65 7.0 ABATEMENT STRATEGY

7.1 Existing 2024 Plus Project Conditions Deficiencies (Deficiency #1) This analysis identified Project related deficiencies at four study intersections. Three of the intersections are on East Bidwell St (East Bidwell St/Via Felice , East Bidwell St/Iron Point Road , and East Bidwell St/Eastbound US 50 offramp ), and one is adjacent to East Bidwell St (Iron Point Road/Cavitt Dr).

Additionally, the Project’s Iron Point Road driveway is anticipated to have level-of-service F operation on its southbound approach. The driveway operations are a potential issue for the Applicant, however since the delay is on private property it does not create a deficiency relative to General Plan policies.

After describing anticipated Project related deficiencies, abatement is presented. Rather than an intersection-by-intersection abatement approach, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell St is proposed. This approach is proposed because existing/anticipated operational issues arise from demand exceeding capacity at the East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd intersection and difficulty maintaining signal coordination when pedestrians utilize crosswalks to cross East Bidwell St between the Project and the Palladio. Deficiencies at intersections adjacent to East Bidwell St also result from progression and queueing issues on East Bidwell St (i.e., queues extend from the East Bidwell/Iron Point intersection back through adjacent intersections causing them to fail as well).

Improvements to signal coordination on East Bidwell Street abate deficiencies at nearby intersections as well, as once the bottlenecks along East Bidwell St are addressed those adjacent in tersections are no longer blocked. In general, these Existing 2024 plus Project deficiencies and abatements are a subset of those detailed later for the 2029 EPAP plus Project condition abatements.

Note that where queuing is discussed below, it refers to either existing or anticipated 95 th percentile
queue length. 95th percentile queue length is the length that is anticipated be exceeded five percent of the time. In simple terms if a signal has a 90 second cycle length, the 95 th percentile queue would be expected to be exceeded two times during the peak hour. Because signals along East Bidwell generally have a 120 second to 156 second cycle length, the 95 th percentile queue may not occur at all during the peak hour.

#6 East Bidwell St/Via Felice deficiencies (2024 Existing plus Project conditions) This intersection (and the Cavitt Dr extension) serves as the primary access to the Project. The Project along with Broadstone Villas, adds an eastbound approach to this intersection and is anticipated to generate high demand for pedestrian crossings of East Bidwell.

Page 159 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.5.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

66 Project related queue spillback is anticipated on every approach:
• The eastbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 229 feet, which exceeds available storage of 75 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated issue is a result of the Project, however because it occurs on private property it is not considered a deficiency relative to General Plan policies. Additionally, there is “three -way-stop-control” at the upstream intersection within the Palladio so that outgoing Palladio traffic cannot block incoming Palladio traffic. There is a similar issue on this eastbound approach during the AM peak hour, however the 95th percentile queue length is not extended by more than one car length, and the issue occurs on private property and thus is not considered to be a Project related deficiency. • The westbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 273 feet, which exceeds storage capacity of 238 feet. Without the Project this approach does not exist under Existing 2024 plus Project conditions. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.
• The northbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue
length of 273 feet, which exceeds available storage of 250 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95 th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.
• The southbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 280 feet, which exceeds available storage of 250 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

Pedestrian Safety:

The Project is anticipated to generate 75 AM peak hour pedestrian trips and 109 PM peak hour pedestrian trips. Half (or more) of those pedestrian trips are anticipated to cross East Bidwell Street and the additional pedestrian traffic makes it impractical to maintain coordinated signal timing plans. Also, given the road widths, traffic volumes, and congestion, East Bidwell Street is anticipated to experience an unsafe pedestrian environment. The anticipated signal timing and pedestrian safety issues are a r esult of both the Project, and existing traffic flows.

As stated above, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell Street is proposed as an abatement. That Existing 2024 plus Project abatement strategy is discussed after a description of all the deficiencies.

#7 East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd deficiencies (2024 Existing plus Project conditions) Without the Project there are queue spillback issues on two of the four left turn approaches to the intersection and the level-of-service fails to meet the City’s level- of-service D policy (General Plan Policy M 4.1.3) during the AM and PM peak hour s. Level-of-service and queueing are anticipated to worsen in the future with or without the Project until additional interchanges and bridges accessing US 50 and Folsom Ranch are constructed. Project traffic is anticipated to contribute to the worsening qu eue

Page 160 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.5.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

67 spillback, however intersection delay is anticipated to increase by less than five seconds, which is not considered to worsen the level -of-service per the standards previously detailed in this report ( Section

4.3).

Note that there is an existing CEQA statement of overriding considerations for this location. The General Plan CEQA analysis anticipated that this intersection would operate deficiently until additional freeway interchanges and overcrossings are constructe d. Those additional facilities include the planned Empire Ranch and Oak Avenue Parkway interchanges and the planned Rowberry Dr overcrossing, which will be constructed as quickly as funding from adopted fee programs can accommodate. In recognition of this, the General Plan CEQA determination included the adoption of a statement of overriding considerations for the East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd intersection. Deficient operation at this location is permissible as long as all reasonably feasible abatement measures are implemented. This intersection already includes three northbound/southbound through lanes, and intersection specific abatement at this intersection to fully address the deficiencies is infeasible without additional through lanes. As part of the st atement of overriding considerations, the City of Folsom has stated that additional widening at this location for more through lanes is infeasible because it would be inconsistent with other General Plan policies and there are physical constraints from existing structures and the railroad tracks that parallel East Bidwell St.

Project related queue spillback is anticipated on three of the four approaches:
• The southbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 447 feet, which exceeds available storage of 440 feet, and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.
• The eastbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 298 feet, which exceeds available storage of 280 feet, and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.
• The northbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile through movement queue length of 6 82 feet, which exceeds available storage length on East Bidwell St between Iron Point Rd and Placerville Rd and, is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

As stated above, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell St is proposed as abatement. That Existing 2024 plus Project abatement strategy is discussed after a description of all the deficiencies.

#15 Iron Point Rd/Cavitt Dr deficiencies (2024 Existing plus Project conditions) Without the Project there are queue spillback issues on two of the four approaches to the intersection and the level -of-service fails to meet the City’s level- of-service D policy (General Plan Policy M 4.1.3).

These operational issues are related to the do wnstream westbound left turn queue at the East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd intersection which causes queueing at Iron Point Rd/Cavitt Dr as vehicles pre-position for downstream left turns. Level -of-service and queueing are anticipated to worsen in the future with or without the Project until additional interchanges and bridges accessing US 50 and Folsom Ranch are

09/09/2025 Item No.5.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

68 constructed to relieve traffic at East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd. Project traffic is anticipated to contribute to the worsening queue spillback.

Project related level-of-service deficiencies are anticipated:
• The level-of service during the AM peak hour is anticipated to worsen from E with 57.2 seconds of delay to F with 69.8 seconds of delay. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project. • The level-of service during the PM peak hour is anticipated to worsen from F with 126 seconds of delay to F with 141 seconds of delay. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

7.2 Existing 2024 Plus Project Conditions Abatement (Abatement 1) The abatement strategy includes:
• Changes to lane striping at East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd and East Bidwell St/Placerville Rd that are already being implemented and will improve traffic flow from westbound Iron Point Rd to the westbound freeway onramp.
• Changes in lane striping at East Bidwell St/Broadstone Pkwy. ( Similar to those at East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd).
• A pedestrian bridge over East Bidwell St between Kilrush Dr and Iron Point Rd, with elimination of existing at-grade east/west pedestrian crossings of East Bidwell St at Kilrush Drive. • Updated signal coordination along East Bidwell Street from Scholar Way to Placerville Rd. • Minor extension of left turn pockets to prevent “secondary deficiencies” at East Bidwell St/Scholar Way, East Bidwell St/Power Center Dr, East Bidwell St/Via Felice, and East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd.

Each of these abatements are detailed below, with technical details related to signal timing and phasing located in Appendix D.

East Bidwell/Scholar Way Turn Pocket Extension:
• The East Bidwell/Scholar Way eastbound left turn pocket shall be extended from 200 feet to 210 feet (not including the entry taper). The Project is responsible for this improvement.

East Bidwell/Power Center Dr Turn Pocket Extension:
• The East Bidwell/Power Center Dr northbound left turn pocket shall be extended from 185 feet to 250 feet (not including the entry taper). The Project is responsible for this improvement.

East Bidwell St/Broadstone Pkwy Lane St riping Changes:
• Restripe the westbound Broadstone Pkwy approach to East Bidwell St from one right turn lane, three through lanes and two left turn lanes to one right turn lane, two through lanes and three left turn lanes over the fall of 2024. Split phasing is required for Broadstone Pkwy to prevent eastbound and westbound left turn phases from operating concurrently. The Project is responsible for this improvement.

East Bidwell St/Via Felice Turn Pocket Extension:

Page 162 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.5.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

69 • In addition to the phasing changes to accommodate the eastern leg of the intersection, extend the northbound left turn pocket from 250 to 260 feet. The Project is responsible for this improvement.

East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd Lane Striping Changes and Turn Pocket Extension:
• The westbound Iron Point Rd approach to East Bidwell St was restriped from one right turn lane, three through lanes and two left turn lanes to one right turn lane, two through lanes and three left turn lanes over the fall of 2024. That change is incorporated as part of the Project’s Existing 2024 plus Project abatement. This change has already been implemented and the Project’s responsibility is limited to payment of applicable fees. Note that split phasing is required for Iron Point Rd to prevent eastbound and westbound left turn phases from operating concurrently. • Extend the westbound left turn pockets to the Project’s Iron Point Road Driveway. The Project is responsible for this improvement.

East Bidwell St/Placerville Rd Lane Striping and Geometric Changes:
• The southbound East Bidwell St approach to Placerville Rd is in the process ( fall 2024) of being restriped from a shared through-right, two through lanes and a left turn lane (total of 4 lanes) to a dedicated right turn lane, a shared through-right turn lane, a single through lane and a left turn lane (total of 4 lanes) . In addition to that striping change, which is already being implemented, widening the southbound approach to include one additional lane and stripe the southbound approach to include a single dedicated right turn lane, a single shared through-right turn lane, two dedicated through lanes, and a single dedicated left turn lane. These changes are illustrated in Figure 14 below. The Project is responsible for this improvement. • Note that this change will require coordination with Caltrans.

Pedestrian Bridge:

Construct an eastbound/westbound pedestrian overcrossing of East Bidwell St between Iron Point Rd and Kilrush Dr, to eliminate at-grade eastbound/westbound pedestrian crossing of East Bidwell St Kilrush Dr.

The pedestrian bridge is required to preserve safe pedestrian access across East Bidwell St (with or without the Project), consistent with:
• LU 2.1.2- Broadstone District. Encouraging a mix of uses, including an emphasis on high -density residential, and pedestrian and bicycle friendly street patterns in the Broadstone District to increase its functionality as a vibrant gathering place for the community. • M 2.1.14- Intersections. Ensure new intersections are designed to safely accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists, along with all other transportation modes. • M 2.1.17- Pedestrian and Bicycle Overpasses. Pursue the development of pedestrian and bicycle overpasses in areas with limited connectivity, particularly to connect development north and south of Highway 50.
• M 7.1.1- New Development. Require new development to contribute towards the construction of offsite facilities and provision of services to achieve the City’s mobility goals. • M 7.1.2- Fair Share for Transportation Infrastructure Improvements. Require all new development to dedicate rights -of-way, construct facilities, or pay its fair share for needed transportation infrastructure improvements that support all travel modes, including pedestrian, bicycle, and

09/09/2025 Item No.5.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

70 transit facilities, roadway improvements, and ITS and transportation demand management (TDM) programs and services.

The Pedestrian Bridge is also shown in Figure 14 below. The Project is responsible for its fair share of the cost of the pedestrian bridge and shall dedicate appropriate right-of-way as necessary. The value of land dedications shall count toward the Project’s fair share of the improvement cost. Additional Project support for the pedestrian bridge such as design and environmental work may also count toward the Project’s fair share of the cost. Note that this is being treated as a cumulative abatement growth in vehicle and pedestrian traffic would require this specific improvement with or without the Project, and therefore the City is requesting a fair share contribution. Note that the location o f the pedestrian bridge is conceptual at this time and shall be located such that it can accommodate pedestrians from both the Project and surrounding land uses.

Fair share cost of the pedestrian bridge is estimated as 15% of the bridge’s complete delivery cost which includes CEQA and NEPA clearance, design, and right of way. Based on the Project’s contribution to traffic on East Bidwell Street during the PM peak hour between Placerville Rd and Scholar Way (anticipated 589 Project trips) divided by the anticipated 2024 to 2029 growth in PM peak hour traffic on the same segment of East Bidwell St (14,881 vehicle trips in 2024 and anticipated 18,828 vehicle trips in 2029).

Signal Coordination:

Re-time AM and PM peak period traffic signals along East Bidwell St at:
• East Bidwell St/Scholar Way (re-time and modify coordination), • East Bidwell St/Power Center Dr (re-time and modify coordination), • East Bidwell St/Broadstone Pkwy (re-time and modify coordination), • East Bidwell St/Via Sole (re-time and modify coordination), • East Bidwell St/Via Felice (Kilrush Dr) (re-time and modify coordination), • East Bidwell St/Iron Point Road (re-time and modify coordination), • East Bidwell St/Placerville Rd (re-time only and remove from coordination).

Timing plans developed for this analysis include:
• Phasing changes at East Bidwell St/Via Felice (Kilrush Dr) to accommodate the extension of Kilrush Drive,
• Nonstandard phasing at East Bidwell St/Power Center Dr to accommodate double left turn phases to minimize northbound and southbound left turns queue lengths (note 2029 abatement was able to remove that nonstandard phasing),
• Cycle lengths of 156 seconds,
• A 90th percentile coordinated green band northbound and southbound along East Bidwell St of at least 60-70 seconds,

72 • Eastbound/westbound pedestrian crossings times are lengthened so that the pedestrian clearance interval accommodate s the MUTCD 3.5 ft/sec walking speed during the pedestrian clearance (“flashing don’t walk”) interval, and reducing the initial walk interval from 7 seconds to 4 seconds as needed to allow for faster recovery of coordination after a pedestrian call breaks coordination.
• Eastbound/westbound split phasing at East Bidwell St/Broadstone Pkwy and East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd.

The Project is responsible for developing and implementing signal timing to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Recommended timing plans for the AM and PM peak hours are provided in Appendix D.

2024 Abatement Demonstration
Table 20 below shows level of service and queueing data without the Project, with the Project, and with the abated Project. Violations of City General Plan policies that are not considered to be Project deficiencies are shown with a grey highlight. Project related deficiencies are show n with an orange highlight. Several movements are shown in a red font, these were used for and are presented as part of a quality assurance quality control check that documents that abated approach queues to the study area are generally reduced relative to without Project conditions and/or to check the length of through queues near the proposed pedestrian bridge.

With the recommended abatements, Project traffic is not anticipated to cause new or worsen existing deficiencies relative to the City’s General Plan policies. The Project is however anticipated to lengthen the eastbound and westbound left turn queue at East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd where there is already an existing statement of overriding considerations in the General Plan CEQA determination. It therefore is not considered to be a new CEQA impact and is generally allowed as an exception to the General Plan policies.

Iron Point Road/Cavitt Dr and Iron Point Rd/Project (Iron Point Rd) Driveway:

As previously discussed, there are anticipated Project related deficiencies at these two locations which result from anticipated westbound left turn queueing at the East Bidwell St/Iron Point Road intersection.

Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

75 7.3 EPAP 2029 Plus Project Conditions Deficiencies (Deficiency #2) This analysis identified Project related deficiencies at seven study intersections, six of which are on East Bidwell St (Scholar Way, Power Center Drive, Broadstone Pkwy, Via Sole, Via Felice, and Iron Point Road) and one which is adjacent to East Bidwell St (Iron Point Road/Cavitt Dr). Additionally, the Project’s Iron Point Road driveway is anticipated to have level-of-service F operation on its southbound approach. The driveway operations are a potential issue for the Applicant, however since the delay is on private property it does not create a deficiency relative to General Plan policies.

As with the Existing 2024 plus Project discussion above, after describing anticipated Project related deficiencies, abatement is presented. Rather than an intersection-by-intersection abatement approach, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell St is proposed. This approach is proposed because existing/anticipated operational issues arise from demand exceeding capacity at the East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd intersection and difficulty maintainin g signal coordination that is operationally interrupted when pedestrians utilize crosswalks to cross East Bidwell St. As with the 2024 deficiencies, d eficiencies at intersections adjacent to East Bidwell St also result from progression and queueing issues on East Bidwell St and improvements to signal coordination on East Bidwell Street abate deficiencies at nearby intersections as well. The list of deficiencies and abatements presented here expands on the list presented previously for Existing 2024 plus Pro ject conditions.

Note that where queuing is discussed below, it refers to either existing or anticipated 95 th percentile
queue length. 95th percentile queue length is the length that is anticipated be exceeded five percent of the time. In simple terms if a signal has a 90 second cycle length, the 95 th percentile queue would be expected to be exceeded two times during the peak hour. Because signals along East Bidwell generally have a 120 second to 156 second cycle length, the 95
th percentile queue may not occur at all during the
peak hour.
#2 East Bidwell St/Scholar Way (2029 EPAP plus Project conditions) This intersection has 95 th percentile left turn queues that are longer than available storage and are worsened by Project traffic.

Project related queue spillback is anticipated on one of the four approaches:

The southbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95th percentile left turn queue length of 317 feet, which exceeds available storage of 230 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

76 #3 East Bidwell St/Power Center Dr (2029 EPAP plus Project conditions) This intersection has 95 th percentile left turn queues that are longer than available storage and are worsened by Project traffic, and a level-of-service deficiency that is caused by the Project.

Project related queue spillback is anticipated on one of the four approaches:

The southbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95th percentile left turn queue length of 376 feet, which exceeds available storage of 240 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

Level-of-service:

Prior to the addition of Project traffic, the intersection is anticipated to operate at level-of-service C during the PM peak hour and level-of-service E with the addition of Project traffic. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

Project related queue spillback is anticipated on two of the four approaches:
• The westbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 306 feet, which exceeds available storage of 2 40 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95 th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.
• The southbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 313 feet, which exceeds available storage of 2 30 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95 th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

As stated above, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell St is proposed as abatement. That EPAP 2029 plus Project abatement strategy is discussed after a description of all the deficiencies.
#5 East Bidwell St/Via Sole deficiencies (EPAP 2029 plus Project conditions) This intersection serves as the primary access to the Broadstone Villas apartments which were still under construction in 2024 and assumed to be occupied by 2029. The eastern leg of this intersection serves as the primary access point to the approved Broadstone Villas project.

Project related queue spillback is anticipated on one of the four approaches:
• The eastbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 206 feet, which exceeds available storage of 75 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated issue is a result of the Project, however because it occurs on private property it is not considered a deficiency relative

09/09/2025 Item No.5.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

77 to General Plan policies. There is a similar issue on the eastbound approach during the AM peak hour, however the 95th percentile queue length is extended by less than one car length and the issue occurs on private property and thus is not considered to be a Project related deficiency.

As stated above, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell Street is proposed as abatement. That EPAP 2029 plus Project abatement strategy is discussed after a description of all the deficiencies.
#6 East Bidwell St/Via Felice deficiencies (EPAP 2029 plus Project conditions) This intersection (and the Cavitt Dr extension) serves as the primary access to the Project. The Project along with Broadstone Villas, adds an eastbound approach to this intersection and is anticipated to generate high demand for pedestrian crossings of East Bidwell.

Project related queue spillback is anticipated on three of the four approaches:
• The eastbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 25 3 feet, which exceeds available storage of 75 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated issue is a result of the Project, however because it occurs on private property it is not considered a deficiency relative to General Plan policies. Additionally, there is “three -way-stop-control” at the upstream intersection within the Palladio so that outgoing Palladio traffic cannot block incoming Palladio traffic. There is a similar issue on this eastbound approach during the AM peak hour, however the 95th percentile queue length is not extended by more than one car length, and the issue occurs on private property and thus is not considered to be a Project related deficiency. • The northbound approach is anticipated to have a PM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 258 feet which exceeds the storage capacity of 250 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95 th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.
• The southbound approach is anticipated to have an AM peak hour 95th percentile left turn queue length of 305 feet and a PM peak hour 95th percentile left turn queue length of 331 feet, both of which exceed available storage of 250 feet and are more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. These anticipated deficiencies are a result of the Project.

Pedestrians Safety:

The Project is anticipated to generate 75 AM peak hour pedestrian trips and 109 PM peak hour pedestrian trips. Half (or more) of those pedestrian trips are anticipated to cross East Bidwell Street and the additional pedestrian traffic makes it impractical to maintain coordinated signal timing plans. Without abatement on East Bidwell Street, the road widths, traffic volumes, and congestion is anticipated to experience an unsafe pedestrian environment. Portions of the anticipated signal timing and pedestrian safety issues are a result of the Project.

Level-of-service:

Prior to the addition of Project traffic, the intersection is anticipated to operate at level-of-service D during the PM peak hour and level-of-service E with the addition of Project traffic. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

78 As stated above, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell Street is proposed as abatement. That EPAP 2029 plus Project abatement strategy is discussed after a description of all the deficiencies.

#7 East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd deficiencies (EPAP 2029 plus Project conditions) Without the Project there are queue spillback issues on three of the four approaches to the intersection and the level-of-service is anticipated to fail to meet the City’s level-of-service D policy during the AM and PM peak hour (General Plan Policy M 4.1.3). Level- of-service and queueing are anticipated to worsen in the future with or without the P roject until additional interchanges and bridges accessing US 50 and Folsom Ranch are constructed. Project traffic is anticipated to contribute to the worsening queue spillback. Project traffic also causes the AM peak hour level- of-service to become deficient and worsens the PM peak hour level-of-service deficiency.

Project related queue spillback is anticipated on two of the four approaches:
• The westbound approach is anticipated to have an AM peak hour 95 th percentile left turn queue length of 635 feet and a PM peak hour 95th percentile left turn queue length of 622 feet, both of which exceed available storage of 240 feet and are more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. These anticipated deficiencies are a result of the Project. • The southbound approach is anticipated to have an AM peak hour 95th percentile left turn queue length of 468 feet, which exceeds available storage of 440 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95 th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

Level-of-service:

Prior to the addition of Project traffic, the intersection is anticipated to operate at level-of-service E during the AM peak hour and level -of-service F during the PM. With the addition of Project traffic, the intersection level-of-service is not anticipated to change, but the AM peak hour delay is anticipated to increase by more than 5 seconds which is considered a Project related deficiency.

79 As stated above, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell St is proposed as abatement. That EPAP 2029 plus Project abatement strategy is discussed after a description of all the deficiencies.

#15 Iron Point Rd/Cavitt Dr deficiencies (EPAP 2029 plus Project Conditions) Without the Project there are queue spillback issues on one of the four approaches to the intersection and the level -of-service fails to meet the City’s level -of-service D policy (General Plan Policy M 4.1.3) during the PM peak -hour. These operational issues are related to the downstream westbound left turn queue at the East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd intersection which causes queueing at Iron Point Rd/Cavitt Dr as vehicles pre -position for downstream left turns. Level -of-service and q ueueing are anticipated to worsen in the future with or without the Project until additional interchanges and bridges accessing US 50 and Folsom Ranch are constructed to relieve traffic at East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd. Project traffic is anticipated to contribute to the worsening queue spillback and level-of-service.

Project related queue spillback is anticipated on one of the four approaches:
• The northbound approach is anticipated to have a P M peak hour 95th percentile left turn queue length of 333 feet, which exceeds available storage of 250 feet and is more than one car length longer than the 95th percentile queue without the Project. This anticipated deficiency is the result of the Project.

Project related level-of-service deficiencies are anticipated:
• The level-of service during the PM peak hour is anticipated to worsen from D to F. This anticipated deficiency is a result of the Project.

As stated above, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell St is proposed as abatement. That EPAP 2029 plus Project abatement strategy is discussed after a description of all the deficiencies.
#16 Iron Point Rd/Project driveway (EPAP 2029 plus Project conditions) This intersection is a right-in/right-out Project driveway with uncontrolled traffic on Iron Point Rd and side-street-stop-controlled traffic on the driveway. Without the Project there is no driveway at this location. Driveway level-of-service is anticipated to be level-of service E with 48.9 seconds of delay during the morning and level-of-service F with 1150 seconds of delay during the evening. Because these delays occur on private property, they are not a deficiency related to General Plan policies.

The delay is the result of outgoing vehicles that want to cross to the westbound left turn lanes for East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd (and ultimately head toward or across the freeway), and the backups are the result of congestion at East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd. Abatement for East Bidwell St is anticipated to reduce delays on this driveway to about a minute. As stated above, a study area wide approach based on improved signal coordination and pedestrian safety along East Bidwell St is proposed as abatement. That EPAP 2029 plus Project abatement strategy is discussed after a description of all the deficiencies.

80 7.4 EPAP 2029 Plus Project Conditions Abatement (Abatement 2) Abatement 2 builds on Abatement 1 with additional and Turn Pocket Extensions and further refinement of the coordinated signal timing plan for the East Bidwell corridor.

Extension of left-turn pockets along the East Bidwell St:

Three left turn pockets require extensions to avoid secondary deficiencies from 95 th percentile left turn queues spilling back out of their pockets with the updated timing plans. These include:

East Bidwell/Scholar Way
• The eastbound left turn pocket shall be extended to 265 feet, not including the entry taper. (This pocket is extended to 210 feet by Abatement 1.)
• The southbound left turn pocket shall be extended to 300 feet, not including the entry taper. • The Project is responsible for these improvements.

East Bidwell/ Power Center Dr
• The northbound left turn pocket shall be extended from 250 feet, not including the entry taper. (This pocket is extended to 250 feet by Abatement 1.)
• The Project is responsible for this improvement.

East Bidwell/ Broadstone Pkwy
• The northbound left turn pocket shall be extended to 270 feet, not including the entry taper. (This pocket is extended to 260 feet by Abatement 1.)
• The southbound left turn pocket shall be extended to 280 feet, not including the entry taper. • The Project is responsible for these improvements.

East Bidwell/ Via Felice
• The East Bidwell/Via Felice southbound left turn pocket shall be extended from 2 50 feet to 380 feet, not including the entry taper.
• The Project is responsible for this improvement.

East Bidwell/ Iron Point Road
• The westbound left turn pocket shall be extended to the Project’s Iron Point Rd driveway (identical to Abatement 1).

Signal Coordination:

Timing plans developed for this analysis include:
• Phasing changes at East Bidwell St/Via Felice (Kilrush Dr) to accommodate the extension of Kilrush Drive,

Page 174 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.5.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

81 • Nonstandard phasing at East Bidwell St/Power Center Dr to accommodate double left turn phases to minimize northbound and southbound left turns queue lengths (note 2029 abatement was able to remove that nonstandard phasing),
• Cycle lengths of 156 seconds,
• A 90th percentile coordinated green band northbound and southbound along East Bidwell St at least 60-70 seconds,
• Eastbound/westbound pedestrian crossings times are lengthened so that the pedestrian clearance interval accommodate s the MUTCD 3.5 ft/sec walking speed during the pedestrian clearance (“flashing don’t walk”) interval, and reducing the initial walk interval from 7 seconds to 4 seconds as needed to allow for faster recovery of coordination after a pedestrian call breaks coordination.
• Eastbound/westbound split phasing at East Bidwell St/Broadstone Pkwy and East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd.

The Project is responsible for developing and implementing signal timing to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Recommended timing plans for the AM and PM peak hours are provided in Appendix D.

Iron Point Road/Cavitt Dr and Iron Point Rd/Project (Iron Point Rd) Driveway:

That queueing is anticipated to be abated by improvements along the East Bidwell corridor. Table 20 includes abated level-of-service and queuing results for these locations to document that those deficiencies are addressed by Abatement 2.
2029 Abatement Demonstration
Table 21 below shows level of service and queueing data without the Project, with the Project, and with the abated Project. Violations of City General Plan policies that are not considered to be Project impacts are shown with a grey highlight. Project related deficiencies are shown with an orange highlight. Several movements are shown in a red font, these were used for and are presented as part of a quality assurance quality control check that documents that abated approach queues to the study area are generally reduced and/or to check the length of through queues near the proposed pedestrian bridge.

With the recommended abatements, Project traffic is not anticipated to cause new or worsen existing deficiencies relative to the City’s General Plan policies. As discussed above, an internal queueing issue (within the Palladio) on eastbound Via Felice will remain without the addition of a stop sign to break up and meter the queue, however that is not anticipated to effect General Plan policy compliance. The Project would also lengthen the eastbound left turn queue at East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd where there is already an existing statement of overriding considerations in the General Plan CEQA determination. It therefore is not considered to be a new CEQA impact and is generally allowed as an exception to the General Plan policies.

Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

85 8. INTERNAL CIRCULATION/ACCESS SITE PLAN REVIEW
A preliminary site plan was provided as Figure 2. This section reviews parking, driveway throat- depth, on-site emergency vehicle access, and pedestrian access.

8.1 Parking Requirements
The Project is within the Broadstone Unit No. 3 Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan includes a parking standard for office and retail commercial uses in the C -2 zoning district of one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area . With 200,840 sqft of space the Project requires 804 parking spaces. 858 spaces are provided. The Project is therefor e adequately parked relative to Folsom code. A check against ITE parking guidance was also done as medical office uses are not explicitly addressed in Folsom municipal code or the Broadstone Unit No. 3 Specific Plan. That review, shown in Table 22, was done on a parcel -by-parcel basis and shows that the proposed parking meets or exceeds both the ITE recommendations and City requirements both for the Project as a whole and on a parcel-by-parcel basis.

Table 22. Parking demand cross reference.

Building Sqft Metric ITE Parking Demand Proposed Project Broadstone Unit No. 3 Specific Plan
Medical Office 106,500 demand 3.23 spaces per 1000 sqft 4.5 spaces/1000 sqft 1 space per 250 sqft spaces 344.0 480 426
Office 48,840 demand 2.39 spaces per 1000 sqft 1 space per 250 sqft 1 space per 250 sqft spaces 116.7 196 196
Office 45,500 demand 2.39 spaces per 1000 sqft 1 space per 250 sqft 1 space per 250 sqft spaces 108.7 182 182
Total 200,840 Spaces 569.5 858 804

Finding: The Project is anticipated to need a total of 570 parking spaces, with the Broadstone Unit No. 3 Specific Plan requiring 804 parking spaces. The proposed 858 spaces are both adequate and meet City of Folsom requirements.

8.2 Minimum Required Throat-Depth
Minimum Required Throat-Depth (MRTD): The minimum required throat depth is a function of the characteristics of the roadway being accessed and the proposed land use. • Project driveways access the extension of Kilrush Drive and the westbound side of the divided Iron Point Road. The wider roadway width would be the 60’ half section of Iron Point Road. In combination with the 200,840 sqft of medical office and office space, a 175-foot throat depth is required.
• The preliminary site plan allows for 300-feet of throat depth between the two driveways, which is more than sufficient to meet City of Folsom requirements.

Finding: The Project has adequate throat depth.

Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

86 8.3 Emergency Vehicle Access
The Project’s internal drive isles have 25 -foot inner/50 -foot outer minimum turning radii to accommodate fire department access. In addition to the primary access, separate emergency vehicle access is also provided.

Finding: Emergency vehicle access is anticipated to be adequate.

8.4 Right-Turn Deceleration/Acceleration Lanes and Tapers for Driveways For driveways on minor or major arterials, City standards require a 60-foot right turn taper in conditions with ten or more peak-hour right turns into a driveway, and a 150-foot pocket plus 60- foot taper, with fifty or more peak-hour right turns18.

The Project’s Kilrush Dr driveway is anticipated to have up to 302 inbound right turns and a 150- foot pocket plus 60-foot taper. Kilrush Dr is not a minor or major arterial and therefore does not require any changes.

The Project’s Iron Point Rd driveway is anticipated to have up to 30 inbound right turns from Iron Point R oad. A right turn taper is required . The site plan’s depiction of a planned right turn deceleration lane and taper at this location does not require any changes.

Finding: Driveway access geometry is anticipated to be adequate.

8.5 Pedestrian Access
While traffic counts show relatively low demand for pedestrian crossings of East Bidwell St (6 or fewer crossings combined between the East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd and East Bidwell St/Broadstone Pkwy intersections) , i t is anticipated the Project ’s 200,840 sqft of space will accommodate approximately 670 employees (1 employee per 300 sqft). Institute of Transportation Engineers trip generation data (Section 5.2) estimates that the Project will generate 75 AM peak hour pedestrian trips and 109 PM peak hour pedestrian trips. This translates into enough demand to expect pedestrian phase calls to cro ss East Bidwell during nearly every cycle of the traffic signal at East Bidwell /Via Felice.

Microsimulation of the effect of those pedestrian crossings to the signal coordination on East Bidwell St was shown in Section 5 and Section 6. That analysis showed that level-of-service at East Bidwell St /Via Felice would fail to meet General Plan policy level- of-service D standard and that there would be extensive queue. The City and TKTPM believe that this creates a dangerous and frustrating environment for Pedestrians. Having adequate time and space to separate Pedestrian and vehicle traffic is particularly important near medical facilities which are frequented by the elderly and infirm.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

87 A pedestrian over crossing (bridge) of East Bidwell St is recommended to maintain a safe pedestrian environment. A pedestrian bridge is also a key part of the abatement strategy for Project vehicle traffic. The pedestrian bridge addresses both the increases in vehicle and pedestrian traffic associated with the Project, and vehicle traffic from other foreseeable Projects.

Therefore, it is appropriate that the Project pays for its fair share of the cost of the pedestrian bridge.

Fair share is typically based on the project’s percentage of growth in vehicle traffic, which in this case is 15% for the PM peak hour. This is calculated as the Project’s contribution to traffic on East Bidwell Street during the PM peak hour between Placerville Rd and Scholar Way (anticipated 589 project trips) divided by the anticipated 2024 to 2029 growth in PM peak hour traffic on the same segment of East Bidwell St (1 4,881 vehicle trips in 2024 and anticipated 18,828 vehicle trips in 2029).

The Applicant shall make land available to the City on each side of East Bidwell Street for the ends of the pedestrian bridge and provide environmental analysis and preliminary design to develop a bid-ready package for construction of the pedestrian bridge . The cost of the required land, environmental work, and design work shall be considered part of the Project ’s fair share contribution toward offsite improvements and may be subject to a fee credit/reimbursement agreement between the Applicant and City.

89 9. FINDINGS AND RECOMENDATIONS

9.1 Trip Generation
The Project is anticipated to generate 5571 daily vehicle trips, 541 AM peak-hour vehicle trips, and 718 PM peak-hour vehicle trips.

9.2 General Plan Consistency
The Project is consistent with the General Plan land use and zoning. The Project is anticipated to cause new or worsen existing deficiencies with respect to General Plan policy M 4.13 at eight locations:
• East Bidwell St/Scholar Way,
• East Bidwell St/Power Center Dr,
• East Bidwell St / Broadstone Pkwy,
• East Bidwell St/Via Sole,
• East Bidwell St/Kilrush Dr (Via Felice),
• East Bidwell St/Iron Point Rd,
• East Bidwell St/ Eastbound ramps,
• Iron Point Rd/Cavitt Dr,
Recommended abatement measures are located in Section 7 of this report.

9.3 CEQA Impacts and Mitigation
There are three categories of Project related CEQA impacts considered by this analysis: VMT; pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure; and safety.

Category 1 – VMT
With an anticipated 14.3 VMT per capita, The Project is anticipated to generate less than 70% of the regional baseline office VMT per capita of 20.9, and less than 74 % of the Folsom baseline office VMT per capita of 19.5.

CEQA Finding: The Project is therefore anticipated to have a less-than-significant VMT impact.

Category 2 – pedestrian, bicycle, and/or transit infrastructure The Project does not i nhibit the use of bicycle , pedestrian, and/or transit facilities; eliminate existing bicycle, pedestrian, and/or transit facilities; or prevent the implementation of planned bicycle, pedestrian, and/or transit facilities. Note that pedestrian safety is discussed below under the under Category 3 – Safety.

CEQA Finding: The Project’s impact on bicycle, pedestrian, and/or transit facilities under CEQA is anticipated to be less-than-significant.

Broadstone Crossing Phase II
Transportation Impact Study and Local Transportation Study

90 Category 3 – Safety
The Project is not anticipated to worsen existing accident rates or create unsafe conditions. The Project’s impact on accident rates under CEQA is anticipated to be less-than-significant.

CEQA Finding: The Project is not anticipated to worsen existing accident rates or create unsafe conditions. The Project’s impact on accident rates under CEQA is anticipated to be less -than- significant.

9.4 Parking
The Project is anticipated to need a total of 570 parking spaces, with the Broadstone Unit No. 3 Specific Plan requiring 804 parking spaces. The proposed 858 spaces are both adequate and meet City of Folsom requirements.

9.5 Minimum Required Throat-Depth
The Project driveway throat-depth is anticipated to be adequate.

9.6 Emergency Vehicle Access
Emergency vehicle access is anticipated to be adequate.

9.7 Right-Turn Deceleration/Acceleration Lanes and Tapers for Driveways Driveway geometry is anticipated to be adequate.

9.8 Recommended Conditions of Approval
Apart from standard conditions there are several recommended conditions of approval provided:
• The applicant/owner shall execute a development agreement with City for a pedestrian overcrossing across East Bidwell Street located between Kilrush Drive and Iron Point Road prior to the issuance of the first building permit for the project based on the project’s fair share contribution that includes the following commitments from the applicant/owner:
 Payment for the design,
 Payment for environmental review covering both CEQA and NEPA  Dedication of land necessary for a pedestrian overcrossing across East Bidwell from the project site to the Palladio.
 .

• Applicant/owner shall be responsible for the geometric and signal timing improvements described in Abatement #1 and #2, as described in Section 7 of this report, to address level-of-service and queueing deficiencies relative to General Plan policies.

Because the abatement strategy functions on a corridor level rather than an intersection -by- intersection level, the City may need to modify the recommended abatement to accommodate additional project approvals. The City Engineer may modify the proposed abatement as other project applications are processed. However, any such modifications shall not increase the Project’s abatement cost.

Staff Report

1 MEETING DATE:

9/9/2025
AGENDA SECTION:

Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1356 - An Uncodified Ordinance Adopting Prima Facie Speed Limits on East Bidwell Street, Westwood Drive, Alder Creek Parkway, Grand Prairie Road, and Mangini Parkway (Second Reading and Adoption)

FROM: Public Works Department

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION

The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council conduct the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1356 – An Uncodified Ordinance Adopting Prima Facie Speed Limits on East Bidwell Street, Westwood Drive, Alder Creek Parkway, Grand Prairie Road, and Mangini Parkway.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE

California state law requires local agencies to establish speed limits on public streets based on an Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Zoning (ETS). Procedures are defined in both the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and the Manual on Uniform Traffic C ontrol Devices (MUTCD).

A new ETS must be conducted when a roadway is newly opened or when traffic conditions have significantly changed. If the ETS recommends a speed limit above the statutory minimum (25 MPH) and below the maximum (65 MPH), the limit mus t be adopted by ordinance after a public hearing. Ordinance No. 1356 was introduced at the 8/26/2025 City Council meeting and no changes have been made since the first reading.

POLICY / RULE

Section 10.08.030 of the Folsom Municipal Code states that speed limits shall be established by an Engineering and Traffic Study and adopted by ordinance of the City Council.

Page 193 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.6.
2 ANALYSIS

Speed limits are set to establish a uniform speed that allows traffic to safely traverse a given road segment. The underlying theory is that a proper speed limit will improve traffic flow by reducing conflicts between vehicles traveling at greatly differing speeds. Artificially low limits can create safety problems (i.e., rear -end collisions, tailgating ), while artificially high limits can be unsafe under normal roadway and environmental conditions. If a proper speed limit is posted, those motorists who significantly exceed the posted limit are considered unsafe compared to the general traffic flow and can be cited. Further, an ETS allows speed limits to be enforced with radar.

Speed surveys are necessary to determine speed limits in excess of the minimum speed limit of 25 MPH but less than the state maximum limit of either 55 or 65 MPH , depending on the roadway’s functional classification. Certain roadways or sections of roadways have “prima facie” limits associated with them. A “prima facie” speed does not require a radar survey, as long as the road segment in question meets specific requirements. Some examples of “pr ima facie” limits are as follows:

1. 25 MPH on residential streets that are less than 40 feet wide, not more than one -half mile between traffic control devices, and only one lane of traffic per direction.

2. 25 MPH in business districts, as defined by the California Vehicle Code.

3. 25 MPH when passing a senior center or senior housing facility with proper signage posted.

4. 25 MPH when passing a children’s play area during times when children are typically present (usually dawn to dusk).

5. 25 MPH when passing a school while children are present, when the school is not separated from the roadway by a fence. When th e school is fenced, then the 25 MPH limit only applies when children are going to or coming from school, if the roadway is used by school age pedestrians to access the campus.

6. 15 MPH in alleys
On roadways that do not meet these criteria, an ETS must be performed to determine the proper prima facie speed. An ETS evaluates existing roadway geometric conditions, collision history, and the land uses adjacent to a given road segment. A radar survey is conducted to determine the 85th- percentile speed (the speed that is not exceeded by 85 percent of vehicles surveyed), the average speed, and the 10 MPH pace (a 10 MPH range of speeds in which the majority of vehicle s were traveling). The nearest 5 MPH increment to the 85 th-percentile speed is typically deemed the appropriate speed limit, unless other conditions are present that, in the opinion of the traffic engineer, justify further reduction; in which case , the engineer may cite a one -time, downward zoning of an additional five miles per hour.

In accordance with the C VC and the MUTCD, traffic engineers also retain the professional discretion to reduce the posted speed limit by an additional 5 MPH when specific roadway or

Page 194 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.6.
3 environmental conditions exist that are not readily apparent to the average motorist. Such conditions may include limited sight distance due to curves or hills, hi gh pedestrian activity in areas without marked crosswalks, unexpected driveway or intersection density, or unique roadside development patterns. This provision intends to enhance safety where hazards may not be immediately visible, ensuring that the establ ished speed limit reflects not just prevailing traffic speeds but also latent safety considerations. Justification for the applicable roadway segments is below.

1. Westwood Drive (Alder Creek Parkway to Mangini Parkway)

Justification: Surrounding land uses include residential neighborhoods on both sides of the roadway. Sidewalks and bike lanes run along the majority of the road in both directions, supporting year-round pedestrian and bicycle activity. The roadway consists of a single lane in each direction s eparated by a planted median. Multiple residential driveways and intersecting local streets increase the number of potential conflict points. Recommended speed limit is within the 10 MPH pace range.

2. Alder Creek Parkway (Westwood Drive to Rustic Ridge Circle)

Justification: Land uses are primarily residential on both sides of the roadway. Sidewalks and bike lanes run along the majority of the road in both directions, and the segment includes a planted median. High pedestrian activity occurs due to nearby p ark access, with crossing activity at uncontrolled locations. Recommended speed limit is within the 10 MPH pace range.

3. Mangini Parkway (Savannah Parkway to Empire Ranch Road)

Justification: The roadway is flanked by residential neighborhoods on both sides. Sidewalks and bike lanes are present in both directions. Multiple driveways and unsignalized intersections contribute to potential turning conflicts. The corridor’s geometry, combined with residential access points, supports a lower posted limit while remaining within the 10 MPH pace range.

The Public Works Department conducts speed surveys on a road -by-road basis, establishing logical segments along each roadway based on geometry and adja cent land use. The item before the Council focuses on six specific segments where speed limits are proposed or updated based on the results of recent traffic engineering surveys. The first recommendation is to establish a 30 mph speed limit on Westwood Drive between Alder Creek Parkway and Mangini Parkway. The second is to establish a 35 mph limit on Alder Creek Parkway between Westwood Drive and Rustic Ridge Circle. The third proposes a 35 mph limit on Mangini Parkway between Savannah Parkway and Empire Ranch Road. A fourth recommends a 35 mph limit on Grand Prairie Road between Summit Street/Rustic Ridge Circle and Alder Creek Parkway. The fifth recommendation is for Mangini Parkway between East Bidwell Street and Oak Avenue Parkway. Finally, a 45 mph speed limit is proposed for East Bidwell Street between the US -50 eastbound off-ramp and White Rock Road.

These recommended speed limits were developed through data analysis and thorough evaluation of traffic conditions, roadway characteristics, and adjacent land uses on each surveyed segment.

FROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION

The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11455 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement (Contract No. 173 -21 23-049) with Water Systems Consult ing, Inc. for $31,464 with $15,732 from the Water Impact Fee Fund (Fund 456) and $15,732 from the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) for the City of Folsom Water Vision and Appropriation of Funds.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE

On August 22, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 11089 with Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) to complete the City’s Water Vision planning process. EWR staff recommended a Water Vision planning process to evaluate water supply alternatives to meet customer demands during drought or infrastructure outages, to consider water supply impacts due to climate variability, and to include key stakeholders and customers in the development process.

The process evaluated the adequacy and reliability of the City’s water supplies, developed a water supply portfolio that addresses water supply reliability, resiliency, and sustainability, and developed recommendations to provide long -term guidance for managing these supplies through the Stakeholder process.

Page 207 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.7.
2 Based on feedback from City Council d uring the February 20, 2023 City Council meeting, a focused stakeholder group consisting of 20 -25 members of the community was created, which included all seven Utility Commissioners. The program contents below were presented to the stakeholder group and the public in six workshops for public comment, feedback, and discussion.  City water supplies and contracts.
 City’s current and future water use.
 Statewide landscape regarding water usage.
 Potential threats to the City’s water supplies.
 Opportunities for water supply reliability, resiliency, and redundancy.

POLICY / RULE

In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of the Folsom Municipal Code , supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $75,049 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.

The 2035 General Plan outlines the necessary public facilities and services (PFS) to serve the needs of existing and future residents and businesses. The policies within Section 7 of the General Plan seek to ensure that PFS are provided and maintained, so that Fol som can continue to grow and thrive to 2023 and beyond.

Folsom General Plan 2035 , Goal PFS 3.1/Objective 3.1.5 – Coordinate with regional and sub - regional agencies to ensure the reliability of an adequate water supply.

Folsom General Plan 2035, Goal PFS 3.1/Objective 3.1.7 – Provide an adequate supply of water for all users in Folsom now and in the future.

Folsom General Plan 2035, Goal PFS 3.1/Objective 3.1.8 – Require water resources be developed in coordination with local flood management, water conservation, and groundwater agencies.

Folsom General Plan 2035, Goal PFS 3.1/Objective 3.1.11 – Ensure a resilient water storage and distribution system that can rapidly recover in the event of a disaster.

ANALYSIS

The intent of the Water Vision was to initiate a City-wide discussion and an opportunity for public participation in the long -range (at least 50 years) planning of Folsom’s future water supply. The planning process was structured into eight key stages across six workshops, including:
 Defining planning objectives to reflect city values, desired outcomes, and process goals  Assessing risks and vulnerabilities in the current supply  Screening potential projects for supply improvements
 Developing themed water supply portfolios
 Evaluating and refining these portfolios
 Identifying a recommended future supply portfolio
 Creating an adaptable roadmap for implementation
 Documenting the process in a comprehensive report

Page 208 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.7.
3 City staff along with WSC conducted six stakeholder and public meetings throughout the process of the Water Vision. The workshops covered the following:
 Workshop 1: Your Water Values & Goals
 Workshop 2: Our Drinking Water Supply
 Workshop 3: Confirm New Water Supply Alternatives
 Workshop 4: Future Water Supply Portfolios
 Workshop 5: Defining the Recommended Portfolio
 Workshop 6: Adaptable Implementation Roadmap

This amendment provides for additional work requested by EWR staff during the workshops and for two new items moving forward to complete the project. The additional items below are outside the original scope of work and staff request an amendment to the agreement to complete the work for the Water Vision process.
 Stakeholder meeting packets – WSC developed stakeholder meetings packets to provide to the stakeholder prior to each of the six meetings. This effort was not included in the original scope of work and benefited the process by having more focused and robust public meeting discussions because the stakeholders had time prior to the meetings to review the meeting content.
 Additional project team meetings – At the request of EWR staff, WSC conducted additional coordination meetings with certain stakeholders that provided specific feedback throughout the Water Vision process. This allowed for a better understanding of their comments, concerns, and ideas about the various topics covered during the six workshops and will allow WSC to better incorporate this information into the draft and final reports.

This also included comments and feedback received during the process on the adaptive implementation roadmap that provided for the phasing and timing of recommended portfolio approaches.
 Supply and demand evaluations – EWR staff asked WSC to incorporate a risk -based calculation when evaluating existing water system vulnerabilities, which was not included in the original scope of work. This allowed the project team to identify the risk leve l of the various system vulnerabilities being evaluated while factoring in the probability of the event occurring and the impact of the event. The total risk for each challenge is composed of its impact on water supply and the likelihood of its occurrence.  Enhanced Executive Summary – this request will provide for the development of a more graphically enhanced summary of the Water Vision process. This will provide for a document that is more accessible to the public without having to read the entire report and distills all the information into a user-friendly document.  Public draft report comment log – this request will allow for the development of an appendix to document public comments and the associated responses to comments when the public draft report is circulated.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The Water Vision process was not included in the Fiscal Year 2025 -26 operating budget. The Environmental and Water Resources Department is requesting a total appropriation of $31,464 with $15,732 to be appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2025 -26 Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) budget and $15,732 to be appropriated in the Water Impact Fee Fund (Fund 456) for an updated

9/9/2025
AGENDA SECTION:

New Business
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11456 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Dewberry Engineers Inc. for $541,442 from the Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530) for
Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Basin 4 Sewer Phase 1 Project (WW2201) and Appropriation of Funds

FROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION

The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11456 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Dewberry Engineers Inc. for $541,442 from the Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530) for Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Basin 4 Sewer Phase 1 Project (WW2201) and Appropriation of Funds.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE

The Environmental and Water Resources (EWR) Department identifies infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects through water and sewer master plans, ongoing condition assessment programs, and regulatory changes. As a condition of the City’s State permit for its wastewater collection system, the EWR Department is required to perform ongoing condition assessments on the wastewater system and correct any defects/deficiencies identified through this process. Through these efforts, EWR staff identified the Basin 4 Sewer Phase 1 Project as a priority project.

Page 229 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.10.
2 Alley between Sibley Street and Riley Street, approximately 1,000 feet of sewer pipeline along Sutter Street between Scott Street and Coloma Street, and the rehabilitation and repair of a sewer manhole near Oak Avenue Parkway and East Bidwell. Additionally, the project consists of relining approximately 16 sanitary sewer manholes near East Bidwell and Clarksville Road and 1 sanitary sewer manhole on Sutter Street as well replacing the flow meter at Pump Station No. 2. This project will reduce inflow and infiltration, minimize annual maintenance costs, and minimize the risk of sewer overflows.

This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Dewberry Engineers Inc. for Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Basin 4 Sewer Phase 1 Project for a not-to-exceed amount of $541,442 and appropriation of funds.

POLICY / RULE

In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of the Folsom Municipal Code, supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $75,049 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.

ANALYSIS

In January 2025, the EWR Department completed a pre -qualification process for consultants for construction management services for water and wastewater projects. The firms Dewberry Engineers Inc., Psomas, and West Yost & Associates, Inc. were among a group of firms selected to provide these services for this type o f project through this previously completed pre - qualification process.

On June 26, 2025, the City re quested proposals from these consultants to provide construction management services consisting of resident engineer services, full-time on-site inspection, project schedule tracking, review and/or coordination of project submittals, coordination with the other on-going City construction projects, labor compliance review, customer coordination, materials testing, and overall owner representation throughout construction of the Basin 4 Sewer Phase 1 Project. On July 18, 2025, EWR received proposals from Dewberry Engineers Inc., Psomas, and West Yost & Associates, Inc. The scope of work included the following assumptions that were required to be included in the proposals.

1. Construction Period: 150 calendar days
a. Full time inspector for duration of project
b. Resident Engineer for duration of the project

2. Pre-construction and post -construction period (submittals, punch list, final project walkthrough, as-builts, change order support): 90 calendar days a. Inspector for 50% of period duration
b. Resident Engineer for 50% of period duration

3. Night work: 10 shifts

4. Materials testing
a. Compaction testing at eight (8) locations
b. Concrete testing (sidewalk, curb, and gutter)

5. Special inspections
a. Sewer manhole coating

Page 230 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.10.
3 b. Cured in place pipeline (CIPP)
c. Sewer manhole injection grouting

Based on the scope of work assumptions described above, EWR staff calculated approximately 2,400 hours of work required for the duration of the project. This includes inspection time during regular working hours , night work inspection hours, resident engineer time, and administration support time for the project. These assumptions are based on previous City projects of similar size and scope.

The proposals were evaluated by three EWR staff members for technical evaluation prior to reviewing project costs. The proposals were reviewed and scored for project understanding, project team qualifications and experience, recent relevant project experience, and understanding of the scope of work. The technical evaluations were scored as shown in Table 1.

Consultant EWR 1 EWR 2 EWR 3 Average
Dewberry Engineers Inc. 66 68 69 67.7
Psomas 67 69 67 67.7
West Yost & Associates, Inc. 70 66 62 66.0
Table 1: Consultant Technical Scores without Costs

After reviewing each proposal for project understanding, project team qualifications and experience, recent relevant project experience , and understanding of the scope of work , the proposals were reviewed for project costs. The fee schedules for the scope of work outlined in the request for proposal from each consultant are shown in Table 2.

Consultant Total Fee Amount
Dewberry Engineers Inc. $541,441.36
Psomas $710,556.00
West Yost & Associates, Inc. $424,260.00
Table 2: Consultant Project Costs

EWR staff noted various differences and assumptions used amongst the 3 proposers related to pre- construction work, work during construction, and work during project closeout . To better understand the impacts of the consultant costs and related working hour s, EWR staff compare d the direct hours and corresponding direct cost s from each proposal for work expected to be performed by the Project Manager, Resident Engineer, Inspector (regular time), Inspector (night work), and Administration for pre-construction services, services during construction and post - construction services. These were then compared to the assumptions included in the RFP described above. The direct hours from each consultant are shown in Table 3. The direct costs per hour from each consultant are shown in Table 4.

4 Psomas 208 1,736 588 2,532
West Yost & Associates, Inc. 18 1,245 100 1,363
Table 3: Consultant Direct Hours

Based on the review of the associated hours within each proposal there was a significant difference between the hours submitted by West Yost & Associates, Inc. compared to Dewberry Engineers Inc. and Psomas. The hours provided by West Yost & Associates, Inc. are significantly lower than the calculated hours assumed in the RFP by EWR staff and by the hours proposed by the other two consultant firms.

To better understand the cost impacts , EWR staff calculated the direct cost per hour of all three firms as sh own in the table below. Increasing West Yost’s hours to 2,400 hours (1,037 hour increase), would yield an additional funding need of approximately $260,000 above West Yost’s direct costs of $341,573 listed below for a revised not-to-exceed amount of approx imately $600,000, which is higher than the other two consultant firms for slightly less total hours. EWR staff considers the proposal by West Yost & Associates, Inc. insufficient to meet the project needs and does not adequately represent the necessary working hours needed for this project.

Consultant Direct Cost Total Direct Hours

Dewberry Engineers Inc. $513,846.47 2,469 $208.12

West Yost & Associates, Inc. $341,573.00 1,363 $250.60
Table 4: Consultant Cost Per Hour

Dewberry Engineers Inc. was determined to provide the best value to the City based on the scope of work provided in their proposal, the project team, their expertise for this type of project, and the fee amount that aligned with the assumptions provided in the RFP . Dewberry Engineers Inc. included a detailed and thorough project understanding as well as past relevant experience with similar projects. Dewberry Engineers Inc. also went above and beyond and provided a complimentary constructability re view in their proposal, which highlighted some potential challenges with the project and ideas of how to mitigate them. EWR staff was able to incorporate some of the items of the constructability review into an addendum for this project ’s construction bid, potentially preventing some complications during the construction phase. Table 5 shows the overall total scores including direct project costs based on a maximum score of 100.

Table 5: Consultant Overall Scoring Including Project Costs

This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Dewberry Engineers Inc. for Construction Management and Inspection services for the Basin 4 Sewer Phase 1 Project for a not-to-exceed amount of $541,442.

Page 40 ends

Example:

If the previous year’s City contribution for employee-only coverage was $500 and the Kaiser HMO premium increased by $20, the new City contribution would be:

$500 + (50% of $20) = $500 + $10 = $510

C. Employees who enroll in a health plan with a higher monthly premium than the City's maximum monthly contribution as established under part A and B above shall pay the difference between the maximum contribution amount and cost of the premium through payroll deduction.

A. Effective January 1, 2012, as demonstrated in the example below, employees shall be included in the same health plan design as the majority of City employees, including copayments. The City’s maximum monthly contribution for active employee health insurance coverage shall be adjusted annually to an amount equal to 50% of the increase, if any, above the prior year’s Kaiser monthly premium rate combined with the City’s prior year contribution amount for employee only, employee plus 1, and employee plus 2 or more (rounded to the next whole number).

The employee is responsible for the difference between the applicable premium and the City’s contribution.

Example:

Employee only category: The 2010 monthly premium for Kaiser employee only is $507.89 and the City’s maximum monthly contribution is $486.00. If this premium increases by 10% for 2011, or to $558.68, the City’s contribution for 2011 for the employee only ca tegory would be computed as follows: $558.68 - $507.89 = $50.79, $50.79 x 50% = $23.40, $486.00 + $23.40 = $509.40. After rounding to the next whole number, the City’s maximum contribution for health insurance for the employee only category would be $509 per month. If the premium increases by 10% for 2012, or to $614.55, the City’s contribution for 2012 for the employee only category would be computed as follows: $614.55 - $558.68 = $55.87, $55.87 x 50% = $27.93, $509.00 + $27.93 = $536.93. After roundin g to the next whole number, the City’s maximum contribution for health insurance for the employee only category would be $537 per month.

Employee plus 1 category: The 2010 monthly premium for Kaiser employee plus 1 is $1,015.78 and the City’s maximum monthly contribution is $972.00. If this premium increases by 10% for 2011, or to $1,117.36, the City’s contribution for 2011 for the employee plus 1 category would be computed as follows: $1,117.36 - $1,015.78 = $101.58, $101.58 x 50% = $50.79, $972.00 + $50.79. = $1,022.79.

After rounding to the next whole number, the City’s maximum contribution for health insurance for the employee plus 1 category would be $1,023 per month. If Formatted: Indent: Left: 1", No bullets or numbering
Formatted: No bullets or numbering

Page 284 ends

09/09/2025 Item No.11.

Page 41 ends

the premium increases by 10% for 2012, or to $1,229.10, the City’s contribution for 2012 for the employee plus 1 category would be computed as follows: $1,229.10 - $1,117.36 = $111.74, $111.74 x 50% = $55.87, $1,023.00 + $55.87. = $1,078.87.

After rounding to the next whole number, the City’s maximum contribution for health insurance for the employee plus 1 category would be $1,079 per month.

Employee plus 2 or more category: The 2010 monthly premium for Kaiser employee plus 2 or more is $1,320.52 and the City’s maximum monthly contribution is $1,263.00. If this premium increases by 10% for 2011, or to $1,452.57, the City’s contribution for 20 11 for the employee plus 2 or more category would be computed as follows: $1,452.57 - $1,320.00 = $132.57, $132.57 x 50% = $66.29, $1,263 + $66.29 = $1,329.29. After rounding to the next whole number, the City’s maximum contribution for health insurance f or the employee plus 2 or more category would be $1,329 per month. If the premium increases by 10% for 2012, or to $1,597.83 , the City’s contribution for 2012 for the employee plus 2 or more category would be computed as follows: $1,597.83 - $1,452.57 = $145.26, $145.26 x 50% = $72.63, $1,329 + $72.63 = $1,401.63. After rounding to the next whole number, the City’s maximum contribution for health insurance for the employee plus 2 or more category would be $1,402 per month.

B. Employees who select a health plan with higher monthly premiums than the maximum monthly premium paid by the City in Section (A) above shall pay the difference through payroll deduction. Should employees select a health plan with lower monthly premiums th an the maximum monthly premium paid the City, the City’s contribution shall be limited to the cost of the monthly premium.

C. Notwithstanding Section 2, Item A, the City's maximum monthly contribution for active employee health insurance coverage shall not be reduced below eighty percent (80%) of the Kaiser premium cost for the employee only category, employee plus 1 category, or employee plus 2 or more category.

D. The City will maintain an IRS 125 Medical Rei mbursement Account. Employees may participate in the account pursuant to administrative procedures established by the City.

E.
