(b) Detailed statements shall be rendered monthly for services performed in the preceding month and will be payable in the normal course of City business.

(c) The parties may modify this Agreement to increase or decrease the scope of services or provide for the rendition of services not required by this Agreement, which modification shall include an adjustment to the Consultant’s compensation. Any change in the scope of services must be made by written amendment to the Agreement signed by an authorized representative for each party. The Consultant shall not be entitled to any additional compensation if services are performed prior to a signed written amendment.

4. Termination, Remedies, and Force Majeure.
(a) This Agreement shall terminate without any liability of the City to the Consultant upon the earlier of: (i) the Consultant’s filing for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws, or any bankruptcy petition or petition for receiver commenced by a third party against the Consultant; (ii) seven calendar days prior written notice with or without cause by the City to the Consultant; (iii) the City’s non-appropriation of funds sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder during any City fiscal year of this Agreement, or insufficient funding for the Project; or (iv) expiration of this Agreement.

(c) In the event of termination due to failure of the Consultant to satisfactorily perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the City may withhold an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to, but not in excess of, the City’s damages caused by such failure. In no event shall any payment by the City pursuant to this Agreement constitute a waiver by the City of any breach of this Agreement which may then exist on the part of the Consultant, nor shall such payment impair or prejudice any remedy available to the City with respect to the breach.
(d) Upon any breach of this Agreement by the Consultant, the City may (i) exercise any right, remedy (in contract, law or equity), or privilege which may be available to it under applicable laws of the State of California or any other applicable law; (ii) proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms of the Agreement; and/or (iii) recover all direct, indirect, consequential, economic and incidental damages for the breach of the Agreement. If it is

ALL-B Generic CSA Not to Exceed (05-2024)
513855v1
3 of 18
determined that the City improperly terminated this Agreement for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience. (e) The Consultant shall provide the City with adequate written assurances of future performance, upon Administrator’s request, in the event the Consultant fails to comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement. (f) The Consultant shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Consultant and without its fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the City in its contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common carriers. The Consultant shall notify Administrator in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, and shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to Administrator of the cessation of such occurrence.

5. Confidential Information and Ownership of Documents. (a) Any reports, information, or other data prepared or assembled by the Consultant pursuant to this Agreement shall not be made available to any individual or organization by the Consultant without the prior written approval of the Administrator. During the term of this Agreement, and thereafter, the Consultant shall not, without the prior written consent of the City, disclose to anyone any Confidential Information. The term Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement shall include all proprietary and confidential information of the City, including but not limited to business plans, marketing plans, financial information, materials, compilations, documents, instruments, models, source or object codes and other information disclosed or submitted, orally, in writing, or by any other medium or media. All Confidential Information shall be and remain confidential and proprietary in the City. (b) Any and all writings and documents prepared or provided by the Consultant pursuant to this Agreement are the property of the City at the time of preparation and shall be turned over to the City upon expiration or termination of the Agreement.

(d) This Section 5 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

6. Professional Skill. It is further mutually understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that inasmuch as the Consultant represents to the City that the Consultant and its subcontractors, if any, are skilled in the profession and shall perform in accordance with the standards of said profession necessary to perform the services agreed to be done by it under this Agreement, the City relies upon the skill of the Consultant and any subcontractors to do and perform such services in a

ALL-B Generic CSA Not to Exceed (05-2024)
513855v1
4 of 18
skillful manner and the Consul tant agrees to thus perform the services and require the same of any subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance of such services by the City shall not operate as a release of the Consultant or any subcontractors from said professional standards.

7. Indemnification. To the furthest extent a llowed by law, including California Civil Code section 2782, Consultant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages (whether in contract, tort or strict liability, including but not limited to personal injury, death at any time and property damage), and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including reasonable attorney's fees, litigat ion expenses and cost to enforce this Agreement) that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant, its principals, officers, employees, agents or volunteers in the performance of this Agreement.

If Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Agreement, Consultant shall require each subcontractor to indemnify, hold harmless and defend City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.

This section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(b) If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, the Consultant or any of its subcontractors/sub-consultants fail to maintain any required insurance, all services and work under this Agreement shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due, or that become due, to the Consultant shall be withheld until insurance is in compliance with the requirements. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for the City to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by the City pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve the Consultant of its responsibilities under this Agreement.

commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent.
(c) The fact that insurance is obtained by the Consultant shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of the Consultant, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify the City shall apply to all cl aims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the Consultant.

Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of the Consultant, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of the Consultant, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

2WEST SHAW TOD CORRIDOR AND TOWN CENTER STUDY | TOOLE DESIGN

1. INTRODUCTION
WHY TOOLE DESIGN?
Toole Design is well suited to lead the West Shaw TOD
Corridor and Town Center Study because we are an
integrated urban design and transportation planning ﬁrm.

We understand how to create welcoming, accessible,
safe, and beautiful spaces for all users regardless of
their mode of travel. We accomplish this through a multi- disciplinary approach, bringing together our planners,
urban designers, and engineers to seamlessly connect
the multimodal transportation elements (such as ﬁrst-/
last-mile connections, trails, transit access) with urban design (streetscape and placemaking). We consider
future design phases and constructability starting at the planning stage. We also incorporate a community-driven
planning and design process that includes a range of
community members, city staff, stakeholders, business
owners, transit agencies, developers, and schools
because we know a plan needs to be both implementable
and reﬂective of local needs to be successful.

We are excited to continue to work with the City of Fresno and combine our local work with a deep portfolio of urban design and transit-oriented development projects in
California and across the U.S.

3. APPROACH

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Fresno is at a pivotal moment in shaping its urban future.

As one of California’s fastest-growing cities, Fresno faces the challenge of sustainably accommodating growth while enhancing quality of life for its residents. Building a more equitable, connected, and vibrant city requires rethinking how its major corridors and neighborhoods function—not
just as routes for cars, but as thriving, accessible, people- centered places.

The West Shaw Avenue Corridor presents a critical
opportunity to lead this transformation. West Shaw
is currently a wide, auto-centric corridor with limited development. Its citywide reach, proximity to major
institutions, job centers, and diverse neighborhoods,
along with large undeveloped parcels and planned
BRT/HFT expansion, position it to become a model for
transit-oriented development, multimodal mobility, and
neighborhood reinvestment.

The Highway City neighborhood has long faced barriers
to opportunity, quality infrastructure, and equitable
investment. Addressing these inequities is central to
the project’s vision. Situated on Fresno’s urban/rural
interface, West Shaw can serve not only Highway City
and West Shaw residents, but also rural communities to
the west, offering expanded access to jobs and services.

Future development along the corridor will provide
Toole Design’s Team has engaged with various Fresno communities on projects around the City, such as the work UDD did on Measure P . walkable services locally while also connecting residents to the broader city through high-quality transit.

This study will develop a community-driven vision,
equitable design concepts for station areas and a new
Town Center, and a robust multimodal network, including a Class I off-street trail system that ties new and existing development together. Furthermore, the success of
this study will serve as a model for transformation of
other corridors across Fresno, particularly within the
City’s rapidly developing West Area Neighborhoods,
complementing the goals outlined in the West Area
Neighborhoods Speciﬁc Plan.

Based on our review of the project area, the City’s goals, and community needs, we have identiﬁed the following
key issues to be addressed through this study:
ō Shaping West Shaw as a Model Corridor: The West
Shaw corridor can serve as a prototype “Catalytic
Corridor” for transit-oriented development and
public realm investment across Fresno’s West Area
and beyond. Establishing a clear, community-driven
framework here will set a precedent for future
corridor transformation city-wide.
ō Advancing Equitable Development in Highway City
and Beyond: Historically underserved communities
must be centered in this plan. The study must
address barriers to opportunity, infrastructure
quality, and access—ensuring that new investment
beneﬁts existing residents and businesses, prevents
displacement, and builds lasting community wealth.
ō Enhancing Multimodal Mobility and Access:

Improving the transit experience, strengthening
connections, and designing a safe, compelling,
multimodal West Shaw Avenue are essential to
reducing car dependence and expanding mobility
choices in this district. A key element will be planning an off-street Class I bike/pedestrian trail system
that integrates development, transit hubs, and
surrounding neighborhoods.
ō Supporting Feasible, Phased Development: New
development must be economically viable, transit-
supportive, and connected to market realities.

The study must identify opportunity sites, assess
development feasibility, and propose strategies to
catalyze high-quality investment while preserving

PROJECT APPROACH
TASK 1: PROJECT ADMINISTRATION
At Toole Design, we pride ourselves on our
responsiveness to clients. We employ a range of
management techniques to effectively track projects,
maintain progress, and ensure seamless client
communication with on time and high-quality submittals.

Matthew Arnold, AICP will serve as the Project Manager
and day-to-day contact for the City. He will be supported by Cindy Zerger, PLA, ASLA Principal-in-Charge and
Toole Design’s Urban Design Practice Leader, who will
coordinate all project QA/QC.

TASK 1.1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Matthew will coordinate all consultant team activities. He will manage both internal staff and overall project budget using our real-time accounting system, Vantagepoint.

Matthew will prepare monthly progress reports to
accompany each project invoice, prepared to City standards.

TASK 1.2: PROJECT MANAGEMENT

TEAM (PMT) MEETINGS
Project Management Team (PMT) meetings will be
held with core City staff on a bi-weekly basis over
the course of the project to review project status,
discuss upcoming deliverables, and plan for project
events. We will highlight decisions and action items
in meeting agendas and summaries to ensure
efficient and effective project advancement.

TASK 1.3: PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING
Upon NTP, Toole Design will hold a virtual project kickoff meeting with the City’s PMT. The kickoff meeting will
provide a critical opportunity to conﬁrm scope and
schedule, align expectations, and identify potential
project challenges and mitigation strategies. Toole
Design’s Project Manager Matthew Arnold will distribute a Project Management Plan (PMP) at the project kickoff
meeting. The PMP will include a detailed project schedule identifying key project milestones, critical dependencies, deliverables, and tentative meeting dates; a list of lead staff responsible for each task; project communication
protocols; and a QA/QC Plan that includes details for
internal team and City review and approval processes.

TASK 1.4: TECHNICAL ADVISORY

COMMITTEE ROSTER
It is important for the consultant design team to be
integrated with City and agency staff, as they are the
individuals who will implement the improvements, policies, and standards that result from this study. To facilitate this interaction, and as a recommended best practice, the City should assemble a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to provide agency-level review of key project deliverables.

The TAC could include representatives from the City’s
Planning & Development and Public Works Departments,
Fresno Area Express (FAX), Fresno County Rural Transit
Agency (FCRTA), and Caltrans.

TASK 1.5: MILESTONE CHECK-INS
At key milestones, Matthew Arnold will lead the PMT in
reviewing deliverables, budget, progress to date, and
upcoming tasks. These milestone check-ins will assess
product quality and engagement effectiveness against
project goals. Based on these evaluations, the PMT will adjust tasks, deliverables, and outreach as needed.
(NOTE: This proposal assumes up to three milestone
check-ins over the course of the project.)
affordability and character. In so doing, the study
must seek the proper balance between market-rate
and affordable housing.
ō Activating the Public Realm: Today’s auto-oriented
West Shaw corridor must evolve into a vibrant,
people-centered place. Streetscapes, public spaces,
and trail connections must be integrated into
development concepts in order to create a welcoming,
shaded, and inclusive public realm that supports
walking, gathering, and community life.
ō Honoring the Corridor’s Urban/Rural Role: West
Shaw sits at Fresno’s urban/rural interface. Future
development must serve surrounding neighborhoods,
support farmland preservation efforts, and strengthen
West Shaw’s role as a regional gateway—connecting
rural residents to services, jobs, and amenities via
high-quality BRT/HFT and trail systems.
ō Building Community Ownership and Momentum:

Authentic, inclusive community engagement will
be critical at every step—including for non-English
speakers. Residents, stakeholders, economic
development corporations (EDCs) and community-based
organizations (CBOs) must help shape the project vision, design priorities, and implementation strategies to
ensure broad-based support and long-term success.

The West Shaw TOD Corridor and Town Center Study is
a generational opportunity to deliver lasting beneﬁts for Fresno’s West Area communities—rooted in equity, driven by vision, and designed with the community for a thriving, connected future.

TASK 2: EXISTING

CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT
The Toole Design Team will assess the physical and policy conditions affecting the West Shaw corridor and its potential for transformative change. This work will include a review of relevant documents, a desktop study of physical conditions, and a site visit with City staff and community members.

TASK 2.1: REVIEW PLANNING

DOCUMENTS AND POLICIES
The Toole Design Team will review existing plans and
policies relevant to this effort, as directed by City staff, identifying both supportive elements and potential conﬂicts with the project’s goals. The review will include, but is not limited to, the West Area Neighborhoods Speciﬁc Plan
(WANSP), Fresno General Plan, Housing Element (Sixth
Cycle), and relevant documents from FCRTA and FAX.

TASK 2.2 LAND USE AND

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
Van Meter Williams Pollack (VMWP) will lead a focused review of the City’s zoning, development code, and regulations, mapping existing land use, intensity, development standards (e.g., parking), key activity centers, and connections beyond the corridor. They will assess existing development patterns— examining site planning, use mix, intensity, and character—to highlight areas of strength and those in need of reinvestment.

VMWP will also identify and map underutilized ‘soft sites’ with redevelopment potential for discussion during the
Initial Community Outreach and Engagement phase. To
support community dialogue, we will prepare simple
massing models that illustrate existing conditions and
visually frame future opportunities.

TASK 2.3: MULTIMODAL

TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS
Toole Design will analyze the West Shaw corridor for its potential to be redesigned for transit-rich, multimodal access. Toole Design will examine the broader district for potential Class I trail alignments. In doing so, Toole Design will consider the West Shaw right-of-way, existing and
potential access points, and multimodal connectivity within the overall study area as well as barriers to be addressed.

TASK 2.4: MARKET CONDITIONS AND

DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
EPS will assess market conditions in Fresno and the
broader region to understand factors affecting the success of residential and commercial projects within the West
Shaw Area. The analysis will evaluate likely support for various land uses based on market supply and demand
dynamics, demographic and economic trends, and the
area’s unique attributes. Findings will inform development options and realistic growth trajectories for station areas and the Town Center. This analysis will include:
ō Socio-Economic Conditions: Assessing household
income, demographics, commute patterns, job mix,
and regional growth trends to identify corridor
strengths, challenges, and future opportunities.
ō Real Estate Market Conditions and Trends: Evaluating
residential, retail, and employment uses based on
performance indicators such as pricing, building
inventory, occupancy, and property characteristics.

EPS will consider ownership patterns to better
understand the pace and nature of corridor transition.
ō Case Studies: Documenting local and regional
comparable projects to analyze market positioning,
formats, amenities, and development feasibility. EPS will review unbuilt but approved projects to identify barriers and inform typologies and strategies for West Shaw’s
station areas and Town Center.

TASK 2.5: SITE VISIT AND

TOUR OF RELEVANT PROJECTS
The Toole Design will visit the West Shaw corridor with City staff to assess physical conditions, opportunities, and constraints. The visit will build understanding of the area’s context in relation to Highway City, West Fresno, the broader city, and rural Fresno County. Stops will include relevant Fresno developments that reﬂect the type and
quality of market-tested, station-area projects the City envisions for West Shaw.

TASK 2.6: EXISTING CONDITIONS REPORT
Toole Design will prepare an Existing Conditions Report summarizing land use, policy, market, infrastructure
gaps, and multimodal transportation ﬁndings. The report will serve the project team, City staff, the Technical
Advisory Committee, and the broader community
throughout the study. It will include an Opportunities and Constraints (O&C) Analysis highlighting prospects for
transit-oriented development, town center creation, trail connections, and multimodal streetscape improvements,

10WEST SHAW TOD CORRIDOR AND TOWN CENTER STUDY | TOOLE DESIGN along with key challenges. We will ﬁnalize the O&C
Analysis following community feedback during the Initial Outreach phase (Task 4).

TASK 2.7: TECHNICAL ADVISORY
COMMITTEE (TAC) MEETING #1
In advance of the initial community engagement phase,
the City will convene a meeting of the project’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to review the Draft Existing
Conditions Report and gather feedback for the design team.

TASK 2 DELIVERABLES:
ō Draft and Final Existing Conditions Report, including:
ō Land Use and Development Potential Analysis
ō Multimodal Transportation Analysis
ō Market Study
TASK 3: COMMUNITY OUTREACH

AND ENGAGEMENT PLAN
At Toole Design, we view community engagement with the
same importance as our technical work. We believe the
most successful projects are built through open, transparent processes that engage those often left out of traditional planning efforts—women, teens, low-income communities,
seniors, and culturally and linguistically diverse residents.

Our team excels at tailoring outreach to multicultural
audiences and providing multiple avenues for participation.

TASK 3.1: COMMUNITY AND

DEVELOPER STAKEHOLDER LIST
Toole and Urban Diversity Design (UDD) will work with
the City’s Community Coordinator to create a list of study area stakeholders (residents, businesses, and property
owners) who will be directly affected by the plan’s
outcomes. This effort will include gathering information on community-based organizations (CBOs) which could be
active partners in the outreach and engagement efforts. (We also will review and include the WANSP stakeholder
list in order to leverage the efforts of that project.) TASK 3.2: COMMUNITY OUTREACH

AND ENGAGEMENT PLAN
Toole Design and UDD will work with the City’s Community Coordinator to develop a public outreach strategy that
offers multiple opportunities for participation, with a focus on engaging historically underrepresented groups.

While our team brings decades of experience in effective community engagement, we recognize City staff as key
partners in building on successful past efforts and avoiding prior missteps. Shortly after project kickoff, Toole Design will prepare a brief Community Outreach and Engagement
Plan (COEP) outlining our approach to outreach, publicity, stakeholder involvement, charrette planning, and community forums. The COEP will guide meaningful engagement across all audiences and provide a framework to evaluate the
effectiveness of outreach activities at key project milestones.

TASK 3 DELIVERABLES:
ō Community Stakeholder List
ō Community Outreach and Engagement Plan (COEP)
TASK 4: INITIAL COMMUNITY

OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
In the initial round of community outreach, we will partner with local economic development corporations (EDCs) and CBOs—including Highway City Community Development
(HCCD)—to lead a conversation about how the corridor
should evolve, highlighting potential success models and challenges to overcome. Through interviews, meetings,
and workshops, we will review Existing Conditions and
the Opportunities and Constraints Analysis, gather local insights, and identify community-recognized success
stories. We will collaborate with community members to
draft a Project Vision and a set of Goals and Objectives to guide the plan. (With City approval, this phase may be concentrated into a “Discovery Charrette.”) Engagement
activities, pending the COEP, are expected to include:

TASK 4.1: FOCUS GROUPS AND/OR

STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS
UDD will work with the City’s Community Coordinator to
organize a series of Focus Groups and/or Stakeholder
Interviews with key residents, business owners, property Toole Design staff member Kristen Lohse working with the City of Fresno on their Trails Network Expansion.

11WEST SHAW TOD CORRIDOR AND TOWN CENTER STUDY | TOOLE DESIGN owners, and/or CBOs to gain their insights into the
area and thoughts about the project. (Upon review and
approval by City staff, instead of multiple meetings with different stakeholders, our team can plan and facilitate a single, combined, in-person workshop with CBOs and
resident leaders.) A focus group or set of interviews with property owners and developers in particular will help
us test the project’s goals, address challenges along the corridor, and discuss what the BRT system means for
these key stakeholders.

TASK 4.2: OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
In alignment with the COEP, UDD will work with the City to interview and contract one to two key local CBOs (outreach partners) to help with public facing activities such as pop-ups, event tabling, visits to standing meetings, etc.

It’ll be important to maintain collaboration with broader project stakeholders as well to plan the outreach activities that engage a range of community members who will be
affected by the plan and its outcomes.

TASK 4.3: TAC MEETING #2 (WORKSHOP)
Toole Design will facilitate a TAC workshop to help deﬁne the corridor vision(s) and articulate goals and concepts under discussion by City staff, the Planning Commission, City Council, and other agencies. This session will help establish the project framework and outline development and infrastructure options for consideration. (Elected
officials, Planning Commissioners, and other decision-
makers may also participate.)
TASK 4.4: COMMUNITY WORKSHOP
In collaboration with the City and local CBOs, the Toole Design Team will facilitate a workshop for community
members to provide their perspectives on the corridor,
including their concerns and their aspirations for it.

We will review the Existing Conditions work with them
and garner their feedback on project Opportunities and
Constraints. Their input, questions, and suggestions will help us craft a project Vision and Goals and Objectives to guide the project moving forward.

TASK 4.5: COMMUNITY
RECOMMENDATIONS MEMORANDUM #1
At the conclusion of Task 4, UDD will summarize the
stakeholder and community input received into a Community Recommendations Memo. This feedback will allow us to
ﬁnalize the Opportunities and Constraints Analysis and draft the Project Vision and Goals and Objectives.

DESIGN CHARRETTE
Our designers, planners, and engineers bring deep
experience in facilitation, consensus-building, and
authentic community dialogue. Toole Design frequently
addresses complex issues through Community Design
Toole Design at a design charrette for a corridor in Boulder, CO.

12WEST SHAW TOD CORRIDOR AND TOWN CENTER STUDY | TOOLE DESIGN Charrettes. Matthew Arnold and Cindy Zerger have led
successful charrettes nationwide and are committed to
crafting a transparent, community-driven process that
directly shapes design outcomes. The structure of this
immersive workshop (duration, meeting types, etc.) will be tailored in close collaboration with the City of Fresno.

At this stage, we propose the following:

TASK 6.1: CHARRETTE SCHEDULE
The Toole Design Team will work with the City to prepare/ ﬁnalize a schedule for the Community Design Charrette and will advise the City on necessary logistics for the event.

TASK 6.2: COMMUNITY DESIGN CHARRETTE
This four-day working session will advance starter ideas for the streetscape, trail system, and town center into reﬁned concepts for the ﬁnal report. Conducting the charrette in an open, community setting will allow the design team to test concepts in real time with stakeholders and City staff. UDD will collaborate with the City and CBO partners to develop messaging that encourages community participation.

DAY 1: STARTER IDEAS
The Toole Design Team (including staff from VMWP)
will arrive as early as practical on Day 1 and set up the workspace at the venue. Our team will meet with the
City to conﬁrm the week’s events and ﬁnalize roles and
responsibilities for the week. For the remainder of the day, the team will work at the charrette venue, generating initial, starter ideas for the streetscape, trail system, and station areas/town center:
ō The Toole Design Team will generate various
conﬁgurations for a reimagined West Shaw
Avenue, testing available or expanded
right-of-way against various modes and in
relation to the station area concepts.
ō VMWP will collaborate with Toole Design to evaluate
alternative locations for mixed-use station area
hubs and a potential town center along the corridor.

The evaluation will consider site size, site control,
connectivity beyond the corridor, and impediments
to change. Two to three candidate locations will
be conceptually developed at varying intensities
during the charrette to illustrate a town center, a
neighborhood hub, and a smaller activity center at
different points along the corridor.
ō Toole Design will generate initial concepts for the
Class I bike/pedestrian trail system, integrating it
with the development and streetscape concepts.

Our team will review these starter ideas with stakeholders and community members at an evening open house.

On Day 2, the Toole Design Team will reﬁne starter ideas into more detailed concepts. We will evaluate individual sites of approximately 10 acres, as well as combined sites totaling 10 acres, to illustrate key principles of large-site development, including new streets (public or private), active frontages, centralized density, and transitions to lower- density neighborhoods. VMWP will model multiple densities and layouts for a selected site to demonstrate ﬂexible
outcomes under different design standards. Concepts
will be reviewed at an evening public open house (with
daytime office hours available as well) for stakeholders and community members to view progress and provide input.

DAY 3: DESIGN REFINEMENT CONTINUED…
Based on feedback from the prior evening, the
Toole Design/VMWP team will continue to reﬁne the
streetscape, trail, and town center concepts—again
offering office hours for community members to check
our work and bring their ideas. Our team will begin
drafting recommendations for design standards to
accompany our Town Center work. And we will hold
TAC Meeting #3, allowing us to vet our concepts and
recommendations with our City and agency partners.

DAY 4: PRODUCTION DAY AND PUBLIC REVEAL
During this “Production Day,” Toole/VMWP will ﬁnalize all charrette graphics into a formal presentation. We will host a ﬁnal public meeting that evening to present a fulsome summary of the design work from opportunities and
constraints to honed design concepts and recommendations— emphasizing throughout the ways in which direct community feedback has shaped our work. There will be time for
questions, answers, and discussion (and this public meeting can be livestreamed and/or recorded if necessary).

We have put forth the above design charrette format that we believe will be best for the West Shaw Corridor. It comprises a signiﬁcant portion of the engagement and design work for this project, which is reﬂected in the budget. We know you know the community best and we want to make sure to tailor this to suit the needs of Fresno and the West Shaw Area community. We are happy to work with you and make any
desired modiﬁcations to this process.

As an optional task, and depending on the City’s existing data and/or expectations for the 30% Streetscape Design for West Shaw Avenue (see Task 7 above), our team can
prepare a Boundary and Topographic Survey of the West
Shaw Avenue study area. (Note: This survey has not been included in our base fee.)

REDEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS AND

FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY
As an optional task, EPS will identify factors affecting development feasibility along the West Shaw Corridor,
with a focus on residential and mixed-use prototypes. EPS will use stakeholder interviews and market data (CoStar, Zillow) to deﬁne common building typologies aligned
with submarket conditions, site characteristics, and the corridor vision. EPS will coordinate with City staff and stakeholders to select prototypes for ﬁnancial analysis.

EPS will develop site-level pro forma models to assess
residual land value for each prototype. Assumptions
will be based on developer interviews, market data, and construction cost sources. An interactive model will test density, land-use mix, parking, setbacks, fees, and other variables. EPS will summarize development criteria
needed to achieve feasibility for each prototype.

This feasibility study analyzed the Fancher Creek corridor for a shared use path to link rural agricultural lands with new mixed-use development and an extension of Fresno’s BRT line. The project’s objectives were to 1) conduct a feasibility study of a six-mile-long creek/canal corridor for development as an urban trail, 2) develop concept plans and estimates that addressed state, county, city, and irrigation district requirements, and 3) position the city for future grant funding for ﬁnal design.

Project: West Shaw TOD Corridor and Town Center Study (Fresno, CA) Re: Proposed Scope and Budget Adjustments
Based on our conversation with City staff on 5/12/25, we are proposing modest adjustments to our scope and budget to complete the West Shaw TOD Corridor and Town Center Study for the City of Fresno, as follows:

PROPOSED SCOPE ADJUSTMENTS
x Development Feasibility Analysis. In our initial proposal, we included Development Feasibility Analysis as an optional task over and above our base scope and fee. From our conversation with the City of 5/12, we understand that this work should be incorporated into the base scope. To complete both this work and the related Market Analysis, we are proposing to substitute ECOnorthwest as our market / real estate economist. We propose that, in Task 7.3, ECOnorthwest leverage the Task 2.4 Market Analysis and combined market intelligence gained through previous research, developer interviews, understanding of site characteristics, construction costs, cost of capital, and initial prototypes to create a site-level development feasibility pro forma. ECOnorthwest’s pro forma model would test up to three (3) concepts to determine a use mix that optimizes residual land value in the context of community and stakeholder input. x Additional Scope Adjustments. In order to accommodate the above Development Feasibility work, we propose the following adjustments to deliverables and meeting attendance:
o The Task 2 Existing Conditions Report will be delivered as a “Summary Deck,” allowing us to provide stakeholders, the City, and the community with key and relevant findings in a more efficient manner. Similarly, the three Community Recommendations Memoranda may be delivered as “Summary Decks” as well.
o The Task 8 Focus Groups / Stakeholder meetings will be removed in favor of a single, CBO- supported Community Forum.
o Consultant team attendance will be scaled back for several meetings. o The City will take the lead on project branding and manage any printing required for meetings and events.

TASK 1 PROJECT ADMINISTRATION $38,697
