Award the contract to KOA Corporation for the Safe Routes to School Plan, Project T0050, in the amount of $223,670 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $1,330 for a contract amount not to exceed $225,000. 2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND In 2016, the City of Santa Clarita (City) was awarded an Active Transportation Program grant through the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for development of a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan for nine junior high and high schools within the City. The grant provides $160,000 with a local match of $40,000. Subsequent to receiving the grant, the City annexed the West Creek/West Hills area, bringing two more schools (Rio Norte Junior High and West Creek Academy) into the City. As part of the mid -year budget process, an additional $25,000 was added to the budget to expand the project to include these additional schools. The 11 schools are as follows: 1. Canyon High School 2. Golden Valley High School 3. Hart High School Page 1 Packet Pg. 157 4. Saugus High School 5. Valencia High School 6. Arroyo Seco Junior High School 7. La Mesa Junior High School 8. Placerita Junior High School 9. Rio Norte Junior High School 10. Sierra Vista Junior High School 11. West Creek Academy The SRTS Plan for these 11 schools will accomplish the goal of encouraging active transportation by identifying infrastructure improvements and non -infrastructure programs for each school site and adjacent neighborhoods that would promote non -motorized forms of transportation and provide increased walking and biking accessibility and safety. The SRTS Plan will identify infrastructure deficiencies near each school, producing a prioritized list of improvements to be implemented, suitable for the Active Transportation Program and other grant funding opportunities. The SRTS Plan will include design concept plans and associated cost estimates for infrastructure improvements at each school. The SRTS Plan will also provide schools with age-appropriate education and encouragement materials to teach and promote pedestrian and bicycle safety, including educational and encouragement materials for parents. The chosen consultant will assist each school in implementing the education and encouragement programs, as well as provide methods to maintain the programs upon conclusion of this project. The training will also include methods for evaluating the effectiveness of education and encouragement programs on an ongoing basis. On May 8, 2017, a Request for Proposals (REP) was posted on PlanetBids. On June 5, 2017, the City received six proposals, which were evaluated by staff based on the criteria provided in the REP.

TR16/ CONSULTANT SERVICE FOR THE 20172018 SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PNS KOA CORPORATION SECTION 2: PROJECT ANALYSIS THE SATS PLAN FOR SANTA CLARITA For the various communities In the Santa Carina Valley the heavy reliance on motorized transportation has meant minimal past Investments In pedestrian and bicycle facilities. However, the Cry of Santa Glantz has made entersive policy and Infrastructural efforts In providing residents with constantly improving active transportation network. The Cryo recently updated NonMotorized Transportation Plan (2014) and the numerous Safe Routes to School (SRTS) gands won by the Cry to have enabled It to install infrastructure Improvements at Its elementary schools. Given those successes, and as identified In the 2014 NonMotorized Transportation Plan, City staff hes turned Its attentioninclude junior High Schools and High Schools In its SRTS prioritization list The Cry will leverage successful and plans atits elementary schools to develop aSKITS Plan for all five junior High Schools, five High Schools, and one K-6 school within the Williams S. Hart High School District and the Saugus Union School Dlstn a. The SRTS Plan will encourage active transportation for its junior and High School population by Identifying Infrastructure Improvements at each school site and the surrounding neighborhoods and developing non infrastructure programming materials for students and parents This will be done by promoting non motorized forms of transportation and providing Improved walking and bicycling facilities while Improving safety The Plan will largely be developed via a comprehensive outreach strategy that will incorporate close coordination with staff at two school districts, schools, City staff sheriff department officers, community-based organizations, public health advocates and professionals, local business leaders, neighborhood organizations, and most Importantly, student representatives. The participation of all of these entities will ensure various thing'. I. A complete assessment of all infrastructure deficiencies and barriers to safely walking and bicycling to and from schools 2. Understand past existing and any planned programs to encourage walking and biking to school and citywides 3. Through surveys, student travel tallies, and other data collection methods, understand the current travel habits of students and parents 4. Provide the SRTS Plan with local champions that will ass In garnering support for the Plan and build momentum to have wide participations 5. Publicize the Plan outreach efforts to their various community networks 6. Provide the KOA SRTS team aforum to test Infrastructure recommendations at the school sites and surrounding sand J.

Through coordination with SRTSssakeholders, the KOASRTS team (KOACorpoation and Safe Moves) will develop strategasand materials for Implementing age appropriate eduationand encouragement progamsto promote pedestrianand bicycle safety amongst students and parents. The Plan will also Introduce a periodic evaluation strategy for measuring the Plans effectiveness, mode share, collision statistics and changes Insudend and parent behavior and aastudes toward walkingand bicycling to school. ThePlan will be completed and carried out In the following way. 9 CITY OFSAND (NRITA, (A KOA CORPORATION SECTION 2: PROJECT ANALYSIS I. Project Administration and Management CCA Corp station as the SRTS team lead, will handle all aspects of project management Including tacking budget, deadlines, outreach to stakeholders, data needs, communication of any Project sues with City staff and organize monthly meetings with key Project committee members. 2. Safe Routes to School Committees Based on the stakeholders entities Iderrcifed above, the KOASRTS team, school dlsvictsaf, and City staff will put togethera steering committee for each school that will meet periodically through the duration of the project The steering committee will be the KOASRTS team's primary entry point Into the school and will assist In coordinating and publicizing outreach events. They will also provide the consultant team with knowledge of Issues and concerns when It comes to SRTS issues around schools. 3. Emitting Program and Document Review The KOASRTS team will canvas all pas, entsting,and proposed plans, polices, and programs at the City and schools in order to undersand the content In which the SRTS Plan will be developed. This will help the KOASRTS team avoid any pitfalls that have plagued other outreach efforts while ensuring to not recommend programs or Improvements that have either failed stare already proposed at the schools sites. 4. Pedestrian and Bicycle Audits As part of the comprehensive outreach strategy, the CCA SRTS team will conduct pedestrian and bicycle audits to assess sing Infrastructure conditions, barriers, and opportunities. The audits will be conducted with participation from Cry and school stakeholders. Since the schools are junicrand High Schools, the outreach and participation will happen primarily with the students. As part of this task, travel Colles, surveys, and other data acquisition tools will be used. 5. Outreach and Community Workshops naddltionto the pedestrian and bicycle audits the CCA SRTS team, In association with the school steering committee will put together outreach and community workshop events during the project. These will be used to solicit re feedback from students and school stakeholders. These event will target already ongoing school outreach events such as festivals, back to school night etc In order to manamlze participation. 6. Safe Routes to School Plans Incorporating all of data acquired from the City and school districts, Inputfrom SRTS stakeholders through meeting, outreach events and workshops, and pedestrian and bicycle audit, the CCA SRTSteam will develop plans for each school site The Plans will note all Issues and opportunities around the school, butalso provide engineering recommendations.

As shown In Figures I and 2 (below), a large number of pedestrian and bicycle collisions between 2006 and 2016 are clustered around the majority of the eleven (11) SRTS Plan school. Our approach will be one that Includes recommendations that will promote safe walking and biking through the six E's: Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Engineering, Evaluation, and Equity. Providing and promoting better routes for walking and bicycling will not only help Improve safety but all I also Improve the overall health of school aged children by providing them with walking and biking options to school. Reducing vehicle traffic delays and congestion during pick-up and dropoffhours is another benefit of promoting walking and bicycling to school. Challenges and Opportunities In preparation for this proposal, COPY, conducted an Initial evaluation at various of the SRTS Plan schools and below isa short list of some of the obstacles that maybe reducing the number of students walking and bicycling to school • Missing sidewalk and ADA curb ramps—Iackofproperinfrastructure throughout the City creates a major obstacle for students walking to school. Intersections with adequate traffic controls CIA signalized Intersection , sn op sig, mid- block crosswalks etc) are far apart, thus creating dlRtulty for students walking to safely cross streets. • Lack ofbicycle infrastructure , such as bicycle lanes routes and sgnage nearschools create critical connectivity gaps for stud ens bicycling to school. • High speed arterial roadways crate high level ofstress (LTS) which are not suitable for most students bicycling to school. • Residents and parents rely heavily on automobiles to drop-off/pick-up students from school. 12 CITY OFSAND AL Iy (A KOAaCORPORATION NIGNEERING PLANNING SECTION 3: OBJECTIVE, SCOPE, NATURE OF THE PROPOSED PROGRAM During our preliminary parent Intercept survey, one Spanish only speaking mother mentioned that she Is too afraid for her daughter's safety to allow them to walk to and from school, referencing the recent collision between a leftturning vehicle and a student bicycling home. Athough she lives within ten minutesfrom William S. Hart High School, an emphasis on Education and perhaps' Enforcement' near the school will provide her with the peaceofthat her daughter an walk to school safely Ater our Initial field review, the KOA SRTS team Identified the following opportunities. Improve Level of Taffc Stress As shown In Figure 3 (below), level of traffic stress hes been widely used to evaluate bicycle facility For sample, a Class 11 bicycle facility near a school on a high speed arterial has high level of stress however facility that offers more separation from traffic has lower level of stress KOA recommends the use of buffered bicycle lanes ,cycle tracks (Class IV bike lanes), or bicycle boulevards and will use level of traffic stress as the main factor to conduct our bicycle infrastructureneedevaluation tool to provide recommendations.

The Cry an be confident that the project will be managed by professional staff with a proven tack record of delivering effective school-based planning throughout the region, public and bilingual facilitation as well as Innovative GISbasedanalytical services to support SETS plans. Based on the team's Initial field Investigation, our overall approach Is one that will provide the Cry with Innovative, yet realistic engineering solutions to Improve street safety for students walking and bicycling to school. This will be accomplished through a comprehensive, and most Importantly, an equiab le manner that will ensure residents from all segments, income, and culture that take their children to junior High Schools and High Schools can fully participate in this process. The process will help the KOASETS team develop age appropriate and cultually sensive education and encouragement materialsand programs tailored to the student population In Sana Clarice schools. Finally, In order to ensure the Plan's longevity and ownership among the school community, the CORSETS team will build In evaluation strategies and techniques to maintain the Plans effectiveness. We feel the objectives laid out above will be supported by the CORSETS team's biggest strength and key differentiator for this project These are explained further below'. Comprehensive Outreach Approach The CORSETS team's approach to this project will be one that firstand foremost ensures robust community engagement process that is equitable to all members of the City's school community Based on the most recent ace and ethnic data (American Community Survey, US Caucus Bureau, 2015), the City's 179,950 residents break down as follows'. White (51 percent), Latino (32 percent), Asan (10 percent), two -or -more aces (four percent), and Black (3 percent) Furthermore, of the City's population that is over five years of age as of 2015 (169 279) approximately 30 percent does not speak English, with 21 percent speaking only Spanish. Since just under half of the population is non -White and about 30 percent does not speak English at home, traditional outreach approaches will not fully capture input from all segments of the Cryo residents Providing bilingual materials, ensuring that CORSETS team members are fully bilingual In the Cryo major non-English languages Is Imperative In gaining the Input needed to make this Plan fully Inclusive. Bilingual flyers will be developed to give an overview of the project and Its purpose, correct Information, and public/community meeting details and posted at locations frequented by the public. The CORSETS team has worked In diverse and low-income, traditionally low-participart suburban communities In the cities of San Bernardino County (Musmy, Colton , San Bernardino) as well as the dense, Immigrant communities of central LosAngeles (Figure 7). In each community, the KOAteam has achieved high levels of participation due to our comprehensive outreach strategy In reaching parents and student In ways that facilitate their collaboration. We will also use a web and -mobile -based mapping application to Increase SETS outreach to stakeholders and the public. Through each school, we will use a"backpack expressmethod to reach parents and students and seek their participation for pedestrian and bicycle audits Our Name of services and deliverables will Include facilitation of 16 CITY OFSAND Pi (A KOAnCORPORATION NIGNEERING PLANNING SECTION 3: OBJECTIVE, SCOPE, NATURE OF THE PROPOSED PROGRAM community meetings and school specific pedestrian and bicycle audits , project development ranking, cost estimating, and providing top-notch (grant ready) finished materials and Implementation strategies to ensure the success of the Plan.

Generating subcontracts, establishing Invoicing procedures, and specifying the schedule among team members will be the high priority t the project start leading into the project kick-off meeting. At project Initiation, a kick-off meeting will be scheduled to introduce members of the KOAteam to Santa Glantz staff and outline the work plan and schedule for implementing the project. Prior able Project kick ffe ing 1.2 Project Management and Coordination The success of the Santa Clarita SETS Plan will require an experienced team led by seasoned transportation professionals who have successfully managed SETS assignments using proven project management methods and eraght tools. Effective and proven management control tools will be essential to the success of the project especially given the level of interprojectcoordination and public outreach required In each project phase. Under the KOAteamh project management plan, we have a project manager who will coordinate closely with the key stakeholders Including City staff, and the school districts. The number one goal of our management approach Is to anticipate issues early and Identify methods to complete each work element within the agreed upon schedule and budget. KOA has assembled an experienced and knowledgeable projectteam to deliver this project. Carlos Velasquez, our proposed Project Manager, will lead the project. Mr. Velasquez brings over 10 years of transportation planning experience to the project As the Project Manager, he will be responsible for exercising cost control, manpower scheduling and resource allocation, and estimates of cost -to -complete on period -by -period basis. He will also ensure that we document and provide the results, Including the preparation of draft and final reports.

Together, KOAand Safe M over have led hundreds of pedestrian and bicycle audits To Innate this effort, Safe Moves will secure the full cooperation from each of the principals. Safe Moves will coordinate the promotion and outreach to eleven (I I) Target schools to participate In walk and bicycle audits. KOAand Safe M over will start by meeting with the District Superintendents In order to explain the whet how and why of the walk/bike audits In order to obtain the districts support and then proceed to meet with all the principals In order to begin scheduling the events and begin the coordination between each school. The pedestrian and bicycle audits will concis of a workshop and walk audits at each school. These will be performed at me that is most likely to generate the most student and parental participation. KOA has found In Its pas and current SRTS projects that the best times for parents are typically after the morning school drop off or before the afternoon school pick up times, rather than the peak walking times before and after school. From our experience, junior High Schools and High Schools tend to have less participation on the part of the parents thus the audit focus may be more student focused. This means that outreach will be conducted directly with school clubs and societies, math science, engineering, or geography teachers and classes In order to gain participation from students already learning or Interested In topics relating to safety and the built environment, If the focus Is more with students, the pedestrian and bicycle audits may happen during school hours. The audits will consist of I. Walkability and Bikeability Checklists. Safe Moves proposes to begin the onschool -site Pedestrian and Bike audit at each school with a brief introduction to attendees to explain the purpose, what we will do, and discuss the route or routes. After the brief introduction participants will take a walk and bike with the key stakeholders Including parents, students, school principals/vice principals, crossing guards, school facilities personnel, police, city staff and other Interested parties around the vicinity of each school to discuss and document the safety (sues and other barriers to walking and bicycling to that school. Participants will be provided with a clipboard to hold a map showing the school grounds with its pedestrian nce(s),surrounding streets and school attendance boundary map and a marker pen for jotting notes during both the workshop and the walk audit Consultant staff will be split among the participants based on preferred language and areas of expertise. If certain participants are known to have specific concerns, a KOAssaff member with the most experience with the subject will be assigned to that participants walk audit group (See Figure 9, on page 23). The following sues will be discussed. • Msing or poorly maintained sidewalks • Missing curb ramps 23 CITY OFSAND (NRBIy (A KOA CORPORATION SECTION 4: WORK PROGRAM •s that are difficult to cross • Common unsafe behaviors of motorists pedestrians and bicyclists Speeding • Double Parking • Lack ofsigns • Lack of bikeways Stay dogs Crim Hot Sports Onsite pedestrian and bicycle audits and workshops will be led by staff of COPS, Corporation including Spanish - speakers , and by Safe Moves.

One of the challenges In developing an effective SRTS plan is to fully engage the community In the program KOA will design multilingual flyers (Figure 10, Page 24), school banners, announcements and broad casts that can be disseminated through City and School District websites, direct mailing, and social mediaand create log of events. Consistent banding and messaging will be developed for use In various project awareness media (flyers, banners, webpage, etc). KOA will prepare collateral materials that can be distributed at outreach events and that can direct community members to provide public Input Materials will be translated for multilingual audiences, as needed. We will coordinate with school district personnel and the Cry to seek opportunities to make In-person announcements at highly attended school district events, or established community festivals, within the Cry to build awareness and participation In three community workshops. As an added benefit we will also make our eAudlt phone app (Figure I I, Page 25)available to participants whom cannot tend the meetings or audits. The purpose of the mobile app Is for the residents to Identity hazardous locations physical constraints difficult street crossings, and other unsafe features. Participants will be able to send pictures and comments directly to a GIS -based website where their comments and observations will be geocoded as part of the public comment record.

KOA and Safe Moves will facilitate community workshops at each school to obtain Input from the general public. For convenience of community members and to encourage the widest participation possible, we suggested that meetings be held In conjunction with existing meetings and forums, e.g., neighborhood associations, community groups, faithbasedgroups, and other community opportunities such as farmers markets, community festivals, and other locations where a broad spectrum of residents will already be attending. We will present an overview of preliminary Issues, opportunities, constraints, and alternatives and solicit comments from the public to Identify key areas of focus for priority projects. The public workshops will be a method of listening to the needs and opportunities expressed by city residents, business owners, and other key stakeholders so that the plan reflects their experience. These workshops will Include Identifying the effectiveness of bicycle and pedestrian programs and what components Improve the safety (real or perceived) for pedestrians and bicyclist with the goal of collaboratively developing a plan that will have the community's support for Implementation. Workshops will be conducted In English and Spanish (or other) as needed. These workshops will be based on the curriculum developed by the National Center for Safe Routes to School. The workshops will be approximately 2d hours each and will cover. • Why SETS matters Safety, health and transportation • Engineering strategies • Perspectives from local stakeholders • Encouragement and education strategies • Enforcement strategies • Identification of problems and solutions 27 CITY OFSAND WRITS, (A KOAnCORPORATION NIGNEERING PLANNING SECTION 4: WORK PROGRAM Success • Item tepor Atthe end of the meetings the attendees will have agood understanding of SRTS, an acceptance that the SRTS plan can work In their neighborhood and hopefully the start of a commitment In working with their community leaders so that PC features are Implemented at nearby schools and In their neighborhood As part of each session, short videos will be prepared that can be shared via the web with other members of the community to help share the Ideas and enthusiasm.

These planning level designs an be used In grant applications to apply for grants to design and construct the projects. We will develop a comprehensive list of recommendations that may Include network improvements, spot treatments, and programmatic strategies. We will also Identify educational and encouragement countermeasures that will promote walking and bicycling to school. Events such as Walk to School Day, contests such as Frequent Walker and biker challenges, or on-going programs such as organized walking school buses, bike trains, bike rodeos, can educate, and promote walking and bicycling as a popular way to get to school. Working hand-in-hand with the Sheriff's Department the KOA SKITS team will develop enforcement recommendations for motorists , pedestrians, and bicyclic utilizing their entstng safety education program. We will work to Identity a champion within the police department who will both help Identify the key enforce ment tasks and help with community outreach by expressing to students, parents, and school administrators why safety is important to everyone and why enforcement is vial part of creating safe streets for all users. Task 6.2 Ben eft Cost Analysis KOA has experience using different tools to conduct benefit and cost analyses. The analyses will be conducted for each proposed project. The process will take Into account pedestrian and bicycle fatalities, Injuries, risk groups (children, elderly and people with disabilities), existing site conditions, education and enforcement programs, and cost of the solution The benefit should be normalized by the Increased number of students biking and walking to school and by accident reduction measures. Task6.3 Priontae Projects After the selection of countermeasures, KOAwill develop prioritization criteria In orderto rank the projects and will work with the SKITS school committees to Identify factors to be Included.

Once set of times/dates are agreed upon, KOA SRTS staff will put together a directory of key stakeholders for each school site. These will Include City staff school staff district staff student leaders, parent leaders, community based organizations and business leaders In the area. This will be used as bask for publicizing the audit eve ms. 3. The KOA SRTS team will also produce bilingual flyers for each school site with date/times and a brief explanation regarding the project Distribution of these flyers will happen digitally and be provided to the school so that It is placed In prominent notice areas. The flyers will also be posted In places of Interest such as libraries, Gry Hall, nearby parka, etc KOASRTS team staff will also coordinate with school staff to decide on what dissemination method works best for publicizing to students/parents.
