9.B. Waive further reading and adopt Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA 25-04), an Ordinance implementing Measure JJ by amending the Monterey Park Municipal Code ("MPMC") governing permissible land uses and site development plans in the Saturn Park Innovation/ Technology Zone.

Type of Action: Legislative
Decision-Making Body: Pursuant to MPMC § 2.56.020(c), the City Council is the City’s Planning Agency for this matter. In considering the recommended actions, the City Council acts in its discretionary legislative capacity (formulating rules that apply to all future cases). For the proposed ZCA, the City Council must make findings pursuant to MPMC § 21.38.050:
• That the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan;
• That the proposed amendment will not adversely affect surrounding properties; and
• That the proposed amendment promotes public health, safety, and general welfare and serves the goals and purposes of the zoning regulations within the MPMC.

These findings are included in the attached Ordinance (Attachment 1 to the September 3, 2025 staff report). Accordingly, a Notice of Determination has been prepared for the proposed Ordinance (Attachment 2 to the September 3, 2025 staff report).

On October 2, 2024, the City Council considered the Saturn Park Advisory Review Committee’s (“SPARC”) recommendations regarding potential future land uses within

the Saturn Park Innovation/Technology Zone (“SPITZ”) [1] and directed the City Manager and City Attorney to draft zoning regulations to expand allowable uses in the area. Updating the MPMC to include these additional land uses serves the public interest and implements Measure JJ (which ratified the General Plan’s Land Use and Urban Design Element), SPARC’s recommendations, and City Council direction. This Ordinance would implement the SPITZ.

[1] The SPITZ is codified in MPMC Chapter 21.14

The Ordinance was introduced and received first reading at the September 3, 2025 City Council meeting. Second reading and adoption of this Ordinance is recommended. If adopted, the ordinance will take effect in 30 days.

City Council Staff Report

Date: October 15, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.B.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Diana Garcia, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Approval of agreement with CivicPlus, LLC

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

Executive Summary:

The City Manager’s Office is responsible for providing residents, businesses, and the public with services that boost public communication and civic engagement. To fulfill this need, the City Manager’s Office utilizes CivicPlus, LLC to provide these services through its various platforms. It is recommended that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with CivicPlus, LLC in a form approved by the City Attorney.

Background:

The City uses numerous platforms offered by CivicPlus, LLC. The platform includes the City’s website, a chatbot feature within the City’s website, NextRequest for public records requests, ArchiveSocial for archiving social media content, and most recently the agenda management software. With recent changes within CivicPlus, NextRequest and ArchiveSocial, which were once subsidiaries of CivicPlus, are now all under CivicPlus, LLC. The City Manager’s Office would like to consolidate the services into one agreement for management of these services.

The cost for current services under CivicPlus, LLC is $42,564.30. Staff is asking Council to approve an annual not to exceed amount of $60,000 to account for any potential cost increases or added services.

The following is a brief description of all the services offered under CivicPlus:

City Website and Chatbot

Page 30 of 258 ends

The City Council approved the agreement with CivicPlus for the complete redesign of the City’s website at its March 20, 2013 meeting. The initial cost for the redesign, including four years of services, was approximately $58,341. The City continues to use CivicPlus as its website host at an annual cost of $8,000.

With the advancement in technology and the City’s desire to offer more robust services to the community, the City Manager’s Office deployed a chatbot feature within the City’s website.

This feature provides the public to ask questions with instant responses and personalized interactions 24/7. The cost for this service is $9,049.39 annually.

ArchiveSocial
Social media has become the standard form of communication for most organizations, including Monterey Park. To comply with the City’s records retention schedule that was approved by the City Council at its November 2, 2011 meeting and biennial thereafter, the City uses the services of ArchiveSocial. This platform is used by the City Clerk’s Office to manage, archive, and retrieve all social media posts. The cost for this service is $5,781.51 annually.

NextRequest
The City receives over 500 public record requests annually. The City Clerk’s Office used to provide this service via a paper form completed by the requester. To streamline this service for both the public and staff, the City Clerk’s Office found that NextRequest offered features that most suited the City’s needs and provided an easy-to-use platform for the public. The cost for this service is $11,327.40 annually.

CivicClerk – Agenda Management Software
Recently, the City Manager’s Office added the services of an agenda management system.

This system assists staff with drafting, routing and creating agenda packets for City Council, Commission and Board meetings. The City Council approved this system along with funding at its September 18, 2024 meeting. The initial startup cost was $12,908.60 with an annually reoccurring cost of $8,406.00.

CivicPlus – Add-on services
These products can include but are not limited to video streaming services, additional add-on services to the above-mentioned platforms, which can include additional use of data storage, features and functions to enhance existing services, and new product launches that work in conjunction with existing platforms. Funding for add-on services is budgeted annually in the City Manager’s Office’s budget. No additional appropriation of funding is needed at this time.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The agreement with CivicPlus, LLC meets the strategic plan goals of expanding access to community resources and services and enhancing public communication and civic engagement to reach all members of the community.

Fiscal Impact:

Contract costs are budgeted annually by the Department.

City Council Staff Report

Date: October 15, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.C.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Timothy Campen , Assistant City Attorney
Subject: Acceptance of Real Property located at 1688 W. Garvey Ave., CA, as partial satisfaction of debt owed to City, and payment of related fees

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

2. Authorizing payment of $73,545.31 in trustee sales agent fees to take title of that real property; and

3. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Executive Summary:

The City expended total abatement cost of approximately $15,884,091 to stabilize a dangerous hillside on property owned by CII located at 1688 West Garvey Avenue (“GAP Property”). A more complete background may be reviewed online (https://www.montereypark.ca.gov/1409/1688-West-Garvey-Avenue).

As the City Council is aware, the GAP Property was one of two pieces of property that provided security to insure CII completed abating nuisances on the GAP Property. The other real property, located in South El Monte, was recently put up for sale by nonjudical foreclosure auction for $2million as partial recovery of the City’s costs, title to which transferred to the City after it failed to sell at auction.

Page 33 of 258 ends

During the City’s abatement of the GAP Property, the City Council liened that property in the amount of $15,884,091. CII failed to pay this debt. As a result, the City authorized a nonjudicial foreclosure of the GAP Property; it was offered for sale on October 2, 2025. There were no bidders. Consequently, title to the GAP Property will revert to the City upon the City Council taking the recommended action.

S.B.S. Trust Deed Network served as the City’s agent handling all aspects of foreclosure on the Property. Its fees and costs, totaling $73,545.31 (approximately 1.2% of the appraised value of the Property), must be paid to S.B.S. Trust Deed Network as the final step for title of the Property to be transferred to the City. A copy of S.B.S. Trust Deed Network’s invoice is attached as Exhibit A.

Background:

The GAP Property was appraised at $6,400,000 in 2022. A combination of approximately $120,211.18 in unpaid property taxes to the County combined with the lien on the GAP Property (less the $2,000,000 value of the S. El Monte property which the City foreclosed on in April 2025) brought the total sale amount at auction for this Property to $14,004,301.97.1

Pursuant to Government Code § 27281, the City must formally consent to receipt of the Property. This item is not intended to – and does not – consider the future use of the GAP Property. That will be a matter for a future meeting agenda.

1 Acceptance of title to the Property only satisfies approximately $6,400,000 of the remaining $13,884,090.79 in nuisance abatement costs. Center Int’l Investments LLC remains liable for the balance of approximately $7,484,090.79, which the City Attorney is exploring viable recovery options.

Strategic Plan Goal:

N/A

Fiscal Impact:

There will be an initial expenditure of $73,545.31 in trustee sales agent fees and costs. Then the City will take title of the Property, which was appraised in 2022 as having a value of approximately $6,400,000.

RESOLUTION NO.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF $73,545.31 TO
ACQUIRE TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1688
W. GARVERY AVE., MONTEREY PARK, CA 91733, APN 5254-002-031,

AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO TAKE ALL

ACTIONS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE THE TRANSFER OF TITLE

BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park as follows:

SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. An undeveloped parcel located at 1688 W. Garvey Avenue in the City of Monterey Park, APN 5254-002-031, (“1688 W. Garvey” or the “Property”) has a long history of slope failure presenting a threat to public health and safety. The City initiated enforcement efforts against the property owner, Center Int’l Investments, LLC (“CII”), to address these issues in 2013, which culminated in the City Attorney, on behalf of the People of the State of California, filing a civil abatement lawsuit against CII in 2015. That matter resolved in 2017 when the City and CII entered into a settlement agreement that required, among other things, CII to construct long-term slope stabilization measures (the “Settlement”).

B. The Settlement was amended in 2019 to include, among other things, CII agreeing to execute a deed of trust to convey title to the Property for the purpose of the City recouping, at least in part, costs related to abatement of the unstable slope at 1688 W. Garvey in the event CII failed to perform under the terms of the Settlement.

C. On June 16, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 12255 issuing an emergency declaration authorizing abatement to address an imminent threat to public health and safety due to the unstable hillside at 1688 W. Garvey. CII breached the Settlement by not timely stabilizing the slope at 1688 W. Garvey, and the City Council authorized direct abatement at CII’s expense pursuant to the terms of the Settlement. The City’s abatement efforts commenced in early 2022. Extensive retaining wall systems and other measures were completed in 2023 at a cost of approximately $15,884,090.79.

D. In 2023, pursuant to the terms of the amended Settlement, the City Attorney’s Office initiated a non-judicial foreclosure sale of the Property to recoup a portion of the City’s abatement costs. The sale was postponed by court order pending the outcome of litigation by CII against the City related to the City’s abatement efforts. That case was dismissed in late November 2024, resulting in the City re- initiating foreclosure sale of the Property.

E. On October 2, 2025, a trustee foreclosure auction was held for the sale of the Property, which was appraised at $6,400,00 in 2022. The City listed the Property

Page 41 of 258 ends

at auction with a reserve of $14,004,301.97 to cover the balance of $13,884,090.79 in abatement costs plus $120,211.18 in unpaid property taxes to the County of Los Angeles. However, the Property did not sell. By operation of law, title to the Property now transfers to the City free and clear of any encumbrances.

F. S.B.S. Trust Deed Network acted as the City’s trustee sales agent, and accumulated fees and costs handling the specialized procedures for foreclosure sale in the amount of $73,545.31. This represents approximately 1.2% of the appraised value of the Property and must be paid before title is transferred to the City.

G. The City Council finds that it is in the interest of the City to accept title of the Property in furtherance recouping the City’s costs of abating the unstable hillside at 1688 W. Garvey Ave.

H. This Resolution is adopted based upon the entirety of the administrative record including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Assistant City Attorney.

SECTION 2: Action. The City Council authorizes the City Manager, or designee:

1. To issue payment in the amount of $73,545.31 to S.B.S. Trust Deed Network in satisfaction of trustee sales agent services provided regarding foreclosure of the Property (invoice for which is attached to the Staff Report as Exhibit A); and

2. Take all action necessary to effectuate the conveyance of legal title to the real property commonly known as 1688 W. Garvey Ave. Monterey Park, California, APN 5254-002-031, and legally described below, including executing a certificate of acceptance pursuant to Government Code section 27281 on the City’s behalf (attached to the Staff Report as Exhibit B).

SECTION 3: Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of acceptance of the Property is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating this action that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the acceptance of the Property will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of this action is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of certain aspects of the Property than cannot be known until after the City takes legal possession of it. In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 4: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 5: Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 6: Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its Application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

SECTION 7: Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature

SECTION 8: Recordation. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to sign this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, may attest thereto.

SECTION 9: Effective Date. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded. .

City Council Staff Report

Date: October 15, 2025
Agenda Item Number: 9.D.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Vision Zero Action Plan

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

2. Authorizing the Director of Public Works to approve Change orders and contingency up to $95,714 (10%) of the contract amount, for a total project cost of $1,052,854; and

3. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

Executive Summary:

The City was awarded $984,000 funding through the FY 2022 Safe Streets 4 All (“SS4A”) Federal grant and has entered into a pass-through agreement with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LACMTA”), Agreement No. 9200000000SS4A04 on 12/7/2023 and FIS No. 700512. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-R75, adopting a Vision Zero Policy, a Citywide guiding principle for transportation planning, the design of streets and sidewalks and the maintenance of the public right of way, and prioritize the development of safe roadways and the highest level of safety for all road users through new policies, systems and infrastructure improvements for pedestrian, bicyclists and motorists. The Public Works Director (“Director”) was directed to identify and secure grant funding to implement the Vision Zero Action Plan. The City developed a Local Road Safety Plan and incorporated many of its recommended actions. On May 18, 2022, the City adopted a Complete Street Policy in accordance with California law to help protect public health and safety, which is a requirement of LACMTA.

The City released a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) and received five proposals for the preparation of Vision Zero Action Plan. Following an extensive selection process that included interviews of the top two firms, the Director selected Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. as the most qualified consultant for this work. Kimley-Horn has been involved in many design projects in the City, including the development of the City’s Local Road Safety Plan, and most recently

Page 45 of 258 ends

the Monterey Pass Complete Street. The Director has determined that Kimley Horn is the most suitable candidate for the City’s award. The Director requests City Council approval to enter into an agreement with Kimley Horn in an amount not to exceed $957,140, for the preparation of Action Plan (the “Contract”).

Background:

The City was awarded $984,000 funding through the SS4A Federal grant and has entered into a pass-through agreement with LACMTA, Agreement No. 9200000000SS4A04 on 12/7/2023 and FIS No. 700512.

The City began identifying safety priorities with the creation of the Local Roadway Safety Plan in 2022, which analyzed collision trends and identified a toolbox of potential improvements to reduce injuries and fatalities on City roadways. As part of that effort, the City adopted a Vision Zero resolution in 2022. The intent of the resolution was to complete a Vision Zero Action Plan.

The Vision Zero Action Plan (the “Plan”) will identify priorities and strategies to help achieve its goal of zero traffic fatalities and severe injuries.

The Plan will be centered on stakeholder and community engagement, including agency staff, elected and community leaders, and the general public. The Plan will outline actionable strategies and highlight policy and design solutions. Engagement strategies will be developed as part of this Plan to emphasize participation in disadvantaged communities. The Plan will also provide a special focus on strategies for Safe Routes to School, Active Transportation, and Complete Streets.

• The Safe Routes to School component will bring physical, educational, and behavioral safety improvements to neighborhood streets near 12 City schools. The Plan will implement safety education in school communities to create a culture of safety amongst the city's youngest residents.

• The Active Transportation component will provide a set of tools and strategies to make the streets more inviting, safe, and comfortable for pedestrians and cyclists. Strategies will be prioritized for those implementable in the short-term and those that are part of a long-term vision.

• The Complete Streets component will analyze multimodal connectivity and establish new guidelines and performance measures to identify barriers to equitable accessibility and mobility that can be addressed by creating more shared use corridors. The Plan will also aim to ensure complete streets are incorporated into the City's roadway design guidelines and maintenance processes. Additionally, it will improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and implementation focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, personal conveyance and micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators.

Page 46 of 258 ends

The Plan will compile the findings and recommendations of the previous tasks into a unified safety vision for the City, inclusive of all the required elements included in the Safe Streets for All Program.

The City released a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) and received five proposals for the preparation of the Vision Zero Action Plan. The City received proposals from the following consultants:
• Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
• Alta Planning + Design, Inc.
• Toole Design
• CR Associates
• TKJM

Following an extensive evaluation process that included interviews and presentations by the top two firms, the Director selected Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. as the most qualified consultant for this work. Kimley-Horn has extensive safety planning experience in Monterey Park and beyond, with an excellent team of safety specialists dedicated to the project.

LACMTA reviewed Kimley-Horn’s proposal and provided the City with approval regarding meeting the grant’s DBE requirements. In addition, LACMTA requested that they review the final agreement before approval to ensure that all federal requirements are included. Please note that as of October 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Interim Final Rule pauses all race- and gender-conscious DBE measures, and any established DBE goal will not be enforced or counted at this time but may be reinstated once the California Unified Certification Program completes its firm re-evaluation and additional federal guidance is provided.

It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Kimley-Horn in an amount not to exceed $957,140, for the preparation of the Plan.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This Project meets the City’s goal to maintain, build and modernize infrastructure and facilities to support the current and future needs of our City and community as it aims to improve public safety for public transportation, pedestrian and bicyclist mobility.

Fiscal Impact:

The Contract cost will not exceed $1,052,854. The Contract funds are budgeted as part of Capital Improvement Project (“CIP”) No. 96044. The City will receive $984,000 in grant funding through the SS4A federal fund, and is required to have $246,000 matching fund budgeted for a total budget of $1,230,000.

1. COVER LETTER
August 21, 2025
Ziad Mazboudi, PE, CIP Manager
City of Monterey Park
320 W Newark Avenue
Monterey Park, CA 91754
RE: Proposal for Monterey Park Vision Zero Action Plan, CIP 96044 Dear Mr. Mazboudi and Members of the Selection Committee:

The City of Monterey Park (City) is looking for a consultant to partner with to develop a Vision Zero (VZ) Action Plan that will establish strategies to help reach their goal of zero fatalities and severe injuries within Monterey Park. This will most successfully be achieved by working with a consultant who has a deep bench of VZ and other safety action plan experience, is extremely familiar with Monterey Park, and specializes in stakeholder and community engagement to more successfully secure community buy-in and enthusiasm for the project. The Kimley-Horn team offers Monterey Park all of these benefits and more, making us the perfect partner to help deliver the safety solutions your community deserves.

Extensive Safety Planning Experience in Monterey Park and Beyond. Kimley-Horn has prepared Vision Zero and Local Road Safety Plans (LRSPs) for over 75 agencies across California and 150 nationwide, including the LRSP in Monterey Park. In addition to the LRSP , Kimley-Horn has led the Monterey Parks Plans, Specification, and Estimates (PS&E) for Monterey Pass Road Complete Streets Project, Design Engineering Services for Various Signalized Intersections Along Garfield Avenue, Potrero Grande Intersection Improvements, and contributed to statewide efforts such as California’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) for the 2020–2024 and 2025–2029 cycles. We bring specialized expertise in Safe System Approach strategies, predictive safety methodologies, and equity-driven engagement. Recently, we helped assess the City of Los Angeles Vision Zero Program, identifying implementation barriers and actionable next steps. We will apply these insights to develop a data-driven, community-informed, and grant-ready Action Plan for the City.

A Trusted Team of Safety Specialists. Leading this project will be Jean Fares, PE, who has served as project manager on over 30 safety and multimodal plan projects throughout California, including the City of Monterey Park’s LRSP and Monterey Pass Road Complete Streets PS&E Project, making him thoroughly aware of the multimodal safety solutions your City is interested in. Supporting Jean is a team of nationally recognized safety professionals, including principal-in-charge Mike Colety, PE, PTOE, RSP2BI and quality control/ quality assurance (QC/QA) manager Jason Melchor, PE. Mike and Jason recently served as a project principal and the project manager, respectively, on the City of Goleta Vision Zero Strategy Project. Mike is a leader in transportation safety, having served as the project manager for the California SHSP (2020– 2024 and 2025–2029 cycles) and Chair for the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) Towards Zero Deaths subcommittee. Jason has successfully managed or performed quality control for similar Vision Zero efforts for cities across California, having worked on more than 30 safety pursuits in Southern California alone. Serving under Jean, Mike, and Jason is a team of safety and community engagement professionals that have worked together on several safety projects throughout California making us uniquely positioned to guide the City’s Vision Zero Action Plan to success.

A Tailored Approach and Commitment to Your City’s Needs. As mentioned previously, we have provided services on several projects within Monterey Park, and have formed strong relationships with your community as a result. We understand how important public and stakeholder engagement is to this project, which is why we have brought the best and brightest engagement professionals, who specialize in outreach for traffic safety, onto this project. Our engagement and outreach task lead, Tatiana Lundstrom, PE, RSP1, has served as the engagement, stakeholder, and outreach lead on several traffic safety projects throughout California, including the City of Santa Clara Vision Zero project and Caltrans Statewide Vulnerable Road Users Safety Assessment. Tatiana will be supported by Maya Bouchet, AICP, and our subconsultant, Katie Lemmon of Lemmon Planning (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise [DBE]). Maya served as the community outreach lead for the Monterey Park Monterey Pass Road Complete Streets Project and is therefore familiar with the concerns the City faces around multimodal safety. Katie worked with Darryl and the rest of our team on the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Safe Streets Data Sharing, and Collaboration Policy and Action Plan project as the internal agency coordination and funding lead. Together, our outreach and engagement leads will bridge the gap between the City, stakeholders, and community members to create consensus on what the Monterey Park Vision Zero Action Plan will look like and how it will be implemented.

2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kimley-Horn understands that Vision Zero requires a holistic approach that involves a wide array of strategies and actions. The development of a Vision Zero Action Plan is just one component of an ongoing program that will involve infrastructure, programs, policies, and procedures throughout the City in an evolving package that is responsive to traffic safety challenges as they arise and are addressed. Monterey Park has already made significant strides in its pursuit of zero traffic deaths, and this plan and associated activities will build on that progress, doubling down on what has been working, and shifting away from strategies that have not been as effective as anticipated. The existing Monterey Park LRSP has already identified key safety needs in the City and has led to several subsequent focused studies, grant awards, and implementation projects.

Kimley-Horn has been a trusted partner to the City for over a decade. Our safety project experience, local knowledge and experience with the City, and the quality of our team will help your City achieve your Vision Zero goals. Our team is well-prepared to study Monterey Park’s roadways for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, pedestrian-bicycle-traffic conflicts, a vision zero strategy, a safe roads to school (SRTS) strategy, develop a pedestrian and bicycle action plan, provide grant support, and more. Below, we address each evaluation criterion listed in the Request for Proposal (RFP) and highlight key aspects of our proposal and where to find the supporting information.

of the Proposer related to the
services described in this RFP .
(Listing of similar work done
within the last 5 years)
We understand that the City is committed to an eventual goal of zero roadway fatalities, and our team has experience helping other agencies with similar efforts. Two noteworthy projects include the City of Santa Clara’s Vision Zero Plan, in which Kimley-Horn is aiding in developing a Vision Zero Plan through community engagement, crash data analysis, and the creation of a comprehensive set of safety initiatives; and the Transportation Agency of Monterey County’s (TAMC’s) Regional Vision Zero Action Plan, in which Kimley-Horn is developing a regional safety action plan to reduce traffic injuries through detailed analyses and community engagement. This project addresses local and regional agency safety performance data. We have also completed a number of relevant projects for the City, including the City of Monterey Park’s LRSP and Monterey Pass Road Complete Streets Project, and we will apply lessons learned from these projects of various size/complexity from the last five years to help prepare this plan to your standards.

Sections 4 and 5
Proposer’s understanding of
the project and knowledge of
subject matter and expertise
and approach.

We understand the City knows it’s unjust for children, students, and parents to be injured or killed on City roads. We also understand that a multifaceted approach is needed to garner community support, business support, and participation to balance the needs between those that want to preserve roadway for vehicles and freight and those that would like to see calmer, slower streets. As such, the team is engaging the community early to garner input for transportation safety solutions and will analyze data, policies, and programs to create three distinct plans that will culminate in a community-driven Monterey Park Vision Zero Safety Action Plan that includes an Active Transportation Plan, Safety Routes to School Plan, and Complete Streets Plan aimed at eliminating deaths along city roads.

3. SCOPE OF SERVICES/METHODOLOGY
Approach and Methodology
The Kimley-Horn team has customized an approach for the City of Monterey Park’s Vision Zero Action Plan that is based on the prior safety needs and findings from our public engagement programs conducted to date. Through this work, we know that engaging early with organizations such as ActiveSGV will help garner community participation and support as well as project advocacy for solutions that will enhance transportation safety. We also understand that the business community in Monterey Park has a critical voice, and working through the local Chamber of Commerce and other business associations will help get the positive messages we are trying to convey out to the community. Additionally, several members of our staff grew up and went to school in Monterey Park, and have a vested interest in this plan and how it can effect their families and friends. We understand the tensions in the City between those that want to preserve roadway capacity for vehicles and freight, and those that would like to see calmer, slower streets that are more friendly to walkers and cyclists, and that have more options for transit and shared rides.

As we know from conducting the Local Road Safety Plan, Atlantic Boulevard and Garfield Avenue have the highest crash intersections in the, while Monterey Pass Road is a significant hot spot for mid-block and driveway related crashes. The plan includes a toolbox with a broad array of systemic improvements that would reduce serious injury and fatal crashes citywide. The Vision Zero Action Plan will build on this work by focusing on vulnerable road users, particularly when walking and biking to school as well as programmatic and policy-oriented solutions to make the City safer for all roadway users. An in depth awareness campaign will be the backbone of the outreach process to begin the process of developing a safer culture of driving locally, and for commuters passing through the City on a routine basis.

As shown below, the Avenida Ceasar Chavez/Riggin Street/Protrero Grande Drive corridor and the Hellman Avenue corridor are the dominant east/west cycling routes through the city, while the north/south traffic is more focused on Garfield Avenue, Alhambra Avenue, and Grandridge Avenue. Pedestrian activity, however, is much more concentrated near the East Los Angeles College and South Atlantic Avenue areas, and along Garvey Avenue.

This awareness will help us target efforts as part of the safe routes to school and active transportation plans to enhance conditions to encourage more walking and cycling in other parts of the City and to make improvements to those high demand corridors as appropriate.

The chart to the right shows that the City of Monterey Park has been successful in reducing traffic injuries according to the latest data available from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).

Other than 2022 immediately post Covid-19, the City has been enjoying a downward trend in both the number of
injuries locally, and in comparison, with its peer cities across the state. This plan will provide the opportunity to further that reduction.

A scan of more recent data shows that crash patterns in the City have not changed dramatically since completion of the LRSP . We do note that Garvey Avenue seems to have had a slightly higher proportion of crashes since the last analysis, but overall the most prominent intersections are the same.

The scope beginning on the following page highlights how our team will update the analysis and further define
solutions for roadway projects as well as policies and
programs. Our experience in the City has given us a great deal of insight into who should be at the table as we begin the process of refining projects and developing an
implementation program that will avoid significant further evaluation to prioritize and pursue funding. Our project schedule (provided at the end of this section) was developed to factor in post-planning support for additional public awareness activities and implementation guidance as the City forms its process for monitoring and
implementing projects.

Lessons Learned from Previous Work in Monterey Park
Safety Data Evaluations In the last round of safety planning for the City of Monterey Park, we learned that a lot of crash activity occurs on boundary roadways such as Garvey Avenue and Hellman Avenue. Crash data specifically coded to Monterey Park gives an incomplete picture of what is going on in those areas. Our team will acquire crash records for the neighboring jurisdictions as well to make sure we have complete information for border streets and intersections.

Public Engagement The City has a diverse population and many residents are unwilling or unable to attend workshops that are specific to a given project. Through the last LRSP and the Monterey Pass Road projects, we have learned that we get better response rates by attending existing events where people are going anyway, through online hybrid engagment activities, and most particularly, direct engagement with the business community. Our approach for this plan will incorporate these lessons to give the plan a solid foundation of local support that can then be referenced and leveraged for implementation decision making and funding.

Constrained Roadway
System
Parts of the City have constrained roadways that serve muliple uses and have few alternative routes. Concepts and project recommendations must be mindful of those constraints so an improvement isn’t benefiting one group of users and the expense of another without careful study. Several areas have very narrow streets as well, particularly in hill areas. Solutions that make it safer for different users to share space will often be more feasible that full separation in those areas.

Public Support Residents and businesses in Monterey Park are likely to engage with City Council and staff directly rather than with the project team if engagment isn’t sufficiently robust, leading to complaints and resistance to change. The plan must include a mixture of educational outreach and two-way information sharing to build public trust and support to have an implementable plan in the end.

Scope of Work
For this project, the Kimley-Horn team will create three distinct plans that will culminate in the Monterey Park Vision Zero Action Plan.

The Monterey Park Vision Zero Action Plan (the Safety Plan) will improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and implementation focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, personal conveyance and micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators. The Safety Plan’s three distinct plans include:

1. Safe Routes to School Plan (SRTS) that will focus on physical, educational, and behavioral safety improvements to neighborhood streets near twelve (12) City schools. The Safety Plan will implement safety education in school communities to create a culture of safety amongst the City’s youngest residents.

2. Active Transportation Plan (ATP) will develop a set of tools and strategies to make the streets more inviting, safe, and comfortable for pedestrians and cyclists. The ATP will prioritize strategies for those implementable in the short-term and those that are part of a long-term vision.

3. Complete Streets Plan (CSP) that will analyze multimodal connectivity and establish new guidelines and performance measures to identify barriers to equitable accessibility and mobility that can be addressed by creating more shared use corridors. The CSP will also aim to make certain complete streets are incorporated into the City’s roadway design guidelines and maintenance processes.

Jean Fares, PE will serve as the dedicated project manager for this project. Jean has more than 30 years of transportation experience and has successfully managed large, multifaceted, dynamic projects that improve equitable mobility and quality of life. Darryl dePencier, AICP , GISP , RSP2B will serve as the deputy project manager and will coordinate planning activities across project tasks to develop a unified Plan with complementary sections for each task that do not overlap or conflict in ways that will impede implementation or prioritization. Ultimately, the Safety Plan aims to improve roadway safety by developing a comprehensive safety action plan based on a Safe System Approach and implementing projects and strategies that significantly reduce or eliminate transportation-related fatalities and serious injury accidents and is part of the federal and state efforts toward an ambitious long-term goal of reaching zero roadway fatalities.

Task 1: Program Management
Task 1.1 Progress Meetings
Project Kick-Off
Upon receipt of Notice to Proceed (NTP), Kimley-Horn will coordinate a project kick-off meeting with City staff to discuss the Plan’s goals, project schedule, data needs, and stakeholder, and community engagement strategies. Some of the discussion will focus on administrative tasks including communication protocols, preferred progress reporting, meeting frequency, scheduling, and key milestones delivery throughout the project.

Kimley-Horn will prepare and submit the draft meeting agenda prior to the project kick-off meeting for City review. This meeting agenda will include a data request list for review and discussion during the project kick-off meeting. The agenda will also include a preliminary list of stakeholders the team should engage in as part of the engagement process. The team anticipates the meeting will take approximately 1.5 hours.

Following the project kick-off meeting, a summary of the meeting notes with key action items will be prepared and distributed by Kimley-Horn.

Deliverables
 Meeting Agenda and Minutes
 Preliminary List of Stakeholders for Engagement
 Data Request List
Project Team Meetings
Kimley-Horn will hold monthly project meetings with City staff to provide updates on the status of the project and key deliverables, and to strategize for future states of the project. The team will prepare meeting agendas prior to each meeting and distribute meeting minutes to attendees in a timely manner following each meeting. The team will maintain a record of action items, key milestones as well as conversations and decisions made throughout the project. The progress meetings will cover each component of the project, including:

Task 1.2 Vision Zero Management
Project Management Plan
The Kimley-Horn team will develop a project management plan (PMP) for progressing each component project that runs complimentary to other projects, minimizing overlapping tasks and efforts, and minimizing impedance or prioritization of tasks on concurrent projects. The management plan will provide the consultant team with a foundation to actively coordinate planning activities across each of the project tasks.

The team will maintain a progress tracker of task status for each component project. The consultant team will also maintain records of project meetings, discussions, and decisions relevant to each task.

Furthermore, the team will establish and host a shared project folder for file sharing and file transfer purposes. We will create accounts for City staff access. The shared project folder will be maintained for the duration of the project and will store existing data gathered, project deliverables, stakeholder and community outreach materials, Vision Zero Task Force meeting material, SRTS, ATP , CSP , and other relevant reference documents.

Deliverables
 Project Management Plan
Schedule
As part of the overall Vsion Zero management, Kimley-Horn will develop a schedule with key tasks, including milestone timeframes for primary deliverables. The Kimley-Horn team anticipates a Project Kick-off start in October 2025 and proposes a project completion date of late March 2026. The project team will hold the month of April as contingency schedule. The team also proposes conducting ongoing public engagement and campaigning after April 2026 until September 2026 to continue to promote the vision zero project and disseminate information to create a safer Monterey Park community for all.

Kimley-Horn will share the live-schedule with the City. We will use this schedule to track our progress and provide the City with ongoing schedule-related updates. If any schedule-related changes are needed, the team will submit appropriate corrective actions and communicate it to the City. Furthermore, Kimley-Horn will provide access to our internal project management tool system, Asana.

Deliverables
 Updated (live) Project Schedule and Asana format organized by the Plan with milestone deliverables identified Progress Reporting and Invoicing
Kimley-Horn will provide a written progress report each month with monthly invoices throughout the duration of the project. The progress reports serve as an additional tool to keep orderly progress on upcoming tasks and to track project deliverables and budget. The progress reports will include an overview of work completed for each task, major challenges encountered during the reporting period, and percentage completed for each task during the reporting period. All progress reports and invoices will be aligned with the City of Monterey Park procedures and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant agreement requirements. Kimley-Horn will first share a template of the progress report prior to submitting invoices to help streamline the reporting and invoices procedure.

File Management/Project Close-Out Files
During the Project Kick-off meeting, Kimley-Horn will discuss communication protocols, including the City’s preference for file management.

After project completion, Kimley-Horn will provide an electronic set of project deliverables to the City organized by task and include a tracker with a table of contents to help locate a specific deliverable as needed. The City can then use geographic information system (GIS) files, reports, etc. as they see fit. Kimley-Horn will maintain copies of the deliverables for at least five (5) years from the project end date should materials be lost or any clarifications be needed in the future.

Deliverables
 Microsoft Sharepoint Folder
 Project Close-out Files
Project Website
To help streamline the engagement and deliverables for all three distinct plans under the Monterey Park Vision Zero Safety Action Plan, Kimley-Horn proposes setting up a publicly accessible project website using WIX or a similar web builder engine at the onset of this project to help with engagement down the line. The website will help keep the public engaged about the SRTS Plan, ATP , and CSP , specifically about project progress, upcoming meetings, and will host PublicCoordinate, an online an in-house public engagement platform that allows collection of ongoing feedback about the project. PublicCoordinate hosts an online interactive map which can be available in English, Spanish, and Mandarin and allows users to leave location specific comments about the City. Further, PublicCoordinate is the best platform to allow us to host an online survey to see real-time, iterative feedback from Monterey Park residents.

Finally, the project website will also allow us to extend the public workshops for those that cannot attend in-person or prefer to engage in a virtual setting. The website will include a calendar of events, a forum to submit feedback, and links to public ready documents and presentations. The site will also include an interactive map that community members can use to provide suggestions and comments.

Deliverables
 Project Website
Task 2: Vision Zero Baselining
Task 2.1 - Document Review
Kimley-Horn will conduct a literature review of City plans, projects, policies, programs, standards, and other applicable existing or in-progress planning documents at the time of project initiation. The purpose of this review will be to identify programs, policies, and programmed projects at the local, regional, and state level that have safety implications. For instance, the team will review the City’s General Plan and relevant specific plans, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan, and the SHSP relevant to the Vision Zero program. The team will prioritize the level of relevance of each document listed below and outline how each document impacts the Vision Zero Plan. Some of the plans will include:

Additionally, the team will identify key opportunity areas to facilitate safety improvements in the various Safety Es – engineering, enforcement, education, encouragement, and emergency response. This effort includes identification of programs and policies within the City that can be updated to better align with current best practices and would likely support safer roads and driving behavior consistent with the SS4A Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) requirements.

Based on the community engagement (Task 3.3, Task 4.2, and Task 5,2) and safety analysis (Task 3.2), Kimley-Horn will identify recommended policy and process changes that should be considered as actions in development of the Vision Zero Action Plan. These recommended changes will include engineering considerations, safety enforcement, education and outreach efforts, emergency response, process improvements, and additional consideration. These recommendations will conform to guidelines of the Safe Systems Approach adopted as part of US Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) National Roadway Safety Strategy. The FHWA Primer on Safer System Approach for Pedestrians and Bicyclists tool will be used for benchmarking assessment.

Kimley-Horn will support the City and Vision Zero Task Force (see Task 6.3) in developing a Vision Zero policy that considers a target date consistent with the California SHSP’s goal to achieve zero traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2050.

Findings from this task will be presented in a benchmarking technical memorandum to summarize literature review and document recommended program and policy updates to better align with current Vision Zero and transportation safety best practices.

Deliverables
 Literature Review
 Matrix of how each aligns with the ATP
Task 2.2 - Data Collection
As part of this task, the team will create a Data Collection Plan that details how and when the team will collect the data needed to accurately, reliably, and efficiently produce analyses for the three distinct plans. The data collection plan will include information on the team plans to collect intersection counts, ‘big data’ tool outputs, speed surveys. average daily traffic counts, available roadway data (i.e., street names, road classification, lanes, traffic control), land use, demographic data, and recent or historical traffic counts (i.e., average daily traffic [ADT], intersection turning movement counts, bike and pedestrian counts). The plan will also discuss, how in conjunction with the City, the team plans to conduct a field review to gain an understanding of the City’s roadway network and collect various roadway characteristics including roadway classification, types of users, travel patterns, roadway width, speed (posted and actual), traffic volumes, curves, and traffic control types. The team will use this data to establish a baseline roadway information database to help associate factors with crash characteristics.

As part of the data collection plan, Kimley-Horn will collect 2019 -2024 collision data from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) to update data from the LRSP . This data will be utilized to develop the SS4A Plan. The last five years of crash data will be gathered to allow insight into trends and to better mitigate the year-over-year fluctuation caused by natural randomness in collision activity. Kimley-Horn’s

approach is to look at all collision severity levels, providing a richer dataset to review, allowing the team to determine factors where collision severity levels are high relative to overall collision numbers. For priority corridors with frequent collisions, Kimley-Horn, along with the City staff and selected stakeholders, will conduct site visits at up to five (5) priority locations (see Task 5.3) to assess and analyze existing conditions. Findings of this task will be summarized in a brief technical memorandum documenting data collected, sources, and additional/ supplemental data needed.

Deliverables
 Data Collection Schedule
 Data Review Technical Memorandum
Task 2.3 - Collision and Roadway Data Analysis
Collision Analysis
Kimley-Horn will develop a comprehensive collision safety analysis methodology. Our approach to safety analysis includes statistical network screening using Highway Safety Manual (HSM) methods. These methods are selected to identify locations with higher-than-expected collision activity that can be reviewed to identify roadway and intersection characteristics with higher risk. These methods also review a variety of collision characteristics to identify locations where specific types of collisions are over-represented. This approach helps to diagnose safety factors that are leading to elevated numbers of collisions. The collision analysis methodology is guided by standards laid out in the HSM.

The first screening step in the collision analysis methodology is to develop critical crash rates for segments and intersections in the City.

Average crash rates are developed for intersections based on control type, and roadway segments based on functional classification. A statistical threshold is then established based on daily traffic volumes for each segment and intersection. The difference between the actual crash rate and the critical crash rate can then be used to estimate the relative risk faced by users of the given intersection or segment. This method builds on the High Crash or High Injury networks that essentially mirror High Traffic networks to provide deeper insight into potential low-cost safety measures. Roadways and intersections with lower classifications will also be identified, allowing the Vision Zero Plan to broach risk factors associated with those roadways.

The second screening step focuses on crash type over-representation. Citywide data is used to determine the typical crash type mix for each function classification, control type, city, and abutting land use. Then the mixture is reviewed for each segment and intersection to highlight those with high concentrations of a specific collision factor. Factors analyzed would include:

The resulting list would include both the number of crashes for each factor, and the probability that any excess is not random. Kimley-Horn will provide an inventory of sites including all roadway segments and intersections with three or more collisions (needed for statistical evaluation) ranked by overall number of collisions per Highway Safety Manual (HSM) guidance. Additionally, we will gather input from the public on the locations with traffic concerns from the community surveys, and in-person and online engagement activities. This information will be used to supplement collision data.

High Injury Network Maps
Kimley-Horn will analyze the existing collision data (fatal and severe injury collisions) and roadway network to develop a High Injury Network (HIN) for all travel modes–pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles. These HINs will highlight where the greatest concentration of crashes resulting in fatalities and injuries occur. In this analysis we will identify a subset of the roadway network where most crashes (>50%) are occurring. Creation of this network will help to determine which geographic areas the crashes are concentrated in and to prioritize investments within these areas. We will map the HIN and incorporate it into the Vision Zero Action Plan.

Develop Collision Profiles
Kimley-Horn will develop collision profiles based on the collision analysis and trends, primarily those which contributed to fatal and serious injury collisions. We will define up to ten (10) collision profiles which may include, but are not limited to, intersections (signalized and unsignalized), fatal and severe injury collisions, age or responsible party, high incident locations, time of day, bicycle/pedestrian involved collisions, collision types, and primary collision factors.

Deliverables
 Existing Conditions Technical Memorandum
 Collision Analysis Memorandum with HIN maps
 Collision Profiles
Task 3: Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program
The SRTS program will develop a comprehensive SRTS action plan that creates safe and convenient opportunities for students and parents to walk, bike, or roll to schools in city. The plan will develop a framework that enables stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize safety improvements on city roads and is tailored to the local protocols, needs, and issues while maintaining compliance with state and federal regulations
Task 3.1 – Project Management
Project Kick-off Meeting
Upon notice to proceed, Kimley-Horn will coordinate with the City of Monterey Parks Project Manager to schedule a kick-off meeting within two weeks after the commencement of work. The Kimley-Horn project manager will prepare a meeting agenda that includes team member introductions, project visioning and goal setting, project scope, schedule and budget, data needs, and membership of the project management team (PMT) that will be engaged in future check in meetings and deliverable review. Kimley-Horn will establish a project task and deliverable tracking sheet that will be used to monitor project progress throughout that can be used as a standing agenda and notes document as well.

Deliverables
 SRTS Project Kick-Off Meeting Agenda
 SRTS Project Kick-Off Meeting Notes and List of Attendees  SRTS Project Action and Deliverable Tracking Sheet
Task 3.2 – Existing Conditions and Safety Assessment Analysis Based on the Document Review from Task 2.1 and City and community input gathered in Task 3.3 below, the Kimley-Horn team will develop a preliminary menu of best practices for safety and accessibility, using the six “e’s” - engineering, evaluation, equity, education, encouragement, and enforcement strategies. The team will compile the best practices into a toolkit for consideration and refinement during the life of the project. This toolkit will be used in the development of the SRTS Plan to prepare a prioritization framework which will use City policies, state and national engineering standards, and community values as primary inputs to provide a prioritized project list for implementation that will include conceptual plans for specific projects adjacent to each campus.

The team will visit each school site and meet with school administrators to review conditions around each school to observe:

Field Observation/Qualitative Review
` Parking and circulation during the pick-up or drop-off period at each school to better understand congestion, maneuvers, and conflicts that are occurring which could conflict with pedestrian or bicycle traffic and lead to collisions. We will document points of conflict, observe moving and parking violations, and congestion which could lead to higher risk tolerance for drivers. ` Pedestrian and bicycle activity and facilities near the schools to see where students are crossing the road, which points of access they are using, and how much volume there is on nearby intersections and segments Quantitative Review
` Social equity metrics taken from census data, information provided by the schools and the California School Dashboard, and what is shared by the public and parents
` Crash data will be collected from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and from the Monterey Park Police Department within a half mile (½) mile radius of each campus School Zone Conformance Review
` Existing facilities and note those that might be missing or in need of an upgrade to verify current conditions and evaluate the existing condition from the ground point of view. The field review will cover key routes within a mile of the school site that are within the school zone attendance boundary.
` Extra Value-Added Service: Conformance review of School Zone Traffic Control with the latest updates to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) per the December 19, 2023 revision revisions to the Federal MUTCD, 11th Edition. We will work with ArcGIS mobile applications to provide field verification of signage, markings, crosswalks, speed limits, and uncontrolled traffic control. This field collected GIS data will be backchecked against each school’s boundaries and local roadway classifications to promote a consistent application of school zone traffic control citywide.

The Kimley-Horn team will evaluate each school site for its own points of access to determine whether there are school site barriers that expose students to more traffic that could be eliminated to make a shorter path for access. The observed entry points as well as pick-up and drop-off areas will be documented as will locked gates or other points of access that are not open to students.

We will create a service area map for each school documenting gaps, barriers, and key needs identified through the field review and school site investigation process.

Safety Assessment
The Kimley-Horn team will review crashes that occurred near each school site with particular focus on those involving pedestrians and bicycles that occurred during school pick-up and drop-off windows, which may indicate excessive speed or inattention issues that might put students, crossing guards, and other school employees at risk. The safety assessment will also include information provided by school administrators and other stakeholders regarding patterns, behaviors, and near misses that they have observed that could lead to future crashes. Kimley-Horn will document the findings of the safety assessment in the existing conditions report.

Safety Toolkit
The team will work with City staff and project stakeholders to identify preliminary tools that will enhance safety and accessibility for students traveling to and from school using a variety of transportation modes. Tools will be drawn from the LRSP and other documents developed by the City along with state and national guidance for bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic calming improvements. Measures to encourage more students to walk or roll to school safely could include enhanced crossing infrastructure, buffered bicycle lanes, crossing guard program expansion, walking school buses, public messaging campaigns, targeted enforcement initiatives, Spanish language outreach efforts, or new school and PTA-based safety education programs. The toolkit will include topics for all of the following six “E’s”:
• Engineering measures that slow traffic or provide better separation between vulnerable road users and vehicles
• Evaluation techniques to monitor implemented tools to see which ones are working best and which ones have not led to the desired outcomes
• Equity assessments that will help prioritize protections for those that need them most
• Education programs that will continue to focus on student walking and biking habits along with messaging campaigns for parents and drivers on how to behave in school zones during periods with student activity
• Encouragement programs to support parents and students in decisions about walking and biking to school
• Enforcement strategies to reduce driving behaviors that increase risk and exposure for vulnerable road users
We will provide a balanced set of solutions which can be implemented near-term to provide safety enhancements as the City works to implement a longer-term program of enhancements that will reduce and eliminate injuries related to school-oriented transportation. We will prepare conceptual maps for each school showing site and network improvements that are responsive to local needs shown in the analysis, and through discussions with the public and stakeholders. Each map will also have an accompanying inventory of programs and best practices that reflect both citywide and local school specific needs to provide a one spot overview of recommendations for each school.

Deliverables
 Field Notes
 Local School Demographics Report
 School Access and Circulation Diagrams
 School Area Needs Assessment Maps and CVC/CA-MUTCD Conformance  Crash Map for each School
 Safety Write-Up for each School including Crash Observations, Discussions with School Staff  Opportunity Map for each School
 Planning Level Concepts for Proposed Infrastructure Projects  Inventory of Best Practices, Policy and Program Recommendations  Toolkit Summary that Outlines Tool Kit Elements Citywide Task 3.3 – Community Stakeholder Engagement
Stakeholder Engagement
The Kimley-Horn team will establish a stakeholder group for this project that includes members of the Alhambra Unified School District (AUSD), Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), Montebello Unified School District (MUSD), representatives from the Monterey Park Police Department, Monterey Park Public Library, and other vested stakeholders. This group will provide guidance for the overall project effort and help identify an appropriate representative from each school to participate in their individual school assessment and plan. The team will meet with stakeholder groups from each school to get their understanding of local school specific issues which can be addressed in addition to citywide systemic challenges. Stakeholders will be invited to participate in field reviews as part of Task 3.2.

Page 65 of 258 ends

Kimley-Horn will establish up to three citywide stakeholder meetings.

Kimley-Horn also proposes an additional stakeholder meeting with City and police staff to build an understanding of the role of enforcement activities in plan development, implementation, and maintenance. There may also be opportunities for police staff to engage in new educational efforts, which would create a curriculum element around traffic safety.

Kimley-Horn proposes a meeting with LAUSD, AUSD, and MUSD as appropraite, which would focus on systemwide challenges which have been brought to the District’s attention and the potential roles District staff could play in planning development, implementation, and maintenance. The District could provide insights supporting plan initiatives as it will have records of complaints, incidents, and a role in developing new curricula. School staff will be invited to participate in meetings with the District. Once the existing conditions and safety analysis is complete, Kimley-Horn will meet with the Active Transportation Committee to provide an update on findings and to gather some initial feedback on potential best practices and solutions.

PublicCoordinate Survey and Map
The Kimley-Horn team will work with City to develop content for the project website established in Task

1.2 and establish interactive project maps for each school. The information collected from Task 3.2 will be shared and made available for comment and questions. Project web-based surveys will also be hosted on this site, along with presentation materials, draft deliverables, etc. The page will include widgets with third-party tools for interactive mapping so that any member of the community can interact with this non-technical website. The team will analyze the issues and constraints in this map and include them in the final deliverable. Further, we will work with school administrators to distribute the website to parents and students. A parallel website produced in Spanish will be provided for those more comfortable in that language. Links to each will be provided in outreach material. The Kimley-Horn team proposes developing the site as a Story Map using Esri’s web platform. Tabs will added for each major project milestone with text describing any findings, recommendations, or input received.

The team will also use PublicCoordinate, an
in-house public engagement platform to collect
ongoing feedback about the project. The interactive
map will be available in both English and Spanish.

This map will allow users to leave location specific
comments throughout the City of Monterey Park.

Further, PublicCoordinate is the best platform to
allow us to host an online survey to see real-time,
iterative feedback from Monterey Park residents.

Unlike other web-based platform, as an in-house platform, we can leverage PublicCoordinate to create a subpage for each school, embed it on any webpage and readily shared through social media sites to boost public participation, and quickly change between platform languages at a moment’s notice depending on the audience. For example, we can alter icons for community input that best represent community culture, highlight specific corridors or locations to affirm or challenge heard input, and see real-time data to quickly create summaries of what the community has shared. Further, we can directly upload a survey on PublicCoordinate, allowing us to see real-time feedback and pivot our engagement as needed. Residents will be able to use this interactive, user-friendly tool to highlight specific intersections and locations with concerns and draw segments where they would like pedestrian and bicycle facilities added or upgraded.

Community Engagement
The Kimley-Horn team will provide materials and lead in-person and virtual activities.

Where appropriate, we anticipate holding English, Spanish, and Mandarin language events which will cover the same content to create a smoother experience without the need for interpreters. We will host up to five English, Spanish, and Mandarin workshops to meet with parents and staff to better understand the local conditions at each school and the Scan Me

challenges associated with walking and biking in the area. If possible, these workshops would be held in parallel to allow cross discussion and sharing of findings before and after. Where feasible, adjacent schools will be combined with joint workshops. Associated with those workshops, our team will lead a walking tour of the area around the school to see and hear what residents encounter as they and their children travel to school. The Kimley-Horn team will prepare a presentation for each school using material that will be included in the individual SRTS Report.

Materials will also be shared on the project website. We will develop an interactive student-focused activity to help students engage with the process in a way that can lead to meaningful understanding of the project, its objectives, and how they can be part of the solutions when the plan is being implemented.

Task 3.4 – Compilation of Final Action Plan
Document
School Profiles
The Kimley-Horn team will create an existing conditions profile for each of the 12 schools summarizing the various information collected in the previous tasks. The profile will include maps and information summaries to help highlight areas where crashes overlap with missing infrastructure or where potential walking routes are not available due to lack of a direct or safe route.

The team will evaluate each school site for its own points of access to determine whether there are school site barriers that expose students to more traffic that could be eliminated to make a shorter path for access. The observed entry points as well as pick-up and drop-off areas will be documented as well as locked gates or other points of access that are not open to students.

In addition, the team will coordinate with the schools to collect the student travel surveys. The surveys will be conducted for two typical weekdays from Tuesday to Thursday.

The team will review the existing conditions profile with City staff and document where there are missing facilities or any that need upgrading.

The information collected in Task 3.3 will be used as a foundation, with additional needs incorporated as necessary based on the subsequent data collection. Factors evaluated for needs identification will include:
• Pick-up and drop-off activity on nearby neighborhood streets • Level of impact of pick-up and drop-off activity to neighborhood safety and traffic operations
• Campus trips by mode whether they are inbound or outbound • Primary routes to campus
• Crossing guard utilization

Improvement Plans
Based on team findings, City input, and community
input, we will develop a menu of best practices
for safety and accessibility, using the six “E’s”—
engineering, evaluation, equity, education,
encouragement, and enforcement strategies. We
will work with City staff to select the best projects
that will best advance the project objectives.

Kimley-Horn and City staff will schedule a meeting
with each school and its stakeholders to discuss
the proposed projects and initiatives and gather
feedback on the included elements before
developing the school’s individual SRTS Plan.

The Kimley-Horn team will then compile the
improvement plans into a cohesive report for each
school outlining the process, findings, and reasons
that led to each project or initiative that was identified for the school. The plan will be sufficiently detailed to allow schools and stakeholders to provide informed opinions about how projects should be prioritized, whether or not the school’s needs are met by the plan, and how they can participate in the implementation process.

The plans will include conceptual figures and fact sheets for proposed improvements that have been sufficiently defined for future grant prioritization. Plans will be developed with the public in mind and will use graphics and simple language to convey ideas, avoiding industry jargon or technical terms that might not be familiar to non-practitioners. 30% Implementation Plans
The end goal of this Action Plan is to drive projects to the next level of the SS4A “Implementation” for construction and/or other grant funding sources. For the progress of this specific task, Kimley-Horn will prepare “higher detailed” 30% level conceptual engineering plans and cross-sections for the development of a key project for each school or larger corridor project that connects multiple schools for the next level “Implementation” stages for grant-ready improvement. Alternatives will be developed for traffic calming, bike facilities, transit stops, and pedestrian safety measures with “synergistic” metrics that can combine multiple schools and/or other identified elements/locations as stated from the City’s LRSP , ATP , and PMP that will give the City the greatest return on investment. Once the City approves the geometric concept plans, Kimley-Horn will prepare a preliminary cost estimate so the City can be confident that the project will be delivered within budget.

Deliverables
 Existing Conditions Report including Profile Write-up for each School (12)  Student Tally Results
 Individualized School Profile and Project Recommendations (12)  Project Concept Plans (30% equivalent) covering a project for each of the 12 schools Final Report
Kimley-Horn will prepare a final report that will synthesize the action items and associated costs from the nine individual school reports so that City staff can work with the program holistically and to aid in the development of CIPs. The report will provide context and document the overall findings through the various individual school planning efforts, outline the processes followed and key findings. The report will also summarize the outreach processes, stakeholder feedback received, and will reference each of the nine individual reports as a packaged document set.

The final report will be prepared with public consumption in mind and be easily followed by non-technical readers. Our proposal assumes that Kimley-Horn team staff will assist with up to three presentations to City Council or City committees to aid in plan approval and adoption.

Task 4: Active Transportation Plan
The Active Transportation Plan (ATP) will evaluate the City of Monterey Park’s system of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, amenities, policies, and programs to identify barriers to biking and walking for users of all ages and abilities. The final plan will identify areas of low quality of service for pedestrians and cyclists and develop a framework of infrastructure improvements to increase biking and walking. Ultimately, the ATP will identify gaps in the network and prioritize projects that connect to popular activity centers, including schools, parks, and community and senior centers while identifying low-cost solutions to increase safety and number of active trips.

Task 4.1: Technical Advisory Committee
The project team will establish a establish a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) that will include between eight to 15 members from local, regional, and state agencies including California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) Bicycle Committee, RTC Elderly and Disabled Advisory Committee, the Monterey Park Police Department, and Monterey City departments including public works, public transit, health, housing, and others.

The team will consult the TAC throughout the course of the project. Specifically, the team will meet with the TAC a minimum of three times during key milestones of the project including identifying active transportation needs, development of project list, and during the drafting of the plan. Some of the key discussion topics will include receiving input on public engagement activities and approach, strategies to maximize resident participation in community engagement, identifying additional stakeholders to engage in the project, identifying potential implementation resources, and identifying opportunities for future coordination and synergy with other initiatives impacting the community so that the ATP engagement dialogue continues well after this project. The team will also present the draft ATP to the TAC and will review and analyze comments to help determine the active transportation needs, the project list, and priority order needed in the community.

Deliverables
 Community and Stakeholder Assessment
 List of Advisory Group Members and Roles
 Meeting with TAC (up to three [3] meetings)
Task 4.2: Public and Community Groups Engagement

Engagement Events
The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with the City to host at least five (5) separate outreach events to engage the community in a discussion about challenges and opportunities about active transportation in the community. The events will be developed with input by the City and the TAC and will allow for residents, community members, and stakeholders to provide input on focus areas, challenges, and barriers to navigating the City using active transportation modes, feedback on active transportation networks, and more. The team will use resident feedback to help identify the active transportation network in Task 4.4. Some of the anticipated events the team may host include neighborhood meetings, town halls, pop-ups, or tables at existing events such as farmer’s markets or community festivals, workshops, door-to-door canvassing, and more.

Deliverables
 Five (5) Separate Community Outreach Events
 Materials Needed to Facilitate Engagement Events
Public Website
The Kimley-Horn team will develop a project website in Task 1.2 as part of the larger Monterey Park Vision Zero Safety Action Plan. The project website will include information about the project meetings and allow stakeholders to submit feedback without attending meetings.

The website will also include PublicCoordinate, which will allow for the public to complete an online survey and submit comments on desired location and type of transit and active transportation. The online survey will allow users to identify current barriers and recommendations for suggested improvements. At the conclusion of the survey period, the team will prepare a memorandum outlining the findings of the virtual engagement platform.

Deliverables
 Project Website (see Task 1.2)
 Summary of Survey Findings
Council Meetings
In addition to the TAC meetings, the team will prepare and deliver presentations to the City Council to apprise them of the draft ATP and to provide the opportunity for the Council to review and provide input before the final draft is completed. The team will also make a final presentation to the Council after the plan is completed on the implementation of the plan.

Deliverables
 Materials for Presentation to the Council
 Presentation to the Council for Adoption (2 meetings) Task 4.3: Existing Conditions Inventory

Underserved Population Analysis
Kimley-Horn will collect and evaluate data in the lens of equity as part of this project with the SS4A Action Plan criteria specifically requiring satisfaction of the following:
• Considerations of equity using inclusive and
representative processes
• The identification of underserved communities through data • Equity analysis developed in collaboration with appropriate partners, including population characteristics and initial equity impact assessments of proposed projects and strategies
The team will review Block Group level statistics for each business district in the City using American Community Survey data to identify concentrations of households with limited vehicle access, seniors, youths, and other transportation disadvantaged populations. The team will also review the latest CalEnviroScreen 4.0 and work with the TAC to determine designated transportation disadvantaged communities that might need additional prioritization for active transportation. The team will develop maps that show transportation disadvantaged neighborhoods that can be overlaid with infrastructure gaps and related needs.

Deliverables
 Maps of Transportation Disadvantaged Neighborhoods (up to 15) Needs/Gaps Analysis
The team will use information gathered from Task 4.3 to prepare a technical memorandum describing the key thematic active transportation needs identified in Monterey Park. In addition to the thematic needs, the team will provide an assessment of the inventory developed in Task 4.3, highlighting gaps in the existing infrastructure that may inhibit system use by different populations. Task 4.3 will include detailed equity-based analysis that will allow the team to highlight specific needs for some of the most vulnerable users. For instance, the team may find that in Downtown Monterey Park, medians help vulnerable populations safely cross a street whereas they may not be as needed in less busy areas of the city with high concentrations of vulnerable populations.

Deliverables
 Needs Assessment Technical Memorandum
Identify Key Multimodal Hubs
The team will identify key locations that should be prioritized for connectivity to the citywide bicycle and pedestrian network including neighborhood-serving destinations such as transit stops, schools, parks, community centers, parks, senior centers, libraries, and shopping/employment hubs. The team will work with City staff to identify the critical facilities and will review available data from Strava, Replica, the longitudinal Employment/Housing Dynamic, and feedback from the community and other stakeholders to identify major activity centers.

Deliverables
 GIS Map of Key Multimodal Hubs
Identify Bicycle/Pedestrian Network
The team will undertake an extensive data collection effort to understand current uses and trends for bicyclists and pedestrians in the city.

The team will use big data to compile, map, and analyze bicycle and pedestrian counts, travel routes, bike facilities, and collision data. The team will compile, analyze, and map bicycle and pedestrian crash data to produce GIS maps of the existing bicycle and pedestrian network and overlay it with the existing multimodal hub to identify a core system spine of where there can be cross-town connectivity. The core system spine will then connect the hubs as directly as possible and make use of low-stress roadways and off-street trails where possible. The team will then identify neighborhoods that lack or have poor access to the system and identify necessary connections that will improve multimodal access. For instance, east-west connectivity in the City is minimal, with many residents biking on streets without protected bike lanes. This task will compile, map, and analyze bicycle and pedestrian crash data, including big data sources to evaluate pedestrian and bicycle trips to create a conceptual bicycle and pedestrian network GIS maps.

Deliverables
 Conceptual Bicycle and Pedestrians Network GIS Map
Task 4.4: Identification of Active Transportation Needs and Project List Outline Most Critical System Gaps
Using the existing conditions inventory from Task 4.3 and feedback from outreach and engagement in Task 4.2, the team will conduct a usage assessment of proposed projects needed to create a complete and safe pedestrian and bicycle network and develop an implementation plan to deploy active transportation improvements quickly based on feasibility. The usage assessment will score projects based system improvements including bicycle parking, signage, marking, crossings and lighting, safety at hazardous locations along bicycle and pedestrian high-injury networks, available right-of-way, traffic volume on roadways, and major possible cost escalation factors (e.g., cost impacts of drain inlets located at proposed curb extension locations). The usage assessment will also score the feasibility and preliminary cost of projects to recommend tiers based on scores to help the City prioritize which projects should be constructed first, and which can wait for specific funding opportunities or maintenance cycles. For instance, a quick-build project that could be prioritized over others is installation of bike-lane bollards at the beginning of the bike lane that starts at the intersection of Mednik Avenue and E Fisher Street to minimize safety exposure for cyclists and other riders. The team will make these recommendations and align them with the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) Complete Connections working paper of deploying multiple neighborhood-scaled installation projects at a time.

Deliverables
 Tiered List of Projects
Implementation and Funding Plan
Kimley-Horn will prepare an Implementation and Funding Plan identifying strategic ways to fund and deploy active transportation improvements quickly through quick-build and other strategies such as a network deployment approach. The team will create recommendations for active transportation improvements with a planning-level cost assessment for the projects identified in the tiered project list. These costs will be based on Class I, II, III, and IV typologies using a cost per mile with contingency. Similarly, the team will include a funding matrix that identifies funding sources for active transportation funding projects and will provide information on how the funds are accessed and what specific types of projects are eligible. The intent of the cost assessment and funding matrix is to provide a funding source and mechanisms to identify strategic and innovative ways to deploy the most critical active transportation improvements throughout the city.

Establish Bicycle/Pedestrian Facility Typologies
The team will also develop a portfolio of best practices for active transportation infrastructure based on the bicycle or pedestrian facility typology. We will develop a series of cross-sections (up to 10) for different types of roadways and multimodal facilities to help standardize system development and assist in future projects completed as part of roadway maintenance. The portfolio will include crash modification factors, countermeasures, and will refine the cost estimates using these typologies. These typologies will establish guidelines for appropriate installation of active transportation infrastructure in different contexts.

Deliverables:
 Up to 10 cross-sections with corresponding descriptions and appropriate profiles Develop Wayfinding Guidance
The team will develop an active transportation system route map and note key destinations and origins. This map will be used to identify key locations where wayfinding signage would be beneficial in helping route pedestrians and cyclists into the active transportation network. The map will also indicate where wayfinding signage can guide pedestrians and cyclists to the best routes for key locations in the City.

Deliverables
 A System Map that Identifies Potential Wayfinding Sites and Sign Locations Task 4.5: Develop Monterey Park Active Transportation Plan Draft Plan
The Kimley-Horn team will compile a draft report that outlines the process and findings for Task 4, including an overview of current biking and walking conditions, and barriers, the methodology for completing the analysis tasks, detailed summaries of community input and engagement, and a lists of recommended infrastructure projects to connect residents to major activity centers and of programmatic projects to enhance enforcement and awareness into a draft active transportation plan. The plan will include a list of priority projects for the City to implement. Appendices will include summaries of the outreach and engagement work completed with underserved communities, the TAC, community organizations, and members of the general public. The team will share progress of the ATP draft plan and solicit feedback on the plan’s recommendations from City officials at these meetings.

Task 5.2: Public Engagement
The Kimley-Horn team proposes to use our online mapping tool, PublicCoordinate, to collect input from residents. This mapping tool can be embedded on project flyers and readily shared through social media sites to boost public participation. Residents, stakeholders, and community members will be able to use this interactive, user-friendly tool to highlight specific intersections and locations with concerns and draw segments where they would like pedestrian and bicycle facilities added or upgraded. This mapping tool will identify current barriers and recommendations for suggested improvements around a given school site.

Our team will also create a project flyer that provides project information such as vision and timeline, a link to PublicCoordinate, and a graphic of our next community event. Display boards such as an existing conditions map and a project design options board will be used at community events to introduce the community to the project and solicit feedback. Our team has conducted door-to-door outreach to distribute materials and encourage participation. We have also coordinated attention-grabbing postcard mailings to local businesses, directing them to project input websites and inviting them to public meetings. To reach the broader community, we will request the City to promote these events on their social media platforms and will collaborate with schools to distribute flyers to parents and school staff.

Deliverables
 Interactive Online Engagement Map and Survey
Task 5.3 Walk Audits and Surveys
Using findings from the existing conditions report in Task 5.2, the Kimley-Horn team will coordinate and conduct walk audits at up to five key corridors throughout the city. The team will document points of conflict which could lead to increased pedestrian or bicycle collisions, observed moving and parked vehicle violations, and note how the street configuration contributes to higher risk tolerance for drivers.

The team will coordinate with key representatives from the TAC and other community members from other tasks to help raise awareness of complete street needs in the city. The team will also capture video and photo recordings of the existing street conditions.

Deliverables
 Walk Audits (up to 5 corridors)
 Summary of Walk Audit Findings
Task 5.4 Draft Corridor Conceptual Designs and Recommendations The team will develop sustainable transportation project recommendations.

The team shall package the project recommendations into grant-ready “cut sheets”.

Kimley-Horn will prepare 30% concept plans and cross-sections for each of the selected five corridors. These concept plans include project recommendations and grant-ready cut sheets that include corridor overview and goals, conceptual designs, cost estimates, equity variables, implementation and feasibility considerations (e.g., applicable grants and recommendations for incorporation into workplans), and other evaluation criteria relevant for grant applications and project prioritization including traffic calming, bike facilities, transit stops, and pedestrian safety measures that align with Task 3, Task 4, and overall Vision Zero document. Further, the plans will include conceptual figures and factsheets for proposed improvements that have been sufficiently defined for future grant prioritization. Plans will be developed with the public in mind and will use graphics and simple language to convey ideas, avoiding industry jargon or technical terms that might not be familiar to non-practitioners. Once the City approves the geometric concept plans, Kimley-Horn will prepare a preliminary cost estimate so the City can be confident the project can be delivered within budget.

Task 6: Vision Zero Action Plan
The Vision Zero Action Plan will compile the findings and recommendations of the previous tasks into a unified safety vision for the City, inclusive of all the required elements included in the Safe Streets for All Program including:
• Establishing a Vision Zero horizon goal
• Designating a Safety Task Force
• Systemic Safety Analysis, Hot Spot Analysis and
High Injury Network
• Documented Public Engagement (In-Person and Virtual)
• Equity Analysis of Proposed Countermeasures
• Best Practices Assessment
• A Systemic Safety Countermeasures Toolbox
• An Implementation and Evaluation Program
Task 6.1 Vision Zero Goals and Objectives
As part of the document review in Task 2.1, the Kimley-Horn team will review the goals and objectives presented in the City’s Local Road Safety Plan and will assess whether they meet the needs of the SS4A and could be used for this Vision Zero Plan. If the vision and goals do not meet the requirements, the team will work with City staff and stakeholders to update the needed to the goals and objectives. Specifically, the team will leverage the Vision Zero Governance Task Force to host a vision and goal development meeting to outline a set of goals and objectives early in the project that align with the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) National Road Safety Strategy, Safe Systems Approach, Vision Zero, Complete Streets, and other relevant documents to guide proposed safety actions. The vision and goals will include a commitment to zero traffic deaths by a target deadline, likely 2050, to align with Caltrans’ other local agency targets or a 90% reduction of roadway fatalities and serious injuries with the eventual goal of eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries completely. The goals will align with funding requirements for SS4A implementation funding and other grant programs. Furthermore, the goals will help guide the project and result in a final Vision Zero Action Plan is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and implementation focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators.

Task 6.2 Emphasis Areas
Using findings of the Existing Conditions review, the SRTS Plan, the ATP , and the CSP , the Kimley-Horn team will identify key emphasis areas that Monterey Park should prioritize for safety improvements over the life-cycle of this plans implementation program. The team will also identify safety countermeasures that are best suited to reducing traffic injuries and fatalities through improvements impacting those challenge areas.

Using findings from the ATP’s existing conditions, the SRTS Plan, the CSP , and feedback from community members and stakeholders, the team will identify emphasis areas for the City that represent dominant factors involved in collision trends, particularly those that seem to be increasing. As much as possible, these emphasis areas will align with those of the SHSP and state funding priorities, elevating the City’s competitiveness for safety funding. The team will work with City staff and the Vision Zero Governance and Task Force group to discuss potential emphasis areas that will be the focus of strategy development. The selected emphasis areas will be measurable and associated with a variety of safety improvement strategies from the the six “e’s” - engineering, evaluation, equity, education, encouragement, and enforcement strategies. Once selected, the emphasis areas can be monitored over time to evaluate the effectiveness of strategies as they are implemented.

The strategies will also consider emerging technologies and changes vehicle and travel patterns such as electric and connected vehicles, e-bikes, and other modes with increasing use.

Deliverables
 Best Practices Checklist
 List of Focus Areas and Potential Strategies
Task 6.3 Vision Zero Governance and Task Force
Kimley-Horn will work with City staff to identify members of a Vision Zero Task Force comprised of a broad group of stakeholders that will cover a variety of interests and knowledge areas to support in the development of a comprehensive and equitable plan that addresses roadway safety from each of the Safety Es. Representatives are anticipated to include, but are not limited to, City staff (engineering, public works, planning), Monterey Park Police Department, Monterey Park County Roads & Airports Department, Monterey Park Public Health Department, Caltrans, Monterey Park Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, Senior Advisory Commission, Metro, East Los Angeles Community College, local advocacy groups (Active SGV), and select representatives from major employers and other community based organizations (CBOs). We will develop and maintain a Vision Zero Task Force roster with names, organization, and contact information.

Further, Kimley-Horn will lead the planning and facilitation of up to three (3) Vision Zero Task Force virtual meetings that are proposed to be scheduled at strategic junctures of the project. These meetings will be geared towards soliciting feedback from the group on the Vision Zero Plan goals and objectives, crash data analysis (including HIN), community outreach strategy, countermeasure toolbox, safety emphasis areas, priority locations, and review of the Draft Vision Zero Action Plan. Kimley-Horn will prepare and submit meeting agendas prior to each Vision Zero Task Force meeting. A summary of the meeting notes with action items will be developed and distributed by Kimley-Horn following each meeting.

Deliverables
 Vision Zero Task Force Roster
 Meeting Agendas and Notes
 Vision Zero Task Force Meetings (up to 3 meetings)
Task 6.4 Transportation Equity Assessment
Kimley-Horn will explore the impact of traffic safety on disadvantaged populations as identified by Justice40 and SB 535 as the Vision Zero Plan is developed. Showing safety challenges that are particular to these disadvantaged communities, and countermeasures that are best suited to address them, provides unique funding opportunities and may be eligible for funding prioritization through a variety of state and federal grant programs. Particular attention will be placed on vulnerable road users (VRU) as they face greater risk of injury and death from

traffic collisions and are much more likely to be exposed to traffic hazards if they belong to a minority or low-income group.

The Vision Zero Plan will consider ways to improve safe multimodal transportation accessibility for underserved communities consistent with the goals established by SS4A Undeserved Population tools as defined by areas of persistent poverty. The transportation equity assessment will be included as a section in the Draft Vision Zero Action Plan (Task 6.7).

Deliverables
 Transportation Equity Assessment
Task 6.5 Best Practices Assessment
The Kimley-Horn team will work with City staff to identify programs, policies, procedures, and resources, within the City that are most supportive of safety, which ones could be updated to better align with current best practices, and where there are opportunities for new initiatives that would likely support safer roads and better driving behaviors beyond physical infrastructure and roadway engineering. Kimley- Horn staff will collect the needed information by providing the City with a list of questions in advance and will conduct an interview with City staff to finalize the responses. The best practices review will culminate in a checklist with enforcement strategies, educational opportunities, public messaging and feedback as well as the programs and policies related to traffic safety and mobility throughout the City.

Deliverables
 Best Practice Assessment
 Key Staff Interview (up to 5)
 Best Practices Checklist
Task 6.6 Safety Countermeasures Toolbox
Based on the collision data analysis and focus and challenge areas identified in Task 2, Task 3, Task 4, and Task 5, and input received during stakeholder and community outreach activities, the Kimley-Horn team will identify safety countermeasures starting with those in the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual, FHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures, Countermeasures that Work published by the USDOT, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 500, and guidance for implementation of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Strategic Highway Safety Plan, which have proven strategies to address safety issues seen on city roadways. These countermeasures will focus on the six Safety Es. Measures that support safe, efficient, and equitable active transportation strategies use will be integrated in the plan. Kimley-Horn will develop a customized safety countermeasure (or Vision Zero) toolbox comprised of engineering countermeasures that can be implemented at intersections and roadway segments. The toolbox will include the recommended countermeasures along with corresponding crash modification factor (CMF), crash reduction factor (CRF), specific concepts for complete streets, school access, crash hot stops, funding eligibility, and relative implementation costs that will advance traffic safety in the city.

Services Offered
As a fully integrated, multidisciplinary consulting firm, we offer a variety of services, including but not limited to, the relevant services listed below.

Traffic Engineering
Kimley-Horn was founded by three traffic engineer graduates from North Carolina State University who had a strong passion to serve clients, particularly public agencies. Today, this discipline continues to be one of our core practice areas in virtually every one of our offices. We have completed thousands of traffic engineering projects for public agencies across the country, ranging from major area-wide systems involving hundreds of intersections to the design and analysis of a single intersection. Our team brings experience in traffic studies and analyses, including the evaluation of operational characteristics, safety, capacity, circulation, flow, and access. Our traffic engineering team is highly- trained and capable in using software—including VISSIM, CORSIM, HCS+, Synchro/ SimTraffic, SIDRA Intersection, Signal 2020, and Transyt- 7F—to evaluate the operating conditions for existing or proposed roadway configurations. In addition, our staff has the ability to translate these analyses into easy-to-understand content for the general public as well as public officials and other stakeholders.

Traffic Safety
Kimley-Horn is dedicated to improving safety for all users on all public roads through efforts in traffic safety planning and incorporating traffic safety components in our designs. Our expertise is shown through our efforts leading SHSPs, including California’s 2020-2024 SHSP , setting California’s Safety Performance Measure Targeting, developing various Systematic Safety Analysis Report (SSARs) and LRSPs for local agencies, and a variety of design projects that have innovative and effective safety countermeasures. Our team is experienced in working with public agencies to evaluate not just where crashes occur, but what conditions contribute to elevated crash activity and what countermeasures can be applied systemically to reduce the frequency of accidents. We understand that each jurisdiction faces unique safety challenges, driver behavior patterns, and historical roadway development, and our team of experienced engineers, planners, and roadway safety specialists are skilled in meeting the specific needs of each community.

Specifically, Kimley-Horn
understands that a Vision Zero Plan
is a proactive approach to safety
analysis. Existing crash patterns
form part of the safety picture, but
only show us where crashes have
occurred, not necessarily where
conditions that elevate the risk of
crashes exist. A Vision Zero Plan
is intended to identify high crash
locations within a city and diagnose
what conditions might contribute
to that elevated crash activity. The
Vision Zero Plan then identifies
countermeasures that can be
applied systemically throughout the
city where those conditions exist to
remove those higher risk conditions
before crashes occur. Vision Zero
Plans also require partnerships
from various stakeholders, and
a focus on behavior as well as
engineering. Kimley-Horn has
extensive and unique experience
providing these services.

Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
Safe Routes to School has been a focus area of Kimley-Horn’s staff since its inception and funding in California more than 25 years ago.

The different characteristics of the study area around each school as well as different characteristics of the administrators, parents, and children at each school, mean a customized approach to each school is essential to the success of any program. Walking audits may identify differing problems related to the safety of school children including speeding, high traffic volume, parking conflicts, and conflicts in the shared public space between passenger vehicles, buses, bicycles, and pedestrians. All these conflicts lead to increasingly unsafe conditions for children and parents. Programs may identify a greater need for a focus on bike or pedestrian safety, revised drop-off and pick-up policies, or encouragement programs for parents and students to increase walking, biking, or carpooling to school. At Kimley-Horn, our SRTS practice focuses on creating safe and convenient opportunities for children (and adults) to bicycle and walk to each of the study area schools.

Secondary benefits to children and their neighborhood, include improved health, reduced traffic congestion and speeding, better air quality, and enhanced neighborhood safety. The culmination of our process is to provide schools with a plan that represents a consensus of the needs and preferences of the school administrators, parents, local residents, and municipal agency staff.

What truly sets our team apart is our in-depth experience planning and designing SRTS elements. Our approach of listening to our clients’ safety concerns and understanding design solutions while we formulate conceptual planning improvements results in efficient and successful projects. This means SRTS elements can be designed and constructed more quickly to enhance safety around each school as quickly as possible.

Active Transportation
Kimley-Horn is committed to enabling safe, attractive, and comfortable access and travel for all users, including bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities. We have extensive experience in bicycle and pedestrian planning and place priority on new practices and implementable solutions. Our bicycle and pedestrian planning experience ranges from municipal, regional, and statewide plans to corridors and wayfinding studies. Our focus on implementability is seen through our successful on-street bikeway, sidewalk, and greenway design practice as well as through our innovative operational studies such as in-road bicycle detection systems. The fact that we are frequently asked to take our bicycle and pedestrian planning projects all the way from design to construction administration demonstrates our clients’ trust in the quality we provide.

Traffic Data Collection
Our team members are skilled at using manual and advanced technology to collect traffic data. Based on the need, our team can capture field data with basic methods or through use of portable GPS devices that allow digital photo linking capabilities and direct importation into GIS mapping and software such as ESRI ArcGIS. We take care to obtain accurate data because it is the basis for a traffic study. Often, some data (such as accident reports or recent traffic counts) can be obtained from existing sources. However, if new data is needed, Kimley-Horn knows the criteria for data collection, documentation, and compilation.

Public and Stakeholder Outreach and Engagement
Kimley-Horn is sensitive to the pivotal role of meaningful public and stakeholder involvement programs that enable stakeholders and area residents to establish their priorities. We understand that some projects require community involvement and acceptance, and we have developed effective methods of bringing the community into the process. Kimley-Horn is strongly committed to conducting public and stakeholder participation programs that educate, inform, and build consensus for a particular solution. Each project is different in terms of the public and stakeholders and the critical issues involved; thus, each public and stakeholder involvement/ outreach program must be tailored to specifically address the project’s needs.

The Kimley-Horn team’s approach to managing
the visioning, branding, messaging, engagement,
and education-based strategies of the City
of Monterey Park’s Vision Zero Plan will be
grounded in the following core beliefs:
• You can’t put a price on saving a life
• Systematic change is the only way
• Success requires a multidisciplinary approach
grounded in teamwork
• Saving lives must be proactive

If awarded, Kimley-Horn can skillfully provide funding administration services to make sure the City is in full compliance with any regulations and requirements. Throughout the funding process, our team will maintain communication and provide ongoing support, ensuring a seamless experience for the City.

Relevant Projects
California Statewide Safety Projects
Caltrans, Vulnerable Road User Assessment, Statewide, CA Kimley-Horn led the development of Caltrans’ first FHWA mandated Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment. The work required a review of pedestrian and bicycle injuries across the entire state to understand traffic and behavior patterns that contribute to poor safety outcomes. As part of the review, the team identified communities in the state with the highest injury rates relative to the amount of walking and biking being done locally. The greater Bakersfield area was in the top 10 regions of the state and was identified as a safety priority area for the State. The team compiled the findings into a report and an online story map where the underlying data can be viewed publicly. As an outcome, the SHSP for the state has been updated to account for those findings, making new analysis and countermeasure selection tools a priority for Caltrans.

Caltrans, Strategic Highway Safety Plan, Statewide, CA
Kimley-Horn led California’s 2020 to 2024 SHSP Update and Implementation, a multi-agency collaborative effort. The SHSP’s mission was to provide a safe and sustainable transportation system for all motorized and nonmotorized users on all public roads in California. Kimley-Horn’s role was to assist with SHSP development, action plans, and compliance with federal requirements.

The final SHSP provided guidance about areas of emphasis, make recommendations for improvement, and note responsible agencies and individuals for each action. Kimley-Horn will continue to support Caltrans with overseeing implementation for the next several years. This project required extensive coordination with a steering committee, executive committee, and several working groups. These groups met at regular intervals, and a rigid deliverable schedule was required to get meaningful input from each of these groups. Kimley-Horn successfully worked with Caltrans staff to keep the project on schedule and on budget, while remaining versatile enough to respond to feedback that occasionally shifts project priorities and objectives.

Caltrans was so happy with Kimley-Horn’s work that we were recently awarded the contract for the 2025-2029 SHSP.

Our team is leading various community engagement activities including online and community surveys, attendance at community pop-up events, and facilitation of Vision Zero Working Group meetings, Community workshops, and various committee meetings.

Additionally, Kimley-Horn developed Vision Zero promotional material and collateral, including promotional signage (see photo below). Our team is performing crash data analysis based on eight years of crash data to evaluate crash trends, crash types, primary collision factors, and other factors contributing to fatal and severe injury crashes on the City’s road network. Additionally, based on geospatial analysis of the crash data, we reviewed high crash concentration locations and identified a high injury network (HIN) to aid in prioritization of investments in safety countermeasure implementation and other non-engineering strategies. As part of the Vision Zero Action Plan development, Kimley-Horn will prepare a countermeasure toolbox and identify a comprehensive set of projects and actions that address the various safety challenge areas, along with timelines for implementation.

County of Ventura, Vision Zero Plan, Ventura, CA
Kimley-Horn is building on prior safety work it has completed for Ventura County to build a countywide Vision Zero Plan. The plan incorporates many of the same elements as the Monterey Park Vision Zero plan. Our team is developing a comprehensive public messaging campaign, a proactive review of best practices against local programs and policies, and a series of multimodal needs assessments to find the safety challenges in the most need of investment for safety improvement.

County of Santa Cruz, SS4A Safety Action Plan and Vision Zero Strategy, Ventura, CA Kimley-Horn is preparing the Santa Cruz County Safety Action Plan (SAP) in coordination with the County of Santa Cruz and the Cities of Scotts Valley and Watsonville. This plan identifies crash trends and challenge areas contributing to traffic fatalities and severe injuries Countywide and per each jurisdiction. This plan also includes public engagement and stakeholder outreach. Kimley-Horn is developing systemic and location-specific safety improvements which will equip the County to achieve its Vision Zero goal of zero traffic fatalities and severe injuries by 2030.

Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), SS4A Vision Zero Action Plan, Monterey, CA Kimley-Horn is part of the team developing a regional SS4A Vision Zero Plan for the TAMC region in Monterey County. This plan involves developing detailed safety analyses for the regional roadway system, and for each of TAMC’s member agencies that do not have an existing qualified SAP . The plan also involves extensive stakeholder and public outreach to better understand traffic safety concerns throughout the County. The goal is to identify a series of safety initiatives that can be implemented at both the regional and local level to reduce traffic injuries in the County and to make it easier for agencies to prioritize safety improvements that will provide the most benefit for the investment in the near- and long terms.

City of Los Angeles, Vision Zero Program Independent Evaluation, Los Angeles, CA Kimley-Horn was part of the team that evaluated the City of Los Angeles’ Vision Zero Program. Team members interviewed City staff from several departments as well as representatives from peer cities that had also completed a Vision Zero Plan. The team also reviewed the city’s safety performance, law enforcement activity, and project development progress to assess how well the City has met its planned objectives, identify barriers that have hindered implementation, and recommendations for changes that can be made to the program to overcome those barriers. The project resulted in a final report with a number of findings and associated recommendations.

City of Everett, Safety Action Plan (Vision Zero Study), Everett, WA Kimley-Horn is developing the City of Everett’s SAP and Vision Zero Study in compliance with the USDOT’s SS4A program. Our team is collecting and analyzing traffic safety data and identifying policies and programs for better safety outcomes. In partnership with a certified DBE, we are also conducting extensive community engagement through interviews, stakeholder workshops, online open houses and surveys, social media, earned media, and a project website. To ensure the final document is responsive to the needs and priorities of all communities, we are conducting an equity analysis using a data driven approach that identifies concentrations of historically disadvantaged or vulnerable populations using public health and demographic indicators. The final SAP document will include concept designs, cost estimates, and scope summaries for projects in high priority locations.

District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT), Vision Zero Traffic Safety Conceptual Design Support, Washington, DC Kimley-Horn is supporting the Vision Zero Division of DDOT with the delivery of safety-focused improvements for the District under this on-call contract. Using data-based analyses, Kimley-Horn has supported DDOT with the prioritization of crash analyses of high-frequency crash locations along High Injury Network Corridors, in turn developing improvement concepts to address safety and operational challenges. Kimley-Horn has completed operational analyses using Synchro software to evaluate existing and build conditions, performed traffic signal warrant analyses, and created concept plans to illustrate potential build configurations.

Kimley-Horn has leveraged prior experience on safety studies to create safety alternatives to mitigate existing conditions.

One of the tasks Kimley-Horn has worked on to date is the Southern Avenue Corridor Improvement Study, which was identified as a priority project under Vision Zero. Kimley-Horn is identifying and evaluating short-term safety improvements to the Southern Avenue SE Corridor between Wheeler Road SE and Eastern Avenue NE. The Kimley-Horn team assessed existing conditions of the corridor and analyze signalized and unsignalized intersection evaluations as well as corridor overview mapping to prioritize high crash frequency locations. The team then performed a detailed crash analysis for the corridor and will ultimately evaluate 18 signalized intersections in Synchro. For the initial segment between Pennsylvania Avenue SE and Benning Road SE, Kimley-Horn has prepared two corridor alternatives to narrow the effective travel width of the roadway, incorporating a variety of safety enhancements for pedestrians and bicyclists based on the crash analysis and community feedback. Considering the outcomes of the crash and intersection operations analyses, Kimley-Horn is now identifying safety improvements for each intersection.

City of Charlotte, Vision Zero Community Engagement Consulting Services, Charlotte, CA Kimley-Horn and Civility Localized supported the Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) with creating and executing a Vision Zero engagement strategy. As part of the project, we collaborated with CDOT staff to effectively engage with Charlotte communities, particularly those located along the high-injury network (HIN) and from minority and low-income neighborhoods. Often, these engagement efforts required tailored messaging based on the cultural, generational, and socioeconomic status of the participants. A digital survey designed to help City staff gain an awareness of the public’s knowledge of Vision Zero and to increase participants’ understanding of Vision Zero and its goals was key to this process. Kimley-Horn also designed marketing and communications collateral to advertise Vision Zero engagement events. At the end of the process, Kimley-Horn developed an engagement summary that gave an at-a-glance summary of each Vision Zero engagement event, the number of people engaged, and an interactive map that showed where each event was located.

City of Fort Worth, Vision Zero Safety Action Plan, Fort Worth, TX In 2019, the City of Fort Worth approved the Vision Zero Plan to commit the City toward eliminating all traffic fatalities and serious injuries. In support of this effort, the City selected Kimley-Horn in 2020 to follow a data driven analysis process to create the City’s HIN. Collision data for the most recent five years was collected and geospatially mapped to provide a representation of the density of collisions along the City’s transportation network. The collision data was analyzed by all collisions at a high-level, and by-mode for vehicle-only, pedestrians, and bicycles. Outputs from this analysis were used to identify the segments of the transportation network with the highest density of collisions. These segments were then evaluated, and those that rose to the top-ranking percentage for each mode were identified as the HIN.

Our team identified priority corridors to focus evaluation and implementation of safety countermeasures. Over the next year, our team plans to complete road safety audits to implement proven countermeasures along each corridor, which can then be applied systemically to similar locations throughout the City as proactive preventative measures during the implementation of the Vision Zero Plan.

City of Minneapolis, Vision Zero Action Plan, Minneapolis, MN Kimley-Horn completed a comprehensive analysis of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle crashes for the City of Minneapolis that utilized 10 years of data to identify trends, contributing factors, and characteristics of more than 40,000 crashes. The Vision Zero Crash Study identified HINs for each mode of travel and made connections between crashes and infrastructure types, street geometry, and demographics. The results of the study were used by the city to guide capital programming and to inform the Vision Zero Action Plan. Kimley-Horn supported the development of the city’s Vision Zero Action Plan, defined the High Injury street network, and conducted technical analysis to support an equitable approach to implementation.

City of Hoboken, Vision Zero Action Plan, Hoboken, NJ
Kimley-Horn partnered with the City of Hoboken to develop the Vision Zero Action Plan. Kimley-Horn first completed a review of vision zero policies of five peer agencies across the country. This review provided a framework that guided the development of the Action Plan for the City of Hoboken. Subsequently, Kimley-Horn completed a review of existing planning and design documents previously established by the City of Hoboken to document vision zero related policy, planning and design elements in order to identify how existing content supported or distracted from the goal of eliminating injury collisions in Hoboken. Following these efforts, Kimley-Horn led the citywide safety evaluation of historical crash data to identify hotspots and trends. The crash analysis also considered potential impacts of crash activity on disadvantaged populations.

The resulting memo provided the City with a comprehensive overview of trends and patterns in the City and a reference to where focused attention might be required for crash mitigation. The efforts completed by Kimley-Horn supported the project team in establishing the Vision Zero Action Plan.

City of Hillsborough, Mango Road Vision Zero HIN Corridor Study and Design, Tampa, FL Kimley-Horn was selected to conduct the Mango Road Vision Zero Corridor Development Study and Design Project in response to Hillsborough County’s Vision Zero Action Plan.

Mango Road was identified as a High Injury Network corridor due to a concerning number of injury crashes. This study encompassed crash analysis, road safety audits, public engagement, and the development of high-level recommendations. The primary goal was to enhance safety and mobility for all roadway users, aligning with the Vision Zero initiative, incorporating Complete Streets concepts, and implementing speed management strategies.

At the conclusion of the MPO study, Kimley-Horn was retained by the County to conduct a project development report and prepare preliminary design plans for the Mango Road corridor. This multifaceted project involved an assessment of crash trends, an evaluation of roadway improvement alternatives to enhance safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists, and the development of multitiered corridor improvements. Kimley-Horn identified opportunities for low-cost safety enhancements, conducted site observations, and coordinated technical discussions with Hillsborough County staff to prioritize improvements based upon budget constraints.

County’s goals. The project evaluated typical section alternatives for pedestrian and bicycle networks, collected crucial traffic data, and culminated in 30% design plans. Kimley-Horn was recently selected to prepare final design plans for Tier 2 corridor improvements.

City of San Antonio, Vision Zero Traffic Calming Projects, San Antonio, TX Kimley-Horn developed design documents for improvements at more than 10 locations as part of the Vision Zero initiative. The improvements have included z-crossings with pedestrian- actuated warning devices, a pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) traffic signal, other crosswalk enhancements, and access management applications. The placement and design of each of these pedestrian enhancements required careful review of crash history and vehicular circulation patterns. When encouraging pedestrians to use a provided enhancement, it is important to understand their destinations. The best designed crossing will not get used if people have to walk out of the way to reach it. Kimley-Horn’s design process includes close coordination with stakeholders, and on many of our projects we actually coordinate an adjustment to the bus stop location to get the most desirable relationship to the crossing to encourage its use.

SS4A LRSP Safety Plan Projects

City Riverside, LRSP , Riverside, CA
As the prime consultant, Kimley-Horn developed an LRSP for the City of Riverside. This plan analyzed crash histories for every intersection and roadway segment in the city, and compared their relative crash rates, patterns and severities. This analysis allowed us to identify key safety emphasis areas, high crash locations, and high- risk locations, and develop a citywide toolbox of safety countermeasures to minimize crash activity. The plan included stakeholder outreach and a review of the City of Riverside’s policies and programs for best practices and opportunities for enhancement. As part of this LRSP , we prepared an HSIP Cycle 11 application for the construction of a raised median and upgrade signal systems for the Mission Inn Corridor. The project cost was estimated to be $9,018,200, and the City was awarded $7,815,420 in funding for the project.

County of San Benito, LRSP , San Benito County, CA
Kimley-Horn developed a Local Road Safety Plan for
San Benito County inclusive of the City of Hollister
and City of San Juan Bautista. The project included a
systemic evaluation of intersection and roadway safety
that identified high crash locations, high risk locations, and locations with unusual crash patterns stratified
by jurisdiction. The Kimley-Horn team worked with
representatives and stakeholders from the County and
Cities to select localized safety emphasis areas that could be prioritized for implementation, reducing the number of fatal and serious injury crashes countywide. The final report addressed safety needs countywide, and included sections on the specific needs of each jurisdiction. “I’ve loved working with Kimley Horn on this project. They have done a great job keeping the project moving on time and on budget.

The team has also been great to work with. Their work is high quality, communication clear, and product is immediately usable.

They went the extra mile in assisting us with two HSIP applications this cycle based on their draft report, and we would have been unable to take on the extra work of those without their help. I’d highly recommend their team.” –
Claire Gallogly, Transportation Planner, City of Santa Cruz

Ability and Available Resources to Perform the Requested Services Our team members are in an excellent position to perform and complete the City of Monterey Park Vision Zero Plan, and can meet all requirements set forth in the scope of services in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Kimley-Horn uses a workload forecasting technique (known as our cast-ahead process) to determine workload requirements by division, office, and region, thus promoting a work flow that meets our agreed upon schedule and budget. Our cast-ahead forecast is an internal, propriety software that summarizes every active Kimley-Horn project. Our OPCs manage our cast-aheads to provide an accurate projection of staffing needs and overloads with detailed information for the upcoming month and a summary of up to the next six months. Kimley-Horn’s production managers use this tool to facilitate the shifting and balancing of work across our
entire firm based on workload needs
to meet demands—whether that
involves physically transferring work
power or enabling someone to work
remotely on a project from anywhere
in the country. This cast-ahead
process enables us to assign ample
staff and technical resources to
complete each project on time and to
our clients’ satisfaction.

Capacity for Additional Resources
Kimley-Horn has more than 10,000 employees
across our 145 nationwide offices, including our
800+ personnel based in our 15 California offices.

We understand the importance of availability and
responsiveness to successfully deliver projects.

Kimley-Horn not only possesses the necessary talent
and resources to provide highly responsive service
and exceed your expectations, but we are intentionally
organized to activate these resources for your benefit.

Our firm uniquely operates with a “single-business
unit” methodology, meaning our various offices do not
function as individual cost centers, as seen in other large consulting firms.

As a 100% privately-held, employee-owned firm,
collaboration across our offices and in-house disciplines is ingrained in the very DNA of Kimley-Horn; it is a
foundational aspect of the firm’s business operations,
leading to an unparalleled level of efficiency and
collaboration. Without needing to jump through
corporate hoops that create conflict, your trusted
project managers and key points of contact have the
freedom to access and draw upon this deep bench
of qualified professionals, “shifting” personnel and
resources as projects demand at no additional cost or
schedule delay to you.

Shifting refers to Kimley-Horn’s ability to use resources throughout the firm to work on client projects. Our clients benefit from shifting because they are able to receive the full strength and experience of our firm no matter where someone “sits.” Separate Kimley-Horn teams never compete for a project. Instead, we combine staff from various locations to make the best team for the client. Through shifting, we are able to select resources and talents that best meet our clients’ needs. At times, this allows us to make commitments to clients that our competition cannot— because we are confident that we have resources, via shifts, to meet them. Project managers can feel empowered when making these commitments, knowing that the full firm is there for support.

6. REFERENCES
Metro, Safe Streets, Data Sharing, Collaboration Policy and Action Plan, Los Angeles, CA Kimley-Horn and Lemmon Planning are supporting Metro in its implementation of the Safe Streets, Data Sharing, Collaboration Policy, and Action Plan through technical assistance for the various regional safety action items and implementation of a Regional Safety Action Plan, in support of Vision Zero objectives. the project involves extensive coordination with internal Metro stakeholders and external partner agencies to inventory and integrate a variety of data sources into a single regional database. The project team is also responsible for developing annual reports that outline the progress of policy implementation and the reduction in traffic injuries and fatalities. This Regional Vision Zero strategy is funded by the master grant of which Monterey Park is a participant.

City of Bakersfield, Active Transportation Plan (ATP), Bakersfield, CA Kimley-Horn is working with the City of Bakersfield to develop a comprehensive ATP that will inform the City’s Capital Improvement Program for the next 10 years. The plan supports the development of a long-term vision for a citywide bicycle and pedestrian system, identifies gaps in the current network, and prioritizes improvements to enhance multimodal transportation opportunities and provide a more equitable transportation system in preparation for the upcoming citywide Vision Zero program.

As part of the ATP’s implementation, Kimley-Horn organized and led the Bakersfield Active Transportation Summit and Festival Spotlight, an exciting and creative engagement event that drew over 500 participants. This event successfully engaged a diverse audience, providing information about the ATP while fostering collaboration with local community organizations and stakeholders. Additionally, innovative virtual outreach tools were integrated into the engagement process, helping to shape the Vision Plan and ensuring broad and inclusive community participation.

City of Goleta, Vision Zero Strategy, Goleta, CA
The City of Goleta was awarded a SSARP subsidiary grant and selected Kimley-Horn to prepare a SSARP . The SSARP focused on selected major corridors within the City, and was informed by citywide safety performance to determine what crash patterns stand out and lend themselves to cost-effective countermeasures. The selected crash locations will be used to develop template projects that will be part of a toolbox that the City can use to simplify the process of identifying higher risk locations and appropriate treatments citywide. Our staff developed a Vision Zero program and secured federal funding to develop a citywide Vision Zero Plan.

If this form is used, it should be accompanied by the bidder's commitment, contract, or purchase order showing the materials the DBE regular dealer or distributor is supplying.
