. The study evaluated the feasibility of replacing either on-street parking or a two-way left-turn lane with bike lanes. The analysis consisted of a traffic and parking analysis to understand the ramifications of either alternative and a safety evaluation of existing and proposed conditions. The project also included development of design concepts for the implementation of the bike lane in either scenario. Kimley-Horn prepared a final report that evaluated the options and provided a recommended solution based on the findings of the analysis and adopted City plans and policies. Kimley-Horn was subsequently retained by the City of Sunnyvale to complete outreach efforts associated with this project, including a community meeting and presentations to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and City Council. After conclusion of the analysis study and outreach, Kimley-Horn designed and oversaw construction of a pilot project which implemented the bicycle facility on approximately half of the corridor. 41City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 ON-CALL TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING, SANTA CLARITA, CA Kimley-Horn has served as the City of Santa Clarita’s preferred transportation engineer for a number of years. Projects completed for the City include ITS Phase II & IIA, Phase III, Phase IV, Phase V, and Phase VII, a study of timing parameters at all 186 signals throughout the City, a detailed analysis of left-turn yellow timing throughout the City, and traffic analysis of a major proposed roadway extension. • Phase II and IIA included the design of a web-based traveler information system, CCTV cameras, Changeable Message Signs (CMS), and System Detection. • Phase III resynchronized some major corridors in the area and built a redundant fiber-optic communication system by interconnect gap closure, along specific routes, that ensure the ITMS would continue to function without any disruption—even during times when there is a break in one segment of the fiber-optic cable link. • Phase IV improved mobility and operation on some major corridors in the project area through signal synchronization, as well as additional fiber-gap closure. • Phase V was built on the existing infrastructure, including improving regional arterial traffic flows, by deploying an adaptive system to enhance operations and respond to real-time traveler demands in the City. This project also deployed automated turning movement count stations by installing state of the art technology along select corridors to allow for future expansion via monitoring and controlling individual intersections to help improve the efficiency of the Transparity adaptive system. • Phase VII involves a bicycle detection system at 12 locations to meet the City’s needs for bicycle use and encourage other modes of non-motorized transportation. Fiber-optic communication and a gap closure along Soledad Canyon Road, Sierra Highway, and Haskell Canyon Road were also part of the services provided. Other Santa Clarita projects: Yellow Change Interval Study Kimley-Horn assisted the City of Santa Clarita in developing a citywide policy to govern the establishment of yellow change intervals for protected left-turn movements at signalized intersections. The 2014 CA MUTCD recommended the use of actual speed measurements in the establishment of yellow change intervals, but left the process of determining the yellow times for left-turn movements up to an “engineering study”. The ground-breaking analysis by Kimley-Horn included a detailed analysis of left-turn approach speeds, intersection geometrics, and dilemma zones. The goal was to develop a policy that would result in a safe, but not overly conservative amount of yellow time. Kimley-Horn performed speed measurements at approximately forty left-turn movements in the City, capturing a wide variety of intersection configurations. From those measurements, field observations, and an aggregation of recent research, Kimley-Horn identified patterns in vehicle speeds when completing left-turn movements at geometrically diverse intersections. From those patterns, Kimley-Horn developed a yellow change interval policy that would reduce or eliminate the dilemma zone at signalized intersections throughout the City. The City subsequently retained Kimley-Horn to calculate yellow times, minimum green times, bicycle minimums, and all-red times for all movements at all 186 signalized intersections in the City. This project was selected as the ITE Southern Section Project of the Year and received the APWA Los Angeles Chapter Project of the Year. Dynamic Lane – Soledad Canyon Road at Sierra Highway Kimley-Horn assisted the City of Santa Clarita in the analysis and design of a dynamic travel lane on Soledad Canyon Road at Sierra Highway. The intersection currently has a dedicated right-turn lane. However, during certain times of day, through volume queuing far exceeds queuing for the right-turn movement. In order to reduce delay and congestion, the City wanted to examine the opportunity to change the lane assignment between a right-turn and a shared through/right-turn movement. Kimley-Horn performed a traffic analysis to identify the optimum time periods for each type of operation of the lane. Kimley-Horn then prepared conceptual design plans to identify the signage and communications required to safely and effectively operate such a configuration. This truly innovative project, designed to maximize the capacity of the transportation network, includes a series of blankout and static signs connected to the signal controller to notify drivers of the appropriate lane to utilize and what movements are allowed. Kimley-Horn also prepared plans and cut-sheets for the blankout signs and operation of the dynamic lane system. PROPOSAL FOR Design of Traffic Signal Communication System Upgrade Project PHASE I City of Ventura | TCIT96004.19 14 Santa Clarita ITS Phases I, II, IIA, III, IV, V, VII, Santa Clarita, CA Project Date: August 2006 – Ongoing Kimley-Horn has been updating the ITS system throughout Santa Clarita over the past 12 years. Phase I developed an Intelligent Transportation Management Systems (ITMS) and Communications System Master Plan. This project summarized the alternatives available to the City for the design and layout of the new ITMS and Communications System and recommended an ultimate system for implementation by the City. Phase II and IIA were completed in 2008 and included the design of a web- based traveler information system, CCTV cameras, Changeable Message Signs (CMS), and System Detection. Phase III, funded with Metro Call for Projects dollars, resynchronized some major corridors in the area and built a redundant fiber-optic communication system by interconnect gap closure, along specific routes, that ensure the ITMS would continue to function without any disruption—even during times when there is a break in one segment of the fiber-optic cable link. This project was fully integrated into the existing ITS infrastructure in 2013. Phase IV improved mobility and operation on some major corridors in the project area through signal synchronization, as well as additional fiber-gap closure. The Transparity adaptive system was selected and deployed on Rye Canyon/Copper Hill, Whites Canyon/Plum Canyon, and Seco Canyon Road to better respond to the traffic—and to provide more efficient service to the public—along those routes. The adaptive system included the integration into the City’s existing signal system at the Transportation Management Center (TMC) and the cost to upgrade controllers with the appropriate firmware. The traveler information website is more robust and useful to the general public with the addition of the proposed system detection on Newhall Ranch Road/Golden Valley Road, Rye Canyon Road/Copper Hill Road, Seco Canyon Road, and Plum Canyon Road/ Whites Canyon Road. The additional detection was utilized to provide arterial travel times. This feature was integrated with the City’s traveler information website. The project followed the Regional ITS Architecture and used current standards and protocols. Phase V was built on the existing infrastructure, including improving regional arterial traffic flows, by deploying an adaptive system to enhance operations and respond to real-time traveler demands in the City. The Transparity adaptive system will be better able to respond to the varying peaks and irregular travel demands. The Transparity adaptive system includes the integration into the City’s existing signal system at the TMC and the cost to upgrade controllers with the appropriate firmware. The Transparity adaptive system will expand the City’s ability to actively manage traffic and to add additional routes to the City’s real-time traveler information website. In addition, this project also proposes to deploy automated turning movement count stations by installing state of the art technology along select corridors to allow for future expansion via monitoring and controlling individual intersections to help improve the efficiency of the Transparity adaptive system. The automated traffic counters with detection capabilities will be used in areas near activity centers and with variable traffic flows. The project will provide a more robust and reliable transportation system with reduced delays, fewer incidents, and increased driver satisfaction. Relevant Project Highlights • Citywide fiber-optic upgrade • Multi-phase ITS improvements • McCain controller upgrades • Transparity ATMS deployment • CCTV cameras • Over 160 intersections • Utilized existing conduit • TMC upgrade • Citywide signal timing • Caltrans District 7 coordination 5 SIERRA HWYSOLEDAD CANYON RD SAN D CANYON RDLYONS AV NEWHALL RANCH RD RAILROAD AV VALENCI A BLV D GOLDEN VA L L E Y R D SIERRA HWY T HE OLD R D NE W H A L L A VMC B E A N P K WY MAGIC MOUNT A I N PKWY SECO CANYON RDLITTLE TUJUNGA RD PICO CANYON RD MA I N S TSTEVENSON RANCH PKW Y P L A C E R IT A CA NY O N WIL E Y CANYONWHITES CANYON VALLEYPRINCE S S A PLUM CANYO N R Y E C A N Y O NC ALGROVE O R C H A R D V I L LAGED OCKWEILERROCKWELL CANYONSHADOW PINESTO U R N A M E N T HENRY M A Y O P R INCESSA THE O L DMCBEAN PKWYCOPPE R HI L L NEWHALL RANCH RD B O U Q U E T C A N Y O N RDSOLEDAD CA N Y O N R D DECORO DRIVE A V E S C O T T AVE STA N FO RD1 2 1 10 2 9 1 1 1 2 1334 4 5 5 6 23 4 6 7 8 1 2 2 1 1 12 2 3 4 43 5 1 2 2 1 6 2 1 3 4 1 2 3 5 4 Existing Conduit with Existing Fiber Optic (Designed by Kimley-Horn; Phases 2-4) Existing Conduit with Existing Fiber Optic Existing Conduit & Copper County/Caltrans Maintained Segment Radio/Wireless Previously Funded Adaptive System Corridors designed by Kimley-Horn Proposed Adaptive System Corridors LEGEND Real Time Automated Turning Movement Count Stations Location (51 Intersections): Adaptive Traffic Signal System and Citywide Performance Measurement System (107 Intersections): 1.

Tasks under this on-call contract include traffic counts, traffic studies and modeling, signal and stop warrants, signal design, signing and striping plan review, access management review, development standards conformance review, development cost share analysis, interagency coordination, reporting and presentations, preliminary engineering, final design PS&E, and public bidding and construction phase services. ON-CALL TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING, SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA Kimley-Horn has provided on-call traffic engineering and transportation planning services to the County of San Mateo since 2015. We have received several assignments through this effort and were recently selected in 2018 for a renewal of this contract. Work performed includes traffic signal timing, traffic signal timing sheet standardization and development, and multiple corridor studies. San Mateo County projects: Santa Cruz Avenue Bicycle Improvements Alternatives Analysis Kimley-Horn is currently preparing a study which developed a set of concept alternatives to provide bicycle lanes on Santa Cruz Avenue in unincorporated San Mateo County. Concepts were developed while balancing the need for improved multimodal circulation with the concerns of the community regarding pedestrian safety and cut-through vehicle traffic. Kimley-Horn developed a VISSIM model to evaluate multimodal traffic conditions and visualize improvements for the public. The project has included several rounds of public outreach to engage the public, gather feedback on improvements, and obtain buy-in on concepts. Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Technical Assistance Program, San Mateo, CA As part of the San Mateo County Safe Routes to School Program, Kimley-Horn partnered with the San Mateo County Office of Education, the San Mateo Foster City School District, and the City of San Mateo to complete walking and bicycling audits as well as Suggested School Route Maps in the City of San Mateo. Walking and bicycling audits were completed for 10 elementary and middle schools and Suggested Route Maps were completed for these same 10 schools. The local school staff and/or students and parents participated throughout to identify the daily experience of walking and biking to school and obstacles and issues related to traveling to and from each school campus. These experiences were invaluable to the process and helped make each project document a successful plan for each school. Alpine Road Traffic Improvement Study, San Mateo County, CA Kimley-Horn prepared a multimodal corridor study of Alpine Road for the County of San Mateo. The congested roadway provides a critical connection between Portola Valley, I-280, Menlo Park, and the Stanford campus. The project evaluated and propose a range of improvements to improve bicycle connectivity, improve safety for all users, and support multimodal connectivity for the residents along the corridor. The study identified a number of improvements to improve the safety and operations of the I-280 interchange, including improved off-street trail, ramp modifications to reduce vehicle speeds, and new intersection control to reduce queue spillbacks. The project included identification of pedestrian and bicycle crossing treatments to improve the accessibility and safety of the Alpine Trail. Kimley-Horn used VISSIM to prepare a micro-simulation analysis of the corridor in order to evaluate baseline conditions and the improvement scenarios. Kimley-Horn prepared conceptual drawings and cost estimates for each of the proposed improvements. The project included several rounds of public outreach to the heavily engaged local communities and coordination with Caltrans and adjacent cities. 43City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 SIGNAL EVALUATION STUDY AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING PLANS FOR SANTA ROSA ROAD, VENTURA COUNTY, CA Kimley-Horn completed a Signal Evaluation Study and developed new coordinated plans for eight intersections along Santa Rosa Road in unincorporated Ventura County. Santa Rosa Road is a heavily traveled roadway connecting Moorpark and Camarillo, with bi-directional travel patterns in both peak periods. It also provides residential access and serves Santa Rosa Technology Magnet School. The signal evaluation study identified opportunities for improving signal operations and identified required updates to timing parameters to comply with current MUTCD requirements. Kimley-Horn developed a new Synchro and SimTraffic model to simulate the corridor and develop new coordinated timing plans for the AM and PM peak periods. The new timing plans achieved reductions in vehicle stopped time of greater than 35 percent in both directions in both peak periods. PROGRAM FOR ARTERIAL SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION (PASS), 2010 TO PRESENT, BAY AREA, CA Since 2010, Kimley-Horn has worked with the MTC and Caltrans to provide traffic signal timing and operations services to various agencies in the Bay Area under the Program for Arterial Signal Synchronization (PASS). Our services include review of base signal timings and actuated settings, including clearance intervals, review of collision history and timing parameters to help reduce collisions, and development of signal coordination plans for the AM, midday, and PM peak periods. In addition, the projects include development of incident management plans, development of transit signal priority (TSP) timing, development of traffic responsive timing, and transit evaluation. Kimley-Horn has received the highest number of traffic signals of any other consultant over the last three-year cycle of the program, which is a testament to our exceptional client service and our ability to deliver. SR-68 SCENIC HIGHWAY PLAN STUDY, MONTEREY AND SALINAS COUNTIES, CA Funded by a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Planning grant, Kimley-Horn developed a comprehensive analysis of the SR-68 corridor for the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC). Both existing and future conditions were analyzed along 15 miles of corridor (Monterey to Salinas). Using performance metrics from the Smart Mobility Framework combined with an aggressive public outreach effort, three Corridor Concepts were developed for further analysis. The development of the Corridor Concepts was informed by various multimodal analyses, including intersection control evaluations (ICE) of eleven corridor intersections that were determined, through benefit-cost analysis, the most cost-effective control type for a given intersection. A VISSIM micro-simulation model was developed and validated to analyze each for the Corridor Concepts under future year conditions. The micro-simulation results were combined with the static ICE and safety analysis (HSM Predictive Method) results and applied to the 2016 Caltrans Cal/BC model parameters to yield cost-related benefits for each Corridor Concept. These benefits were then combined with the planning level cost opinions of each Corridor Concept to yield a holistic benefit-cost ratio for each concept. Based on this quantitative return-on-investment analysis as well as other qualitative assessments (policy consistency, plan consistency, ancillary benefits, environmental, and social equity), a Preferred Corridor Concept; a roundabout corridor, was selected. Several additional micro-simulation (what if) analyses were performed on the Preferred Corridor Concept to test the operational benefit of access controls and the operational implications of a major pending future development within the corridor. Phasing recommendations of the various capital improvements that make up the Preferred Corridor Concept were documented. The Preferred Corridor Concept also included capital improvements to facilitate safe passage of wildlife that must routinely cross SR-68. The study was adopted by the TAMC Board in August of 2017. 44City of San Luis Obispo | TRTP85009.19 ON-CALL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, MARINA, CA Kimley-Horn was recently selected by the City of Marina to provide on-call traffic engineering and transportation services to facilitate the implementation of the City’s capital improvement program and review of development projects.

Work Program Michael Baker is prepared to serve as a consultant to City staff to provide efficient and cost-effective ways of delivering transportation planning and engineering services. A. Approach and Processes The Work Plan is summarized below. In short, we will: Convene a kickoff meeting and deliver a Project Management Plan to the City that includes the final scope of work and project schedule. Acquire sufficient information to begin the process. That could involve a project survey, gathering traffic counts, reviewing development plans, etc. Refine preliminary design early to inform the environmental documentation process. Consult frequently with the City of San Luis Obispo. Select design alternatives and complete cost estimate. Begin final design activities. Deliver high quality 30%, 60%, 90%, and Final PS&E if it’s a design project. Michael Baker‘s management approach has been proven to be effective in meeting or exceeding client goals for specific assigned tasks on or ahead of schedule and within or below budget. With an effective management approach and continuous close coordination with the City staff and our project team, each task order should be straightforward with a logical progression through the various work tasks. Continuous close coordination, communication, and a focused project development process are the keys to successful completion of each assignment. Understanding Agency Objectives | Prior to initiating any efforts, a thorough understanding of the objectives for the various stakeholder agencies is essential in order to obtain the successful design, documentation and timely approval of projects. Michael Baker will work closely with the various agencies involved to identify specific goals, objectives, and critical issues. This initial project scoping and understanding of the various agencies needs is critical, since the purpose, schedule, and potential funding sources can vary significantly from project to project. Project Scoping | A critical key to ensuring that an effective project schedule can be developed and maintained is preparing a comprehensive scope of work that clearly identifies the various project tasks and the deliverables expected from those tasks. Michael Baker develops a very detailed scope of work in the sequence of the typical design process and identifies assumptions that are critical for understanding the intent of the project delivery process. Development of such a comprehensive scope of work minimizes the chances of miscommunication or misdirection between all project team members, including client/consultant, consultant/subconsultant, and amongst the various functional leaders for the consultant. Proposal for City of San Luis Obispo – On-Call Services 15 Critical Path Method Scheduling | Michael Baker understands the importance of a project schedule as a key communication tool of project management. Several key elements maximize the effectiveness of a project schedule: Information should be easily communicated and understood. Commitment is obtained from each functional design leader and the project team. Inter-relationship of tasks is shown, including internal quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) and agency review periods. The schedule should be easy and flexible to update. Office-wide correlations of staffing and project commitments are considered. Michael Baker uses Microsoft Project scheduling software to regularly monitor project progress and define critical path tasks. As the task order progresses, if any schedule changes are anticipated, we will promptly notify the City and submit an updated detailed project schedule. Project Initiation | Following agreement of the scope of work and schedule, Michael Baker initiates and maintains project momentum by following the established schedule milestones. Project meetings are scheduled and documented on a regular basis. Meeting documentation includes preparation of an agenda to provide structure for the participants. Decisions regarding items of discussion and critical issues requiring resolution are documented in meeting minutes that become part of the project file. Basis of Design | A thorough understanding of the City’s design standards is required to design a successful project. Michael Baker works with other affected agencies, which include utility companies and other regulatory agencies, to establish design criteria at the outset of a project that will serve as the basis of design. Specific critical elements will be considered at the beginning of a project to develop a comprehensive work plan. Critical Issues | Every project involves matters that require discussion and agreement between the affected parties. Michael Baker works to foster a partnership between all members of the project team to achieve “buy-in” so that the stakeholder expectations are met. Early identification, resolution, and documentation of critical issues is imperative to keeping each task order assignment on schedule and within budget. Preliminary Design | To build a solid foundation of accurate scheduling, budgeting, and funding of subsequent phases of project development, a thorough preliminary evaluation and comprehensive engineering analysis are essential. Michael Baker conducts and documents field reviews when we initially scope a project and strongly encourages that at least one project team meeting is held in the field to provide a better understanding of project issues for all members of the project team. Contract Administration | Control of project costs and unnecessary design changes is an important element of contract administration. We are committed to informing the City as soon as possible of any potential or proposed design revisions that will affect the established budget. Michael Baker’s adherence to the original scope of work and initial construction cost budget is achieved through timely, open/honest and continuous communications with City staff. Budget Control | Frequent monitoring and early identification of any design change affecting project costs will control engineering costs. This monitoring is accomplished through Michael Baker's Work Breakdown Structure and construction costs will be evaluated at each milestone submittal to assure the City that the project can be built within budget. 16 Proposal for City of San Luis Obispo – On-Call Services Construction costs will be controlled with a cost-trending technique, which uses as a starting baseline the original construction cost estimate prepared for the project. This cost estimate will then serve as the final baseline upon which any changes are measured. For all items that potentially may increase the baseline cost, careful analysis of lower-cost options will be undertaken. These techniques will keep the baseline construction estimate up to date and will allow members of the project team to monitor the cost impacts of their decisions. Project Progress and Design Review Meetings | On a monthly or as-needed basis, Michael Baker will attend and chair project team meetings with the City and other involved agencies. The purpose of these meetings will be to discuss the project objectives, review schedule and work progress to date, resolve critical issues promptly, address budget issues and concerns, and discuss other related items. This meeting format is used effectively by Michael Baker through the use of action item matrices (which identify issues, responsible parties, and deadlines) and detailed, timely meeting minutes. There are often several ways to implement a project and Michael Baker has found that small meetings, conducted in workshop settings, encourages dialogue and creativity more easily than larger regular project team meetings. This proactive approach avoids costly surprises when preparing the final PS&E package. Other design review meetings are held at key points throughout the development of PS&E to review specific design features, such as stage construction, traffic handling, and drainage alignments, as well as plan format and presentation issues. Coordination and Communication with Public Agencies | Michael Baker’s proactive, spirited approach to building positive team relationships while maintaining the mutual respect of all parties has been paramount to our success. Maintaining open lines of communication and having the entire project team commit to fostering cooperative teamwork will result in the resolution of critical issues in a timely manner. Value Analysis | Value analysis will be performed to minimize the life-cycle cost of the project and its elements; suggest operational improvements; identify construction sequence elements; highlight potential problems early; evaluate constructability; and provide a better end product. The value analysis process will be an integral part of the project during formulation and development of the geometric approval drawings. Progress Reports | Michael Baker will provide monthly progress reports for the duration of the design activities. Michael Baker will submit a progress report summarizing all work progress and billings to date. The report will also address potential problems that may delay achieving the project milestones and recommend how to avert such problems. Project Delivery and Coordination | Design of a project may bring forth a variety of issues that could require interface with jurisdictional agencies and other affected entities. Michael Baker is proud of its recent accomplishments in maintaining and accelerating project delivery in partnership with our agency team members. Michael Baker's management approach has been tested by numerous agencies. B.

Proposal for City of San Luis Obispo – On-Call Services 17 C. Quality Control/Quality Assurance The Michael Baker team’s QA/QC program is a continuous process used not just at project milestones but also on a daily basis, as work flows from desk to desk, discipline to discipline, and consultant to client. Michael Baker utilizes this QC/QA program on each and every project undertaken to ensure that a high-quality product is delivered on schedule and within budget. Our approach ensures that deliverables are free of errors in accordance with the standard of care in the industry. Michael Baker’s key organizational elements for QC/QA are adaptable to any project. Michael Baker has developed project-specific QC/QA plans for other clients such as Caltrans and other state and local agencies. Recognizing the design consultant's responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the plans and other design documents, Michael Baker is dedicated to its established program of strict QA/QC. This program assigns specific individuals to and defines the requirements for quality control activities. This program consists of the following key elements: Quality Control Key Elements Michael Baker’s QC/QA process consists of the following six steps, each of which is critical to ensuing that task orders are delivered on time and within budget. Quality Control Key Elements Project Manager Supported by Permanent Design Teams | Michael Baker assigns staff to discipline leaders on a permanent basis rather than on a project-by-project or “pool” basis. This is a crucial first step in delivering a high-quality project, as quality truly suffers when a project does not maintain staff and leadership continuity. Michael Baker has an outstanding record of maintaining design team leaders and design staff throughout our projects. Design Discipline Scope of Work/Responsibilities | This component of our QA/QC program ensures “buy-in” from Michael Baker’s discipline leaders on the scope of work, project responsibilities, schedule, and budget. Discipline leaders are involved throughout the development of the scope of work, schedule, and budget during the proposal process. Internal kickoff meetings are then held to review scope, schedule, and budget to ensure that the project gets started on the right path. This process improves accountability for each leader and reinforces the detailed elements of the scope of work that must be adhered to in order to maintain a high-quality project approach. Design Criteria Establishment | Critical to the success of any project is developing a clear understanding of design criteria, guidelines and standards up-front that will be used for the project. Depending on the complexity of the project, Michael Baker develops Basis of Design Reports, or other less involved documentation for non-complex projects, that clearly identify key design criteria for a project and obtain concurrence from the appropriate agency personnel. In addition, Michael Baker and our 18 Proposal for City of San Luis Obispo – On-Call Services key discipline leaders have a long history of performing similar work; thus our team is intimately familiar with all aspects of the project development process, including design standards and design manuals for roadway, rail, traffic and drainage, and preparation of specifications and bid documents. “Over the Shoulder” Reviews | Michael Baker’s project development process is a dynamic, interactive process between the project manager, discipline leaders, and engineering design staff. Regular “over the shoulder” reviews occur throughout the design process through internal discussions in the engineering staff’s work areas at various points during plan preparation. This approach maintains discipline leadership involvement throughout design and avoids misdirection and redesign efforts. In-House Project Team Meetings/Coordination | The project manager will hold regular in-house project team meetings with design discipline leaders to coordinate project interface issues and ensure that a “cause and effect” analysis of design decisions that involve multiple design disciplines is completed. In addition, these meetings are utilized to discuss staffing needs and project schedule and budget status. These in-house meetings serve as a forum for regular communication within the entire Michael Baker team, which fosters development of a cohesive teamwork environment and builds accountability within the project team. Project Communication/Documentation | One critical element for a quality project is to carefully document project decisions and direction, and the general project development history. Preparation of clear, concise letters, phone logs, meeting minutes, and action item resolutions avoid costly redirection during design that could also have an impact on the project schedule. In addition, Michael Baker prepares detailed “Response to Comment” letters for all agency milestones submittal review comments that show both the comment itself and a complete response to each comment. Milestone Submittal Reviews | All submittals to the City will meet the project schedule agreed to with the City and will comply with the standards and procedures established by the City and other approving agencies for development of PS&E. Each deliverable item will be developed, checked, revised, and verified through a continuous process prior to submittal. The project manager, other design discipline leaders, and the assigned quality control reviewer will perform a complete quality control review of the final PS&E at each milestone. Constructability Reviews | Staff from Michael Baker's Construction Management department will be included on an independent review team for constructability reviews. The experience of these staff members will be used in the project design to identify design and construction methods that could expedite construction, decrease construction costs, and improve traffic handling during construction. The constructability review will facilitate identification and correction of items that may have caused difficulty in other similar construction projects. Utility Location Cross Check | A composite plot of all underground utility and drainage facilities will be developed to cross check horizontal and vertical clearances between facilities using available record drawings, new pothole data to be obtained, and final plans for new and/or relocated underground facilities.

TJKM had a contract for a parking study terminated by the City of San Carlos. This was TJKM’s only contract termination in its 45 years history. The project was awarded to TJKM during late 2014 as a follow up to an earlier parking study project. The TJKM contract manager for the study, who had also completed the earlier study kept on missing the deadlines and eventually left TJKM in early 2015 and joined other organization. The San Carlos project was then transferred to a new TJKM project manager, along with other projects from the departed contract manager. During this transition period, the new TJKM project manager was unable to meet the San Carlos deadlines. The deliverable deadline was delayed by two weeks, as agreed with City of San Carlos during a Project Status meeting with City staff. The letter of termination was sent without advance warning. By that time, delivery of the deliverable was late by two months, and TJKM chose not to contest the termination. Executed on April 16, 2019 at Pleasanton, CA under penalty of perjury of the laws of the State of California, that the foregoing is true and correct. Signature of Authorized Consultant Representative Qualifications Qualifications Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 8 QUALIFICATIONS TKJM OVERVIEW TJKM Transportation Consultants (TJKM) founded in 1974, is a traffic engineering and transportation planning, firm that services Northern and Central California. TJKM is a C Corporation that currently has a staff of 35 employees with offices in Pleasanton, San Jose, Fresno, Sacramento, and Santa Rosa. For 45 years, more than 3,500 satisfied clients have entrusted TJKM with their critical work. We serve a full-range of clients, including municipalities, congestion management agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, transportation agencies, private developers, other consulting firms, and attorneys. TJKM has been involved in more than 8,000 transportation projects throughout California, and averages about 240 new projects each year. TJKM’s primary service categories include multimodal studies, traffic engineering design (including Plan, Specifications, & Estimate (PS&E)), transportation planning, traffic operations, corridor studies, traffic analysis, traffic calming, pedestrian and bicycle studies, traffic safety, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Our motivation comes from satisfying clients’ objectives and improving communities. TJKM has a strong roster of both public and private sector clients and continually builds upon this base. Our project managers, engineers, and planners have “hands on” experience and understand the latest requirements, technologies, trends, and standards. Our experience with local agency processes keeps projects moving faster; and know-how from thousands of engagements helps us complete projects on time and within budget. TJKM Transportation Consultants is a disadvantaged and small business enterprise, DBE #40772 and SBE #38780. Expertise Multimodal Planning & Design TJKM Transportation Consultants has prepared preliminary designs and traffic operations studies for transportation projects that enhance the accessibility and safe accommodation of bicycle, pedestrian, and public transportation modes. These projects are consistent with the objective of Complete Streets, which the National Complete Streets Coalition defines as facilities that “are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users.” Our multimodal planning and design studies focus on transportation facility design, and also traffic operations analysis in support of environmental documentation meeting California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) standards. Multimodal design alternatives are typically prepared and reviewed with City staff and community members in public forums. To aid in the decision making process, TJKM typically develops alternative screening criteria encompassing a variety of factors including corridor transit stop provision; minimum and optimal vehicle lane, bicycle lane, and sidewalk widths; roadway geometry; traffic calming and pedestrian crossing strategies; collision history; travel speed (possible reduction); motor vehicle traffic volumes, queuing, and delay; and parking supply and demand (both on and off-street). While we develop these solutions, we are keenly aware of the special needs of persons with disabilities and compliance with state and federal ADA regulations. The end result is typically a prioritized list of feasible alternatives for local agency selection. Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 9 Traffic & Multimodal Operations In order to address operating conditions on arterials that perform either undesirably or inefficiently, TJKM often performs operational studies to develop measures that will improve traffic flow. Generally, these traffic operations are evaluated through a LOS process. Public agencies set thresholds for acceptable traffic conditions and if the actual or predicted conditions are lower, measures must be taken to bring them within the agency’s guidelines. TJKM’s services include data collection. Many of our engineers and technicians collect field data, including turning movement and volume counts. Data collected then is input into a program, such as TRAFFIX or Synchro, and analyzed to determine if the amount of traffic within the study area is acceptable to that governing agency’s standards. By personally observing traffic conditions, an engineer or project manager can then determine some of the more effective strategies that will actually work to improve operations rather than those that just sound good on paper. LOS analysis is a common type of study for TJKM, and we can perform analysis of a single intersection or an entire region/study area. TJKM’s studies have evaluated operations for a variety of land uses including infrastructure improvements, residential communities, regional shopping centers, industrial developments, public/private learning institutions, and more. Complete Streets | Bicycles & Pedestrian At TJKM, we look at each community’s unique needs to design safe and efficient transportation alternatives that meet the needs of all users. The goal being to integrate all modes to achieve safer and more accessible communities. TJKM has prepared preliminary designs and traffic operations studies for transportation projects that enhance the accessibility and safe accommodation of bicycle, pedestrian, and public transportation modes on roadways. These projects are consistent with the objectives of Complete Streets, which the National Complete Streets Coalition defines as facilities that “are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users.” Some of our projects have been awarded awards by the CTC and APWA. Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities Design TJKM has prepared conceptual plans for various alternative bicycle facilities as part of intersection improvement projects and streetscape projects. TJKM has designed pedestrian safety and bicycle gap closure projects that involve installation of Class II, III, and IV bicycle facilities. We have designed signing and striping and traffic signal modification PS&E for construction of the pedestrian and bicycle improvements. Signal Coordination & Timing Any signal coordination project presents many challenges such as: signal timing optimization philosophies and strategies; pedestrian clearances; advance and exclusive pedestrian phases; transit signal priority; cycle length selection; network partitioning; cross street coordination; and queue management. Our approach is based on numerous signal coordination projects we have worked on and lessons Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 10 learned from those projects. Based on our extensive experience in delivering successful similar projects we believe in order to develop good timing plans, accurate traffic volumes and data must be collected and analyzed. In addition, identification of the feeders and facilitators and other key relevant factors that can impact the progression and operations for all modes of transportation is very important. Once the plans have been developed via a software program, it is important that the traffic engineer observe the resulting conditions and fine-tune the plans to make them the most effective. Our Team has timed approximately 1500+ intersections throughout the State of California. Our proposed team members have worked on signal coordination projects under the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) Regional Signal Timing Program (RSTP) 2008-2010 Cycles and PASS 2010-2016 Cycles. In addition, we have provided traffic signal timing evaluation and signal timing plans for numerous local jurisdictions within the State. Many of our traffic signal system projects have included coordination of existing signals, development of new timing plans, implementation, and fine tuning, including interconnect design for some projects. Our engineers are thoroughly familiar with all of the necessary software programs (Streetwise, ATMS.now, 200SA, 233, Caltrans C8,QuickNet, ACTRA, MIST, Wapiti, Mccain) associated with different types of controllers (Econolite, Type 170’s, 2070L, 2070’s, NEMA TS2, Eagle, ASC-2, Transyt, Cobalt) that are utilized by different agencies. TJKM staff also has in-depth expertise in the development and calibration of the types of signal coordination plans available to improve transportation management systems: time- of-day, traffic responsive, and traffic adaptive signal coordination routines. Traffic Calming Studies & Design About 20 percent of TJKM’s total project experience is derived from traffic studies that include traffic calming recommendations and design. Our calming strategies have been implemented time and again because we begin these assignments with a careful, thoughtful analysis of the current traffic conditions. Our success with traffic calming projects comes from years of tried and lessons learned experiences. TJKM has written traffic calming policies and guidelines for Bay Area Cities, including Campbell, Los Gatos, Hayward, Palo Alto, and San Leandro. Many of our public agencies projects have been directly related to developing implementable neighborhood traffic calming strategies. TJKM has experts who have been involved in the planning of traffic calming devices that make transportation infrastructure safer and efficient for all modes of transportation. We have used various techniques (such as curb bulb-outs, lane reductions, pedestrian refuge, medians, raised intersections and crosswalks, etc.) to make transportation infrastructure friendly for all modes of transportation. Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 11 Traffic Impact Studies Traffic impact studies are a specialty at TJKM and we are well trained and highly effective in analyzing potential impacts created by a new or modified development, and we develop creative solutions that our clients can implement. TJKM’s traffic impact study services typically include: identifying LOS deficiencies, recommending alternative circulation systems, producing forecasts using transportation models, and providing mitigation measures for traffic impacts associated with a proposed development. TJKM has conducted over 3,000 traffic impact studies as part of environmental impact reports (EIRs) or as separate analyses. We have conducted studies for residential, retail, office, institutional, industrial, government, and recreational developments. Our clients include both private developers and government agencies. Traffic is often one of the major considerations in planning a new or modified development. A traffic impact study usually occurs in the early stages of the project planning. The purpose of the study is to assist planners, in both the public and private sectors, in making major land use and other development decisions. Because traffic impact studies are a specialty at TJKM, we are well trained and highly effective in analyzing potential impacts created by a new development and can develop creative solutions that our clients can implement. We routinely attend city council and planning commission meetings to support our findings and recommendations and have a successful track record of achieving accord between the developer’s vision and the best interests of the community. General Transportation & Planning TJKM regularly assists public agencies with traffic engineering and planning tasks for municipal projects. Our range of services includes transportation circulation elements; transportation master plans that include public transportation, bicycle, and pedestrian improvements; and peer reviews of existing planning studies and documents. Many citywide planning projects, such as traffic impact fee studies and citywide circulation studies, have been a regular service we provide. Traffic Signal Design & Construction Support TJKM has designed more than 2,000 traffic signals in nearly 200 jurisdictions throughout Northern and Central California. Our design staff are very experienced in preparing PS&E for new and modified traffic signal systems, and pavement delineation to improve capacity and safety. TJKM’S design process includes a thorough site investigation to verify existing information such as; lane geometry, sight distance issues, signal poles, controller cabinets, service pedestals, pull boxes, conduits, street lighting circuits and other pertinent information. Due to the detailed site investigation performed, the design staff has hands-on experience for constructible designs, with an extensive track record of successful design projects, and our team is dedicated to providing high quality and accurate PS&E. Many of our traffic signal design projects require design for interconnect and coordination that Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 12 include fiber optic, copper wire and wireless communications. Due to the evolving environment of signal design and traffic monitoring over the years, the TJKM Design Team is verify familiar with modifying and installing news signals that are equipped with traffic surveillance cameras, video detection systems, and wireless devices to support Adaptive Traffic Control Systems (ATCS), Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measure (ATSPM), and Connected Vehicle applications. TJKM’s staff routinely provides construction assistance for our design projects, including traffic calming devices and traffic signal systems. We attend pre-bid and pre-construction conferences to provide in-field assistance, and work effectively with contractors. TJKM also designs traffic / construction zone control plans that show how traffic will be handled during construction periods. Travel Demand Modeling & Forecasting TJKM has extensive experience forecasting future traffic volumes using all of the major travel demand modeling software packages, including TP+/Viper/CUBE. Our proposed traffic forecasting task leader has used the TP+/Viper/CUBE Solano-Napa Travel Demand Model (SNTDM) for projects including SNTDM 2009 Travel Model Revisions, Countywide Strategic Transportation Plan Update for Napa County, and I-680 North/South Freeway Performance Initiative Studies. We have utilized travel demand forecast models for land use and road network reviews and updates; model calibration/validation for existing and future conditions; and for performing large-scale traffic impact studies. We have also used forecast model databases and maps to develop other traffic models in a variety of software programs; performed traffic impact analysis; read shape files displaying land use data; and performed sophisticated geospatial operations. Safe Routes to School TJKM has evaluated bicyclist and pedestrian safety and designed improvements as part of numerous Safe Routes to School (SRTS) projects, and our staff is highly cognizant of the dynamics of school route safety through our experience as city traffic engineers. We understand the characteristics of school-age children, as well as the often limited resources available to implement improvement measures. We strive to balance competing priorities and recommend safety measures that can be implemented in both the short and long term. We work with all project stakeholders to build consensus on improving safety for all students traveling to and from schools. Our typical approach on SRTS projects includes meeting with school stakeholders, collecting background data, field inventory of existing infrastructure, conducting walking/bicycling audits, and identifying operati onal and physical improvement measures. Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 13 Environmental Studies We deliver high-quality services that satisfy the needs and goals of each project, and pride ourselves in our ability to complete EIR transportation sections on or ahead of schedule, and for a great value. TJKM provides transportation studies related to the environmental approval process for all types of land uses, including: freeways (PSRs/PRs), mixed-use, industrial, residential, office, retail, agricultural, institutional, and more. We offer the following services: • Existing Conditions Description • System Performance • Trip Generation • Transportation Mitigation Measures • Traffic Analysis for Alternative Scenarios • Reports and Responses • Hearing Attendance Parking Studies We bring extensive experience in many areas that cover both on-street and off-street parking facilities. We have successfully completed hundreds of studies for cities and private developers that involved parking supply/demand analysis, parking intrusion into residential neighborhoods, commuter parking, permit parking programs, parking fees, enforcement, wayfinding signs, policy development, etc. throughout the State of California, including Cities of Fairfield, Orinda, Redwood City, Turlock, Town of Danville, and Counties of San Luis Obispo, Marin. We have developed Parking Demand Management solutions for many cities with a goal to reduce parking demand by promoting cleaner and sustainable non-auto modes of transportation. Transportation Impact Fees & Nexus Studies Since 1974, TJKM has completed a number of high profile Traffic Impact Fee studies, and we understand the significance of these studies for cities and counties. Money generated by a defensible Traffic Impact Fee Program can greatly help a jurisdiction with development-related costs, especially in economic times such as these. We are very experienced with these types of projects and have proven our ability to complete these types of studies successfully time and again. TJKM also has extensive experience with stakeholder outreach. Many of our projects include this type of component and the team is skilled in meeting with stakeholders, including them in the process so that project “buy-in” can occur with minimal conflict. TJKM has been tasked time and again to complete and update Fee/AB 1600 studies for municipalities. Transportation Demand Management To reduce the number of vehicle trips generated and thereby the traffic impacts of development, TJKM often prepares TDM plans for local agencies and developers. TJKM assisted the City of Pleasanton in developing the City’s TDM program, which has been a key feature in the successful development of the large Hacienda Business Park area Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 14 of the City over the past 30 years. Additionally, TJKM has created TDM plans for many specific development projects, including the 600 West California Avenue R&D/Office complex in Sunnyvale, San Francisco Premium Outlets in Livermore, and Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens Senior Housing in Fresno. Grant Applications TJKM is very knowledgeable regarding the many sources of grant funding available to cities through MTC, Caltrans, VTA (Congestion Management Agency), and other sources, and what’s needed to prepare successful grant applications. After meeting with the City of San Carlos staff to gain a thorough understanding of each project for which grant funds are desired, TJKM would conduct field investigations, develop design concepts, and prepare drawings and cost estimates for the proposed improvements as needed to support the grant applications. If required for a particular grant application, such as for TDA Article 3 funds, TJKM would prepare detailed plans (e.g. signing and pavement delineation plans to add bicycle lanes) as appropriate to successfully qualify the project as “construction-ready.” TJKM would be available to complete all of the work on grant applications to meet any tight deadlines set by the funding agency. If the selection process includes oral presentations, TJKM’s Project Manager would present the City of San Carlos proposed projects to the selection panel. Using this approach, TJKM has successfully obtained grant funding for multiple projects on behalf of our municipal clients. Community Outreach TJKM has a combined total experience in this area of about 70 years, including involvement in many meetings, hearings, and workshops involving substantial areas of conflict among the participants. We are very comfortable in this setting and value a diversity of views by promoting public engagement and feedback. TJKM specializes in a variety of community outreach methods and strategies to assist our plans and clients, including public workshops, focus groups, hosting walking/biking tours, development of project websites for announcements and to elicit feedback, and intercept and online surveys. Our team will utilize unique insights from our past experience to proactively identify and address potential concerns. Building on those prior lessons learned, we will work closely with stakeholders to develop alternatives that meet safety and mobility goals while also supporting a community-building approach. Public & Private Experience Having worked extensively with both public agencies and private sector clients, we have developed valuable insights to effective project management. TJKM also find this mixed orientation extremely valuable in the development of successful land plans. We are able to make planning tools flexible enough to account for changing market conditions, while ensuring predictable public benefit. This knowledge allows them to create specific plans and master plans that are truly “implementable.” Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 15 TJKM EXPERIENCE Nearly 85 percent of our clients are repeat clients.

This was TJKM’s only contract termination in its 45 years history. The project was awarded to TJKM during late 2014 as a follow up to an earlier parking study project. The TJKM contract manager for the study, who had also completed the earlier study kept on missing the deadlines and eventually left TJKM in early 2015 and joined other organization. The San Carlos project was then transferred to a new TJKM project manager, along with other projects from the departed contract manager. During this transition period, the new TJKM project manager was unable to meet the San Carlos deadlines. The deliverable deadline was delayed by two weeks, as agreed with City of San Carlos during a Project Status meeting with City staff. The letter of termination was sent without advance warning. By that time, delivery of the deliverable was late by two months, and TJKM chose not to contest the termination.

The Team proposed by TJKM is not only unparalleled in each of these areas, but has the creativity to develop innovative design approaches to meet project challenges efficiently. Our Team’s extensive experience includes many state and city projects, as well as direct experience with as-needed traffic and transportation engineering services contracts. The TJKM Team is uniquely qualified to meet all of the City’s goals and objectives on any assignment, as demonstrated by the following facts that show the advantages the TJKM Team will bring to the City of San Luis Obispo: • An ideally suited Project Manager with over 29 years of engineering experience • Proposed team members who have successfully completed numerous traffic engineering and transportation design engineering projects throughout the State of California • A Team that is available and committed to the successful completion of any task assignments • A Project Manager with a strong reputation for competence and quality • Proposed team members who provide traffic engineering and transportation design engineering services to numerous jurisdictions throughout the State of California As a full-service, multi-disciplinary organization, the TJKM Team offers expertise in the following areas: • Transportation Engineering Design o Traffic Signals Design o Roadway Improvement Design o Development & Site Plan Review o Construction Support Services o Design Criteria, Schematic Design & Alternatives o Project Phasing, Scheduling, & Estimating o Topographic Surveys o Government Agency Review & Coordination o PS&E Preparation o Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) o Incident Management System o Communication Systems • Traffic Operations o Corridor Studies o Traffic Studies and Analysis o Traffic Simulation o Transit Priority & Bus Rapid Transit o Feasibility Studies o Noise Analysis o Traffic Surveys o Warrant Analysis o Traffic Signal Timing & Coordination • Transportation Planning o Traffic Impact Analysis o On-Street & Off-Street Parking o Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program o Parking Studies o Multimodal Studies o Environmental Impact Studies o Pedestrian & Bicycle Access & Safety o Safety Studies o Systemic Safety Analysis o Traffic Impact Fee Program o Multimodal Impact Fee Program • Travel Demand Modeling o Travel Demand Forecasting for all modes o Transit Modeling & Simulation o Data Analytics • Additional Consulting Services o Staff Augmentation o Programming & Grant Application o Educational Material o Public & Staff Meeting Facilitation o Outreach o Peer Review Work Program Work Program Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 38 WORK PROGRAM APPROACH Our general approach for any task order, assigned to TJKM Team as part of the On-Call Contract is summarized below. Successful completion of task orders requires three elements that our team provides special emphasis on: • Proactive project management in close coordination with the client's staff; • Thorough understanding of regulatory requirements, coupled with informal agency consultation early in the project to ascertain specific permitting permutations, and agency attitudes; and • Careful and continuous assessment of the schedule so that tasks in the critical path are completed at the appropriate point in the project. Our role as the City of San Luis Obispo technical On-Call Traffic Consultant will be to focus on providing support and coordination to successfully fulfill technical studies, including sound scope development and schedule requirements. This approach relies upon strong management skills and communications by Ms. Ruta Jariwala and individual Task Leaders, who are thoroughly familiar with regulations pertinent to each discipline, with the understanding that permitting requirements often drive the project schedule. Understanding the project’s critical path enables Ms. Jariwala to focus technical efforts, thereby maintaining cost efficiency and overall schedule. The TJKM approach to successful completion of each task relies on a careful assessment of the likely technical and regulatory requirements of the project, and formulation of the appropriate team for the task. The size and structure of the task is tailored to meet the project schedule, and is designed to be of sufficient depth to provide flexibility with the flow of project demands. For each task order, Ms. Jariwala will consult with the City of San Luis Obispo’s Project Manager to develop an appropriate scope and staffing matrix. Close coordination between City of San Luis Obispo staff and our technical team will enable issues of public and agency concern to be evaluated to an appropriate level of detail. For each assignment, our general approach is as follows: Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 39 Initiation of Work Assignments – The City of San Luis Obispo Project Manager will notify Ms. Jariwala of a proposed or possible task assignment. Based on the type of work involved, he will identify one or more choices of team for the assignment, and provide these recommendations to the City of San Luis Obispo. Ms. Jariwala will be available to meet with the City of San Luis Obispo Project Manager, to discuss the team for the assignment and make necessary changes based on the input received. Preparation of Work Plans & Initiation of Task Orders – The City of San Luis Obispo task order will provide the proposed study objectives and expectations, including any specialized needs and schedule requirements. TJKM will work with the City of San Luis Obispo Project Manager to confirm the requirements, and refine or clarify assumptions or expectations, including needed information from the City. TJKM will coordinate with the City of San Luis Obispo to achieve approval of the task order, and no work will proceed until the task order is signed and a notice to proceed is issued. As appropriate, a work plan will be developed at the initiation of the task order, or the task order itself will function as the work plan. A project schedule will be developed that identifies key milestones, including delivery dates and incorporation of City of San Luis Obispo review times, and if applicable other regulatory agency review periods. Monitoring Progress of Assignment – Objective-based performance monitoring is a highly visible activity on our projects. The budget and schedule for tasks identified in the Work Plan for each task order will be entered into our in-house, accounting system that allows both Ms. Jariwala and the Task Leaders to monitor budget and schedule performance. Coordination may include scheduled technical briefings with City of San Luis Obispo staff. Progress reports for each assignment under this contract will be prepared monthly. Deliverables – As assigned deliverables are prepared, they will receive an independent, documented technical and peer review by qualified in-house staff. Following the peer review, documents will be provided to the City for review. The City of San Luis Obispo comments will be addressed and incorporated into the draft deliverable(s). TJKM uses comment matrices to list each comment and how and where it was addressed. These comment matrices provide an additional documentation of the QA/QC process. As appropriate, documents will be provided in paper and electronic formats in accordance with the contract/task order. Schedule Control - Establishing a schedule that meets the project objectives is relatively easy. Maintaining this schedule during changing project priorities, unforeseen conditions, public consensus building, etc., is a challenge. The project work scope will be broken down by function and separated into defined tasks. Tasks will be linked logically and will be sufficiently detailed to allow for realistic representation of the project. Project progress will also be monitored by percent complete for each task SERVICES/DATA TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY Following the City’s request to develop a Scope of Work for a particular Task Order, TJKM will determine what services or data may be needed from the City. Having worked with the City as an on-call transportation planner for several years, Nayan is familiar with the data and resources available from the City. The following is a non- exhaustive list of anticipated items, depending on the nature of the Task Order, that may be requested from the City: • City of San Luis Obispo Updated Travel Demand Model (if any) • Access to Previously Completed Studies in the Project Vicinity or Relevant Background Information • Access to City’s Multimodal Count Database • Traffic Signal Timing and Coordination Plans • As-Built Plans • Utility Contact Information • Available Topographic Survey Statement of Qualifications for Transportation On-Call Services Specification No. 100.50500.7227.TE Page 40 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Understanding of On-Call Contracts The TJKM Team provides the City with the full range of traffic engineering and transportation design engineering capabilities necessary to address the many and varied requirements of this on-call services contract.

The process included an evaluation of existing and future traffi c volumes, collision history and traffi c signal operations in order to quantify facility operation and determine necessary future improvements. The focus of the recommendations was based on a goal to maintain the existing two-lane bridge structures crossing US 101. Since the existing narrow two-lane bridges (and underpasses) provided little room for standard traffi c capacity enhancements, the ultimate recommendations included a number of roundabout intersections, including some which incorporated the closely spaced frontage roads into the intersection with the freeway ramps. Schematic plans of the improvements were developed along with estimated costs. Cannon Associates provided Civil Engineering support.

The lighting inventory database collected for this project is currently being used by County staff to pursue an LED lighting retroö t project with PG&E. An additional task was added to the scope in conjunction with the PG&E coordination, which provided help to the County in selecting the ideal new LED ö xture for a set of typical streets in the County, based on a photometric analysis of lighting consistency and ö xture equivalency. The last two phases of the project, preparing a Streetlight Design Guideline and deö ning Capitol Projects to repair current lighting deö ciencies are currently in review by County staff .

W-Trans served as the traffi c engineer and evaluated 80-plus trail crossings of various streets, driveways, bridges, and railroad tracks in order to identify design features of each crossing. A warrant process was used to conduct the evaluation; traffi c operational characteristics of each crossing location were obtained, including average daily traffi c volumes, vehicle crossing speeds, crossing sight distances, and pedestrian activity levels at each location. Concept designs were developed for many of the crossing locations indicating recommended warning device locations, signing and striping, and pavement markings to provide for safe pedestrian and bicycle crossings. Contact: Cory Caletti, Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission, (831)768-8012, ccaletti@sccrtc.org Pedestrian Crossings Safety Study for Bodega Avenue – City of Sebastopol W-Trans was tasked with evaluating pedestrian safety at existing marked crosswalks at uncontrolled intersections on Bodega Avenue, a City cross-town regional route. The process included vehicle traffi c volume counts, pedestrian crossing counts, vehicle speed surveys, examination of collision records, warrant analyses and ö eld reviews. The Warrant Evaluation indicated the extent of appropriate improvements including traffi c signals, pedestrian hybrid beacons (HAWK), in-roadway warning lights (IRWL), rapid ø ashing beacons, refuge medians, and/or high visibility crosswalk markings and signs. Recommendations were made for enhancements at the ö ve study intersections. W-Trans then prepared construction plans for these improvements which included a HAWK, Flashing Beacons, refuge medians, signing and striping, and traffi c calming elements.

New bike lanes and improved traffi c ø ow were achieved within the existing road width through a “road diet” and conversion to a one-way street couplet. W-Trans prepared design plans for a new roundabout at the previously awkwardly- conö gured intersection where First and Second Streets converged at Camellia Way. The roundabout now serves as the splitting point between one-way and two-way downtown streets. The design was developed to provide appropriate vehicle speeds, enhance pedestrian and bicycle facilities, minimize the number of aff ected trees, and simplify traffi c ø ow in the vicinity. W-Trans was responsible for preparing all horizontal design of the roundabout and associated paths, as well as construction signing and striping plans. The roundabout was completed in the fall of 2013. Contact: Wyatt West, Traffi c Engineering Division, (530) 879-6941, wwest@ci.chico.ca.us Roundabout Design for Arnold Drive/Agua Caliente Road – County of Sonoma W-Trans assisted with the design plans and speciö cations for a roundabout at the junction of two arterials in Agua Caliente, located at the transition between rural and suburban Sonoma County. W-Trans was responsible for the horizontal design of the roundabout, roundabout signing and striping plans, electrical plans, traffi c handling plans, roundabout traffi c analysis, and support on related issues including landscaping design. Key constraints included the need to regulate entering vehicle speeds on Arnold Drive, avoid right-of-way impacts, minimize environmental impacts associated with trees and street lighting, and accommodate a major utility vault outside of the circulating lane. Construction of the roundabout was completed in December 2013. Contact: Johannes Hoevertsz, Director- Transportation & Public Works, (707) 565-3585, Johannes.Hoevertsz@sonoma-county.org Five Corners Traffi c Calming and Circulation – City of Avalon W-Trans was tasked with developing a solution for a non-standard intersection in the City of Avalon that serves ö ve streets at the junction between the residential grid and access to the hospital, schools and other recreational facilities. Coupled with the absence of any consistent circulation guidance, the cluster of streets serves a wide variety of vehicles ranging from “autoettes” (golf carts) to tour buses. The focus of the solution was to provide complete street elements to create a more logical traffi c ø ow while providing for active transportation pedestrian and bicycle safety. The proposed solution was dual mini roundabouts with mountable center islands that allow City ö re trucks to easily negotiate Five Corners while keeping all other traffi c traveling at a more calmed pace and consistent geometric orientation.

W-Trans authored the Circulation Element and associated policies, and conducted evaluations of land use and circulation alternatives as well as preparing an extensive analysis of multimodal circulation. Conversion of the existing one-way street couplet along SR 116 was evaluated to determine the feasibility of conversion to a two-way street network. The update has a strong focus on maintaining the City’s distinctive downtown and creating pedestrian and bicycle routes. Level of Service exemptions were created in cases where the City found that the infrastructure improvements needed to maintain vehicle LOS (such as roadway or intersection widening or intersection control modiö cations) would be in conø ict with goals of improving multimodal circulation or would adversely impact the character of Sebastopol. The multimodal circulation emphasis reø ects the community’s character and meets State of California requirements for Complete Streets.

Availability W-Trans’ Principal-in-Charge, Steve Weinberger, would check in with City staff periodically to determine how we can assist the City in meeting their goals and project needs. Periodically, Mr. Weinberger or other W-Trans staff are in San Luis Obispo County on other assignments, so would drop in if the City has the time to meet. Otherwise, a regularly scheduled phone check in can be scheduled. W-Trans goal is to be responsive and act as an extension of City staff and to be a resource on issues, no matter the size. Based on issues, projects and design needs of the City, we would assign the appropriate Senior staff paired with one of our Engineer/Planners who have the experience to address the task at hand. Many of our staff are Cal Poly graduates, so have a familiarity with the City, traffi c and transportation. Developing a Work Plan The ö rst step when initiating a new project is to gain insight into the work needed, and ensure that the goals to be achieved are fully understood. Input from stakeholders could be obtained at this stage, if needed to adequately scope the work. Building upon this understanding, a scope of work can be developed, including key milestones and associated deliverables. Tasks will be included identifying the number and types of meetings anticipated, as well as the processes for determining participants and ensuring that stakeholders are included in the communication protocol. In determining the fee it is critical that the right personnel are assigned to perform the work proposed. Finally, a schedule would be provided that indicates timing for key milestones, deliverables, meetings, hearings, and other deadlines. W-Trans would base the schedule on past experience in terms of the time needed for preparation of our work, and including adequate time for stakeholder review and input. We would work with City staff to ensure that “hard” deadlines, or those set by outside agencies or funding requirements, are always met. Information Provided by the City We understand that City’s staff time is valuable and our job is to minimize their time spent on our project assignments. At appropriate check-in sessions, either scheduled or impromptu on the phone or “Go To Meeting” sessions, W-Trans will query City staff on the issues and history that have given risen to the assignment and any available data such as traffi c counts, speed surveys, traffi c projections, safety analysis or operational analysis already completed which would be beneö cial for our review. W-Trans would then take responsibility in supplementing the data needed to complete the required analysis or design. Project Management Plan Upon initiating work, the Project Manager will hold meetings with other staff weekly, or as needed, to ascertain progress and discuss upcoming actions. The Project Manager will monitor adherence to the schedule, and apprise the client of progress. It is the Project Manager’s responsibility to ensure that milestone deliveries are made on time, and also to check in with reviewers to receive comments and also prompt action when needed. When necessary, the Project Manager will create a matrix of comments showing each comment, the person or ö rm responsible for responding, and any notes or other information to be included in the response. Upon receipt of responses the matrix will be assembled in such a way that is can be sorted by commenter, responder, or topic, if appropriate. The Project Manager will be the key contact for the City and will manage communication with other team members, including sub-consultants. Use of email is highly encouraged so that team members can be kept “in the loop” regarding ongoing issues and decisions. If a project requires communication with an outside agency, such as SLOCOG , Caltrans, or the County, all electronic communication will be copied to City staff and notes regarding 23Transportation On-Call Services (Speciö cation No. 100.50500.7227.TE) any phone conversations of merit will also be provided to staff to ensure that appropriate stakeholders are aware of any decisions being made. Finally, the Project Manager will be responsible for monitoring the ö nancial aspects of the project to ensure that any tasks undertaken are completed within the programmed fee, including for sub-consultants. Tracking for W-Trans employees is accomplished through employee-speciö c budget information uploaded to their timesheets so that all employees can see at a glance where they are versus the allocated budget. Records will be kept for any sub-consultants to track their invoices against any task orders and ensure that the fee is consistent with the work produced. Managing Key Risks and Challenges in Delivering a Project Every project has its own unique challenges associated with the speciö cs of the project itself, but all share the challenge of meeting the client’s expectations, achieving a product that meets the goals of the project, and completing the work within the established schedule and budget. To avoid the risk of need to re-do any of the work, a partnership with City staff is needed to manage coordination between various agencies and address their diff ering demands. Regular communication with City staff is important so that any mutually agreed upon changes are discussed well in advance of when they might aff ect schedule adherence. W-Trans has both led and participated in numerous projects that required a team of consultants to work together in a collaborative manner. The key challenge to such a project is, again, communication, and information would be disseminated to the team as well as other stakeholders through the use of emails and other written records together with either face-to-face or telephone meetings to ensure that all participants are working toward the same goals. Quality Assurance Program W-Trans has established a high standard of quality products, achieved through both internal reviews and checks. All work is checked by a second staff member during the preparation of studies, plans, reports, or any product; then prior to issuing any review draft to the City it would undergo a ö nal review, being read or reviewed in its entirety by a principal not involved in prior day to day eff orts to ensure that it is comprehensive, cohesive and consistent. This ö nal review is critical to ensuring that products make sense, and also includes a review to see that all of the issues identiö ed in the scope and other prior feedback has been addressed. Any products prepared by sub-consultants would likewise be subject to a ö nal internal review to ensure that W-Trans’ standard for quality is met. We take pride in producing quality work, and commit to ensuring that the quality of our work will not suff er, even in the face of schedule adherence. We will devote additional resources as needed through our own staff and those of our team members (if any) to achieve the quality that the City deserves while still meeting schedule commitments. This QA Program would be documented through logs identifying the steps to be taken, the personnel assigned both to prepare and check the work, and including any notes or comments along with copies of check prints. For written documents this would be accomplished through use of the “track changes” feature in WORD to identify changes made subsequent to the initial preparation of any documents.

Briana Byrne graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in 2014 with a major in Civil Engineering and focus in Transportation Engineering. During her last year at Cal Poly, she interned with the County of San Luis Obispo Public Works Department. She is interested in multimodal transportation and the impacts a great transportation system has on the community as well as the individual. Growing up, she fi rst experienced the euphoria of freedom by riding buses and BART all over the East Bay and San Francisco. Then in San Luis Obispo, the existing bicycle infrastructure encouraged her to start cycling, soon after becoming her main means of transportation. She would like to help communities embrace and emphasize multimodal transportation improvements where none exist or they are lacking. She was involved with ITE at Cal Poly, and in 2013-2014 she served as a committee member for the planning of the inaugural ITE Student Leadership Summit hosted by the Cal Poly ITE Student Chapter; the Summit has since established itself as an annual student-organized event in the Western District.
