(AFA) is pleased to propose a scope of services for the update and refinement of the Newport Beach Traffic Analysis Model (NBTAM). The work tasks to be undertaken for the model refinement are as follows: 1. Traffic Data- The City traffic count program and current counts completed earlier this year can provide citywide traffic count data. It is assumed here that no additional traffic count data is needed and this work item will largely comprise a compilation of the existing data for inclusion into the technical document (see Task 3). 2. Traffic Model Preparation -The refinements in this task are beingearried out to bring the long -range version of the model up to full operational capability. Initial information from this refinement process has been shared with City Staff. This task will involve finalization of that work effort. The product will be a refined long -range version of NBTAM suitable for use in the Newport Center Expansion traffic study and to satisfy OCTA consistency requirements. Suitable documentation of the model update and validation will be prepared.

Based on your memo of September 21,1999, we have updated the previous proposal, and the attached scope of work outlines our proposed work effort and estimated cost. . If you should have anyquestions or comments, please call and meanwhile, we look forward to assisting the City in this important traffic study. Very tr yours, Ad44014�1 Terence W. Austin 9nwwPUMaexP.,gd Exhibit "An P.2 0 I Sep 22 99 04:29p Fustin -Foust NEWPORT CENTER EXPANSION SCOPE OF WORK (714) 667 -7952 p.3 The following is a scope of work to carry out a comprehensive traffic impact analysis for the proposed expansion of Newport Center. The analysis will be prepared for inclusion into the EIR being prepared for this project and will have four basic components: a. Short -Range Impact Analysis (proposed project) b. Long -Range Impact Analysis - Proposed Project and two alternatives C. Traffic Data for Non - Development Scenarios (baseline, no- build, and two alternatives) d. Parking Analysis Item "a" will use the City's standard Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) procedure, and Items "b" and "c" will be carried out with the updated long -range version of the City of Newport Beach Traffic Analysis Model (NBTAM). The parking study in item "d" will involve a comprehensive analysis of parking in Newport Center. Part of the impact analysis work will involve an evaluation of potential neighborhood intrusion into the residential area east of MacArthur Boulevard. The work tasks to be undertaken for the traffic analysis are as follows: 1. Project Definition and Trip Generation - In this task the proposed projects and project alternatives will be defined and trip generation estimates agreed upon with City Staff. Issues will be addressed such as incremental trip generation changes, current entitlement versus carrently built development and special trip generation characteristics of specific uses (e.g., luxury office). The resultswill provide adescription of the traffic characteristics of the project being analyzed and of the project alternatives. 2. Short - ]tango Analysis - To identify short -range project impacts, the proposed short -range project (i.e., within five years) will be analyzed using the City's TPO procedure. Current General Plan entitlements will be considered as part of the background traffic, and impacts of the project added traffic will be determined. Potential mitigation measures will be identified as appropriate. I 9a-q addrExpwrd Sep 22 99 04:29p Hustin -Foust (7141 667 -7952 p.4 3. Long -Range Impact Analysis -In this task, the long -range version of NBTAM will be used to analyze project impacts. Traffic forecasts will be prepared for the proposed project and the two project alternatives, with both ADT and peak hour intersection data being prepared. Level of service analyses will be carried out for each of the analysis scenarios and project impacts determined accordingly. A traffic improvement program will then be developed which addresses project impacts and mitigation. Levels of service will be calculated for the mitigation, and an overall traffic improvement plan will be prepared. Project responsibilities will be defined as part of this program. Individual work items to be carried out are as follows: a. Traffic Forecasts b. Level of Service Analysis C. Mitigation Measures d. Improvement Program Work sessions will be held with City Staff to discuss the results and determine a suitable transportation improvement program. 4. Non - Development Scenarios - Traffic forecast data and level of service information will be prepared for non - development scenarios. Use will be made of the long -range version of NBTAM, and data to be prepared will include ADT volumes, peak hour intersection volumes and levels of service. The non - development scenarios will include a no -build alternative, a baseline (current GP) and two alternatives. 5. Parking Analysis - A comprehensive parking analysis will be carried out. It will involve a weekday parking survey for all parking areas and parking buildings in Newport Center, and will show utilization throughout the day by location. The results will then be equated to, existing land use and trip generation to identity current usage patterns. A detailed parking evaluation will then be carried out, including the following. 2 9neupo1ftWELV.upd 0 .,Sep,22 99 04:30p Austin -Foust (7141 667 -7952 p -5 a. An evaluation of existing parking standards and recommendations for new parking A>) standards. The standards will identify the number of parking spaces to be supplied center -wide while ensuring the provision of adequate parking for all uses. The parking rates will take into consideration uses that have different and /or similar peak hour demand, and special uses such as luxury office uses and their parking demand will be addressed and part of the overall parking needs assessment. b. Shared parking concepts will be evaluated, and where applicable used to minimize the total number of parking spaces supplied center -wide while ensuring the provision of adequate parking for all uses at all necessary times.General guidelines will be provided regarding maximum distances and location of parking areas and structures from their intended uses. C. Parking strategies that encourage alternative parking arrangements such as decentralized parking, peripheral parking structures close to businesses, and maximizing the use of shared parking will be identified. d, Methods of transportation demand management and promotion of the use of public transportation will be identified. The results will be prepared in a detailed parking report, describing the current parking characteristics, and outlining the various recommendations for a comprehensive parking plan. 6.. Neighborhood Traffic Impacts - A special evaluation will be made of potential neighborhood traffic impacts on the residential area immediately east of MacArthur Boulevard. A work session will be held with staff and other appropriate participants to discuss the issue, and then existing conditions and future conditions with the proposed project will be addressed. Potential mitigation measures will be identified so that a special contingency plan can be implemented if evidence of neighborhood intrusion occurs in the future. 7 9WF1W•%Pd Sep,22 99 04:30p nustin -Foust (714) 667 -7952 P.6 7. Traffic Report - A comprehensive traffic report -will be prepared summarizing the results of the traffic analysis. It will be prepared in a format suitable for incorporation into the EIR and will form a technical appendix to the EIR. Regular work sessions will be held with the City or their representatives to discuss issues such as TPO findings, trip generation and mitigation measures and to report on progress (up to seven meetings in total).
