Scope of Work(October 21,2022)
Assistance to Expand the City of Ukiah's SB 743 Approach to Include Multimodal Networks
A. Additional Services to be Performed:
Task AA: SB 743 Miti ation Options
Building off of the methodology recently approved by City Council to establish a transportation impact
framework that is consistent with SB 743, including performance standards and thresholds of significance
GHD will prepare a technical memorandum outlining impact reduction and mitigation options. These may
include changes to project land uses,density, and design.These may also include consideration of GHG
reducing strategies from the updated California Air Pollution Control Officers Association(CAPCOA)
Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions,Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and
Advancing Health and Equity(CAPCOA Handbook).
GHQ also proposes to establish a quantifiable mechanism to reduce transportation impacts through the
construction of high-quality bikeways that can extend the safe non-motorized travel range of workers and
residents. This mechanism will build off of the GIS platform developed and approved by City council to
calculate SB 743 transportation impacts for land development projects.This mechanism would allow for an
offsite improvement to reduce project specific SB 743 impacts through bikeway network gap closures,and
through the improvement in the quality of the bikeway network, as measured in improved bikeway service.
This task includes a kick-off meeting(as an internal workshop)with City Staff to establish a preliminary
framework(facility type,facility score,analysis scope)to guide the subsequent analyses and development of
the hex based tool to include multimodal networks.This task also includes consideration of other viable score
improvement(VMT reduction)strategies outside of the hex-based GIS tool.
Task A.2: Citywide level of Traffic Stress Analysis
GHD will complete a Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress(BLTS)analysts and network connectivity assessment
that will measure the quality of multimodal connectivity between hex grid destinations using the existing and
planned bike network to compare between existing conditions and the General Plan 2040 Buildout scenario.
Level of traffic stress (LTS)is a suitability rating system from the perspective of different subsets of the
population,which measures the perceived comfort,safety and convenience associated with bicycling or
walking in or adjacent to vehicle traffic. Studies have shown that 60 percent of the population will be deterred
from bicycling or walking if an active transportation facility features high levels of traffic stress,and they will
only choose the routes with the highest levels of perceived comfort and safety.l Using the BLTS
methodology,facilities are scored on a one to four scale in which facilities that receive LTS scores of 1 are
considered the lowest stress and highest quality, and those that receive LTS scores of four are the highest
stress and lowest quality.
The BLTS analysis employs the level of traffic stress methodology described in the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT)"Analysis Procedures Manual Version 2, Chapter 14, Multimodal Analysis,"(October
2020).which Is based on based on the paper, Low Stress Bicycling and Network Connectivity, Report 11-19,
published by the Mineta Transportation Institute(MTI)(May 2012).The LTS methodology as reported by
ODOT's latest Multimodal Analysis Procedure Manual Includes updates to the methodology that was
originally published by MTI.The updated methodology includes analysis criteria for new bicycle facility types
that have become more popularly used since the original report was published and considers additional
infrastructure types not analyzed under the original MTI methodological approach.The methodology
considers a variety of roadway infrastructure characteristics includ-ng but not limited to the following: number
of travel lanes(i.e., road width),posted/prevailing speed, roadway functional classification or Average Daily
Traffic(ADT), and degree of separation from the roadway
1 `Four Types of Transportation Cyclists in Portland,'Geller,2006
The level of traffic stress assessment will determine the quality of the existing and planned bicycle network
and allow gaps in high quality network connectivity to be identified. GHD will then create a series of origin-
destination matrices between hex locations,which will measure the percent of connectivity between hex
destinations using the high quality/low stress identified by the BLTS analysis.
The results of this analysis will be incorporated with the$B 743 methodology, prepared by GHD and recently
adopted by Ukiah City Council.
Task A.3: Calculate Im act Reductions for Multimodal Network Im rovements
GHD will develop a process to modify hex scores to account for existing connectivity via multimodal networks.
From this baseline modified hex score,a score modification process to account for investments in active
transportation infrastructure will be developed based on anticipated increases In opportunities for low-stress
bicycle connectivity,and a commensurate decrease in VMT through an increase in bicycle use.The intent of
this analysis will be to provide a mitigation quantification mechanism for development projects that could
otherwise cause a potentially significant CEQA transportation impact,even if the proposed new or Improved
bikeway investment is not immediately adjacent to the proposed project.
Task AA Council Presentation
GHD shall prepare a presentation and present the recommendations of Tasks A.1 and A.3 at up to two(2)
City Council meetings via video call.
B. Compensation:
GHD estimates completion of draft tech memos 4 weeks after Notice to Proceed.Work will be performed on a
not-to-exceed time and materials basis, broken down by staff in estimated hourly increments as summarized
on Table 1. GHD will internally fund a portion of this work under our Delivery Transformation budget
(described as"GHD Portion"below). Therefore,after subtracting the GHD Portion:the total compensation for
these additional services('City Portion")will be for an amount not to exceed $21,525.
