II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The improvements will be located on Anderson Road in Central Davis. Anderson Road is classified as major north-south arterial connecting Central Davis with North Davis and is situated north of the UC Davis campus to the south. Anderson Road provides connections with major east-west arterials including Russell Boulevard, Covell Boulevard, and Eighth Street as well as local shopping centers. The purpose of the proposed improvements for this project is to enhance safety on Anderson Road within the vicinity of Chavez Elementary School by reducing potential conflicts between transit, bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles. Anderson Road serves as the primary access point for Chavez Elementary School therefore the City and Davis Joint Unified School District share a joint interest in improving multi-modal access and circulation conditions along the school’s Anderson Road frontage.

The existing configuration of Anderson Road poses numerous multi-modal conflicts between bicyclist and vehicles occurring along the on-street school loading zones. Vehicles pull in and out from the curb loading zone weaving through the existing bike lane during the morning drop-off period causing conflicts with southbound bicyclists. There also exists conflicts between bicyclists and buses occurring at bus stops near Villanova Drive and Amherst Drive. There are conflicts between pedestrian, vehicles, and bicyclists at the Anderson Road and Rutgers Drive intersection where high volumes of bicyclists and pedestrians mix in the marked crosswalks and conflicts 5with turning vehicles. Between 2009 and 2019 there have been a total of 106 collisions on Anderson Road between Russell and Covell Boulevard. Of these collisions 53 percent involved Bicyclist. This Capital Improvement Project (CIP) consists of bikeway and pedestrian facilities and roadway rehabilitation on Anderson Road between Amherst Drive and Radcliff Drive (approximately 0.4 miles). Physical improvements will include the construction of sidewalks, curbs, gutters, raised pedestrian islands, floating bus stops, adjustment of existing utilities to finish grade, pavement markings and striping, signage, buffered Class 2 bicycle lanes, separated bike lane, isolated areas of roadway structural section repair, traffic signal upgrades, addition of Rutgers Dr leg to the intersection, and asphalt concrete pavement grinding, and an asphalt concrete overlay. Other improvements may include the reconstruction of traffic signal intersection, detector loops and landscape irrigation. Through the preparation of a Safe Routes to School Walk and Bike Audit Report (WBAR) dated to 2014 has identified this project as necessary to improve safety and comfort of non-motorized modes of travel on these street segments. The City of Davis has considered the use of the following improvements to be appropriate for providing the necessary safety for non-motorized modes of travel:
Buffered bike lanes are proposed throughout the entire project length. Separated Bikeway on southbound Anderson Road from north of Villanova Drive to about north Amherst Drive. Low Impact Corner Treatments are proposed at Anderson Road/Villanova Drive intersection to increase pedestrian visibility for drivers, and reduce vehicle speeds. Green bicycle lane panels will provide visual cues to drivers to watch for bicycles at that location.
Sidewalk extensions, pedestrian refuges, and ladder-style crosswalks on Anderson Road at the Cesar Chavez Elementary entrance, Rutgers Drive, Amherst Drive, and Villanova Drive intersections which will significantly improve safety. Floating Bus Islands (transit boarding islands) on southbound Anderson Road immediately south of Villanova Drive and on northbound Anderson Road in front of the United Methodist Church.

Traffic Signal Modifications at the intersections of Anderson Rd and Villanova Dr and Anderson Rd and Rutgers Dr. This would include signal timing upgrades and a bike signal and scramble phase for Rutgers Dr.
This corridor intersects the 13-mile “Davis Bike Loop”, at the intersection of Villanova Drive which showcases the City’s off- and on-street bicycling infrastructure. As a primary east-west bicycle thoroughfare, the proposed upgrades will provide improvement allowing volumes of bicycles and pedestrians to more safely access Cesar Elementary School.

APPENDIX B
PROPOSAL EVALUATION
SELECTION PROCESS
All proposals will be evaluated by a City of Davis Selection Committee (Committee). The Committee may be composed of City of Davis staff and other parties that may have expertise or experience in the services described herein. The Committee will review the submittals and will rank the proposers. The evaluation of the proposals shall be within the sole judgment and discretion of the Committee. All contacts during the evaluation phase shall be through the City of Davis Contract Administrator/Project Manager only. Proposers shall neither contact nor lobby evaluators during the evaluation process. Attempts by Proposer to contact members of the Committee may jeopardize the integrity of the evaluation and selection process and risk possible disqualification of the Consultant. The Committee will evaluate each proposal meeting the qualification requirements set forth in this RFP. The Consultant should bear in mind that any proposal that is unrealistic in terms of the technical or schedule commitments may be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the City of Davis’ requirements as set forth in this RFP. The selection process will include oral interviews. The consultant will be notified of the time and place of oral interviews and if any additional information may be required to be submitted. Consultants invited to interviews will be required to submit cost proposals in sealed envelopes during the interview. Upon completion of the evaluation and selection process, only the cost proposal from the most qualified consultant will be opened to begin cost negotiations. All unopened cost proposals will be returned at the conclusion of the procurement process. Upon acceptance of a cost proposal and successful agreement negotiations, staff will recommend an agreement be awarded. The City will negotiate an agreement that is reasonable and mutually agreeable to the City and the highest rated firm. If there are unresolved issues and negotiations are unsuccessful with the top ranked firm, negotiations with that firm will be formally terminated, and the City may attempt to negotiate an agreement with the next highest ranked firm(s). Aside from announcing the top ranked proposal, the rankings will be kept confidential. The selected Consultant's agreement will be subject to City Council approval. The firm that is selected to do the work must meet the City's minimum insurance requirements. These requirements are included in the sample agreement provided in Attachment 2. After the Consultant is selected, the City and the Consultant will agree to a PSA (Professional Services Agreement – See Attachment 2).

or otherwise fails to perform fully any and all of the agreements herein contained, Consultant
shall be in default.
5.2.2. If Consultant fails to cure the default within seven (7) days after written notice
thereof, the City may, at its sole option, take possession of any Documents & Data (as defined
in Section 7.1) or other materials (in paper and electronic form) prepared or used by
Consultant in connection with the Project and (1) provide any such work, labor, materials or
services as may be necessary to overcome the default and deduct the cost thereof from any
money then due or thereafter to become due to Consultant under this Agreement; or (2)
terminate Consultant’s right to proceed with this Agreement.
5.2.3. In the event the City elects to terminate, the City shall have the right to
immediate possession of all Documents & Data and work in progress prepared by
Consultant, whether located at the Project, at Consultant’s place of business, at the offices of
a subconsultant, or elsewhere and may employ any other person or persons to finish the
Services and provide the materials therefor. In case of such default termination, Consultant
shall not be entitled to receive any further payment under this Agreement until the Project
is completely finished. At that time, if the expenses incurred by the City in obtaining the
Services for the Project exceed such unpaid balance, then Consultant shall promptly pay to
the City the amount by which such expense exceeds the unpaid balance of the not-to-exceed
amount reflected in Section 4.1. The expense referred to in the previous sentence shall

PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES

include expenses incurred by the City in causing the Services called for under this Agreement
to be provided by others, for attorneys’ fees, and for any costs or damages sustained by the
City by reason of Consultant’s default or defective work.
5.3. Termination for Convenience.
5.3.1. In addition to the foregoing right to terminate for default, the City reserves the
absolute right to terminate this Agreement without cause, upon 72-hours’ written notice to
Consultant. In the event of termination without cause, Consultant shall be entitled to
payment in an amount not to exceed the not-to-exceed amount set forth in Section 4.1 which
shall be calculated as follows: (1) payment for Services then satisfactorily completed and
accepted by the City, plus (2) payment for Extra Work approved by the City Manager,
satisfactorily completed by Consultant and accepted by the City, plus (3) reimbursable
expenses actually incurred by Consultant, as provided for in Exhibit D and approved by the
City. The amount of any payment made to Consultant prior to the date of termination of this
Agreement shall be deduced from the amounts described in (1), (2), and (3) above.
Consultant shall not be entitled to any claim or lien against the City or the Project for any
additional compensation or damages in the event of such termination and payment. In
addition, the City’s right to withhold funds under Section 4.3 shall be applicable in the event
of a termination for convenience.
5.3.2. If this Agreement is terminated by the City for default and it is later
determined that the default termination was wrongful, such termination automatically shall
be converted to and treated as a termination for convenience under this Section and
Consultant shall be entitled to receive only the amounts payable hereunder in the event of a
termination for convenience.
6. OWNERSHIP OF MATERIALS AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
6.1. Documents and Data; Licensing of Intellectual Property. This Agreement creates a
fully paid up, exclusive and perpetual license for the City to copy, use, modify, reuse, or

works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, including but not limited to,
physical drawings, designs, graphic representations and data, which are prepared or caused
to be prepared by Consultant under this Agreement (“Documents & Data”). All Documents

termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon five (5) days written notice, Consultant
shall provide to the City reproducible copies of all Documents & Data, in a form and quantity
requested by the City. The City reserves the right to select the method of document
reproduction and to establish where the reproduction will be accomplished. The
reproduction expense shall be borne by the City at the actual cost of duplication. In the event
of a dispute regarding the amount of compensation to which the Consultant is entitled under
the termination provisions of this Agreement, Consultant shall provide all Documents & Data
to the City upon payment of the undisputed amount. Consultant shall have no right to retain
or fail to provide to the City any such documents pending resolution of the dispute. In
addition, Consultant shall retain copies of all Documents & Data on file for a minimum of four
(4) years following completion of the Project or termination of this Agreement, whichever is
earlier, and shall make copies available to the City upon the payment of actual reasonable
duplication costs. Before destroying the Documents & Data following this retention period,
Consultant shall make a reasonable effort to notify the City and provide the City with the
opportunity to obtain the documents.
6.2. Subconsultants. Consultant shall require all subconsultants to agree in writing that
the City is granted a fully paid, non-exclusive and perpetual license for any Documents &
Data the subconsultant prepares under this Agreement. Consultant represents and warrants
that Consultant has the legal right to license any and all Documents & Data prepared by
Consultant or its subconsultants. Consultant makes no such representation and warranty in
regard to Documents & Data which were prepared by design professionals other than
Consultant or its subconsultants, or those provided to Consultant by the City.

6.3. Right to Use. The City shall not be limited in any way in its use or reuse of the
Documents & Data or any part of them at any time for purposes of this Project or another
project, provided that any such use not within the purposes intended by this Agreement or
on a project other than this Project without employing the services of Consultant shall be at
the City’s sole risk. If the City uses or reuses the Documents & Data on any project other than
this Project, it shall remove the Consultant’s seal from the Documents & Data and indemnify

Consultant shall not be responsible or liable for any revisions to the Documents & Data made
by any party other than Consultant, a party for whom the Consultant is legally responsible
or liable, or anyone approved by the Consultant.
6.4. Indemnification. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its directors,
officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents free and harmless, pursuant to the
indemnification provisions of this Agreement and in accordance with the language of Section

7.1. Assignment; Successors. Consultant shall not assign any of its rights nor transfer any
of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the City. Any

assigns.

relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant, any subconsultant,
anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone that they control (collectively

Agreement nor completion of the Services under this Agreement shall release Consultant

termination or completion.

Consultant in the performance of this Agreement. If Consultant fails to obtain such
indemnity obligations from others as required, Consultant shall be fully responsible for all

requirement imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of
any rights hereunder.

forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Consultant and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or this Section.

have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of the City in any capacity whatsoever

based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that remain
unresolved after all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, claims, and/or
changed conditions have been followed by Consultant. If no such Government Code claim is
submitted, or if any prerequisite contractual requirements are not otherwise satisfied as

Estimated total of Direct Labor Salary Transfer to Page 1 = Increase $7,871.10
NOTES: 1. This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the %
increase, the# of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year.
2. An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the# of years is notacceptable.(i e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs= $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology)
3. This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted.4. Calculations for anticipated salary escalation must be provided.

Facilities Capital Cost of Money % (if applicable)
Fiscal period *
* Fiscal period is annual one year applicable accounting period that the Indirect Cost Rate was developed (not the contract period). The Indirect Cost Rate is based on the consultant’s one-year applicable accounting period for which financial statements are regularly prepared by the consultant.
I have reviewed the proposal to establish an Indirect Cost Rate(s) for the fiscal period as specified above and have determined to the best of my knowledge and belief that:
• All costs included in the cost proposal to establish the indirect cost rate(s) are allowable in accordance with the cost principles of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapter 1, Part 31 (48 CFR Part 31);
• The cost proposal does not include any costs which are expressly unallowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR Part 31;
• The accounting treatment and billing of prevailing wage delta costs are consistent with our prevailing wage policy as either direct labor, indirect costs, or other direct costs on all federally-funded A&E Consultant Contracts.
• All known material transactions or events that have occurred subsequent to year-end affecting the consultant’s ownership, organization, and indirect cost rates have been disclosed as of the date of this certification.
I am providing the required and applicable documents as instructed on Exhibit 10-A. Financial Management System:
Our labor charging, job costing, and accounting systems meet the standards for financial reporting, accounting records, and internal control adequate to demonstrate that costs claimed have been incurred, appropriately accounted for, are allocable to the contract, and comply with the federal requirements as set forth in Title 23 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 112(b)(2); 48 CFR Part 31.201-2(d); 23 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 172.11(a)(2); and all applicable state and federal rules and regulations.
Our financial management system has the following attributes: • Account numbers identifying allowable direct, indirect, and unallowable cost accounts; • Ability to accumulate and segregate allowable direct, indirect, and unallowable costs into separate cost

accounts;
• Ability to accumulate and segregate allowable direct costs by project, contract and type of cost; • Internal controls to maintain integrity of financial management system; • Ability to account and record costs consistently and to ensure costs billed are in compliance with FAR; • Ability to ensure and demonstrate costs billed reconcile to general ledgers and job costing system; and • Ability to ensure costs are in compliance with contract terms and federal and state requirement
Cost Reimbursements on Contracts:
I also understand that failure to comply with 48 CFR Part 16.301-3 or knowingly charge unallowable costs to Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) contracts may result in possible penalties and sanctions as provided by the following:
• Sanctions and Penalties - 23 CFR Part 172.11(c)(4) • False Claims Act - Title 31 U.S.C. Sections 3729-3733 • Statements or entries generally - Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 • Major Fraud Act - Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1031

Section 112(b)(2), 48 CFR Part 31, 23 CFR Part 172, and all applicable state and federal rules and regulations.

The key goals for the Anderson Road-Cesar Chavez Elementary School (Chavez ES) Improvementproject is to improve overall safety, reduce conflicts between multiple modes of transportation, andimprove the safety and organization at the pick-up/drop-off location at Chavez ES. The proposeddesign elements were vetted through an iterative process involving detailed planning and communityoutreach. Beginning in 2014 with the City of Davis’ completion of the Walk Bike Audit Report, whichaddressed elementary schools within the City, Chavez ES was ranked the highest priority for safetyimprovements. In 2017-2018, the City completed a comprehensive streetscape improvement planwhich included extensive community outreach and established a long-term street design vision forAnderson Road between Covell Boulevard and Russell Boulevard. Stemming from this plan, the Cityof Davis partnered with the Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD) to address the improvementson Anderson Road between Villanova Drive and Amherst Drive as Phase I. The project was reviewedwith the public virtually through a recorded workshop July 22-August 7, 2020; a live virtual communityworkshop and Recreation and Park Commission meeting in September; a Bicycling, Transportationand Street Safety Commission; and City Council meetings in October.
From the north of the corridor at the intersection of Villanova Drive, the project will relocate theexisting merge lane just south of Radcliff Drive, north of the project area. Near the intersection ofAnderson Road and Villanova Drive, bus boarding islands will be installed to reduce conflicts betweenbuses and bicycles. Low impact corner treatments at Villanova Road, would be installed withtemporary treatments with surface treatments like paint, and plastic delineators to serve as a pilotproject. These treatments will help separate turning conflicts between bicycles, pedestrians andvehicles, allowing left and right turning vehicles to yield to the crossing when there is overlap withsignal phasing. When the entire corridor is constructed, lessons learned from this temporaryapplication and create permanent intersection treatments.
The other significant treatment for the project is the relocation of the on-street drop-off and pick-upfor Chavez ES to the school parking lot. A new west leg into Chavez ES’ parking lot will be added tothe Rutgers Drive intersection as ingress only. The parking lot will be one-way with angled parkingand a drop-off/pick-up at the school frontage. Staff parking will be relocated to Anderson Road with aspecial neighborhood permitting process. The Class II buffered bicycle lane will be between the curband the staff parking on Anderson Road, which will have a special permitting process. Furthermore,additional staff parking located south of the southern Chavez ES driveway, will be provided through aDJUSD/City agreement with Redwood Park. The intersection of Rutgers Drive will have a newnorthbound left turn pocket to separate conflicting movements with turning vehicles and bicycles andpedestrians. Southbound, a new right turn pocket to access Chavez ES will operate with a non-conventional bike signal to separate the movements, so when it is not during the school peaks,southbound vehicles and bicycles can operate simultaneously and right-turning vehicles will get theirown signal phase to separate conflicts out. Finally, this intersection will operate with a scramble phasewhere all four legs can cross simultaneously to limit conflict with turning vehicles.
The design treatments are operationally feasible, with minimal impact to vehicle congestion, whileproviding for, as well as encourage, transit, walking and bicycle use. Several conceptual options wereprovided and reduced to these particular design elements that were thoroughly analyzed andreviewed by the City of Davis, DJUSD, and the neighboring community. Furthermore, theseenhancements will encourage bicycle and walking for all abilities along the corridor.

Narrative Question for a funding request involving a Project Development (Environmental, Design,ROW) phaseHow will this award help complete a phase of technical work? (e.g., completes environmental,preliminary engineering, etc.) What funding sources (e.g., local/ regional/state/federal) have youidentified as a promising strategy to fund the construction phase of your project? (Suggested length: 2-3paragraphs)
The Anderson Road-Chavez Improvement Project went through an extensive planning process since2014 with the completion of the City of Davis Walk Bike Audit Report, 2018 Anderson RoadStreetscape Planning & Outreach, and this Phase 1 project, which included planning, high level,detailed conceptual design and analysis. This considerable effort has expended approximately$145,000 from the City of Davis General Fund. There is a strong commitment to complete aroadway improvement project on this corridor, with this project as the inaugural beneficiary ifawarded.
With the City of Davis’ partnership with the Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD), the projectwill be able to contribute the 11.47% local match contribution of approximately $390,000. Of thatcontribution, approximately 18% will be programmed towards detailed design and engineering. Theremaining amount of the local match will be dedicated to construction related costs.
Further strides to ensure the project is complete is the inclusion of the Anderson RoadImprovements corridor in 2020 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategywith a focus on Anderson Road-Chavez ES Phase 1 project as a priority project for the corridor.

Modernization BenefitsDescribe the project modernization benefits in the context of up to two of the following outcomes (i.e.,choose to respond to one or two of the following outcomes):
☐ 1. Reduce regional vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and/or greenhouse gases (GHG)
☒ 2. Increase multi-modal travel/alternative travel/choice of transportation options
☐ 3. Provide long-term economic benefit within the region
☐ 4. Improve goods movement
☒ 5. Improve safety and security
Projects will be evaluated on the selected outcome(s). The PPA data table will give quantitativeindicators for the outcome(s). (Suggested length: 4-5 paragraphs.)
The 2020 SACOG Project Performance Assessment tool (PPA) was reviewed with the two keyoutcomes improve safety and security and increase multi-modal travel. The Regional Program toolwas utilized, inputting the project segment along Anderson Road between Villanova Drive andAmherst Drive, 11,000 Average Daily Traffic, 70 Pavement Conditions Index (PCI), and 30 miles perhour speed limit. In addition to the vehicles, 2,100 bicyclists and over 100 buses travelling along thecorridor per day. These indicators, along with current statistics, show that Anderson Road is a multi-modal street, however, based on safety, operations analysis and community input, the plannedimprovements can enhance the roadway and encourage all ability of bicyclists to travel along thecorridor, as well as provide facilities for pedestrians to access transit stops and Chavez ES. The PPAprovides several indicators per benefit. The applicable indicators are applied to the project.
Per the PPA Safety Benefit, the Safety Indicator 3 compares fatalities and bicycle and pedestrianinvolvement in the project area with community type and region. The data provided is equivalent tothe City’s finding of 56% of collisions involve bicycles and pedestrians, which is a larger than thecommunity and region, which is 13% and 12% respectively. Safety Indicator 1 shows 9 collisionsbetween 2014-2018. The posted speed limit in the corridor is 30 mph, however the average speed is32 mph, and the 80th percentile speed is 36 mph. This is considerably high for a roadway that hasresidential homes and an elementary school fronting the roadway. The Anderson Road segment,between Russell Bouelvard and Covell Boulevard, was ranked third highest ranked in collisionscitywide. In the project corridor, Anderson Road at Villanova Drive has a higher density of collisions.The level of traffic stress (LTS) for bicyclists measured between one to four, with one being the mostcomfortable and four the least comfortable. Anderson Road’s LTS is ranked as three. Other riskfactors include the wide travel lanes that encourage higher speeds, long crossing distances, winderintersections corner radii encouraging higher turning speeds, and single family homes frontingAnderson Road. Common to the roadway, there are conflicts between bicyclists and buses weaving,or leap-frogging, where buses have to cross the bike lane for a pick up at the curb in the southbounddirection near Villanova Road. A similar situation of conflicts between cars and bicyclists on AndersonRoad near Rutgers Drive as students are dropped-off and picked-up at the curb and cars are weavingand merging onto Anderson Road. Rutgers Drive also experiences conflicts with parents/caregiversparking along Rutgers and crossing Anderson Road to drop off, toggling between the turningmovements to access the school.

Per the PPA Multimodal Benefit, Indicator 1, Street Connectivity, the project corridor has 0.23intersections per acre within a 0.25 miles of the project compared to the community type at 0.12intersections and region at 0.01 intersections. Indicator 3, Transit Activity, shows that the project has20.16 stops per acre, compared to the community type at 0.53 stops per acre, and region at 0.07stops per acre. Flanking the project corridor, there is dense transit activity at Villanova Drive andAmherst Drive. Two transit lines operate along Anderson Road: Unitrans, the University of CaliforniaDavis and City of Davis local bus service, and Yolobus, operated by the Yolo County TransportationDistrict (YCTD) which connects Sacrament, West Sacramento, Woodland and Davis. The UnitransGeneral Manager’s Report, Fiscal Year 2019-20, ranked the Routes J-Line and G-Line on AndersonRoad first and second in ridership with an annual ridership of 331,000 and 323,000 respectively. Perthe Yolobus 2020 Comprehensive Operational Analysis of YCTD Yolo GO, Routes 42A and 42B alongthe project corridor, rank first and third for local/regular routes, with an average daily weeklyridership of 690 and 555 riders per day.
Cesar Chavez Elementary School has a population of over 600 students, and operates as a Spanish-language magnet school, which means students from outside the school boundary, school, creatingthe potential for larger vehicle trips to the school than other schools. Demographically, the schoolhas approximately 50% white/Caucasian, 32% Hispanic/Latinx, 8% Asian, and 1% African American,with over 10% of the population receiving free or reduced lunch. Though Anderson Road has a Class IIbicycle facility, the high volumes of vehicle traffic can discourage students from biking to school. In a2019 City of Davis Parent Survey of travel mode to school, Cesar Chavez ES students travel modeswere as follows: 11% walk, 20% bike, 5% carpool, and 64% travel by family vehicle. The proposedintersection improvements at Rutgers Drive, restriping of crosswalks and scramble phase to allow forall four legs of the intersection for pedestrian crossing, is encouraging for students that live east ofAnderson Road to access the school. The relocation of the school drop off and pick up to the parkinglot will also prevent weaving between the bicycle lane and curb on Anderson Road. The separatebicycle facility, located adjacent to the curb, between the proposed staff parking, provides a bufferfrom vehicle travel. This is also beneficial for bicycle commuters that travel to and from the UC Daviscampus.
It should also be noted that though only two benefits were to be discussed, the PPA Tool shows thatthe project has a Complete Streets Index of 49.39 and Socioeconomic Equity Indicator has 97% of thepopulation living in an Environmental Justice Community live within a half-mile of the project location.

Project Deliverability & Readiness(1) Describe any project delivery risks and how you will resolve them; (2) Describe community and policybody support for the project; (3) Discuss the O&M commitment and resources for the capitalimprovement once it is completed, or for the requested transit asset improvements. (Suggested length:2-3 paragraphs.)
The City considers project delivery risks to be fairly low with this project. All improvements are withineither the City's right-of-way or on DJUSD property and close collaboration has occurred between theCity and DJUSD. The most significant risk we foresee is if Caltrans determines some core projectfeatures are not eligible expenses. The City contacted SACOG staff very early in the preliminary designprocess (March 2020) regarding eligibility for our project's features. The City proceeded withdeveloping the design concepts presented here and to our community based on those discussions. IfCaltrans deems core project features ineligible, our team has two options. The first option is toconsider increasing local funding contributions to construct the preferred alternative. The secondoption is to revert to a second design concept we developed which eliminates improvements on theChavez ES school site. The City-DJUSD team regrets that many of the preferred design's benefits willbe lost, but would still represent a significant improvement over existing conditions.
As noted, community input into this project has been extensive. The 2014 Walk Bike Audit report wasa dedicated school-community process to identify needed active transportation safety improvementsat all elementary schools and junior high schools, including Chavez ES. The City also built off thatprocess and conducted dedicated planning & outreach process for Anderson Road that completed in2018 to establish a broader corridor vision. In preparation for this grant application, the City held twocommunity workshops, conducted a community survey on proposed design improvements, providedproject visuals in plan-view format, cross-sections, renderings, and animated trafficmodeling/simulations to improve our community's level of comfort with the project. Finally thisproject was reviewed by the City's Bicycling, Transportation, and Street Safety Commission as well asthe Park and Recreation Commission, the latter for their support on converting park turf forreplacement parking, which was unanimously supported.
Both the City and DJUSD recognize that maintenance obligations accompany the constructedimprovements within their respective rights-of-way. Project maintenance factored into the designsdeveloped for this application. For example, while the broader corridor vision imagines a landscapedcenter median with shade trees, the City has restricted this phase to primarily functional safety anddesign features. This will ensure future maintenance obligations can be accommodated withinexisting maintenance and operations budgets.

October 22, 2020 Mike Webb, City Manager City of Davis 23 Russell Blvd Davis, CA 95616 Please accept this letter in full support of the Anderson Road Improvement Grant Application the City is preparing. The Concept 2, if approved for grant funding, includes improvements on the César Chávez Elementary School Campus. Specifically, the improvements on the campus would include changes to the Rutgers/Anderson signaled intersection, a new vehicle access curb cut, and a re-alignment of the existing visitor and school staff parking lot. The second concept also includes the construction of parking on the north frontage of Redwood Park. It is the District’s understanding this new parking lot to be built on City park property would be for the exclusive use of DJUSD visitors and staff during school business hours. DJUSD support of Concept 2 is predicated on the provision of additional parking at Redwood Park as outlined by City staff. The District understands there is a matching share requirement for the grant and the District is committed to providing a matching share amount of approximately $220,000 which is based on the 11.47% local match requirement and the project cost estimate provided by City staff for improvements on the elementary school campus. The District has been very pleased with the process used by the City to develop the grant proposal and we are very hopeful the grant will be approved so that much needed safety improvements can be made. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely,
John A. Bowes, Ed.D. Superintendent
