Subject: 5801 Christie Avenue Transportation Operations Assessment Amendment Dear Shauna,
Thank you for inviting Fehr & Peers to perform additional analysis for the 5801 Christie Avenue project in the City of Emeryville. We understand that the City would like to include the Emeryville Loop project identified in its draft Active Transportation Plan update as part of the 5801 Christie Avenue project. The Emeryville Loop project would modify the roadway in the vicinity of the project through construction of new two-way Class IV separated bikeway facilities, one new midblock crossing, and dedicated transit lanes.
As a part of the active transportation and transit improvements, operations for vehicles in the loop would be converted to one-way. Shellmound Street would become one-way northbound between Christie Avenue and Shellmound Way, Shellmound Way would become one-way westbound, and Christie Avenue would become one-way southbound between Shellmound Way and Shellmound Street. The dedicated transit lane within the loop would connect to new transit only-lanes on Powell Street and at the Interstate 80 interchange.
Original scoping of operational analysis for the 5801 Christie Avenue project in 2022 assumed the use of multimodal traffic counts and Vissim microsimulation networks developed in 2019 as part of the Onni Christie Mixed-Use project. However, the inclusion of the major infrastructure improvements represented by the Emeryville Loop and stabilization of a “new normal” in traffic patterns following the Covid-19 pandemic necessitates the collection of new multimodal traffic counts to represent existing conditions, intersection volume forecasts that account for mode shift resulting from the Emeryville Loop improvements, and updates to the microsimulation networks to reflect the new existing conditions and project definition.
The following scope of work has been prepared based on conversations with City of Emeryville staff and builds upon the scope of work contained within our contract dated December 15, 2022.
SCOPE OF WORK
We will complete the following tasks as part of this scope of work.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B76E2D1-4829-4E2C-A765-8889DC7B2137 Shauna Wright
April 27, 2023
Task 1 – Data Collection
Fehr & Peers will obtain weekday morning (7:00 AM to 9:00 PM), weekday evening (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM), and Saturday afternoon (2:00 PM to 4:00 PM) peak period intersection turning movement counts, including a separate count of vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and trucks, at the 22 study intersections identified in the 5801 Christie – Transportation Analysis Assumptions (February 23, 2023) memorandum, as well as the Shellmound Street/Ohlone Way intersection. Additionally, we will conduct field observations during the peak periods for the purposes of validating the microsimulation model, including lane utilization, vehicle queue spillback, and saturation flow rates.
Task 2 – Trip Generation and Distribution
Fehr & Peers will estimate the net new automobile trip generation for the project for the Saturday peak hour consistent with the trip generation approach presented in the 5801 Christie – Transportation Analysis Assumptions (February 23, 2023) memorandum, as well as trip estimates for walking, bicycling, and transit.
In addition, separate multimodal trip generation estimates for the project that consider the effect of the Emeryville Loop and other planned multimodal improvements in the vicinity on project mode share will be developed for the daily, AM, PM, and Saturday peak periods.
Vehicle trip distribution and assignment for the Saturday peak period will be estimated based on the relative location of complementary land uses, existing traffic patterns in the vicinity of the site, area traffic congestion, and the relative locations of freeway on- and off-ramps.
Task 3 – Intersection Volume Forecasts
Development of multimodal turning movement volume forecasts during the AM and PM peak hours at the study intersections was included in the original scope for the following scenarios:
• Existing Conditions – Based on traffic data collected for Onni Christie Mixed-Use project • Existing Plus Project Conditions (No Loop) – Existing Conditions plus traffic expected to be generated by the project
• Near-Term Conditions – Existing Conditions plus traffic generated by other pending projects expected to be developed in the next 5 to 10 years and changes to traffic patterns and intersection signalization resulting from implementation of the Emeryville Quiet Zone Study • Near-Term Plus Project Conditions (No Loop) – Near-Term Conditions plus traffic expected to be generated by the project
For this amended scope of work, Fehr & Peers will update Existing Conditions to reflect data collected in Task 1, develop Saturday peak hour multimodal volume forecasts for the above four scenarios, and develop AM, PM, and Saturday peak hour forecasts for the following scenarios:

April 27, 2023
• Existing Plus Project Conditions (With Loop) - Existing Conditions plus traffic expected to be generated by the project and changes to automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic patterns resulting from implementation of the Emeryville Loop
• Near-Term Plus Project Conditions (With Loop) – Near-Term Conditions plus traffic expected to be generated by the project and changes to automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic patterns resulting from implementation of the Emeryville Loop
Assumptions for potential mode shifts that could be expected from construction of the loop will be discussed with City staff and based on a variety of data inputs, including the regional travel model, national research, and existing multi-modal counts. The resulting forecasts for all modes will consider the potential for some people who currently drive through the area to shift to transit, walk or bike modes, and for the potential of latent walking and biking demand as the loop project would provide a regional benefit and help to better connect people to the Bay Bridge Bike Trail and other destinations.
Task 4 – Operations Analysis
Fehr & Peers will evaluate intersection operations, including level of service (LOS) and vehicle queues, for the study intersections during the AM, PM, and Saturday peak hours under the scenarios described in Task 3 using a Vissim microsimulation network to analyze intersection operations of the 20 study intersections included in the Vissim network developed for the Onni Christie project in addition to the Shellmound Street/Ohlone Way intersection and the Synchro software to apply Highway Capacity Manual Sixth Edition methodologies for the other two study intersections. The analysis results can be used to help inform design features of the Loop, including potential signal operations for transit vehicles and bikes, as well as storage requirements for all travel modes. The analysis results and recommendations will be included in a memorandum summarizing all non-CEQA analysis conducted for the project.
LEVEL OF EFFORT AND SCHEDULE
With the inclusion of new data collection, incorporation of a Saturday analysis, and addition of the Loop Scenarios, a budget amendment of $99,655 is requested, which reflects replacement of Task 3a from the original scope of work. This would bring our total fee to $202,055, and increase our contingency to $25,256, including the $5,050 EIR contingency. The contingency would only be used upon receiving authorization from City staff for tasks outside this scope of work.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B76E2D1-4829-4E2C-A765-8889DC7B2137 1 Scope of Work Modification for 5801 Christie Avenue Project Emeryville, California
Prepared for Urban Planning Partners – 6 June 2023
Project Understanding
Baseline Environmental Consulting (Baseline) has prepared the scope of work modification below based on the addition of the Christie-Shellmound Loop (the Loop) to the 5801 Christie Avenue Project in Emeryville, California (project). Baseline will assist Urban Planning Partners (UPP) in the preparation of an Initial Study/15183 Exemption for the proposed project. We understand that the proposed project would include the construction of a multi-story research and development building, a multi-story parking garage, and multi-story residential buildings, and the Loop which would include intersection upgrades and bike, pedestrian, and transit improvements.
Baseline will evaluate potential impacts associated with air quality, greenhouse gases, energy, noise and vibration, hydrology and water quality, geology, and hazardous materials. Baseline assisted in preparation of the 2019 EIR for the previous project proposed at this location by the Onni Group. It is Baseline’s intention to rely on the setting and impact analyses included in those draft EIR sections to the extent feasible, modifying and updating them, as needed, to be applicable and appropriate for the new project proposal. Baseline assumes there would be up to two rounds of administrative review and up to two phone calls with UPP, the City, and/or the applicant.
Air Quality
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to air quality.
Based on the preliminary review of the project, the primary air quality concerns will be related to the net increase in emissions of criteria air pollutants and the exposure of existing nearby receptors (e.g., residences) to toxic air contaminants (TACs) during project construction and operation. The project would emit diesel particulate matter (DPM), a type of TAC, from dieselpowered construction equipment and operation of emergency diesel generators during operation.
Potential air quality impacts will be assessed in accordance with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD’s) CEQA Air Quality Guidelines. Because the proposed project exceeds the BAAQMDS’s screening criteria, the net emissions of criteria air pollutants during project construction and operation will be estimated using the most current version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). It is assumed that the project applicant will provide a detailed construction equipment list for the Loop improvements, including the type, DocuSign Envelope ID: 47226473-7107-4095-9471-C8871F5BE7A4 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B76E2D1-4829-4E2C-A765-8889DC7B2137 2 22225-00 UPP Christie Ave Scope mod.docx
quantity, and duration of construction equipment use.
Health risks associated with DPM emissions during project construction and operation will be discussed qualitatively based on the assumption that the project will implement conditions of approval that require the use of best available technology to reduce health risks to the maximum extent feasible and comply with the City’s Genal Plan policies to reduce air quality impacts to a less-than-significant level.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In accordance with BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, Baseline will analyze the project’s consistency with the California Air Resources Board’s 2022 Scoping Plan and the City’s Climate Action Plan. The project design will also be compared to the BAAQMD’s thresholds of significance, which includes the exclusion of natural gas appliances and plumbing, reductions in project-generated vehicle miles travelled below the regional average, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Conditions of approval will be identified (if any) to reduce any potentially significant impacts to less-than-significant levels. It is assumed that a detailed traffic analysis that evaluates the project’s vehicle miles travelled relative to the regional average will be provided to Baseline. It is also assumed that a written description of any proposed energy-saving features that are proposed to be included in the project design will be provided to Baseline.
Energy
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to energy resources. Baseline will summarize the project’s proposed energy-saving features, projected energy consumption, consistency with applicable energy efficiency policies and standards, and the potential need for new energy supplies or facilities to serve the project. It is assumed that the applicant will provide written descriptions of any proposed energy-saving features.
Noise and Vibration
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to noise and vibration. Noise and vibration generated during project construction could expose nearby sensitive receptors to levels that exceed the standards specified in the City of Emeryville General Plan and Municipal Code. Noise impacts could also occur during operation of the proposed project because of the potential increase in vehicular traffic and stationary equipment.
The primary sources of existing ambient noise levels in the project vicinity are from I-80 and Union Pacific Railroad and Amtrak train activity. Baseline will provide a quantitative analysis of the noise levels that would be generated by the project’s off-road construction equipment.
Noise and vibration levels from other sources (e.g., vehicles and HVAC units) will be discussed qualitatively and Baseline will identify conditions of approval to comply with the City’s General DocuSign Envelope ID: 47226473-7107-4095-9471-C8871F5BE7A4 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B76E2D1-4829-4E2C-A765-8889DC7B2137 3 22225-00 UPP Christie Ave Scope mod.docx
Plan policies to reduce noise and vibration impacts to a less-than-significant level.
Hydrology and Water Quality
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to hydrology and water quality. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the project site is not located in a flood hazard zone. Construction of the proposed project (including the Loop) would disturb potentially contaminated soils, resulting in the potential for erosion and mobilization of contaminated sediments in stormwater runoff. Dewatering of excavations may be required during construction. If not properly managed, discharge of contaminated dewatering effluent could adversely affect receiving water quality. Creation of new impervious surfaces could alter drainage patterns and increase the rate and volume of stormwater runoff from the project site to existing stormwater drainage systems. Baseline will analyze potential impacts related to hydrology and water quality that may result under development of the proposed project.
Construction activities would be required to comply with the State Water Board’s Construction General Permit for stormwater discharges. The proposed project would also be required to comply with the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, which includes the incorporation of post-construction stormwater management measures to manage and treat stormwater prior to discharge. Baseline will describe the construction-period and post-construction stormwater controls that are applicable to the proposed project. Conditions of approval will be identified, as needed, to reduce any potentially significant impacts to less-than-significant levels, if feasible.
Geology and Soils
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to geology, soils, and paleontological resources. The analysis will include an overview of the environmental setting and regulatory framework. The project site is located in a seismically active region.
Although the project site is not mapped within an Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone by the California Geologic Survey, a significant earthquake on one of the regional faults near the project site will likely produce strong ground shaking during the life of the project. The project site would not be subject to landslides or substantial soil erosion because the site and surrounding areas are generally flat. The project site is mapped in a liquefaction hazard area by the California Geologic Survey.
Construction of the Loop would occur in areas with different geologic conditions from the 5801 Christie Avenue site, therefore Baseline will need to describe additional geologic setting information, and potential impacts related to geologic conditions and paleontological resources could vary between the Loop and 5801 Christie Avenue site. It is assumed that a new geotechnical report (specific to the new proposed project) will be completed by the applicant and made available to Baseline for review. Based on review of the geotechnical study and other available reports and maps, Baseline will evaluate potential impacts related to geology, soils, DocuSign Envelope ID: 47226473-7107-4095-9471-C8871F5BE7A4 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B76E2D1-4829-4E2C-A765-8889DC7B2137 4 22225-00 UPP Christie Ave Scope mod.docx
and paleontological resources. Conditions of approval will be identified, as needed, to reduce any potentially significant impacts to less-than-significant levels.
Hazardous Materials
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials. The project site (including the Loop) is located in a historically industrial area where the shallow subsurface consists of potentially contaminated fill that was historically placed in the San Francisco Bay. Previous soil and groundwater investigations conducted on the 5801 Christie Avenue site in 2005 and 2015 detected petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals in the soil and groundwater. In addition to the soil and groundwater impacts, methane has been documented in the soil gas in the Emeryville area.
Baseline will review and summarize the findings of previous environmental investigations performed at the project site. Baseline will also identify potential concerns associated with demolition of the existing buildings (e.g., lead paint, asbestos, and polychlorinated biphenyls) and the routine transport and use of hazardous materials during construction and operation.
Conditions of approval will be identified, as needed, to reduce any potentially significant impacts to less-than-significant levels.
We understand that additional environmental investigation and remediation of the 5801 Christie Avenue site would be performed under the oversight of the Department of Toxic Substances Control. Our scope and budget assumes that any environmental investigation related documents (e.g., investigation workplans or reports) for the project site that would be discussed in the Initial Study would be made available to Baseline prior to performing the Initial Study analysis. If additional environmental investigation related documents are provided to Baseline after preparation of the Initial Study has commenced, then revisions to the Initial Study would be required, and a budget modification may be required to address such revisions.
Our scope of work and budget assumes that a Remedial Action Workplan (RAW) or similar remediation plans for the project site would not be available prior to preparation of the Initial Study, and therefore the Initial Study would not include the review of a RAW or similar remediation related documents. It is also assumed that a new Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (specific to the Loop) will be completed by the applicant and made available to Baseline for review.
