EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF WORK
Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Plan - Phase III
The Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Plan will be executed in two phases.
RBF Consulting will not initiate work on either phase of this scope of work until written
notice to proceed is provided by City of Carlsbad staff.
Phase 1 Development of Conceptual Traffic Calming Design
(Notice to Proceed #1)
Task 1.0 Project Management
RBF Consulting will be responsible for providing the City of Carlsbad and RBF Task
Leaders (Project Team) with monthly progress reports, which will include the following:
o Monthly Project Team Meetings, including preparation and distribution of
agendas and meeting minutes;
o Monthly Progress Reports, summarizing schedule, budget and action items
o Monthly Updates to Decision Log and Action Item Lists
o Monthly Schedule updates
All agendas and meeting minutes will be distributed to the Project Team within one week
of the scheduled Project Team meeting. RBF Consulting will be responsible for
maintaining and distributing a decision log for the project that will be distributed monthly
with the meeting minutes to the Project Team.
The RBF project manager will coordinate regularly with the City's project manager on
schedule and budget updates. Issues and decisions that will affect the budget will be
discussed prior to the monthly Project Team Meetings. Information regarding schedule
and budget updates will be distributed to the project team via email prior to each of the
schedule Project Team Meetings.
Task 1.1 Kick-off Meeting
Working together with City staff, the RBF Team will schedule, prepare agenda for and
conduct a kick-off meeting. Attendees should include key City staff and RBF task
leaders. The goal of the meeting will be to exchange information regarding the project,
establish communication protocols and establish the project schedule. A portion of the
kick-off meeting will be conducted in the field along the study corridor in order to visually
understand the key issues identified in the first two phases of the project.
Task 1.2 Establish Baseline Conditions
The RBF Team will prepare a base map of all streets within the Project Area of Influence
(PAOI) using an aerial photograph of the study area and information collected in Task
1.1. The base map will be field reviewed to ensure accuracy and to identify potential
project constraints. The information will be compiled into base design concept sheets.
In addition, the project team will create materials summarizing potential traffic calming
tools that will be used to convey potential options to the community during the
workshops and with the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Committee (NTCC) and staff.
Such materials will include matrices of potential traffic calming tools and large boards
illustrating potential traffic calming options. The potential traffic calming tools will be
limited to only those features included in the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management
Program. These materials will be used throughout the project.
Task 1.3 Neighborhood Kick-off Workshop
The RBF Team will prepare a Powerpoint presentation, related graphics and existing
conditions maps for the Neighborhood "Kick-Off1 Workshop. The RBF Team will be
responsible for facilitation of the meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to educate the
residents within the PAOI on the Phase III process as well the history of the project.
Potential traffic calming measures that could be implemented in their community will be
described during this meeting. Residents will be asked to provide their input regarding
the existing conditions and traffic concerns along the corridor.
A minimum of one to two members of the NTCC will be identified by City staff prior to the
Neighborhood Kick-off Workshop. City staff will coordinate with NTCC members in
selecting the date, time and location of the Kick-off Workshop. City staff will be
responsible to secure the meeting location and payment of any facility fees.
At the Kick-Off Workshop, the NTCC members will be introduced to the community and
additional committee membership opportunities will be announced. RBF Consulting will
provide an interest list sheet at the meeting where interested parties can identify
themselves. It will be the responsibility of the initial members of the committee to identify
and select the remaining members.
The RBF Team will provide a "camera ready" flyer for the meeting. City of Carlsbad will
be responsible for reproducing the flyers and distributing the flyers to the community.
Task 1.4/1.5 Traffic Calming Concept Plan Meetings & Preliminary Design
Upon the establishment of the NTCC, the RBF Team will schedule a kick-off meeting
with the community members and City staff. During this meeting, we will establish a
series of meetings that will be conducted either in the evening or on weekends in order
to accommodate NTCC schedules. The frequency of meetings and location of meeting
will be determined during the kick-off meeting.
Following the kick-off meeting, a series of three working meetings will be conducted to
develop the initial concept plan. However, it may be determined through the process
that fewer or additional meeting may be necessary. These changes to the schedule will
be made at the discretion of the NTCC. The focus of each meeting will be as follows:
o Meeting 1 - RBF Team works with the community and discusses existing
concerns along the study corridor, identifies potential traffic calming measures to
address the issues, and conducts hands-on exercise to mark up an aerial photo.
o Meeting 2 - RBF Team reviews constraints and potential concerns with NTCC.
Focus of the meeting will be revising the concepts and addressing concerns
raised by RBF Team, City staff and the NTCC.
o Meeting 3 - RBF Team presents Traffic Calming Concept Plan to NTCC and City
staff. Pending consensus by the NTCC, the RBF Team would prepare for
presentation of findings to residents within the PAOI. Copies of the plan would
be provided to NTCC members so that the information could be shared and
discussed between community members.
Following each meeting, RBF will take the concepts developed by the committee and
prepare conceptual plans to illustrate the concepts. Constraints and potential concerns
will be identified during conceptual design process. The plan will be revised following
each meeting by RBF Consulting.
Traffic Calming Concept Plans will be prepared in AutoCAD to a scale that is acceptable
to City staff. The plans will illustrate existing property lines, driveways, parking, utilities
and drainage features. Impacts to these existing conditions will be clearly identified in
the draft Traffic Calming Concept Plan developed by the NTCC and discussed at the
working meetings.
For each meeting, the RBF Team will maintain meeting minutes that will be available to
the committee for review and comment. Meeting minutes will be emailed within two
days of the meeting.
Task 1.6 Neighborhood Workshop - Presentation of Traffic Calming Concept
Plan
The RBF Team will be responsible for scheduling, preparing materials for and
conducting the second of two Community Workshops. This meeting may be held on
either a Saturday morning or weekday evening to encourage community participation.
The date and time of this meeting will be determined by the NTCC and announced at the
neighborhood Kick-off Workshop if possible.
During this workshop, NTCC members will present the Traffic Calming Concept Plan to
the community and discuss the reasons for the tools selected and placement of the
traffic calming elements. The RBF Team will be available to assist in responding to
question and addressing design elements of the plan. All materials for the presentation
will be prepared by RBF Consulting. This includes graphics, Powerpoint presentations
and handouts. RBF Consulting will be responsible for preparing a "camera ready" flyer
that will be submitted to City of Carlsbad.
City of Carlsbad will be responsible for reproducing the flyers and distributing the flyers
to the community. If necessary, it will be City of Carlsbad responsibility to secure the
meeting location and pay any facility fees.
Task 1.7 Survey Residents within Project Area of Influence
The RBF Team will provide 11"x17" copies of the Traffic Calming Strategy to City of
Carlsbad staff for distribution within the community within one week of the second
community meeting. The RBF Team will also assist City staff in developing a support
survey that will be distributed to residents within the PAOI. Reproduction of materials
and distribution to the community shall be the responsibility of City of Carlsbad. A
minimum of two weeks should be allotted for residents to file their responses to the
survey. The RBF Team will recommend strategies to the NTCC members help
maximize the return rate on the surveys.
Task 1.8 Determining the Next Steps
Following the survey submittal deadline, the RBF Team will coordinate an NTCC
meeting to discuss results of the survey and determine the "next steps" for the project.
One of three actions will occur:
o Option 1 - If a two-thirds percent approval is not achieved, then the NTCC may
decide to revise and resubmitted to the community. Task 1.9 has been
established to address this work program.
o Option 2 - If support is low or clear direction is not given it may be necessary to
forego improvements in the study area. The RBF Team will then conduct a
project closeout meeting with City staff and NTCC. A brief report summarizing
the results of the process will be prepared, as summarized in Task 1.10.
o Option 3 - In the event, the Traffic Calming Strategy is approved with two-thirds
support on the first pass, the RBF Team will prepare a summary report of the
findings of the Phase III traffic calming program. Task 1.10 has been established
that will include preparation of a summary report. If the Traffic Calming Strategy
is approved, the RBF project manager will present the strategy with City staff to
the City Council (Task 1.11).
Task 1.9 Additional Meetings/Revisions to Concept Plan
This task will be initiated only if the necessary approval required in the Carlsbad
Residential Traffic Management Plan is not reached (a two-thirds majority with a 40%
return rate) and the NTCC determines that refinements to the concept plan would
achieve the necessary support.
RBF Consulting will schedule and conduct a meeting with the NTCC to determine what
changes could be made to the concept plan. RBF Consulting will revise the plan and
distribute to the Project Team/NTCC for approval. Once the NTCC is satisfied with the
revised Traffic Calming Concept Plan, the plan will be redistributed to the community at
an Open House type community meeting. Mail voting will reinitiated.
RBF Consulting will be responsible for preparing the necessary graphics and materials
for the NTCC meetings and community Open House, which includes the survey and flyer
for the meeting.
City of Carlsbad will be responsible for reproducing and distributing the flyers and
surveys to the residents in the PAOI.
This scope of work assumes that if the second survey does not reveal the necessary
support, as summarized in the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Plan, the
process would end. RBF Consulting would proceed with Task 1.10 and prepare the
summary report.
Task 1.10 Summary Report
Once all tasks are completed in Phase 1 of this work program, RBF Consulting will
prepare a summary report that will include the steps taken in the project. Results of the
community outreach efforts and concept plans will be included in the report. The report
wiil include a summary of the surveys conducted.
Task 1.11 Attendance at City Council Meeting
If determined to be necessary, RBF Consulting will be available to attend up to one (1)
City Council meeting to review the findings of the Carlsbad Residential Traffic
Management Plan - Phase III efforts for the PAOI. During this meeting, RBF Consulting
will be available to assist with the presentation and respond to comments from the City
Council and community.
Phase 2 Preparation of Traffic Calming Improvement Plans, Specifications
and Cost Estimates
All tasks included in Phase 2 of this work program will be conducted pending the written
authorization by City of Carlsbad to proceed.
Task 2.1 Phase 2 Kick-off Meeting
The RBF Team will work together with City of Carlsbad in establishing a schedule for the
completion of both design and environmental review at a Phase 2 kick-off meeting.
