COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT I NUMBER
FROM: Randy Rossi, Interun Community Development Director BY. Terry Sanville,
Principal Planner
SUBJECT. Approval of Contract With DKS Associates of Oakland to complete
specified circulation studies.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution approving an agreement between the City and DKS
Associates to complete specified circulation studies and authorize the mayor
to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND
In August, 1989 the City Council reviewed with staff two alternatives for proceeding with
specific circulation studies. The council supported what was identified as the "alternative"
strategy which means that the city will pursue specific implementation studies including:
1. The preparation of a trip reduction ordinance,
2. Bicycle project planning,
3. Neighborhood traffic management studies,
4. A Short Range Transit Management Plan, and
5. Street network studies.
The council directed staff to work with DKS Associates to prepare a revised scope of
work and services agreement that reflects this new "alternative" strategy. The attached
contract. and work scope reflects that staff and consultants efforts.
It should be noted that the attached contract does not include the preparation of a
transit plan. The scoping of this plan will be handled by City's Transit Coordinator, who
will submit a separate contract proposal to the City Council later this year. Also,
additional bicycle project planning is being done by the Public Works Department.
Consultant assistance may be needed in the future for testing the feasibility of special
projects but has not been included at this time. The Public Works department has met
with staff and concerned citizens to identify a list of priority bike path projects. This ad
hoc group will again meet in early November with an update to the City Council in
December.
The City Council should review the attached contract and work scope, suggest changes
as appropriate, and approve the services agreement.
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
The total cost of the DKS contract is $169,140. Staff suggests that at least a 10%
contingency be established for this program — bringing the total cost to $189,000 ±.

GINGs COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
The Community Development Department's 1989-1990 budget earmarked $210,000 for
circulation studies and for special planning studies (eg. General Plan EIR). The current
budget will cover the cost of the DKS contract plus contingencies (with about $30,000
remaining). However, budget augmentation will probably be necessary in the future to
cover the preparation of a "Master" EIR for the Land Use and Circulation Elements
(estimated cost of $50,000). Also, the cost of the preparation of a short range transit
plan (estimated cost of $50,000) is not included in the Community Development
Department budget and will require separate.funding.
In sum, because of the specifity of the proposed workscope for DKS, and the
involvement of the consultant in the public adoption process and neighborhood meetings,
the cost of the DKS contract is somewhat higher than previously anticipated.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING AN ACTION
Work on specific implementation studies will be delayed. Coordinating the preparation
of a Circulation Element with the Land Use Element may be more difficult.
EVALUATION
1. Outcome of Contract
The proposed work program is designed to result in specific "products" that the City can `
use to address existing and future transportation problems. DKS Associates would be
asked to:
1. Prepare a Trip Reduction Ordinance and administrative guidelines for
presentation to the City Council for adoption. The purpose of this ordinance
would be to require the participation of area employers in-activities that reduce
job-related trips.
2. Identify neighborhoods throughout San Luis Obispo where traffic management
is warranted and prepare schematic implementation plans for council consideration
and incorporation into the city's capital budget.
3. Analyze the street network and recommend projects for consideration by the
council for inclusion in the City's Circulation Element. This effort will also
include a preliminary impact evaluation of potential projects to determine their
appropriateness for consideration.
2. Related Studies and Other Consultant Services
The consultant will coordinate their efforts with the preparation of a Transit Management
Plan (handled under separate contract), the development of a pedestrian trails plan being
worked on by the Community Development Department (Randy Rossi), efforts by the
Public Works Department to develop bicycle path improvements, and work by the
Community Development Department to prepare and distribute a transportation survey
I
city of san IUIS OBISp0
=WWGW COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
to city residents.
DKS Associates will also be asked to provide "general consultant services" to the city in
its efforts to update the Circulation Element. The City would establish a technical
advisory committee (TAC) made up of representatives from affected city departments and
county agencies. The TAC would work with the consultant to evaluate the outcome of
the specific implementation studies referenced above and to assist with the preparation
of the Circulation Element as a "policy" plan.
3. Involvement of the Planning Commission and City Council and Timing
As indicated in the workscope, the Planning Commission and City Council would be
involved in reviewing the consultant's work at key points and assisting with policy
direction as the studies proceed.
It is the goal of this services contract to have the basic studies completed by Spring,
1990. The preliminary results of these studies and other related city transportation work
(eg. Transit Management Plan) will provide input into the preparation of the Circulation
Element which is being coordinated with the preparation of a hearing draft Land Use
Element.
The current strategy is to prepare a "Master EIR" that evaluates the Land Use and
Circulation Elements during Summer, 1990 with public hearings to consider adoption of
both elements in Fall 1990.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City Council should review the attached contract and workscope, make changes as
appropriate, approve the contract and authorize the mayor to sign it.

3. TRIP REDUCTION ORDINANCE(TRO) AND ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES J
3.1 Objective of This Analysis and Required Results
City wants to establish a program that will reduce the number of automobile trips associated
with employees in the city, and which can be a model for other county areas to follow.
Consultant will prepare a draft Trip Reduction Ordinance (TRO), prepare administrative
guidelines, and present them to the City Council
for review and adoption. The ordinance and guidelines will be prepared in such detail as
to enable City, upon their adoption, to immediately initiate a trip reduction program. Legal
analysis of the TRO provisions is not'included in this Scope of Work.
For purposes of TRO preparation, consultant will work with a TRO Task Force formed as
a subcommittee of the TAC, augmented with one or more business/employer representatives
and other key agencies or city departments most directly affected by the TRO.
3.2 Evaluate Candidate Program E_ lements
Consultant will identify and evaluate potential TRO program elements for consideration by
the City. This task will consist of the following activities:
A. Data Collection. Consultant will evaluate information about area employers to determine
the application and effectiveness of alternative trip reduction programs. City will provide
Consultant with employment information for city employers and current city transit ridership
statistics. Consultant will contact appropriate county and state agencies to secure data
concerning regional transit ridership, ridesharing, and out-of-city major employers (eg. the
California Mens Colony).
B. Case Studer Consultant will assemble and review information on selected other
transportation system management programs that have been successfully implemented
elsewhere, including measures of success, implementation procedures and costs, and the like.
C. Surveys Consultant will review results of the City's transportation survey, if available in
time, and determine whether additional employer/employee surveys are necessary for
purposes of preparing the TRO. If surveys are required, consultant will prepare draft
questionnaire and City will be responsible for final printing, distribution and tabulations.
D. Analy§is. Consultant will evaluate the potential costs and effectiveness of various
alternative programs based on the preceding sources of. information, and from this will
recommend program elements/measures for inclusion in the TRO.
E. Interim Working Paper. Consultant will document the evaluation of alternative programs
in a working paper. Consultant will present this working paper to the TRO task force or
TAC and, following review by this group, present the working paper as well as TAC
feedback to the City Council. A revised working paper will not be prepared; instead, City
Council comments and directions will be directly incorporated into subsequent TRO
preparation.
3.3 Prepare Draft Trip Reduction Ordinance
Consultant will prepare a draft Trip Reduction Ordinance for city-wide application consistent
with City Council direction given in Task 32. Consultant will evaluate and consider the
following elements for inclusion in the draft ordinance:
A. Trip_Reduction Objectives and Phasing The percentage decrease in single occupant
vehicle trips associated with employment and/or the desired ridership levels per vehicle for
work trips. A schedule for meeting TRO objectives by affected employers (eg. yearly
performance levels over a 45 year period).

4. NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT STUDIES
4.1 Obiectives of This Analysis .and Desired Results
City wants to take actions that limit the use of local streets within residential areas by
through traffic. In order to establish Neighborhood Traffic Management Plans,
Consultant will first identify residential areas were through traffic is, or is likely to be
using local streets. Upon authorization from City, Consultant will prepare physical
improvement plans and suggest non-capital strategies for managing traffic in impacted
residential areas to-reduce the volume and speed of through traffic. The neighborhood.
plans and management techniques shall be presented in such detail as to allow the city
to prepare final plans and specifications and implement plan proposals.
C' 4.2 Identification of Impacted Residential Neighborhoods
Consultant will survey traffic patterns within San Luis Obispo and identify residential
areas where existing or projected traffic volumes exceed desirable levels for local street
traffic volumes because of their use by through traffic (traffic originating from outside
the area). As part of this analysis, Consultant shall review and recommend guidelines
for identifying "excessive" traffic levels for local and collector streets.
Consultant shall define the limit of the residential areas that are impacted by excessive
through traffic. Consultant shall use traffic count information produced as part of Phase
I of City's Circulation Study. Upon request by Consultant and approval of City, City will
conduct additional traffic counts and/or license plate survey(s) within targeted areas in
order to verify traffic loading on neighborhood streets. If license plate surveys are done
C' by City, Consultant shall tabulate the results.
SO
Consultant shall prepare and submit a. report that (1) identifies residential areas within
San Luis Obispo where neighborhood traffic management to control through traffic is
desired, and (2) includes guidelines for identifying local and collector streets with
"excessive" traffic levels. Consultant shall present this report to the TTAC for review and
input. Consultant shall present the report to the City Council, at one public meeting.
The study budget provides for analysis of four general neighborhood areas (each of which
may include consideration of one or more individual streets). Should additional or fewer
neighborhood areas be identified for analysis, the level of effort, scope and budget will
be reviewed and, if necessary, modified mutually to the City_and Consultant prior_ to
proceeding with conceptual plan development (Task 43).
43 Preparation_and Review of Neigh borhoodConcep atu 1 Pians
Upon receiving authorization from the City .Council to proceed, consultant shall
undertake and complete the following:
A Concent Plan Pre ation Consultant shall prepare and
evaluate concept plans for managing traffic within each of the impacted residential areas

* City-wide traffic circulation
* Bicycle circulation
* Transit routes and Circulation
* Neighborhood circulation patterns
* Emergency services including emergency medical services, fire service,
and police response.
The impact analysis on city-wide circulation shall utilize the computer model developed
as part of Phase I of the circulation studies. City Fire and Police Departments will
assist Consultant in determining the impact of traffic management proposals on
emergency service response times. Upon request of Consultant, City will undertake field
studies to determine response time impacts. Where emergency service response will be
reduced below adopted city standards, Consultant will consider alternative concept designs
that will eliminate impacts. -
C. Neiehhorhood Review ofoncep Pt lans Upon completion of concept plans for
target neighborhoods, consultant shall present plans to City TTAC for review and
comments. Subsequent to TTAC review, City project manager will schedule meetings
within target neighborhoods to review management concepts with residents.

arrangements. Consultant shall be responsible for preparing presentation materials and
presenting concept plans at one meeting per neighborhood. Any additional neighborhood
meetings requiring consultant attendance will be compensated for on a time and materials
basis as defined on Exhibit "C."
D. Concent Plan Refinement and ummary ReP= Based on feedback received from
the TTAC and neighborhoods, Consultant will refine concept plans and shall prepare a
report that presents the plans (in 8 1/2 x 11 format), summarizes Consultant's findings
regarding the need for plan improvements, alternatives considered, neighborhood response
to proposals, estimated implementation costs, and recommended implementation priorities
and phasing.
E. Commission lCn„ncilReview and Authorize ionto Proceed Consultant shall present
J-
summary report and concept plans to the Planning Commission and City Council at one
public hearing per body. Attendance at one hearing per body is included in the study
budget; additional hearings shall be compensated for on a time and materials basis as

4.4 Prenara 'on of schematic Neighborhood Planc
Upon receiving City Council authorization to proceed, Consultant shall undertake any
plan refinements suggested by the City Council and shall prepare and submit to City
project manager schematic plans for all proposed physical improvements within each
target neighborhood. Consultant shall submit a map showing the location of all proposed
improvements within the neighborhood. Consultant will prepare schematic drawings of
proposed improvements at a scale no smaller than 1" = 20'. Dimensioned improvement
drawings shall be grouped by neighborhood area on 24" x 36" sheets and shall identify:
r
' Materials used in improvements
' Landscape areas
' Identification of drainage improvements
' Location of 'gning
' Impacted utilities
' Impact on parking
Schematic drawings will be prepared in sufficient detail as to demonstrate the physical
feasibility of constructing/installing improvements and to allow city to prepare detailed
improvement drawings and construction specifications. The City project manager, in
consultation with the City Engineer, may waive the requirement to prepare schematic
plans for certain improvements (such as signs) when plans are not needed to fully
implement the proposal.
The budget for this task assumes preparation of eight 24"x36" plan sheets (an average of
two sheets per neighborhood.area).. Should additional or fewer plan sheets be a needed,
this will be identified in Task 43, and the level of effort, scope and budget will be
reviewed and, if necessary, modified mutually by the City and the Consultant prior to
proceeding with schematic drawings.
4.5 Work Schedule and Compensation
Consultant shall complete all work in a timely maaner consistent with attached Exhibit
"B" and shall be compensated for work consistent with attached Exhibit "C' and

5. STREET NETWORK ANALYSIS AND LAND USE MODELING
5.1 Obiective of This Analysis and Required Results
City wants to consider changes to the network of local and regional streets and highways
and proposed land uses to maintain adequate traffic flow, now and in the future.
Consultant and City will identify potential street projects, evaluate their impact on level
of service and circulation patterns using the computer model, consider their potential
environmental and neighborhood impacts, and establish a recommended project listing
for inclusion in the draft Circulation Element and future City Capital Improvement
Programs.
City also wants to test the traffic impacts of various land use and growth alternatives
using the computer model. The purpose of this testing is to help guide City in the
development and environmental evaluation of the discussion draft Land Use Element.
Consultant will assist City with this land use modeling process and correlate the results
of this analysis with the need for street network changes.
5.2 Identification and Screening of Network Options
Consultant will identify candidate roadway improvement options and present them to City
TTAC for review and comment. These options will include alternative street network
arrangements to serve the Central Business District.
In cooperation with TTAC, Consultant will screen roadway improvement options based
on their potential for relieving existing or projected traffic capacity deficiencies, their
relative
costs, their potential community impacts, and previous studies or actions taken.
S•33
::onsultant may use a "weighted matrix" analytical technique to help summarize findings
/ and conclusions concerning impacts and benefits. Consultant will prepare and submit a
memorandum that lists the options considered and identifies candidate network changes
that are subject to further analysis.
53 Analysis of Land Use and-Growth Management Alternatives
The purpose of this analysis is to determine how alternative land use and growth
management strategies might affect the volume and distribution of future automobile
traffic. City will define various land use and city/regional growth scenarios to be tested
through application of the computer model. City will provide all land use data and
city/regional growth assumptions needed as input into the computer model. Consultant
will be responsible for running the model and analyzing and interpreting its output.
O
Consultant will prepare and submit a report that defines the circulation impacts of
various land use/growth alternatives and describes the relative differences (if any)
between traffic impacts associated with community .build out as envisioned by the
"discussion draft" Land Use Element (July 1989) and other alternative strategies.
Consultant will present report to the City Council as information during its hearings to
consider the "discussion draft" of the Land Use Element.
5.4 Initial Environmental, Circulation and Communi1l Impacts
Consultant will review and package into system alternatives (up to three) each of the
candidate street projects for further analysis in Task 5.2. For each alternative, an
environmental screening will be carried out to summarize their impact on land use,
neighborhood quality, community and neighborhood circulation patterns and level of
V s��
service on arterial street corridors. The purpose of this-initial environmental screening
is to identify projects that may have significant environmental effects or community
impacts that would cause the project to be infeasible (fatal flaw analysis). Consultant
will prepare and submit a working paper that identifies candidate street projects needed
to serve.the community as envisioned by the draft Land Use Element initiated by the
City Council. The working paper will summarize the results of the environmental
screening and will make recommendations for including projects within the draft
Circulation Element.
The working paper will include maps and conceptual drawings which identify the location
of major street network changes and present street design provisions (travel lanes, turn
lanes, medians, bike lanes, sidewalks, utility easements etc.) and associated pavement
widths and right-of--way requirements. City will provide Consultant with information
J
concerning the dimensions and design of affected existing street corridor's. The intent
of these drawings is to clearly portray the nature and extend of the project and to help
identify its impacts on the corridor.
City project manager will distribute copies of the working paper to the TTAC, Planning
Commission and City Council and schedule a study sessions for commission and council
review of report. Consultant will present findings and conclusions of the working paper
to the Planning Commission and City Council and will attend one commission and one
council meeting to discuss recommendations. Additional meetings, if requested, will be
compensated for on a time and materials basis as indicated in Exhibit "C."

\ I
' developed as part of Phase I of the circulation studies. Compensation for Tasks 53 and
5.4 shall cover the running the computer model for six iterations as selected. by City
with advice from Consultant (e.g., three network alternatives, three land use alternatives).
City may request and Consultant shall provide additional computer runs, compensation
for which shall be as stipulated on attached Exhibit "C.""
5.5 Transportation System Management (TSMI Concepts
Consultant will identify traffic operational strategies (eg. curb parking removal, turn
restrictions, signal phasing) that City can employ to better management current and
future traffic levels along arterial street corridors. Target areas for the application of
TSM strategies will be described. Consultant shall prepare and submit a memorandum
that identifies TSM strategies appropriate to San Luis Obispo and identifies candidate
areas for their application.
5.6 Installation and Training of Computer Model
Consultant will install the computer model on an IBM-compatible PC computer at the
City's offices and provide five days of training for city staff in the use of the City Traffic
Model. In addition to the MINUTP users manual and the overall model description,
documentation will be provided that is tailored to operating procedures for the San Luis
Obispo model for use by City staff, and up to 16 hours of telephone assistance will be
provided.
An initial two-day of training will be devoted to an overview of transportation forecasting
