EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES ______________________________________________________________________________ Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and 9/1/2023 W-Trans for Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey Page 1 of 3 1.0 Project Initiation 1.1 The project manager will host a conference call with City staff to review the most recent surveys and discuss the project schedule, any changes in traffic patterns, road geometrics or other conditions which might affect the new surveys, as well as any future plans to modify roadway characteristics. 1.2 Any roadway segment that has not undergone significant changes since the last evaluation may be eligible for an extension of the certified Engineering and Traffic Survey. Previous Engineering and Traffic Surveys will be reviewed and a list of roadway segments eligible for extension will be developed in accordance with the criteria described in Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code. 1.3 The street segments will be reviewed to determine each roadway’s functional classification per the California Road System Map to ensure that the City is not including street segments for which a survey is not necessary. If any segments that can be radar-surveyed as a local street at 25 mph are identified, this information will be provided to the City for a determination as to whether to survey them or not. In this case, a form will be prepared that details the conditions that make the street a local street for which the speed limit can be radar-enforced without a survey. 1.4 The project engineer (a registered engineer) will drive all the road segments to look for those elements that might affect the safe and reasonable speed for the roadway but that might not be obvious to the casual observer. The field visit will also confirm roadway characteristics such as lane configuration, existence or lack of a sidewalk, parking conditions, bicycle facilities and behavior; adjacent land uses, terrain, general adequacy of stopping sight distance, driveway characteristics, intersection spacing and offsets, etc. can be reviewed and documented by support staff. 2.0 Data Collection 2.1 Locations for conducting the speed surveys will be chosen such that the prevailing speeds should be representative of the entire speed zone and that have minimal impact from traffic signals or stop signs. Prior to the data collection effort, City staff will be asked to review and approve locations for each radar survey and machine count. 2.2 Bi-directional machine traffic volume counts will be provided by the City for every segment. However, this data may not be current, and it may be necessary to gather new more recent data. For planning purposes it was assumed that daily traffic counts will need to be obtained at 70 locations. New traffic volume counts will be obtained for a period of not less than 24 hours for up to 70 street segments (only if none of the data provided by the City is adequately current). These volumes will be collected on weekdays while local schools are in session, avoiding holidays and construction activity or local special events. 2.3 Bi-directional radar speed surveys will be performed using fully calibrated hand-held radar guns during off-peak periods, avoiding the morning (7:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.) and afternoon/evening (3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) traffic peaks. A minimum of 100 vehicles will be sampled for each roadway segment using standard data collection techniques; for lower volume streets (if there are any) a 3-hour survey is proposed with the total number surveyed to be at least 50 vehicles. The radar speed survey shall include only free- flowing vehicles in the traffic stream. Radar speed surveys will be collected from an unmarked vehicle located in an inconspicuous place along the roadway.
