Subject: . Proposal for Dublin Crossings Transportation Analysis
, Dear Ms. Bourgeois:
. .
Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare a .
. transportation analysis for the proposed Dublin Crossings development within the Camp Parks
property. The project is a mixed-use development located on a 187-acre site north of Dublin
Boulevard, east of Dougherty Road, south of 5th Street; and west of Arnold Drive. Camp Parks
faCilities that are located within the development area will be consolidated north of sthStreet. The
project would be built over a number of phases. This scope of work includes analysis of six
.development phases;
Hexagon will assist with development of the specific plan including street alignments and cross-
sections, transit connections, and bicycle and pedestrian connections through the property to the
existing developed areas of Dublin. Hexagon will prepare a traffic impaCt analysis for the
development and will prepare the circulation section of the project EIR. The following presents the
detailed scope of work, schedule, and fee estimate.
. . Scope of Services
. .
. .
. .
... '.
The purpose of the traffic analysis is tohelpdefine the project description and to identify traffic
impacts and mitigation measures in accordance with the' requirements of the California
Environmental Quality.Act (CEOA), the City of Dublin, and the Alameda County Transportation
Commission (ACTC). Since the project would generate more than 100 PM peak hour trips, a
Congestion Management Program (CMP) analysiswillbe required. The traffic impact analysis
would include the study of up to 30 intersections (including on-site intersections), 3 freeway.
interchanges, and 20 freeway segments in the vicinity of the site during the weekday AM and PM
peak commute hours. Analysis of additional study intersections, interchanges; or freeway
. segments, if required, will require authorization and additional budget. During each task in the
scope of work, Hexagon will coordinate with Dublin staff. We will ask for review and. approval of
input assumptions and preliminary results before proceeding with each subsequent task.
The tasks to be included in the analysis are as follows:
. .
1. Site Reconnaissance and Existing qbservations. The physical characteristics of the
study area. and the. surrounding roadway network will be observed to identify existing
roadway cross-sections, intersection lane configurations; traffic control devices,and
surrounding land uses. For the scope of this project, there will be approximately 25 off-site
study intersections. Existing traffic conditions will be observed in the field during the peak.

.. periods of traffic in order to identify any operational deficiencies and to confirm the accuracy.
of calculated levels of service.
2. Data Collection. In order to obtain existing AMand PM peak-hour traffic volumes, riew
manual traffic counts will be conducted. Traffic signal cycle lengths and signal phasing will
be obtained from City staff and verified in the field. Data forexistihg transit, bicycle, and
pedestrian facilities in the study area will alsobecollected. Interchange and freeway counts
will be obtained from Caltrans. Additional counts will require authorization and additional .
budget. Information on approved projects will be obtained from the City of Dublin.
3. Site Plan Assistance. . Hexagon will work in cooperation with the project team to develop a
transportation network for the project. Parameters of the network include roadway cross
sections and alignments according to the City of Dublin standards set forth in the General
Plan~ These will include travel lanes, medians, bicycle lanes, parking lanes, bus stops,and
sidewalk widths. The network also may include off-street bicycle paths and trails. The street
network will include intersection connections to the existing Dublin road network.
4. Evaluation of Existing Conditions. The existing operations of the key intersections,
interchanges, and freeway segments will be evaluated with a level of service analysis using
current AM and PM peak-hour volumes. All intersections will be evaluated using TRAFFIX
software in accordance with the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual methodology. Freeway
interchanges will be evaluated based on Volume.:.to-capacity ratios on the ramps. Freeway
segments also will be evaluated based on volume-to-capacity ratios, in accordance with .
CMP requirements. .. .
. .
5. Evaluation of Background Conditions. The City of Dublin will provide link level traffic
volumes for background conditions from the City model. Hexagon will use the link volumes
to forecast intersection tlJrning movements. Planned and funded improvements will be
included in the background analysis. The project would require that the current Camp Parks
gate be relocated and the Camp Parks activities consolidated north of 5th Street.As part of
. the background analysis, the Camp Parkstraffic will be reassigned-accordingly. Level of
service calculations will be performedto evaluate background conditions. .
6. Site Traffic Projections. Based on the size of the proposed development, site-generated
traffic will be estimated using the vehicular trip generation rates recommended by the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation, ffh Edition. Appropriate reductions will .
be used to account for mixed-usedevelopment, transit usage, bicycling, walking, anda
. transportation demand management (TOM) program. Various sourceswill beusedfor the..
reduction factors including the URBEMIS software, the MXDspreadsheet, and the
CAPCOA tripreductionresearch. The directional distribution of site-generated traffic will be
forecast based on previous transportation impactstudies and the Dublin city model. .
Hexagon will run a select zone analysis with the model to inform the trip distribution
assumptions. The site-generated traffic will be assigned to the roadway network based on
the directions of approach and departure discussed above. Hexagon will analyze the- project
in six phases. Trip generation and assignment estimates will prepared for each phase.
7~ Evaluation of Project Conditions. Project-generated traffic will be added to (1) existing
and (2) background traffic volumes. Intersection level of service calculations will be
conducted to estimatethe operating levels of the key intersections, interchanges, and
freeway segments during the AM and PM peak hours after the completion of the proposed
development. A transit analysis will be performed in order to find potential transit trip
generation. This potential trip generation will then be added to existing transit data to
determine. if the existing system is sufficient. The project impact to bicycle and pedestrian
circulation also will be described. Buildout project traffic will be added both to existing and

. . .
background conditions. For the six development phases, projecttrafficwill be added to
either the existing or background conditions~ This will be determined through the ,course of
. the study'in consultation with Dublin staff.
-., .
. . .
8: Site Access & Circulation. A site circulation and access review will be conducted to
determine the adequacy of the proposed site plan in accordance with generally accepted
traffic engineering standards. This will.include a quantitativeanaJysis of traffic at the project
entrances and on the internal roads. Potential queuing impacts will be identified for any
intersections that would experience a large amount of project traffic. Internal intersections
will be evaluated for sight distance, traffic control, and the need for turn lanes. The site will
be evaluated for emergency vehicle and truck access. Parking will be evaluated' against the
City code for adequacy of supply and layout. Appropriate parking reductions for shared
parking and for TDM measures will be discussed. Pedestrian, transit, and bicycle travel will.
also be evaluated on-site and within the surrounding vicinity in order to ensure both
efficiency and safety for all sharing the road. The site access and circulation analysis will be
conducted for each of the six development phases.
9. Congestion Management Agency Assessment. The Alameda County Transportation
Commission (ACTC) requires analysis of all Metropolitan Transportation System (MTS)
roadways to determine project impacts if the project will generate more than 100 PM peak
hour trips. Given the scope and size of the project, it is expected to exceed 100 PM peak
hour trips. In accordance with these requirements, a separate analysis will be done for the
MTS roadways. The analysis Will be based on 2035. model forecast volumes from .the
. Alameda Countywide model on the roadways that would be affected by project traffic, both
arterials and freeways;. The traffic added by the project will be identified as a percentage
increase on theMTS network. Impacts and mitigation will be identified in accordance with
ACTC procedures. The CMP analysis will be conducted forthe buildout project only. .
. .
. "
. '.
. ..
. .
10. Cumulative Conditions. The buildout project will be evaluated in the context of2035 traffic
forecastsJrom the City of Dublin model. Dublin will provide 2035 forecasts for ;the roadways
in the stiJdyarea. These forecasts will be used to derive intersectiontuming movement
forecasts for cumulative conditions with and witnoutthe project. Intersection, interchange, .
and freeway level of serVice calculations will be conducted for the AM and PM peak hours.
. . .
. .
11. Identification of Impacts and Mitigation Measures. Based on the results of the level. of . .
service calculations, impacts will be identified. Mitigation measures will be. formulated that
identify the locations and types of improvements or modifications necessary to mitigate'
significant impacts. Impacts and mitigation measures will be determined for each of the
following study scenarios: existing + project (project buildout),background + project (project
buildout),6 development phases. (added to either existing or background), and cumulative +
project (project buildout). .
12.ProjecfAlternatives. For input to theEIR, qualitative analyses of two project alternatives
will be provided. The analyses for the alternatives will include trip generation and a
discussion of potential reduction to impacts.
13. Assistance with Preparation of Specific Plan: Hexagon will assist Dublin and the project
team in developing the specific planforthe project. Hexagon will review documents and
make recommendations for the transportation network and for transportation policies' to
support all transportation modes including transit, bicycles, arid pedestrians.
. .
. .
- .
14. Meetings. The fee estimate includes attendance at four project team meetings, two
communitymeetings, one Planning Commission meeting, and one City Council meeting,for

atotalof8 meetings. Additional meetings could be attended asan additional se,viceon a
time and materials basis.
15. Reports. .Hexagon will prepare the circulation section of the E1R-, .first as an administrative
. draft and then as a draft. Hexagon will respond to comments on the draft EIR for
incorporation into the final EIR. The fee estimate includes 40 hours for responses to
comments on the DEIR. .
Additional. Services
Any work not specifically referenced in the above Scope of Work-for example analyzing more
than six project phases, analyzing more than 30 intersections, or attending more than 8 meetings-
shall be considered additional services. Additional services will require additional budget and
additional time.
