CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. 7
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR TRAFFIC
ENGINEERING SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TRAFFIC PHASING
ORDINANCE (TPO) STUDY FOR PHASE II CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOAG
HOSPITAL MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Linscott, Law & Greenspan Engineers to
prepare a Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) study for proposed construction of Phase II of the
Master Plan of Development for Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.
DISCUSSION:
It is recommended that the City retain a consulting firm to provide traffic engineering services
for the next phase of development of the Hoag Hospital campus. On May 11, 1992, an
environmental impact report and traffic study was approved by the City Council for the Master
Plan of Development of Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.
The Master Plan of Development called for three phases of construction to complete the upper
and lower campus. Hoag Hospital has completed a portion of their Phase I development and is
proposing to begin construction on a large building known as the East Tower. However,
because the proposed project would exceed the threshold on PM Peak hour trips allowed for
Phase I, a TPO Study is required for additional development to occur as Phase II.
The consulting firm of Linscott, Law & Greenspan Engineers has performed traffic studies for
numerous projects within the City in the past and is well qualified to prepare the traffic analyses
needed for this project. The attached Professional Services Agreement has a cost of $40,400
and includes details on the Scope of Work to be completed by this consultant.

SUBJECT: REVISED
PROPOSAL TO PREPARE A TRAFFIC IMPACT & PARKING STUDY
FOR THE HOAG HOSPITAL MASTER PLAN: PHASE II
Newport Beach, California
Dear Ms. Divan:
As requested, Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this proposal to
prepare a Traffic Impact & Parking Study related to the.Phase II development of Hoag Hospital's
Master Plan. Based upon our meeting with you and Mr. Rich Edmonston on October 26 and
December 14, 1999, and with you on June 8, 2000, the TPO Analysis that is required for Phase II
of the Hospital's Master Plan should focus on a short-term timeframe (i.e., by the Year 2005),
rather than the long -term evaluation that has already been incorporated in the City's General
Plan. As we understand it, this long -term analysis included all three phases of the Master Plan
(Phases I, II, and III).
We are also aware that the preparation of the Traffic Impact & Parking Study for the project
should conform to the procedures outlined in. the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) dated
July 13, 1999.
Therefore, the scope for the study will primarily identify any potential project - related traffic
impacts and possible improvements, if any, at the completion of the Master Plan's Phase II (i.e.,
one year after the completion of Phase II, as required by the TPO). The City's General Plan
traffic analysis model, and long -term horizon year, will not be used or "run" in the study, since
future traffic forecasts already developed by the City for cumulative project traffic will be
directly applied, and Phase II project - generated traffic will be estimated through explicittfocused-
area assignment by LLG.

In addition, the proposed work scope includes the following primary tasks:
• Validation of the traffic generation forecasts and resultant mitigation measures associated
with Phase I. This will require traffic generation surveys of existing conditions at Hoag, so
that empirical trip rates could be developed. The surveys will be conducted at two isolated
facilities (James Irvine Surgery Center and Cancer Center), and for the entire hospital. (the
surveys were already performed by collecting daily traffic counts along 21
driveways /roadways within the campus)
• Provide very detailed and thorough discussion on "Gross Square Footage" versus "Effective
Square Footage" for the purposes of estimating traffic generation for the project
• Evaluation of up to three land use scenarios (to be developed and identified by Hoag
Hospital) as "Project Alternatives"
• Develop approximate cost estimates for mitigation measures (if any), and identify the
project's potential fair -share contribution to each physical improvement (if any)
• Review of site access and internal circulation within the project site
• Review of the parking rates developed for Phase I, and the results of the most recent Parking
Utilization Survey performed at Hoag Hospital, in order to estimate parking requirements for
Phase II
• Comment on TDM compliance for the project
SCOPE OF WORK
The methodology defined in the following sections reflect the City's requirements and our
interpretation of the study's needs.
Task 1: Project Initiation and Coordination
Along with Hoag Hospital representatives, LLG will meet with City staff to obtain a clear
understanding of the project description and objectives, and to review in detail the elements
identified in our scope of services. All issues of concern to the City will be identified and
discussed, with the study /data collection methodology confirmed during this initial meeting. Any
available relevant information such as current traffic count data, study horizon,
background /ambient traffic growth rate, list of cumulative projects, programmed roadway
improvements, and any previous traffic studies conducted in the study area will be obtained.

Task 2: Data Collection/Existing Conditions Inventory
We will analyze the existing traffic operating conditions within the study area. Per City staff's
directions, and being consistent with the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Master Plan
Traffic Impact and Parking Analysis prepared by LSA Associates, Inc. (dated September 27, 1991),
the following 15 intersections will be analyzed in detail:
1. Orange Street & PCH
2. Prospect Street & PCH
3. Balboa Boulevard/Superior Avenue & PCH
4. Riverside Avenue & PCH
5. Tustin Avenue & PCH
6. Dover Drive/Bayshore Drive & PCH
7. Bayside Drive & PCH
8. Jamboree Road & PCH
9. Newport Boulevard & Via Lido
10. Newport Boulevard & Hospital Road
11. Superior Avenue & Placentia Avenue
12. Newport Boulevard southbound "off- ramp" & PCH
13. Superior Avenue & Hospital Road
14. Hoag driveway & Hospital Road
15. Hoag driveway & PCH
LLG has obtained all recent (1998 and 1999), available peak hour traffic counts from the City at
the study intersections, and expect to receive 2000 counts soon. In addition to the 21 daily traffic
count locations within the campus, new counts were collected during the morning and afternoon
commute peak hours on a typical weekday (i.e., 7 -9 AM, 4 -6 PM) for the Hoag driveway &
Hospital Road intersection.
An inventory of existing roadway physical characteristics will be conducted for all facilities
within the study area (i.e., intersection lane configurations, widths, posted speed limit, adjacent
land use, on- street parking restrictions, etc.).
Task 3: Project Traffic Forecasts
Trip generation of hospital uses are typically estimated by applying trip generation rates
contained in the Trip Generation Manual (6th Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers).
However, because Phase II is planned to be developed in conjunction with the restructuring of
other existing hospital facilities and operations, it is important to consider the overall effect of
these proposed changes on future project trip generation. It is equally important to validate the
trip generation rates applied to Phase I, so that their potential application to Phase II could be
determined.

Existing Traffic Generation Surveys
In order to determine the amount of vehicular traffic currently generated at the hospital, we have
collected 24 -hour traffic counts at Hoag's key driveways /internal roadways for two weekdays.
In addition to the collection of daily traffic counts, we will work with Hoag to determine the
"user group" or person counts currently generated at the hospital. These "user group" counts will
include the number of outpatients, employees, visitors (or the number of inpatients, if the number
of visitors are not tracked), and volunteers. We will then translate these person trips to an
approximate vehicle volume using industry standards for Average Vehicle Occupancy (AVO).
The estimated volume will be adjusted to include ambulance traffic and Phase I construction
traffic, then compared to the existing traffic counts collected at each of the hospital's driveways.
This provides an appropriate validation tool for the driveway counts.
Based upon the daily traffic counts, LLG will evaluate the James Irvine Surgery Center and
Cancer Center, in order to develop empirical trip rates that would uniquely represent the
tripmaking characteristics of each medical facility. These empirical rates could then be applied
to the project.
Empirically- Derived Trip Rates for the Project
By dividing the hospital's existing traffic generation by Hoag's size (in terms of square footage,
beds, or employees), trip rates could be derived for the project, and "isolated" project
components (i.e., James Irvine Surgery Center and Cancer Center). These empirical trip rates
will be compared to the factors applied to Phase I in the LSA study. We will get approval from
the City as to which set of trip rates would be appropriate for Phase II.
Project Traffic Generation, Distribution, and Assignment
Traffic anticipated to be generated by Phase II will be based upon the application of trip
generation rates that LLG had identified and developed with the City's approval. The project -
related traffic will be distributed and assigned to the street system based on anticipated travel
patterns to /from the site. The project - related traffic forecast and distribution pattern will be
reviewed by City staff prior to incorporating this information in the traffic report.
We will provide very detailed and thorough discussion on "Gross Square Footage" versus
"Effective Square Footage" for the purposes of estimating traffic generation for the project
Task 4: Cumulative Base Projections
The future Cumulative Base in the Year 2005 will be developed by applying an annual
background traffic growth rate to existing traffic counts and adding the trips generated by
cumulative projects. The annual background traffic growth rate and list of related projects will
be obtained from the City.

The City's General Plan traffic analysis model, and long -term horizon year, will not be used or
"run" as part of the study, since future traffic forecasts already developed by the City through
explicit/focused -area assignment of cumulative project traffic will be obtained, and directly
applied in the study.
Task 5: Traffic Impact Analysis
Using the City's TPO analysis procedure, each of the key intersections will be analyzed to
determine whether a formal analysis using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method
will be required. If the ICU analysis is required, then detailed AM and PM peak hour level of
service analysis will be conducted for the following traffic scenarios:
• Existing (2000)
• Year 2005 Cumulative Base (one year after completion of Phase II) — which includes
background/ambient traffic growth, cumulative projects, and system -wide improvements;
without the project
• Year 2005 Cumulative Plus Project Alternative 1 (i.e., Phase II)
• Year 2005 Cumulative Plus Project Alternative 1 (i.e., Phase II), and any mitigations, if
necessary
• Year 2005 Cumulative Plus Project Alternative 2 (i.e., Phase II)
• Year 2005 .Cumulative Plus Project Alternative 2 (i.e., Phase II), and any mitigations, if
necessary
• Year 2005 Cumulative Plus Project Alternative 3 (i.e., Phase II)
• Year 2005 Cumulative Plus Project Alternative 3 (i.e., Phase II), and any mitigations, if
necessary
Task 6: Project Alternatives
LLG will evaluate of up to three land use scenarios (to be developed and identified by Hoag
Hospital) as "Project Alternatives ".
Task 7: Mitigation Measure Cost Estimates, Project Fair Share Contribution, and
TDM Compliance
LLG will develop approximate cost estimates for mitigation measures (if any), and identify the
project's potential fair -share contribution to each physical improvement (if any). City staff will
be consulted on the appropriate fair -share equations to use for the project. In addition, we will
also comment on TDM compliance for the project.

Task S: Site Access and Internal Circulation Analysis

LLG will evaluate and comment on the proposed internal circulation scheme of the project,
focusing on:
• Site access adequacy and safety (i.e., number of access points, ingress/egress operations, any
potential conflicts with adjacent driveways)
• On -site circulation design (i.e., lane geometrics, traffic volumes, sight clearance, stopping
distance, throat lengths, vehicle stacking at site driveways, storage /queuing requirements)
• Building/structure layout
• Parking layout
• Transit and pedestrian connections/circulation and access
• Emergency /service /delivery truck access
Task 9. Parking Analysis
We will review the parking rates developed for Phase I, and the results of the most recent Parking
Utilization Survey performed at Hoag Hospital, in order to estimate parking requirements for
Phase II.
Per City staff direction, the Parking Utilization Survey conducted by Hoag Hospital most recently
can be used to identify existing parking demand and characteristics. Through "practical
estimation", as opposed to City parking code -based calculations, we will derive parking demand
ratios from the empirical data, and apply it to Phase II to estimate the future parking demand at
Hoag. The estimated demand will then be compared to the proposed parking supply to determine
any "practical" (i.e., not code - based) surplus or shortfall in parking.
We will also perform parking demand calculations for Phase II based upon the application of
parking rates per the City's Parking Code, and the rates developed for Phase I.
Task 10: Report Preparation
Our findings and recommendations developed as part of the above tasks will be presented in a
report, which will include all necessary tables and graphics.
We will submit a Draft Study (two copies) to you for comments, within six weeks of notice -to-
proceed. Upon receipt of comments from you, we will revise the report (if necessary), and
provide you with three bound copies and one unbound copy of the Final Report.
