<br />Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised June 2025 <br />Sanbell for Hesperian Bike Lane Gap Closure Exhibit A – Page 5 of 7 <br />Traffic Engineering <br />The Traffic Engineer will provide traffic engineering services for the preparation of design documents for <br />traffic signal modifications at three intersections, signing and striping plans within the project limits, and <br />design of a solar-powered Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at one location. This scope is based <br />on the following assumptions: <br /> <br />The Traffic Engineer will prepare signing and striping plans along Hesperian Boulevard between Bayfair and <br />E. 14th Street, and design a solar-powered Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at one designated <br />location. The scope also includes developing full signal modification plans at the intersection of 150th Avenue <br />and Hesperian Boulevard, as well as upgrading pedestrian push buttons and pedestrian signal heads at <br />Fairmont Drive and Hesperian Boulevard. Signal upgrades will be designed at two corners of the E. 14th <br />Street and Hesperian Boulevard intersection. The scope includes attendance at Bicycle and Pedestrian <br />Advisory Committee (BPAC) and City Council meetings (and/or FTC) as required, and participation in eight <br />virtual design coordination meetings with the team. Additionally, optional services may be provided for full <br />signal modifications at the Bayfair/Hesperian and Fairmont/Hesperian intersections. <br /> <br />The plan sets will include all equipment necessary for both major and minor traffic signal modifications <br />associated with the implementation of Class IV bikeway facilities. Minor modifications will be limited to <br />pedestrian signal heads and Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) push button assemblies. The plans will be <br />formatted to comply with City standards and requirements. Existing signal timing sheets and as-built signal <br />plans for the affected intersections will be provided by the City to support the design process. <br /> <br />The Traffic Engineer will request and review existing signal timing sheets and as-built signal plans for the <br />intersections included in the project scope. In addition, the Traffic Engineer will review the traffic operations <br />memorandum provided by the City and evaluate any available pedestrian and bicycle collision reports within <br />the project limits to identify safety concerns that may be mitigated through the proposed improvements. To <br />support the design process, the Traffic Engineer will also conduct field reconnaissance at the signalized <br />intersections to observe existing traffic operations, verify key measurements, and document site conditions <br />through photographs. <br /> <br />The Traffic Engineer will review and provide input to the team on the geometric layout of the Class IV bikeway <br />design, including the initial conceptual alternatives. Using the topographic survey provided and supplemented <br />by field observations, the Traffic Engineer will develop base plans that serve as the foundation for the design. <br />These plans will illustrate both existing and proposed traffic signal equipment, including poles, signal <br />cabinets, vehicle and pedestrian signal heads, detection devices, pre-emption systems, and lighting <br />components. The level of detail included will be sufficient to support decision-making and cost estimating, <br />while omitting unnecessary details that may become obsolete as the design evolves. Based on the preferred <br />conceptual alternative, a 60% design submittal package will be prepared and will include traffic signal plans <br />with conductor and equipment schedules, along with both standard and project-specific notes. The package <br />will also contain construction details, legends, and draft quantities; signing and striping plans prepared at a <br />scale of 1”=40’ using Caltrans Standard Plans and California MUTCD guidelines; RRFB layout and detail <br />sheets for a solar-powered system; technical specifications adapted from Caltrans Special Provisions to meet <br />City standards; and an engineer’s estimate of probable construction cost based on the 60% design quantities. <br /> <br />The Traffic Engineer will prepare the 90% submittal plans, incorporating all information included in the 60% <br />submittal and revised to reflect comments received from City staff. The technical specifications will be
