Project Understanding The proposed project is located on the southeast corner of the Santa Teresa Boulevard and First Street intersection on a mostly vacant 10.83 -acre site. The project, as proposed, would consist of 217 townhomes. A traffic impact analysis was prepared by RBF Consultants (Dated June 23, 2015) and submitted to the City of Gilroy for Review. There are a number of components missing from that report that are required by the City of Gilroy and the Congestion Management Program (CMP) of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). Specifically, the components that Hexagon has been asked to provide are as follows: • A background study scenario accounting for traffic associated with all currently approved development projects in the city. • A cumulative study scenario accounting for traffic associated with all approved and pending development projects in the city. • An assessment of potential freeway impacts per CMP requirements. • An assessment of potential project impacts on bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities. It is our understanding that the City does not need Hexagon to conduct a peer review of the traffic study. However, our scope of work does include time for Hexagon staff to conduct a brief technical review of the key data and assumptions used in the RBF traffic study. Since the updated analysis conducted by Hexagon will be based on information and assumptions in the RBF study, this step is important to ensure that the data and assumption used in the traffic study do not have any fatal flaws. Scope of Work The updated analysis will evaluate traffic conditions during the weekday AM and PM peak hours for the selected study scenarios. The same 26 study intersections studied in the RBF traffic study will be evaluated for the updated analysis. Our scope and budget assumes that no additional study intersections will need to be evaluated and no new traffic data will be collected. It is not anticipated that a freeway analysis would be necessary for this project. However, per CMP guidelines, the traffic study will include an analysis to document the determination that a freeway level of service analysis is not required. Additional budget would be necessary if a freeway level of service analysis is required. The key transportation facilities will be evaluated for the following study scenarios: 8070 Santa Teresa Boulevard, Suite 230 . Gilroy, California 95020 • phone 408.846.7410 • fax 408.846.7418 • www.hextrans.com Mr. Henry Servin August 21, 2015 Page 2 of 3 • Background Conditions: Existing + approved developments. • Background + Project Conditions: Existing + approved developments + project trips. • Cumulative without Project Conditions: Existing + approved developments + proposed developments. • Cumulative with Project Conditions: Existing + approved developments + project trips + proposed developments. Study Tasks The tasks to be included in the analysis are: 1. Brief Technical Review. The traffic count data upon which the analyses are based will be reviewed to identify any count data that may be outdated or that may not be consistent with current traffic patterns in the study area. The count data used in the analysis will be compared to currently available count data that Hexagon has on file for the study intersections. The trip generation estimates and trip distribution pattern used in the RBF traffic study will be evaluated to be sure they are accurate. Evaluation of Background /Approved Conditions. Traffic volumes from approved developments will be added to the existing peak -hour volumes to obtain traffic volumes for background conditions. A list of approved projects (including size, use, and location) will be obtained from the City of Gilroy Planning Division for this task. Additionally, traffic from vacant buildings in the City will be addressed in the background scenario as directed by the City of Gilroy. A list of current vacant buildings in the city will be obtained from the City of Gilroy Building Division. Improvements associated with approved developments will be assumed as directed by the City of Gilroy. Intersection levels of service under background conditions will be evaluated using the CMP methodology (TRAFFIX). The need for future signalization of the unsignalized study intersections will be evaluated on the basis of the Peak Hour Warrant (Warrant 3 — Part B) in the 2012 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). 3. Evaluation of Background + Project Conditions. Project - generated traffic will be added to background traffic volumes to yield traffic volumes under background + project conditions. Intersection levels of service under project conditions will be evaluated using the CMP methodology. Peak -hour traffic signal warrant checks will be conducted for the unsignalized study intersections under this scenario. 4. Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Transit Facilities. A qualitative analysis of the project's likely effect on transit service in the area and on bicycle and pedestrian circulation in the study area will be included in the traffic analysis. The analysis will discuss the planned bicycle and pedestrian facilities included in the City's Trails Master Plan and Bicycle /Pedestrian Transportation Plan that relate to the project site. Recommendations for accommodating these planned facilities will be included in the report. 5. Freeway Capacity Check. The magnitude of project trips on freeway segments near the site will be determined and compared to the CMP's threshold for determining the need for freeway level of service analysis. The results of this task will be documented in the report. 6. Evaluation of Cumulative Conditions. Traffic volumes from proposed but not yet approved developments will be added to background conditions peak -hour volumes to obtain traffic volumes for cumulative without project conditions. A list of proposed projects (including size, use, and location) will be obtained from the City of Gilroy Planning Division for this task. Cumulative plus project conditions will be determined by adding project trips to cumulative without project conditions. Intersection levels of service under cumulative conditions will be evaluated using the CMP methodology.

The following is added to WHO IS AN INSURED (Section 11); The person or organization shown in the Sched- ule above is an additional insured on this Cover- age Part, but only with respect to liability for "bod- ily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" caused, in whole or in part, by your acts or omis- sions or the acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf a. In the performance of your ongoing opera- tions; b. In connection with premises owned by or rented to you; or c. In connection with "your work" and included within the "products- completed operations hazard ". Such person or organization does not qualify as an additional insured for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" for which that per- son or organization has assumed liability in a con- tract or agreement. The insurance provided to such additional insured is limited as follows: d. This insurance does not apply to the render- ing of or failure to render any "professional services ". e. The limits of insurance afforded to the addi- tional insured shall be the limits which you agreed in that "contract or agreement requir- ing insurance" to provide for that additional insured, or the limits shown in the Declara- tions for this Coverage Part, whichever are less. This endorsement does not increase the limits of insurance stated in the LIMITS OF INSURANCE (Section III) for this Coverage Part. B. The following is added to Paragraph a. of 4. Other Insurance in COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS (Section IV): However, if you specifically agree in a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" that for the addi- tional insured shown in the Schedule, the insur- ance provided to that additional insured under this CG D3 82 09 07 02007 The Travelers Companies, Inc: Page 1 of 2 Includes the copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY Coverage Part must apply on a primary basis, or a primary and non- contributory basis, this insur- ance is primary to other insurance that is avail- able to such additional insured which covers such additional insured as a named insured, and we will not share with the other insurance, provided that (1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for which coverage is sought occurs; and (2) The "personal injury" for which coverage is sought arises out of an offense committed; after you have entered into 'that "contract or agreement requiring insurance" for such addi- tional insured. But this insurance still is excess over valid and collectible other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the additional in- sured when the additional insured is also an addi- tional insured under any other insurance. C. The following is added to Paragraph 8. Transfer Of Rights. Of Recovery Against Others To Us in COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CON- DITIONS (Section N): We waive any rights of recovery we may have against the additional insured shown in the Schedule above because of payments we make for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" arising out of "your work" on or for the pro- ject, or at the location, shown in the Schedule above, performed by you, or on your behalf, un- der a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" with that additional insured. We waive these rights only where you have agreed to do so as part of the "contract or agreement requiring insur- ance" with that additional insured entered into by you before, and in effect when, the "bodily injury" or "property damage" occurs, or the "personal_ in- jury" offense is committed. D. The following definition is added to DEFINITIONS (Section 1): "Contract or agreement requiring insurance" means that part of any contractor agreement un- der which you are required to include the person or organization shown in the Schedule as an ad- ditional insured on this Coverage Part, provided that the "bodily injury" and "property damage" oc- curs, and the "personal injury" is caused by an of- fense committed: a. After you have entered into that contract or agreement; b. While that part of the contract or agreement is in effect; and c. Before the end of the policy period.
