EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES Project Description The I-880/Marina Boulevard interchange is currently deficient, and due to be replaced, in part, by the widening of I-880 for the southbound I-880 HOV Lane project. However, that project will not support all costs of the interchange improvements that are needed. Additionally, major development proposals in San Leandro are being developed for application for entitlements, and many of these contribute significant amounts of new traffic to the interchange. The I-880 corridor is at capacity during the peak hours. In the future the forecast models are showing that relatively short trips of one to four interchanges will instead be taken on the local network of streets rather than I-880. It is unknown how this situation will complicate calculations of fair and equitable share participation, but it may reduce the ultimate traffic demand between local land uses and the interchange ramps, especially the on-ramps. Through traffic, of course, cannot easily be charged an impact fee, but just trips between nearby land uses and the interchange ramps. Consultant will consult with the city at several points during the analysis in order to fully explore the implications of future traffic demand forecasts. The City of San Leandro also has an existing traffic impact fee program, the Development Fees for Street Improvements (DFSI) for non-specific improvements throughout the city. That program has several generalized land uses that will be used as the basis for fees by development type in this project. Consultant will use the model already developed for the Kaiser development project in the southwest quadrant of the I-880/Marina interchange. It is assumed that model is adequately calibrated for local conditions. The City has identified development sites within the City with potential interchange-related traffic impacts. In addition, the city has made forecasts for additional development in the general area beyond the known projects, and these will also be coded into the model for the impact fee analysis. Because the ultimate use of the work is to impose a legal fee on future development, it is important to completely document the methods and analysis so that there are no successful challenges to the new fee. To that end substantial resources are required to prepare a comprehensive report. The interchange improvements may also include local, nearby intersections such as Marina and Merced, Marina and Teagarden, and perhaps Merced and Fairway, and Teagarden and Fairway.
