CAS004004 and shall provide documentation to that effect.

13. PREVAILING WAGE.

Page 4 of 13 ends

being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, CONTRACTOR agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws.

Upon request, CITY shall provide CONTRACTOR with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement.

CONTRACTOR shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the services available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at the CONTRACTOR’S principal place of business and at the project site. It is the intent of the parties to effectuate the requirements of sections 1771, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815 of the Labor Code within this Agreement, and CONTRACTOR shall therefore comply with such Labor Code sections to the fullest extent required by law.

CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers free and harmless from any claim or liability to the extent arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

B. Registration/DIR Compliance. If the services are being performed on a public works project of over $25,000 when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work, or a public works project of over $15,000 when the project is for maintenance work, in addition to the foregoing, then pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, CONTRACTOR and all subcontractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”). CONTRACTOR shall maintain registration for the duration of the project and require the same of any subcontractors. This project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be CONTRACTOR’S sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements, including the submission of payroll records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractors that affect CONTRACTOR’S performance of services, including any delay, shall be CONTRACTOR’S sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered CONTRACTOR caused delay and shall not be compensable by CITY.

CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability to the extent arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor.

C. Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, CONTRACTOR certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the Services.

D. Employment of Apprentices. CONTRACTOR and all subcontractors shall comply with the requirements of Labor Code sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices. Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be obtained from the Director of Industrial Tuesday, October 07, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *892

Page 5 of 13 ends

Relations, ex officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship, San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.

E. CONTRACTOR or subcontractors may not perform work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.1 or 1777.7. Any contract on a public works project entered into between the CONTRACTOR and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid or may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by CONTRACTOR on the project shall be returned to CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Project.

F. CONTRACTOR agrees to bind every subcontractor to the terms of the Agreement as far as such terms are applicable to subcontractor’s portion of the work.

CONTRACTOR shall be as fully responsible to CITY for the acts and omissions of its subcontractor and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by its subcontractor, as CONTRACTOR is for acts and omissions of persons directly employed by CONTRACTOR. Nothing contained in these Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor and CITY.

14. TERMINATION.

A. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. Notice of termination shall be in writing.

B. CONTRACTOR may terminate this Agreement. Notice will be in writing at least 30 days before the effective termination date.

C. In the event of such termination, CONTRACTOR shall cease services as of the date of termination, all finished or unfinished documents, data, drawings, maps, and other materials prepared by CONTRACTOR shall, at CITY’s option, become CITY’s property, and CONTRACTOR will receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed up to the effective date of notice of termination.

D. Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure on its own terms services similar to those terminated.

15. INDEMNIFICATION.

Page 6 of 13 ends

such loss or damage which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONTRACTOR’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement involves the performance of design professional services by Contractor, Contractor’s officers, employees, agents, or subcontractors, Contractor’s costs to defend Indemnities shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault per Civil Code §2782.8.

B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONTRACTOR as required by Section 20, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

16. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONTRACTOR’s professional services.

CONTRACTOR’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

17. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that THE CONTRACTOR will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which it is performed. THE CONTRACTOR will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employees while under contract with CITY. CONTRACTOR is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONTRACTOR as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONTRACTOR will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.

18. AUDIT OF RECORDS.

A. THE CONTRACTOR agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.

CONTRACTOR agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement.

CONTRACTOR further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three Tuesday, October 07, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *894

Page 7 of 13 ends

(3) years following final payment under this Agreement.

B. CONTRACTOR will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.

19. CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONTRACTOR will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement. CONTRACTOR will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by CITY to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONTRACTOR to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

20. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. CONTRACTOR, at CONTRACTOR’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONTRACTOR shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONTRACTOR for CITY.

2. General Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

Page 8 of 13 ends

million dollars ($2,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONTRACTOR will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.

Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONTRACTOR for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.

C. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement.

CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely Tuesday, October 07, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *896

Page 9 of 13 ends

to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.

Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain the required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONTRACTOR as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONTRACTOR’S behalf upon CONTRACTOR’S failure or refusal to do so to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against Contractor for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

21. USE OF OTHER CONTRACTORS. THE CONTRACTOR must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any Contractors while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed Contractor and the terms of compensation.

22. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONTRACTOR for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONTRACTOR’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work Tuesday, October 07, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *897

Page 10 of 13 ends

performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents.

23. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONTRACTOR shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during the CITY’S review of CONTRACTOR’S report or plans. Should the CONTRACTOR fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONTRACTOR. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONTRACTOR under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

24. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONTRACTOR by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONTRACTOR’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONTRACTOR’S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

25. NOTICES. All communications to either party by the other party will be deemed made when received by such party at its respective name and address as follows:

A. Community Profile
The City of Lomita is a small, urban, densely populated community of 1.97 square miles that is substantially fully developed with mostly residential neighborhoods and commercial properties located on major streets. The City is located at the base of the Palos Verdes Peninsula of the Los Angeles Basin in the southwestern part of Los Angeles County, 26 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and bounded by the City of Torrance on the north and west, the Harbor Region of Los Angeles on the east, the City of Rolling Hill Estates on the southwest, and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and unincorporated Los Angeles County on the southeast. Lomita is considered to be part of the South Bay region of Los Angeles County.

B. Overview
The City of Lomita is requesting proposals from prequalified consulting firms to assist with the development of design plans and specifications for its Local Travel Network (LTN). Consulting firms were prequalified through an evaluation process conducted by the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) for LTN Project Management and Technical Services. The qualification evaluation process resulted in a bench of consultants qualified for various disciplines and approved by the SBCCOG board on July 24, 2025. The six consulting firms that were prequalified for all disciplines that pertain to this project have been invited to propose on this project.

The project will consist of a citywide signage and striping upgrade (primarily sharrows and wayfinding signage) within the public right-of-way along the designated routes of its 5.35-mile LTN and a more targeted development of traffic calming measures on Eshelman Avenue. The City has previously identified and preliminarily mapped routes intended to serve as its LTN—prioritizing safer, low-speed corridors for alternative mobility options such as bicycles, neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), and other micromobility devices.

This project is part of the broader South Bay Local Travel Network, a regional initiative coordinated by multiple cities within the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. The goal is to develop a connected, low-speed mobility network that spans municipal boundaries and enhances multi-modal travel options across the region. The LTN is a network of slower speed streets that support the use of zero emission and slow speed travel modes such as walking, biking, electric scooters and micro-mobility devices like neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs). Lomita’s LTN will ultimately integrate with the Tuesday, October 07, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *905
RFP to Provide Professional Civil Engineering Services
RFP, Page 5
LTNs in its neighboring cities to form a cohesive, inter-jurisdictional, low speed, travel system serving residents, workers, and visitors in the South Bay.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
There are two major components of this project. The first component involves the facilitation and implementation of Lomita’s LTN. The second component involves the design and development of measures on Eshelman Avenue to calm traffic and make it suitable for use in the LTN.

The proposed LTN will integrate with and expand the City’s existing Class II and III Bicycle Lanes and Routes. The LTN does not propose any dedicated bicycle lanes or removal of existing car-oriented infrastructure. The LTN serves as a directional and wayfinding overlay signage program to help safely guide LTN users around neighborhoods, to/from destinations, and across higher speed streets.

The LTN will be comprised of a Class III shared lane (sharrow) network on low-speed neighborhood streets that connects to key destinations within the City. The network will utilize branded wayfinding signage, shared lane markings, intersection treatments, and signal detection improvements. The design will take into account and seek to accommodate modern micro-mobility devices that are currently in use in Lomita including e-bicycles, e-scooters, and NEVs. The ultimate goal is to improve safety and viability of slow speed transportation modes by providing an interconnected network of streets that are conducive to these forms of transportation and that connects the people of the community to locations where they seek to go.

The project design will seek to avoid overuse of signs and the perception of sign clutter as well as take into account accessibility for pedestrians, especially those with disabilities. Wayfinding signage which shows major destinations around Lomita and surrounding areas should be provided at regular intervals at prominent intersections and decision points. The use of graphics rather than words should be prioritized when possible. Other LTN signs will include the limited use of SBCCOG LTN “Rolling Turtle” branding signs and City logo signs.

The City of Lomita has previously adopted proposed routes for the LTN. However, through outreach efforts of the SBCCOG, the City will seek input from the public regarding the proposed network prior to implementation. As such, some changes to the LTN may occur due to public input. The current proposed LTN is shown in Attachment A of this RFP.

The second major component is the development and design of measures on Eshelman Avenue which will facilitate its use as a street in the LTN. The City has developed preliminary concepts for this street but these concepts need to be further vetted with the community through public outreach conducted by the consultant with City support. As these concepts are further refined as the result of public and staff input, the consultant will then develop the final design for this project component. The preliminary concepts for Eshelman Avenue are shown in Attachment B of this RFP.

TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLKIT
2 INTRODUCTION
What is a Traffic Calming Toolkit?
Traffic calming refers to the use of traffic control strategies to reduce the negative impacts of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior to reduce undesirable driving practices, and improve conditions for non-motorized street users. The City of Lomita’s Traffic Calming Toolkit provides a succinct yet comprehensive toolkit of solutions that the City can use to respond to requests concerning speeds, cut-through traffic, and other perceived localized traffic issues. The toolkit is intended to provide realistic and flexible solutions that are context-appropriate and improve quality of life for everyone using the City’s streets.

Project Goals
The Traffic Calming Toolkit’s key goals include using this toolkit of traffic calming measures, where appropriate, to:
) Goal #1: Reduce vehicle speeds
) Goal #2: Reduce excess traffic volumes and cut-through traffic on local residential streets ) Goal #3: Improve neighborhood quality of life
Approach
Traffic Calming typically uses a “3 E’s” approach – Education, Enforcement, and Engineering – when considering possible solutions for improved traffic safety.

Background Studies and Plans
Guidance on the Traffic Calming Toolkit process and solutions was provided through a variety of existing standards, programs, and policies. Literature and regulatory framework reviews of guidance documents and City plans were conducted to understand industry standards and policy behind the traffic calming measures described in this report.

Best practices from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) were included in this toolkit.

Literature Review
Guidance documents and traffic calming methods were reviewed to document current best practices for traffic calming. While developing the Toolkit, the implementation criteria and the effectiveness of each traffic calming measure were based on the following documents:
) California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) ) Traffic Calming Guidance Interim Memo (Caltrans)
) Urban Street Design Guide (NACTO)
) Traffic Calming ePrimer (FHWA)
) Proven Safety Countermeasures (FHWA)
Educational programming alerts people to ways they can help ease traffic problems – for example, by reducing their speed, choosing to walk or bike instead of drive, and maintaining awareness of their surroundings.

EDUCATION
Enforcement tools enlist the help of local law enforcement to focus efforts on specific streets to increase community awareness of speeding problems. ENFORCEMENT Engineering tools include a variety of traffic calming devices that redesign the street to control traffic volumes, decrease traffic speeds, create safer walking and bicycling conditions, and maintain or improve an attractive streetscape.

TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLKIT
3 Regulatory Framework Review
City plans and programs relevant to the traffic calming toolkit were also reviewed for consistency and to determine potential impacts to the implementation of the traffic calming solutions proposed in this toolkit. The following City documents and policies were reviewed:
) City of Lomita’s General Plan
) City of Lomita’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
) City of Lomita’s Downtown Lomita Design Manual
) City of Lomita’s Municipal Code
) California Vehicle Code
Public Engagement
The traffic calming toolkit is public-oriented by nature and seeks to involve the public at multiple stages throughout the traffic calming process. The public was solicited to participate in two community workshops in conjunction with the City’s Public Safety and Traffic Commission in order to understand the public’s traffic concerns and gather feedback on the toolkit.

Community Workshop #1
The first community workshop took place in the City of Lomita on Wednesday, July 19th, 2023. The City hosted the workshop to present the project to members of the public and solicit feedback on the traffic concerns throughout the City. The workshop was attended by over 15 members of the public as well as several public officials.

At the start of the workshop, City of Lomita staff and project team members gave a presentation to the group that discussed the goals of the project and the potential traffic calming solutions. Following the presentation, the workshop participants were invited to participate in two map activities. The first activity reinforced the education around traffic calming measures and allowed residents to choose which of the traffic calming solutions they would like to see implemented on a generic map that reflected the City’s streets. The workshop participants were also able to ask questions of the project team and provide their input on the project process.

The second activity allowed the residents to identify their concerns at specific locations throughout the City using colored labels. Concerns related to speeding, cut-through traffic, pedestrian safety, and sight distance/visibility were used to develop the six (6) case study locations and their respective traffic calming solutions. Existing conditions and concerns at the case study locations are described in the case studies section of this report, along with the proposed site-specific traffic calming solutions that follow a tiered approach.

TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLKIT
4 Community Workshop #2
The second community workshop took place in the City of Lomita on September, 20, 2023. The project team presented the draft traffic calming report and case study locations with the proposed improvements.

Understanding the Manual
The Traffic Calming Toolkit was developed as a guide for City of Lomita staff. This report presents a toolkit of traffic calming measures and a summary of improvements at specific locations within the City. It is intended for staff to use the toolkit and measures outlined in this report for identifying and implementing traffic calming solutions in response to public requests. The measures listed in the toolkit intend to address potential traffic problems based on site conditions, tool effectiveness, and other criteria. The report is organized as follows. ) Traffic Calming Process - This section outlines the process through which residents can submit requests for traffic calming solutions and how City staff will evaluate the location(s) in question and select eligible traffic calming tools, and prioritize traffic calming projects. ) Toolkit - This section provides an overview of the specific tools and suites of tools that the City can use to address traffic calming issues.
) Tool Selection - This section provides details on how traffic calming tools are screened for eligibility, evaluated for their effectiveness, potential impacts, and costs.
) Case Study Locations - This section provides details on the case study locations within the City and the proposed site-specific traffic calming solutions, following an incremental tiered approach.

TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLKIT
5 TRAFFIC CALMING PROCESS
Project Initiation
The traffic calming process may be utilized if the City’s Technical Traffic Advisory Committee (TTAC) finds the toolkit solutions appropriate. The process includes an online request that provides the following information in a standardized online Traffic Investigation Request form: a description of the traffic issues at hand, the impacted location, and the name and contact information for the person or organization submitting the request.

Traffic Investigation Request forms can be submitted by any private citizen or community, neighborhood, or homeowners’ organization or association. Request forms may be completed and submitted online via the City’s website. In addition to requests made by the public, the traffic calming process may be initiated separately through the identification by City staff of a candidate location or locations.

Once a request form is received and it is determined that enough information is provided, the City’s TTAC will review the candidate location and inform the requester of the evaluation of the matter and action taken. If the matter will be presented at Public Safety and Traffic Commission or City Council, the requester shall be notified.

It should be noted that enforcement and education tools should be exhausted prior to identifying engineering solutions.

Targeted enforcement or traffic laws seeks to increase public awareness of local speed limits and traffic regulations through increased patrols and ticketing of drivers in violation. The level of enforcement that is conducted is dependent on the number of officers that are available and the level of funding available for efforts beyond what is budgeted and considered standard.

Neighborhood traffic education programming seeks to increase public awareness of local speed limits and traffic regulations while also allowing for the public to work with the City to identify and discuss safety issues and residents’ concerns. Education programs may include posting signage or banners in local neighborhoods, distributing flyers or personalized letters to area residents and businesses, hosting public meetings and workshops, and coordinating with local law enforcement, schools, and other organizations.

Project Identification
After determining that traffic calming solutions are appropriate for the impacted location, City staff, in coordination with their Los Angeles County Public Advisor, will conduct a preliminary site assessment to develop an understanding of the site’s local context and review traffic and safety data that may already be available for the location.

After conducting a preliminary site assessment and potentially meeting with stakeholders, City staff will determine what degree of traffic calming solutions will be pursued. The Traffic Calming Toolkit groups traffic calming tools into Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Tier 4 solutions. Additional detail regarding the tools within each tier are available in the Traffic Calming Toolkit section.
) Tier 1 solutions consist of tools that are typically low-cost and do not require additional design, making them quicker and easier to implement. Although some tools do require justification such as meeting the recommended criteria and the City Council approval, Tier 1 tools consist of improvements such as simple striping, signage, and pavement marking improvements.

7 TOOL SELECTION
This section provides details on how traffic calming tools are screened for eligibility, evaluated for their effectiveness, potential impacts, and costs.

Tool Eligibility & Application
To determine which traffic calming measures are eligible or appropriate for a particular location, the following aspects should be reviewed.

Roadway Functional Class
Certain traffic calming measures are only applicable on certain roadway functional classifications. Roadway classes can generally be categorized as:
) Major Highways (4 lanes, carries traffic between and across the City) ⤷ Pacific Coast Highway, Lomita Boulevard, Crenshaw Boulevard, Western Avenue, and Palos Verdes Drive North
) Secondary Highways (2 lanes, carries traffic across the City, as well as shorter distance local intra-city traffic movement)
⤷ Narbonne Avenue
) Collector (2 lanes, carries traffic from local streets to arterials) ⤷ 250th Street, 255th Street, 262nd Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, Eshelman Avenue, Walnut Avenue, Ebony Street, and Narbonne Avenue north of Lomita Boulevard
) Local streets (2 lanes, carries local neighborhood traffic) Location
Certain traffic calming measures are only applicable at either intersections or along roadway segments.

Posted Speed Limit
Certain traffic calming measures are only appropriate along streets with certain speed limits.

Volume
Certain traffic calming measures are only appropriate on streets with lower volumes.

Cut-Through Traffic
The presence of non-local, cut through traffic can be addressed by certain traffic calming measures.

Other Site Considerations
Depending on how the roadway is used, certain traffic calming measures may not be appropriate. Aspects taken into consideration are whether the roadway contains dedicated bicycle facilities, is a primary transit route, is used extensively by emergency vehicles, whether trucks must utilize the roadway to access commercial and industrial facilities, or whether the street has a significant grade.

9 DESCRIPTION
Roadway striping can be used as a traffic calming measure to narrow travel lane widths and create roadways that more effectively delineate space for various uses. Striping can be used to delineate centerlines, edge lines, parking lanes, and bicycle lanes where previous striping is not present or where the street can be restriped to create a new roadway configuration. The added constraints can reduce speeds by influencing drivers to exercise caution and stay within the designated travel lane(s).

Advantages:
• Can be used to improve access and comfort for
vulnerable road users
• Does not slow emergency vehicles
• Low cost; quick and easy to implement
• Can increase caution and reduce speeds

15 DESCRIPTION
Crossing improvements include a suite of tools to improve pedestrian safety and comfort. Curb extensions, often called bulbouts when used at intersections, create additional sidewalk space for pedestrians while influencing drivers to reduce their speeds via reductions in lane width and increased curb radii. Pedestrian refuge islands provide a safe space within a roadway median for pedestrians to focus on one direction of oncoming traffic at a time and wait for a safe gap to cross the street. Roadway reconfiguration reconfigures the roadway by reducing the number of travel lanes along roadways with more than one lane in each direction and repurposing the space through the addition of curbside parking, medians with left-turn pockets or center two-way left-turn lanes, and/or dedicated bicycle facilities. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) flash LED lights to enhance pedestrian conspicuity and increase driver awareness at uncontrolled marked crosswalks.

Advantages:

For Bulbouts, Pedestrian Reguge Island, & RRFBs: For Roadway Reconfiguration:
• Increases driver awareness of the pedestrian crossing • Reduces pedestrian crossings at unmarked locations
• Reduce vehicle speed and vehicle-pedestrian collisions • Opportunity to increase aesthetic appeal
• Demonstrated effectiveness in reducing vehicle speed
and collisions/collision severity
• May facilitate modal shift if used to install dedicated bicycle facilities
• Typically moderate cost to implement
Disadvantages:

For Bulbouts, Pedestrian Reguge Island, & RRFBs: For Roadway Reconfiguration:
• Can be costly to implement
• Bulbouts may complicate drainage design
• Bulbouts may interrupt bicycle facilities and/or reduce road space for bicyclists
• Refuge islands may cause pedestrian crossing time to
increase waiting for gap in traffic
• Bulbouts may reduce on-street parking
• Bulbouts may impact right-turning emergency vehicles, buses, and trucks
• Reduces vehicle capacity of the roadway, potentially
increasing congestion
• May increase vehicle traffic and congestion on alternate parallel roadways
• Increased congestion may slow emergency vehicles and
transit
• Requires lengthy study and public engagement process
prior to implementation
Cost:
• $25,000-$50,000 Curb Extension (Bulbout)
• Roadway Reconfiguration costs vary based on
configuration changes
• $20,000-$40,000 per Pedestrian Refuge Island
• $25,000-$35,000 per Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Design Guidance:
• CAMUTCD, FHWA Guidelines

Effectiveness:
• Studies have found lateral shifts
can reduce the 85th percentile
speed by 11 mph.*
• Studies have found that chicanes
can reduce the 85th percentile
speed by 8 - 12 mph.**
• Studies have found medians can
reduce fatal collisions by 50%.*

DESCRIPTION
Horizontal deflections are a suite of tools that create horizontal shifts in the roadway alignment, hindering the ability of drivers to travel in a straight line and forcing speed reductions to navigate. A lateral shift utilizes curb extensions to shift the roadway alignment in at least one direction. Chicanes are versions of a lateral shift, with multiple shifts in the roadway alignment forming S-shaped curves. A two-lane choker utilizes curb extensions at a mid-block location to physically narrow the roadway, while a one-lane choker does the same to reduce the roadway to one lane, forcing drivers to yield to and negotiate oncoming traffic. Medians and partial medians are raised islands along a roadway centerline that narrow the travel lanes and separate opposing traffic. While typically constructed using curb extensions, horizontal deflections can be accomplished with striping, signing, and delineators to lesser effect.

• A through circulation and diversion study is required before installation.

DESCRIPTION
Neighborhood access control consist of a suite of tools that divert traffic away from select neighborhood streets, forcing drivers to use alternate routes. Forced turn islands are raised islands that restrict certain turning movements at an intersection approach, typically forcing drivers to turn right. Median barriers use raised islands along the centerline of a primary street to prevent through movements and left turns from side streets. Diagonal diverters place a raised barrier diagonally across an intersection to block through movements from each direction. Partial closures install permanent barriers such as islands, gates, or cul-de-sac conversions to close the street to traffic in one direction. The design of some of these tools can be modified to allow bicycle traffic to proceed unimpeded.

DESCRIPTION
Modern roundabouts are large, raised islands that serve as a form of intersection control and are typically used in place of a traffic signal when upgrading a four-way stop-controlled intersection.

Drivers circulate counterclockwise around the raised feature to traverse the intersection. Approaches to the intersection are yield-controlled and typically have flared entry lanes that increase capacity for the intersection and raised splitter islands that deflect and form gaps in traffic. Roundabouts substantially lower collision risk by reducing potential conflict points within an intersection.

DESCRIPTION
Vertical deflections are a suite of tools consisting of raised features along a roadway that force vehicles to reduce speed to comfortably traverse them. Speed kidneys are a series of elongated raised features with a curvilinear shape in the direction of traffic, giving vehicles the option to either pass over them or take a curvilinear path to avoid vertical discomfort. Speed tables are wider, flat-topped raised features that can accommodate most vehicles ‘wheelbases, allowing slightly faster crossing speeds.

Speed tables can be improved with crosswalk markings to create a raised crosswalk or expanded to cover an entire intersection to create a raised intersection.

DESCRIPTION
Vertical deflections are a suite of tools consisting of raised features along a roadway that force vehicles to reduce speed to comfortably traverse them. Traffic circles are used to slow down vehicular traffic at unsignalized intersections and feature landscaping to help focus road user attention on approaching traffic. Raised crosswalks provide an elevated crossing to reduce vehicle speed and better place pedestrians in a drivers field of vision. Raised intersections provide similar benefits to raised crosswalks but span the larger intersection area.

TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLKIT
40 Case Study Locations
Based on resident feedback from the first community workshop, six (6) case study locations were determined and are used to help demonstrate how the toolkit could be implemented. The case study locations vary in facility type, facility user, and are at locations spread throughout the City. The possible tools for each case study location provide an incremental approach to traffic calming solutions that help to address the resident’s traffic concerns identified in the community workshop.

16 Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations Select Countermeasure(s)
Table 1 provides initial countermeasure
options for various roadway conditions. Each
matrix cell indicates possibilities that may
be appropriate for designated pedestrian
crossings. Not all of the countermeasures
listed in the matrix cell should necessarily be
installed at a crossing.

For multi-lane roadway crossings with
vehicle AADTs exceeding 10,000, a marked
crosswalk alone is typically insufficient
(Zegeer, 2005). Under such conditions, more
substantial crossing improvements (such as
the refuge island, PHB, and RRFB) are also
needed to prevent an increase in pedestrian
crash potential.

SCOPE OF WORK

CITY OF LOMITA’S LOCAL TRAVEL NETWORK 1

UNDERSTANDING
The City of Lomita’s Local Travel Network (LTN) and its plans for implementing traffic calming treatments is
another vital piece amongst others like the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and Citywide School Loading
Zone Study in which the City’s commitment to improve
safety, sustainability, and health for its residents is palpable. The implementation of this LTN focuses on
developing a low-stress multimodal street network
through signing and striping, wayfinding, and traffic
calming treatments. Through our ongoing work with
the City of Lomita on the School Loading Zone Study
and SBCCOG’s LTN work in Lomita, we understand the
City has a diverse multimodal community that includes
neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), bicyclists,
pedestrians, electric scooters, motor vehicles, and
buses. Forming a low-speed network throughout the
City that places safety and comfort at the forefront for each of these users is the primary goal for this project.

Our goal is to form a low-speed network throughout the City that prioritizes the safety and comfort of vulnerable roadway users.

The community of the City of Lomita will be an
important aspect to the success of the LTN and the
implementation plans. With the City being populated
with mostly residential neighborhoods, it will be
important to keep them informed and gain their
consensus along the project delivery process. This
includes meaningful engagement events and activities
that present the most current plans for each project
corridor that are clear and technically accessible to the entire demographic range of the community.

The LTN corridors in Lomita span a variety of roadway
types, from narrower residential streets like 255th
Street to longer corridors like Eshelman Avenue. The
combination of navigational wayfinding with traffic
calming will expand how active transportation and
micromobility users travel in the City, allowing them to reach destinations like downtown Lomita on Narbonne
Avenue, businesses along Lomita Boulevard, and the
Lomita Recreation Center. LTN corridor improvements,
too, will improve connections to neighboring
communities in Torrance and Harbor Gateway,
highlighting routes that bridge active transportation
barriers such as Western Avenue.

We will take access for transit users into consideration.

Tuesday, October 07, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *1001
2 TOOLE DESIGN
The Eshelman Avenue corridor is of specific importance
due to its role as a longer connector across the City:
not only does it connect north into Torrance, but it
serves three schools and one recreation center. As
such, it carries higher volumes of traffic than other LTN segments in the City, and crossing conflicts between
motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists are common at
key intersections near schools. Data collected by Toole Design on Eshelman Avenue shows heavy pedestrian
volumes at 255th Street, Pacific Coast Highway, and
259th Place, and that over 80% of motorists exceed the
speed limit. Thoughtful traffic calming elements will be key to ensuring that conditions are comfortable for all modes of active transportation along Eshelman Avenue.

Additionally, the lone east-west LTN route across the
entirety of Lomita traverses seven streets, including
from west to east: 256th Street, Pennsylvania Avenue,
255th Street, Eshelman Avenue, 254th Street, Walnut
Street, and 253rd Street. While this RFP focuses
primarily on Eshelman Avenue, it’s also important to
note that a network of low speed, low volumes streets
are only as good as the weakest link or intersection, and these typically include intersections where turns are
required and conflicts are most likely. This route does

APPROACH

KEY VALUES
SAFETY
The proposed Lomita LTN identifies streets that
generally have slower, lower traffic activity. Most of
these streets in the LTN consists of single family and
multifamily residential housing and is within walking
distance to several schools and parks. The proposed
Lomita LTN plans to connect to downtown Lomita
and crosses over Pacific Coast Highway. Safety and
convenience are paramount to all types of users,
especially the most vulnerable. Increasing safety for
the people who walk, bike, roll, or use transit will also increase safety for motorists. We aim to create an
environment that is comfortable and welcoming for
users of all ages and abilities.

Safety is primarily a function of design, and it is at the forefront of all Toole Design projects. Our approach
include key sections of Eshelman Avenue, including
proximity to St. Margaret Mary School, a key school
bus pick-up/drop-off zone, at Eshelman Avenue/255th
Street, Alexander Fleming Middle School, and the fivelegged study intersection of Walnut Street/253rd Street/ Ebony Lane. The recommendations and conceptual
design plans that Toole Design have developed for the
School Loading Zone Study will be crucial in refining the original recommendations on these corridors.

We commend the City of Lomita for taking on this
work. Our firm is active transportation-focused and
mission-driven, and our team is passionate about
helping communities plan, build, and retrofit their
transportation systems to make active travel safer,
more attractive and more efficient. Toole Design’s
extensive experience with implementing LTNs and
traffic calming treatments, along with our ongoing work on the Lomita School Zone Study and the SBCCOG LTN,
uniquely position us for this project. Our familiarity with Lomita’s design preferences will allow us to smoothly
integrate these elements into the final design, ensuring consistency with the City’s broader transportation and
urban planning strategies.
minimizes the risk of severe crashes for all modes
through safety countermeasures we regularly design
for clients across the U.S. We will also draw from our
experiences as the national leaders in Vision Zero
planning and active transportation design guidance.

Toole Design is currently supporting the City of Lomita in developing a Citywide School Loading Zone Study that includes Eshelman Avenue Elementary, St. Margaret
Mary, and Alexander Fleming Middle School that are
located within the improvement corridor of this project.

Central to this Study is protecting children—our most
vulnerable active transportation street users—and
prioritizing traffic safety investments to realize an
all ages and abilities goal that the City envisions.

Coupled with our understanding that Eshelman Avenue
is affected by congestion and is identified as one of
Lomita’s busiest streets, bring credence to the need for traffic calming treatments for this corridor.

CITY OF LOMITA’S LOCAL TRAVEL NETWORK 3
Toole Design is dedicated to implementing safety
features that would address issues and goals identified in our previous work with the City.

As a firm that is focused on making streets safer for
the most vulnerable road users, we seek opportunities
to implement intersection safety improvements
and traffic calming measures in all our projects. We
have evaluated speeds and volumes on countless
projects to identify speeding and cut-through traffic
challenges and their possible solutions. We have
interdisciplinary staff with public sector experience and the proven ability to work directly with agency staff,
councils and commissions, and the general public.

We have successfully worked with local communities
to develop plans that facilitate pedestrian crossing
by incorporating features such as rectangular rapid
flashing beacons (RRFBs), curb extensions, ADA
compliant ramps, and pedestrian refuge islands, while
also reducing vehicle speeds by implementing traffic
calming solutions including speed tables, speed humps,
raised intersections, and lane reductions.

Toole Design staff include roadway design engineers
who have experience developing construction
documents for a range of project types, from
interstates and complex interchanges, to urban and
suburban streets. Toole Design’s experience includes
complex urban streetscapes and Complete Streets
designs, on-road bicycle facilities, intersection safety improvements, and off-road trails. We have a keen
understanding of the design details associated with the various modes and how the modes interact with each
other. We also understand how improvements for one
mode impact other modes and how to best achieve
modal balance. For additional capacity in final design
and surveying, we have teamed with Psomas to provide
additional support in this service area.

MULTIMODAL DESIGN
Toole Design is a recognized leader in bikeway and
pedestrian facility design, including alternatives
analysis and concept design, cost estimates, final design and construction documents, project coordination,
design standards, and construction administration
services. Our approach to bicycle and pedestrian facility design will include: applying the latest research and
best practices to our designs, minimizing roadway
user conflicts with vehicles, making connections to
destinations, identifying opportunities for quick-build projects, identifying opportunities for aesthetic and
sustainable treatments, prioritizing intuitive routes and accessibilities, and considering ongoing maintenance
from the outset. Because of our specialization in this
type of work, we will apply a streamlined process to
conduct fieldwork, review crash and travel data, and
develop designs. We will follow our internal design
process taking projects from concept to final design
ensuring coordination with the City throughout.

4 TOOLE DESIGN

NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIVITY
Toole Design will incorporate and build from the
custom wayfinding signage design the SBCCOG has
set precedence on to ensure navigating to these
destinations is easy for the user. Our approach to
wayfinding is to focus on the needs of each individual
user to create signage systems that turn the built
environment into an easy-to-navigate landscape. In
addition to creating attractive and functional signs,
Toole Design is adept at translating stakeholder needs
into sign typologies that fit their environment. We
respect historic contexts such as the SBCCOG LTN
branding signs and City logo signs, and our graphic
designers use branding and design to connect the travel experience with the surrounding area.

Our team has developed wayfinding protocols and
manuals, regional wayfinding plans, planned and
designed on- and off-road wayfinding systems,
informational kiosks, sign construction plans, and
provided oversight of sign installation by both in-house crews and contractors. As authors of the AASHTO
bike and pedestrian guides, our team brings in-depth
understanding of best practices and we are expert
at developing wayfinding that is MUTCD-compliant
while still communicating the unique character of the
community. We know that good wayfinding and signage
connects people to their destinations and makes travel
seamless and enjoyable for everyone, and we develop
wayfinding that is thoughtful, accessible, and easy to
use and understand.

BUILD ON PREVIOUS WORK

FROM SBCCOG AND THE CITIES
This LTN and implementation plan will align with the
principles established in previous and ongoing LTN
efforts, such as the SBCCOG LTN, Slow Speed Network
Strategic Plan, and the LTN Route Refinement Study. We
will build upon SBCCOG and the City’s previous analysis to develop seamless, integrated corridors that bridge
existing network gaps. By leveraging the knowledge
and lessons learned from past implementation efforts,
we can strengthen and refine the LTN’s impact across
the City.

PROMOTE AND ENSURE COLLABORATION
This LTN and the implementation of its traffic calming
treatment will be rooted in meaningful engagement
within the City and across the SBCCOG region, ensuring
that recommendations reflect the needs and priorities
of neighborhoods and jurisdictions. Toole Design will
collaborate closely with communities, stakeholders, and micromobility partners to bring creative and dynamic
participation techniques to the project.

FOCUS ON IMPLEMENTATION-READY SOLUTIONS
We recognize that a key outcome of this LTN is
implementation. To that end, we have allocated
a large amount of project resources towards the
final design tasks, including site visits, technical
feasibility assessments, and data collection. Our
emphasis will be on design solutions that can be
implemented, complemented by cost estimates and
policy recommendations that remove barriers to
implementation.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS AND DESIGN
We appreciate that the City has identified key design locations (as shown in Attachment B of the RFP) for investment, but we also acknowledge that some of these may not be the best treatments to support the LTN. In particular, our ongoing work with the City has resulted in some alternate design recommendations at some of these locations that may better achieve LTN goals and address feasibility. The city-wide map below shows the proposed LTN plan along with highlighted areas where we have identified additional traffic calming treatments and crossing designs that the City can consider for implementation to further enhance the effectiveness of this LTN and help with getting closer to the goals for this travel network. As noted in the Understanding, we feel strongly that intersections are the key focus areas for truly achieving an effective LTN. The following design concept ideas reflect our work with the City, community, and schools to promote safer street conditions. We believe each additional concept alternative and recommendation we mention can be designed and approved with the six-month project design schedule.

ESHELMAN AVENUE AT 255TH STREET AND 254TH STREET
We applaud the City’s initiative of the proposed improvements at the intersections of 255th and 254th Street that include rumble strips, raised medians, and additional signage to reduce vehicle speeds and create an environment that calls awareness to crossing pedestrians within Alexander Fleming Middle School Zone. In the presented design concept, we have taken a closer look at both of these intersections and provided some supplemental treatments using curb extensions to help reduce crossing distances for pedestrians and improve pedestrian visibility.

Key changes and enhancements to the original recommendations include:
▪ Relocation of the 254th Street south approach crosswalk to the north approach, a pedestrian refuge on the north side of the intersection, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) to increase pedestrian visibility, promote two-stage crossings, and avoid the large drainage inlet in the southwest corner of the intersection. Yielding compliance at the uncontrolled crosswalk on the south approach of 255th Street is poor, and as a result few students feel comfortable crossing at this location.
▪ Additional pavement markings and green conflict markings to the existing Class II bike lanes, increasing bicyclist safety and visibility through the intersections. ▪ Curb extensions at the northwest corner and east side of the street at the 255th Street intersection, further supporting a safer loading/unloading zone for St. Margaret Mary school and Fleming Middle School bus loading area, while promoting a more comfortable environment for Fleming Middel students who cross at this intersection. Curb extensions will also provide more space to install ADA compliant ramps that are aligned with PROWAG.

WALNUT STREET BETWEEN BLAND PLACE AND 254TH STREET
Through our ongoing work on the Lomita Citywide School Loading Zone Study, we have been able to prepare conceptual plans for the Walnut Street corridor from Bland Place to 254th Street. Though much of this segment of Walnut Street lies outside of the Lomita LTN, we identify this as an opportunity for the segment between 255th Street and 254th Street to provide consistency to the traffic calming treatments we proposed just north of this segment.

Providing seamless and consistent treatments through the Walnut Street corridor will increase driver and bicyclist expectations as they move through the corridor and approach the intersections. This will further reduce the chances of crashes at these areas. Our Walnut Street concept provides a high-visibility crossings, designated biking areas on the corridor and through the intersection crossings, bicycle conflict markings through the intersections for increased visibility and awareness, and curb extensions for reduced crossing distances and pedestrian visibility. The concept also eliminates the center turn lane, which has unfortunately become a common, and unsafe location for parents to pick up and drop off their kids at Fleming Middle School. The inclusion of the parking protected Class IV bikeway on the west side of the street maintains parking and drop-off/pick-up capabilities. We plan to carry all the mentioned treatments over into the Walnut Street/253rd Street/Ebony Lane intersection just north of the segment that is within the Lomita LTN.

WALNUT STREET AT 253RD STREET AND EBONY LANE
The existing Walnut Street/253rd Street/Ebony Lane intersection configuration is complicated with several streets converging into one single point that is also offset from the natural intersection of the roads. The City is interested improving this intersection by possibly converting this offset intersection into a traffic circle. Without introducing an irregular-shaped traffic circle (i.e. traffic ellipse), we believe the City may experience difficulties eliminating all turn conflicts through this intersection to avoid collisions. We have included a conceptual drawing of a proposed traffic circle to aid in evaluating its feasibility operationally for this intersection. Preliminarily, we have observed many of the conflicts that will come from a proposed traffic circle or roundabout will occur from the constraints in the ability to provide proper deflection for approaching traffic as well as maintaining all existing turn movements from departure/receiving lanes or driveways within the intersection. In the second option above we have considered a T-intersection approach that reallocate much of the unused space within and approaching the intersection, tightened the intersection crossing with curb extensions, maintained existing driveway access, and preserved a dedicated space for bicyclist that reduce ambiguity and increases comfort through a complicated intersection.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
Toole Design has a reputation for high-quality work and outstanding performance on design and planning projects throughout North America. We employ a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program to control the quality of our work and that of our vendors. Our utmost goal is to exceed client expectations.

Every Toole Design project is assigned a Principal-in-Charge, a senior staff member who takes personal responsibility for Toole Design’s performance on the project. As Principal-in-Charge, Adam Vest, PE will be responsible for monitoring Toole Design’s performance on the project. As the QA/QC Lead, Amalia Leighton Cody, PE, AICP will oversee and manage the QA/QC program.

At the project outset, the Project Manager, Principal-in-Charge, and QA/QC Lead work with the project team to discuss the appropriate QA/QC process. Even before a project begins, Daniel David, PE, our Project Manager has considered the time required to appropriately review and approve all project deliverables as part of the proposed cost and schedule. Toole Design keeps internal documentation of our rigorous review process, providing our clients the confidence that projects are backchecked to ensure they meet the highest standards.

The production of a quality product frequently involves the combined efforts of several individuals. As a result, all Toole Design staff involved in the project are expected to adhere to this philosophy:
▪ Quality is achieved through adequate project planning, coordination, supervision, and technical direction; proper definition of project requirements and procedures; the use of appropriately skilled personnel; and by individuals performing work functions carefully, accurately, and completely. ▪ Quality is controlled through checking, reviewing, and monitoring of work activities by individuals with appropriate levels of experience and who are not directly responsible for performing the work. ▪ Quality is assured through a qualified staff person conducting independent reviews of the project’s processes, procedures, documentation, supervision, technical direction, and staffing. ▪ Quality is critical to project success and client satisfaction, and achieving Toole Design’s quality goals requires careful planning and budgeting.

Toole Design is happy to share our full QA/QC policy and program with the City. However, the program can be summed up simply: no report, drawing, or product of any kind leaves our office without a documented review. We demand the same level of performance from our subconsultants, and our senior staff thoroughly review their work before its submittal.

DETAILED WORK PLAN
We have followed the scope of work outlined in the RFP
and noted areas where we will add value or recommend
modifications and innovations. We understand our role
as your partner, and we look forward to working with
you to fine-tune this work plan as needed.

TASK 1: PROJECT ADMINISTRATION

AND MEETINGS
Toole Design’s Project Manager, Daniel David, has
led efforts of similar scope, scale, and complexity,
and is known for his dedication to his clients, project management, and design excellence. He will be fully
dedicated to this effort for the life of the project and serve as the primary point of contact. Daniel has
the time and capacity needed for successful project
delivery, and will be in close coordination weekly, if not daily, as the project progresses.

KICKOFF MEETING
The Toole Design Team will prepare for and facilitate
a virtual project kickoff with the City Project Manager and other key City staff. At this time, we will review
the overall project objectives, scope of work, and
schedule and discuss any revisions or updates
deemed necessary. We will discuss preferences for
communication protocols, invoicing and progress
reporting, file sharing, and data and information
requests. The meeting will be a great opportunity
for the team to create a shared understanding of the
opportunities and key concerns or aspirations. Our staff are familiar with the area and will come prepared with
initial questions for the project team.

PLAN AND SCHEDULE
Immediately after the kickoff meeting Toole Design will draft a Project Management Plan (PMP) that documents
the management approach, process, and methods we
will employ to support overall project needs, team
coordination, communication protocols, quality control
procedures, and milestone tracking. The PMP will
serve as a living document, detailing the framework
for project execution, monitoring, and quality control
throughout the project lifecycle, including an updated
project schedule. The project schedule will be prepared and organized using the projects scope of work tasks.

Living on a SharePoint site, Toole Design will update the PMP and schedule on a monthly basis so that it is easily accessible and useful to all project team members.

BI-WEEKLY PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

MEETINGS AND PROGRESS REPORTS
For the duration of the project, the project development team (PDT) will meet biweekly (twice a month) to review progress, discuss deliverables, and coordinate next
steps. Biweekly meetings can include others as needed.

We will assume 12 PDT meetings will be held during the
duration of the project. We will schedule and coordinate technical coordination meetings as-needed with City
staff and project stakeholders throughout the project
to coordinate and resolve design issues as they arise.

We will save agendas and notes for the biweekly PDT,
technical coordination, and stakeholder meetings in a
single place for easy access and collaboration.

TASK 1 DELIVERABLES:
▪ One virtual kickoff meeting
(including materials, facilitation, notes)
▪ 12 PDT virtual meetings, agenda, and notes
▪ Up to three virtual technical coordination meetings,
agenda, and notes
▪ Up to three virtual stakeholder meetings, agenda,

TASK 2: WAYFINDING

AND SIGNAGE PLAN

EXISTING CONDITIONS
Toole Design will prepare a Data Request for the
City to gather relevant information including general
information (e.g., route’s length), any updated network plans, traffic and crash data, main destinations, brand guidelines, and/or SBCCOG wayfinding standards. The
data received will supplement that sourced by the
team through field visits and desktop research such
as navigation pain points or limitations to visibility, to create a baseline of the existing conditions of the area.

Two Toole Design staff will conduct one field visit not exceeding two days; staff from the City are welcome
to join for the visits of their interest. Field visits will be conducted to assess on-the-ground conditions and
better understand the opportunities and constraints
of the network. These visits will help evaluate the
availability of space for typical sign placements, identify atypical conditions, and uncover visibility or safety
concerns within the LTN. The visits will also allow the team to document and account for site-specific issues
that may require tailored design solutions or alternative approaches. We will document observations with
geotagged photos and notes.

DESTINATION HIERARCHY
Using the guidance from the SBCCOG LTN, Toole
Design will create an updated destination hierarchy
that reflects the area of this scope, based on the
destinations identified by previous efforts, the City
Project Manager, and the findings from Existing
Conditions data collection. These destinations, such
as institutions, cultural amenities, parks, trails, transit stops, and mobility hubs, will be used to guide the
messaging at each sign.

SIGN LOCATION PLANS
Toole Design will prepare location plans for the routes identified, using sign types outlined in SBCCOG’s
LTN shown below. Toole Design will ensure that the
signs within location plans are positioned effectively
throughout the routes responding to the Existing
Conditions assessment. Placement will be based on
user flow, key decision points, information needs,
and sightline analysis and will consider spacing and
hierarchy to maintain clarity and prevent clutter along the routes.

The location plans will consist of a GIS point layer
symbolized on a map or aerial imagery that will indicate a sign assembly (approximately 12-16 signs per mile).

The GIS layer’s attribute table will include fields
specifying the sign assembly type and sign placement.

The location plans will also include messaging of
individual signs to be provided in PDF format.

A draft will be provided for review prior to development of sign messaging.

MESSAGING
This subtask will focus on development of specific
messages for each sign location identified during
Location Plan Development, refining and standardizing
messaging strategies to ensure consistency across all
wayfinding signs, based on the established Destination
Hierarchy and sign locations. Toole Design will develop messaging that addresses user needs, enhances
navigation, and communicates key route information.

A draft of messaging will be provided as an Excel file
for review prior to development of sign layouts. Upon
approval of messaging, all layouts will be developed for individual sign locations.

DESIGN INTENT DRAWINGS
The Sign Location Plans, Layouts, Sign Schedule, and
drawings illustrating the details of sign assembly, will be packaged together into a drawing set suitable for
bidding by qualified fabricators.

TASK 3: PUBLIC OUTREACH
To address the varying community needs and contexts,
we will draw from our years of local and national
experience and deep commitment to creating an
equitable platform to support the City in their goals to hear from as many voices, in as meaningful a way as
possible for this effort. We will be available to attend up to two community engagement meetings, we will
have staff available to attend the meetings whether are in-person or virtual. Outreach stages are expected to
follow the below stages:
▪ Promotion of and realization of one public
workshops focused on gathering input and
feedback on the LTN routes, locations of proposed
traffic calming, and concepts developed by the
City in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and
Traffic Calming Toolkit.
▪ One public workshop focused on presenting and
gather feedback on 60% design concepts.

Throughout this process, we will coordinate with
SBCCOG on their public outreach processes regarding
the LTN, incorporating feedback relevant to the
Lomita segments. We will also offer digital options for residents to share their thoughts and feedback through
the project website, such as digital surveys.

TASK 4: DESIGN—PLANS,

SPECIFICATIONS, AND ESTIMATE

TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY
Our approach to survey work will consist
of the following:
▪ Selective civil design surveys over locations
requested by design team, which are to include
horizontal and vertical measurements of existing
permanent features within public rights of way
in said locations, including street cross-sections
at 25’ intervals and surface utility features.

Contour interval of 1’ and scale of 1”=10’ assumed.

Elevations will be relative to City benchmarks,
and centerline monuments of record will be used
to control horizontal relation to right-of-way. It is
assumed that no more than 10 standard residential
intersections will require civil design surveys.
▪ Orthographic two-dimensional basemap of
subject corridors within bounds of subject public
rights of way (including 50’ beyond return of
intersecting street) which is to be developed from
third party orthophoto imagery collected within
the previous 12 months and situated on NAD83
state plane coordinates as determined by said third
party. Improvements depicted will be those visible
from above without benefit of ground truing or
supplemental field measurements.
▪ Rights-of-way and centerlines on the four
corridors based on available Los Angeles County
record maps, without benefit of title reports.

Centerline monuments will not be surveyed except
as needed for placement on State Plane NAD83
coordinate system. Should potential conflicts or
encroachments be discovered during the course of
this preliminary survey effort, additional scope and
fee would be required to confirm precise location of
rights-of-way, as well as all relevant matters of title related thereto. Where available record maps do
not reflect location of public improvements, we will
defer to mapping available from the Los Angeles
County assessor.

FINAL 60% PS&E DESIGN
Acceptance of the conceptual plans after meeting with
the City to discuss the recommended alternatives,
as well as conducting the first public outreach
workshop noting revisions in the first month after
a notice to proceed is issued by the City shall mean
the design is agreed upon and Toole Design will be
notified in writing to proceed to the 60% PS&E Design
phase. Toole Design will develop a plan set, technical
specifications consistent with City format, and detailed cost estimate that define the type, location, size, and material of the proposed Eshelman Street treatments,
curb ramps, driveways, and crossing improvements
suitable for submission to the City of Lomita. The
package may consist of the following information:
title sheet, general notes and legend sheets, typical
sections and details, demolition plans, horizontal
control plans, street improvement plans, signing and
marking plans that incorporates the final wayfinding
signage plans, drainage plans, landscape and irrigation plans, bike lane plans, construction staging, traffic
control, fiber optic for traffic signal communication
(if applicable), turning template and sight distance
exhibits, construction cost estimate, and draft technical specifications.

Upon completion of the 60% PS&E package and QA/QC
review, Toole Design anticipates submitting the package to the City and potentially affected utility companies
for review and comments. A comment matrix will
be prepared by Toole Design to record and respond
to comments posed by the City. This matrix will be
submitted with the final 90% PS&E package to ensure
all the City comments are addressed with the submittal.

Toole Design will conduct a field walk-through with
City staff to aid the 60% submittal’s design-focused
discussion at the City’s discretion.

FINAL 90%, 100%, AND FINAL DESIGN
The 90% and 100% PS&E submissions build and refine
the previous 60% submission. For the 90% and 100%
PS&E submission, we will:
▪ Develop and refine plans, specifications, and
estimate to incorporate agreed upon changes
requested during prior design reviews by the City
and provide formal written responses through a
comment-response matrix
▪ Update cost estimates and quantity take-offs
▪ Address comments made to the technical provisions
and develop special provisions for items that are
not included in the standard specifications
▪ Conduct a field walk-through with City staff at 90%
submittal to aid design-focused discussions
▪ Prepare Resident Engineer’s file containing the Final 100% PS&E package, quantity take-offs and backup
calculations, CAD base files, and topographical
information and files
Utility coordination efforts are completed during
the final design phase; however, efforts shift
from identifying conflicts to finalizing solutions in
collaboration with utility company representatives. We
anticipate that the utility owners will address all utility designs if utility relocation is needed to accommodate
the improvements.

TASK 6: CEQA
Our Toole Design Team is equipped to prepare all the
necessary CEQA documents for the LTN improvements.

Our team’s experience with these types of projects
that stay within City right-of-way and have minimal
environmental impact lead us to assume that a Notice
of Exemption (NOE) will need to be drafted and finalized for this project. Our process in drafting, finalizing, and filing an NOE are described below.

DRAFT NOTICE OF EXEMPTION

AND MEMORANDUM
The Toole Design Team will prepare a Draft Notice of
Exemption (NOE), consistent with Section 15063 of the
State CEQA Guidelines. The NOE will include a description of the project location as well as the nature, purpose, and beneficiaries of the project. Psomas will prepare
a Memorandum for the City’s file to document why the
project is exempt by substantiating the lack of significant environmental impacts. The discussion and analysis
will be qualitative. For this task, Psomas will review
General Plan and local planning documents to ensure
conformance with the City requirements and that no
significant impacts would occur related to the Exceptions identified in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines.

The Draft NOE and Memorandum will be submitted
electronically to the City for review and comment.

FINAL NOTICE OF EXEMPTION

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Toole Design has had the privilege to be part of many
projects that have direct, relevant application to the City of Lomita’s Local Travel Network project. In the pages
that follow we have included an overview of some of our most relevant projects.

LOMITA CITYWIDE

SCHOOL LOADING ZONE STUDY

LOMITA, CA
Toole Design is leading a study of school access
conditions in the four schools within the City of
Lomita: Eshelman Avenue Elementary, Lomita STEAM
Magnet Elementary, Alexander Fleming Middle, and
St. Margaret Mary School. Working with input from
school staff and City stakeholders, the Toole Design
Team conducted site observations of each schools’
arrival and dismissal conditions, noting safety issues, opportunities, and common conflicts during drop-off
and pick-up. These range from stressful crossings
at arterials to unsafe vehicle drop-off practices.

The team also held workshops to gather input from
families, staff, and caregivers of each school to best
understand what issues impact how they travel to and
from school each day.

The study will put forth a holistic suite of
recommendations for improving everyday school
access: a set of infrastructure recommendations
addressing high-stress crossings, loading zone
conflicts, and other active transportation needs, and
a series of programmatic materials tailored to each
school. Street improvements, which will be sorted by
quick-build opportunities and longer-term grant-driven
projects, are designed to work together with programs
such as encouragement campaigns to introduce more
active transportation options to families traveling to
school in Lomita.

This project is currently on-budget.

SOUTH BAY CITIES LTN
“CARSON TO THE SEA” STUDY

SOUTH BAY AREA, CA
Toole Design is working with the South Bay Cities
Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to reimagine portions
of the South Bay region’s Local Travel Network (LTN)
of interconnected, low-stress neighborhood routes.

The LTN is designed to accommodate a range of
micromobility modes, from bicycles to e-scooters
to neighborhood electric vehicles like golf carts.

The study addresses a series of gap corridors that
currently disconnect the LTN: arterial roadways and
high-traffic crossings that require a new toolkit of
safety improvements to accommodate micromobility
and active modes. The study focuses on two key areas:
gap corridors around the portions of the LTN located in the City of Carson and corridors connecting the City of Lomita to the San Pedro neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Ultimately the study will generate a set of
representational concepts for treatments along the gap
corridors, setting up local jurisdictions to incorporate them into future projects on those roadways. An
analysis of existing barrier conditions will aid in
matching concept treatments to segments and key
intersections along each corridor.

The Toole Design Team will coordinate a series
of outreach events to raise local awareness and
understanding of the LTN. These will include a set
of “ride-and-drive” events where attendees will be
able to try out a range of micromobility and active
transportation modes. These and other events will
help residents of Carson, Lomita, and surrounding
areas better re-envision their local streets and re-think transportation options.

This project is currently on-budget.

FIRST STREET SEPARATED BIKEWAY

BURBANK, CA
Toole Design developed concept design plans for a
pair of one-way separated bikeways (Class IV) along
both sides of N. First Street and S. Ikea Way. We
developed three concepts to accommodate a twophased implementation process that included a rapid implementation on-street facility with no curbline
changes and a long-term curb-separated design. The
rapid implementation phase and concept will allow the
City to test the design and make adjustments to the
permanent design. The two long-term design concepts
included a constrained design and a preferred design
with easements on private property for public benefit.

Toole Design’s services included establishing
protected bicycle lane design standards for the City
of Burbank, review of existing motor vehicle data
along the corridor and creation of a project basemap,
and draft and final design concepts, including plans,
sections, and details. Toole Design is now leading final design plans for Phase 1 of First Street. Ongoing work
includes signing and striping plans, ADA ramp design,
signal modification plans including bicycle signals, and construction plans. Our work also includes integration
and review of ongoing development projects at two
locations on the corridor.

This project was completed under budget.

FAIRVIEW ROAD ACTIVE

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS

COSTA MESA, CA
Toole Design worked with the City of Costa Mesa to
implement active transportation improvements on
Fairview Road from north of Fair Drive to Newport
Road. These improvements included developing
conceptual plans that illustrated the conversion of
Class II bike lanes to Class IV through the Fairview Road corridor, conducted a road diet by reducing the six-lane arterial to four-lanes, installed a Pedestrian Hybrid
Beacon Signal, and designed floating bus islands in
both travel directions of Fairview Road complete with
additional curb ramps where necessary. Community
engagement with the City’s Active Transportation
Committee and residents were done through a series
of workshops to gather feedback on the conceptual
design. We led the final design phase for this project
and produced final construction bid documents for to
the City. This project is expected to begin construction in Fall 2025.

Due to requested contract amendments by the client,
this project’s budget was expanded beyond the original, agreed amount.

ALAMEDA NEIGHBORHOOD
GREENWAYS PHASE 1

ALAMEDA, CA
The City of Alameda aims to bring to life nine streets of its neighborhood greenway (NG) network, as envisioned
in its Active Transportation Plan, by 2030. To begin
this transformation, Toole Design is spearheading
the conceptual design and progressing through PS&E
for four miles of NGs along Pacific Avenue, Versailles
Avenue, and San Jose Avenue. The final designs
will primarily feature quick-build materials but will
also incorporate treatments, such as asphalt speed
humps and solar-powered Rapid Rectangular Flashing
Beacons. This project is operating on an ambitious
schedule, targeting completion of construction by the
end of 2025.

We are conducting community outreach to better
understand residents’ current concerns and to inform
the selection of treatments that will help achieve key
project goals: prioritizing bicyclists, creating a safe environment for shared street use, calming traffic,
and enhancing the comfort and safety of crossings.

Our team will also develop a neighborhood greenway
toolkit, complete with a speed hump policy, to support
the continued roll-out of neighborhood greenways
throughout Alameda.

This project was completed under budget.

SEATTLE NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS

SEATTLE, WA
Neighborhood greenways are key facilities that serve
all ages and abilities in City of Seattle. Since 2014,
Toole Design has been supporting the planning, design,
and construction of 25 neighborhood greenways
throughout the City. Toole Design created the Seattle
Bicycle Facility Design Guide to support continued
efforts to install and update the greenway elements
including intersection treatments, signage, striping,
and other traffic calming elements. The locations of
the greenway span from low density residential, to
dense multifamily, and commercial areas connecting
the greenway facilities to trails and protected bike
lanes across the City of Seattle.

This project was completed under budget.

VERA AVENUE BICYCLE BOULEVARD

REDWOOD CITY, LA
Toole Design led the development of conceptual through
final PS&E for a bicycle boulevard along Vera Avenue
from El Camino Real to Alameda de las Pulgas, installing quick-build traffic calming features to make Vera Avenue a safe and comfortable route for a wide range of users.

In addition to the design, this project included data
collection, community outreach, construction support,
and post-construction evaluation tasks.

The main goal of the project was to rapidly design
and construct the Vera Avenue Bicycle Boulevard,
with installation complete by late 2020. This required
completing the PS&E design and cost estimate on a
compressed timeline. This was accomplished, with the
100% design being submitted to the City in June 2020.

Clear and concise communication with the client and
within Toole Design has ensured the efficient and timely production of deliverables.

After the quick-build design was installed, Toole Design supported the City in developing a design and cost
estimate to support an SMCTA Measure A funding
application to complete the engineering design phase
for permanent bicycle boulevard improvements on Vera
Avenue. The funding application was successful, and
the permanent project is now in design.

This project was completed on-budget.

PASADENA UNION STREET

CYCLE TRACK

PASADENA, CA
Toole Design worked with the City of Pasadena in the
concept and final design of a two-way curb-separated
bike lane on one-way Union Street. The project included design of an adjacent bicycle boulevard along Holliston Avenue between Union Street and Cordova Street. Toole
Design prepared the concept designs of the corridors,
creating design details and advising in the final design phase, and planning and conducting all public outreach
throughout the four-year project life.

The design for the two-way separated bike lane
included logical and safe transitions at the endpoints
of the bike lane where it meets more conventional
street configurations. Accommodating pedestrians
at separated bike lane crossings, intersections, and
in reference to on-street parking was key to the
design. The corridor required new bicycle signals to
accommodate two-way bicycle travel.

Union Street has numerous residential and commercial
driveways, many of which required unique treatments
at the separated bike lane crossing, where motorists
who have grown accustomed to one-way traffic on
Union Street will need to look both directions for
bicyclists. These driveway treatments required
considerations for adequate sight distance and will
likely include raised and recessed crossings, as well as elements to alert motorists to their surroundings.

Toole Design looked for opportunities to incorporate
green infrastructure and low-impact design into the
separated bike lane features.

Given the highly technical design context of this new
two-way separated bike lane, Toole Design staff were
responsible for planning and conducting three engaging
design workshops with community stakeholders, as
well as creating supplementary outreach tools. The
workshops included updates regarding the four-year
project timeline, information about design alternatives for topics such as drainage treatments and landscaping
options, and roll plots of the corridors for targeted oneon-one discussions. Toole Design prepared materials about the project for the City’s website and for an
interactive WikiMap to gather input from stakeholders
and interested residents.

The original project budget was amended to include
additional services throughout the contract.

SONOMA-MARIN AREA RAIL

TRANSIT DISTRICT PATHWAY

WAYFINDING SYSTEM PLAN

SONOMA AND MARIN COUNTIES, CA
Toole Design designed the wayfinding system for the
SMART Pathway. This route will span 70 miles of offroad and on-road bicycling facilities and operate in tandem with the SMART Railway to support multimodal
trips throughout Sonoma and Marin Counties. Our
work on this project included logo design, signage
design, and final map design. The design strategy for
maps leveraged a different map type for different
approaches, including full-system maps to encourage
rail to trail connections, area maps to encourage
exploration, and “gap maps” to assist users where
facilities are not yet complete. When fully constructed, the pathway will serve as both a standalone route as
well as first-/last-mile connector to the train. The first phase of signage is currently in fabrication, with install expected November 2024.

The original project budget was amended to include
additional services.

BREMERTON WAYFINDING

PLAN AND DESIGN

BREMERTON, WA
Toole Design led efforts to develop a Wayfinding
Strategy and Design Guidelines for the City of
Bremerton, that addressed all modes of travel. Our
solution was a sign family that fit seamlessly into
the City’s existing and varied street furnishings
while creating an efficient and cost-effective system
The Union Street Cycle Track was listed as one of PeopleForBikes’ “Best Bike Lanes of 2023,” and in the same year won an APWA BEST award from its Southern California Chapter for Traffic, Mobility, and Beautification.

CITY OF LOMITA’S LOCAL TRAVEL NETWORK 27
to address pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists
appropriately. The project is part of a phased approach to wayfinding and encompassed the development
of a wayfinding vision and strategy, a signage
design lexicon that can be used for future phases of
implementation, and fabrication specifications for a
first phase signage project.

The first phase of construction focused on the
pedestrian experience in Downtown Bremerton and the
shopping district of Manette. Final map artwork was
created for these locations featuring custom illustrations of key landmarks.

The original project budget was amended to include
additional services.

Toole Design developed a sign family that addressed pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers in Bremerton (top). Fabrication samples demonstrate the techniques and colors used in the sign family, which is currently in production (bottom).

CRENSHAW BOULEVARD

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT

INGLEWOOD, CA
The approximately 2.95 miles long Inglewood
Crenshaw Boulevard Transportation Improvement
Project provides infrastructure improvements,
including street improvements to increase safety
and mobility and pedestrian improvements,
transit accessibility improvements, traffic signal
modifications, upgrades, streetscape improvements
and landscaping, and other traffic safety
enhancements. Through this project, Psomas intends
to increase connectivity to significant destinations and transit ridership; and improve access to employment
centers, educational facilities, healthcare facilities, parks, and recreational centers. Tasks include:
▪ Implement intersection improvements (e.g., curb
extensions, ADA curb ramps, new pedestrian lighting)
▪ Install bus shelters and signage
▪ Plant new trees
▪ Provide maintenance of existing infrastructure (e.g., repair sidewalks, repave/repair roadways, and
construct new medians)
Further, the project will comply with all applicable
design requirements, which would promote
compatibility with the existing setting.

Psomas’ Certified Arborist assessed the condition
of all trees in the public right-of-way and prepared
an inventory report detailing the condition. The
Arborist coordinated closely with the engineering
design team and the landscape architect to provide
recommendations for trees to remove or retain,
guidelines to protect trees during construction,
locations for additional tree planting, and selections
for site-appropriate species.

Project construction was expedited by separating the
corridor into two phases. The City and Psomas worked
to optimize budget and realize time savings so project
can be completed well ahead of the LA Olympics event.

MARINE AVENUE AND LIBERTY

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA
The City of Manhattan Beach retained Psomas to
design the final construction plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for pavement rehabilitation and ADA
accessibility improvements to both Marine Avenue and
Liberty Village. Marine Avenue is an east/west sixlane divided arterial providing vehicle and pedestrian passage for the entire South Bay. The corridor has
landscaped raised medians and serves primarily
residential properties. Liberty Village consists of
private local streets that serve the homeowners
who live in the community. The pavement on Marine
Avenue and the local streets in Liberty Village require rehabilitation due to distress and patch deterioration.

Psomas is not only providing solutions to rehabilitate
the existing pavement but is also designing critical
pedestrian accessibility improvements by upgrading
curb ramps to meet current ADA requirements,
refreshing striping, and restoring impacted traffic
signal loops at necessary intersections. Project
challenges include both funding and schedule
restraints. The City has allotted an accelerated sixmonth time frame for the completion of this project.

The $1.6 million project budget is split between
$800,000 in Proposition C funding for Marine Avenue
improvements between Sepulveda Boulevard and
Aviation Boulevard, and $800,000 in Measure R Local
funds for the rehabilitation of Liberty Village.

Project was completed on time within the allocated
design and construction budgets.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Juan Ibarra, Senior Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: October 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Submittal of a Measure A Grant Funding Application for the Planning and Design for the Lomita Sports Complex

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of a Measure A Grant Fundin Application with the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) 2025 Competitive Grant Program; and authorize the City Manager to complete, sign and submit all required documentation.

BACKGROUND
The United States Department of Navy owns approximately 19 acres of land serving as a Defense Fuel Support Point facility operated by the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach (NWSSB) that encompasses a large area within San Pedro (City of Los Angeles), with approximately two of the 19 acres of land situated within the City of Lomita’s southeastern boundary at 26800 S. Western Ave. The approximately six acres located within Lomita operate as youth baseball fields built over 50 years ago and have since been used by the Lomita Little League under a license agreement with the Navy (Navy Fields).

In 2021, the NWSSB was instructed by the Department of Defense (collectively “Navy”) to begin exploring relinquishing portions of the Defense Fuel Support facility in response to a directive from the Secretary of Defense. With support from Congressman Ted Lieu and Congresswoman Nanette Barragan, Congress authorized the Navy to begin negotiations to transfer the Navy Fields to the City through the adoption of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bill in December 2024. The City of Lomita consequently began working with the Navy to begin the necessary real estate transactions associated with conveying the land to the City.

2 DISCUSSION
The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) has announced the 2025 Competitive Grant Programs, which will provide a total of $58 million in Measure A funding to support planning and development efforts across Los Angeles County. Some $18 million in funding is available to support planning and design efforts that lead to shovel-ready development projects. The City intends to apply for this category for the planning and design efforts of the Lomita Sports Complex (Navy Fields). The City goal is to expand recreational access to Lomita and surrounding neighboring communities.

As part of the application process, the City is required to demonstrate its anticipated longterm control of the site. The Navy has agreed to provide the City with a letter of intent for conveyance of the Navy Fields to the City and that the City will continue to use the land for recreational community use.

The City is applying for the maximum award amount of $500,000 for design efforts of the Lomita Sports complex. These efforts may include and are not limited to the following activities:
 Consultant Project Initiation & Coordination
 Hazardous Materials Testing
 Community Outreach Efforts
 Conceptual Design Development
 City Council Presentation
 Preparation of Bid Ready Plans, Specifications & Engineer’s Estimates  CEQA and Environmental Compliance
The deadline to submit the grant is October 30, 2025, and the City’s grant consultants, Blais and Associates Grant Services (B&A), are assisting with the grant preparation and submittal process. Awards are expected to be announced in March 2026 and if the City of Lomita is awarded the grant the performance period is up to two years to complete the design and planning phases for the Lomita Sports Complex. Staff in partnership with B&A will continue to actively monitor and pursue additional grant opportunities that will assist with all stages of the project.

FISCAL IMPACT
If awarded, the City of Lomita could receive up to $500,000. All potential funds awarded by this grant will be utilized strictly for the planning and design efforts of the Lomita Sports Complex.

The City engaged with B&A, under an existing agreement not to exceed $50,000, to professionally prepare and submit the grant application in collaboration with City staff.

The $9,063 expense for this grant application was charged against this agreement.
