MARK THOMAS

We Know Caltrans
Mark Thomas has an unmatched understanding of the Caltrans delivery process and their design standards and manuals. Why is this important to a complete streets project? We have the experience to support municipal agencies as they navigate the complex and often frustrating Caltrans process. Our experience as a premier interchange and highway/corridor design firm means we have the ability to develop creative geometric concepts, and deliver the planning and final design of projects governed by Caltrans. As a result, we have developed strong working relationships with Caltrans Headquarters and District 4 staff and are knowledgeable of the Caltrans HDM and the Caltrans Project Development Procedures Manual (PDPM). Further, our interchange and highway/corridor designs consider multi-modal needs, including the connectivity and safety of transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians, and the driving public. A partial list of projects that adhered to the Caltrans Project Development Process follows on the next page. We put our experience to work to help our clients deliver projects with Caltrans involvement.

We understand how to address key challenges to develop designs that meet local goals and can be approved by Caltrans staff. We work proactively with Caltrans staff to develop win-win solutions that work for both parties.

Mark Thomas has planned and delivered more than 100 Caltrans-related projects in Caltrans District 4 as shown on the map above. We were the first consultant allowed to plan and design improvements to the State Highway System, with the US 101 Widening project in Santa Clara County in 1986. Since then, we have planned and/or delivered more than 200 locally-sponsored projects on Caltrans facilities across the state, totaling more than $15 billion in improvements.

EL CAMINO REAL/SELBY LANE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Town of Atherton

MARK THOMAS

APPROACH

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Town of Atherton (Town) is seeking a consultant team to advance safety and mobility improvements at the intersection of El Camino Real (ECR) and Selby Lane, with work that moves from feasibility refinement into final design, permitting, environmental documentation, and bidding support. The Town is considering two primary traffic control alternatives for evaluation at this location, a full traffic signal or a high-intensity activated crosswalk (HAWK)/Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB), along with supporting pedestrian, bicycle, lighting, curb ramp, and geometric improvements. Both alternatives identified will be studied and analyzed to understand how each affects pedestrian safety improvements (refuge areas, curb ramps, ADA access), lighting, signing and striping, and proposed bicycle improvements. The analysis of both alternatives will be supported by traffic analysis that builds on prior corridor study work and focuses on reducing conflicts between different modes of travel. The documented history of incidents (including the recent pedestrian hit and run that was noted in the RFP) at and near this intersection make safety improvements for pedestrian, bicycle and other vulnerable users extremely important to the Town and the traveling public. The two alternatives will also be coordinated with existing planned corridor work, future projects (including a concurrent Town drainage improvement effort) and Caltrans requirements.

El Camino Real is a Caltrans owned, operated and maintained facility. Any improvements on this corridor requires Caltrans review, coordination and approval. The proposed improvements make this intersection a perfect candidate to acquire Caltrans approval through the Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) process. Along with the required DEER application and checklist, the DEER process specifically requires coordination with Caltrans Traffic Safety and completion of the Intersection Safety and Operational Assessment Process (ISOAP) analysis. Mark Thomas has had success gaining project approval from Caltrans District 4 using multiple approval processes, including the DEER process. Utilizing monthly meetings with Caltrans, We have successfully gained approval from Caltrans while maintaining an aggressive delivery schedule. We would develop a project schedule around submitting technical studies and environmental documents at regular intervals and use monthly meetings to keep Caltrans focused and on track with their review periods. This strategy keeps project momentum while gaining Caltrans approval on technical documents and reports “along the way”. When the final DEER is submitted, the supporting documents have already been approved by the Caltrans reviewing parties.

Our understanding is that this is not simply an isolated intersection improvement project. It is a safety-sensitive, multi-jurisdictional, Caltrans-facing assignment that must balance immediate pedestrian and operational needs with future corridor improvements already in motion along El Camino Real. While on the surface, the proposed intersection improvements do not seem complex, the multi-jurisdictional nature of this project requires diligent coordination.

The Town has previously identified that the project will have to integrate and coordinate an existing Caltrans Project (SHOPP Project), a Town stormwater and drainage project (ECR Stormwater and Drainage Project Phase 1), the Town ECR Complete Streets Planning Study and the ECR Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI) Action Plan. Diligent coordination with Caltrans, County of San Mateo, the City of Redwood City, the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, and related corridor initiatives will ensure that this project is developed in a manner that does not preclude future planned improvements and minimizes “throwaway” improvements and costs.

Our approach is focused on three key drivers that will influence the success of this project: enhancing safety and mobility, integrating drainage and corridor improvements, and efficiently navigating Caltrans approvals and project delivery.

Safety & Mobility Corridor Coordination & Future-Proofing Caltrans Approval & Delivery Through our review of the project requirements, existing conditions, corridor plans, and ongoing initiatives, we have identified the opportunities, constraints, and critical considerations that will shape the project. The following pages illustrate these project drivers and our approach to addressing each one.

EL CAMINO REAL/SELBY LANE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Town of Atherton

MARK THOMAS

PROJECT APPROACH

DELIVERING SAFE, CONTEXT-SENSITIVE MULTIMODAL INTERSECTION

SOLUTION
We will perform detailed traffic analysis and operational evaluation to compare traffic signal and PHB
alternatives, including safety performance, operations, and corridor consistency. Both alternatives will be
advanced to a level that supports confident decisionmaking.

Pedestrian Safety
As noted in the Town’s RFP, this intersection and
surrounding area has a history of incidents. With
the recent report of a hit and run incident at this
intersection, pedestrian and bicycle safety is one
of the primary focuses of the proposed intersection
improvements. We will design and incorporate
pedestrian safety improvements, including ADAcompliant curb ramps, bulbouts to shorten crossing distances, median refuges at crosswalks, improved
crosswalk visibility, and lighting upgrades.

Two of the four corners at this intersection do not
include any pedestrian facilities. ADA-compliant curb
ramps that fit within existing Town right-of-way will be constructed at these corners. Although the northeast
corner currently has an existing curb ramp, it will be
reconstructed to meet current ADA standards. This
particular corner is also a candidate for a bulbout
to shorten crossing distance across Selby Lane to
reduce the amount of time a pedestrian interacts with
motorized vehicles.

Coordination with the Complete Streets
Vision
The ECR Complete Streets Study advanced two
different corridor design concepts that will be
studied further, shown to the right. Although both
design concepts feature different configurations for
pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular cross-sections, they
both have in common that the limits of the pedestrian
improvements (back of sidewalk) locations are intended
to remain within existing right-of-way. The proposed
curb ramps and sidewalk improvements with the Selby
Lane Intersection project will be designed with the
Complete Street Study in mind. No improvements
will be proposed that preclude potential future
improvements. As shown in the images, thoughtful
placement of intersection improvements (ADA
curb ramps, sidewalk locations, traffic signal/PHB
pole locations) within existing right-of-way can
accommodate both Complete Street design concepts. ECR Complete Streets Study:

MARK THOMAS

Integration with Adjacent Projects
Our team has experience coordinating with concurrent Caltrans and local agency projects along shared corridors, including maintaining alignment with evolving designs and avoiding conflicts. In addition to the ECR Complete Streets Study, the Town has identified that there are other adjacent projects which will influence the design of the intersection improvements project. The Caltrans SHOPP Project (1W130 – 82 Bicycle Improvement Project), the El Camino Real Stormwater and Drainage Improvements Project – Phase 1 and the El Camino Real Grand Boulevard Initiative Action Plan either include the intersection with their improvements or are in very close proximity to the intersection. Similar to the Town’s Complete Streets Study, there will be overlapping elements or conflicting elements. Frequent and diligent coordination with these other projects is necessary to reduce the amount of project conflicts/throwaway and ensure smooth implementation and construction relative to adjacent improvements by others.

Caltrans State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) Project Caltrans is developing a SHOPP Project that is approximately 1.9 miles long. Improvements include ADA-compliant pedestrian facilities (curb ramps, sidewalks), intersection crossing improvements (crosswalks, traffic signals, PHBs) and bicycle facility improvements (bicycle lanes of various classes) with the intention of improving safety for all users. Mark Thomas has experienced planning and design local agency projects and coordinating improvements with Caltrans SHOPP projects. One important strategy we have utilized is to attend Caltrans SHOPP PDT meetings. This allows Mark Thomas and the Town the ability to stay informed of SHOPP project progress and changes while simultaneously keep Caltrans informed of local agency project progress. This has assured limited project overlap, conflicts and throwaway costs.

El Camino Real Stormwater and Drainage Improvements Project The Town has identified that they have an existing design for drainage improvements at the project location. They intended to remedy the flooding issue by installing a concrete line ditch/gutter that will direct drainage to a new inlet connecting to an existing drainage system. They will also demo an existing curb and construct a new curb that will help direct drainage to an existing inlet. To the extent practical, the intersection will attempt to reuse as much of the installed infrastructure as possible. Inlets will be considered when developing the new curb lines. If possible, existing inlet can be converted to manholes to preserve drainage junctions within the existing Town drainage system.

El Camino Real Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI) Action Plan SamTrans is planning for improvements along 25 miles of the ECR corridor.

The Town of Atherton and the project intersection is located within the project footprint. This project involves pedestrian, ADA, bicycle and transit improvements with the overall vision of a safer corridor for all users. Mark Thomas is currently under contract with SamTrans as the lead designer for this planning effort. As the lead designer for the GBI project and potentially the designer of the Town’s intersection improvements, Mark Thomas would be able to ensure that the Town is kept informed of project updates and that the GBI project receives Town intersection project updates.

Stormwater Treatment
New projects, when installing new impervious surfaces, are typically required to install stormwater treatment facilities (bioswales, bioretention areas etc). The amount of impervious surfaces being replaced with this project is very small and falls under the threshold for required stormwater treatment.

Future-Proofing
In addition to maintaining awareness of surrounding projects, our design approach is to incorporate strategies such as adaptable infrastructure and location-sensitive improvements. Forward thinking that brings high-value solutions for relatively low up front cost. As an example, constructing a traffic signal mast arm that could accommodate future signal heads. Or designing a traffic signal foundation that is capable of accommodating a future longer mast arm if the intersection were to be expanded with a future project.

Mark Thomas will
have the ability to
coordinate internally
about any potential
changes along the
ECR corridor as
they are happening
within SamTrans and
Caltrans. Instead of
reacting to decisions
that are being made
externally, concerns
that the Town can be
raised proactively to
other jurisdictions with
adjacent projects and
discussed/considered
sooner.

NAVIGATING CALTRANS APPROVALS THROUGH THE DEER PROCESS
Caltrans Processing
Caltrans approval is critical because the project is located at the intersection of Selby Lane and El Camino Real. They will be the oversight agency for project improvements in their right-of-way; and if federal funds are included, Caltrans is the acting Federal Lead Agency for processing and approving the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Categorical Exclusion. Based on Caltrans policy, there are three ways to obtain Caltrans approval: their Standard Process for oversight projects, a streamlined Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) process, and the Encroachment Permit process. The process selected will be based on project complexity and/or the cost of construction within the State right-of-way. These are summarized in the graphic as follows:

We recommend meeting with Caltrans early in the process to define the Caltrans approval process. Getting confirmation from Caltrans as one of the first orders of work sets expectations with Caltrans for the technical studies and reports required to gain project approval. This project meets all the requirements for the Caltrans DEER process.

In order to use the DEER process, we recommend the following:

1. Hold a meeting to discuss the project with appropriate Caltrans staff.

2. Submit a letter to Caltrans District 4 Director, Dave Ambuehl, requesting authorization to use the process. The letter must address how the project meets the
qualifications for the process as outlined
in Chapter 9 of the Caltrans Project
Development Procedures Manual.

3. Once Caltrans has approved the use
of the DEER process, a DEER with
supporting documentation must be
prepared and submitted to Caltrans.

The DEER document is a streamlined
version of the Standard Process. The
DEER is submitted to Caltrans and will be
conditionally approved to provide Project
Initiation Document and Project Approval
Document clearance. Final DEER
approval will be granted upon approval of
the final PS&E documents. Once all final
approvals are in place, Caltrans will sign
the approved DEER, which authorizes
the Caltrans office of Permits to issue a
construction Encroachment Permit.

Design Engineering Evaluation Report
It is expected that Caltrans will require the following supplemental studies to be included with the project
DEER application:
» Vicinity and Location Map
» Project Plans
» Right-of-Way Data Sheet (assumes no ROW acquisition)
» Initial Site Assessment
» Storm Water Data Report
» Environmental Document
In addition to the above required attachments, the
following attachments may also be applicable:
» Geotechnical Report
» Design Standard Decision Document
– While possible that this may be required, we do not
see any potential design features that would require
this document, and anticipate designing the project
to be in compliance with all applicable Caltrans
Design Standards, thus eliminating the need for this
document/process
» Complete Streets Checklist
» Transportation Management Plan (TMP)
» Traffic Impact Report
» Intersection Safety and Operational Assessment
Process (ISOAP)
» Cost Estimate
Traffic
We will coordinate early with Caltrans traffic safety staff and prepare supporting documentation that aligns with Caltrans expectations, reducing rework. The ISOAP consists of two stages. This project will be required to complete Stage 1 Screening but may be exempted from Stage 2 Detailed
Assessment. The two stages are described below:
» Stage 1 Screening applies to this project because the Town proposes to change the existing intersection
traffic control from minor approach STOP control to
a signal or pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB). Stage 1
is to be completed and is submitted as a technical
report attachment to the DEER. The Stage 1 ISOAP
stage and uses an assessment methodology focusing
on multimodal safety, e.g., Safety Performance
for Intersection Control Evaluation (SPICE) or Safe
System Intersection Methodology.
» Stage 2 Detailed Assessment may be undertaken if
there is more than one strategy identified out of Stage 1 Screening, e.g., full traffic signal, PHB and roundabout.

If required, Stage 2 is to be completed and requires
quantification of the project’s benefit / cost ratio. Our proposed budget limits our effort to mesoscopic traffic model software, i.e., Synchro / SimTraffic.

Stage 2 may be deleted if Caltrans accepts the findings of the Stage 1 Screening process to proceed with a traffic signal or PHB without further analysis of a roundabout or other intersection reconfiguration.

The Stage 1 assessment includes:
» Identification of desired project outcomes
» Assessment of non-motorized travel including crash
records and conformance with SSA principles of
modal separation
» Assessment of transit and freight access.
» Assessment of available right-of-way
» Estimated multimodal safety and delay under
proposed traffic control proposals
» Summary of the overall intersection measures of
effectiveness (MOE), e.g., daily person hours of delay
(DPHD), volume/capacity ratio, queuing, or another
measure as directed by the District Traffic Operations
Engineer
» Completed Stage 1 ISOAP form and supporting
documentation
The Stage 2 assessment includes:
» Identification of whether there is more than one
feasible improvement strategy (signal, PHB,
roundabout, or access change)
» Completion of a detailed safety analysis using
Highway Safety Manual methodologies and
supplemented by SPICE and SSA
» Operational analysis using traffic models
» Plan sketch diagrams of viable improvement strategies » Calculations of improvement costs and ROW impacts
» Calculations of the benefit to cost ratio (B/C) based on HSIP or other benefit calculation methodologies
» Completed Stage 2 ISOAP form and supporting
documentation
Maintain Momentum Through Proactive
Coordination
In order to keep the approval process on schedule, we
will establish regular coordination with Caltrans reviewers, track review timelines, and maintain communication
to keep approvals progressing. An effective strategy
for doing this that we have used with multiple Caltrans approvals is to establish a monthly PDT meeting with
the Caltrans PM and their functional unit reviewers. This consistent touchpoint allows the design team to monitor Caltrans’ progress on document reviews, and have an
open dialogue for any questions/comments, with the
intention of streamlining document reviews. This monthly touchpoint allows for a consistent event for conflict
resolution (if any), and allows for the Town and the design team to stress the importance of schedule and timely
reviews. While the Town and the design team cannot
dictate Caltrans’ timeline for reviews, this proactive
coordination and communication strategy allows for
consistent discussion with Caltrans reviewers.

EL CAMINO REAL/SELBY LANE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Town of Atherton

MARK THOMAS

MANAGING MULTI-JURISDICTION COORDINATION AND PUBLIC

ENGAGEMENT
The project requires coordination with multiple agencies and includes public outreach, stakeholder meetings, and environmental documentation. The Town will lead outreach, with consultant support.

Multi-Agency Coordination
The west side of El Camino Real is within the Town of
Atherton’s right-of-way while the east side of El Camino Real is within the County of San Mateo’s right-of-way.

The intersection being partially within two jurisdictions requires that the project team establish and maintain a protocol for multi-agency coordination. Mark Thomas
will facilitate and host regular coordination meetings with the Town and the County to ensure that both parties are consistently aligned with project decisions and informed of status within the Caltrans approval process.

Effective Public Engagement
One of the main elements to ensure the success of a
project is for the community to continue to support the project. Public outreach will be a critical component to inform members of the community about the project
and to receive feedback. The community is socioeconomically diverse and therefore so are their wants, needs, and opinions. Mark Thomas will support the
Town’s public outreach efforts by preparing clear, concise materials and support public meetings to communicate
project benefits, describe alternatives to stakeholders and note public comments and concerns.

Environmental Clearance
We will prepare the necessary CEQA/NEPA documentation and will seamlessly integrate the environmental and design processes to ensure consistency and efficiency. We anticipate the environmental clearance document will be a Categorical Exemption / Categorical Exclusion (CE/CE), and the environmental team will work closely with the design team to proactively identify design elements that may require a higher level of clearance, so the project design can be optimized to minimize environmental clearance requirements wherever possible.

Balance Design Advancement with Approval
Progress
Submitting technical documents and forms to Caltrans
as they are completed allows for the Caltrans review
team to review, comment and approve documents as
the schedule progresses. Waiting until the entire DEER
Application and supporting technical documents are
complete may create avoidable delays to the approval
schedule. Acquiring approvals of technical reports as
they are completed, streamlines the approval of the
final document. Instead of reviewing all documents at
once, the supporting technical documents to the overall DEER are already approved by the time the DEER is
submitted to Caltrans, significantly reducing the amount of time needed to approve the final document.

Drainage Constraints
The south west side of the intersection exhibits flooding issues in its current condition. As acknowledged above, the Town has an existing project in design that intends to address this drainage issue. The curb ramps and sidewalk in this area will be designed to maintain the existing
drainage pattern to reuse and preserve as much of the
drainage facilities installed with the Town Stormwater and Drainage Improvements project practical. The locations of the existing inlets will be considered when developing the new curb return alignments in the attempt to preserve the newly installed infrastructure.

MARK THOMAS

MANAGEMENT APPROACH
In addition to a sound technical approach, we have found that the cornerstone of a successful project delivery is for Mark Thomas and our team members to operate as a true extension of Town staff. Mark Thomas implements a proactive, collaborative approach to managing projects, with close attention to meeting design goals, budget constraints and schedule targets. We have developed a proven and effective management approach that will be utilized for this project, which includes:

Active Project Schedule Management. Maintaining an accurate, up-to-date project schedule is critical to the overall success of a project and has a direct correlation to maintaining project budgets. Our project manager, Alex Lee, will be responsible for controlling project design efforts and deliverables by developing a comprehensive critical path method (CPM) schedule that identifies all necessary tasks and interrelationships required for a project. To keep us on track and provide transparency across the project team we will be updating the schedule regularly to track progress closely.

Enhanced Communication with Team Members. Our clients can attest to our responsiveness, our proactive approach, and our ability to work collaboratively with agency staff. Establishing open channels of communication and building a strong working relationship between Town staff and Mark Thomas will enhance communication throughout the project. We will hold regular PDT meetings to report on and monitor progress. These meetings will include Mark Thomas, key Town staff, and other stakeholders. Progress and coordination meetings will follow a set agenda and will review action items and key milestones. Meeting summaries and action item lists will be distributed soon after the meeting. Mark Thomas will also be available to hold executive briefings (as needed) to inform the Public Works Director, the Town council, or other critical Town staff of project status and issues.

Effective Cost Control. Engineering design costs will be controlled through active management of design team activities, frequent monitoring of time spent and early identification of any design issue affecting project costs. Control of project costs and unnecessary design changes are also important elements of any project. It is our duty to inform the Town as soon as possible of any potential or proposed design revisions that will affect the established scope, schedule, or budget. Keeping all parties informed of any potential issues/changes in a timely and continuous manner through regular communication is vital to controlling cost and schedule. We intend to minimize impacts by identifying issues early in the process by conducting weekly budget reports so we can track costs against our progress in real-time and adjust before issues arise. This approach has been effective on many recent projects.

Auditable QA/QC Documentation. Mark Thomas believes that QA/QC is a company-wide effort. A QA/QC person will develop and oversee our QA/QC program for this project. All team members will adhere to this Plan and each of our team members supports the idea that it is our responsibility to produce high-quality products that will result in developing a clearly-defined and cost-effective project. We will operate under a Total Quality Management system of which a specific QC Plan is only a part of the overall system. The Total Quality Management program is a continuous process, used not just at project milestones, but on a regular basis.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
At Mark Thomas, we are proud of our success delivering thoughtful, context-sensitive transportation improvements in communities with high expectations for design quality, safety, and minimal disruption such as Atherton. Our experience includes multimodal corridor enhancements, bike/pedestrian improvements, and multi-jursidictional projects that require careful coordination with agencies, stakeholders, and the public. The following projects reflect work similar in scale and complexity to the Atherton effort and demonstrate our ability to develop solutions that enhance mobility while respecting community character and environmental constraints.

Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI)
San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties
The Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI) is a coalition of 14 cities, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, two transit agencies, two congestion management agencies, Caltrans, and regional and local stakeholders. Mark Thomas has been very involved with SamTrans, Caltrans and multiple cities in implementing the GBI vision, which is to help El Camino Real (SR 82) achieve its full potential as a place for residents to work, live, shop and play by creating links between communities and providing facilities that promote walking, bicycling, and transit use. Mark Thomas has designed several GBI projects to revitalize the ECR corridor, providing conceptual design, environmental clearance, PS&E, and construction support. Design goals include complete street concepts, expanded bike lane and pedestrian facilities, green infrastructure design, and aesthetic improvements. Each project required extensive coordination with Caltrans, host, and adjacent cities.

Grand Boulevard Initiative Phases I, II, and III, City of South San Francisco - As part of the GBI, Mark Thomas provided PID and PA&ED approval, PS&E, and design support during construction for the improvements to El Camino Real at the Arroyo Drive intersection to Chestnut Avenue (Phase I), from McLellan Drive to Kaiser Way (Phase II), and Arroyo Drive to Kaiser Way (Phase III) in South San Francisco. The projects include providing shorter, more direct and visually enhanced crosswalks with sidewalk bulbouts, median refuge areas, landscaped medians, new vegetated bioretention area, ADA curb ramp improvements, and upgraded traffic signals with pedestrian countdown features. The bus stops were replaced with wider bus bulbs for

improved access and gathering areas. Bicycle access was accommodated with striped shoulders and bike pockets extending down to the Chestnut/Westborough intersection. Mark Thomas prepared a DEER to secure Caltrans’ approval of the proposed design for the Phase III improvements. Phase I, II, and III are all constructed.

El Camino Real/28th to 31st Avenue Streetscape (ECR Master Plan), City of San Mateo - As part of the GBI to revitalize the ECR corridor, Mark Thomas prepared the PS&E for enhancements along ECR between 28th and 31st Avenue including: a new curbed median with trees and low-growth landscaping, a new irrigation system, sidewalks, median refuge areas, pedestrian-scale lighting, and traffic signal modifications. The new decorative pedestrian lighting and landscaped median along the length of the project helped to create a new identity for the area, inviting increased bicycle activity with a fresh pavement overlay and new striped shoulder. The project transformed both 31st and 28th Avenues into “themed” intersections with enhanced crosswalk paving treatments, streetscape features and furniture that compliment and further the vision and goals to upgrade ECR into a Grand Boulevard. Mark Thomas assisted the City in obtaining the federal E-76 approval for construction funding including approval of fact sheets, right-of-way certification and encroachment permit. Construction was completed in summer 2013.

El Camino Real/Arroyo Avenue Intersection, City of San Carlos - Mark Thomas provided final PS&E for complete streets and multimodal streetscape enhancements at the ECR/Arroyo Avenue intersection funded through a One Bay Area Grant (OBAG). Improvements included high-visibility crosswalks, widening sidewalks with bulbouts and new curb ramps, roadway restriping, a new plaza area, and replacing the ECR southbound left-turn lane with median trees/landscaping and a median pedestrian refuge. Accessible pedestrian push buttons and countdown features are incorporated for the traffic signal, new pedestrian scale lighting, new streetscape furniture, and a plaza gathering area will also be added. A new bus bulb and shelter will enhance transit facilities while striped shoulders will better accommodate bicyclists along ECR. This project will also serve as a model for incorporating the vision of the GBI into future projects along the ECR corridor. Mark Thomas assisted the City with the E-76 funding application, public meeting, and construction support, and worked collaboratively with Caltrans to get environmental clearance and approval of fact sheets, PEER, right-of-way certifications, and encroachment permit.

El Camino Real/Stanford Avenue Intersection Streetscape, City of Palo Alto - Mark Thomas worked collaboratively with the City of Palo Alto, Stanford University, Caltrans, and local businesses to redesign a multimodal, pedestrianand bike-friendly intersection that meets Caltrans safety standards while enhancing aesthetics. We secured federal E-76 approval for construction funding and managed all civil design, including street geometry, sidewalk bulb-outs, utility relocations, decorative signals and lighting, drainage improvements, and landscaping. Key features include a landscaped median, plaza seating, and traffic-calming measures such as narrowed lanes and ornamental streetscape elements. Traffic calming measures were designed to offer visual cues to drivers that they are entering an area of increased pedestrian activity and are encouraged to drive more carefully. The intersection improvements provide more safety for pedestrian and bicycle crossings. Mark Thomas managed the environmental consultant in preparation of CEQA/NEPA compliance documents. NEPA memos were required by Caltrans Local Assistance for equipment staging, traffic, tree removal, water quality, and hazardous materials.

Crawford & Associates: Geotechnical investigations, hazardous materials screening, pavement assessment, and preliminary geologic/seismic evaluation.

AR/WS: Right-of-way impact analysis, acquisition planning, property ownership research, utility coordination support, and planning-level ROW cost estimating.

Treat Boulevard Corridor Improvements
Walnut Creek
Mark Thomas is providing civil, traffic, and geotechnical engineering design services to the Contra Costa County Public Works Department (CCCPWD) for improvements along Treat Boulevard from North Main Street in Walnut Creek to Jones Road in unincorporated Contra Costa County, spanning approximately 2,400 feet. This project is focused on advancing multimodal safety, connectivity, and corridor efficiency by reconfiguring the roadway to reduce vehicle weaving conflicts associated with free right-turn lanes while enhancing access between the Contra Costa Centre Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and the existing Class II bicycle network.

Treat Boulevard currently operates as a high-volume regional arterial providing direct access to I-680, but its auto-oriented design presents significant safety and mobility challenges for non-motorized users. With a posted speed limit of 35 mph, heavy peak-hour traffic, and roadway segments ranging from eight to nine lanes, pedestrians and bicyclists face substantial barriers. Wide intersections requiring crossings of 60 to 145 feet increase exposure and delay, while existing Class III bicycle facilities require cyclists to share lanes with highspeed traffic, resulting in reduced comfort and elevated collision risk.

The proposed improvements will address these deficiencies by implementing a Class I shared use path and Class IV buffered bicycle lanes, achieved through lane reconfiguration, removal of free rightturns, curb reconstruction, and restriping. Additional elements include ADA-compliant curb ramp upgrades, modification and relocation of three traffic signals, and signal timing optimization to improve corridor operations in both directions. The project will also require significant utility coordination and relocation. Coordination with the City of Walnut Creek and Caltrans will be critical, as the project will be delivered in accordance with the Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) process, supporting streamlined approvals and successful project implementation.

Windsor Downtown Bicycle and Pedestrian
Crossing
Windsor
Mark Thomas completed the 30% design for the Old Redwood Highway Bike/ Pedestrian Crossing project for the Town of Windsor (Town). The existing condition of the Old Redwood Highway consists a of one-way bike lane (Class II) in both directions. The existing pedestrian facilities are sidewalks within the underpass separated from the road by grade, structural columns and a chain link fence. On the north side of Old Redwood Highway, there are existing retaining walls under the structure that vary from three to six feet in height. The south side of the underpass has a concrete curb that separates the sidewalk from a slope paving. This project proposes to construct new retaining walls to widen the sidewalk area to accommodate a two-way protected bicycle path and separate pedestrian area. Other improvements include a planted buffer between the existing roadway and the proposed bicycle facility. Mark Thomas also reviewed whether a two-way protected bicycle path is needed on both sides of the roadway or on the northside only. The project includes coordination with Caltrans and submitting a DEER Process confirmation letter. Ultimately, Caltrans determined the project to be more appropriately processed through the PSR-PR process.

I-280/Westborough Interchange
South San Francisco
Mark Thomas is currently supporting the Project Initiation Document (PID) phase for the Junipero Serra Boulevard and I-280 Westborough Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity and Safety Project. This phase builds on the foundation established during the feasibility study, which focused on enhancing multimodal transportation access and improving safety for cyclists and pedestrians along Junipero Serra Boulevard, Westborough Boulevard, and the I-280 interchange. The project is divided into four segments: Junipero Serra Boulevard, Westborough Boulevard (East and West), and the I-280/Westborough Boulevard Interchange, each designed to incorporate Complete Streets principles and minimize environmental impacts.

During the feasibility study, Mark Thomas led efforts in data collection and analysis, developed a comprehensive project base map, and identified conceptual alternatives for corridor improvements. Our team prepared refined geometric designs, conducted constructability assessments, and developed cost estimates for selected alternatives. We also analyzed regional, state, and federal funding opportunities for highway, safety, and active transportation improvements, evaluating the project’s competitiveness for these programs.

Building on this work, Mark Thomas is now advancing the PID phase by refining concepts, coordinating with Caltrans and local stakeholders, and preparing documentation for PSR-PDS to help advance to the PA&ED phase. Our approach combines technical expertise, environmental compliance, and strategic planning to deliver safer, more connected corridors for all users while positioning the project for successful funding and implementation.

Bolinas Lagoon Wye Wetlands
Marin County
Mark Thomas provided professional engineering services for the Bolinas Lagoon Wye Wetlands project in Marin County, which included the redesign of a critical bridge structure and roadway improvements at the intersection of SR 1 and Olema Bolinas Road. The project supported the restoration of Bolinas Lagoon’s wetland and riparian habitat, improved fish and amphibian passage, and raised the roadway and bridge to accommodate nearly six feet of anticipated sea-level rise. As one of only 37 ramsar-designated wetlands in the U.S., Bolinas Lagoon provides over 1,100 acres of critical habitat for migratory birds, Central California Coast Steelhead trout, black rail, and the California red-legged frog. Coordination with Caltrans, Marin County Parks, County Public Works, and resource agencies has been essential to the project’s success.

The redesigned bridge consisted of a three-span post-tensioned concrete slab with a thicker superstructure, discontinuous catcher bent caps, and vertical restraining pins to address seismic and tsunami hazards. It is designed to accommodate up to five meters of fault rupture and tsunami wave loading associated with a 5% probability in 50 years event. The abutments are short diaphragm types without foundations, with spans 1 and 3 cantilevered from Piers 2 and 3. Foundations for these piers use largediameter cast-in-drilled-hole piles designed for tsunami-induced scour.

Mark Thomas conducted an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) at the SR 1 and Olema Bolinas Road junction, developed preliminary construction phasing and cost estimates, and prepared 30% and 60% PS&E packages for roadway improvements. The team also participated in progress meetings with Caltrans, Marin County, and other stakeholders to support project development and coordination. The roadway design was closely integrated with the environmental goals of the project, balancing transportation safety, sea-level rise adaptation, and ecological restoration.

Crawford & Associates: provided geotechnical and hazardous materials services, including site assessments, subsurface and soil investigations, engineering geology evaluations, and analysis of settlement, liquefaction, contamination, and other project constraints to support design and permitting.

The project received Caltrans approval through the DEER process.

SR 116/West Cotati Avenue Reconfiguration
Project
Cotati
Mark Thomas is providing preliminary engineering services to assist the City of Cotati (City) in developing a vision for a safer, connected, cohesive SR 116 corridor from Alder Avenue to Redwood Drive.

Scope of work includes the development of a conceptual plan and preliminary engineering to help the City set expectations with adjacent developments and share with other stakeholder groups and processes in such a way to anticipate the upcoming countywide active transportation plan.

Mark Thomas subsequently developed the 35% plans and accompanying construction cost estimate and initiated the Caltrans DEER approval process. The project will widen Highway 116 on both sides of the proposed intersection to create new turn pockets to increase safety and reduce backup along the mainline due to vehicle queuing. The improvements also include the installation of bicycle and pedestrian features to improve community connectivity and safety as Highway 116 is a busy regional highway with no pedestrian or bicycle crossings west of Redwood Drive.

MARK THOMAS

Mark Thomas will send “A Letters” on Town letterhead to utility companies with facilities in the project area project, requesting updated copies of their existing facility maps.

Mark Thomas will prepare updated existing base utility
mapping.

Encroachment permit applications will be prepared on
Town letterhead for submittal to Caltrans and San Mateo County for field work that will include visual observations of the project area.

Task 2.2 Right-of-Way Survey
Mark Thomas will perform a field survey to locate the
necessary monumentation to establish the right-ofway lines of El Camino and Selby Lane in Atherton. Our research indicates that Parcel Maps (PM), Records of
Survey (RS) & Tract Maps (TM) are publicly available from the San Mateo County Surveyors office will be sufficient to complete this survey. It is our understanding that no other monument ties to other maps will be necessary to
complete this project other than those publicly available.

Should a material discrepancy be found or evidence of a dispute with adjoiners be discovered, Mark Thomas will
stop work under the current scope and discuss options
with the Town to move forward. Once the locations of
the right-of-way lines are established based on the field evidence collected, Mark Thomas will plot this boundary in a CAD file that will serve as the basis for design. Mark Thomas assumes current title reports will be required
to show the locations of easements. Mark Thomas has
included the acquisition of 4 preliminary title reports at a cost of $750 per report. Only easements shown in the
title reports will be mapped. It is assumed that boundary evidence necessary to define the boundary will be readily available. This Boundary Survey scope is limited to one (1) days of fieldwork.

It is assumed no right-of-way or easement acquisitions
will be required for the project.

Task 2.3 Topographic Survey
Mark Thomas will perform a field survey to establish
control to facilitate topographic surveys of the site.

Inter-visible local project horizontal control (NAD83) and vertical control (NAVD88) will be established within each segment based on existing monument networks and
benchmarks. Control point coordinates, basis of bearings and coordinates, and benchmark notes will be provided
to show on final plans.

In addition, Mark Thomas will collect pertinent
accessible above ground features that will be located
and documented using conventional ground survey
techniques. Ground visible features to be captured
include, but are not limited to sidewalks, curb and gutter, driveways, curb ramps, fences, private utilities, storm and sewer facilities, trees, street lighting, signing, striping, and markings within the project limits. Storm and sewer will be dipped to determine invert elevations and pipe diameters within the streets around the site. Field crews will rely upon markings on utility feature lids. No utilities will be dipped other than sewer and storm. Detailed topographic surveys are limited to two (2) days of field work for a 2 person crew.

TASK 3. FINALIZE

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

DOCUMENTS
Task 3.1. Finalize Conceptual Design
Documents (Geometric Approval
Drawings)
Working with the Town and our Design Team, we
will review and refine develop potential intersection
configurations for the Selby and ECR Intersection.

We will explore different combinations of geometric
configurations (sidewalk, crosswalk, median refuge, curb ramp) and both intersection traffic control devices. We will provide a qualitative assessment of the feasibility and appropriateness of the various combinations of
inputs. Conceptual designs will be presented as technical geometric approval drawings (GADs).

Based on the feedback in response to the presented
conceptual design alternatives, we will refine up to two alternatives. For each alternative, we will conduct an
operational and safety assessment and summarize
results (e.g. LOS summary, queueing reports, conflict
analysis, etc.) in a graphic or table for Town review. The results of this analysis will be used to inform a selection of a preferred alternative and inform the Caltrans ISOAP Report to the extent feasible. We will also prepare a rough order of magnitude cost estimate for each alternative to understand relative costs between alternatives.

Ahead of beginning the DEER process, the preferred
alternative will be selected and featured as the single alternative for the DEER application.

item; it will include traffic analysis and will inform the PS&E development tasks. Parametrix will prepare the
supporting technical analyses and documentation
materials required by Caltrans. We will evaluate the
proposed intersection improvements and respond to
feedback received from the Town and Caltrans District 4 staff.

The ISOAP consists of two stages. This project will be
required to complete Stage 1 Screening but may be
exempted from Stage 2 Detailed Assessment. The two
stages are described below:
» Stage 1 Screening applies to this project because the Town proposes to change the existing intersection
traffic control from minor approach STOP control to
a signal or pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB). Stage
1 is to be completed at the current Project Initiation
Document (PID) stage and uses an assessment
methodology focusing on multimodal safety, e.g.,
Safety Performance for Intersection Control Evaluation
(SPICE) or Safe System Intersection Methodology.
» Stage 2 Detailed Assessment may be undertaken
if there is more than one strategy identified out of
Stage 1 Screening, e.g., full traffic signal, PHB and
roundabout. Stage 2 is to be completed at the Project
Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED)
phase and requires quantification of the project’s
benefit / cost ratio. Our proposed budget limits our
effort to mesoscopic traffic model software, i.e.,
Synchro / SimTraffic.

MARK THOMAS

» Stage 2 may be deleted if Caltrans accepts the
findings of the Stage 1 Screening process to proceed
with a traffic signal or PHB without further analysis of a roundabout or other intersection reconfiguration.

The Stage 1 assessment includes:
– Identification of desired project outcomes.
– Assessment of nonmotorized travel including crash
records and conformance with SSA principles of
modal separation.
– Assessment of Town and freight access
– Assessment of available right-of-way
– Estimated multimodal safety and delay under
proposed traffic control proposals.
– Summary of the overall intersection measures of
effectiveness (MOE), e.g., daily person hours of
delay (DPHD), volume/capacity ratio, queuing, or
another measure as directed by the District Traffic
Operations Engineer.
– Completed Stage 1 ISOAP form and supporting
documentation.

The Stage 2 (optional task) assessment includes:
– Identification of whether there is more than one
feasible improvement strategy (signal, PHB,
roundabout, or access change)
– Completion of a detailed safety analysis using
Highway Safety Manual methodologies and
supplemented by SPICE and SSA
– Operational analysis using mesoscopic traffic
models, e.g., Synchro software.
– Plan sketch diagrams of viable improvement
strategies
– Calculations of improvement costs and right-ofway impacts – Calculations of the benefit to cost ratio (B/C) based on HSIP or other benefit calculation methodologies.
– Completed Stage 2 ISOAP form and supporting
documentation.

Parametrix will provide the analysis to Caltrans District ISOAP Coordinator, District Traffic Ops Engineer,
and District Traffic Safety Engineer and respond to
their feedback to update the draft products to a final
assessment.

Parametrix has budgeted updated 12-hour multimodal
traffic counts across two days at the study intersection.

DELIVERABLES
» ISOAP Stage 1 and Stage 2 (optional task) forms with
sketches, cost estimates, and operational analysis
(model worksheets)
» Coordination with Public Outreach process

ASSUMPTIONS
» One draft and one final submittal of the ISOAP Stage 1 and Stage 2 forms resulting from up to two rounds of
Caltrans District 4 review
» Budgeted effort assumes traffic signal or PHB as a
near-term improvement with operational modeling
limited to Synchro / SimTtraffic modeling. Detailed
analysis using microsimulation (e.g., VISSIM), long
range travel demand forecasting, and detailed
roundabout modeling are subject to additional cost
Task 5.1.7. Traffic Operations Analysis Report
(TOAR)
Once up to two alternatives have been identified,
Parametrix will analyze each alternative for existing
conditions, the opening year and the design year
(20 years after the opening year), to help identify the preferred alternative and meeting the requires for
Caltrans approval and the need to demonstrate project
benefits through the life of the project.

Once the preferred alternative has been identified and
the Caltrans DEER process has been begun, Parametrix
will utilize the traffic data from the ISOAP process and prepare a Traffic Operation Analysis Report (TOAR)
satisfying typical Caltrans District 4 requirements. The operational analysis will consider existing conditions, opening year conditions, and the dear year conditions. A draft TOAR will be submitted to District 4 for review and comments. After receipt of comments on the Draft TOAR,
a response to comments matrix will be prepared and a
Final TOAR will be produced for Caltrans Approval.

Task 5.2. Caltrans Permitting
Task 5.2.1. Pre-Permit Screening and Meeting
We anticipate this Project will be subject to a Design
Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) process. This is
the applicable Caltrans process assuming the following
bullets are all met with the project:
» Project has approved environmental document
(Categorical Exemption/Categorical Exclusion,
Negative Declaration, EIR, EIS etc.) or project is
categorically exempted/excluded by CEQA and/or
NEPA and has completed studies or public outreach.
» Project only has a Single-Build Alternative
» Project does not require CTC action

EL CAMINO REAL/SELBY LANE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Town of Atherton

from the Department to the local agencies (e.g.
dedications, relinquishments, modifications to State
ROW limits, etc.)
» Project doesn’t require FHWA approval for
Relinquishments or NPRCs involving a modification to
the access control
» Project doesn’t involve construction of new structures or bridge widenings
After the conceptual design is finalized (Task 3), the
Design Team will schedule and attend a meeting with
Caltrans to verify the project is subject to a DEER
process. At this meeting, we will present our approach to deliver the technical studies identified in Task 5.2 – 5.8, and clarify any scope of work and process related items necessary to secure Caltrans approval for the project
improvements.

TASK 6. ENVIRONMENTAL

DOCUMENTATION
Task 6.1. Environmental Clearance
Mark Thomas will prepare a combined CEQA
Categorical Exemption/NEPA Categorical Exclusion
(CE/CE) using the most recently available form from
the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER).

We anticipate that the project, due to the limited nature of improvements which are assumed to be within the
existing right-of-way, will qualify for a Class 1 exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Existing Facilities.

This section covers alterations to “existing highways
and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety), and other alterations”.

We anticipate the project will qualify for a NEPA CE
under Section 177.117 of the CFR, subsection (c)(22),
which covers project within the existing right-of-way.

Because of the type and location of improvements,
and the proposed DEER process, we anticipate that no
detailed technical reports will be required, and that “no effect” memoranda will be prepared for biological and
cultural resources. A CHRIS and Sacred Lands search
will be completed to support the cultural resources
memorandum. Mark Thomas will prepare a draft CE
checklist and attachments and will respond to up to
three rounds of comments before finalizing. We will also provide a Notice of Exemption and summary form for
Caltrans to file with the State Clearinghouse.

LITIGATION
Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. operates throughout California and has average annual billings exceeding $50 million over the past five years. The firm has no litigation currently pending that would impact its ability to perform or discharge contractual obligations if awarded this contract.

From time to time, Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. has been involved in claims or litigation typical of firms providing professional engineering and construction management services on complex public infrastructure projects.

These matters have included allegations related to constructability, grading or drainage performance, right-of-way discrepancies, utility work, or third party incidents occurring during construction. The majority of these matters were non-litigated claims that were either resolved through settlement, abandoned by the claimant, or closed without admission of fault.

A limited number of matters proceeded to litigation, generally involving third party injury or property damage claims during construction activities. These cases were resolved through settlement and are now closed. Importantly, no matters resulted in findings that adversely affected the firm’s professional qualifications, licensure, or ability to deliver services, and none remain open as litigation.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
Mark Thomas has reviewed the “Town of Atherton Standard Professional Services Agreement” in the RFP. If selected to work on this project, we would like the Town to consider the following modifications.

16. CONSULTANT TO PROVIDE INSURANCE:

The required Commercial General Liability ($5M/$10M) and Automobile Liability ($5M) limits reflect constructioncontractor risk, not professional design services—where the principal exposure is errors and omissions, already covered by the $2M Professional Liability policy. Industry-standard limits for design consultants and their subs are $1M/$2M CGL and $1M auto; many specialty subconsultants carry only those amounts and would have to buy umbrella coverage to reach $5M, narrowing the qualified pool and raising cost to the City for no added protection.

We have agreed to these limits in past agreements.
» Commercial General Liability Insurance: $5M/$10M
» Business Automobile Liability: $5M
