As a condition precedent to the formation of this Contract, Contractor warrants and covenants that it is adequately informed regarding the obligations and duties imposed by the Conflict Laws and that to the best of Contractor's knowledge and belief, there exists no conflict of interest (under the laws) that would disqualify the Contractor from participation in any decisions arising out of the performance of this Contract.

For purposes of this Section, the term “City Official” shall mean and include any elected or appointed officer of City, any employee of City, or any spouse or financial dependent of a City official or employee. A violation of this provision shall render this Contract null and void and Contractor shall be subject to restitution of all fees or money paid or earned under this Contract.

19.0 DUTY OF INDEMNIFICATION

19.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall (1) immediately defend and (2) indemnify City, and its directors, officers, and employees from and against all liabilities regardless of nature or type that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.

Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution (“Duty of Indemnification”). Contractor’s obligations to both defend and indemnify apply unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability or liabilities, in whole or in part, do not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors. Defense counsel shall be approved by City.

19.2 The review, acceptance or approval of Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve, or reduce Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section survives completion of the services or the termination of this contract.

The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not affect the provisions of this contract relating to insurance.

19.3 Contractor’s costs of defense shall not exceed Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault as adjudicated by a court of law, as required by California Civil Code section 2782.8.

CITY OF EL CAJON ON-CALL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
EL CAJON, CALIFORNIA (2019 – ONGOING)
CRA is actively performing as-needed engineering services for El Cajon. Task orders from this contract have included grant writing, active transportation plan, safety studies, complete streets roadway and green streets design, roundabout design, and park/recreational facilities. Signing and striping plans and signal modifications played a big role in most projects. Some of the task orders under this contract include the following:
ƒSystemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP)
ƒActive Transportation Plan
ƒSANDAG SGIP Grant Writing
ƒCaltrans ATP and HSIP Grant Writing
ƒJamacha Road Corridor Improvements
ƒWells Park Improvements
EL CAJON TRANSIT CONNECTIONS. CRA is leading the final design for two concurrent adjacent projects providing much needed multi-modal connections to the El Cajon Transit Center. These projects were developed based on the City’s Transit District Specific Plan (mobility improvement recommendations were developed by CRA) and are both funded by the SANDAG SGIP grant program for design and construction, for which CRA prepared the grant applications on behalf of the City.

The first project will improve El Cajon Boulevard between Chamberlain Avenue and Lexington Avenue with minor improvements on Johnson Avenue and Palm Avenue.

The focal point of the project is a modern roundabout at the 5-legged intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and Johnson Avenue. This will be the first of three planned roundabouts along the El Cajon Boulevard corridor. Other design elements include a road diet, widened sidewalks with bulb-outs, placemaking to allow opportunities for businesses and community gathering, and landscaping with trees and LID planters. Additionally, the project will serve as a direct connection for the proposed Class I Johnson Avenue Neighborhood Trail. The second project will enhance the Main Street corridor between Marshall Ave and Johnson Ave. A sidewalk-level Class IV bikeway will be installed along the south side of Main Street with a traditional Class IV on the north side. Extensive landscape and BMPs will transform this area visually and promote increased pedestrian usage. The combined effect of these two projects is intended to revitalize the area around the Transit Center and encourage redevelopment.

FOR AS-NEEDED TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES
CRA P#2023.017
Section 2� Scope Of Work

CRA’s extensive on-call experience, especially our City of Vista experience, enables us to better understand and establish project approaches that will work for the City. We understand each task order will require a team of the most suitable staff, a detailed scope of work and approach, and a realistic project schedule and budget.

Throughout this section, you will find our high-level scope of work to address some of the potential tasks identified in the RFQ.

1. Perform isolated signal timing assignments to
improve traffic flow at specific intersections.

The CRA team will gather all pertinent information about the assignment, or signal complaint, to better understand the operational issues that need to be addressed. We
will perform a field review and observation of traffic
signal operations and determine the best approach
to improve traffic flow at the location. We will make
recommendations on possible changes to phase
sequences, cycle lengths, timing parameters (yellow time, all-red time, vehicle extension, minimum green, maximum green, etc.) or other operational parameters that will yield better signal performance.

Upon approval of recommendations, we will implement
the operational changes and monitor the traffic signal to make sure it is operating as programmed and intended.

We will fine-tune the operations, as needed, to obtain the best results.

2. Perform coordinated signal timing assignments to
improve traffic flow and relieve congestion along an
arterial. This will generally involve field observations resulting in timing adjustments.

The CRA team will meet with city staff to discuss the
assignment and better understand the operational issues that need to be addressed, and to gather current traffic signal timing sheets and signal coordination plans. We will perform a field review of traffic flow along the corridor which will consist of observation of signal operations at each signal and collection of travel flow data using mobile device/laptop equipped with GPS antenna and software
(Tru-Traffic). The software will report travel time, average speed, number of stops and delay along the corridor.

Each travel run will be displayed in a time-space diagram depicting the existing coordination plans. Cycle lengths, offsets, splits and/or phase sequences will be modified to improve traffic flow and reduce the number of stops and delay.

3. Assess coordinated signal timing performance using,
at a minimum, travel time studies and time-space
diagrams. Offer recommendations for improving
deficiencies.

Simialr to above, the CRA team will perform a field
review of traffic flow along the corridor which will consist of observation of signal operations at each signal and
collection of travel flow data using mobile device/laptop equipped with GPS antenna and software (Tru-Traffic).

A minimum of 5 travel runs will be performed for each
direction and time period being studied. The software
will report travel time, average speed, number of stops and delay along the corridor. Each travel run will be
displayed in a time-space diagram depicting the existing coordination plans. We will make recommendations for
changes in cycle lengths, offsets, splits and/or phase
sequences
to improve
traffic flow
and reduce
the number
of stops and
delay.

p / 17CITY OF VISTA - PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES REQUEST

FOR AS-NEEDED TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES
Section 2. Scope Of Work CRA P#2023.017

4. Produce reports, including figures, tables, graphs and recommendations, describing coordinated signal timing
performance.

The CRA team will create reports or technical
memorandums that will summarize the findings of travel
flow study and signal coordination performance. The
report will include figures, tables and graphs depicting travel time, average speeds, number of stops, stop delay, stops per mile, ratio of green/red lights encountered, and a Corridor Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI). The report will also include recommendations for improving
signal coordination along the corridor, which may include new cycle lengths, offsets, splits and/or phase sequences.

We can also generate a Before/After Study report
comparing the coordination performance of newly
implemented timing plans against the previous timing
plans, showing improvements on travel time, average
speeds, number of stops, stop delay, stops per mile, ratio of green/red lights encountered, Corridor Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI), and also Greenhouse Gases
and other pollutants.

5. Troubleshoot, diagnose and repair traffic signal
communications issues.

The CRA team is well versed
in all types of traffic signal
communication and applicable
ITS standards including NTCIP,
IEEE, and ONVIF. Ranging
from analog leased-line/copper
communication systems that
have been in place for many
years, to modern 5GHz wireless
and high-speed fiber optic
networks, we will work with the
City to ensure critical infrastructure remains online as the ‘eyes and ears’ for City staff to monitor traffic in real-time at the City’s TMC.

Since leased-line/copper communications are no longer
the industry standard protocol for ITS communications,
our team will work with the City to ensure Ethernet IP
protocol is the industry standard for all new traffic signal deployments and future communication upgrades. We
will also coordinate with the traffic signal maintenance group (in-house/contract) for all recommended
communication upgrades and repairs.

6. Evaluate traffic signal communication systems and
perform upgrades to improve connectivity.

Fiber Optic -
Today’s fiber optic
communication systems
is one of the single most
important factors when
considering deploying
new ITS technologies. Expanding bandwidth from analog
copper communications to Gigabit/10G is necessary
to accommodate today’s data rates of 4k video and
high-resolution data. Using existing/proposed fiber optic backbone cables, or wireless Ethernet back-haul links, the CRA team is able to design a robust WAN topology with
proposed field communication hub locations and TMCs.

Fiber allocations are also important part of fiber optic improvements. Typical Fiber Optic Cable allocations are as follows:
ƒMain Trunk Lines - 144 strands (backbone)
ƒSecondary Trunk Lines - 96 or 72 strands (distribution) ƒThird Tier Trunk Lines - 12 strands (drop cables)

p / 18CITY OF VISTA - PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES REQUEST

FOR AS-NEEDED TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES
Section 2. Scope Of Work CRA P#2023.017
Planned fiber optic allocations are useful since backbone fiber optic cables are just not used for traffic purposes anymore. Typically shared between Public Safety, IT
Departments, and inter-connecting City sites, fiber optic planning and resources must also be defined as part of
the project.

Cyber Security - Cyber security is a real concern in
today’s network-enabled ITS market. Network security
issues will be coordinated with the City’s IT department as required. If the network is a standalone ITS network, cyber security will be employed with all encryption and safeguards provided with the equipment and services.

This will be complete at the managed switch level or any other device that has an IP address that can be accessed over the network. The CRA team’s integration approach
is to provide fully secured network communications with all intersections online and functioning at 100%.

7. Propose solutions for traffic calming to address
speeding issues and provide conceptual drawings and
estimates.

The CRA team has been providing traffic calming
evaluation and design for over a decade and we
understand that traffic calming is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Traffic calming solutions must be context
sensitive and selected based on the location where
speeding occurs or perceived to be occurring. Our
team will first coordinate with City staff to obtain historic counts, accident report summaries from Crossroads,
and conduct additional speed surveys if needed. We
will then use this information to determine whether
the 85th percentile speed of the subjected roadway
segment exceeds the speed limit and the allowable
threshold. After the evaluation, we will assess potential traffic calming measures based on the location of the
request. Requests for traffic calming along non-Mobility Element roadways will follow the guidance provided in
the City of Vista Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program
(City Council Policy 600-13). This policy provides a
step-by-step process to determine whether a traffic
calming measure is appropriate for the subject roadway, starting with measures that are the most economical to
implement (Phase I) to those that require public support, comprehensive studies, and additional funding (Phase IV).

In comparison, traffic calming requests for Mobility
Element roadways tend to require a corridor-wide traffic calming study and evaluation. This is because Mobility
Element roadways often serve both the City of Vista and act as throughfares (especially north-south roadways)
for other jurisdictions in North County. As such, traffic calming requests for Mobility Element Roadways will be
evaluated at the corridor level, including a preliminary evaluation of whether certain traffic calming solutions would qualify for grants to help with the implementation.

Traffic calming measures will be selected based on the
location/type of request, traffic conditions, right-of-way availability, existing/planned active transportation
facilities, ultimate buildout of the roadway, bicycle/
pedestrian activity, drainage concerns, nearby land
uses such as schools, and other considerations. Once a
traffic calming measure(s) is identified, CRA will develop conceptual plans for City review. The preferred concepts (if more than one) will be ready for Traffic Commission presentation (if needed), and work orders. Our team has been providing these services to the City of San Marcos.

The images below display the recently implemented
Fulton Road Speed Cushion Pilot program, and the
Rancho Dorado Neighborhood Traffic Calming Plan.

8. Develop design plans, specifications and estimates
for signing, marking and striping improvements.

Upon receiving a Task Order request, the CRA contract
manager will first assign the task to the appropriate task order manager. The contract and task order manager will 04/25/2023 C5 Page 60 of 393

p / 19CITY OF VISTA - PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES REQUEST

FOR AS-NEEDED TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES
Section 2. Scope Of Work CRA P#2023.017
then determine the most appropriate staff to perform
the work, depending on a variety of factors, such as
complexity and magnitude. The contract and task order
managers will then meet with the City project manager
to review the scope and determine expectations for the
Project.

Once the project scope has been determined, the CRA
team will obtain the necessary as-builts and right-of-way (ROW) information from the City. The as-builts, ROW,
and other relevant information will be verified in the
field by the task order manager to ensure consistency
and conformity prior to starting work. Field verification will include items such as confirming roadway width,
conducting a sign inventory, assessing conditions of
existing signs, etc. Depending on the specific needs
of the Project, CRA will determine the most effective
design using applicable standards. For example, Signing and Striping plans prepared for protected bikeway
Project would include signing, marking and striping in
accordance with CA MUTCD, Caltrans Standard Plans,
the City of Vista Standard Drawings; and if applicable, with the regional wayfinding signage guidelines. Other
manuals such as the FHWA Separated Bike Lane Planning
and Design Guide and NACTO Urban Bikeway Design
Guide provide guidance on implementing bike facilities.

The Signing and Striping plan would cover side streets
at intersections that require modifications to the design and a complete inventory of existing signs contained
within the project limits. Other factors such as impact to parking, driveways, and existing loop detectors will also be considering in the design. The project specifications will follow the boiler plate specifications provided by the City. Cost estimates will generally utilize readily available recent bid results, as CRA has several projects that are currently in construction.

9. Develop design plans, specifications and estimates
for minor roadway improvement projects such as
widening for capacity increases at intersections.

Similar to above, once a team is established for the
task order, CRA will first obtain the necessary as-builts and right-of-way (ROW) information from the City. The
as-builts, ROW, ADA compliance, and other relevant
existing plan will be verified in the field by the task order manager. Based on the relevant information, the CRA
team will then prepare the following plans:

Improvement Plans and Profile Sheet
The improvement plans would reflect existing
topography, existing and proposed right-of-way, and
existing and proposed utilities. Additional information such as curb profiles for the proposed curb work (e.g., protected intersections, bus islands, etc.) is included as a part of this Plan. The profiles will also include labeling for stations, offsets and curb elevations at key geometry points on each curb alignment.

Horizontal Control Plan (if applicable)
The CRA team will prepare a horizontal control plan,
which will include horizontal and vertical control sheets showing horizontal geometry data and elevations and
grades in the curb and roadway improvements. The plans
will also show modifications to curb and gutter, and other miscellaneous roadway improvements as necessary to
achieve the bikeway corridor intent. Horizontal geometric data shall be organized in data tables and will include curb and curb and gutter.

Section 2. Scope Of Work CRA P#2023.017
Construction Details
The CRA team will then prepare the construction details to clarify the Engineer’s design intent. Details may include curb transitions, protected intersection details, typical bus island details, drainage and BMP details, curb return, ADA ramps, fence locations, modification of curb and
gutters, and details of unique features implemented
within the project and other miscellaneous details
required for construction.

10. Conduct review of traffic impact studies submitted
to the City for proposed private development and
provide comments in writing.

For more than a decade, CRA have been conducting
traffic impact studies and review traffic impact studies on behalf of the City of Vista, allowing our team,
especially our Contract Manager to develop a thorough
understanding of the City. As a response to SB 743, the City of Vista adopted the Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (Vista TIAG) on December 2020. The Vista
TIAG require that projects that do not meet the screening criteria conduct a VMT-based Transportation Impact
Study (TIS) and/or a Local Transportation Study/Local
Transportation Assessment (LTS/LTA). The purpose of
the TIS is to determine a project’s impact under CEQA,
whereas the LTS/LTA is to ensure that a project does
not cause detrimental effect to the local transportation network.

CRA will take the following steps to review traffic impact studies on the City’s behalf:
1) Project Information Form (PIF) Review: Each project
is required to submit a PIF, which act as a scoping
agreement between the project applicant’s traffic
engineer and the City. During this review process, CRA
will at the minimum review the following:
a. Review the project’s land use, zoning, and trip
generation to ensure accuracy between the project
description and the land use categories that were
used for the development of trip generation. CRA
has developed a trip generation tool based on both
SANDAG and ITE’s Trip Generation Rates, ensuring
efficiency during the review process.
b. Review the project’s VMT and LTS/LTA screening.
c. Review the proposed project trip distribution
and assignment. Trip distribution, will be compared
against travel patterns obtained from Big Data
(Replica, etc.), historic traffic counts and patterns,
fastest route using Google Maps, SANDAG’s Select
Zone (if appropriate), and understanding of the
City. We found that comparing trip distribution
patterns against Big Data and supplementing it with
other sources provides a more reliable approach to
both developing and reviewing a trip distribution
assumption.
d. Coordinate with the City to obtain cumulative
projects list to share with the project applicant.

This would ensure that the traffic engineer for the
applicant accounts for all potential cumulative
projects in the area.
e. Coordinate with the City’ to obtain signal timing
sheets and provide this to the project applicant.
2) TIS Review: During this step, CRA will review the
transportation impact results and compare them against
the appropriate source such as the SANDAG SB743
VMT Screening Maps, a market study, or SANDAG
modeling results. We will also compare any proposed
Transportation Demand Management measures and the
associated VMT reduction against those provided in the
California Association of Air Pollution Control Officers (CAPCOA) Handbook, CalEEMod, and other source as
appropriate.
3) LTS/LTA Review: The CRA team will review the existing conditions results to ensure consistency between those
assumed in the LTS/LTA and ground conditions. At a
minimum the review will include existing geometrics,
active transportation facilities, signal timing, traffic counts, and existing traffic conditions. CRA will also conduct

a field review (if appropriate) for intersections that are currently operating at capacity, including any SR-78
interchanges, and other roadways that are known to be
used by regional traffic. In addition, we will also review near-term and future year analysis to ensure the proper cumulative traffic and analysis were used, and that any proposed improvements to reduce the project’s traffic
effect is feasible and implementable.

Other items included in the review process are:
a. Determine whether the Project would conflict with
any existing or proposed active transportation and CIP
projects.
b. Determine whether the projects would need
to improve any substandard active transportation
facilities.
c. Review queuing analysis if the project is adding
traffic to an already congested intersection.
d. Review any proposed signal optimization to ensure
that the recommendation is implementable.

11. Conduct review of the traffic engineering elements
of City CIP design plans and design plans submitted to
the City for proposed private development and provide
comments in writing.

CRA will review the provided design plans and check
against applicable standards such as the CA MUTCD,
Caltrans Standard Plans, City of Vista Standard Drawings, and City of Vista Guidelines for the Preparation of Traffic Signal Design Plans. Review comments will generally
focus on engineering standards and practices. For
example, the review of a traffic signal plan will consist of items such as ADA compliance (horizontal clearance,
push button reach, etc.), material products, signal pole placement, signage, etc. We will provide our comments
both in writing and as a redline markup to clarify the
intent of the comment. During the following submittal,
we will then verify that the previous comments have been fully addressed and provide additional comments as
necessary. As representatives of the City of Vista, our goal is to ensure that the plans meet current standards and act in the best interest of the City.

12. Check operability of traffic signal vehicle detection systems (loops and video) after installation by
construction contractors.

Detection systems play a critical role in providing accurate and dependable multimodal detection for all vehicles,
buses, trucks, pedestrians, and bicycles. New ITS
detection systems now incorporate video analytics such
as vehicle counts and speeds for verification purposes.

The newer video detection systems also offer high-
definition (HD) video and hybrid video/radar solutions
that are more accurate and detect vehicles and bicycles from further distances with tracking technology as they approach an intersection.

The CRA team will ensure all proposed detection systems are set up correctly and operating as intended. We will verify that loops are “landed” on correct terminal block and detector cards are set up correctly. We will also
verify video detection zones assignments and ascertain
that controllers are programmed. Verification methods
may include either on-site configuration & setup with the contractor, or through remote access of a H.264 decoder and supporting software. Additionally, the CRA team will always advocate for system training of City/maintenance staff for new and upcoming HD video detection systems,
so agency staff have the tools to view & manage the
system if needed.

13. Perform traffic studies such as corridor studies,
complete street plans, and other types of traffic
analyses and produce professional, high quality,
comprehensive reports documenting the effort.

The studies and plans will include, at a minimum,
project management, review and summary of
existing documents, review and documentation of
field conditions, field observations, traffic operations analysis, traffic safety analysis, community engagement through workshops, meetings and surveys,
development of solutions and alternatives, selection of a preferred alternative and report writing.

Founded in 2011, CRA is committed to developing
safe transportation systems and creating mobility
improvements that enhance and support vibrant and
sustainable communities. Our multidisciplinary staff
consists of transportation planners, traffic and civil
engineers, urban designers, and public facilitators – a combination that enables us to plan and design projects that are equitable, safe, feasible, and beneficial to the community.

Section 2. Scope Of Work CRA P#2023.017
We value mode choice. A critical component to a
truly multimodal network is the provision of safe, well- connected facilities for all modes of travel and users of all skill levels and abilities. To support this, CRA’s work has largely been focused on planning and designing facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists that are comfortable and convenient. We are among the first firms in California
to develop and use alternative planning practices that
effectively elevate walking and cycling to the same
importance as driving. Our multimodal performance
metrics (described in Approach Section later) have been used by dozens of cities to place the pedestrian’s and
cyclist’s comfort and experience on even ground with the driver’s experience of delay and congestion. Without such metrics, it is difficult to argue in favor of repurposing our roadways to be more complete, sustainable, and just.

The following describes the steps of the CRA’s tried
and true planning process. It is important to note that the technical execution will be supported by close
coordination with city staff and a robust and inclusive outreach and engagement approach.
ƒData Collection and Relevant Document Review -
Based on the information and data received from
the City of Vista as a part of project initiation, as well as other research and data collection efforts, CRA
will assemble, and review information obtained from
previous studies to ensure that we best utilize existing resources and leverage completed work. Previous
data will be supplemented and updated with field
reviews, arial reviews, and big data.
ƒExisting Mobility Analysis - CRA will identify existing needs by conducting assessments of the existing
transportation network, documenting demand,
connectivity, quality, and safety for all travel modes
(pedestrians, bicycles, transit, and vehicular). Note
that CRA has just completed the existing conditions
mobility analysis for the General Plan Update effort
and will be able to hit the ground running on any other corridor and citywide studies.
ƒAlternatives Development and Evaluation - Based on
the existing conditions analysis, project goals, input
received from city staff and community members,
CRA will develop mobility network alternatives for
evaluation. The alternatives will be assessed against
the evaluation framework including quantifiable
performance measures, feasibility analysis, etc. in
order to derive the preferred alternative.
ƒImplementation Strategies – CRA will develop an
implementation plan including project prioritization,
high-priority projects consist of description,
implementation challenges, design concepts and cost
estimates, as well as identification of funding sources for high-priority projects.
ƒDraft and Final Study/Plan – The CRA team will
prepare a report summarizing the deliverables
from all previous tasks such as existing needs and
opportunities, community input, policy framework,
recommended networks and projects, project
prioritization process, project rankings, high-priority project sheets, implementation plan including funding
strategies. The report outline will be provided to City staff for feedback and approval prior to composing.

Following City staff review and comment, CRA will
revise and finalize the report for distribution and
adoption. Staff at CRA are experienced in supporting
city staff during the adoption process by presenting at commission meetings and city council hearings.

CRA led corridor studies, complete street plans, active transportation plans, safety studies, etc. all have one thing in common and that is feasible and implementable.

We refuse to make recommendations that stay as a
line on the map – in fact, our interdisciplinary team of professionals work closely together to develop feasible solutions and concept designs to ensure our high-priority projects are grant ready with accurate cost estimates. To kick-start project implementation, our excellent staff have helped secure well over $200 million in grant funding for local agencies.

Section 3: Approach

CRA’s extensive on-call experiences enable us to understand and establish project approaches that will lead to successful outcomes for the City of Vista. We understand each task order will require a team of the most suitable staff, a detailed scope of work and approach, and a realistic project schedule and budget.

Management Approach

FLEXIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS
Our managerial approach promotes the delivery of high-
quality services. Our goal is to anticipate your needs and to quickly and efficiently respond to any and all requests.

In addition to our staff’s dedication, you will have the benefit of proven management information systems for
work planning, schedule control, and cost control.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
CRA recognizes the importance of providing effective
project controls to deliver projects on schedule and
within budget. CRA’s approach to on-call contracts
has been honed from years of experience. Our team’s
organizational chart was developed based on this
experience and will cover all your traffic engineering
needs. We understand fully that each task order will be unique, and as a result we will tailor our approach each time. We will work closely with City staff to ensure that a detailed and specific project scope is developed that meets the project goals and stakeholder expectations, as well as using the right team members to deliver it.

We propose to incorporate the following criteria with
each task order:
ƒListen to and understand your goals and objectives
ƒDevelop the scope of services based on clearly
understood priorities
ƒPlan and track on how the work will be accomplished
using Microsoft Project
ƒParticipate in biweekly (could be more open based on
the need and phase of the task order) meetings with
City’s task order manager
ƒHost weekly review meetings with the project team
ƒKeep stakeholders informed as the project progresses

COMMUNICATION
Effective communication is paramount to a successful
project. Above all else, CRA strives to develop and
maintain close working partnerships with our clients,
always focused on reducing the likelihood of unexpected outcomes that could compromise project success. Our
contract manager, Phuong Nguyen, is committed to
being responsive and providing excellent client service - client satisfaction has been his number one priority in his 16-year professional career. On every task order, Phuong will be the first point of contact between the CRA team and the City of Vista. Once the most suitable team is
selected for a task order, both the task order manager
and Phuong will be included in all communications for
that task order.

In addition to scheduled project management meetings,
Phuong is available to his clients by cell phone and email 24-7. This commitment to maintaining open lines of
communication will ensure project questions and inquiries are resolved in a timely manner, and that the project
schedule is upheld. He will be responsible for ensuring that the entire team maintains a culture of early and
frequent communication.

It is important to note that CRA is flexible and happy to meet with the City and stakeholders in-person or virtually.

While we are a short drive away from the City’s offices, we also offer further streamlined collaboration through the use of virtual meetings and document sharing software
such as Teams, Zoom and SharePoint. Collectively, these communication methods and platforms will keep all
parties informed and in touch.

BUDGET AND SCHEDULE CONTROLS
CRA has a track record of delivering high quality projects on-schedule and within budget. Our outstanding
organizational skills and technical capabilities in
combination with the strong support from our
experienced and highly-qualified staff – including our
seamless internal team communication developed over
years of working together – will ensure successful project completion.

CRA uses an interactive web-based management system
to assist our project and task managers to successfully maintain control of a project budget by providing real- time status reports on performance, variances, forecasts, and expenditures for all project tasks. We apply earned value management as the primary means of monitoring
project progress and forecasting performance by
integrating the three fundamental components of every
task order — scope, schedule, and budget. This allows
CRA to evaluate and control project risk by planning and monitoring project performance.

CRA prepares and tracks detailed project schedules by
utilizing Microsoft Project. The schedule will typically consist of a customized critical path method schedule
with a detailed list of subtasks, milestones, deliverables, and completion dates. Each subtask listed would match
the work outlined in the Scope of Services.

Technical Approach
CRA seeks to empower staff with the latest evaluation
methodology and analysis tools. As a result, we are well versed and at the forefront of new methodologies and
tools in transportation analysis. Some of the software
and prescriptions we utilize include the Highway
Capacity Manual, Highway Design Manual, California
MUTCD, Synchro Traffic Analysis Software, SimTraffic
Microsimulation, Vistro, Vissim Microsimulation, Rodel
Roundabout Analysis, SIDRA Intersection, Transparity IMS, Q-Free Kinetic, FAA Part 107 licensed drone, traffic signal warrant, inclinometer for ball bank studies, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Bentley MicroStation, Big Data, SANDAG Regional
Model, ArcGIS, etc.

TRAFFIC SIGNALS
The CRA team, supported by ADVANTEC and STC,
bring vast local and national experience to the City of Vista. Both ADVANTEC and STC have an outstanding
reputation in the field of traffic engineering and
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) planning and
design. Our team strives to help agencies improve traffic progression and minimizing travel delay on public streets.

We assist our clients to optimize the timing and phasing of traffic signals, improve operations at intersections, along roadways, and throughout busy corridors by
utilizing up-to-date operational models such as Synchro, SimTraffic, TranSync, VISSIM, and others.

When planning and designing signals, our team is
always sensitive and strives to maximize both existing
and planned investments. Our signal design specialists
offer expertise that is unparalleled anywhere in the
industry. In addition to comprehensive master planning
for traffic signalization, our engineers have designed
numerous plans to standardize traffic signals and provide comprehensive systems communications and control.

Additionally, CRA has extensive experience working in
all of the North County jurisdictions which equipped
us with a deep understanding of the travel patterns,
congested locations, and overall traffic operations in
North County including the City of Vista. Members of the CRA team have designed, constructed, and operated
Traffic Management Centers for multiple jurisdictions
throughout Southern California, including the cities of Irvine, Costa Mesa, Carlsbad, San Marcos, and others.

Additionally, key personnel on our team all have 10+
years of experience with design, operation, timing
adjustment, and troubleshooting signals for various
jurisdictions, and have worked with all current Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) platforms such as
Econolite CENTRACS, Q Free/Intelight MaxView, and
McCain Transparity. Combining our technical expertise
with our unmatched knowledge of Vista, our team offers
the City a unique yet comprehensive perspective in signal operations and system communications – we will be able
to develop solutions tailored to the City’s needs.

SIGNAL TIMING
When it comes to signal timing, coordination and
operations, our team has two separate approaches
depending on whether the signal is isolated or within a coordinated system. Both will start with us meeting with city staff to discuss the assignment and gain a better
understanding of the operational issues that need to be addressed; gathering all pertinent information such as
current traffic signal timing sheets and signal coordination plans, traffic volumes and field operating conditions;
developing recommendations based on our review and
analysis; incorporating comments received from city staff; implementing the approved recommendations; and finally
fine-tuning in the field to optimize operating conditions.

TROUBLESHOOTING, UPGRADES, AND IMPROVED

CONNECTIVITY
The CRA team also has extensive experience with
monitoring, upgrading, and troubleshooting all aspects
of a traffic signal. Our staff are experts in current traffic and transportation standards and technologies and have
assisted cities to transition from legacy equipment to
state-of-the art signal systems through citywide master plans and studies, grant applications, development of
plans, construction management and implementation.

We have helped the Cities of San Clemente (54
signals) and Lancaster (140 signals) to develop citywide communication master plans and design, select an ATMS
and ATC, and convert the timing parameters. Given our
decades of experiences working both legacy systems
and ATMS/ATC systems, our team has developed
an understanding of common issues that may occur
either due to wear-and-tear or during the deployment/
installation process. We strive to stay up to date on the latest technology and always look for more opportunities for additional training and education. Many of our team members are certified by the International Municipal
Signal Association (IMSA), ensuring that we stay up to
date on the latest best practices. We are also intimately familiar with troubleshooting both copper, fiber optic, 04/25/2023 C5 Page 69 of 393

ENGINEERING DESIGN
When providing engineering design, CRA always
considers a balance between “all users” including
pedestrians, bicyclists, recreational users, trail users, as well as trucks, buses, light rail, freight rail, and automobiles. We also use the latest and best design
criteria and guidelines and utilize fundamental design
resources including, but not limited to:
ƒCity of Vista Standard
Drawings
ƒ2021 “Greenbook”
Standards
ƒCaltrans Highway Design
Manual (HDM)
ƒCalifornia Manual of
Traffic Control Devices
(CA-MUTCD)
ƒNational Association
of City Transportation
Officials (NACTO) via
California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans)
Deputy Directive 64-R1
ƒTransportation Research
Board (TRB) and Federal
Highway Administration
(FHWA) planning and
design guides
CRA believes in working hand-in-hand with city staff
and getting stakeholder input in the early stages of a
design project. We will develop conceptual layouts with supporting details (e.g., curb-to-curb improvements, cross sectional transitions, striping, traffic calming devices, landscaping elements, sample intersection treatments) to bring forth to the community for input. As we obtain both city staff and community input, we take the approach to focus and refine the horizontal and vertical design to a significant level of completeness.

This approach identifies and resolves geometric
project constraints so that we can, not only establish
project limits, sight lines, controlled speeds, and other fundamental roadway/structural design principles, but
also balance hydrology, hydraulics, and stormwater
treatment requirements and resolve utility coordination/ relocation.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DESIGN
CRA has prepared numerous traffic engineering designs
for various types of projects over the last two decades.

This experience encompasses both simple and complex
traffic signal, signage, and pavement marking design.

We understand that the most effective solution does not also have to be the most expensive due to our expansive portfolio of projects ranging from cycle tracks to road diets, and bike boulevards to Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs). In addition, we are well versed in traffic calming, speed surveys, and utilizing a toolbox of countermeasures to combat residential speeding and to address
commission or City Council requests.

We understand that every project has specific needs;
and how that implies the need for data collection,
surveying, right-of-way mapping, utility investigation, as well as stakeholder and community engagement. CRA
is proficient in the software needed to efficiently and accurately complete traffic engineering task orders. Our staff will regularly attend training and workshops to stay on top of new developments and techniques, saving the
City time and money to efficiently produce project plans.

Our experience also includes leveraging software
toward the development of Plans, Specifications, and
Estimates (PS&E) for permitting, public bid, and low-bid construction. We understand the immense need for
these contract documents to form a tight knit and well- organized trilogy that avoids costly delays and change
orders once construction begins. We are experienced in
providing construction support to our clients throughout this phase of work and understand the critical need for quick, clear, and well thought out solutions for RFIs and shop drawings presented by the contractor.

Appropriate traffic control is a critical step to the
successful implementation of a transportation project.

CRA understands complex traffic control scenarios,
including local, regional, bridge structures and Caltrans encroachments to support temporary lane closures,
stage construction-, short- and long-term detours.

We understand the CA-MUTCD / WATCH manual
requirements and modifications that are necessary for
protecting work zones and phase projects to allow safe
operations and pedestrian and bicycle travel.

Reconstruction and rehabilitation projects require traffic control planning to accommodate local and regional
traffic, emergency access, city and franchise utility
relocations (if necessary), temporary and permanent traffic signals, access to adjacent homes and businesses, and
subgrade and pavement construction. Before we begin
preparing the actual TCP documents, our team will meet
with the project stakeholders to solicit input regarding special coordination needs. During this meeting, the
team will present the proposed construction sequence
plan, which includes the following:
ƒTravel lanes and construction area for each phase of
construction
ƒTemporary signing and striping, barricades, and other
channelization devices
ƒNarrative of the sequence of work including utility
construction phasing
ƒVehicle and pedestrian detour routing during
construction
The traffic control plans also include typical cross sections showing lane widths, edge conditions, channelization,
and proposed construction areas. Construction staging
plans will be developed for both intersections and
driveways. Standard staging plans are developed for
typical intersection and driveway configurations. Special staging plans are developed for non-typical intersection and driveway configurations.

COMPLETE STREETS ROADWAY DESIGN
CRA is highly experienced in active transportation
infrastructure design. With a deep understanding of the various NACTO Guides, American Public Transportation
Association Standards, FHWA Planning and Design
Guides, and the California MUTCD, we have proactively
applied our knowledge to advance innovative bike
and pedestrian infrastructure throughout the region.

We have led the planning, analysis, design, and grant
funding pursuits of numerous Class I, Class II, and Class IV facilities and pride ourselves on leading the design of the first protected intersection in Southern California, in addition to several subsequent protected intersection
projects. We understand what it takes to move
transformative infrastructure from “Concept to Concrete”. 12th Street and D Avenue Roundabout

accommodate all modes. We have the expertise to
strategically prescribe, analyze, and design custom
solutions to create streets where bikes, pedestrians,
transit, automobiles and all other modes can safely
interact with one another. Our past projects include raised crosswalks, road diets, pop-outs, and transit stops, as well as low impact development green infrastructure, signal
design, lighting, landscape and irrigation, street
furnishings, and utility relocation work that these types of projects also demand.

CRA staff are also exceptionally equipped to handle the complexities of roundabout analysis and design. Many of our roundabout projects are focused on limiting impacts to existing conditions while also achieving safety, mobility, and budgetary goals. We have the practical knowledge
to initially assess improvement feasibility at a high level, and to also get into the fine details of redesign at the preliminary and final engineering stages to define critical design criteria and solutions. Roundabouts often require more coordination than typical roadway improvements
– we understand the need to work with utilities, adjacent landowners, and other stakeholder at early stages to
ensure a successful project.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING
As a firm that regularly provides on-call services to local jurisdictions, CRA has unparalleled knowledge of policies, ordinances, standards, and guidelines throughout the San Diego region. We often bring state- and nationwide best practices and our own creativity and innovation to our
clients.

SB 743 IMPLEMENTATION AND TRAFFIC IMPACT

STUDIES
The world of transportation analyses changed in a big
way with the adoption of SB 743. Since July 1, 2020, SB 743 has changed CEQA requirements to de-emphasize
environmental impacts related to automobile capacity
and level of service and increases emphasis on impacts
related to vehicle miles traveled (VMT). CRA has
experience in preparing and reviewing VMT-based Traffic Impact Studies (TIS) on both project- and program- levels.

When preparing or reviewing VMT-based TIS, CRA will
ensure that the City’s Transportation Impact Analysis
Guidelines (Vista TIAG) are followed, while also ensuring our approach is consistent with the latest case law. Our experience with VMT impacts and VMT mitigation (such
as the Transportation Demand Management Program)
as well as VMT-based transportation/development
fee programs will allow us to ensure that the VMT
reductions associated with each TDM program or
mobility infrastructure improvement are applicable and
enforceable. VMT reducing measures will be evaluated
using methodologies outlined in the CAPCOA’s
Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission
Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and
Advancing Health and Equity or the SANDAG Mobility
Management Guidebook/VMT Reduction Calculator Tool.

When it comes to reviewing a Local Transportation
Study (LTS)/Local Transportation Assessment (LTA), our
approach can be summed up as “for the public good”
with the goal of ensuring that any approved document
is defensible, technically sound, reflects field conditions, and that any proposed physical improvements are
implementable. Through our work for public agencies,
CRA staff always aims to provide a clear, fair, defensible, and comprehensive review process. This means that at
the on-set of a project, CRA, in coordination with the
City, will provide clear and concise feedback on the
Project Information Form (PIF). For example, project
trip distribution in the PIF can be the most debatable
yet critical component to a traffic study, CRA will review and comment on these assumptions based on Big Data
(origin/destination) and census data information. In
addition, we ensure that traffic-specific factors such as peak hour factor, signal timing, queuing, or any pandemic related adjustments reflect field or historic conditions, and future volumes are based on both historic and
anticipated growth consistent with the regional plan. We also verify the proposed improvements against the design plan, truck/vehicle turning templates, ultimate buildout of the Mobility Element, and other relevant documents.

To streamline the review process, CRA keeps track of our comments in a signal coloring system, where red = need
to resolve, yellow = need minor adjustment, green =
applicant addressed the previous comments.

SAFETY REVIEWS
CRA is the expert in safety studies! CRA has experience providing traffic engineering support as it related to
traffic safety and leveraging our expertise in multimodal collision evaluations in a variety of environments. We
will draw from our past successes addressing the 4Es
(Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency
Services) in relation to the City’s traffic safety concerns. 04/25/2023 C5 Page 72 of 393

Section 3: ApproachCRA P#2023.017
Our approach consists of reviewing collision records and police reports to understand past violations and behaviors and conducting a detailed assessment of physical
and operational characteristics. CRA also designed
our own Traffic Safety Assessment & Countermeasure
Dashboard – an innovative web-based application which
we use on projects to assist clients with visualizing and communicating systemic safety issues and to aid in the
process of identifying countermeasures.

Combined, this approach will inform the identification of cost-effective improvements. Our extensive knowledge of HSIP-eligible countermeasures and innovative treatments will be utilized to recommend context appropriate
solutions with proven effectiveness.

TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
CRA brings a fresh perspective to the application of
state-of-the-art traffic operational analysis tools including VISSIM, Synchro/SimTraffic, VISTRO, Traffix, Rodel and
SIDRA, for roundabouts. For internal staff training, CRA has developed step-by-step guides on the learning and
mastering of each software application.

We know when and how to apply these advanced
analytical tools in a cost-effective manner, focused on efficiently extracting the necessary key variables and
performance indicators as measures of project benefits
and worthiness. We understand the correct application of these tools, coupled with the necessary expertise related to mobility planning, design and multimodal integration.

For example, we regularly apply traffic operations to
our roadway design and traffic calming design projects
to include treatments such as bicycle phasing, lead
pedestrian intervals, and pedestrian scrambles. We
have second-to-none experience in the analysis of
transportation facilities (intersections, roadway segments, corridors, etc.) and we pride ourselves in our “ground

truthing” approach which consists of first understanding the existing conditions of any facility we analyze in order to provide feasible recommendations that will work
and are appropriate in the context of the community.

Our PS&E work with SANDAG on a number of regional
bikeway projects relies on accurate traffic analyses to both communicate with local agency partners and to inform
traffic operational effects resulting from the installation of bicycle or pedestrian facilities.

When it comes to traffic calming, we always take a holistic and detailed look at the roadway or areas of concerns.

The key items are to identify the cause(s) behind the
speeding issues, determine whether the concern is based on perception or on actual field conditions, as well as the potential solutions. These potential solutions are then vetted based on level of effectiveness, construction cost, equity, maintainability, and other environmental
concerns. For example, sometimes edge striping is
selected over speed cushions because it is a relatively low-cost solution and reduces the traveled speeds to
acceptable levels, whereas a speed cushion, which
may provide further travel speed reduction, however,
would use-up a significant amount of the budget. We
also understand the needs to maintain traffic calming
measures, especially those in high traffic volume areas.

As such, we are conscious about the return of investment for the City, the staff and funding availability of the public works department, and the ability of the street-sweeping contractor to clean around any potential traffic calming measures.

Computerized multimodal, micro-simulation is another
valuable tool that CRA can offer in support of local
agency review and public outreach for project-level
efforts. This tool can be used to easily convey complex technical concepts and information in an understandable manner via graphical outlets. Our micro-simulation
capabilities provide highly realistic visual representations of the interface between automobile travel and other
travel modes (e.g. cycling, walking, bus, rapid transit, and light rail). Our use of microsimulation analysis proved to be essential for communicating the potential impacts and benefits of the 6th Avenue Promenade Feasibility
Study in 2018. The community was able to clearly see the potential project effects and provide input on preferred alternatives. This project recommended removing a free- left turn lane coming off the I-5 freeway onto 6th Avenue, adjacent to Balboa Park.

DATA MANAGEMENT TOOL
Having a rich and comprehensive set of available data
visually depicted can be extremely beneficial to the
day-to-day operations for the Traffic Engineering Division.

As a part of our City of San Marcos Traffic Engineering On-Call, we established a dashboard that keeps track
of potential projects using a project list provided by the planning department, historic counts, crash hot spots,
and resident requests. The purpose of the dashboard is to allow City staff, at a glance, to compare historic counts against those used or proposed by the project applicant, determine if a potential project is located near a collision hot spots and may require additional engineering
evaluations or treatments, and quickly provide the list of cumulative projects to the applicant. This dashboard was developed using off-the-shelf tools and completed with
relatively minimal cost to the City of San Marcos.

Section 3: ApproachCRA P#2023.017
Mobility Approach
Several key planning efforts and legislative actions of the past decade have redefined the way community transportation planning is carried out. An important unifying theme is creating more balanced, multi-modal transportation systems that enable people of varying physical and economic conditions to accomplish daily activities without driving. These developments and associated planning initiatives reflect a growing recognition that our communities must work to reduce reliance on automobile travel and increase the ease of walking, bicycling and using transit to support daily life.

Proven Planning Process - The graphic below highlights our proven approach to the overall planning process. We rely on transparency and building trust with stakeholders as a foundation for any project or plan that changes the street environment for residents and businesses. As shown below, stakeholder outreach, participation, and education span the entirety of the project. We work through a step-by-step process to highlight a clear, transparent planning process and to make sure we can listen and respond to feedback from City staff, community members, and other project partners.

Quantifiable Performance Measures - CRA has developed and applied a set of quantifiable multimodal performance measures on multimodal planning projects ranging from corridors studies to active transportation plans to mobility elements. The performance measures assess demand, facility quality, connectivity and accessibility, and safety for the core transportation modes. This suite of multimodal performance evaluation tools is now utilized for long-range planning projects throughout Southern California.

Adopt a Plan Intended for Implementation - A major strength of CRA is that we have in-depth active transportation planning, facility design, and implementation experience. We are focused on implementation and constructability – not just lines on a map. Our planners and engineers will work together in an integrated process that ensures the recommendation of a network of feasible and implementable active transportation facilities which address community members’ current and future needs. Another key to plan implementation is funding. A variety of federal, state, regional, and non-profit/private grants and funding sources exist for safety improvements and the expansion of active transportation networks, and we have been very successful in securing grant funding (over $230 million) for municipalities in the past 10 years.

9Proposal Prepared by Fehr & Peers 04/25/2023 C5 Page 163 of 393

Fehr and Peers worked with the City of
Vista to develop their Local Roadway Safety Plan, informed by a data-driven approach. The plan identifies key citywide trends by pairing collision factors such as collision type, primary mode, or proceeding movement with contextual variables such as number of lanes, proximity to schools, or intersection traffic control. The result is a list of descriptive collision trends that can easily be paired with actionable design solutions. High-risk roadways were also identified that are responsible for a disproportionate share of collisions.

By blending these two approaches, we delivered a proactive framework that goes beyond the exclusive focus on historical collision patterns by highlighting common risk factors that can be targeted in the future. Countermeasures were paired directly with the risk factors and trends, and included programmatic strategies such as education and enforcement as well as proven engineering strategies that are backed by safety efficacy research. The final menu of countermeasures included a list of tailored strategies, including low-cost and quick-build options.

2017 - Ongoing
Fehr & Peers completed the mobility impact and parking analysis for the proposed redevelopment of the SDCCU (formerly
Qualcomm) Stadium site located in the Mission Valley Community of San Diego. Our analyses focused on intersection, street segment, and freeway/ramp traffic operations, as well as the project’s potential impacts on vehicles mile of travel (VMT) related to new SB 743 guidelines. Fehr & Peers’ MainStreet tool was used to estimate the mixed-use benefits of the development, and the SANDAG regional travel model was used to estimate the distribution of project trips. Appropriate mitigation was identified to reduce or eliminate project trips and to assist with minimizing campus parking demands and measures included a robust transportation demand management (TDM) program to reduce vehicle trips and VMT. Another key aspect of the proposed development is a reduced parking supply to serve both the campus and stadium for special events. We developed vehicle and pedestrian circulation plans for event parking for both opening year conditions (without any vertical development) and at project buildout when the supply is shared with the campus uses.

As a subconsultant, Fehr & Peers supported the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) with the North Park Mid-City Regional Bike Corridors Project from planning through design. Fehr & Peers oversaw the planning and conceptual design phase. Fehr & Peers also completed the plans, specifications, and estimates for 11 traffic signal modifications along the Meade, Georgia, and Landis bikeways in the North Park Mid-City area of San Diego, as well as the wayfinding design for the Meade and Landis bikeways. The signal modifications included preparation of 100% plans addressing the removal of separate left-turn lanes at numerous intersections, the installation of curb extensions, and modifications to signal phasing. The wayfinding plans included PS&E for confirmation and destination signage based on Regional Bike Wayfinding Design Guidelines that Fehr & Peers previously prepared for SANDAG. The project is currently in final design. Our wayfinding and electrical design expertise helped the City of San Diego and SANDAG understand the recommendations of our initial planning efforts and allowed us to prepare the construction documents to bring the project to life. The new protected bikeway results in a more comfortable facility for all users connecting to San Diego’s urban core.

Scope of Work
The scope of services for this agreement will be
developed based on specific tasks requested by
the City. Fehr & Peers has provided significant detail
in the Introduction section of this proposal related
to our qualifications in completing the referenced
project types. Additionally, the Approach section of
this proposal provides our approach to successfully
completing tasks requested for this effort.

As such, the following outlines the typical services
that may be requested as part of this on-call
agreement. It is consistent with the Scope of Work
task numbering outlined in the RFP.

INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS)
As the level of funding for transportation
infrastructure often fails to keep pace with the need,
communities seek innovative tools to maximize the
efficiency and safety of their existing transportation
systems. ITS improvements have become vital
to agencies as they employ the latest innovative
technologies to address the challenges of tomorrow
with today’s mobility network configurations. Fehr
& Peers has extensive experience in various forms
of ITS planning, design and implementation for
small and large agencies throughout the United
States. For example, Fehr & Peers prepared a
Transportation Management Plan (TMP) for a portion
of a Center City Utility Relocation project that was
part of the construction of the planned Honolulu rail
transit system. The TMP was prepared to analyze
the potential impacts of various proposed lane
closures under multiple construction scenarios at
88 intersections in the Primary Urban Center. Fehr
& Peers also designed eight (8) temporary traffic
signals and prepared ITS installation plans at 15
locations to meet a highly expedited schedule.

TRAFFIC OPERATIONS AND ANALYSIS
For tasks associated with traffic operation and
analysis, we will perform the following tasks on an
as-needed basis:
›Prepare traffic impact and traffic feasibility
studies and reports
›Perform transportation demand modeling
›Use Big Data (e.g., Streetlight, Inrix) to validate
travel patterns and support project need
›Prepare traffic operation analysis
›Review and recommend adjustments to
coordinated traffic signal timing plans
›Review and recommend adjustments to
isolated traffic signal timing plans
›Design of traffic signal synchronization plans
and preparation of before and after traffic signal
synchronization measures of effectiveness
›Develop traffic simulation models using
SimTraffic or VISSIM depending on system
complexity
›Develop design alternatives for roadway
reconfigurations
›Perform traffic demand / capacity analyses,
corridor operation studies, traffic delay studies,
and origin – destination studies
›Perform parking demand studies

TRAFFIC SIGNAL & COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN
We are national experts in signal design with
extensive experience on a variety of roadway and
intersection types. Members of our staff teach
traffic signal design to local and national audiences
through the UC Berkely Extension Program, and
our proposed project manager Claude Strayer
currently Chairs ITE’s Pedestrian & Bicycle Standing
Committee nationally Through this position, Claude
16 Proposal for As-Needed Traffic Engineering Services04/25/2023 C5 Page 170 of 393

recently served as an author of the ITE Bicycle
Signal Resource Hub. We stay up to date on the
latest ADA codes, regulations, and guidance, and we
have extensive experience with the Caltrans Local
Assistance process, having designed and delivered
several federally funded projects in the past several
years. We understand both the standards and
flexibility provided by the MUTCD and are well-versed
in Interim Approvals that incorporate innovation in
the signal design space.

In total, we have completed design services at over
800 intersections where we have performed both
signal and communications design. Our design
services routinely include coordination with Civil
Engineers, surveyors, utility providers (electrical
providers like Southern California Edison), local
agency staff, Caltrans staff, and contractors for
construction support during installation.

TRAFFIC CALMING
Fehr & Peers is a nationally-recognized leader in the
areas of traffic calming and neighborhood traffic
management. We have vast experience in working
with local communities in San Diego County and
across the country to develop both programmatic
solutions and neighborhood-specific traffic calming
plans. We are also frequently retained to develop pilot projects and PS&E as a part of a newly developed
city-wide traffic calming program.

Our senior staff are experts in the field, having
successfully completed traffic calming plans
throughout the United States. We also teach a
two-day course on the subject for the University of
California, Berkeley and Steve Brown, who is included
in this qualification package, co-authored the US
Traffic Calming Manual published by APA in 2009.

Our approach to traffic calming programs involves
working closely with the stakeholders to determine
priorities and to balance input from affected
residents, agency staff, and the wider public interests represented by elected officials. We understand
that each community is different, with unique
needs, geography, cost constraints, and history.

Our projects are successful because we listen to
clients’ needs, spend time in the field, work closely
with all interested parties, and utilize our wealth
of planning and engineering design experience to
develop realistic and implementable solutions. A key
differentiator is that we offer traffic calming services from planning through detailed conceptual and
construction ready design services.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DESIGN PS&E
Fehr & Peers has unique expertise in providing
transportation engineering services from the early
planning stages of a project to the development of
design plans, and through final implementation in
the field. We integrate our design and construction
management expertise with our extensive
knowledge of planning and operations to provide
clients with the ideal combination of creative, yet
practical solutions that address the needs of all travel modes. We routinely complete plans, specifications
and cost estimates (PS&E) for traffic engineering
improvements in a variety of contexts. Project
experience includes intersecting roadways with
motor vehicles, light rail/transit facilities, as well as intersections with all types of pedestrian and bicycle
facilities. We focus on providing final construction
documents that are bid-ready and able to be
constructed efficiently with minimal questions from
the contractor during construction. Our experience
with complete streets and safety are the forefront of
every design task we pursue, making for a proactive
design approach rather than one that pieces
together the needs of all users at or near the end of
the design process.

INNOVATIVE TRANSPORTATION DESIGN
Fehr & Peers also continually strives to deliver
transportation design projects which provide
innovative treatments based on best practices.

In addition to more traditional traffic signal and
lighting design, we have delivered projects including
protected intersections, raised intersections,
protected bikeways, bicycle signals, traffic calming,
shared streets, multi-use trails, and shared mobility
hubs utilizing both traditional and quick-build
construction methods. Additionally, we continually
progress the state of the practice by contributing
to the development of implementation guidance
17Proposal Prepared by Fehr & Peers 04/25/2023 C5 Page 171 of 393

documentation, including serving as authors on
documents such as the Institute of Transportation
Engineers’ Recommended Design Guidelines
to Accommodate Pedestrians and Bicycles at
Interchanges; Protected Bikeways Practitioners
Guide; Curbside Management Practitioners
Guide, and Micromobility Design Practitioners
Guide. Additionally, Claude Strayer recently was
a lead author on the ITE Crosswalk Policy Guide
Recommended Practice.

TASKS ASSOCIATED WITH CIP PROJECTS
›Preparation of traffic engineering construction
documents such as plans, technical
specifications, and engineering cost estimates
for the installation of new roads, widening of
existing roads, new traffic systems, highway
lighting systems, traffic signing & striping, traffic
signals, bicycle lanes, or pedestrian systems
›Design coordination with other public agencies
and utilities
›Prepare detour plans, traffic control plans, and

Evaluation Reports (PEER), truck turning analysis,
Vehicle Miles of Travel Decision Document
(VMTDD), Induced VMT Assessment, and other
Caltrans required documents.

GENERAL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING REVIEW SERVICES
Preparation and review of Transportation
Impact Analysis (TIA) reports is one of the core
services provided by Fehr & Peers. We have
completed hundreds of studies for public, private,
and institutional clients to evaluate new land
developments, redevelopment sites, changes
to the street system (e.g., widening of a street),
changes in circulation policies, and other actions
that affect the transportation system. We believe
that transportation impact studies should address
all modes of transportation, and we have included
multi-modal evaluation/discussions in TIA reports
for decades. Additionally, we routinely provide
peer review of TIA reports and technical analysis
by others’, providing constructive comments to
enhance accuracy and adhere to local guidelines and
best industry practices.

Often times, transportation impact analysis is
prepared for the transportation section of an
environmental document. We are recognized within
California for preparing, peer reviewing, and even
developing significance criteria for transportation
impact analysis for CEQA. We routinely prepare
transportation impact analysis for Environmental
Impact Reports (EIRs), Mitigated Negative
Declarations (MNDs), and Negative Declarations
(NDs). We prepare analysis for a variety of project
types including land development and transportation
projects. We are experts in the transportation issues
in CEQA including changes due to Senate Bill SB
743. Our SB 743 involvement has provided us with
substantial information to aid agencies, much of
which has been posted to our SB 743 website shown
below: https://www.fehrandpeers.com/sb743/
18 Proposal for As-Needed Traffic Engineering Services04/25/2023 C5 Page 172 of 393

TRAFFIC SAFETY
Safety has been a primary focus in the
transportation industry recently and a key focus
of our firm’s efforts over the past decade. Prior to
that, most of our safety work focused on collision
analyses and trends in addition to serving as expert
witnesses for public agencies during litigation.

Over the past ten years, our safety focus has shifted
significantly as many of our clients are interested
in ITE’s Safe Systems approach to improving
mobility, completion of Systemic Safety Analysis
and Reporting (SSAR) studies, Local Roadway Safety
Plans (LRSPs), Safe Routes to School (SR2S) efforts,
and assisting a variety of agencies throughout the
US in Vision Zero efforts. All of these safety efforts
nest well with our multi-modal expertise to assist
agencies in making informed decisions when
improving the safety of the mobility network.

In addition to the above referenced safety efforts,
we frequently complete other more routine efforts
related to safety, where we:
›Evaluate the need for traffic control devices
such as RRFBs, Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons
(PHBs), etc. using a quick response tool we
developed called Crosswalk+ that incorporates
FHWA guidance for uncontrolled pedestrian
crossings
›Evaluate roadway lighting conditions and
proposed improvements
›Perform safety studies related to intersections,
pedestrian crossings, bicycle lanes, school sites,
and other sensitive areas
›Perform roadside safety analyses
›Evaluate roadway configurations for complete
street improvements

Approach
Fehr & Peers consistently delivers projects with
service that exceed our client’s expectations. To
accomplish this, we are adept at managing multiple
tasks and competing schedules by being organized,
detail oriented, and clear communicators. Every
project starts with a detailed project approach that
clearly outlines our services. We develop detailed
scopes for each task, detailed cost estimates for
each task, and have implemented state-of-the-
industry accounting tools to ensure that our projects
are completed on-time and on-budget.

We are experts at managing multiple projects and
tasks. We have identified a skilled set of senior
leaders who can each provide task management if
multiple tasks are active at one time, with Claude
(Project Manager), Kendra (Deputy Project Manager),
and Sohrab (Principal in Charge), overseeing all active tasks. Additionally, we effectively collaborate and
share resources between our offices, allowing us to
provide a deep technical skills bench and work on
multiple tasks concurrently.

We have demonstrated our ability to lead multiple
tasks for multiple cities in the region. For example, for the City of Carlsbad, the multimodal level of service
policy project, Senate Bill 743 Implementation
and College Boulevard project were all active
simultaneously and completed within schedule and
budget expectations.

Since 2001, Fehr & Peers has received over 3,000
client surveys. We are pleased to report that we met
or exceeded our clients’ expectations in more than
98 percent of these surveys. We’re also proud that
our clients represent an esteemed mix of leaders in
their respective industries.
20 Proposal for As-Needed Traffic Engineering Services04/25/2023 C5 Page 174 of 393

STEP 1 - SCOPE OF SERVICES
For every task order we will develop a detailed scope
of work and cost estimate. Taking the time up front
to understand the needs of the City and developing
a tailored scope of services to meet that need will
ensure that the project is completed correctly with
limited rework. This also ensures that we will not
need to go back to the City for additional services
unless unforeseen needs arise during the course of a
project.

STEP 2 – DETAILED COST ESTIMATES AND SCHEDULE
Fehr & Peers will develop a detailed cost estimate,
outlining the cost by task and number of hours to
complete each task. We will also develop a detailed
schedule such that the City knows when key
deliverables are due.

As part of this task, we also outline key information
needed from the City that may be required to
complete our work and identify how those items
could affect project schedule.

STEP 3 - DETAILED STAFFING PLAN
Fehr & Peers completes regional and companywide
backlog and project staffing plans on a monthly
basis. This enables us to understand our work load
and assign appropriate staff to projects to meet
the Client’s schedule. Given our depth of staff and
expertise of our staff, we can assign key people to
projects to ensure that the project is completed
successfully.

STEP 4 - ACCOUNTING/COORDINATION
Fehr & Peers utilizes the Deltek Vantagepoint
accounting software. This enables our project
managers to receive real-time information on project
budgets to ensure that projects are being completed
on-time and on-budget. We submit monthly invoices
in a pre-approved format from the City, and we
provide detailed progress reports on work completed
during that time frame.

Fehr & Peers will contact and coordinate with City
staff on an as-needed basis. Given our proximity to
the City, this can be conducted through in-person
meeting, telephone conversations, or through email.

We have found that proactive coordination is the
easiest way to solve problems as they arise.

Fehr & Peers also understands the requirements of
the Brown Act and we take steps to protect the City
as much as possible. For example, we will call the
City to discuss key issues prior to documentation
such that only appropriate discussions can
become part of the public record in the event of a
controversial project.

STEP 5 - CONDUCT THE WORK
Fehr & Peers will utilize the identified staff to
complete the scope of services identified in Step 1.

STEP 6 – QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE
Our quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA)
process is designed to ensure that our products are
accurate.

At the core of the QC/QA process is a hierarchy of
staff that are responsible for various aspects of each
project. The following hierarchy may be employed
on any given project depending on the project
requirements and resources:
›The Principal in Charge provides oversight,
review, and strategic direction as necessary.
›The Project Manager (PM) is responsible for
overall quality, and adherence to schedule and
budget. The PM is the primary point of contact
for the client. The Deputy Project Manager
21Proposal Prepared by Fehr & Peers 04/25/2023 C5 Page 175 of 393

Diverse Experience
In addition to providing staff members with
extensive training, we also ensure that our staff
has worked on a variety of projects. Therefore,
staff members working on engineering tasks also
have some exposure to other types of projects
related to traffic operations, bicycle/pedestrian
planning, transit studies, and other areas. This broad
exposure is very important to our design process by
ensuring that our deliverables reflect the needs of
all transportation users. For example, a new traffic
signal might be needed to provide access to a newly
developed parcel. When considered in isolation,
this signal might not be problematic. However,
this signal might impact existing transit service,
bicycle or pedestrian facilities, or even other traffic signals. A person working on this design who lacks
this broad experience may not understand how
the various elements of the transportation system
interact and interface with each other. Our staff has
this understanding and will ensure that the needs
of all travel modes are adequately reflected in all
engineering deliverables that we prepare and review.

Collaborative Environment
We foster an environment within Fehr & Peers that
encourages collaboration between staff at all levels
and also between offices. Staff members preparing
traffic studies or reviewing traffic studies are able to draw upon more senior staff people and technical
experts as needed.

Extensive Review
In keeping with our philosophy of promoting
collaboration, we ensure that all work is reviewed
by multiple staff people before we finalize any
study. In addition, all engineering design documents
go through a rigorous internal plan check using
checklists and well documented review procedures
intended to minimize the potential for design or
drafting errors.
supports the PM to oversee the budget and
quality of work.
›The Project Engineer/Planner conducts the
technical calculations, prepares reports, and
supports the PM.
›Experts are individuals that have considerable
experience on specific topics and are available
to collaborate on innovative solutions to a
variety of planning and operational problems.
›Technical/administrative staff includes
individuals who prepare high-quality graphics,
process reports, set up conference calls, and
conduct other project-related activities as
necessary.

The QC process varies by the prevailing jurisdiction’s
requirements, the project, and the type of design
analysis being conducted. A transportation engineer/
planner who is not directly involved in the task
reviews all technical drawings and calculations for
accuracy.

The same transportation engineer or a separate
document specialist ensures consistency of figures
and tables in the report with technical calculations,
thereby minimizing the likelihood of technical errors.

Our QC/QA process is strengthened by the following
elements:

Extensive Staff Training
We have found that the most important element in
performing work well is to provide ample training to
technical staff members. Fehr & Peers maintains a
regular training program for technical staff members.

For the entry-level engineers and planners, this
training includes classes on the preparation of traffic studies, traffic operations, traffic engineering and
design, transportation planning, and other relevant
topics. As our staff progress, they are provided with
additional training in our various specialty areas
such as classes on CEQA. By providing these training
opportunities, we ensure that our staff has the
knowledge needed to complete tasks in a timely and
accurate fashion.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
City of Vista Local Roadway Safety Plan (Vista, CA)
Fehr and Peers worked with the City of Vista to develop their Local Roadway Safety Plan, informed by a data-driven approach. The plan identifies key citywide trends by pairing collision factors such as collision type, primary mode, or proceeding movement with contextual variables such as number of lanes, proximity to schools, or intersection traffic control. The result is a list of descriptive collision trends that can easily be paired with actionable design solutions. High-risk roadways were also identified that are responsible for a disproportionate share of collisions. By blending these two approaches, we delivered a proactive framework that goes beyond the exclusive focus on historical collision patterns by highlighting common risk factors that can be targeted in the future. Countermeasures were paired directly with the risk factors and trends, and included programmatic strategies such as education and enforcement as well as proven engineering strategies that are backed by safety efficacy research. The final menu of countermeasures included a list of tailored strategies, including low-cost and quick-build options.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
City of Vista Local Roadway Safety Plan (Vista, CA)
Fehr and Peers worked with the City of Vista to develop their Local Roadway Safety Plan, informed by a data-driven approach. The plan identifies key citywide trends by pairing collision factors such as collision type, primary mode, or proceeding movement with contextual variables such as number of lanes, proximity to schools, or intersection traffic control. The result is a list of descriptive collision trends that can easily be paired with actionable design solutions. High-risk roadways were also identified that are responsible for a disproportionate share of collisions. By blending these two approaches, we delivered a proactive framework that goes beyond the exclusive focus on historical collision patterns by highlighting common risk factors that can be targeted in the future. Countermeasures were paired directly with the risk factors and trends, and included programmatic strategies such as education and enforcement as well as proven engineering strategies that are backed by safety efficacy research. The final menu of countermeasures included a list of tailored strategies, including low-cost and quick-build options.

Appendix A: Contract Exceptions
We would like to request the ability to coordinate with the City on the contract terms in the agreement.

Specifically, we would like to request the following changes:

Section 15.0 – Ownership of Documents
Requested Change: Add the following as a new Section 15.2 after the current language in Section 15.0: “15.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, Contractor shall retain all rights, titles, and interests, including but not limited to all ownership and intellectual property rights, in all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methodologies, models, formats, software, algorithms, processes, procedures, designs, specifications, findings, and other intellectual properties developed, gathered, compiled or produced by Contractor prior to or independently of any of its Services under this Contract (“Background IP”), including such Background IP that Contractor may employ in the performance of this Contract, or may incorporate into any part of the work product. Contractor grants City an irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license in perpetuity to use, disclose, and derive from such Background IP, but only as an inseparable part of the work product. Third-party content that may be used or incorporated in the work product shall not become the property of City. Contractor shall secure all licenses necessary to any third-party content incorporated into Contractor’s work product for City to utilize Contractor’s Services and the work product for their intended purposes. Nothing in this Contract shall preclude Contractor from utilizing concepts and designs similar to those utilized for the Project on other projects for other clients not associated with City, provided such other projects are not substantially identical to the Project and City understands and acknowledges that Contractor may use details and/or designs that are generally recognized as standard or of common usage in the industry on projects other than the Project even though they may be used for the Project.” Reason for Change: To provide the flexibility to utilize pre-existing intellectual property or third-party data in order to best meet the City’s needs.

Section 16.2 – Confidentiality
Requested Change: “. . . Contractor will not disclose any information prepared for City, or obtained from City or obtained as a consequence of the performance of work to any person other than City, or its Contractor’s own employees, (or to Contractor’s agents or subcontractors who have a need for the information for the performance of Services under this Contract) unless such disclosure is specifically authorized in writing by City.”
Reason for Change: It is overly burdensome to restrict project-related information from our own employees (other than those with a need to know).

Section 19.1 – Duty of Indemnification
Requested Change: “To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall (1) immediately defend and (2) indemnify City, and its directors, officers, and employees from and against all liabilities regardless of nature or type to the extent that they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors. Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments . . .” Reason for Change: The added language is required by Civil Code Section 2782.8. 50 Proposal for As-Needed Traffic Engineering Services04/25/2023 C5 Page 204 of 393

Appendix A: Contract Exceptions
Section 19.3 – Duty of Indemnification
Requested Change: “Contractor’s costs of defense shall not exceed Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault as adjudicated by a court of law, as required by California Civil Code section 2782.8.” Reason for Change: The deleted language is not actually part of Civil Code Section 2782.8.

Exhibit C – Insurance Requirements
Requested Change: “2. Automobile Liability: Insurance Services Office Form Number CA 0001 covering Code 1 (any auto), with limits no less than $1,000,000 $2,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.” Reason for Change: Our Automobile Liability policy only has $1,000,000 limits. We do carry Excess Insurance in the amount of $5,000,000 each occurrence / $5,000,000 aggregate, however, and it does drop down and sit over our Automobile Liability policy, so we can meet the $2,000,000 limits, but only through a combination of our primary and excess insurance.
