City of San Marcos Transportation Master Plan Scope of Services these documents to existing conditions, and against the projected conditions from the travel demand and corridor analysis models. HDR will also identify issues on an intersection and corridor basis, considering the following: pedestrian access, bike lanes, transit facilities /routes, protection of the environment and city beautification. Using City staff and public input, and the results of all data collection, travel demand model results and corridor analysis results, the HDR Team will develop recommendations for policies to be incorporated into the City's TMP. All travel modes will be addressed, ensuring that the Plan will address the needs of all citizens and visitors to San Marcos. A thoroughfare map illustrating the proposed improvements and timeframe will be prepared as part of this task. Task 7.1 — CIP Project List — Based on the analysis and evaluation described in Tasks 5 and 6, the HDR Team will develop a list of recommended CIP projects on an intersection and corridor level. Task 7.2 — Cost Estimates — The HDR Team will develop probable construction cost estimates for the proposed multimodal improvements identified in Tasks 5 and 6. All assumptions utilized to develop these planning level cost estimates will be documented. Task 7.3 — Project Ranking Criteria — The HDR Team, in conjunction with City staff will develop project ranking criteria to evaluate the improvements and to prioritize them based on implementation timeframe. The systematic and detailed analysis used to evaluate potential transportation improvements in Tasks 5 and 6 will provide important information regarding the prioritization of proposed improvements. The analysis will provide policies, a clear systematic evaluation of each scenario, and a recommended ranking order for the alternative scenarios which will be included in the report. This ranking order will be used to prioritize implementation in the short-term (present to year 2020), intermediate range (2020 to 2025) and long -range (2025 to 2035) horizons, based on demand and feasibility. The prioritization will also include identification of the agency or agencies responsible for implementation. Task 7.4 — Funding Plan — HDR and Prime Strategies will develop a funding strategy to implement the proposed improvements to meet the multimodal mobility challenges for the next 20 years. The HDR Team will evaluate existing funding sources and identify potential new and innovative funding mechanisms to implement the improvements. Deliverables — Table of proposed projects /alternatives including ranking, cost estimate and year of completion. Key maps of projects will be prepared. TASK 8 — Transportation Master Plan Document The findings and recommendations of Tasks 1 through 7 will be summarized and documented in a draft of the final City of San Marcos Transportation Master Plan Report. Findings, assumptions, and methodology used in the TMP development will be explained and documented in a Draft and Final Transportation Master Plan. The main document will be designed to be user friendly with clear and concise text supported by high quality graphics and maps that the general public can easily understand. Recommendations will be explained with the minimal use of technical jargon and in ways that clearly explain their intent and value to the community, and their relationship with the Comprehensive Plan goals. Appendices will provide detailed information and technical back -up to support the recommendations. "Vision San Marcos: A River Runs Through Us" report will be utilized as an example in developing the layout, format and content of the TMP Report to maintain consistencies between the reports. All study activity will be documented throughout the duration of the project so as to maintain accurate and consistent records of all data collection, forecast activities, alternative assessments and recommendation development. The HDR Team will address all transportation modes in the Master Plan including autos, bicycles, pedestrians and transit. This task will be completed with the following subtasks: Task 8.1 — Summary of Goals and Objectives — HDR will summarize the vision, goals, and objectives for the City of San Marcos TMP for the 20 year horizon. This task will be accomplished with the extensive City of San Marcos Transportation Master Plan 8
