Subject: Additional Services for the Proposed Hamptons Apartment Complex in
___ Cupertino, California
Dear Ms . Kidd :
Exhibit A
Fehr & Peers is pleased to submit this add-on request for the Hamptons Apartment Complex
Project. Specifically, this add-on includes transportation consulting to prepare a parking study for
The Hamptons. The purpose of this stud y is to determine the adequacy of the Hampton 's
proposed parking rate of 1.8 parking spaces per unit. Based on the results of par king analyses at
similar apartment comple xes i n Cupertino, we will determine if the proposed parking rate is
adequate.
Fehr & Peers proposes to conduct parking surveys at two locations: 1) at the existing Hampton
property and 2) at the Biltmore Apartments located at Stevens Creek Boulevard and Blaney
Avenue . The parking surveys will be conducted on one weekday for each property during the late
night (e.g . midnight to 3 A.M), to capture the highest number of parked vehicles during a typical
day. Additionally, we will qualitati vely assess parking at the adjacent apartment comple x, Arioso
Apartments . Results of the study will be documented in a brief memorandum.
We w i ll prepare the study and memorandum for a fi xed fee of $9 ,500 . Our fee in cludes
responding to one set of consolidated comments to prepare the final parking memo. This does
not inc l ude any additional time to attend public hearing s, which is included in our original scope
of work.
It is ou r understanding that the study will need to be completed by May 4, 2016, to meet the
Planning Commission meeting date on Thursda y, May 10. In order to meet this deadline, we will
need a fully executed amendment by Tuesday, April 26 . This agreement will be governed by the
terms of our Agreement dated August 6, 2014 .

Subject:Proposal to Prepare a Focused Transportation Impact Analysis for the
Hamptons Apartment Complex in Cupertino, California
Dear Ms. Ghosh:
Fehr & Peers is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare a transportation impact analysis (TIA)
for the Hamptons Apartment Complex in Cupertino, California. The 12.4-acre apartment complex
is located at the south-east corner of the Wolfe Road/Pruneridge Avenue intersection directly
adjacent to the new Apple Campus 2 that is under construction.The Hamptons currently has 342-
units and is proposing to redevelop the site and increase the number of dwelling units by 600
units to 942 units.
The scope of work is based on information provided by you and VTA's requirements for TIAs and
our knowledge of the study area. We have extensive knowledge of the study area through our
recent work on the Apple Campus 2 project.
The fee for the attached scope of work (Attachment A) is $44,000, and includes all professional
and support staff time, as well as direct expenses.Invoices will be submitted monthly and are due
upon receipt. For an additional fee of $4,000 we can evaluate construction period intersection
operations as outlined in the optional task in Task 8.
We estimate that we can complete the TIA within eight weeks after our receipt of a fully executed
contract, a final site plan, and background data from the City.

SCOPE OF WORK
Transportation Impact Analysis for
the Hamptons Apartment Complex in Cupertino, California
July 10, 2015)
The 12.4-acre apartment complex is located at the south-east corner of the Wolfe
Road/Pruneridge Avenue intersection directly adjacent to the new Apple Campus 2 that is under
construction. The Hamptons currently has 342-units and is proposing to redevelop the site and
increase the number of dwelling units by 600 units to 942 units.
The purpose of this transportation impact analysis (TIA) is to identify potentially significant
adverse impacts of the proposed project on the surrounding transportation system and to
recommend mitigation measures, if needed. The increased housing density at the Hamptons' site
was recently evaluated as part of the City of Cupertino's General Plan Update and associated EIR.
Thus this analysis will tier off of the General Plan EIR and only evaluate Existing and Background
conditions without and with the proposed project.
The impacts will be evaluated following guidelines of the City of Cupertino and the Santa Clara
Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), the congestion management agency for Santa Clara
County.This TIA will follow the most recently adopted VTA analysis guidelines (October,2014).

De Anza Boulevard to SR 85
The study locations will be finalized in Task 1 and as needed we will revise our scope and budget
accordingly.
Analysis Scenarios
The operations of the study intersections will be evaluated during the weekday morning (AM) and
weekday evening (PM) peak hours for the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: Existing Conditions—Existing volumes obtained from counts.
Scenario 2: Existing Plus Project Conditions — Scenario 1 volumes plus traffic generated by
the proposed project.
Scenario 3: Background Conditions—Existing volumes plus traffic from "approved but not yet
built"and "not occupied"developments in the area.
Scenario 4: Background Plus Project Conditions — Scenario 3 volumes plus traffic generated
by the proposed project.
Per VTA guidelines, a transit vehicle delay analysis will be conducted for project conditions and
project impacts on bicycle and pedestrian facilities will also be addressed. Fehr & Peers will
complete the following tasks to evaluate the transportation impacts of the proposed project.
Task I—Prepare Initial Trip Generation Estimations and Finalize Scope of Work
Under this task, we will develop gross trip generation estimates for the project site by applying
appropriate trip generation rates to the number of dwelling units proposed. As part of the Apple
Campus 2 project, we collected driveway counts at the Hamptons' driveways on November 17,
2011 and we will use those counts to develop site-specific trip generation rates. We will compare
those rates to the apartment (ITE Land Use Code 210) rates published in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation, 9th Edition (2012).
Secondly, we will develop adjusted trip generation estimates to account for residents walking to
work at Apple 2 Campus site. We will work with the project team to develop a trip generation
reduction factor that reflects the anticipated level of Apple employees who would live at the
Hamptons.
Finally, we will develop net new trip generation estimates, by subtracting the trip generation
estimates for the Hamptons' current 342-units from the adjusted trip generation estimates. The
direction trips use to approach and depart from the site will be estimated based on existing travel
patterns, previous traffic studies for similar land uses, and the relative location of complementary
land uses. Based on this, the net-added site-generated traffic will be assigned to the roadway
system based on the directions of approach and departure.
The vehicle trip generation, trip distribution, and trip estimates will be submitted to City of
Cupertino staff for review and approval. The study locations and Project trip estimates may be
refined based on City comments.
Task 2—Data Collection
The study area generally extends along Wolfe Road between EI Camino Real and Stevens Creek
Boulevard. Segments along Homestead Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard are also included as
part of the study area. Data requirements for the study area are listed below.
Existing AM and PM peak period intersection counts(including pedestrian, bicycle,and
vehicular turning movement volumes)
Existing and planned roadway geometries and traffic controls
Existing and planned transit service and facility descriptions
Existing and planned pedestrian and bicycle facility descriptions
List of approved and pending development projects to account for local growth in the
area (to be supplied by City of Cupertino,Sunnyvale, and Santa Clara)
This scope assumes that we will use available 2015 intersection turning movement count data and
now new data will be collected as part of this scope. There is a substantial amount of construction
activity along Wolfe Road and Homestead Road due to the Apple Campus 2 project and we will
compare the available 2015 counts results from the Wolfe Road corridor to those from 2011 to
determine the appropriate count source.
We will rely on our observations for the Apple Campus 2 project and aerial imagery to determine
the physical characteristics of the roadways within the study area, including existing roadway
cross-sections, intersection lane configurations, and traffic control devices. Surrounding land uses,
and the locations of pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities will also be verified.
Task 3—Evaluate Existing Conditions
We will use the level of service (LOS) method approved by VTA and the City of Cupertino, based
on the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual, to analyze the study intersections and freeway segments.
Operations of the study intersections will be evaluated for mid-week AM and PM peak hour with
level of service calculations using TRAFFIX analysis software.
Existing freeway segment operations will be obtained from the most recent CMP monitoring
report.
Task 4—Existing Plus Project Conditions
The project trip generation estimates, distribution pattern, and assignments developed in Task 1
will be refined to respond to comments received from City staff. Project trips will be added to the
existing traffic volumes developed in Task 3 to represent Existing plus Project Conditions.
Calculations will be conducted to estimate the LOS of the study intersections during the AM and
PM peak hours with completion of the proposed project.AM and PM peak hour freeway segment
level of service calculations will be evaluated following VTA guidelines. Left turn lane queueing
evaluations will be conducted at up to five(5) left turns for the AM and PM peak hours.
Task 5—Background Conditions
Traffic projections for approved developments will be obtained from City staff or estimated using
ITE trip generation rates to account for local growth in the area. These regional and local
projections will be added to the existing volumes to estimate traffic volumes for Background
Conditions. Planned and funded roadway and intersection improvements associated with the
approved projects will be included in the analysis. AM and PM peak hour intersection level of
service calculations will be conducted to evaluate the operating levels of service of the key
intersections.
Freeway segments and progression analysis are not analyzed under this scenario.
Task 6—Background Plus Project Conditions
The project trip estimates developed in Task 1 will be added to the background traffic volumes
developed in Task 5 to represent Background plus Project Conditions. Calculations will be
conducted to estimate the LOS of the study intersections during the AM and PM peak hours after
completion of the proposed project. Left turn lane queueing evaluations will be conducted at up
to five(5) left turns for the AM and PM peak hours.
Freeway segments are not analyzed under this scenario.
Task 7—Site Access and On-Site Circulation
The number of proposed access points and the required type of traffic control devices will be
determined as part of this task. Potential on-site circulation issues, including required street throat
depths, parking locations and design, number of intersections/conflict points, as well as signing
and markings will be evaluated. The site plan will be reviewed to ensure that adequate and direct
pedestrian and bicycle facilities and connections are provided. Similarly, we will review the site
plan to ensure efficient linkages with existing and potential future transit stops. This task will also
include an evaluation of the project's proposed vehicle and bicycle parking supply and location
based on City and VTA standards.
Task 8—Site Access and On-Site Circulation
Under this task, we will develop trip generation estimates for the busiest or "worst case"
construction period (i.e. the period in which the highest traffic volumes of construction activity
would occur) using the construction schedule information provided by the applicant/City staff. To
develop construction trip generation estimates we will request the following construction traffic
data:
Future truck traffic volumes (daily and peak hour) and number of light duty trucks and
heavy trucks used to haul materials into or out of the construction site.
Number of construction employees to be working at the site daily. We will make a
conservative assumption about the proportion of employees who drive to/from the site in
smaller, private vehicles rather than trucks.
Detailed schedule and duration of construction traffic on both weekdays and weekends, if
applicable.
We will provide a table summarizing the trip generation estimates for the project site using the
assumptions outlined in this task. This task assumes up to 25 hours for the trip generation
analysis.
Optional Task 8.1:
If the construction trip generation estimates show that the construction period will develop more
trips than the proposed project, then as an optional task we can evaluate intersection LOS
operations under Existing plus Construction Traffic Conditions along Wolfe Road between
Homestead Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard using TRAFFIX software for an additional fee of
4,000
Task 9—Identify Significant Impacts and Recommend Mitigation Measures
The results of the level of service calculations for Existing Conditions will be compared to the
results for Existing plus Project Conditions to identify project impacts under CEQA at the key
locations. Similarly, the results of the level of service calculations for Background plus Project
Conditions will be compared to the results for the No Project Conditions to identify project
impacts under CMP/City guidelines at the key locations.
If significant impacts are identified, feasible mitigation measures will be recommended. Feasible
mitigation measures are those that can be constructed within the existing right-of-way or that
require minimal right-of-way acquisition, such as minor intersection lane additions and restriping.
Modifications to intersection operations, including changes to signal phasing and timing will be
considered in our review. We will also estimate the Project's percent contribution to identified
intersection mitigation measures by calculating the Project's trips compared to the total volumes.
This includes identifying the Project's fair share to the potential I-280/Wolfe Road interchange
reconfiguration project.
The effect of the project or required mitigation measures on transit and bicycle and pedestrian
facilities will be evaluated in terms of conflicts with existing or planned facilities or creation of
hazardous conditions for bicyclists or pedestrians. Additionally, secondary impacts to transit
vehicle delay will be evaluated for the proposed mitigation measures.
Task 10—Prepare Documentation
We will document our findings in a report that will include text, graphics, and tables to describe
study analysis methods and results, the potential impacts of the proposed project, and
corresponding mitigation measures. We will submit the Administrative Draft TIA in electronic
format for review. This scope assumes up to 16 staff hours to respond to all comments on the
Administrative Draft TIA report and preparing the Draft TIA.
Fehr & Peers will submit the Draft TIA in electronic format for review by the City, VTA, and other
agencies as applicable.This proposal assumes up to 8 staff hours to respond to comments on the
Draft TIA report. Once the comments have been incorporated, we will produce a Final TIA and
submit an electronic copy to City staff.
This proposal assumes up to.24 staff hours to respond to staff, agency, and public comments on
the TIA or associated environmental document. Comments requiring additional staff time beyond
the number of hours budgeted will be considered additional services and will only be conducted
upon written authorization.
Task 11—Meetings
The scope of work includes attendance at two public hearings. Attendance at additional meetings
or public hearings will be conducted upon receipt of written authorization and billed on a time-
and-materials basis.
Optional Task 10.1—Proiect Meetings
As an optional task we can prepare for and attend project meetings at an estimate cost of$1,200
each.
Additional Services
The scope of work has been tailored to meet the specific requirements of this project. However,
during the course of the study, additional services may be required. Additional services that are
beyond the scope of this study include, but are not limited to, conducting any new counts,
evaluating additional study locations or project descriptions, preparing conceptual designs of
mitigation measures, responding to comments requiring more than the designated hours, and
attending more than two public hearings. Fehr& Peers-will conduct additional services only upon
receipt of written authorization.
