Task 4.2c: Trip Generation, Distribution and Assignment DA will coordinate with ICI and City staff to determine the land uses for each phase of the project. DA will use published trip generation rates in Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation to calculate the trips for retail, mixed-use, and medical use. However, since published ITE rates do not accurately reflect the trip generation characteristics of Kaiser Medical Centers, DA will do a field check of the existing Hayward Kaiser Center as well as review environmental documents previously prepared for Kaiser projects in the cities of Oakland and Modesto (to be supplied by the City) to verify and fine tune the trip generation. DA will also collect data at the existing Albertson's Distribution Center and account for the trips generated by the existing site. All trip generation assumptions will be submitted for review and approval by ICI and the City prior to start of the traffic forecasts. DA will use the new Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA) Countywide travel demand model to distribute the retail, mixed-use and medical trips onto the local and regional roadway network. The model will also be used to assign the trips to the roadways and intersections. DA will apply standard incremental adjustment methods to minimize model errars based on differences between counts and assignment base model turning volumes. Task 4.2d: Travel Forecasts DA will prepare traffic forecasts using the ACCMA model. The model will be validated to existing conditions and then applied to all scenarios, including no-project and project. It is proposed to run the project scenarios using the model so as to realize the benefit of alternative modes, including transit, and to use the model for trip generation, trip distribution and trip assignment from/to the project. The project trips generated by the model will be reviewed against standard ITE trips to ensure the model is reflecting reasonable trip making characteristics with reductions for pass-by and transit use. The following eight scenarios have been proposed: 1. Existing (2007) 2. 2009 without Project 3. 2009 with Project Retail 4. 2015 with Project Retail 5. 2015 with Project Retail and Medical Center 6. 2030 without Project(without the Aladdin Avenue Extension) 7. 2030 with Project Buildout (without the Aladdin Avenue Extension) 8. 2030 with Project Buildout (with the Aladdin Avenue Extension) Although a 2015 No-Project analysis is not required, DA will still be required to implement the model for this condition in order to check the model is producing reasonable results at the 2015 level (before adding the project). The model will output traffic volumes at study intersections and roadway links for the a.m. and p.m. peak 1-hour. Since the demand model does not forecast weekend conditions, it is proposed Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and EIP Associates Page 25 of 43
