Proposal for Traffic and Noise Impact Analyses A92021"1/SA Solid Waste Transfer Station EIR Addendum Dear Doug: DKS Associates are pleased to submit this proposal to conduct technical traffic and noise impact analyses for the Solid Waste Transfer Station EIR Addendum. The scope of this proposal is based upon our conversations with you and other City staff members, including Mr. John Keaney and Mr. Doug Will. Brown-Buntin Associates have joined our team to provide noise impact analysis. Based upon DKS's experience in the development and application of the City's traffic model, and Brown- Buntin Associates' experience in the preparation of the original EIR, we believe that our project team can perform these analyses in an efficient and timely manner to meet the needs of the City. Enclosed are a Scope of Work, Schedule, and Budget for this important project. In consideration of the performance of these services, DKS Associates will be compensated on a time and materials basis in accordance with the hourly billing rates set forth in the attached fee schedule, subject to revision July 31, 1992, for a maximum fee of $6,025. This fee is based upon the work scope and level of effort presented herein and includes the cost of all related technical and administrative services. DKS will invoice every four weeks based upon the time and materials expended. Payments are due on a net 30 day basis. If payment of our invoices is not made within 45 days of the due date, DKS reserves the right to cease work on this project until such time as payment is received. Should the work not be authorized in sixty (60) days; or should changes occur in the work scope or level of effort; or should the completion date extend beyond December 31, 1992, due to circumstances beyond DKS's control; we reserve the right to revise the work scope, our billing rates, budget and schedule to reflect current conditions. Such revisions will be effected through amendments to this agreement. In the event of any litigation between the parties to this agreement arising from this agreement, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for its reasonable attorneys fees and costs. Mr. Doug DeMallie May 28, 1992 Page 2 Four originals of this letter have been provided. If this agreement is acceptable, please have a duly authorized official of the City of Redding sign below and return one original for our files. Your signature will constitute formal authorization to proceed with the work program according to the terms outlined. I I Thank you for inviting DKS Associates to prepare a proposal for this project. Please call us if you i have any questions. Sincerely, Approved By I DKS ASSOCIATES CITY OF REDDING A California Corporation i Jo n P. Long, P.E. y. Principal i Title Date I i i I I i I s • DKS Associates SCOPE OF WORK TRAFFIC AND NOISE IMPACT ANALYSES SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION EIR ADDENDUM I Task 1: Traffic Field Investigation i DKS Associates will conduct a field investigation of the roadway network associated with the EIR Addendum. Specifically, existing conditions will be noted at the interchange of State Highway 44 and Shasta View Drive (under construction), along Shasta View Drive from State Highway 44 to Tarmac Road, along Tarmac Road from Shasta View Drive to Abernathy Lane, and along Abernathy Lane from Tarmac Road to the proposed Solid Waste Transfer Station site. I Task 2: Traffic Volume Projection DKS Associates will utilize the City of Redding's Traffic Forecasting Model to project daily and P.M. peak hour traffic volumes for both near-term (circa 1993) and future (circa 2010) scenarios. Based on input from the City Traffic Engineer, we will modify land use and the roadway network in the immediate vicinity of the proposed Solid Waste Transfer Station site to more accurately represent anticipated conditions. These projected traffic volumes will be utilized for analysis of "Without 'i Project" scenarios. For the "With Project" scenarios, project traffic will be superimposed on the projected traffic volumes in accordance with the trip generation and regional distribution characteristics already identified in the previous EIR. i Task 3: Traffic Impact Analysis DKS Associates will perform traffic impact analysis for the following four scenarios: i 1. Near-term without project 2. Near-term with project 3. Future without project 4. Future with project Impact analysis will include P.M. peak hour intersection capacity analyses at the two intersections at the interchange of State Highway 44 with Shasta View Drive, and at the intersection of Shasta View Drive and Tarmac Road. In addition to capacity analyses of total volumes at these intersections, critical roadway locations will be reviewed for the safety of truck operations and the ability of the roadway system to accommodate trucks (e.g., geometric constraints, pavement conditions, weight limits). 1 DKS Associates Task 4: Traffic Impact Mitigation DKS will develop measures, where possible, to mitigate any significant impacts of the proposed project. These mitigation measures will include-possible roadway modifications. I Task 5: Noise Impact Analysis Utilizing the results of Tasks 1 through 4, Brown-Buntin Associates will utilize the FHWA Traffic Noise Prediction Model to predict noise levels for the EIR Addendum. Specifically, the emphasis of the analyses will be the noise impact on the residential area north of Tarmac Road and east of Shasta View Drive. Since data from the previous EIR can be utilized, no noise monitoring or site visits for noise impact purposes are necessary. Task 6: Report Preparation t j DKS Associates and Brown-Buntin Associates will prepare a report describing and documenting all analyses and conclusions of Tasks 1 through 5. This material will be suitable for inclusion into the ,I EIR Addendum, which is to be prepared by City staff. PROJECT BUDGET AND SCHEDULE Based on the Scope of Services described in this proposal,we have estimated a budget of$6,025.This amount includes $5,275 for the services of DKS Associates, and $750 for Brown-Buntin Associates i as a subconsultant to DKS Associates. Attached is a DKS Associates Fee Schedule. I In accordance with the needs of the City of Redding, we estimate that we can complete all components of this work effort within 45 days after written notice of authorization is received by DKS Associates.
