We understand that the proposed project will be a one-story 19,878-s.f.cafeteria serving approximately 2,900-3,000 Apple employees. The employees are located in approximately 20 office buildings along the half-mile stretch of Bandley Drive between Valley Green Drive to the north and Alves Drive to the south. A local Apple shuttle system serves most of the buildings along this corridor, which we assume will also serve the proposed cafeteria. The proposed project includes a below-grade parking garage to accommodate 66 vehicles. The purposes of this focused transportation analysis are to: 1) prepare a trip generation analysis, 2) determine whether the proposed on-site parking supply is sufficient to meet the demand generated by the cafeteria should it become a non-Apple establishment, 3) evaluate site access for pedestrians and bicycles, 4) assess on-site circulation, and 5) provide an alternatives analysis. Based upon our discussions with you, this letter includes our proposed scope of work, fee, and schedule to complete the analysis. SCOPE OF WORK Fehr& Peers will complete the following tasks: Task 1—Prepare Trip Generation Estimates. Fehr& Peers will prepare a trip generation analysis for the proposed cafeteria. As proposed, the cafeteria will serve Apple employees exclusively, most of whom are expected to walk, bike, or take the shuttle to the cafeteria from the surrounding Apple offices to the north. Since the trip generation characteristics of the Apple cafeteria will be based on non-auto trips, we will not use standard trip generation rates from Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), which primarily assume vehicle access. Instead, we propose to develop trip generation estimates based on the anticipated trip characteristics of the Apple cafeteria. 160 West Santa Clara Street,Suite 675,San Jose CA 95113 (408)278-1700 Fax(408)278-1717 www.fehrandr eers.com Simon Vuong FEHRA'PEERS January 13,2012 Page 2 of 3 As part of this task we will also assess Apple's shuttle and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs to determine if the frequency of the shuttle service will be adequate to meet the anticipated demand and to qualitatively evaluate how employees would access the cafeteria on days with inclement weather, when walking and biking is not as feasible (i.e., locations of the nearest parking lots,their relative occupancy, etc.). Task 2 — Parking Demand/Supply Assessment. Apple employees are primarily expected to use alternative modes to access the cafeteria;therefore the site will likely have a low parking demand. In the future, however, the site could be sold or leased to users other than Apple. As such, the parking analysis will focus on whether the proposed parking supply is sufficient to accommodate standard cafeteria/restaurant uses and other potential future uses. The parking demand for the proposed project will be based on project information and standard transportation planning practices. We will compare the proposed parking supply to the City of Cupertino's parking requirements outlined in their Municipal Code (Chapter 19.100). Additionally, parking supply and demand rates from the (ITE) and the Urban Land Institute(ULI)will be compiled and compared to determine a range of rates for a variety of potential future uses. Task 3 — Site Access. Since the proposed project will attract a large number of pedestrians, bicyclists, and shuttle users, we will evaluate the Bandley Drive corridor for multi-modal users.We will focus the analysis in the section between Valley Green Drive and Alves Drive, including the four unsignalized intersections and three mid-block crosswalks. We will make recommendations to improve multi-modal access. This scope of work does not include the preparation of conceptual drawings of identified multi-modal improvements. Conceptual plans can be prepared as an additional service. Task 4—On-Site Circulation. Potential on-site circulation issues, including required street throat depths, access and circulation in the underground parking garage, parking space layout and design, number of conflict points, as well as signing and pavement markings will be evaluated. The site plan will be reviewed to ensure that adequate and direct pedestrian and bicycle facilities and connections are provided. Task 5—Alternatives Analysis.As part to the alternatives analysis,we will evaluate the project as a standard cafeteria that does not have the unique trip generation and travel characteristics anticipated with Apple's use of the cafeteria. We will develop vehicle trip generation estimates using ITE rates for similar uses and qualitatively assess which intersections the cafeteria potentially could impact.To do this we will estimate the directions of approach and departure of project trips based on the locations of complementary land uses, existing travel patterns in the area, and the locations of project site driveways and then assign the trips to the surrounding roadway network. We will also evaluate the cafeteria's potential parking impacts. Task 5 — Documentation. The results of the trip generation analysis, parking demand/supply assessment, and site access evaluation will be presented in a memorandum format using text, tables, and graphics. This proposal includes up to four (4) hours to respond to comments on the draft analysis and to finalize the memorandum. Simon Vuong FEH R k PEERS January 13,2012 Page 3 of 3 Data Requirements.A preliminary list of data requirements for the study are listed below: • Shuttle schedule and route • Existing shuttle ridership • Shuttle capacity • Final site plan including indoor and outdoor seating capacity and parking garage layout • Capacity and hourly utilization of existing Apple cafeteria by day of the week FEE AND SCHEDULE The fee to conduct the analysis and documentation as described above is $21,000, which will be billed on a time-and-materials basis. This includes all professional and support staff time, as well as direct expenses. Additional services will only be conducted with written authorization. We estimate that we can complete the analysis and provide a draft memorandum for your review within three weeks upon receipt of a fully executed contract. If this scope, fee, and schedule are acceptable then please provide us with a contract. This proposal is valid for a period of 30 days. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and to work with you. Should you have any questions, please call Franziska Church at (408) 278- 1700.We look forward to working with you on this project.
