indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from
any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations
against Consultant or any subcontractor.

Scope of Services
FOCUSED TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Project Mobilization
1.1 Confirm the development description with the Client, work schedule, and assumptions to
be utilized in the traffic study, inclusive of scope associated with a sensitivity analysis to
determine if the project has a measurable impact. Discuss assumptions to be used
associated with the Project completion year and anticipated phasing, if any, and confirm
existing development totals of the two historic adobes and current uses. Obtain a current
Project site plan that illustrates the access scheme to the Project site in both hard copy
and digital formats.
1.2 Coordinate with City staff to discuss the Project and analysis criteria, confirm the study
approach and identify pertinent traffic issues and concerns, inclusive of land use
assumptions for the purposes of preparing a trip generation analysis.
1.3 In conjunction with Task 1.2, prepare a Scope of Work Agreement detailing the
assumptions and overall focused traffic study requirements submit it to City Staff for
review.
1.4 Based on comments and direction received from City Staff on scope of work agreement,
finalize the scope of work agreement and resubmit it to City Staff for approval.
Task 2: Data Collection and Research
2.1 Visit the Project study area to confirm existing conditions with respect to
existing site development, local area development, site access, parking use, and
areas of congestion in order to verify our overall understanding of traffic
conditions in the area that might affect this Project.
2.2 In conjunction with Task 2.1, document the existing roadway striping, traffic
control measures, curbside parking restrictions, adjacent intersection
configurations along Camino Capistrano, between Forster Street, Yorba Street
and Verdugo Street.
2.3 Obtain existing street improvement plans/striping plans for Camino Capistrano,
between Forster Street, Yorba Street and Verdugo Street for use an evaluation of
site access and potential modifications to facilitate safe ingress and egress from
the subject property.
2.4 Obtain and review existing traffic counts at the following three (3) locations
located in the immediate vicinity of the Project site:
61147.00000\40414152.1
14
1. Camino Capistrano at Ortega Highway
2. Camino Capistrano at Forster Street
3. Camino Capistrano at Del Obispo Street
The weekday AM peak hour and PM peak hour traffic volume data collected at
the above-referenced locations as a part of the draft screencheck El Camino
Specific Plan Traffic Impact Analysis, prepared by LLG, will be used as the
baseline for this Project’s focused traffic assessment.
Task 3: Trip Generation, Distribution and Assignment
3.1 Determine and present in tabular and/or graphic form a trip generation forecast
for the proposed Project on a daily and peak hour basis. The forecasts will be
based on the trip generation rates found in Trip Generation, 11th Edition,
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) [2017]. Appropriate
adjustments to the trip generation potential of the Project to account for the
existing land uses (assuming fully functional uses), internal capture and/or pass-
by traffic, mode split, will be made, if applicable.
3.2 Determine the overall Project trip distribution pattern, considering potential
access opportunities and constraints from Camino Capistrano. The distribution
patterns will be submitted for review and approval by City Staff prior to
finalization and will be used to formalize the study area.
3.3 Assign the forecasted Daily, AM and PM peak hour trips expected to be
generated by the proposed Project to the adjacent intersections and roadway
segments based on existing and anticipated traffic patterns to and from the
Project site, as well as input from City staff.
Task 4: Project Sensitivity Analysis
4.1 Prepare AM and PM peak hour Level of Service (LOS) calculations at up to
three (3) key intersections for the following traffic conditions. The LOS
calculations for key intersections within the City of San Juan Capistrano will be
calculated using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method and/or the
Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) method based on the City's minimum "D"
level-of-service per the General Plan Growth Management Element. The Traffic
Impact Scenarios are listed below:
1. Existing Traffic Conditions,
