Dear Rafat:
Fehr & Peers appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to prepare an update to the Canal
Neighborhood Community -Based Transportation Plan (CBTP) completed in 2006. This proposal
builds on direction provided by City Public Works and Community Development staff on our recent
June 28 call as well as scopes for prior CBTP studies completed for TAM in 2015.
NVO11C4aI_101
Attachment A provides a detailed work plan that describes key work tasks and deliverables
including an engagement plan, an existing conditions summary, meeting agenda packets and
notes, a summary of outreach activities, and the Draft and Final version of the updated CBTP. The
scope also includes six committee meetings (three TAC meetings and three Stakeholder Committee
meetings) and attendance at one City Council Meeting.
FEE AND SCHEDULE
Fehr & Peers would complete Tasks 1 through 7 for a budget of $79,750. The budget includes a
$10,000 stipend for a community-based organization to support the CBTP engagement process.
Invoices will be submitted monthly on a time -and -materials basis. We will prepare a detailed
schedule with City staff that meets the grant deadline for completing a Final CBTP by May 2022,
assuming receipt of notice to proceed by September 1, 2021. We appreciate the opportunity to

ATTACHMENT A
WORK PLAN
Fehr & Peers' Scope of Services outlines our approach and project deliverables. The scope builds on
previous planning and engagement efforts completed in the Canal District as part of the recent San Rafael
General Plan 2040 Update effort and documented in the March 20, 2020 document titled History, Safety,
Parking, and Quality of life for Latinos in San Rafael: Community Engagement and Urban Planning for the
Next 20 Years prepared by Ricardo Huerta Nino and Communities in Collaboration, LLC (in partnership with
Voces del Canal Leadership Team and Canal Alliance). Just under half the scope and budget is devoted to
gathering additional input and direction from the Canal community including the project Stakeholder
Committee. A smaller portion (about 15 percent) of the scope and budget is dedicated to original analysis
of transportation strategies identified by the community or by our consultant team to address
transportation needs and barriers. We will use the analysis budget to focus on topics and answer questions
highlighted by the community in the first half of the project.
TASK 1: PROJECT INITIATION
Project Goals, Objectives, and Detailed Schedule
Fehr & Peers will work with City staff to review and finalize project goals, objectives, and schedule and
discuss public outreach activities. We assume one round of revisions may be made to the work plan and a
draft schedule.
Project Review Committees
The task of recruiting committee members (Technical Advisory Committee, Community Stakeholder
Committee) will be the responsibility of the City of San Rafael staff. Fehr & Peers will collaborate with City
of San Rafael staff in the development of a candidate list of committee members for consideration.
Technical Advisory Committee: Comprised of city staff and agency partners that may include staff from
Marin Transit, Golden Gate Transit, TAM, and Marin County Health & Human Services (Employment and
Training Branch).
Stakeholder Committee: Comprised of Canal community leaders and supporting organizations that may
include representatives from Canal Alliance, Voces del Canal, Bahia Vista and Laurel Dell Elementary Schools,
Davidson Middle School, San Rafael High School, Conservation Corps North Bay, Mission Evangelica Peniel,
Pickleweed Library, Marin Community Clinics (access to new planned clinics outside Canal neighborhood),
Community Action Marin, and Multicultural Center of Marin.
Deliverable #1A Draft Goals, Objectives, and Schedule
Deliverable #1B Final Goals, Objectives, and Schedule + Committee Listserves
TASK 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS SUMMARY
A first step for this task will be a benchmarking evaluation of the 2006 Canal Neighborhood CBTP
recommendations, and other study recommendations relevant to the Canal Neighborhood, to identify what
has and has not been accomplished on previous plan wish lists.

OIRK PLAN
The Draft Existing Conditions Summary will contain four sections: Community Profile, Transportation
Context, a summary of Community Engagement input obtained from Canal Neighborhood stakeholders as
part of the recent General Plan Update, and Relevant Studies/Reports/Plans. The summary will build on
available demographic and traffic data as collection of new data is not included in the work plan. The
summary will be presented to the TAC for review and comment prior to transmittal to the Stakeholder
Committee in Task 3. At this meeting, the TAC will discuss the existing conditions summary and provide
recommendations for subsequent elements of the studies.

TASK 3: INITIATE COLLABORATIVE PLANNING AND OUTREACH PROCESS
Fehr & Peers has experience engaging low-income and primarily Spanish-speaking communities. Using
lessons learned from these past experiences, there are three principles of engagement that we would follow
in the Canal Neighborhood:
Make it easy. Create project information materials and event notifications in Spanish and English
that are easy to understand and access.
Make it relevant. Send a clear message as to why the project matters and how public input will
help shape the community's future.
Go to where the people are. Use grassroots organization techniques to generate enthusiasm about
the project and gather feedback in a setting frequented by neighborhood residents.
The success of a community engagement program lies within the proper identification of the target
audiences, communication channels, and venues. Fehr & Peers will work with City staff to invite and include
Canal Alliance representatives on the team, to be funded through a $10,000 stipend, to help make these
identifications for inclusion in the draft Canal Neighborhood Community Outreach Plan. Preliminary ideas
are included in Task 4, below. The Consultant Team will present the draft outreach plan to the Stakeholder
Committee for review and refinement.

TASK 4: IMPLEMENT COMMUNITY OUTREACH PLAN
Community engagement for the CBTP will build on recent input collected as part of outreach efforts for the
San Rafael General Plan Update, the San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, and the March 20, 2020
A2
ATTACHMENT A
WORK PLAN
document titled History, Safety, Parking, and Quality of life for Latinos in San Rafael: Community Engagement
and Urban Planning for the Next 20 Years. The input collected for each of these efforts was robust and
provides a strong foundation from which to start CBTP outreach. The following engagement strategies are
recommended to inform the CBTP. These strategies will be confirmed with Canal Alliance and the
Stakeholder Committee:
1. Spread the Word — with support from City staff, members of the Stakeholder Committee, team
member Canal Alliance, and other interested groups, Fehr & Peers will publicize the project goals,
timeline, and ways to participate. This will include social media, website notice, email distribution
and postings on transit, transit stops, and in local markets.
2. Gather Transit Input via Surveys
and Drop -In Sites — We will
develop a simple electronic and
paper survey to gather input from
transit riders and potential transit
riders. The survey will be translated
into Spanish, distributed
electronically via neighborhood
organizations, apartment
complexes and business
associations, offered as a paper
survey at local gathering spots such
as Pickleweed Library, and
administered as an intercept survey
at local bus stops. The Consultant
Team will administer the intercept
surveys and host up to three (3) drop-in hours at local gathering spots.
3. Gather General Input via Focus Groups — The Team will work with City staff to conduct two focus
groups. The conversations will aim to confirm transportation -related pain points identified in the
previous Canal Neighborhood engagement efforts and add any new concerns that have manifested
in the time since those plans were completed. The group will also be'asked to prioritize
improvement project types. These focus groups will be facilitated by Fehr & Peers and will be hosted
by a local community organization. The make-up of these groups will be determined at part of Task
3. If desired, the Stakeholder Committee could be one of the focus groups. Focus groups may be
conducted entirely in Spanish if invitees indicate that as their preference on the RSVP form.
4. Host Open House to Facilitate Review of Draft Plan - Key elements of the Draft Plan and
Implementation Plan described in Task 6 will be presented to the general public for feedback in
an Open House format with different stations for different components of the Plan. This event
would take place at a local community center such as a school, library or park and would include
food and activities for children.

TASK 5: IDENTIFY TRANSPORTATION GAPS AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
In this task, Fehr & Peers will conduct a technical analysis to assess the key gaps in the transportation
networks for the Canal neighborhood study area.
The first part of the task will be to organize the findings from the initial phase of community outreach into
distinct gap categories. We expect the gaps to generally fall into mode -based categories, such as transit,
bicycle, pedestrian, and automobile -specific categories, although some may be multi -modal in nature. Once
categorized, any similar or overlapping gaps can be assessed to determine overarching themes upon which
to focus recommendations. To facilitate this task, a spreadsheet will be developed to categorize information
on gaps, recommendations, and with a grading system for each gap category. This will provide a simple
structure that will facilitate the ranking process. Effectiveness and feasibility criteria will be developed and
included in the spreadsheet, which will be the basis of the final grading. Throughout the process, the focus
of the consultant team, when working with the TAC, will be on the feasibility of fixes for identified issues.
As part of this task, the following information will be identified for each recommendation:
Preliminary identification of order -of -magnitude costs
o Use recent capital and operational costs in Marin County and neighboring counties
Potential funding sources
o Many are provided in the 2006 Canal Neighborhood CBTP which will be
updated/supplemented by our knowledge of new Federal legislation and local/regional
grant programs
Potential for effective and/or efficient implementation
o Lessons learned from the benchmarking assessment of the Canal Neighborhood CBTP and
relevant San Rafael reports (Task 3) will be applied to the new CBTP so that potential
solutions are those that are demonstrably implementable, and that identified barriers are
at least known and preferably mitigated through our proposals.
The draft presentation will outline a prioritized list of the gaps and associated improvements. Cost effective
transit improvements will be key to addressing gaps in the Canal Neighborhood, and Fehr & Peers will draw
upon technical expertise in this field with shuttles and other bus service, to determine the best possible
transit solutions to bridge the gaps identified. We will collaborate with Marin Transit and Golden Gate
Transit to explore the feasibility, cost, and timing of potential transit solutions. Fehr & Peers will also draw
upon our wide-ranging expertise in active transportation (which includes access to the bicycle & pedestrian
technical discipline group) to propose inclusive, effective, and context -sensitive active transportation
solutions.

TAC and Stakeholder Committee Meetings
At these meetings, the consultant team will present a preliminary list of prioritized recommendations. To
help facilitate the ranking discussion, the consultant will prepare a preliminary scoring system, whereby
each gap will have an associated rating on a three-point Likert scale relating to: cost-effectiveness, number
of people impacted, effectiveness of potential solutions, and most importantly the level of community
support. The consultant team will also predetermine the consistency of potential solutions with relevant
planning and policy documents.

TASK 6: DRAFT COMMUNITY-BASED TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Fehr & Peers will assemble the task -level technical and outreach reports into a draft action plan. As part of
this task, we will work with the TAC to develop an Implementation Plan, which will include an initial
prioritized program of transportation improvements matched with potential funding streams. The program
will categorize projects that can be implemented in the next 6 months (quickbuild), <2 years, 2-5 years, 5-
10 years, and long-range/visionary. Key elements of the Draft Plan and Implementation Plan will be
presented to key stakeholders and the general public for feedback in an Open House format. Our budget
assumes one round of revisions to the Draft Plan and PowerPoint based on one set of consolidated
comments.
Fehr & Peers will meet with the TAC to review the feedback from the Open House and comments on the
Draft CBTP. The Stakeholder Committee will then convene to review the final direction from the TAC and
provide final comments on the CBTP.

TASK 7: PREPARE AND PRESENT FINAL COMMUNITY-BASED TRANSPORTATION PLAN
In this final task, Fehr & Peers will prepare the final plan for presentation to the San Rafael City Council. We
will work with members of the Stakeholder Committee and participants from the outreach process to
develop presentation materials and will attend these final meetings in a support role. We assume one round
of revisions to these materials based on a set of consolidated comments.
