pursuant to this section.

termination of this Agreement, said insurance coverage shall survive for a period of not less than
five years.
6. The insurance policies shall provide for a retroactive date of placement
coinciding with the effective date of this Agreement.
7. The limits of insurance required in this Agreement may be satisfied by a

contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and
noncontributory basis for the benefit of CITY (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement)
before CITY'S own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named
insured.
8. It shall be a requirement under this Agreement that any available insurance
proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements
and/or limits shall be available to CITY or any other additional insured party. Furthermore, the
requirements for coverage and limits shall be: (1) the minimum coverage and limits specified in this
Agreement; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or

satisfied by either the named insured or CITY or other additional insured party. At CITY's option,
the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to CITY shall be reduced or eliminated to
CITY's satisfaction, or CONTRACTOR shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and
related investigations, claims administration, attorney's fees and defense expenses.
D. Proof of Insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide to the PROJECT
MANAGER or CITY'S City Attorney all of the following: (1) Certificates of Insurance
evidencing the insurance coverage required in this Agreement; (2) a copy of the policy
declaration page and/or endorsement page listing all policy endorsements for the commercial
general liability policy, and (3) excerpts of Dolicv language or specific endorsements
evidencing the other insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement. CITY reserves the
right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements from
CONTRACTOR. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
exercise it later. The insurance shall be approved as to form and sufficiency by PROJECT
MANAGER and the City Attorney.

members of the consultantteam may join in person or participate via telephone or video conferencing.
These meetings will be included on the schedule to coincide with decision points in the process (i.e.
deliverable of key products, prior to public forums, etc.)
1.2 A project schedule will be prepared using Microsoft Project (or similarformat) and provided for review
and comment atthe kick-off meeting. The schedulewill be updated as necessaryto reflectany changes
to the timeline as discussed with and approved by City staff.
Stakeholder Engagement Meetings
1.3 Four in-person stakeholder engagement meetings will be scheduled (if possible, these will be held prior
to conducting parking surveys so as to inform the parking surveys in Task 2 if needed). The stakeholder
meetings may be with one or more groups at a time and include HOAs, business interests, and/or a City
Council subcommittee. The meetings will include a discussion of the project purpose and
methodology, with an overall goal of eliciting key concerns of each stakeholder. City staff will assist W -
Trans will meeting organization.
Following development of draft recommendations, stakeholders will be invited to a public forum to
comment on the draft plan. The public forum is assumed to be a City Council Study Session or
something similar.
Deliverables: Agendas and Meeting Notes for all coordination and stakeholder meetings; Project Schedule and
updates
Task 2: Preliminary Studies and Research
Parking Surveys
2.1 The study area for the parking occupancy counts will be broken down into small sub -areas, such as
was done by staff for the prior data collection effort, and a map provided for staff approval prior to
initiating data collection.
2.2 Data will be collected for each sub -area between 8:00 p.m. and midnight on two weekdays and 2:00
p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on one Saturday on a cycle that allows observation of each segment at least once
hourly.
2.3 The Project Manager will perform observations during one of the occupancy survey periods to gain
familiarity with the area and the findings, as well as weekday periods to observe off-peak parking
issues (i.e. street sweeping).
2A The parking occupancy data will be tabulated to determine the peak occupancy for each area
individually as well as for the study area as a whole.
Recommendations
2.5 From the data as well as site observations, recommendations will be developed for potential measures
to both increase parking capacity and reduce parking demand and alleviate existing parking
shortages. These preliminary measures will be discussed with staff prior to preparing a written report.
Exhibit A
Parking Study
2.6 A draft parking study detailing the data collected, observations, findings and recommendations,
including graphic presentations of recommendations where appropriate, will be prepared and
provided to City staff for review and comment. The report will also include an analysis of the benefits
and negative impacts of each alternative together with the cost for each. The alternatives will be
presented in a matrix, with each option ranked and preferred option(s) indicated.
2.7 The initial draft will be presented to City staff at a meeting with staff only for review and comments.
2.8 Comments from staff will be addressed and a public review document prepared.
2.9 The Project Manager will prepare for and make a presentation to City Council at a public hearing
regarding the process and outcomes.
2.10 Input from the public hearing will be incorporated as appropriate and a final parking study produced.
Deliverables: Preliminary draft parking study, Public Review draft parking study, PowerPoint presentation and
supporting exhibits, Final parking study
Task 3: Contingency

Canal Neighborhood Parking Study
Project Understanding
The Canal Area presents substantial challenges in terms of its parking supply. The residential neighborhood
hosts apartments with relatively low rents, some of which are shared by multiple unrelated adults, affordable
condominiums, townhomes with a price near mid-range for the area, and single family homes with docks and
deep water access. While some of the residences have adequate off-street parking in the form of garages or
reserved parking spaces, most of the apartment dwellers have only one dedicated space to serve the two or more
vehicles associated with the tenants. Similarly, owners of the condominiums and townhomes use their garages for
storage or even living space, thereby increasing use of street parking. The parking needs are further exacerbated
by the commercial uses, including automobile repair, market, fast food, and gas stations, that ring the area and
also require use of street parking. Finally, while outside the study area, the Marin Health & Wellness Campus at the
corner of Kerner Boulevard and Bellam Boulevard may result in some demand for on -street parking during peak
periods.
In approaching this project it will be important to identify specific locations where parking is fully used, indicating
a need for additional supply. Previous work has indicated that the most intense need for parking is in the core of
the area where there is the highest concentration of apartment buildings and commercial uses, but the parking
study should be broken down into smaller, more discreet areas so that the source of the demand can be more
easily identified.
Once the demand has been mapped, consideration should be given to ideas previously reviewed and evaluated
by City staff as well as "twists" on these ideas together with new ideas developed by the consulting team. It
appears that traditional solutions may not be palatable to staff, local residents, and/or policymakers, so thinking
that is"outside the box"will be critical to reaching workable solutions.

Project Approach
Task 1: Project Management and Coordination
1.1 The project manager will attend up to four coordination meetings with City staff in San Rafael. Other
members of the consultant team may join in person or participate via telephone or video conferencing.
These meetings will be included on the schedule to coincide with decision points in the process.
1.2 A project schedule will be prepared using Microsoft Project (or similar format) and provided for review and
comment at the kick-off meeting. The schedule will be updated as necessary to reflect any changes to the
timeline as discussed with and approved by City staff.
Deliverables: Agendas and Meeting Notes for all coordination meetings; Project Schedule and updates
Task 2: Preliminary Studies and Research
2.1 The study area for the parking occupancy counts will be broken down into small sub -areas, such as was
done by staff for the prior data collection effort, and a map provided for staff approval prior to initiating
data collection.
2.2 Data will be collected for each sub -area between 8:00 p.m. and midnight on two weekdays and 2:00 p.m.
and 8:00 p.m. on one Saturday on a cycle that allows observation of each segment at least once hourly.
2.3 The Project Manager will perform observations during one of the occupancy survey periods to gain
familiarity with the area and the findings.
2.4 The parking occupancy data will be tabulated to determine the peak occupancy for each area individually
as well as for the study area as a whole.
2.5 From the data as well as site observations recommendations will be developed for potential measures to
both increase parking capacity and reduce parking demand and alleviate existing parking shortages. These
preliminary measures will be discussed with staff prior to preparing a written report.
2.6 A draft parking study detailing the data collected, observations, findings and recommendations, including
graphic presentations of recommendations where appropriate, will be prepared and provided to City staff
for review and comment. The report will also include an analysis of the benefits and negative impacts of
each alternative together with the cost for each (eight projects and costs estimates are assumed). The
alternatives will be presented in a matrix, with each option ranked and preferred option(s) indicated.
2.7 The initial draft will be presented to City staff at a meeting with staff only for review and comments.
2.8 Comments from staff will be addressed and a public review document prepared.
2.9 The Project Manager will prepare for and make a presentation to City Council at a public hearing regarding
the process and outcomes.
2.10 Input from the public hearing will be incorporated as appropriate and a final parking study produced.

Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Parking Study - City of South Sacramento
W -Trans conducted a comprehensive parking survey in 2014 of the Kaiser Permanente campus in South Sacramento.
Key issues included surveying and developing parking management strategies for patients, staff, visitors and
deliveries. The parking lots and garage were individually surveyed to establish peak usage patterns throughout the
week. Based on staff shifts, visiting hours, outpatient scheduling, peak parking demand hours, and building access
locations, W Trans made recommendations on how to manage the parking resources in a more efficient manner.

San Bruno CalTrain Area Parking Study - City of San Bruno
W -Trans conducted before and after parking surveys of the CalTrain area in San Bruno in response to concerns about
potential on -street parking impacts associated with the relocation of the CalTrain station. Working in collaboration
with City staff, a study was defined surrounding the former and current CalTrain station areas so that on -street parking
levels could be measured. A report was prepared and presented to the City's traffic Safety and Parking Committee,
with recommendations for future monitoring and parking management strategies if warranted.

Santero Way Traffic and Parking Study - City of Cotati
The traffic impacts and parking needs of a proposed apartment project were evaluat-ed in the context of a mixed
use specific plan area near the SMART rail line. While the plan contained lower parking requirements due to the
mixed use nature and transit access, the interim condition with only housing resulted in demand that was not
consistent with the assumptions in that Plan. Parking occupancy counts were performed to determine demand
rates associated with existing apartment dwellers versus the remainder of the housing stock. The analysis
T Canal Neighborhood Parking Study
supported the proposed parking supply, which substantially exceeded the minimum required, as being sufficient
not only to meet new demands but to offset existing over -capacity conditions.

Spinster Inn Trip Generation & Parking Study - City of Santa Rosa
To support an application to expand a small existing restaurant to include hotel rooms and a small retail space
without adding on-site parking, W -Trans performed a parking occupancy survey to determine current demand
and potential available supply for a two -block area surrounding the project site. Counts were performed at various
times of day on both weekdays and weekend days to ensure that worst-case conditions were captured.

Vineyard Creek Hotel Expansion - City of Santa Rosa
The potential impacts on traffic operation associated with adding 100 rooms to an existing 155 -room hotel were
evaluated for the weekday peak hours. Similarly, pedestrian, bicycle and transit access were all evaluated to ensure
that upon completion of currently planned facilities as well as those proposed as part of the project, site access
would be adequate. The adequacy of parking was evaluated within the framework of the Downtown Station Area
Specific Plan as well as more detailed shared parking demand concepts based on the sizes and mix of components
at the site. The analysis provided support for the City to reduce the parking required on-site and retain a currently
undeveloped area for a future building pad in lieu of creating additional parking.

In addition to the projects listed above, Mark Spencer also completed the following parking projects
while working at another firm.
Downtown Morgan Hill Parking Resources Management Plan - City of Morgan Hill
The Plan's goal is to increase efficiency of available City parking resources and to create a strategy to finance and
phase in additional parking over the next twenty years in response to anticipated growth. Key elements of the plan
included parking inventory and demand analysis, surveys and outreach to business owners and resident stakeholders,
phasing of development and parking needs, integration with the Downtown Plan, and tiered recommendation
strategies. Mr. Spencer managed this project and made several presentations to the community and elected officials.
Downtown Salinas Parking Plan - City of Salinas
The Salinas Parking Plan was designed to implement paid parking as a strategy to manage parking behavior in the
downtown core. The City has experienced a boom in development with a new cinema and museum, and recently
added a garage. Among the Plan's key issues are debt service analysis, revenue forecasting, and parking allocation
of publicly available spaces for visitors, employees and merchants. The downtown core was analyzed as a series
of zones, and a detailed sensitivity analysis of parking location vs. pricing was prepared to assist decision makers
with choices regarding fee structure, enforcement requirements, and other related items. Various technology
options were considered as part of the plan, including pay stations and automated enforcement. Mr. Spencer
managed this project, met with local merchants to ascertain their concerns, prepared the report and made several
presentations to the stakeholders.
Santa Clara University Areawide Parking Study - City of Santa Clara
This study evaluated neighborhood parking as well as on campus parking in order to assess the effects of increasing
off -campus housing densities on parking. Recommendations included a residential permit parking program,
changes in enforcement levels and timing, and other parking management strategies. Mr. Spencer managed this
project and made presentations to the community and City Council.

San Jose State University Spartan Stadium Parking & Transportation Plan - City of San ,Jose
Mr. Spencer led the analysis of parking and traffic issues associated with stadium events including college football
and professional soccer. Ingress and egress plans were developed in cooperation with university, city and police
personnel. Parking management strategies including targeted enforcement and revisions to the residential permit
parking program. The Plan included an Intelligent Transportation Systems element, strategies for small and large
events, outreach to the residents, and various information dissemination programs.
Downtown San Jose Parking Guidance System - City of San Jose
The PGS goal is to integrate communications infrastructure with parking management in a downtown core
area. Through real-time monitoring of parking in both public and private facilities the City is now able to direct
motorists to available parking throughout downtown. Mr. Spencer developed the concept plan for the PGS,
including a phasing plan, sign location and content, and integration with the City's traffic management center
and ITS program. Mr. Spencer and City staff co-authored several papers on the plan and presented the findings at
ITE and TRB Meetings. The initial phase of the PGS is now operational throughout downtown San Jose.
