PROPERTIES TRUST TO INSTALL, USE, AND MAINTAIN

A PRIVATE SEWER LATERAL ON BAYBAR ROAD
Recommendation:

Fiscal Impact:

The lease agreement will generate revenue in the approximate amount of $9,504 over the 40-year term ($237.60 per year), as summarized below. Revenues received through this lease will be credited to GL Account No. 100.00.0000-47200 (Miscellaneous Revenue) and used for right-of-way maintenance.

License Year Rate ($Annual Fee) Revenue
Sewer 2025-65 $237.60 $9,504
Total Estimated Revenue $9,504
Note, the revenue projected above is an estimate. Actual revenue for this license will be revised every year at the time of payment in accordance with the Wholesale Producer Price Index (1967-100) All Commodities, for the Los Angeles Area, established by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, as it stands on the date the License is granted, shall be taken as the base index upon which the Annual License Fee is computed.

If the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall discontinue the preparation of the said index, using prices prevailing in the year 1967 as a base of 100, and if no transposition table prepared by the Bureau is available, applicable to the year of 1967, then the amount of each annual payment shall be computed by reference to such other price index as may be chosen by the city and the city shall be the sole judge of comparability of successive indices.

LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH CENTERPOINT PROPERTIES TRUST TO INSTALL, USE, AND MAINTAIN A PRIVATE SEWER LATERAL ON BAYBAR ROAD FOR 40 YEARS

Page 2 of 2 ends

Discussion:

On August 10, 2020, Precise Plan of Design No. 555 was approved for CenterPoint Properties Trust to construct a new 40,900 square foot distribution building. The location of the new warehouse was not connected to the Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District. To provide sewer service to the new warehouse, a private sewer lateral (2-inches in diameter) was proposed along Baybar Road to connect to the nearest sewer main on Mission Mill Road.

To allow the construction, use, and maintenance of this sewer lateral, a License Agreement is required to ensure protection and maintenance of City property. The license agreement will be for a term of 40 years.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends approval of a License Agreement with CenterPoint Properties Trust for 40 years, to install, use, and maintain a privately owned 2-inch sanitary sewer lateral force main within the public roadway on Baybar Road, in the amount of $237.60 annually, with an estimated total generated revenue of $9,504 for the next 40 years.

CONTRACT

Page 2 of 4 ends

On October 8, 2024, City Council authorized a budget of $257,897 for CDBG Account No. 280.70.7300-54500-CIP50118 in fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 and 2024-25 CDBG Substantial Amendment No. 2, for the ADA Sidewalk Improvements – CDBG Project CIP No. 50118, which includes ADA sidewalk improvements citywide (81 locations throughout the City). There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund and no additional funding is required at this time.

Discussion:

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes annual concrete improvements, such as repairing and replacing damaged sidewalks, ramps, curbs, gutters, tree removals, and other related upgrades. These improvements are essential for maintaining or enhancing walkability and pedestrian safety (e.g., eliminating tripping hazards). All work will comply with the ADA standards.

The proposed improvements in this contract were prioritized based on sidewalk damage reports submitted by residents and staff. The reported areas are inspected and recorded in a database to document the type and extent of repairs, ensuring their inclusion in the Annual Sidewalk Replacement Project, subject to available funding.

Discussion:

On August 5, 2024, a semi-truck veered off the roadway, causing damage to the vehicular guardrail and fencing on the Telegraph Road Bridge over the Rio Hondo Channel (California Highway Patrol Traffic Crash Report 924-10213-0247-472). In response, Public Works Street Maintenance promptly secured the area by removing loose debris, installing traffic control devices, and closing the southern sidewalk.

On December 18, 2024, additional guardrail damage was discovered in another section of the bridge. This area was also secured by Public Works Staff. The cause of this damage is believed to be from a hit and run accident, as there is no incident report associated with the incident.

The bridge falls within three (3) cities, Pico Rivera, Downey and Commerce. There is a current cooperative agreement that names Pico Rivera to be the leading agency in managing any repairs needed to the bridge. Any costs associated with the bridge will be borne by all three (3) cities according to the percentages of areas within each jurisdiction: 50% Pico Rivera, 27% Downey, and 23% Commerce.

For this reason, Pico Rivera is taking the lead in managing the repair, including funding for the repair. Pico Rivera will pursue a claim against the trucking insurance company for the accident that occurred on August 5, 2024. Any costs not reimbursed by the trucking insurance will be borne by the three (3) cities, divided by the percentages per the cooperative agreement.

The guardrail is a critical safety feature that requires consistent maintenance. To address damage at the two (2) locations, Public Works Staff has initiated emergency repair procedures. Bids were solicited from three (3) contractors, but only Riverside Construction Company submitted a bid, totaling $297,836. Staff reviewed the bid and confirmed Riverside Construction Company’s satisfactory performance on similar projects. Additionally, all necessary documents, including bonds, licenses, and insurance, were verified to be in order. Following emergency protocols, the City Manager approved the immediate commencement of construction. Public Works Staff directed the contractor to begin work (Enclosure 2) and is now providing this report to the Council in accordance with City procurement policy.

The project schedule is as follows:
• Award Contract (Emergency Basis): January 28, 2025
• Complete Construction: March 2025

The estimated budget is shown below:

ITEM ESTIMATED COST
Construction $298,000
Construction Contingency (20%) $45,000
Construction Management $32,000
TOTAL $375,000
Environmental Analysis:

The project has been reviewed for environmental compliance. Pursuant to the CEQA guidelines, the Project is categorically exempt under Section 15302 Class 1(c) for existing facilities (Enclosure 3).

Conclusion:

Staff recommends approving the emergency construction contract with Riverside Construction Company for an amount not to exceed $297,836, authorizing a $45,000 contingency for potential change orders, and appropriating $375,000 from the Liability Claims Fund. Staff also recommends approval of the NOE and filing it with the County Recorder in accordance with CEQA guidelines.

Fund for emergency repair for the Washington Boulevard Bridge over the Rio Hondo Channel. With the City Council’s approval, $246,000 will be allocated from the Unassigned General Fund Balance (100.98.9800-56900) to cover the projected expenses (400.00.0000-47900 and 400.70.7300-54500-CIP.50120). Additionally, an appropriation of $82,000 from Proposition C Fund (206.70.7300-54500-CIP.50120) is required, bringing the total project cost to $328,000.

Discussion:

On August 7, 2024, the reinforced concrete deck of the Washington Boulevard Bridge over the Rio Hondo Channel was damaged when the Major Corridor Beautification (CIP 50075) contractor saw-cut a hole in the deck. Public Works Streets Maintenance secured the area with a steel plate cover, placed caution devices, and closed the westbound left-turn-only lane onto Bluff Road. The bridge repair is essential to the existing bridge and will support detours during construction of the future bridge replacement project (CIP No. 21285).

Public Works Staff proceeded under emergency repair procedures, soliciting bids from three (3) experienced bridge contractors. From this solicitation, two (2) bids were received as follows:

Construction Company Bid Amount
Griffith Company $243,112
Powell Constructors $279,976
Griffith Company submitted the lowest bid at $243,112. Staff reviewed the bids and determined Griffith Company to be the lowest responsible bidder, verifying their satisfactory performance on similar projects. All required documents, including bonds, licenses, and insurance, are in order.

The City Manager authorized the start of construction on an emergency basis, subject to City Council approval. The project schedule is as follows:
• Award Contract (Emergency Basis): January 28, 2025
• Complete Construction: April 2025

Estimated Project Budget:

Project Expenditures Amount
Design $9,995
Construction $244,000
Contingency (20%) $49,000
Construction Management and Inspection $20,000
Project Administration $5,005
Total Estimated Project Cost $328,000
Environmental Analysis:

The project has been reviewed for environmental compliance. Pursuant to the CEQA guidelines, the Project is categorically exempt under Section 15302 Class 1(c) for existing facilities.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Griffith Construction Company for a not-to-exceed amount of $243,112 and authorizing a contingency of $49,000 for potential change orders. Staff also recommends approval of an appropriation of $246,000 from FY 2023-24 Unassigned General Fund Balance, amend the fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 adopted budget by appropriating $82,000 in Proposition C Fund (Fund 206) to Account No.206.70.7300.54500-CIP50120, and approval of the NOE and filing it with the County Recorder in accordance with CEQA guidelines.

• Increasing the share of trips by walking and biking.
• Improving the safety and mobility of non-motorized users. • Advancing regional greenhouse gas reduction goals.
• Enhancing public health.
• Supporting projects that benefit diverse users, including disadvantaged communities.

The ATP Master Plan will assess existing road conditions, analyze collision data, identify safety concerns, engage the community to recommend education and encouragement programs, and prioritize safety improvement projects. The plan will guide the development of future safety programs and infrastructure improvements, strategically enhancing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The implementation of these recommendations will boost connectivity, safety, and efficiency.

This plan emphasizes the creation of the Complete Streets Plan which is an approach to planning, designing, building, operating, and maintaining streets that enables safe access for all people who need to use them, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and all transit riders of all ages and abilities.. It will look to connect key locations such as homes, schools, parks, and job centers, while linking to the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel River bike paths. Additionally, the ATP Master Plan will serve as a foundation for updating the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and the 2014 General Plan Circulation Element. It will also promote educational programs like bike safety classes, mechanical workshops, and open streets events.

To initiate the plan’s development, an engineering consultant is required. On July 23, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) through Planet Bids. Six (6) proposals were received by August 21, 2024. A technical panel of Public Works and Administration staff evaluated the proposals using qualifications-based criteria, such as team expertise, relevant experience, and understanding of the project’s requirements.

A summary of the rankings is provided below. Fehr & Peers received the highest ranking from the panel.

Engineering services funded by the State require adherence to Chapter 10 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual, which mandates awarding contracts to the highest-ranked consultant following a qualifications-based selection process. The City negotiated a fee of $410,000 with Fehr & Peers, deemed reasonable for the scope of services.

The total project budget is summarized as follows:

Budget Funding Estimated Budget
ATP State Funds (Fund 699) FY 24-25 $411,000
TDA (Fund 210) FY 24-25 $30,000
Additional TDA (Fund 210) Appropriation $70,000
Total Project Budget: $511,000
Completion of the ATP Master Plan is expected by June 2026. The finalized plan will support future funding applications for active transportation improvements citywide.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends awarding the professional services agreement to Fehr & Peers for $410,000 and amending the FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget by appropriating $70,000 in TDA funds (Fund 210) to proceed with the ATP Master and authorize the City Manager or his designee to process change orders, as-needed, not exceeding a contingency amount of $41,000 (approximately 10% of the total contract amount).

Subject: Proposal for Active Transportation Master Plan, NONCIP NO. 30058, ATPL-5351 (046) Dear Noe Negrete,
Congratulations on your receipt of the Active Transportation Program (ATP) funding! This ongoing investment offers Pico Rivera the opportunity to build off the City’s recent success obtaining funds for the Pico Rivera PAD Park Project, Speedway Alley Enhancements, studying bus rapid transit options along Rosemead Boulevard, and Whittier Boulevard trail connections.

All of which will enhance and strengthen the quality of life Pico Rivera delivers. In addition, this plan will complement several recent specific plans and stands to receive substantial regional infrastructure investment from the Eastside Phase 2 Extension, with a light rail station at Rosemead Boulevard & Washington Boulevard that will soon have hundreds, if not thousands more people arriving and departing the City without a vehicle. This effort will build on these recent and coming investments to shape multimodal infrastructure, identify and address the City’s High Injury Network, and develop strategies that help make it more convenient and safe to reach destinations such as schools, parks, retail destinations, banquet halls, and transit stops on foot or bike.

We would be honored to be your partner and technical advisor as you embark on this critical effort to create fundamental and lasting impact on mobility in Pico Rivera.

Fehr & Peers is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare Pico Rivera’s Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP). Like your staff and community members, our team understands the importance of access to convenient transportation options for all who live, work, and spend time in Pico Rivera. Fehr & Peers brings decades of experience in multimodal transportation planning experience. Unlike other transportation firms who focus exclusively on transit, pedestrians, bicyclists, or the motoring public, we regularly work on complex projects that require an objective approach to evaluating options and understanding and communicating tradeoffs with the local community.

As a fluent Spanish speaker and having the experience of walking, biking, and driving thousands of miles in the area, Miguel is uniquely suited to serve City staff and residents to help complete this critical effort and implement multimodal and first/last-mile enhancements. In addition to Fehr & Peers, we are glad to partner with:

2022-2024
Fehr & Peers led the bikeway feasibility
guidelines and analysis for the Los Angeles
County Bicycle Master Plan Update. The
County adopted a Bicycle Master Plan in 2012
that the laid the foundation for enhancing
bicycle connectivity, accessibility, and safety
in unincorporated communities of Los Angeles
County, and proposed over 800 miles of new
bikeways to implemented by 2032. As a part
of this update, Fehr & Peers conducted an
analysis that assessed geometric feasibility
of proposed bikeways from the 2012 plan
that have not yet been built. The feasibility
assessment suggested the base suggested
bikeway facility per FHWA Bikeway Design
Guidelines for County-maintained roads, and
assigned a feasibility score to both the base
suggest facility and proposed facility from
the 2012 Plan. Scores were based on existing
lane configuration, curb-to-curb width, total
available right-of-way, and other factors. Fehr
& Peers developed both an Excel-based and
an interactive dashboard for County staff to
assess feasibility of on- and off-street bikeways
under existing conditions on any Countymaintained road.

Clark Avenue Complete Street PS&E
2023-Ongoing
Fehr & Peers is leading the preparation of
signing, striping, and signal modification plans
for the construction of a 2.7 mile protected
bikeway on Clark Avenue between Anaheim
Street and Monlaco Road. The design
includes complete streets elements such as
curb extensions, bus boarding islands and
protected intersections, and a roundabout
is being studied at a complex six-legged
intersection. Clark Avenue will provide a
multi-modal connection between Cal State
Long Beach’s Beachside Campus housing and
other student housing in the area, to both Long
Beach City College on Clark Avenue, and Cal
State Long Beach’s main campus via Atherton
Street. The protected bike facility includes a
mix of two way and one way facilities, with the
crossover using bike signals at a protected
intersection at Willow Street and Clark Avenue.

Beyond the two-way section, which will feature
raised medians, the facility will use the City’s
quick-build concrete raised separators. Fehr
& Peers conducted a traffic operational
analysis to determine how lane repurposing
will affect travel time on the corridor. As part
of the evaluation of the roundabout, Fehr &
Peers is developing a Vissim simulation model
to test configuration options. Fehr & Peers will
prepare a project fact sheet with renderings
and operations data to highlight the benefits
and tradeoffs associated with the project for
use in community outreach.

City of Downey Active Transportation Plan
2019-2021
Fehr & Peers led the development of the
Downey Citywide Pedestrian Plan, also known
as Walk Downey. Fehr & Peers undertook
the development of existing conditions,
collision analysis, countermeasure toolbox
development, a crosswalk policy, and the
identification of 10 priority projects for which
concept plans were developed. The project
included a robust outreach process, with a
combination of traditional workshops and local
pop-ups in the downtown Downey area. The
pedestrian plan, which included a crosswalk
policy, improvement toolbox, wayfinding
program, planning level cost estimates, and
an implementation strategy, was developed.

Fehr & Peers completed the City’s Bicycle Plan
and wrote a grant that helped the City obtain
Metro funding to implement over 10 miles of
bike lanes, bicycle parking, and wayfinding
signs. The Walk Downey plan was intended
to follow a similar approach for effective
positioning of the City to receive grant funding
for implementation.

SBCTA Pedestrian Connectivity Phase 1
2022-2024
Fehr & Peers was selected by SBCTA to
lead Phase II of the Pedestrian Sidewalk
Connectivity project. Phase I of this project,
which Fehr & Peers also supported, provided
a countywide sidewalk inventory with basic
information such as sidewalk locations and
widths. Phase II of this project included the
collection of detailed accessibility data using
sophisticated sidewalk and curb ramp profiling
equipment in high priority areas for each of
the County’s 25 jurisdictions. Machine vision
technology was applied to high resolution
aerial imagery to extract different assets
within and adjacent to the public rights-ofway including street trees and canopies, marked parking stalls, bike lanes/shoulders,
medians, and bus shelters. The final product
will support regional pedestrian planning
efforts and ADA transition planning for local
jurisdictions.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
We are ready to address the challenges of
mobility safety and to plan proactively for future
concerns and opportunities. After all, traffic
collisions are the #1 leading cause of death of
children (5-14) in LA County and the second
leading cause of death for people aged one
to four and 15-44 years old. We are up to the
challenge of this project. Through a preliminary
look at historical collision data (2021-2023) in
Pico Rivera, we have found:
• 13 fatalities and 79 severe injuries resulting
from crashes (~540 crashes over 3 years)
• Unsafe speeds was the primary collision
factor for 33% (~180 of 540 crashes), a distant
second was vehicles not observing right-ofway at 17% (~90 of 540 crashes) - meaning at least half of collisions involving all modes are
caused by improper driver behavior
• A large proportion of pedestrian-involved
injury collisions occurred in marked
crosswalks and of bicycle-involved injury
collisions occurred at intersections - this
suggests that intersections and crossings are
important locations to focus on and can apply
Safe System strategies of separating users in
time and space at intersections
• While people walking or biking are often
overrepresented in injury collisions, the
greatest number of collisions involve people
driving and people of all ages and genders –
this is plan is for making everyone safer, not
just people who are biking or walking.

We’ve tailored our approach to ensure
crosswalks and intersections get the attention
they deserve in Pico Rivera. This is just one
example of how we will take a data-driven
approach to addressing safety and comfort
for the City’s most vulnerable street users.

As Pico Rivera has identified through their
analysis for the grant application, this effort can
help address local challenges like improving
access to the new light rail station, roadway
design strategies to help reduce collisions near
schools, slow traffic, and leverage additional
investments in mobility that can shift travel
modes while promoting sustainability and
economic development in the City.

Safety is a key area that will underpin this plan.

Our staff hold leadership positions on national
safety committees, including the ITE Safety
Council, the ITE Complete Streets Council, the
ITE Vision Zero Task Force, and several bicycle
and pedestrian TRB committees. Over the
past decade, we have worked with nearly 100
jurisdictions in California alone on multi-modal
safety planning. Fehr & Peers partnered with
the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE),
Vision Zero Network, and Leidos to work with
the Federal Highway Administration Office
of Safety to develop educational materials
(a brochure, a training course, and a video)
launching FHWA’s Safe System approach.

In 2021, Fehr & Peers co-authored the
FHWA Primer on Safe System Approach for
Pedestrians and Bicyclists. The report includes
a benchmarking tool in the appendix that can
be used to assess key ped/bike opportunities
in a community to move toward Safe System,
which was based on our earlier work for FHWA
on incorporating Safe System into the Strategic
Highway Safety Plan and Highway Safety
Improvement Plan.

Two more areas of technical expertise
and innovation we will bring to bear
on this effort include:

Harnessing data and online mapping tools
The data and analysis from the Safe System
approach and this plan are less meaningful and
useful if not understandable and accessible
to City staff and stakeholders. For analysis in
Tasks 2 and 5 we will develop online story maps
that will allow staff to review data, analysis, and
network development. This is helpful for ground
truthing and dynamic review that allows the user
to focus on geographic areas, modes, or data
inputs instead of relying on static maps. The
scope below describes several examples where
this has been employed around the country and
that can be reviewed with this proposal.

Multimodal Analysis
Fehr & Peers has employed a number of
multimodal analysis approaches over the years.

While intersection LOS analysis is generally
standardized per the Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM) and there is an HCM suggested
approach for multimodal level of service, the
bicycle and pedestrian components tend to be
data intensive, costly to implement, and are not
sensitive to many of the improvement strategies
associated with enhancing the multimodal
environment, such as shade and road diets.

There are also methodologies such as the
Pedestrian and Bicycle Environmental Quality
Indices (PEQI and BEQI) and approaches
developed by Cities like Fort Collins and Aspen.

Our Project Manager, Miguel, developed the
City of Aspen’s multimodal level of service
approach based on a built environment factors
approach that implements a simpler pointsbased system aimed at scoring conditions based on the presence of desirable/undesirable
conditions and infrastructure to incentivize the
development and implementation of desired
interventions. Our team will work with staff to
inform the appropriate tool and approach for the
pedestrian comfort and bicycle LTS. We have
developed our own internal tool that applies LTS
methodologies and we will also work with City
staff to review and confirm the parameters of
that analysis.

With roots as a multimodal firm – we have
a long history of serving local agencies;
staff included in this proposal have worked
Pico Rivera staff to complete the Historic
Whittier Boulevard Specific Plan (HWBSP)
and developed the City’s VMT Guidelines.

We developed the award-winning Pedestrian
and Safety Assessment program now in
use throughout California; teach multimodal
safety and complete streets courses at the
regional, state and national level; and wrote
ITE’s recommended practice on how to safely
accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians
in freeway interchange areas. Our deep
understanding of these efforts uniquely
positions us to efficiently assist the City
with its goal of enhancing public health and
mobility through active streets and multimodal
connectivity. As you have seen, we have already
started to dig into local collisions and plans to
better understand local conditions.

We have had the privilege to be trusted
partners to lead similar efforts for Downey, Los
Angeles, San Diego, Metro, West Hollywood,
Huntington Park, El Monte Union High School
District, Covina, Sacramento, and Pomona,
to name a few. As you will see through our
scope, qualifications, and sample images, we
pride ourselves on balancing technical analysis
with high-quality visual communications and
local experts with national experience. While
we offer state of the art analysis tools and the
latest Safe System innovations from FHWA,
we will also employ a community centered
approach based on deep local knowledge and
experience. We are particularly excited about
the opportunity to leverage local opportunities
such as:

existing and future bicycle, pedestrian, and
transit facilities such as the Rio Hondo, San
Gabriel River, Whittier Narrows Recreation
Area, Pio Pico Historic State Park, and
Washington Boulevard Light Rail
› Opportunities to enhance open space
and provide areas to engage in safe physical
activity through the provision of bicycle
facilities, repurposing redundant road
space to provide plazas and parklets, and
improving access to destinations such as
parks, schools, senior centers, community
centers and gathering spaces
› According to the Los Angeles County Tree
Canopy Advanced Viewer developed at
Loyola Marymount University tree canopy
in Pico Rivera is 12%, roughly 6% lower than
the LA County average. With increasing
temperatures and an aging population,
shade must be provided to make the
walking environment inviting and appealing
to users of all ages and abilities. This is
particularly important for pedestrians and
transit riders.
› Addressing perceptions around
challenges with parking and walking/biking
distances – for the HWBSP we regularly
heard concerns about parking despite the
fact that there are hundreds of off-street
parking spaces that have been found to
be underutilized in the City’s parking study.

At the same time, people living nearby
indicated that it was hard to find parking
and indicated living within a couple miles
of the study area. While walking, biking,
or transit won’t be viable for everyone,
improving comfort, safety, and ease of use
can help address a variety of issues such
as parking, access to open space, public
health, improved air quality, greater sense of
community, and economic vitality.
› Pico Rivera has tons of local assets
such as Brewjeria, American Legion,
IdeaLab, future PAD Park, neighborhood
parks, adjacent regional bicycle paths
and recreational areas, and an active and
invested local community of residents,
youth, and local businesses
As you will see in our proposal, our intent is to
use the analysis, network/project development,
and engagement components of this effort
to support the City in its ongoing efforts to
enhance the environment, infrastructure, and
quality of life for existing residents. Anticipated
challenges include limited funding, limited
right-of-way, and concerns over impacts to
parking, congestion, and gentrification. We
are ready to facilitate the development of
metrics and a process that delivers strong
technical analysis, digestible project materials,
cultural competency, language access, and a
community driven process.

Our PMP will include the following:
› Overall project schedule
› Monthly project team meetings (18 meetings
for the 18-month schedule)
› File sharing system and approach

TASK 2
Existing Conditions, Data
Collection, and Analysis
Fehr & Peers will undertake a comprehensive
review of existing conditions relevant to the
Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP). This
review, data collection effort, and analysis will
involve the following key activities.

Reviewing of Existing Plans and Projects
The Fehr & Peers team is already familiar with
national and state best practices in active
transportation planning and complete streets
design, and we will incorporate appropriate
best practices into the ATMP. In addition to the
documents listed in the RFP, we will conduct
a thorough inventory of other relevant existing
plans, studies, and projects impacting active
transportation within the City of Pico Rivera
such as the City’s Climate Action Plan and
Historic Whittier Boulevard Multimodal Plan.

We will review the collected plans, studies, and
projects to identify any gaps or inconsistencies
within each planning effort, including
recognizing areas where additional studies may
be necessary to support future planning and
implementation. We will also examine relevant
regional, countywide, and adjacent local bicycle
and pedestrian plans, including countywide bike
plans, to assess:
• Connectivity: Ensure that the City’s plans
are aligned with and effectively integrate into
broader regional and countywide bicycle and
pedestrian networks.
• Continuity: Verify that the ATMP promotes
seamless connectivity across jurisdictional
boundaries, supporting a coherent and unified
active transportation network.
• Consistency: Evaluate the consistency of
the City’s proposed programs with regional
strategies, goals, and policies.

Fehr & Peers will incorporate applicable policies
and strategies from the reviewed documents
into the ATMP. This will ensure that the Plan’s
components are fully aligned with and support
broader regional and countywide transportation
strategies.

Basemaps and GIS
Fehr & Peers will collect, review, and utilize
GIS data to develop project basemaps and
relevant exhibits. This includes data on existing
TASK 1
Project Management
Fehr & Peers will serve as the lead for
the overall project administration and
coordination with the City of Pico Rivera. As
Project Manager, Miguel Núñez will lead the
development of the Project Management Plan
(PMP) that will outline the overall strategic
direction, workload, and resource assignments
of the technical team. The PMP will host the
scope of work and project schedule, and be
treated as a living document, regularly updated
as the project progresses and introduced
at the project kick-off meeting. The kick-off
also presents an opportunity to establish
the primary points of contact and submit our
data request to City staff. We will develop an
agenda and work with staff to schedule the
meeting.

18 CIT Y OF PICO RIVERA ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PL AN N O N C I P N O. 3 0 0 5 8 , AT P L- 5 3 51 (0 4 6) | F E H R & P E E R S P R O P O S A L 19 infrastructure, land use, trip generators, points
of interest (POI), travel patterns, and demand.

We will use a hybrid static and dynamic
mapping approach that involves the creation
of both static and web-based (dynamic)
basemaps. Static basemaps are effective
tools for communicating key information in
printed documents for use in community and
stakeholder engagement activities (Task 3) and
in the Master Plan document (Task 7). Dynamic
basemaps provide an interactive experience
with the data, allowing for real-time exploration
and interaction with specific features in
the basemap, and allow users to create a
customized view of the basemap based on their
interests. Basemaps include:
• Bicycle Network Map: Existing bicycle
facilities within the community, including
bike lanes, trails, and bike racks. This map
will highlight gaps in the bicycle network and
areas where improvements are needed.
• Pedestrian Network Map: Existing pedestrian
facilities such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and
pedestrian pathways. Focus on identifying
gaps in the pedestrian network, particularly
around priority destinations (e.g., schools,
parks, shopping centers) and areas requiring
ADA improvements (e.g., ramps, sidewalks).
• Transit Network Map: Existing transit routes,
stops, and other related transit infrastructure.
• Land Use Map: Land use, including residential
neighborhoods, schools, shopping centers,
public facilities, and areas of projected
residential/commercial development.
• Non-Motorized Demand and Comfort Map:

Existing and potential future (latent) demand
for bicycling and walking, bicycle Level of
Traffic Stress (LTS), and pedestrian Level of
Comfort (LOC).

Fehr & Peers will develop a StoryMap that
integrates basemaps, data, and analysis
results of all existing conditions subtasks.

This will allow the City to dynamically explore
the data geographically, establishing a clear
understanding of the spatial relationships and
patterns that influence active transportation.

This StoryMap will have the ability to be shared
publicly, if the City wishes to provide public level
viewing and interaction.

Field Review
Fehr & Peers will conduct a comprehensive field
assessment throughout the City to evaluate
current conditions and identify key factors
affecting active transportation. This assessment
will include on-site evaluations to capture and
document existing bicycle, pedestrian, and
transit infrastructure conditions, observations of
non-motorized behaviors and how users interact
with motor vehicles, and further identification of
infrastructure gaps that may affect the safety of
the existing active transportation network.

Our team believes strongly that good planning
cannot be done without spending a lot of time
in the field. We anticipate using individual task
budgets to conduct additional fieldwork as
needed throughout the project, particularly
during the development of projects in Task 5.

We also consider every in-person outreach
activity as an opportunity to conduct additional
fieldwork before and after each event.

Data Collection (Counts)
Fehr & Peers will collect traffic, bicycle, and
pedestrian counts at up to 20 key locations
throughout the City, up to two (2) times in a
year. These counts will support the existing
conditions analysis, facility analysis and project
selection (Task 5), and overall, Master Plan.

Collecting intersection peak hour counts
with vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians costs
$200-$500 dollars per location, depending
on the size and level of activity. Daily vehicle
counts range in cost from $75-$150 dollars
for segments depending on whether it is just
volume or volume and speed. Pedestrian and
bike screenlines vary in price based on location
and duration. We are proposing to include
20 locations, two times, and have budgeted
$12,000 (20 * 2 * $300 = $12,000) for counts
assuming an average of $300 dollars per
location each time counts are procured for this
effort. While data is important, we’d explore
reducing the scope of this effort with City staff
while providing valuable data. One idea is to
take the 20 baseline intersection counts and
then use subsequent counts for segments in
key areas to evaluate how activity changes
over time or during engagement events such
as community bike rides. While it entails
additional cost, we would also discuss adding
demographic data to the counts such as:
› Number of children and women in
pedestrian/bike counts
› Use of helmets in bike counts
› Number of wrong way riders in bike
counts
› Number of wheelchairs, strollers, or bikes
on the sidewalk in pedestrian counts
Collision Data
Fehr & Peers will obtain the five most recent
years of available, non-provisional certified
collision data on Pico Rivera streets from the
UC Berkely SafeTREC Transportation Injury
Mapping System (TIMS). Should City staff want
a more extensive historical collision analysis,
more years of TIMS data can be obtained too.

The collision analysis will emphasize fatal and
serious injury pedestrian- and bicyclist-involved
collisions and identify collision factors that
contributed to them. We will develop up to three
(3) High Injury Networks (HIN), one for each
non-motorized mode, and one composite HIN
for all modes. The data and resulting HINs will
be used to identify locations with the highest
concentrations of serious and fatal injuries and
countermeasures to be developed into larger
projects in Task 5.

Operational Analysis #1
Fehr & Peers will use a variety of both
proprietary and publicly available datasets to
better understand existing and potential future
(latent) demand for bicycling and walking, as
well as bicycle Level of Traffic Streets (LTS),
pedestrian Level of Comfort (LOC), and vehicle
delay/Level of Service (LOS) to establish

In addition to the bicycle LTS, pedestrian LOC,
and LOS analyses, we believe conducting a
citywide suitability and demand analyses would
complement them by enhancing the contextual
understanding of existing and future bicycle and
pedestrian infrastructure and propensity. We
intend to collect or purchase most of this data
to be used in these analyses early in the process
so that it can be used to inform as many tasks as
possible. The tools and data sources described
below will be used for the Existing Conditions
Analysis (Task 3) and the Facility Selection and
Analysis (Task 5).

ACS – Journey to Work
The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community
Survey (ACS) commuter or “journey to work”
data can provide a good sense of the levels of
commuting by bicycle or on foot. We will map
this data to better understand citywide trends.

Active Transportation Suitability
Fehr & Peers has developed a data layer for
the entire United States that uses various
socioeconomic data to estimate the suitability
for local populations to use active transportation
if adequate infrastructure was provided. This
will be one of the various custom tools and
data sources we will use to better understand
current trends.

AllTransit
Transit use has been considered a form of
active transportation by some and is always a
good proxy for pedestrian activity because a
large proportion of transit users access stops
on foot. This data will be used to analyze transit
connectivity, job accessibility via transit, and
commuters who use transit at the Census Block
Group Level.

LEHD/LODES
The Longitudinal Employer-Household
Dynamics (LEHD) and the LEHD Origin and
Destination Employment Statistics (LODES)
data will be used to understand commute
specific travel patterns for residents of the City.

Replica
Replica is a nationwide activity-based model
with details down to the Census block Group
and local street level and provides insight into
human movement and activity patterns across
all community types. It combines multiple
datasets to represent activities and travel
behavior and is updated twice a year. We will
use Replica to estimate mode share at the
Census Block Group level and identify key
origins and destinations within the City.

StreetLight Data
We propose using a targeted origin and
destination dataset from StreetLight that will
identify all trips of a length (3 miles or less)
that could reasonably be made by walking or
bicycling. An advantage of this dataset is that all
trip types and broad cross section of travelers
are captured. One limitation of this dataset is
that it does not provide bicycle and pedestrian
travel patterns beyond May 2022. More recent
data will be acquired from Replica.

Traffic Counts (existing)
Traffic counts are the only accurate reflection of
real demand under current conditions. We will
use the traffic counts collected as part of this
task and request existing traffic counts.

Fehr & Peers developed a proprietary HIN tool
called HINsight, which adopts the industrybest practice sliding window methodology for identifying locations where a disproportionate
number of severe traffic injuries or fatalities
occur. HINsight takes the sliding window
method one step further to create a smoothed
HIN that provides the following benefits:

Fehr & Peers developed Streetscore+ which
is a methodology for assessing comfortbased indices based on active transportation infrastructure. This tool can assist the City For
bicycle facilities, this builds upon the Level
of Traffic Stress Methodology, with target
enhancements to address bike and bicycle
boulevard comfort. This makes Streetscore+
generally consistent with the following best
practice documentation:
• Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design
Guide
• Massachusetts Department of
Transportation Separated Bike Lane Planning
and Design Guide
• National Association of City Transportation
Officials’ (NACTO’s) Urban Bikeway Design
Guide
• NACTO Designing for All Ages and Abilities
For pedestrian facilities, Steetscore+ is
measured based on best practice guidance
documentation, such as:
• NACTO Urban Streets Guide
• FHWA Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety
at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations
• NCHRP 926 Guidance to Improve
Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety at
Intersections
HINsight Streetscore+
• Systemic: Accounts for collision density
downstream and upstream on the roadway
network to uncover systemic patterns.
• Statistically-Driven: Less manual corridor
creation as results are comprised as corridors
instead of standalone blocks.
• Proactive: Can be tailored to include a
vast range of scoring criteria, inclusive of
both collision and contextual factors. This
flexibility allows for the development of HINs
that incorporate a proactive or risk-based
approach, rather than relying solely on
collision history.
• Implementation-Focused: Corridors better
correspond to common project segment
lengths, and longer corridors where collision
patterns and contexts are grouped together
allow for more systemic countermeasure
application.

TASK 3
Community Engagement
Per the scope described in the RFP and
suggestion to consider working with a
community based organization, we are excited
to partner with Day One to lead our team’s
engagement approach and activities. Day One
has experience with similar efforts in the City
and will take the lead on logistics, coordination
with stakeholders, and developing web content,
with support from Fehr & Peers staff. Day
One and Fehr & Peers will collaboratively
develop and coordinate schedules, implement
logistics for events, submit materials (i.e.,
graphics, flyers, webposts) to City staff for
review, attend meetings, and develop meeting
summaries. Fehr & Peers will lead the graphic
design component and take the lead on the
development of technical materials such as
concept plans, tables, maps, and presentations
for engagement events. We anticipate that
events, such as tours and town hall meetings,
would require more staff from the consultant
team staff (4-8) plus agency staff, whereas popups are anticipated to require less consultant staff (2-4). The goal of our community
engagement approach is to follow the lead of
recent City efforts that have worked to uplift
local voices, provide data and create spaces for
robust dialogue that advance the City’s vision
for active transportation, and that is accessible
and imbued with local knowledge, holistic
data collection, cultural competency, and a
community-centered approach.

The following section describes the baseline
approach to delivering the RFPs engagement
scope of work and specifics regarding ideas for
timing, activities, locations, and collaboration
between the consultant team and City staff.

Graphic Design & Collateral Materials
Our team will work closely with the City
to conduct publicity and outreach for the
project. Materials will be produced in English
and Spanish to inform all segments of the
community about the planning process and
how they may participate in developing the
ATMP. This task also includes overall graphic
design support and technical materials used for
meeting presentations, maps, conceptual plans,
and tactical urbanism events. Steps include:
• Produce Materials. Our team will produce
flyers and posters in English and Spanish
publicizing events for community-wide
distribution.
• Disseminate Materials. Materials will be
posted in prominent locations and distributed
in person and online through various
platforms.

Project Committee Meetings
This task in the RFP requests regular meetings
and mentions three groups: a Stakeholder
Advisory Group, Blue Ribbon Committee, and
Technical Advisory Group. Per the RFP we
are proposing quarterly meetings beginning in
January 2025 (please see proposed project
schedule). Due to the potential for meeting
fatigue and overlapping content, we would
suggest combining the Stakeholder Advisory
Group (SAG) and Blue Ribbon Committee to
operate as a single entity, apart from a Technical
Advisory Group (TAG). Our schedule proposes
having the TAG meetings follow one month after
the SAG meetings to allow for inclusion of that
content in the subsequent meeting.

Project meeting agendas and discussion topics
over the course of the project would include:
› Overview of the project, timeline and
milestones
› Role of the corresponding group

of seating, shade, and parklets/plazas,
and increasing awareness around safety
conditions
› Strategies for engaging underserved and
populations and key stakeholders such as
local youth, veterans, artists, elderly, and
individuals with unique access and mobility
needs
Project Webpage and Digital Platform
Enhancement
Day One will lead this task coordinating with
the City of Pico Rivera to design, build and
maintain an online webpage for the project. The
webpage will be used to provide an overview of
the goals and objectives of the AT plan, share
logistical information about participating in the
community design charrette activities, as well
as to gather feedback that can be incorporated
into the plan. Social media engagement
materials will also be utilized to reach additional
stakeholder groups.

Walking and Biking Audits/Tours
Our team will work with City staff to organize
community-friendly, multimodal tours where
residents of all ages are invited to explore their
city’s infrastructure and that of surrounding
areas. These walking and biking audits will
consist of four tours—two within Pico Rivera and
two outside the City. The tours aim to engage
participants in a hands-on evaluation of local
infrastructure, with one special event, the “Taste
of Pico Rivera,” highlighting local businesses
and encouraging community support on the
ATMP. Our initial thinking for these events is that
the two events out of the City would be walking
tours of Cities where multimodal infrastructure
and strategies have been implemented and
align with the desires and aspirations of Pico
Rivera. Because there will be five community
bike rides in Task 5, the two events in the City
would be a walk audit and a bike audit. These
events would be organized around bike/
walking destinations and/or corridors with
concentrations of collisions, activity, or future
development (such as near the future light rail
station).

Our team will develop walk audit maps and
graphics that participants can use to note
challenges, opportunities, and potential
solutions. We would begin each audit with
an overview of the route, what to look out
for, and an overview of Complete Streets
and Safe System components that inform
project development. The walk audit would be
concluded with a share out for participants to
share their takeaways and suggestions. The
audits will be summarized with photos and
participant input.

Town Hall Meetings
Our team will host four community-wide Town
Hall meetings, with at least two held in person
and the others potentially offered virtually.

To maximize accessibility and participation,
these meetings will be scheduled at various
times of the day and on different days of the
week. They will be held in convenient, easily
accessible locations, with translation services
and child-friendly activities provided to ensure
that all residents can engage in the discussions
and contribute their perspectives. Our initial
thinking is that the meetings would be paired to
maximize participation by providing an in-person
and virtual option. The first pair of meetings
would share existing conditions information and
ground truth that information with residents to
identify viable projects and strategies for the
ATMP. The second pair of meetings would
present the draft network and project ideas
for stakeholder input. Our team will develop
the presentations, maps, materials, flyers, and
summaries for each Town Hall meeting.

Community Pop-up Booths
Our team will coordinate up to ten community
pop-up booths at high-traffic locations to
engage and gather input from a diverse range
of residents. By leveraging existing relationships
with community groups in Pico Rivera, we aim
to ensure that all stakeholders can contribute.

Additionally, three of these pop-ups will be held
at the Idea Lab, where residents can participate
in design charrette activities, fostering creative
input and community-driven solutions. Ideas
for pop-up locations include A Taste of Pico
Rivera, Summer Streetfest, Rivera Park, Pico
Rivera State Park, Pico Park (Farmers Market),
Rio Hondo Bike Path, San Gabriel River Bike
Path, Brewjeria, La Mano Tortilleria, high
ridership bus stops along Rosemead Boulevard,
future location the PAD Park, and other areas
discussed with City staff and stakeholders. We
would like to explore opportunities with the
City’s Economic Development staff to partner
with local businesses for pop-ups at the PAD
Park, IdeaLab, or other areas that help convey
opportunities for access to open space, cultural
expression, and uplifting local businesses.

Open Streets Event/Tactical Urbanism
Our team will host three Tactical Urbanism
demonstrations throughout the city to
showcase potential physical improvements
and gather community feedback. These
events will include creative initiatives like
transforming an alleyway into an art walk,
creating a vibrant parklet, and highlighting
infrastructure improvements through the
implementation of a colorful crosswalk design.

These demonstrations will not only engage the
community but also provide valuable insights
that will inform the development of the City’s
plan.

One idea our team discussed is proposing
simultaneous events over a weekend or that tie
into existing events. For instance, on the day
of Summer Street Fest the team would host
tactical urbanism interventions, a community
ride to the Summer Street Fest, and have a
pop-up booth at the event to engage local
attendees. Specific ideas include:
• Tactical urbanism: Artistic Alley and
Protected Bike Lane from IdeaLab to the PAD
Park
• Community ride: Tour of artistic alley, ride
temporary protected bike lane, and then
head to Summer Street Fest via Rosemead
Boulevard, Passons Boulevard, or San Gabriel
River
› Pop-up: share project information and
analysis at IdeaLab with alley demonstration
or at Summer Street Fest with local
stakeholders of all ages and abilities
› Additional idea: We will explore obtaining
a temporary eco-counter to measure the
increase in walking/bicycling use during
this activity or conduct counts described in
Task 2 to capture activity levels associated
with temporary infrastructure and
encouragement events
