The PIP awards grant funds based on an applicant’s Prohousing Designation Program score and population size. Total potential award amounts are determined by adding an applicant’s “base award amount” with a “bonus award amount”. The base award amounts are based on population estimates as of January 1, 2025, and the City of Emeryville is eligible for a base award of $150,000. Bonus award amounts are calculated by multiplying an applicant’s Prohousing Designation score by 10,000, up to a maximum of $500,000 and Emeryville is eligible for a bonus award of 500,000. Therefore, the maximum amount of PIP funding the City could receive is $650,000.
Eligible uses of PIP funding include:
▪ The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to extremely low- , very low-, low-, and moderate-income households, including necessary operating subsidies.
▪ Affordable rental and ownership housing that meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120 percent of area median income, or 150 percent of area median income in high-cost areas.
▪ Matching portions of funds placed into local or regional housing trust funds. ▪ Matching portions of funds available through the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 34176 of the California Health and Safety Code.
▪ Capitalized reserves for services connected to the creation of new permanent supportive housing, including, but not limited to, developments funded through the Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Bond Act of 2014 (Proposition 41).
▪ Assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, navigation centers, emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.
▪ Accessibility modifications.
▪ Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes. ▪ Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance.
▪ Fiscal incentives or matching funds to local agencies that approve new housing for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households.

DISCUSSION
The City is seeking PIP funding to preserve the 45th Street Artist Cooperative, an existing affordable limited-equity ownership housing development. As noted above, eligible uses of the funds include affordable rental and ownership housing that meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120 percent of area median income, or 150 percent of area median income in high-cost areas.
The 45th Street Artists Cooperative was founded in 1973 and is comprised of three warehouse buildings converted into 56 live/work studios for low-to-moderate income visual artists, musicians, choreographers, writers, designers and craftsmen. Pursuant to the Land Lease and Owner Participation Agreement for the development, no less than 51% of the units are required to be occupied by Low Income Households and the remaining units shall be occupied by Moderate Income Households. No existing resident shall be denied continued ownership because the household income increases above moderate income.
The 45th Street Artist Cooperative has reached out to the City seeking financial assistance related to long-term maintenance and capital improvement needs within the three buildings over the next five years. The 45th Street Building has a projected funding shortfall of $693,865, while the Horton and Holden buildings are expected to have enough reserves to cover the identified repairs.
Alignment with Housing Element Policies and Programs
The 2023-2031 Housing Element adopted by the City Council on December 12, 2022, includes the following policies and/or programs that PIP funds would support:
▪ Policy H-2-1. Facilitate the rehabilitation of the City’s existing housing stock to correct housing deficiencies, increase the useful life and increase accessibility for all residents.
▪ Policy H-3-1. Utilize available federal, state, and local financing sources and subsidies to assist in making housing more affordable to very low-, low- and moderate-income households.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A THIRD
AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH
DIABLO ENGINEERING GROUP FOR COSTS FOR ADDITIONAL
SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE 40TH STREET MULTIMODAL
PROJECT, AND INCREASING THE TOTAL CONTRACT
COMPENSATION BY $1,437,285.00 FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $5,010,280.84
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the above-entitled resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Third Amendment to the Professional Services Contract with Diablo Engineering Group for costs for additional services associated with the 40th Street Multimodal Project which include additional environmental documentation and construction support, and increasing the total contract compensation by $1,437,285.00, for a total contract amount not to exceed $5,010,280.84.
BACKGROUND
The 40th Street Multimodal Project (“Project”) is a significant initiative undertaken by the City of Emeryville to improve transportation conditions for bus riders, pedestrians, and cyclists. The Project focuses on the redesign of 40th Street and Shellmound Street, as well as sections of San Pablo Avenue and adjacent unsignalized side streets intersections. The aim of the Project is to enhance connectivity, safety, and efficiency for all modes of transportation. This Project holds significant importance as 40th Street is a vital multimodal connector, providing access to employment, essential services, and regional transit hubs including the MacArthur BART Station and the Bay Trail.
The Project includes a number of multimodal improvements including:
▪ Dedicated transit lanes along portions of 40th Street ▪ A two-way separated Class IV bikeway
▪ Intersection safety improvements and traffic calming measures ▪ Enhanced pedestrian facilities
▪ Improvements connecting the corridor to regional destinations including the MacArthur BART Station and the Bay Trail.
40th Street Multimodal Project – Diablo Engineering Group 3rd Amendment City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
The City Council approved the conceptual design for the project on March 3, 2020 (Resolution No. 20-017) and directed staff to advance the project through final engineering design and environmental review.
In August 2022, the City issued a Request for Proposals for professional design services for the project and subsequently entered into a Professional Services Contract with Diablo Engineering Group, which was executed on January 13, 2023.
As the project progressed, the City Council took several actions relating to the Project scope and design:
▪ On July 18, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 23-106, authorizing additional design work related to the analysis and design of unsignalized intersections along the north side of 40th Street.
▪ On the same date, the City Council approved Resolution No. 23-107, authorizing additional scope of work for Phase 2 of the Project, which extends the multimodal improvements along Shellmound Street to close a gap in the Bay Trail network. ▪ Also on July 18, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-108, authorizing the First Amendment to the Professional Services Contract with Diablo Engineering Group to incorporate the additional scope described above and increase the contract amount.
As the Project continued to advance through engineering design and grant development, the City Council later adopted Resolution No. 24-141 on November 19, 2024, authorizing the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Contract with Diablo Engineering Group to provide additional services including environmental documentation, grant support, and continued Project development.
These prior Council actions established the project scope and advanced the design process that has resulted in the Project now nearing completion of environmental review and final engineering design. Since approval of the Second Amendment, the project has progressed through the CEQA environmental review process, completed AB 52 tribal consultation, and is nearing completion of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental review process through Caltrans. As the Project moves toward construction readiness, additional consultant services are required to finalize environmental documentation, prepare bid-ready Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E), and provide support for project delivery.
DISCUSSION
Need for Third Amendment
During the course of environmental review and final design development, several additional tasks were required that were not included in the previous contract amendments. A reallocation of the consultant’s costs was required because the environmental review, grant coordination, and design refinements required significant consultant effort, and a portion of the consultant hours originally budgeted for final 40th Street Multimodal Project – Diablo Engineering Group 3rd Amendment City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
design completion and construction support were utilized to address these expanded tasks.
A third contract amendment for an additional $1,437,285 is requested to provide additional consultant services necessary to complete environmental clearance, finalize design, and prepare the Project for construction. The largest cost drivers associated with the amendment are tribal consultation and cultural documentation, final design revisions required to respond to environmental review and stakeholder input, and additional design services required to prepare the Project for construction.
These additional tasks were primarily driven by regulatory review requirements, coordination with external agencies and utilities, expanded environmental documentation associated with federal funding, and additional engineering analysis needed to address stakeholder input and constructability considerations. As the Project advanced through environmental clearance and detailed design, these efforts required consultant services beyond those originally anticipated in the previous contract amendments.
The additional scope of work can generally be grouped into the following categories:
CEQA Environmental Review ($40,568)
Preparation of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) required substantial coordination between the City, the consultant team, and regulatory agencies. In addition to preparing the environmental document, the consultant team assisted staff in managing the 45-day public review period, organizing comment letters, and preparing a comprehensive Response to Comments (RTC) document addressing all substantive environmental comments received. The expanded level of documentation and response preparation required additional consultant hours beyond those originally anticipated.
This work included:
▪ Preparation and circulation of the draft IS/MND
▪ Technical analysis supporting environmental findings
▪ Compilation and organization of comment letters
▪ Preparation of written responses to environmental comments ▪ Coordination with City staff and legal counsel regarding CEQA compliance NEPA Environmental Clearance ($65,991)
Because the project includes federal funding sources, it must also comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The NEPA review process is administered by Caltrans as the federal lead agency and requires additional technical documentation and coordination beyond the CEQA process. These federal environmental review requirements resulted in additional consultant effort not fully anticipated in the original design contract.
40th Street Multimodal Project – Diablo Engineering Group 3rd Amendment City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
Additional consultant services were required to:
▪ Prepare documentation necessary for Caltrans environmental review ▪ Address comments received from Caltrans District 4 and Caltrans Headquarters ▪ Coordinate revisions to project plans and environmental documentation to ensure compliance with federal environmental requirements
▪ Prepare supporting materials required for final NEPA clearance Tribal Consultation ($338,000)
As part of the environmental review process, the City conducted consultation with Native American tribes pursuant to Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52). This consultation resulted in additional coordination and documentation requirements, including modifications to certain project design elements and preparation of supporting technical documentation.
In addition, the consultant team will subcontract with tribal representatives to perform pre-construction cultural research, reporting, and participation during project development, which requires additional budget beyond the original contract scope.
The consultant team provided assistance with:
▪ Coordination with tribal representatives
▪ Preparation of supporting environmental documentation ▪ Development of mitigation measures and monitoring requirements ▪ Coordination of design adjustments associated with tribal consultation outcomes Plan Revisions and Design Coordination Resulting from Environmental Review and Public Outreach ($228,110)
During the environmental review process and ongoing stakeholder outreach, staff received comments from residents, businesses, and public agencies that required evaluation and, in some cases, design refinements. The consultant team assisted the City in reviewing these comments and developing design revisions to address operational concerns while maintaining the project’s safety objectives. These design refinements required additional engineering analysis beyond the scope of earlier contract amendments.
Examples of this work included:
▪ Evaluation of loading and drop-off areas along the 40th Street corridor ▪ Analysis of circulation and access considerations raised by stakeholders ▪ Preparation of revised designs reflecting approved signal foundations ▪ Coordination with City staff to ensure revisions remained consistent with the environmental document and project goals
Constructability Review and Utility Coordination ($102,918) As design progressed toward final engineering plans, additional coordination was required to address constructability considerations and conflicts with existing utilities, including coordination with the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). These 40th Street Multimodal Project – Diablo Engineering Group 3rd Amendment City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
efforts were necessary to ensure the project can be constructed efficiently and without conflicts with existing infrastructure.
This work included:
▪ Review of utility conflicts identified during detailed design ▪ Coordination with EBMUD regarding water infrastructure located within the project corridor
▪ Adjustments to design elements to accommodate utility infrastructure and maintain constructability
▪ Preparation of revised plans reflecting these adjustments Grant Applications and Grant Management ($130,985)
Since execution of the original professional services contract, the City has successfully pursued and secured eight separate grant funding sources totaling approximately $31.9 million to support implementation of the 40th Street Multimodal Project. These highly competitive state, regional, and federal grants have significantly expanded the scope of the project and enabled the City to deliver a much larger set of transportation improvements than originally anticipated.
Each of these grant programs carries specific documentation, reporting, and coordination requirements that require consultant assistance to ensure compliance with funding agency requirements. The consultant team has supported the City in preparing grant applications, coordinating with funding agencies, and ensuring that project documentation and design elements meet the technical and administrative requirements of these funding programs.
As additional grant opportunities became available and funding was secured, the scope of consultant services expanded to include:
• Preparation of supporting materials for grant applications • Coordination with regional, state, and federal funding agencies • Documentation required to satisfy grant program requirements • Collection and documentation of baseline bicycle and pedestrian traffic counts required to satisfy Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant reporting requirements • Ongoing grant management, reporting, and coordination with funding agencies These grant-related efforts have significantly expanded the scope of consultant services relative to the original contract, as the project evolved to incorporate additional improvements supported by newly secured funding sources.
Reallocation of Consultant Effort ($531,713)
Because the environmental review, grant coordination, and design refinements described above required significant consultant effort, a portion of the consultant hours originally budgeted for final design completion and construction support were utilized to address these expanded tasks.
40th Street Multimodal Project – Diablo Engineering Group 3rd Amendment City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
As a result, additional consultant services are required to complete final design activities, prepare the project for advertisement for construction bids, and provide engineering support during construction. The proposed Third Amendment establishes additional scope and budget necessary to complete these remaining tasks and successfully deliver the 40th Street Multimodal Project.
This work includes:
▪ Final design revisions resulting from environmental review and public outreach
▪ Caltrans processing and approvals
▪ Utility coordination and documentation
▪ Final PS&E preparation
▪ Design Services During Construction
STRATEGIC PLAN CONNECTION (IF APPLICABLE)
▪ Top priorities 2025 – 2026: Bicycle and pedestrian focused projects (i.e. 40th Street redesign and Ashby interchange)
FISCAL IMPACT
The Third Amendment increases the consultant contract amount by $1,437,285.
Funding for this amendment will be provided by existing funding available within the project from the following sources:
Fund Amount
1999 Bay Street – Shellmound Capital
Project Fund (Fund 441)
$1,072,000
1999 Revenue Bond (Fund 444) $55,284
Developer Contribution Fund (Fund 473) $310,001
Total $1,437,285
Following approval of this amendment, the total compensation authorized under the Professional Services Contract with Diablo Engineering Group will increase from $3,572,995.84 to $5,010,280.84, representing approximately 15 percent of the project’s total budget of $34.1 million. For complex urban transportation projects, engineering design and project development costs commonly range between 10 and 20 percent of total project costs, particularly when federal funding, environmental review under both CEQA and NEPA, and extensive stakeholder coordination are required. The consultant scope for the 40th Street Multimodal Project includes not only engineering design services but also environmental documentation, tribal consultation coordination, traffic operations analysis, grant development and management for multiple funding programs, and design refinements resulting from regulatory agency review and public outreach. 40th Street Multimodal Project – Diablo Engineering Group 3rd Amendment City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
These additional responsibilities expanded the consultant scope beyond traditional design services and reflect the complexity of delivering a major multimodal corridor improvement in an urban setting.
Adequate funding is available within the Project budget to support this amendment. No additional funds are being added to the Project as a result of this amendment.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the above-entitled resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Third Amendment to the Professional Services Contract with Diablo Engineering Group for costs for additional services associated with the 40th Street Multimodal Project which include additional environmental documentation and construction support, and increasing the total contract compensation by $1,437,285, for a total contract amount not to exceed $5,010,280.84.

Subject: PROPOSAL – 40th Street Transit- Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Dear Mr. O’Connell:
Diablo Engineering Group (Diablo) is excited to provide this proposal for the City of Emeryville 40th Street Transit- Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project. Diablo Engineering Group is a Civil Engineering company that was founded in the City of Oakland on September 27, 2014, as a corporation, tax identification number 47-1437252, by Jennifer Harmon, PE and Garrett Gritz, PE. Bringing collectively over 50 years of experience, services are primarily associated with the planning and preparation of final design plans for civil engineering and transportation engineering focused infrastructure improv ements, with a special emphasis on delivering expert project management and program management services to public agencies throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Jennifer and Garrett have vast transportation planning and final design engineering experience, including managing multi-agency and multi-discipline teams of consultants through the design and approval processes. Foundational to the services provided by Diablo are delivering clients with exceptional personal service. Diablo is excited about the opportunity of delivering our expertise and personal service to the City of Emeryville. Diablo will be able to strongly support the City of Emeryville with the proven approach of organization, responsiveness, and attention to detail. The work will be performed at the primary office location, 1300 Clay Street, Suite 600, Oakland, CA 94612. The primary contact is Jennifer Harmon per this letterhead.
Diablo Engineering Group has included four highly qualified and strategic subconsultant partners on the team. Ms. Harmon has very recently managed this same team on the Lakeside Drive and Lake Merritt Boulevard Cycletrack Project and the East Bay Greenway Segment II Project, both for the City of Oakland.
Members of this team have already earned an excellent reputation of working collaboratively with City of Emeryville team members recently on the 40th Street and San Pablo Bus Hub and Complete Streets Redesign and the Quiet Zone Safety Engineering Measures on 65th, 66th, and 67th Streets Projects.
Please see the representative projects as well as the individual resumes to understand how this local team has been working very closely together. This entire team is also comprised of Alameda County local businesses, two Alameda County Transportation Commission ( Alameda CTC) local certified businesses and two Alameda CTC very small local certified businesses. Further, Diablo is one of the Alameda CTC certified very small local business No. DIA20200326- 03, so we will have no problem meeting their small local and local goals if this need arises.

Jennifer and Garrett have learned firsthand the importance of promoting and implementi ng win-win partnerships between clients, strategic partners and community members. These effective partnerships, combined with technical and personal communication across a project team, create the necessary synergy and teamwork that are needed to complete successful projects. The Diablo Team has successfully delivered numerous planning and design services associated with:
Designing pedestrian and bicycle facilities
Streetscape designs, including C.3 landscaping
Preparing precise grading/ improvement plans
Performing/ facilitating community engagement meetings
Designing new or modified traffic signal designs
Designing street and pedestrian lighting and photometric analysis As well, the Diablo Team has managed supporting subconsultants with expertise in environmental clearance, surveying, right of way, topographic mapping, soil investigation and geotechnical analysis.
I am an avid cyclist, often riding throughout Contra Costa and Alameda County and have worked closely with Bike East Bay on controversial challenges on various projects, including Detroit Avenue Complete Streets, 880 North Safety Improvements Project At 29th and 23rd Avenues, and City of Oakland Broadway/ Keith Avenue to Golden Gate Way Bike/ Pedestrian Project. From the perspective of the cyclist alone, these projects could have made additional improvements specifically for cyclists, however, safety for all users, including pedestrian, vehicular traffic and transit must also be closely weighed. I understand the concerns of various street users and am intimately familiar with current Caltrans, AC Transit, NACTO and MUTCD guidance. I have been in challenging conversations with bicycle advocates, and in the end, collaboration prevailed by balancing safety and operational improvements for all modes of mobility.
As Principal, Jennifer Harmon is authorized to negotiate on behalf of Diablo Engineering Group and to sign any contract that may result from this proposal. I have received the Questions and Answers to the RFP dated September 15, 2022.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal for 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project. Please contact me at (510) 550-8959, Jennifer@diabloengineeringgroup. com for any communication regarding this proposal and/ or interview process, as necessary.
Sincerely,
Diablo Engineering Group

Project Description and Location:
Under an on-call contract for the City of Oakland, Diablo Engineering Group lead the Team that prepared 35%
Conceptual Design Plans, environmental assessment,
pavement design, final Plans, Specifications, and
Estimates ( PS& E) for improvements along Lakeside Drive and Lake Merritt Boulevard in the City of Oakland. The
proposed work required approval from AC Transit as this project incorporated a bus only lane. This is an important route connecting to AC Transit’ s new bus rapid transit facilities on International Boulevard.
Goals of the project were to add traffic calming measures with the road diet, improve the pavement conditions,
incorporate cycletrack facilities, and incorporate on-street ADA accessible parking into the project. The City’ s ADA Coordinator had been hearing many complaints about the limited consideration for on-street ADA accessible parking involved in bicycle facilities projects and had many concerns about handicap community member’ s being able to properly access the sidewalks with parking across from the protected bicycle facilities.
Given the community desire to quickly see improvements and the opportunity to incorporate all of the project goals through the City’ s paving program, the City wanted construction documents ready within six months to get the project constructed in summer of 2022. The City’ s Bicycle & Pedestrian Program reviewer personally sent Ms. Harmon a note saying, “ Really appreciate all you and the team’ s work on this complex project!”

Under an on-call contract for the City of Oakland, Diablo Engineering Group lead the Team that prepared 35% Conceptual Design Plans, special Federal Transit Administration ( FTA) categorical exemption ( CE) environmental assessment, hazardous materials investigation and findings, utility locating and potholing, final Plans, Specifications, and Estimates ( PS& E) for improvements along San Leandro next to the BART tracks in the City of Oakland. The proposed work required approval from FTA and BART. This is an important second segment to the East Bay Greenway that will ultimately connect to the Bay Trail. The nature of this East Bay Greenway project has many similarities to the City of Emeryville 40th Street project.
Goals of the project were to provide a protected multi-use path along San Leandro Street between Seminary Avenue and 69th Avenue adjacent to the Coliseum BART Station. The first segment of East Bay Greenway included continuous fencing between the path and the vehicular roadway with no “ green” improvements. There is also no fencing at the back of the path and several homeless encampments have developed along the path. To avoid this, at the urging of Ms. Harmon, the segment II design narrows the vehicular lanes and incorporates a landscape buffer with trees between the path and vehicles. In addition, fencing is incorporated at the back of path to reduce the area available for other activities.
Diablo also provided final design for class II bike lanes to connect the block between 69th Avenue and 75th Avenue, directly in front of the BART station, connecting Segment I to Segment II of East Bay Greenway.
These projects are a part of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities ( AHSC) grants where Ms. Harmon has assisted the city in managing and designing this program for more than 4 years.

Services: Community Outreach, Pedestrian & Bicycle Path, Traffic Calming, C.3 Design, Caltrans Permitting Project Description and Location:
Under an on-call contract for the City of Oakland, Michael Baker International ( formerly RBF Consulting) with Diablo Engineering Group management ( Jennifer Harmon) prepared an Alternatives Analysis, 35% Conceptual Design Plans with community outreach, and under a separate contract, final Plans, Specifications, and Estimates ( PS& E) for improvements along Broadway from Keith Avenue to Golden Gate Way in
the City of Oakland. The proposed work required an
encroachment permit from Caltrans as it is immediately
adjacent to the on and off ramps for SR-24. The design team delivered the final construction punch list and attended the ribbon cutting for the project, receiving much praise.
Goals of the project were
to add traffic calming
measures, incorporate
bike lanes, and improve pedestrian accessibility as there are two schools in close proximity to the project. In addition, the design team was requested to address access to private properties that had not previously been addressed at the time of the preliminary settlement agreement concepts. The design team provided alternatives for standard bike lanes and for a cycle track.
Although the pedestrian and bicycle coordinator at the City was not supportive of the cycle track alternative at first, the design team demonstrated the benefits in removing conflicts with the freeway on and off ramps and providing for a protected area for bicyclists separate from pedestrians, while still providing clean conforms back to the standard bike lanes. The City pedestrian and bicycle coordinator became “ excited about implementing this design.” Fehr and Peers assisted Diablo in providing an intersection treatment that provides options to cyclists and proper transitioning along with signal operations and timing to serve the various vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian users.

Services: Street and Intersection Improvements ( Freeway and Local), Planning, Environmental, Geotechnical, Contaminated Materials, Bicycle and Pedestrian Enhancements, Utility, Right of Way, and Structural Design Project Description and Location:
Interstate 880 in downtown Oakland was
originally constructed in the mid-1940s, prior to
the publication of the Caltrans Highway Design
Manual ( HDM). The existing mainline freeway,
bridge overcrossings ( non-standard vertical
clearances), and on-ramps and off-ramps
interchange spacing) were not compliant with
the HDM. The Alameda County Congestion
Management Agency ( subsequently the
Alameda CTC), Caltrans, and the City of Oakland recognized the importance of improving this segment of I-880 in downtown Oakland. In addition, the local community encouraged elected officials to re-direct regional vehicles out of the residential neighborhood and construct a soundwall to reduce noise impacts on the neighborhood and provide safe pedestrian and bicycle enhancements.
Mr. Gritz and Ms. Harmon managed the preparation of a combined Project Study Report ( PSR)/ Project Report ( PR) and Environmental Document ED). After achieving the required PSR schedule and securing Federal Trade Corridor Improvement Fund (TCIF) funding, the client selected the team to prepare the PR, ED and final plans, specifications and estimates , and construction support. This complex two interchange project includes the new 29th Avenue first roundabout at on-ramp in the Bay Area. ACTC, Caltrans, and the City of Oakland have expressed appreciation for the history and consistency provided by Mr. Gritz and Ms. Harmon. In addition, Bike East Bay commended the team for working with them on a contract change order to enhance the bike improvements to preferences created during construction of the project. Ms. Harmon continues to provide right of way close-out services to the project scheduled to be completed in 2022.

PROJECT APPROACH
APPROACH TO LOW- STRESS URBAN BIKEWAY PROJECTS
The Diablo Engineering Group Team has developed a thoughtful approach and will implement a creative design strategy to deliver final designs for the 40th Street Transit- Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project. As we have implemented on previous low-stress urban bikeway projects, there are several key components to implementing our proven comprehensive approach. The Diablo Team will provide:
Exceptional Client Communication
Collaborative Design Team Solutions
An Understanding of Community and Stakeholder Goals
Cost Effective Design Solutions
Fulfillment of Budget and Schedule Requirements through Prioritization The Diablo Project Manager, with proven teamwork support from established subconsultant experts, will definitively provide the City with the above noted key project priorities. After fully understanding the details of the City priorities, the Diablo Project Manager will implement the following:
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
The management approach is crucial to the City obtaining the best maintainable built project at completion. The Diablo Team management approach has proven to be effective in meeting or exceeding client goals for completing the PS& E process, often ahead of schedule and within client approved budgets.
Our approach is consistent, and our managers are prepared to work in partnership as an extension of the City staff. We foresee our process as follows:
Understand and implement all city planning documents to ensure adherence to the City’ s design concept and planned criteria;
Early recognition of project issues to avoid engineering, maintenance, budgetary or scheduling difficulties;
Develop design conditions and criteria that follow the approved city codes/ standards, environmental criteria and current urban bikeway standards by Caltrans, National Association of City Transportation Officials ( NACTO) and MUTCD – note any necessary deviations will be discussed and documented;
Develop designs that are consistent with established goals and identify cost savings for alternatives ( Value Engineering);
Employ standard concepts to provide long term ease in city maintenance to preserve budget expenditures;
Meet and coordinate all engineering hardscapes and landscape with the City’ s Public Works maintenance personnel to ensure overall ease of future facility maintenance; Assist the City in the public outreach process that is crucial to obtaining geometric approval; Manage and coordinate with all sub-consultants on a weekly basis to keep the project team informed of deadlines;
Develop preliminary and final design for review by the city at the 35%, 65%, 95%, 100% and final stage of PS& E preparation;
Obtaining geometric approval at 35% is crucial to efficient production of final design; Provide final PS& E drawings for City Council approval and contract bidding; DocuSign 6876764F7468DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: AA11BE2C- 2C4FB8D9- 93F4- D954-4455- 4527-81C0- B1FE-F42A6E79B7ED Proposal - 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Project Approach 9
Provide QA/ QC and Value Engineering to all stages of PS& E development to promote cost savings and constructability review; and
Provide monthly Progress Reports to City staff to fully describe the PS& E development.
BUDGET MONITORING AND PRIORITIES
The Diablo Team has extensive experience managing large complex projects involving multiple tasks, subtasks and subconsultants. Diablo will provide the City with a monthly progress report ( narrative and financial) in a format consistent with the City’ s expectations. Said progress report will identify percent compete on all of the tasks and subtasks so that the City’ s Project Manager can easily review the progress to date. If project priorities change and/ or additional services are required, reporting will be thorough such that the City PM will be able to easily report the current status of design development.
COMMUNICATION IS KEY
Communication between the City of Emeryville and Diablo is paramount to a successful project. Diablo understands that direction may change through the course of a project. We are available for a face to face meeting, as well as e-mail, texting, and telephone. The Project Manager, Ms. Harmon, is extremely responsive and will be responsible for providing the City frequent progress reports for all project tasks.
APPROACH TO 40TH STREET TRANSIT- ONLY LANES AND MULTIMODAL ENHANCEMENTS PROJECT In particular, the Diablo Team will collaborate with the City Team to implement the following design and coordination items for the Project.

2. Environmental ( Lead by Gail Ervin of NCE)
2.1. Review Existing Project Environmental Approvals: NCE will review past actions by the City related to the environmental clearance of the Project. The Project is currently cleared through CEQA, and NCE will confirm that no changes in circumstances or project design would alter the previous determination.
DocuSign 6876764F7468DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: AA11BE2C- 2C4FB8D9- 93F4- D954-4455- 4527-81C0- B1FE-F42A6E79B7ED Proposal - 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Project Approach 11
2.2. Prepare Memo of NEPA Environmental Recommendations: NCE will prepare a memo that explains the options for the City as it relates to pros and cons of seeking NEPA environmental clearance with consideration to funding opportunities for future phases of the Project.
2.3. Pavement Investigation and Design: Because the existing pavement appears to be in good condition, the pavement investigation is intended to understand subsurface conditions for planned excavations within the roadway and pavement design is intended to address areas where pavement reconstruction section design is required for concrete bulbouts and planned excavations. This scope is not intended to address project- wide pavement resurfacing design.
NCE will collect pavement section core samples ( 4” – 8” diameter cores) on the Project section at locations determined by the design team. Our current fee estimate assumes up to 8 core locations that we estimate will take 2 days to complete. For each core sample, NCE will measure and record the thickness and material type of each layer encountered in the pavement structural section, including the presence of any pavement reinforcing fabric.
Bulk samples of subgrade will be obtained in support of potential street reconstruction. We will collect bulk samples of subgrade materials at the core locations for laboratory testing such as Rvalue, moisture content and Atterberg Limits ( plasticity index) determinations. Our current fees assume up to 4 bulk samples will be obtained for testing. The presence of AB will be measured at all cores. A dynamic cone penetrometer may also be advanced at critical core locations to estimate AB and subgrade layer properties.
NCE will apply for and obtain a no fee encroachment (or similar) permit from the City prior to starting the pavement coring. Preparation of individual traffic control plans for coring is assumed not to be required.
Using the coring and subgrade data, NCE will perform pavement analysis and design services and develop pavement reconstruction, and as needed resurfacing, recommendations. NCE will perform its analysis in accordance with the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. NCE will develop pavement structural section recommendations expressed in the form of a Traffic Index (TI) that will be provided by the City.
NCE will then summarize its recommendations in a Pavement Design Technical Memorandum to the City that, at a minimum, will include the following:
Results of coring and laboratory analyses
Description of testing procedures and analysis performed for the project Recommended alternatives for pavement reconstruction and potential resurfacing NCE will submit an electronic copy of its draft technical memorandum to the City for initial review.
Upon receipt of any comments from the City, NCE will then prepare its final technical memorandum, which will be signed and stamped by NCE’ s Pavement Engineer. A reproducible copy of the final technical memorandum will then be provided to the City reflecting any comments on the draft technical memorandum.
2.4. Optional NEPA Clearance Assuming Caltrans Funding: If Caltrans funding is available, NCE will draft a Preliminary Environment Study (PES) and prepare and submit the request for a Field Review by Caltrans District 4. Following the field review, Caltrans determines the DocuSign 6876764F7468DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: AA11BE2C- 2C4FB8D9- 93F4- D954-4455- 4527-81C0- B1FE-F42A6E79B7ED Proposal - 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Project Approach 12
environmental studies required to achieve NEPA clearance. Based on our experience and preliminary review of the environment and resources near the proposed project area, we have included in this scope and fee the technical studies that we anticipate will be required by Caltrans, as outlined in the following tasks. However, should Caltrans require a NEPA document other than a categorical exclusion, or additional technical studies other than those listed in the deliverables below (i.e., Phase I ESA), NCE can provide these services for additional scope and fee.

3. Traffic Impact Assessment ( Lead by Rob Rees of Fehr & Peers) Fehr & Peers will rely on the VISSIM microsimulation model developed for the 40th and San Pablo Bus Hub Project to evaluate how the project affects to multimodal transportation. The model also includes San Pablo Avenue between Park and Adeline Streets so that those corridor improvements can be incorporated.
DocuSign 6876764F7468DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: AA11BE2C- 2C4FB8D9- 93F4- D954-4455- 4527-81C0- B1FE-F42A6E79B7ED Proposal - 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Project Approach 13
The effects of the project on the existing circulation system are best evaluated against the existing pre- or post- COVID) conditions because stakeholders and the public at-large have a solid understanding of the existing environment and can therefore understand how the project would change conditions.
The traditional approach, calculating 10- or 20-year forecasts and designing the street based on the forecasts, introduces uncertainty into the design and community members have a difficult time understanding the project’ s impact on the transportation network because forecasted conditions are difficult to visualize and connect with today’ s transportation environment. Traffic forecasts have also been proven to be “ unreliable” and in all instances they are “ unconstrained”.
Forecasts are “ unreliable” in the sense that it is common for forecasts to be as much as 30 or 40 percent too high. Telegraph Avenue in Oakland is a good example of this phenomenon. City staff Jamie Parks and Jason Patton) researched historic traffic trends on Telegraph Avenue and determined that traffic levels in the 1980s were like traffic levels in the 2000s. Yet, environmental studies during these same periods forecast traffic growth of 1 to 2 percent per year. As a result, streets were being design for traffic forecasts that never occurred.
Unconstrained” forecasts mean that the analyst assigns 100% of the calculated traffic growth to the street network. The reality is that nearby major corridors such as I -80, Ashby Avenue, and San Pablo Avenue are already heavily trafficked and cannot carry more “ peak hour” traffic than what exists today. Analysists then design streets assuming that all 100% of the traffic growth uses the facility.
Lake Merritt Boulevard in Oakland provides a good example of this phenomenon – “ unreliable” and “ unconstrained” forecasts. The City of Oakland undertook a major investment to widen and enhance Lake Merritt Boulevard ( 12th Street Reconstruction Project). The work was designed based on 20-year forecasts and had 6+ lanes for automobile traffic. It is a beautiful project but in 2019, about fifteen years after the environmental studies, the street was so underutilized by automobile traffic that the City undertook efforts to redesign the street to include bus only lanes and separated bike lanes by taking away automobile lanes.
3.1. Expand Existing VISSIM Model – Expand the available weekday AM and PM peak period VISSIM model to incorporate multimodal traffic volumes at all intersecting public streets between the Adeline Street and IKEA intersections.
3.2. Execute Existing VISSIM Model – Execute the VISSIM model to establish the existing transportation characteristics for the corridor. Measures of Effectiveness may include bus maneuvering time at bus stops, end-to-end multimodal travel times, origin-destination pair multimodal travel times, average motor vehicle and bus speeds, motor vehicle and bus queues, intersection delay and level of service, and systemwide measures such as vehicle and passenger hours of delay.
3.3. Traffic Diversion Study – Diversion traffic assignments will be undertaken for the side streets that are planned to be cul-de-sacs at 40th Street. The specific side streets and configurations will be identified through conversations with the project team, city, and input from stakeholders and public as appropriate. The traffic volumes to/from the side streets will be reassigned to the street network and then summed with existing traffic volumes to establish DocuSign 6876764F7468DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: AA11BE2C- 2C4FB8D9- 93F4- D954-4455- 4527-81C0- B1FE-F42A6E79B7ED Proposal - 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Project Approach 14
Project Traffic. Local access changes from the side street reconfigurations will also be illustrated so the city, stakeholders, and the public can understand how people will access affected local uses with the project. These graphics may also be used by the Team and the City when meeting with affected property owners and businesses.
3.4. Execute Project VISSIM Model – Project Traffic will be incorporated into the VISSIM model along with the project’ s multimodal geometrics for walking, bicycling, transit, and motor vehicles. Signal optimization parameters will be established with the city and then signal optimization will be incorporated into the VISSIM model. Bus stop locations will be discussed with AC Transit and Emery Go-Round and then incorporated into the model along with any bus route or headway changes. The measures of effectiveness derived from the exi sting analysis will be reevaluated with Project Traffic.
3.5. Multimodal Traffic Operations Documentation: The findings from the above tasks will be documented in a multimodal operations report with specific findings and recommendations addressing the project changes to walking, bicycling, transit, and motor vehicle uses as well as local access. The draft report will be provided to the Team and the City for review and comments and the report will be finalized based on one round of comments from each.
4. Public Outreach ( Lead by Phil Erickson of CD+A)
The public outreach process can build from the successful outreach efforts during the earlier public engagement during the PA/ ED phase of the Project. CD+A and Fehr & Peers assisted Emeryville staff in a series of outreach events and a survey, as well as through the committee, commission and City Council review and approval process. Our approach for public and agency outreach is focused on being efficient by targeting outreach to the needs of the Project and managing the process to avoid project delays. We have organized the outreach process into three subtasks.
Task 4.1 Community Outreach which will address providing the broader community with information about the progress on the project; engaging property owners, tenants, residents and other stakeholders who would have an interest in the design refinements to the uncontrolled intersections on the northside of 40th Street between San Pablo Avenue and the Shellmound Bridge and the limited number of buildings that have entrances directly fronting onto the northside of 40th Street, and engagement with bus riders and bicyclists, through meetings with advocacy groups and intercept surveys on the street regarding refinements to the design that most affect them.
We believe that the public outreach process during the PS& E phase can for the most part be focused on smaller- scale engagement with the property owners, tenants, residents, and other stakeholders that will be most directly affected by the improvements. General community engagement will focus on informing the public about how the project is proceeding with communication be administered through a Project webpage and with budget set aside for smaller- scaled meetings and phone calls when needed.
4.1. Facilitate Community Engagement Meetings: The Emeryville website currently has a project webpage in the Community Development section of the website. This webpage should be updated and moved to the Public Works section and be used to provide general information about the timing and development of the PS& E phase. A link to a project email address can be provided. This will provide the opportunity for people to make comments and ask questions.
CD+A will work with staff to review any comments or questions and provide responses either through email, phone call, or in limited cases a follow up in-person or virtual meeting. CD+A DocuSign 6876764F7468DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: AA11BE2C- 2C4FB8D9- 93F4- D954-4455- 4527-81C0- B1FE-F42A6E79B7ED Proposal - 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Project Approach 15
will work with other members of the team and City staff to provide text and images for content on the webpage, this will include providing schedule for city committee, commission, and council meetings that occur as part of the PS& E phase of the project.
Northside of 40th Design Engagement
This part of the community outreach will focus on engagement with property owners, tenants, and residents of properties that have access to the four uncontrolled intersections of the north side of the street which City Council requested be assessed for full or partial closure in this phase of the project, including:
Watts Street which has 5 properties with a mix of industrial and commercial uses; some of the properties are multitenant.
Haven Street which has 3 private properties and the City Hall, future Emeryville Center for the Arts, and city parking lot accessed from it. Private uses include the Besler Building, a multiunit live/ work loft, and multitenant industrial condominium building.
Holden Street has 7 properties including Granite Expo and their parking lot as well as a pickup roll up door very close to the 40th Street intersection, the Icon Apartments with over 50 units and garage access from Holden.
Hubbard Street has 6 properties including the Rug Depot with a parking lot entry tight to 40th Street, Pottery & Beyond, an appraiser service, a prototyping manufacturer, and the former Plum building which access Hubbard.
CD+A will gather contact information for property and business owners, tenants, condominium associations, and building managers so that contact can be made to inform them about the study of potential access changes at the 40th Street intersections. We recommend that interactions with these stakeholders initially occur on a property- by-property basis in order to avoid having individual stakeholders create broader and undue concerns amongst many users along an affected street. Individual virtual or in-person meetings with the Besler Building homeowners’ association, the Granit Expo, and the Rug Depot given their proximity to the intersections. Four group virtual or in-person meetings will occur with the other stakeholders on each of the four intersecting streets.
In addition to the uses associated with the uncontrolled intersection, a virtual or in-person meeting will be held with the management of the Watermark assisted living and memory care community at Horton Street and 40th Street to discuss refinements to the Project design in front of their main entry on 40th Street. The design refinements will be based on discussions with city staff including the ADA Coordinator and Emeryville Fire Department and the ambulance companies that provide service to the community, and a meeting with AC Transit staff to discuss the recommended refinements.
Bus Rider and Bicycle Rider Engagement
It is our understanding that AC Transit has become concerned with recent implementation of floating transit islands with bicycle bypasses, having heard concerns about access and comfort of bus riders.
Therefore, we are recommending that effort be put into engagem ent with advocacy groups and through intercept surveys with bus riders at stops along 40th Street.
Advocacy Group Focus Group Meeting – given that the issues to address relate to potential conflicts between transit riders and cyclists this will be a single focus group meeting with Bike East Bay, East Bay Transit Riders Union, AC Transit and city staff with CD+A and Diablo to discuss details of the transit island and bicycle bypass design at for the Transit Hub and a stop to the west of San Pablo Avenue.

5.1. Develop Corridor Planimetric and Topographic Surveys: MNS will establish project control, conduct topographic surveying, research right of way, and perform right of way engineering Consultant will provide the following:
Topographic Mapping Base Sheet
This task shall include all field surveying and office calculations/ drafting required to prepare a design level topographic map of the project area. The initial survey effort will be an aerial topographic mapping base sheet prepared at a scale of 1” = 20’ and showing contours at one - foot intervals and spot elevations on an approximate 40-foot grid throughout the project area.
The mapping limit for this effort will be 50’ beyond the back of sidewalk for the length of the proposed improvements.
The aerial mapping will capture substantial existing surface features such as buildings, fences, roads/ driveways, pathways/ trails, misc. hardscape, surface utilities (with invert elev. for gravity systems), signs, tree trunk locations ( over 6” in diam.), and other observed significant features, all to the extent visible in the aerial photography.
DocuSign 6876764F7468DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: AA11BE2C- 2C4FB8D9- 93F4- D954-4455- 4527-81C0- B1FE-F42A6E79B7ED Proposal - 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Project Approach 18
The survey will be based upon the NAD83 & NAVD88 and horizontal and vertical datums, respectively. The final deliverable for this task shall be survey control information for all control points established ( for later use as cons truction layout control), and an AutoCAD C3D drawing file of the completed topographic survey, including a Civil3D surface. In addition, a digital color orthophoto will be provided as a part of the aerial mapping effort.
Supplemental Field Surveys
After a review of the initial aerial mapping effort and initial analysis of the project design considerations, supplemental field surveys will be performed in areas where more detailed field surveys are required to complete the design effort. Where applicable/ required, additional field surveys will be performed, which will likely include data collected as follows:
Cross- sections at 50’ intervals, along with additional spot elevations as required to define the road alignment and grade, as well as the slope/ bank. Typically, the cross section will include top or toe of banks, ditches, edge and centerline of pavement, and grade breaks.
Surveyed locations for significant surface features, such as pavement or concrete, driveways, striping, fences, surface utilities, trees (4” diam. and larger), signs, utility poles, and street lights will be included. Sanitary and storm drain structures will include rim elevations, invert elevations, pipe size & direction for all accessible structures within the mapping limit.
Location of all recovered street monumentation within the mapping corridor ( for preservation and Record R/ W purposes).
Location of underground utility locator markings ( if any – to be provided by others).
Provide a finish drafted topographic survey in AutoCAD Civil3D, including an enhanced dtm surface in the areas where supplemental surveys were performed.

DocuSign 6876764F7468DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: AA11BE2C- 2C4FB8D9- 93F4- D954-4455- 4527-81C0- B1FE-F42A6E79B7ED Proposal - 40th Street Transit-Only Lanes and Multimodal Enhancements Project Project Approach 19
Consultant will review and coordinate potential modifications to side street access to be updated on the geometric approval drawings.
Deliverables
Consultant will document revisions to the conceptual plans to be incorporated into the geometric approval drawings.
5.4. Develop and Finalize Geometric Approval Drawings ( 35% Mileston e): Consultant will scope major elements of the project with input from the City. Securing City and AC Transit approval of the project geometry is a very important project milestone. There will likely be impacts to the geometry based on the details collected along the corridor. The Consultant will prepare preliminary drawings at a scale of 1”= 20’ which will reflect the agreed upon geometric information. The drawings will clearly identify the number of vehicle lanes and widths, horizontal curb alignments, geometric design for the cycletrack, sidewalk conforms, bicycle lanes/ routes conforms, approach to any storm drain system modifications, the locations of proposed ADA compliant curb ramp improvements, transitions, and join conditions.
Recommended green infrastructure to be illustrated. Consultant will assess the existing and proposed truck turning and fire engine access based upon agreed upon design vehicles for various movements. This analysis will be incorporated into the 35% design plans. Street sections to facilitate buy off on geometry will also be included.
Fehr & Peers will assess existing traffic signal equipment and phasing at the seven signalized intersections. Any required signal modification recommendations to best accommodate all users to be evaluated and costs estimated. The signals will incorporate the new bicycle and transit infrastructure and modified street geometry. Consultant will prepare 35% plan sheets of the signalized intersections based on the as-built plans and field investigations. The plan sheets will show existing and proposed poles, equipment, and phasing and will be coordinated with civil curb ramp improvements. Consultant will also provide proposed streetlight locations.
CD+A will develop 35% conceptual landscape, hardscape, site furnishings, and wayfinding location plans, and consider potential types and identify locations for public art opportunities.
Scope assumes this design work will build upon the Extended 40th Street Multimodal Concept Design Draft Plans prepared earlier for the project.
Work effort to include:
Landscape – Verification of street trees as illustrated in the Concept Design Plans and the potential for trees within corner bulb outs at the intersection of northern cross streets with 40th St; verification of general landscape and green infrastructure planting areas such as in the side medians; extension of decomposed granite path at the existing plaza located west of 40th, at the northern terminus near Ikea; and development of a plant palette for the Project. The plant palette will be inclusive of plants that tolerate recycled water and green infrastructure conditions.
Hardscape – Verification of hardscape treatments such as colored pavement for bus transit stops and colored and/ or textured plaza pavement, and use of pavement materials and patterns to reconstruct areas where existing enhanced pavements are used and curblines are being realigned, such as the use of brick, tile, and score lines at the San Pablo Ave intersection.

Site furnishings – Review and verification of site furnishings such as bus shelters, transit island railings, benches, refuse bins, bollards, and selection of new pedestrian lights at transit stops and generally along 40th St.
Wayfinding signs – Preparation of a conceptual pedestrian and bicycle wayfinding plan identifying locations of wayfinding signs and sign types for the review and approval by the city.
Budget assumes placement of up to 36 bicycle and 16 pedestrian wayfinding signs. The two existing MUTCD style wayfinding signs located near Ikea and Shellmound St. intersection are assumed to to either remain in place or be re-installed at the completion of the project.
Public art – CD+A will develop a public art implementation strategy that will identify potential types and locations of public art opportunities such as bus shelter ad panels, integration into bus shelter windscreens or panels, art panels in the railing along the back of transit islands and/ or as attachments to pedestrian and street light poles, and special art opportunities at the near- side west bound Hollis bus stop given its adjacency of the future Emeryville Center for the Arts and in the western plaza near Ikea. This effort would include discussions with the city about whether public art is integral to the design elements or placed after the project is constructed.
For instance, the TEMPO BRT project CD+A was involved with integrated art enhancements into the bus shelters and railings as part of the construction contract. Public art can also be done as a separate contract after the construction of this street and transit project.
Based on one consolidated set of City staff and community comments, the Consultant will revise the geometric drawings and establish the final base plans to use for the PS& E phase of the project. These drawings will show pedestrian scale lighti ng as described below. The final version of the geometric approval drawings is to be approved by the City before commencing with 65% plans and estimates.

QA/ QC PLAN
The Diablo Team' s approach for Quality Assurance/ Quality Control is to remove barriers so that each person can complete each element of the project correctly, the first time. This starts with designation of individuals with appropriate experience and availability to manage each project task or assignment for the project. A second key element is to achieve a complete understanding and commitment from each team member regarding the scope of services, their project responsibilities within the work scope as well as the budget and schedule. A third element is to provide a structured process for review of the work, especially for deliverables. Mr. Gritz will use his 34 years of experience to assure a successful process. Mr.
Gritz has a broad perspective of the various disciplines and plan types that comprise a complete PS& E, and he has a keen eye to review, question and facilitate a comprehensive QA/ QC process. In addition, our team includes key engineers from MNS with extensive experience preparing complete streets improvements, pavement delineation, signage, stage construction and traffic handling plans for projects big and small – from local streets to $500,000,000 HOV and freeway widening projects.

SCHEDULE
The Diablo Team is committed and has the resources for meeting the schedule as outlined in the RFP.
While we feel it is too aggressive to comprehensively complete the Design Phase by Summer 2023 with all stakeholders on board, the approach is to have the engineered geometry and validated estimate approved for grant applications by Summer 2023 and for final design to be delivered by the end of 2023, so that construction could begin as soon as Spring 2024. The goal of this approach is to avoid potentially expensive redesign associated with addressing comments from key stakeholders. The following is our anticipated schedule for execution of the work, to be refined and regularly update once the project begins:
Notice to Proceed December 5, 2022
Basis of Design/ Feasibility Overview January 2023
Preliminary Design February 2023

and Transit Center along Shattuck
Avenue, working for the City of
Berkeley. CD+A also worked as part of
a team in the preparation of final
design and construction documents for
the reconstruction of the plaza and
station entries. Central goals were the
improvement of pedestrian and bicycle
access and the plaza’ s simultaneous
function as a busy transit hub and a
primary public space in Downtown Berkeley. During the initial concept planning phase for the Plaza, started in 2005, CD+A led a team to develop four sketch alternative designs addressing major design decisions, including: the implications of various configurations for a bus rapid transit terminal station that was considered at that time, moving or modifying the primary BART entry and exit, opportunities for street closures ( including Center Street), adding new public open spaces, and realig ning the Shattuck Avenue couplet into a two-way street. The project included interactive workshops with the broader community and meetings with key surrounding business and property owners to develop the final concept plan and defining near-term and long-term improvements for the area.

PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT DESIGN
Martin Luther King Jr Way Vision Zero Quick Build
City of Berkeley, CA. The City of Berkeley was provided a grant through the Active Transportation Program ( ATP) to implement quick- build pedestrian safety improvements as a part of the City’s Vision Zero plan for the Martin Luther King Jr Way corridor, between Dwight Way and Russell Street (0.5 mile). The street is a 4-lane arterial with a history of pedestrian collisions where conditions include long existing crossing distances, limited sight lines, unmarked crossings, lack of lighting, and high vehicle speeds which create barriers for pedestrians to safely cross.
NCE provided civil design support to prepare civil and pavement repair improvement plans, technical specifications, and engineer’ s estimate for the Project. Preparation of the project base map, and design of curb ramps, median refuge islands, and hardened centerlines were completed by NCE. NCE participated in design review and coordination meetings with both the City and F& P to address the needs of the City and the Project.

Proposal - 40th Street Multimodal Project Amendment Request 1 SCOPE OF WORK – PHASE 1
The Diablo Team will collaborate with the City Team to implement the following design and coordination items for the Project.
Project Tasks
8. 40th Street Phase 1 Added Scope of Work
8.1. Video Data Collection: For Hubbard Street, Horton Street, Holden Street, and Watts Street between 40th Street and Park Avenue, IDAX to obtain 24-hour video for 4 weeks and then processing 12 hours per day for the first 14 days, given that the nighttime will likely have little activity. All videos will be collected using strategically placed wide angle timelapse cameras to cover the curb space. Full video will be provided in addition to a summary of Delivery Truck, Single Unit Truck and Truck w/Trailer per road and by date.
8.2. Added Traffic Analysis for Horton Diverter and Chick-Fil-A: For Hubbard Street, Holden Street, Haven Street and Watts Street, the traffic analysis includes all of these streets either opened or fully closed. In the original Alternative 2, the Horton Diverter was added to the analysis as requested by the City. After further coordination, the decision on if the Horton Diverter will be installed has been postponed until after this project. The City has also brought up concerns about the heavy traffic caused by the new Chick-Fil-A restaurant. Therefore, the following tasks will be added to the traffic analysis:
Collect traffic data for Chick-Fil-A.
Update Alternative 1 (all streets open) with Chick-Fil-A data.
Add New Alternative 3 (unsignalized streets closed, no Horton Diverter) with Chick-Fil-A data.
Prepare the final operations report with updated analysis.
Exclude Alternative 2 from any further analysis and exclude it from the final report.
8.3 Added Field Topography for Hubbard Street: For Hubbard Street sidewalk on the West side, topography will be collected to be used for designing new sidewalk to close the gap between 40th Street and Park Boulevard.
8.4 Added Design for Hubbard St and Path Connection to Halleck St: For Hubbard Street sidewalk on the West side, design of new sidewalk (approximately 320 linear feet) to close the gap between 40th Street and Park Boulevard will be added to the 40th Street plan submittals.
In addition, a new Class I path (approximately 280 linear feet) will be added to connect Halleck Street to the new cycle track on 40th Street in the area of Hubbard Street. This design will involve tight grading and potentially retaining walls given the constraints between 40th Street and the Pottery & Beyond lot. This will also be added to the 40th Street plan submittals.
8.5 Additional Outreach Efforts: Unsignalized Intersection Outreach: Effort for the preparation and mailing of the mailer to these stakeholders has gone through additional rounds of review which has increased labor cost. The area the mailer is being sent to has increased the number of mailings, currently estimated to be 550.

DocuSign Envelope ID: F4E26542- 0952-49A2-A18E-B52A39B3D15E Proposal - 40th Street Multimodal Project Amendment Request 1 SCOPE OF WORK – PHASE 2
The Diablo Team will collaborate with the City Team to implement the following design and coordination items for the Project.
Task 9 – Phase 2: Bay Trail Gap Closure Project Tasks
The Diablo Team understands that the City of Emeryville will be implementing a new Bay Trail Gap Closure Project to create a new cycle track on the West side of Shellmound Street to reduce driveway conflicts and connect the 40th Street Cycle Track to the existing cycle track on Christie. The project will tie into the 40th Street Multimodal Project at the Ikea entrance intersection, where the cycle track will shift sides of the street. The following tasks are associated with this Phase 2 planning and design.
9.0. Project Management and Grant Management (Lead by Jennifer Harmon of Diablo)
9.01. Regularly Scheduled Project Team Meetings: Consultant will coordinate and attend meetings, virtually or in person if allowable, to coordinate the project with the City Project Manager and other departments as needed, including:
a. Facilitate and attend project meetings and other coordination meetings as needed, b. Prepare meeting agendas and keep records of meeting minutes as well as key decisions,
c. Control, store, and maintain project records, through hard copy and/ or electronic media,
d. It is assumed that this will be minimized as there is some crossover coordination with the 40th Street first phase of the project.
9.02. City/ Project Manager Communications and Consultations: Consultant will provide written project management communications and consultations to document critical decisions throughout the development of the project within the budgeted hours.
9.03. Partner Agency (Staff) Coordination and/ or Meetings: Consultant will coordinate and attend meetings within the budgeted hours, virtually or in person if allowable, to coordinate the project with the partner agencies, including:
a. Facilitate and attend project meetings and other coordination meetings as needed, b. Prepare meeting agendas and keep records of meeting minutes as well as key decisions,

9.1. Environmental ( Lead by Gail Ervin of NCE)
9.10. CEQA/ NEPA Clearance Assuming Caltrans Federal Funding: The assumption is that the Phase 2 portion of the project will be added to the Phase 1 contracted portion of the 40th Street Multimodal CEQA/ NEPA clearance and all documents and coordination with Caltrans will be one combined effort. The scope and fee outlined includes the additional effort required to add the Phase 2 portion. Construction of the cycle track in Phase 2 may include three individual CIDH pile foundations that are 3.5’ in diameter and 12’ deep for relocated traffic signal poles and will involve relocating two center medians and landscaping. The location is on a known shellmound site, highly culturally sensitive. It also requires cutting through a cap into contaminated soils that will require coordination with DTSC. While the use of spread footings are being investigated on the 40th Street project to hopefully avoid penetrating the cap, excavating into native and contaminated soils on the Shellmound cycle track cannot be avoided. At the current time, it must be assumed that both projects will involve excavating through the cap into native soils, and therefore coordination with the Department of Toxic Substances Control ( DTSC) will be required, and Caltrans will require an extended Phase I investigation for potential shellmound materials.
NCE will provide the following services related to regulatory requirements and both CEQA and NEPA clearance:
1. Initial agency consultation/ coordination
2. Background research of existing environmental conditions ( database searches)
3. Identification of environmental permits and documentation required
4. Preparation of a CEQA Categorical Exemption ( CatEx)
5. Preparation of Caltrans NEPA required documentation per the Local Assistance Training Manual

DocuSign Envelope ID: F4E26542- 0952-49A2-A18E-B52A39B3D15E Proposal - 40th Street Multimodal Project Amendment Request 3 NCE’ s approach to providing regulatory permits and CEQA/ NEPA support services includes conducting early communication with permitting agencies and collecting background research to identify the scope of regulatory requirements affecting a project. Under the following tasks, NCE will work with the Diablo Team and the City to develop a Project Description and project boundary to use in initial consultations with agencies and verify permits, conduct background research, assist the City with their CEQA determination, and provide documentation requested by Caltrans.
NCE will conduct background research to understand which resources have the potential to occur at the sites, which environmental approvals may be required, and begin to understand potential permitting requirements. The specific database sources may include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) ‘ IPAC’ list, U.S. Forest Service ( USFS) Existing Vegetation CALVEG, California Department of Fish and Wildlife ( CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database CNDDB), California Native Plant Society’ s (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California, the Northwest Information Center ( NWIC) cultural resources database, Native American Heritage Commission ( NAHC) Sacred Lands File, as well as local sources of information. This information will be summarized in both tabular and graphical form to provide the City with a general understanding of resources with potential to occur within the project boundary.
NCE will review proposed project elements and will conduct initial agency consultation with the USACE and San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board ( Water Board) to determine potential scope of regulatory requirements affecting the project. Due to lack of federally regulated waterways being impacted by the project, NCE assumes no Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit is required from the USACE. As such, a CWA Section 401 permit from the Water Board would similarly not be required. NCE will coordinate with the Water Board to determine if the project requires a Waste Discharge Requirement ( WDR) permit for construction activities. A WDR would require a CEQA determination from the Lead Agency ( in this case, City of Emeryville) as presented in Task 2 below.
NCE will develop a memorandum presenting results of background research efforts, initial agency consultation, and subsequent list of permits anticipated to be required. Background research data collected for the memorandum will additionally be used to support the administrative record for CEQA. Some added effort to expand the project has been added to the technical memos.
9.11. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodplain Maps (i.e., Firmettes)
9.12. Biological Technical Memo, including U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) Species List by Quad and Endangered Species Lists from NMFS, and Wetlands Inventory Map
9.13. Visual Impact Assessment Questionnaire
9.14. Equipment Staging Technical Memo
Exhibit A-2 Page 3 of 12
DocuSign Envelope ID: F4E26542- 0952-49A2-A18E-B52A39B3D15E Proposal - 40th Street Multimodal Project Amendment Request 4 9.15. Cultural Resources APE and Memo - Section 106 compliance Technical Memo will be provided for the combined project. NCE has considered the proposed project and anticipates the proposed activities can qualify for one of the 33 ‘ classes’ of State CEQA Guidelines Categorical Exemptions ( Sections 15301 through 15333). To assist the Lead Agency ( City of Emeryville) in demonstrating and determining the proposed action falls within an exempt category, NCE will develop a ‘CatEx Package’ which includes the CEQA Administrative Record containing a detailed Project Description of proposed actions; the results of database searches collected; a cultural resources study that determines no tribal cultural resources are present; a CatEx Determination specifying the exemptions( s) under which the project activities fall; and a Notice of Exemption ( NOE) form that summarizes the City’ s determination with factual evidence.
If any of the exceptions to exemptions applies ( Public Resources Code Section 21084( c), (d), and e) and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300. 2) then the project no longer qualifies for a categorical exemption.
Although not required by the CEQA Guidelines, NCE recommends the City file the NOE form with the County Clerk (or the Office of Planning and Research when filed by a state agency). The benefit of filing a NOE is that it reduces the statute of limitations for filing a legal challenge to the project from 180 days after project approval to 35 days after filing of the NOE. Thus, filing a NOE reduces the timeframe within which a project is susceptible to legal challenge.
Assumptions
The cultural report prepared for Caltrans will result in a finding of no adverse impact on a tribal cultural resource.
If significant impacts on tribal cultural resources are identified, an initial study/ mitigated negative declaration can be prepared for an additional scope and fee.
NCE will coordinate with the Department of Toxic Substance Control on behalf of the City to permit and manage the anticipated penetrations of the cap.
9.16. Water Quality Technical Memo: Based on NCE’ s experience with the local Water Board, it is anticipated a Waste Discharge Requirement ( WDR) will be required to regulate pollutants caused by general construction activities. In the event it is determined this permit is not required based on the agency consultations conducted, the scope and fee shall be adjusted accordingly.
9.17. Hazardous Materials Technical Memo with Geotracker Hazardous Waste Information NCE will prepare and submit the request for a Field Review by Caltrans District 4. Following the field review, Caltrans determines the environmental studies required to achieve NEPA clearance. Based on our experience and preliminary review of the environment and resources near the proposed project area, we have included in this scope and fee the technical studies which we anticipate will be required by Caltrans. However, should Caltrans require a NEPA document other than a categorical exclusion, or additional technical studies other than those listed in the deliverables below, NCE can provide these services for an additional scope and fee.
To complete Environmental and Field Review NCE will complete the below deliverables.

4. Scope includes legal disposal of contaminated soils, obtaining a permit with Alameda County Department of Environmental Health, and necessary traffic control and encroachment permitting with the City.
5. NCE will request any available as-builts of the existing signal pole foundations for review and consideration.
6. Fee for work completed by geotechnical subconsultant is $44,922 +10%.
7. NCE will review the DTSC Operations and Maintenance Plan and coordinate with DTSC and the City. This Plan and coordination would provide direction on what operations are allowable, if any oversight is required, including the need for a responsible person overseeing the borings. If additional review and coordination effort is required, and/ or disposal and or cap repair assistance is needed from NCE, additional scope and fee will be provided.
Assumptions
Does not include hours and fees related to coordinating with Native American tribes and cultural monitor during the advancement of the geotechnical borings. It is assumed this contract will be handled by Diablo or the City.
Level of effort for DTSC and City coordination on the cap is 8 hours for a principal Greg Fasiano) and 16 hours for project staff (Matt Kinney).

9.2. Public Outreach (Lead by Phil Erickson of CD+A)
The following defines an outreach strategy to address the varied community and agency engagement needs of this Phase 2 of the 40th Street Project. The main issues to address through the broader engagement process are:
1. General public outreach through the project webpage, with updates to the project information to add the extended area of Shellmound to Christie.
2. The relationship of the multimodal improvements with people who work at businesses and hotels along and near to 40th St and Shellmound St.
3. Minor Outreach to Oakland Councilmembers for support to understand if they see the improvements as a benefit for improved access to jobs, services, etc.
4. Outreach to Bay Trail users and other cyclists about the Shellmound St. improvements.
9.22. Outreach to Local Employees of Businesses along Shellmound: This task will include meeting with the Emeryville Transportation Management Association ( ETMA) Board, request membership list, prepare mailing to membership requesting they share information about survey with employees, digital invitiation to employees to take survey, prepare survey, monitor survey, prepare summary of survey input. Including Spanish translation.

Consultant will provide conceptual plans to be shared in the community outreach. Conceptual approval to be obtained prior to incorporating information into the geometric approval drawings.
9.33. Develop and Finalize Geometric Approval Drawings ( 35% Milestone): Consultant will scope major elements of the project with input from the City. Securing City and AC Transit approval of the project geometry is a very important project milestone. There will likely be impacts to the geometry based on the details collected along the corridor. The Consultant will prepare preliminary drawings at a scale of 1”=20’ which will reflect the agreed upon geometric information. The drawings will clearly identify the number of vehicle lanes and widths, horizontal curb alignments, geometric design for the cycletrack, sidewalk conforms, bicycle lanes/ routes conforms, the locations of proposed ADA compliant curb ramp improvements, transitions, and join conditions. Consultant will assess the existing and proposed truck turning and fire engine access based upon agreed upon design vehicles for various movements. This analysis will be incorporated into the 35% design plans. Street sections to facilitate buy off on geometry will also be included.
Fehr & Peers will assess existing traffic signal equipment and phasing at the signalized intersection crossings. Any required signal modification recommendations to best accommodate all users to be evaluated and costs estimated. The signals will incorporate the new bicycle and transit infrastructure and modified street geometry. Consultant will prepare 35% plan sheets of the signalized intersections based on the as-built plans and field investigations. The plan sheets will show existing and proposed poles, equipment, and phasing and will be coordinated with civil curb ramp improvements.
CD+A will develop 35% conceptual landscape, hardscape, and bus stop site furnishings. Scope assumes this design work will build upon the Extended 40th Street Multimodal Concept Design Draft Plans prepared earlier for the project. Work effort to include:
West side transit island, median reconstruction with new landscape and irrigation at the IKEA exit intersection, minor design changes at the north and southwest corners of Christie and Shellmound for tree replacement, including irrigation for new trees. It is assumed that no green infrastructure is required for this Phase 2 area.
Based on one consolidated set of City staff and community comments, the Consultant will revise the geometric drawings and establish the final base plans to use for the PS& E phase of the project. The final version of the geometric approval drawings is to be approved by the City before commencing with 65% plans and estimates.
Deliverables

DocuSign Envelope ID: F4E26542- 0952-49A2-A18E-B52A39B3D15E Proposal - 40th Street Multimodal Project Amendment Request 9 Consultant anticipates demolition plans to show items to be removed, saw-cut lines, areas removed, cold milling, and utilities to be protected/ adjusted. Utilities will be shown on the demolition plans. It is anticipated that only lid adjustments to grade will be required on the civil plans and that no major utility relocations will be required. Finish grading will be shown on the improvement plans and grading details.
Traffic Signal Plans assume the following:
o IKEA, south driveway entrance for left turn pocket shift: Signal will require pole with longer mast arm.
o IKEA, north driveway exit, relocation of signals in medians: There are two signal poles in the median which will need to be relocated.
o Bay Street Driveway:
There is a southbound bus stop and pedestrian crosswalk across Shellmound. The design may require a signal modification to get the bus stop, sidewalk, and bikeway integrated with constrained ROW because of the triangle development parcel.
There is a need to maintain the property access ( It is a small parcel). We assume that the future development will be responsible for upgrading the traffic signal for the driveway and intersecting bikeway.
Shifting the lanes will cause the mast arm signal heads to shift particularly for the left turn lanes. Need new signal poles because the mast arm length needs to increase. o Hotel / Ohlone:
Lane shifts will require changing signal heads and potentially lengthen the mast arms i.e., new poles.
Need to integrate the bikeway into the signal system.
o Christie for cross over redesign
Diablo will control the master base files and keep consultants informed of any updates.

DocuSign Envelope ID: F4E26542- 0952-49A2-A18E-B52A39B3D15E Proposal - 40th Street Multimodal Project Amendment Request 11 KEY ASSUMPTIONS
The following represents the key scope assumptions for our regulatory analysis and CEQA/ NEPA:
1. The project area does not contain threatened, endangered, or other special status species.
2. No biological field survey will be warranted.
3. No federally jurisdictional waterways are associated with the project, thus no regulatory permitting.
4. Construction excavation depths will extend into native subgrade only at the Ikea entrance and exit intersection and medians, requiring up to four test borings.
5. NCE will require a project boundary map, description of proposed activities, and an approximate 30% concept design to effectively consult with regulatory agencies.
6. A categorical exemption for CEQA is assumed to be the appropriate level of CEQA documentation required. If ‘ unusual circumstances’ occur ( i.e., if the cultural resources investigation identifies the presence of tribal cultural resources), a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration may need to be prepared under a separate scope and fee.
7. A categorical exclusion under NEPA will meet Caltrans LAPM requirements.
8. Improvements will be constructed within the City ROW.
9. Although not anticipated at this time, if it is determined through agency consultation efforts additional permits are required, a separate scope and fee will be provided.

8.7 Additional Vissim Traffic Analysis: This scope of work and fee summarizes the City request to expand the 40th Street Multimodal Transportation Analysis in response to stakeholder questions raised during the engagement process.
Diablo team members from Fehr & Peers will expand the weekday PM peak hour Vissim microsimulation model to incorporate the following intersections:
Park at Horton (all-way stop)
Park at Watt (all-way stop)
Park at San Pablo (signal)
45th at San Pablo ( signal)
This work will include multimodal data collection ( weekday 4 to 6 PM) at the above-listed intersections. The collected data will be processed to establish the peak hour traffic volumes.
Once established the volumes will be incorporated into the Vissim microsimulation models for Scenario # 1 (Existing). The model will be tested to ensure it functions like the previous model and then Measure of Effectiveness ( MOEs) will be generated.
Fehr & Peers will update and expand the Scenario # 3 (Plus Project) microsimulation model to reflect the additional intersections and the model volumes will be modified to reflect the current project as shown in the 65% submittal. Specifically, the Scenario # 3 model will be updated to reflect project design changes including:
Hubbard will be closed at 40th
Holden will remain open for right turns inbound only
Haven will be closed
Watt will remain open for right turns inbound only
The Scenario #3 model will be tested to ensure it functions like the Scenario #1 model and then MOEs will be generated.
Once the MOEs from Scenario # 1 and Scenario # 3 models have been established the documentation will be updated to reflect the new results. The documentation will also be expanded to discuss the timeline and technical justification for the unsignalized street closures.
The draft documentation will be provided to the Team ( City and Consultants) for review and comment. After receipt of all comments, the documentation will be finalized. This scope and fee assume one round of review. Subsequent rounds of review may necessitate scope and fee amendment.

The design team has determined that a new signal or RRFB would not be appropriate at this location, therefore the redesign would focus on shifting the bike facilities to the north in order to create space for a right turn pocket. Lighting and landscaping, including the green infrastructure layout, will need to be updated in addition to the revised civil infrastructure.
8.12 Design Services During Construction:
Efforts have been estimated to provide adequate budget for design services during construction, however, the amount of effort that construction will require will vary. Budget assumes that the City of Emeryville will hire a construction management firm with a qualified resident engineer to run this complicated project. Scope included in the budget, billed on time and materials.
8.12.1. Review Shop Drawings and Submittals: Review and approve Contractor’ s submittals including shop drawings, product data and specifications.
8.12.2. Attend job site meetings: Attend job site meetings and perform site observations as needed.
8.12.3. Prepare Meeting Agenda and Minutes: Prepare for construction meetings as needed.
8.12.4. Prepare proposal requests and change order documents as required.
8.12.5. Respond to RFIs: Review and respond to Contractor’ s Request for Information ( RFI).
It is anticipated that the support of an arborist will be needed for this for the following:
Field review and monitoring
Field review reports on impacted trees.
Review tree protection, when tree roots are exposed, post construction, do potential stress test if needed, etc.
8.12.6. AutoCAD As-built Drawings: Consultant will prepare and review AutoCAD As-Built drawings.

The 40th Street Multimodal Project (“Project”) is an initiative undertaken by the City of Emeryville to improve transportation modalities for bus riders, pedestrians, and cyclists.
The Project focuses on the redesign of 40th Street and Shellmound Street, as well as sections of San Pablo Avenue and adjacent unsignalized side streets intersections. 40th Street is a vital multimodal connector, providing access to employment, essential services, and regional transit hubs including the MacArthur BART Station and the Bay Trail, and the purpose of the Project is to enhance connectivity, safety, and efficiency for all modes of transportation.
The Project has been developed for nearly a decade through a deliberate, phased process with extensive community engagement and multiple City Council decisions. 40th Street Multimodal Project - IS/MND Adoption and Authorize Bids City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
The Project's origins date back to 2017, when public input led the City Council to direct staff to advance a design concept. Following further community engagement, the City Council formally approved the conceptual design for the Project on March 3, 2020 (Resolution No. 20-017) and at that time determined that the Project was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As part of that 2020 action, the Council also directed staff to study the feasibility of partially closing several unsignalized cross-streets on the north side of 40th Street to further enhance safety.
As the design and funding strategy progressed, the City Council took several key actions on July 18, 2023 (Resolution Nos. 23-105, 23-106, 23-107, and 23-108), to significantly refine and expand the Project's scope. The Council directed staff to bring back an updated design concept with an expanded Project scope to include:
• Vehicle access restrictions of Hubbard and Haven Streets and partial vehicle access restrictions of Holden and Watts Streets.
• Incorporation of the Shellmound Street segment (known as Part 2: Bay Trail Gap Closure) into the original Project scope, creating a single, unified 40th Street Multimodal Project.
Following July 2023 Council direction, staff and the consultant team completed a comprehensive traffic study and technical analysis, which was released to the public in August 2025. These reports validated the safety benefits and confirmed that the proposed design was appropriate. Subsequently, on November 18, 2025, the City Council held a public meeting and approved the final Project Description and design concept (the Updated Project) and directed staff to bring back the Updated Project for final approval following completion of environmental review pursuant to CEQA.
The City prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Updated Project which was finalized and circulated for a 45-day public comment period beginning on November 24, 2025 and concluded on January 7, 2026. Preparation and circulation of the IS/MND for the Updated Project ran concurrently with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process led by Caltrans.
The Updated Project has been refined for nearly a decade, with items being brought to various Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee meetings, Transportation Committee meetings, and (23) twenty-three items confirming direction and progress of the project at City Council since 2017.
DISCUSSION
The 40th Street Multimodal Project has reached its final approval milestone. Staff has completed the environmental review process as directed by Council and is now returning to seek final Updated Project approval and authorization to solicit construction bids.
Completion of Environmental Review (CEQA & NEPA)
40th Street Multimodal Project - IS/MND Adoption and Authorize Bids City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
• CEQA Process & Response to Comments: The 45-day public comment period for the draft IS/MND resulted in 55 comments from residents, businesses, and public agencies. In accordance with CEQA, staff and the consultant team have prepared a "Response to Comments" document (RTC) (Section 2 of Attachment B), which provides a written response to every substantive environmental comment received. Where multiple commenters raised similar concerns, the RTC provides Master Responses. Other comments are addressed with individualized responses. Comments are organized into three categories: 1) comments from public agencies; 2) public comments that raise environmental issues; and 3) public comments that do not raise environmental issues but relate to project merits. All comments, regardless of category, are included in the final administrative record for the City Council's consideration. The RTC combined with the draft IS/MND constitutes the Final IS/MND for the Updated Project. The proposed resolution requests that the City Council formally adopt this Final IS/MND (Attachment B).
• Tribal Consultation: A key part of the environmental process involved formal consultation with interested Native American tribes. The City has successfully concluded the state-mandated AB 52 consultation process with all participating tribes as of February 19, 2026. All tribal feedback has been addressed and incorporated into the Updated Project's mitigation and monitoring plan. • NEPA Status: The federal NEPA environmental review, managed by Caltrans, is in its final stages. All Updated Project documentation has passed the District 4 review and is currently with Caltrans Headquarters for final signature as of February 9, 2026. Staff anticipates completion of the NEPA review process in the next few weeks.
Ongoing Stakeholder Outreach
Staff has continued to engage with key stakeholders to address specific community concerns. Such outreach efforts included several in-person meetings with the residents of 1440 By The Bay assisted living facility to confirm and refine biking, parking and loading modifications along their frontage, including the loading and drop-off zones along 40th Street. Staff met with the residents on February 2nd and again on March 2nd to confirm that the City’s proposed design is ADA compliant and balances their operational needs with the Updated Project's safety goals. The residents in attendance at the meetings confirmed that the design details in the drop-off zones along 40th Street addressed their concerns, and staff confirmed that these details would be included in the construction contract bid documents for the Updated Project.
In response to business owner concerns about access for large, infrequent truck deliveries, staff has been working with the affected business owner and proposed a license agreement with the City to permit large vehicle delivery access onto Hubbard Street from 40th Street for their businesses. Although at least one business owner has not agreed to the City’s terms in the proposed license agreement, City staff is optimistic 40th Street Multimodal Project - IS/MND Adoption and Authorize Bids City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
that such an agreement can ultimately be reached and will continue to work with the affected business community to reach an amicable solution that balances both safety concerns and business delivery needs.
Vehicle Access Restrictions
The Updated Project includes vehicular access restrictions at several side streets intersecting with 40th Street in order to reduce turning conflicts with the proposed protected bicycle facilities and transit-only lanes and to improve corridor safety and operations. These access restrictions include vehicular access restrictions at Hubbard Street and Haven Street and partial vehicular access restrictions at Holden Street and Watts Street. Partial restrictions convert the intersections to entry-only configurations while maintaining two-way circulation on the side streets through cul-de-sac designs.
Pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 21101, local authorities may restrict vehicular access or prohibit entry or exit movements through the installation of roadway design features such as medians, curbs, traffic barriers, or other traffic control devices.
The vehicular access restrictions proposed as part of the Updated Project are described in Attachment A – Project Description and will be implemented through the roadway design elements while maintaining access for emergency vehicles.
These vehicular access restrictions are intended to reduce turning conflicts, improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, and support reliable transit operations along the 40th Street corridor in accordance with the City’s circulation policies and multimodal transportation objectives.
Transit-Only Lanes
The Updated Project includes dedicated transit-only lanes along portions of 40th Street and Shellmound Street intended to improve transit reliability and support the City’s multimodal transportation goals. These lanes prioritize bus operations along a key regional transit corridor connecting to the MacArthur BART Station and other regional transit services.
Pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 21655.1, transit-only lanes must be designated by ordinance or resolution of the City Council. Approval of the Updated Project therefore constitutes approval of the transit-only lanes described in Attachment A – Project Description, allowing for the installation and enforcement of the required pavement markings, signs, and traffic control devices necessary to implement the transit priority treatments included in the Updated Project.
Disabled Persons Parking Zones, Loading Zones, and Red Curbs The Updated Project includes the installation and relocation of disabled parking zones and modifications to existing loading zones to maintain accessible parking in areas where curb regulations are modified by the Project’s improvements. Pursuant to the Emeryville Municipal Code, the Transportation and Sustainability Committee may designate disabled parking zones and loading zones with the consent of the City Council. These changes can also be approved directly by the City Council. 40th Street Multimodal Project - IS/MND Adoption and Authorize Bids City Council Meeting | March 17, 2026
As part of this project approval, City Council consent is requested for the following disabled parking zones:
• Park Avenue at Halleck Street
• Park Avenue at Hollis Street
• 40th Street at Horton Street
• 40th Street at Harlan Street
• 40th Street at Adeline Street
The Updated Project also includes establishment of an approximately 100-foot white curb loading zone with a one-hour time limit (between the hours of 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM) along the frontage of 1440 By The Bay. This loading zone was developed in coordination with residents and staff of the facility to accommodate emergency vehicles, passenger loading, resident move-ins, deliveries, and service vehicles while maintaining safe circulation along the corridor.
The Updated Project also includes installation of red curb markings at transit stops and other locations necessary for safety and operational purposes within the project corridor. These red curb designations support bus operations, improve visibility at intersections, and provide daylighting where needed to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. These curb color modifications are reflected in the Updated Project plans and described in Attachment A – Project Description.
Approval of this Updated Project therefore includes the designated disabled parking zones, loading zones, and associated curb color modifications in Attachment A.
General Plan Consistency
The Updated Project implements several policies of the City’s General Plan, including policies supporting multimodal transportation safety, improved transit operations, and expanded bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The Updated Project advances the City’s Complete Streets and Active Transportation Plan objectives by reducing vehicle conflict points, improving bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and enhancing transit reliability along a key regional transportation corridor.
Updated Project Approval and Path to Construction
With the conclusion of the IS/MND public comment period and the preparation of the Final IS/MND (Attachment B), the environmental review process is complete and the Updated Project is ready for City Council approval. Staff recommend the City Council take the following final actions to move this vital Updated Project into construction:
1. Adopt the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Updated Project.
• Authorize the City Engineer to advertise the Updated Project for construction bids and confirm that the following details will be included in the project plans:
o Loading zone design for the frontage of the 1440 By The Bay property, as selected by the residents.
