ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANThis document provides a task overview in support of preparing an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) for the City of Clearwater, pivoting from the Forward Pinellas Active Transportation Plan and the recently adopted City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan. The result of this process would be a standalone Active Transportation Plan. The plan will identify where existing active transportation facilities are within the City and identify new facilities that can be implemented as a part of roadway improvement projects, development projects, or as standalone projects. Projects would be prioritized through a data driven process including factors such as safety, accessibility, and connectivity. For top prioritized projects, a concept plan would be developed to determine feasibility, develop preliminary costs estimates and support potential grant applications which could provide additional funding for full design and construction. Key staff and a preliminary schedule are also provided. Scope of Work Task 1 — Project Management Fehr & Peers will provide overall project management, which includes: • Bi -weekly project check -ins with the City of Clearwater Project Manager • Preparation of monthly progress reports and invoices The bi-weekly check -in -meetings are expected to be virtual. In addition to overall project management, Fehr & Peers will work with the City of Clearwater to develop a project logo, color palette and document templates (such as memos, graphics, and PowerPoint), pivoting from the logo and style of the 2045 Comprehensive Plan to brand these efforts as part of a cohesive planning process. These templates and color palettes will be used for all deliverables. Task Deliverables: • Kick-off Meeting • Bi -weekly project check-in • Month progress reports and invoicing • Development of Project Logo and Templates Task 2 — Public Engagement Public engagement for this project will consist of online engagement, stakeholder engagement, community workshops, meetings with the Technical Committee, and presentations to City Council. The City will host a project information page that links to various surveys and other materials to be provided by Fehr & Peers. At the project outset, Fehr & Peers will prepare a community engagement plan, pivoting from other successful efforts within the community. We expect that public engagement will generally consist of the following activities. Technical Committee: Feedback from staff in other City departments will be critical for project implementation. City staff will organize representatives from internal departments and include in Page 1 of 9 the process as needed for their expertise, except for law enforcement and the Fire Department/Emergency Management Technicians (EMTs), who are part of the stakeholder group. We will meet with the technical committee every other month, providing key project updates and receiving key feedback that will be incorporated into the process. These meetings will be relatively informal, relying on materials prepared for other meetings. Fehr & Peers will prepare agendas for each of these meetings such that the key departments who can contribute most to the conversation will be encouraged to attend. Meeting notes will also be prepared with a list of action items. Online: Fehr & Peers will develop and host a webmap that will crowdsource (using Social Pinpoint software) location -based feedback from the public about where they experience walking and bicycling challenges and would like to see new and improved facilities. As a part of the location - based feedback, we can also ask general questions related to walking and biking to gauge general sentiments. We will solicit feedback at the beginning of the project to understand where people like to walk and bike in the community, where they would like to see improved facilities, and to confirm the extent of the existing network. Towards the end of the project, we will share the draft network and priority projects with the community to allow an opportunity for public feedback to inform the final plan. We will develop social media posts that can be shared by the City of Clearwater, Forward Pinellas and others through social media channels for the two rounds of engagement. We will provide context and images for the City's website, with links to surveys and other project materials that might be hosted by Fehr & Peers. We have assumed that the text/images would be updated up to 3 times during the project. Focused Stakeholder Engagement: Feedback from key stakeholders throughout plan development can help shape the direction of the plan, and result in a list of projects with support from staff, the community, and elected officials. Potential stakeholders will be identified in consultation with City staff as the public engagement plan is prepared but could include members of existing City committees, disability advocates, bicycling and pedestrian advocates, school district representatives, law enforcement, the Fire Department/EMTs, and others who have unique insight that would be valuable to plan preparation and project identification. Representatives from the State and Pinellas County will also be invited as most of the city's major corridors are managed by one of those entities. We envision two focused meetings with this group in addition to their participation in project workshops (see next element). We have assumed these meetings are in-person. We can discuss if having a virtual component is needed to ensure participation from a diverse set of stakeholders. In advance of the meeting, Fehr & Peers will prepare an outline of meeting topics and goals for review by City staff. Based on this feedback, we will prepare meeting materials, which will likely include a PowerPoint presentation and potentially maps. Meeting 1: Project overview and goals, project schedule, project engagement plan, results of preliminary existing conditions analysis, discussion of corridors and intersections to be considered as part of an active transportation network or for priority review, and information to aid in the preparations for the first community workshop. Page 2of9 Meeting 2: Review of the first community workshop and public feedback, preliminary project prioritization criteria, initial priority project list and draft active transportation network, and discussion to aid in the preparations for the second community workshop. Summaries of each meeting will be prepared. For each meeting, Fehr & Peers will prepare an overall meeting agenda for review by City staff and presentation materials to support the agenda. Fehr & Peers staff will facilitate the meeting with support from City staff. Community Workshops: Fehr & Peers will develop materials and facilitate 2 community workshops. The first would be focused on obtaining feedback on the existing conditions, confirming the extent of the existing active transportation network, and obtaining feedback on where people would like to see improved walking and bicycling facilities. The second workshop will include a presentation of the draft ATP network for feedback and comment for incorporation into the draft plan, as well as feedback on the prioritization criteria. City Council Meetings: Fehr & Peers will update the Council during the project, including: Council Mid -point Workshop — Fehr & Peers will provide an overview of the existing conditions analysis, feedback from the stakeholders and community, preliminary prioritization criteria, and the types of projects that have been identified as part of the preliminary prioritization list. The draft plan and preliminary prioritization list will be updated based on feedback received at the council workshop and subsequent council meetings and presented at the project approval meeting. Council Project Approval — Fehr & Peers will provide an overview of the entirety of the planning process during the Council Work Session to advance the project for approval at the Regular Session, outlining each step of the process, the outcomes, feedback received during the planning process, and how that feedback was incorporated into the plan. Fehr & Peers will also be available to answer questions at the Regular Session for approval. Task Deliverables: • Public Engagement Plan • Web hosting for project feedback site • Content and images for City's website (assumes up to 3 updates through the course of the project) • Social media images to promote project through City and regional social media networks (2 sets of images) • Development and printing of 2 sets of presentation boards (approximately 6 boards for each workshop) • Preparation for and facilitation of 7 virtual technical committee meetings • Preparation for and facilitation of 2 in-person project community workshops • Preparation for and facilitation of 2 in-person stakeholder meetings • Preparation for and presentation at 3 Council meetings, including 1 Council workshop and the work session and regular meeting required for approval Page 3 of 9 Task 3 — Review and Compile Available Data Sources Fehr & Peers will compile available data layers in a Geographic Information System (GIS) format from Pinellas County, Forward Pinellas, City of Clearwater, PSTA, and FDOT including: • Existing and planned sidewalks, including separation type and distance from road • Existing and planned bicycle facilities • Existing and planned trail facilities • Existing and planned roadway network features, such as traffic volumes, number of lanes, speed limit, prevailing speeds, traffic control devices, functional classification and context classification • Land use information, including key destinations like parks, schools, and major retail centers • Transportation underserved communities • Population information, including population and job density • Transit routes, stops, schedules and boardings/alightings by stop (if available) • Crash data from last 5 years • Planned roadway improvements and planned major developments Fehr & Peers will review available information that will be compiled into a web map for review by City of Clearwater staff for reasonableness. We will conduct a focused field review of select elements critical to plan preparation, such as confirmation of presence of sidewalk or bike facilities, width of road elements, like sidewalks, bike lanes, and landscape buffers. Based on feedback from City of Clearwater and our field review, we will make reasonable edits to the base GIS layers. Task Deliverables: • Webmap of data noted above • GIS layers of above data Task 4 — Existing Conditions Assessment Based on the data compiled in Task 3, Fehr & Peers will conduct a Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) analysis for both walking and bicycling pivoting from the methodology outlined in the 2023 FDOT Multimodal Quality/Level of Service Handbook and used to assess LTS for the Forward Pinellas Active Transportation Plan. Prior to conducting the analyses, we will review with City Staff options for adjusting thresholds and criteria for the LTS to better reflect Clearwater. For example, some agencies have opted to add a Pedestrian Level of Traffic Stress (PLTS) 5 rating to denote roads without sidewalks to differentiate between PLTS 4 where there may be a sidewalk. The analysis will be conducted for the existing and currently planned system to identify where roadways may be uncomfortable for people walking and bicycling. Data inputs to this analysis include existing and planned facilities, road network features, such as speed (either posted or based on prevailing speed data), number of travel lanes and traffic volumes, and land use context. We will also prepare guidance/flowchart for the inputs to the LTS analysis such that the results can be replicated by others. Building on the accessibility analysis prepared for the Forward Pinellas ATP and refined land use information to be compiled as a part of Task 3, we will update the accessibility analysis and correlate with the LTS results to identify roads that provide access to numerous destinations but are not comfortable. Page 4 of 9 This information can be used to identify locations for new or improved walking and bicycling facilities, as well as in the project prioritization process. Based on the last 5 years of crash data, bicyclist and pedestrian involved crashes will be evaluated and mapped to identify crash hot spots where potential projects, such as a crossing treatment or speed management project could be implemented. Transit stop locations will also be mapped. Based on the City of Clearwater CIP, the Forward Pinellas TIP, and LTRP, and the FDOT Work Program, planned projects on roadways through the city will be mapped to identify potential opportunities to enhance an already planned project to improve walking and bicycling facilities. Task Deliverables: • LTS Methodology • Accessibility Analysis • Maps of existing and planned walking and bicycling facilities, including sidewalk gaps • Crash Analysis • Existing conditions technical memorandum (assumes draft and final memorandum) o The existing conditions draft technical memorandum, in consultation with staff, will be submitted for staff review during the first public engagement period. This will provide about 4 -weeks for staff and the technical review committee to review and provide comments on the document that will be incorporated into a final technical memorandum along with a summary of feedback received during the engagement period. We have assumed that there may be some additional editorial comments on the final document from the core project team to confirm that the feedback was appropriately incorporated. Task 5 — Project Identification The technical analysis and feedback from the public (Public Engagement is described in Task 2) will be used to identify potential active transportation projects throughout the City of Clearwater. Potential projects could include: • Bicycle Boulevards • Bike Lanes • Cycle Tracks • Shared Use Paths • Trails • Sidewalks / Buffered Sidewalk • Crossing improvements and protected intersections • Access to transit improvements • Alternative intersection designs • Safety improvements • Refinements to already planned projects (e.g. widen a bike lane and narrow a travel lane during a Resurfacing, Restoration, and Rehabilitation (RRR) process) A map of proposed project locations will be prepared along with a high-level description of the project components. We expect that the project list will undergo review from the City Council and other City Page5of9 committees, as well as the public (see Task 2 for additional details), to develop a final project list. For the preliminary and final project list, we will calculate the change in LTS, accessibility, safety benefit and other measurable criteria that might be a part of the prioritization process in Task 6. These calculations will help refine the list of projects and help inform the public and decision makers about the potential benefits of planned projects. Task Deliverables: • Preliminary list of Active Transportation Projects, including project extents, and a detailed description of the project, such as narrow travel lanes to provide buffered bike lanes, add a marked crosswalk and RRFB at a specific intersection, and evaluate potential to install counter measures to improve active transportation travel. • Final List of Active Transportation Projects • Assessment of project benefits (change in LTS, change in accessibility, and assessment of safety benefit) Task 6 — Project Prioritization A set of data -driven prioritization criteria will be developed in consultation with City Staff and other interested stakeholders, pivoting from criteria used for other planning efforts. The final project list will be prioritized based on the criteria and could include separate lists for intersection treatments and corridor projects. Prioritization criteria could include ease of implementation, gains in accessing key destinations, improvements in LTS, number of people who would benefit from the improvement, including level of need in transportation underserved communities, safety history of the corridor or intersection, and stakeholder and public feedback. The prioritization process for project implementation would differ from the process to identify locations for concept plan development. Task Deliverables: • Draft Prioritization Criteria • Final Prioritization Criteria • List of Prioritized projects (can be separate lists for corridor projects vs intersection spot treatments) Task 7 — Concept Development Concepts will be developed for 10 projects to be identified in Task 5, including a mixture of corridor, gap closure, and intersection treatments. Our level of effort is based on a mixture of longer segments (approximately 1 -mile) that can serve as prototypes for similar facilities, specific gap closure projects, and intersection/crossing treatments (such as a mid -block crossing with a raised crosswalk and RRFB or PHB, or a protected intersection concept). Concepts will be prepared on high-quality aerial imagery using property line information from the property accessors office. No survey will be conducted as a part of this task. Planning level costs and timetable estimates will be developed in consultation with the city's Public Works staff based on the concept components, not including right-of-way acquisition, structures or drainage/utility relocations. These estimates will be based on present day standards and may not reflect future variations in cost or Page 6 of 9 project time at implementation. The purpose of the concepts is to provide the city with general design guidance for the recommended facility and to identify major conflicts that might affect the cost and feasibility of a project. The concepts can also be used in support of grant applications to support more detailed design and construction efforts that would be conducted under separate contract. Based on feedback received on the draft concept plans, we will update plans, which will be incorporated into the draft ATP. The schedule includes approximately one month for City staff and the technical committee to review the draft plan and provide comments. The locations for concept plan development will be identified based on the overall prioritization criteria as well as feedback from staff and the Technical Committee to ensure concepts are developed for a broad range of project types, as well as projects that have the highest potential for 1) implementation and 2) serving as a prototype for other projects within the City. Task Deliverables: • Identification of corridors/intersections for concept development • High level field review of 10 projects • Draft and final concepts for 10 projects • Cost estimates for 10 projects Task 8 — Policy / Code Review Fehr & Peers will review the Comprehensive Plan and applicable development codes to identify policies / codes that are supportive of Active Transportation as well as policies and codes that could hinder implementation of projects identified in the plan. We will also identify if new policy language should be incorporated into the plan, such as a policy related to micromobility devices or facility type selection, or if there are opportunities for enhancement based on current best practices. We have assumed that City staff will provide the relevant code sections to review. Based on the findings of the code review, we will include the appropriate findings in the Active Transportation Plan (Task 9). Task Deliverables: • Review of relevant policies and codes • Technical memorandum summarizing results of policy / code review. Task 9 — Plan Development The results of Tasks 1 through 8 will be documented in a plan that summarizes the process to develop the plan, the planned Active Transportation network, the prioritized project list as well as the concept plans. Specially, we will develop an administrative draft report for internal project team review, a draft report to share with key stakeholders and the public, and a final report that incorporates feedback from the public and other stakeholders. Task Deliverables: • Administrative draft report (assumes we will prepare a report outline, and a report with several rounds of editorial review) • Draft Report (to share with Public) Page7of9 • Final Report (incorporates comments from Public and other Stakeholders) Key Staff Key staff that would be assigned to this project include: Kathrin Tellez, Project Director, will serve as the project manager, providing overall project oversight, and serving as the day-to-day contact for the project. She led the development of the MetroPlan Orlando Regional Active Transportation Plan as well as the update to the Forward Pinellas Active Transportation Plan. She has also led the development of numerous corridor concept plans. Beneetta Jose, Professional - Transportation Planner, will be the primary project planner and visualization specialist. With a background in architecture and a master's in urban planning, she is adept at creating compelling visuals and 3D renderings of project concepts. Stephen Spana, Project Professional — Data Scientist, will lead the GIS analysis tasks. He has developed python scripts to automate the calculation of LTS for citywide networks. He also developed the accessibility analysis method to measure how accessible various links on the network are for walking and bicycling to help identify where projects could result in the largest increases in walking and bicycling activity. David Caplin, Professional — GIS Planner, will provide additional planning support, primarily focused on the GIS analysis. He is currently wrapping up analysis on the Broward County Low Stress Network plan Kristof Devastey, Senior Professional — Concepts, will lead the development of the corridor concept plans building on his safety and complete streets corridor planning experience. Jim Moser, Senior Technician, is our Senior CAD technician, will lead the set-up of project concepts and provide QA/QC of the CAD work. He led the development of the planning concept for several complete street corridor projects in Pinellas County. Cullen McCormick, Senior Professional — Visual Communications, leads our Creative Studio group and will support the development of the project brand and other project templates. He developed the Safe Streets Pinellas logo and is known for developing engaging materials. Lex Blye, Clerical, will provide administrative support, including project invoicing, and ensuring our certificates of insurance are up to date. These key staff will be supported by others as needed, such as CAD technicians to develop the concept plans, and bike/ped experts from other offices that can provide technical guidance should we need an outside perspective to address a unique situation. Schedule We anticipate a 16 -month schedule. A schedule by month is attached. At the project kick-off meeting, a more refined schedule will be developed to incorporate expected public engagement windows, targeting key dates of community activities and considering city review times, holidays and deadlines on other key City projects that could influence project progression.

Harrison Avenue Annex Building, 6th Floor Clearwater, Fl 33756 Dear Selection Committee Members: The Fehr & Peers (F&P) Team looks forward to continuing to support Forward Pinellas tackle the critical transportation challenges facing the region, including: • Improving transportation safety outcomes for all roadway users, especially those most vulnerable Providing increased transportation choices to all who live, work, and play in the region that actively supports the creation of more 20 -minute neighborhoods • Developing a cost effective, sustainable, and resilient transportation system that complements existing and planned land use development, promotes economic vitality, and accommodates existing and future mobility needs of your dynamic population As the most densely populated county in Florida, there are limited greenfield sites to accommodate projected population increases in Pinellas County. In addition, there is not sufficient right-of-way to accommodate the travel demands of existing and future residents in high-speed passenger cars and trucks. Infill and redevelopment projects present a unique opportunity to better balance jobs, housing and recreational opportunities within the County. Championing complete streets corridor improvements with investments in transit, bicycle, and pedestrian networks provide an opportunity to enhance travel options for existing and future residents, as well as reduce the number of severe and fatal injury crashes. With the backdrop of sea -level rise, the potential for more intense storms to affect the region, and an aging population that might become more reliant on walking and transit to travel in the future, we have assembled a skilled -team of multimodal transportation planners, land use planners, economists, resilience strategists, and urban designers who effectively utilize a wide variety of data, geographic information systems (GIS), and public engagement/communication skills to serve as extensions of staff to Forward Pinellas and member agencies, including Patel Green & Associates, LLC (PGA), Pritchett Steinbeck Group, Inc (PSG), Dover Kohl and Partners (DK&P), SB Friedman Development Advisors, Inc (SB Friedman), The Valerin Group (Valerin), Integral Consulting Inc., xGeographic, MKSK and Senior Communications.

Firm Fil,xperience with Projects of Similar Size and Past Performance PROJECT PLAN Fehr & Peers will be responsible for project management, including overall technical quality of the work and meeting project schedules. Our project manager, Kathrin Tellez, will serve as the main point of contact, receiving guidance from our Principal -in -Charge, Billy Hattaway, and delegating work to our technical staff internally. Our management structure focuses on open lines of communication and an open-door policy, allowing for regular access to the most appropriate technical minds for the task. An example project would include a Principal -in -Charge working closely with our Project Manager, who would form a core group of planners and engineers to be dedicated to the project throughout its duration. For task orders from this potential on-call agreement, Fehr & Peers will develop a detailed scope of services, fee estimate (including staff hour estimates with billing rates identified), and schedule for review by agency staff. We have found that detailed scopes of work ensure that agency staff and Fehr & Peers Team staff know exactly what is and is not included in our fee. This is the first management technique that needs to be clearly identified and agreed to by both parties. Once that is complete, the Fehr & Peers Team will internally kick-off the meeting with all project staff and set up the project in our accounting system. The task manager and principal in charge of the project will receive real-time budget tracking updates, including the total budget for the project, the budget spent on the task, and the budget remaining. Our approach to the Forward Pinellas GPC will be tailored to the specific tasks that are assigned and to the specific community at its center. Our familiarity with Pinellas County helps us understand how diverse and unique each community is. To maintain the quality of life and character of communities that Pinellas County is known for, we foresee using our skills to help Forward Pinellas: Shape land use outcomes and make transportation investments that allow for economic growth and a continued shift to a safer and more efficient use of all modes of transportation; Retool existing roads, neighborhoods, and business districts for future living arrangements that are more resilient, equitable, and responsive to the changes technology will bring; Provide clear, concise, and compelling decision-making information that enables stakeholders, agency partners, and elected officials to see the benefits and costs of alternative decisions; and Take leadership in bold actions such as local option funding propositions, major investments in transit, responses to climate change, and creating communities that are resilient to challenging economic, health, and social conditions. As necessitated by each project within the contract, we will organize regular coordination calls in order to update the agency Project Manager on project status, next steps, and overall schedule. Meeting agendas will be provided two business days prior to every meeting and meeting minutes/summaries will be provided following each meeting. Monthly progress reports of the entire team's work will be submitted along with each invoice. ON-CALL EXPERIENCE We understand that this on-call will include a variety of work types and deliverables. Fehr & Peers regularly works with agencies throughout the country on projects both large and small in numerous disciplines related to transportation consulting and engineering. We regularly work with local cities and towns, county agencies serving unincorporated areas, regional MPOs, and other agencies responsible for overseeing planning and infrastructure projects.

PROJECT EXAMPLES The following pages provide highlights of relevant projects completed by the various members of the project team. Icons are used to denote which firm led each project based on the legend below. Fehr& Peers • Patel, Green, and Associates MKSK SB Friedman Development Advisors • Pritchett Steinbeck Group xGeographic 41) Integral Consulting Senior Communications Dover, Kohl, & Partners The Valerin Group SAFE STREETS PINELLAS • • Fehr & Peers worked with Forward Pinellas to prepare a MPO -led Vision Zero Plan for Pinellas County. Forward Pinellas' role as a MPO provides a unique, regional opportunity to organize and activate partner agencies, local stakeholders, and community groups around Vision Zero. However, because Forward Pinellas is not an operating or implementing agency, achieving buy -in from partner agencies that operate, maintain and build transportation facilities in the county will be essential. The project approach was tailored to bring stakeholders together, build and train a Vision Zero Task Force, and empower member agencies to become enduring champions of Vision Zero. Public outreach includes capacity building sessions for task force members, public engagement strategy that was quickly pivoted from in-person to on-line due to COVID-19, and demonstration projects, including the use of near -miss technology. A Vision Zero Action Plan with a toolbox out countermeasures, and funding strategies is also being developed. As a part of this project, we developed Python scripts to more efficiently download data from the CDMS system, which was then cleaned and mapped to an Enterprise GIS database for client collaboration. The preparation of on-line maps displaying all data allowed Forward Pinellas staff to provide more detailed and nuanced feedback on the overall analytic approach that may have been lost had only static maps been prepared. We also developed a High Injury Network (H IN), working with Forward Pinellas staff to refine the calculation methods to ensure vulnerable roadway users were adequately being captured in the HIN. As part of the HIN, transit ridership data was obtained from PSTA and mapped against the HIN to determine transit stop locations on the HIN and safety hot spot locations that could be prioritized for safety improvements. A unique aspect of the safe streets Pinellas project is the incorporation of demonstration projects To reinforce the importance of regional agencies working with local partner agencies to achieve Vision zero. Once the high injury network was identified and a toolbox of countermeasures Developed, the demonstration projects in the categories of education, technology, pilot project and Speed management served as proof of concept for future actions by forward Pinellas and member agencies. Education The educational event was centered around the installation of a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) and included Collaboration with the county and a local city to accelerate the installation at location where a Person bicycling had been killed the prior year. It included three main elements: • Memorial ceremony honoring the victim of a fatal collision at this location • Public engagement and education • Informal observations and data collection of trail users and motorists The gratitude of the family to have some good come out the senseless death of their family member was an overwhelming reminder of our role as transportation planners and engineers to improve transportation safety in our communities. Technology Fehr & peers retained street simplified, a near -miss technology vendor to collect and evaluate high-definition video of people walking, biking, driving, and riding motorcycles through an intersection to identify specific types of near -misses that are occurring. Through review of the near -misses, which are defined as potentially high-risk interactions between roadway users that did not result in a crash, additional insights in understanding intersection safety concerns were developed in collaboration with D7, county and city staff. A set of near term and longer-term recommendations were developed based on the analysis, including signal timing modifications and installation of enhanced lighting in the near-term, and longer-term recommendations that may require reconstruction of the intersection. Pilot Project The City of St. Petersburg agreed to pilot a partially protected intersection at 1st Avenue S and 2nd Street S in their downtown. The intersection incorporates a crossing of the Pinellas Trail as a two-way cycle track. Construction of the improvement was completed in May 2022. The results of the before and after data collection and survey effort indicate that construction of the protected intersection elements has: • Reduced the mean, 85th percentile and maximum speed of right turning motorists, indicating that the demonstration project treatment has been effective in reducing the likelihood of serious injury or death resulting from future potential collisions with vulnerable users. • Reduced the frequency of near -miss events at the intersection between people walking/bicycling and people driving. Additionally, the project has received a favorable response the residents who participated in the survey and the city has not received any negative feedback to date and they plan to replicate the improvement at other locations. Speed Management The final project was a collaboration between Indian Rocks Beach and D7. The initial intent was the installation of a temporary raised crosswalk across Gulf Boulevard at a location where speeding was a concern. Unfortunately, D7 was not amenable to installation of a temporary raised crosswalk on a FDOT facility due to the lack of curb and gutter along the corridor. They agreed to install enhanced crosswalk markings at side streets along the corridor and increase the conspicuity of the lane markings for the bicycle and pedestrian facility which is flush with the roadway to delineate the non- motorized realm. These improvements were incorporated into an already underway drainage project. Timeline: October 2019 - February 2023 Budget: $225,000 Project was completed on time and on budget. WINTER PARK DRIVE COMPLETE STREET CORRIDOR CONCEPT ® ® 0 Fehr & Peers led a multidisciplinary team to prepare a complete street and concept development study for the Winter Park Drive corridor in Casselberry, FE, a MetroPlan Orlando funded project. The almost 4 -mile corridor contains a variety of street cross-sections and right-of-way limitations. Development on the Winter Park Drive corridor started almost a century ago and contains a mixture of housing types, land uses and street design typologies. As recent planning efforts have considered pieces of this corridor, this project represents an opportunity to conduct a holistic evaluation of the entire corridor, tying together recently identified improvements and creating a cohesive vision for the corridor. The end result of the project is the development of strategies to support the multimodal vision and improve the safety, accessibility, health, and comfort for all users of the corridor. The Fehr & Peers Team approach considers the unique character of segments along the corridor. A preliminary assessment of the corridor identified ten distinct areas. Overall, the corridor has varying right-of- way, varying sidewalk setbacks from the curb, and varying levels of bicycle facilities, from on -street bicycle lanes to shared lane markings. A consistent theme through the corridor is front -on housing, with multiple driveway conflict points that will need to be carefully considered in the development of project alternatives. There are also a number of existing and planned trail connections to the corridor that need to be maintained or enhanced as a part of this project. Our initial approach to developing alternatives would independently evaluate each segment to determine the feasibility of specific improvements. As part of the project, the Fehr & Peers team: • Led task force meetings • Led a virtual public engagement campaign • Developed an existing conditions assessment, including multimodal traffic operations and level of traffic stress • Developed three project alternatives • Developed a preferred alternative based on environmental constraints • Prepared a concept plan Timeline: January 2021- February 2023 Budget: $299,889 Project was completed on time and on budget. •••. Winter • Park Drive COMPLETE STREET FORWARD PINELLAS GEOFENCING PILOT Fehr& Peers supported Forward Pinellas' participation in a speed management pilot program (pilot) in partnership with District 7 (D7) of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR). The study focused on Park Boulevard, part of the Pinellas County High Injury Network. Targeted educational outreach was conducted using location -based Facebook and Instagram ads delivered to mobile devices of people traveling on or near Park Boulevard, in addition to business outreach, and other organic outreach through social media, traditional media, targeted enforcement and variable messaging signs. People were invited to complete a short on-line survey to share their driving experiences on the Park Boulevard which provided an opportunity for education, and to receive feedback from the community. The outreach and enforcement campaign were conducted in July through September of 2022. Results of the pilot indicate that the targeted outreach and enforcement had little effect on the overall travel speed of motorists along the corridor. A detailed crash analysis is pending finalization of crash data. While the desired outcome, slowing the speeds of drivers, does not appear to have been achieved as a part of this project, the targeted outreach using the geofencing technology was noted as an effective method to reach a high proportion of the population who travels along the Park Boulevard corridor and this technology could be especially effective for a corridor project to solicit feedback from routine users of a facility, not just people who live within 500 feet of the facility. Timeline: February 2022 -Ongoing Budget: $59,265 The project is ongoing and currently on budget. SEE IP 3O Slow Dawn loot o P 78TH AVE COMPLETE STREETS CONCEPT PLAN 0 Fehr & Peers worked with the City of Pinellas Park to develop the 78th Avenue Complete Streets Concept Plan. The project limits are generally from 66th Street N in the west to US 19 in the east, with the core of the corridor connecting the City Center and Performing Arts districts. The envisioned corridor is intended to be complementary to the 70th Avenue corridor in the south to provide key east -west bicycle and pedestrian connections that are more comfortable and less stressful than Park Boulevard. 78th Avenue currently provides a three -lane cross section within a typical 60 -foot right-of-way. Sidewalks are provided on both sides of the street. Along some roadway sections, there is a landscape strip that separates the pedestrian realm from the vehicle travel way; in other portions, the sidewalk abuts the travel lane. No dedicated bicycle facilities are provided. As part of the 2020 Community Redevelopment Plan, the city considered different cross-sections for 78th Avenue. As the City Center Plan effort (City Center effort) occured simultaneously with the 78th Avenue Concept Plan development, the 78th Avenue Corridor plan was coordinated with the City Center effort. As part of the project, the Fehr & Peers team: • Led task force meetings • Developed an existing conditions assessment, including multimodal traffic operations and level of traffic stress • Developed three project alternatives • Developed a preferred alternative based on environmental constraints and cost estimates • Prepared a concept plan, including 3D renderings Timeline: February 2021- December 2021 Budget: $124,935 Project was completed on time and on budget. KISSIMMEE SAFETY AUDIT Fehr & Peers worked with MetroPlan Orlando and the City of Kissimmee to develop a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan, building upon the Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Action Plans prepared in 2019. Kissimmee was identified as a safety focus area with an 84 percent increase in serious and fatal injury (KSI) crashes in the past decade as compared to 6 percent for the region. During that same time period (2012-2021), population growth in Kissimmee was about 20 percent. The project identified focus areas for detailed study, based on the vulnerable user high injury network (HIN) coupled with other factors, including trail and school crossing locations, community of concern boundaries, and if the area had been the subject of prior study. Key Tasks that were completed for the project include: • Identify priority areas for engineering, education, and enforcement efforts, with a focus on vulnerable roadway users • Conduct field reviews for each location • Conduct crash analysis • Develop Corridor and intersection condition diagrams • Conduct Road Safety Audits • Develop Recommendations Timeline: March 2022 - October 2022 Budget: $79,500 Project was completed on time and on budget. Kissimmee Safety Audit 4, OCTA DEFENSE .A INET CLIMATE CHANGE As part of a team evaluating climate risks for a key rail corridor in Orange County, Fehr & Peers conducted an assessment of station area amenities and first/last mile facilities to understand the risks and opportunities posed by climate change — in particular high heat exposure — at 12 stations. This assessment included consideration of the existing station amenities and first/last mile facilities, physical conditions, projected climate risks, and ridership characteristics to understand the full set of risks and outcomes that could arise as a result of climate change. This assessment resulted in an initial prioritization to focus attention on near-term investment needs and long-term investment needs to implement adaptation strategies. Following this assessment, Fehr & Peers provided implementation recommendations and cost estimation to help guide future investments and upgrades to infrastructure that would increase resilience of the rail system, increase the adaptive capacity of the surrounding communities, and reduce hazards related to climate change. Timeline: Octobber2019 - March 2021 Budget: $29,842 Project was completed on time and on budget. RESILIENT SLO Resilient SLO goals and objectives are to evaluate the current and future hazards to the City of San Luis Obispo's transportation network. Including how predicted climate change will alter these hazards, identify where vulnerabilities exist, and lastly prioritize adaptation strategies for these expected changes. This project will work closely with the community in and around the City of SLO. This is a Caltrans SB 1 funded project. Timeline: May 2020 - October 2022 Budget: $66,800 Project was completed on time and on budget. MONTECITO FIRE PREVENTION DISTRICT EVACUATION STUDY Fehr & Peers is supporting the Montecito Fire Department in understanding more about evacuation patterns and outcomes related to wildfire risk. Using a subarea extraction from the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments' (SBCAG) Travel Demand Model, Fehr & Peers is deploying our tool, EVAC+, to run dynamic traffic scenarios in response to input parameters that reflect conditions that MFD is interested in testing. EVAC+ produces a variety of metrics related to evacuation outcomes, such as average evacuation times for an area, location of bottlenecks on the network, and number of evacuating vehicles for an area. Following the analysis, our team will develop recommendations to manage the congestion, improve communication with residents, and strategically allocate staff resources during an evacuation. Timeline: May 2021 -August 2022 Budget: $86,170 Project was completed on time and on budget. WEST CLIFF DRIVE ADAPTATION PLAN The West Cliff Drive climate adaptation and management plan was focused around understanding the erosion risks and implications to West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, California. This is a 2.7 mile corridor along Monterey Bay in the Pacific Ocean. It is a multi -use recreational and residential corridor, with existing sea caves eroding below the roadway. Coordinating work along with coastal geomorphologists, biologists, economists, Fehr& Peers provided insight into corridor transportation management solutions. The transportation analysis project costs were $74,000 and involved the following: • Existing conditions GIS asset inventory through the corridor • Multimodal traffic counts and Microsimulation analysis for current and future year alternatives • Conceptual alternative corridor designs based on stakeholder feedback • Maintaining the current configuration of the corridor, with enhancements • Converting of the corridor to only permit one-way vehicle traffic with an enhanced bicycling facility WEST CLIFF DRIVE • Reconfiguring or closing major sections of West Cliff Drive. • Cost Benefit Analysis for aforementioned alternative Timeline: April 2019 - March 2021 Budget: $74,270 Project was completed on time and on budget. Cross Section of West Cliff Drive converted to one-way vehicle traffic with enhanced bicycling facility • WEST ASHLEY GREENWAY & BIKEWAY CO As part of the effort to make West Ashley more connected, creating improvements to these existing trails was identified as a priority in the Plan West Ashley master plan, completed in 2018. The West Ashley Greenway parallels Savannah Highway, the major arterial running through West Ashley, while the West Ashley Bikeway traverses many of the area's historic neighborhoods. As part of the effort to modernize the trail, Dover, Kohl & Partners worked with Alta Planning & Design and the Horsely Witten Group to facilitate the public involvement process, and to design and visualize the changes to the trail. Improvements to the trail include widening the trail pavement from 8' to 12', improving the placement of bollards that are dangerously placed, improving facilities along the trail, with drinking fountains, pet stations, benches and small plazas at important locations. A major change to the trail is the priority it will be given. Currently, trail users must stop at each street that bisects the trail, but proposed changes would create raised intersections at the trail crossings with stop signs for crossing auto traffic. At a few major intersections where there is currently no safe way to cross, new crosswalks and other safety features will be installed to improve the experience of using the trail. Additionally, there will be a public art component to the trail. A goal of the plan for the trail was to identify key areas where public art would have the best impact for the community, and to propose ideas that are reflective of the shared goals and values of the community.

CLEMATIS STREET • Clematis Street is West Palm Beach's Main Street, containing a diverse array of civic buildings, restaurants, apartments, hotels, shops, and bars. Previous improvements have contributed to the growth of many businesses along the street, however as the street continues to grow and evolve, more improvements are needed. Currently, a lack of shade trees, and relatively narrow sidewalks can create a difficult walking environment, especially for those who require additional levels of accessibility. Dover, Kohl and Partners created a design for streetscape improvements that will provide more street trees for shade and wider sidewalks for an improved pedestrian environment. These wider sidewalks will contain more space for seating, street furniture, and other amenities. The design for the new street is also completely curbless, creating the feel of a shared space. The plan for the new streetscape was created in close collaboration with the City of West Palm Beach, Kimley-Horn, community businesses and stakeholders, as well as members of the broader community. A grand re -opening celebration for the first completed block was held on November 1, 2018. Timeline: Design adopted in 2018 (5 months) Budget: $242,000 Project was completed on time and on budget.

HILLSBOROUGH TPO BICYCLE NETWORK PLAN Committed to improving the mobility and safety of all residents, Hillsborough County and the Hillsborough Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) have identified, evaluated, and prioritized bicycle facility needs along the County's roadway transportation network. The data -driven methodology addresses the mobility and safety needs of people on bicycles. The planning process identified four high-priority corridors that are geographically dispersed across the County for further evaluation. Review and analysis of each corridor yielded a range of potential project opportunities to add or improve bicycle facilities with the recommended improvements been grouped into tiers based on priority. PGA screened the planning -level recommendations for constructability and refined them into sets of implementable concept plans for each corridor. With an emphasis on creating comfortable and connected facilities for bicyclists, PGA developed concept plans for each corridor that comprehensively will improve safety for all roadway users. The bikeway designs incorporate best practices from the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), including separated bike lanes and the use of green markings to add emphasis in conflict areas. The concepts also reflect the latest guidance from the Florida Design Manual to encourage speeds that fit the land use context through elements such as narrowed travel lanes, tightened curb radii to shorten crossing distances at intersections, and the addition of crossings with median refuges and midblock pedestrian signals. The proposed shared -use paths include features such as enhanced driveway crossings and wayfinding. PGA prepared design reports that included the conceptual design plans, cost estimates, and implementation considerations to advance the projects to the next design stage.

TARGET EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRIAL LAND STUDY (TEIL5) UPDATE • SB Friedman, as part of a team, updated Pinellas County's TEILS. Given recent state legislation putting industrial land at risk for conversion to residential, this study explored the County's target industries, and their space needs to understand how much land needs to be preserved. The goal of the TEILS update was to evaluate what land to preserve for target employment uses and set policies to protect these sites for employment uses. We conducted target industry cluster analysis and interviews to develop a strong understanding of the County's industrial and office ecosystem and provide a baseline for exploring gaps and strategies for improvement; conducted industrial and office market analyses to evaluate market conditions and quantify the demand for new industrial and office development, specifically for target industries; and developed prototypical building profiles to benchmark the form and specifications of existing buildings to understand the extent to which existing buildings may be obsolete for modern tenants. These profiles were used to inform recommendations regarding required building upgrades and future land use needs. The Forward Pinellas Board approved the Target Employment and Industrial Lands Study on January 11, 2023. This research is being used to inform land use policies and strategies to support economic development throughout the county.

THE PACKING DISTRICT TRAIL CONNECTIVITY ANALYSIS x ° xGeographic and Bike/Walk Central Florida teamed up to provide a comprehensive trail connectivity analysis for Dr. Phillips, Inc., builder of The Packing District in Orlando, Florida. The study consisted of numerous step-by-step analyses, beginning with an assessment and aggregation of numerous development plans, trail plans and roadway retrofits provided by construction partners of Dr. Phillips, Inc., the Florida Department of Transportation, and the City of Orlando. An existing conditions analysis was then completed to identify critical activity centers and points of interest within a 5 -mile radius of The Packing District site, alongside an inventory and analysis of all existing and planned trails, bicycle boulevards and bike lanes in the area. The existing conditions analysis led to the identification of priority trail corridors, which were refined via an assessment of available right-of-way, level of traffic stress, and consultation with Dr. Phillips, Inc. Three priority levels were set and a final "primary" trail alignment was developed, which consisted of an 11 -mile loop connecting The Packing District with UCF Downtown, Orlando's Central Business District, Ivanhoe Village, the AdventHealth District, and two statewide trail corridors. Consultation was provided to Dr. Phillips, Inc. on implementation strategies and grant funding opportunities, as the firm's charity segment is willing to build trails off of the primary development site in order to connect the district with the rest of Central Florida. Budget- $35,000 (Estimated & Final) Timeline - February 2022 —July, 2022 Project was completed on time and on budget. PIKE 5 CITIES IMPACT ANALYSIS & STORY MAP xGeographic developed a comprehensive analysis for Bike/Walk Central Florida summarizing and visualizing the impact that the "Bike 5 Cities" event (and associated bike route) have in the Central Florida region. The analysis consisted of numerous thematic studies, ranging from a walking and biking population accessibility analysis to a route safety audit, an intersection countermeasure analysis, identification of signage and wayfinding opportunities, demographic and health impact analyses, identification of parks and points of interest located in close proximity to the route, identification of activity center connection opportunities, listings of businesses within a 10 -minute walk of the biking route, and a tree shading plan. The analysis also identified actionable materials for Bike/ Walk Central Florida to promote the event to nearby residents through an address listing of all residential units within a 10 minute walk of the route, and an impact document for Bike/Walk Central Florida to use to pursue additional grant and donation funding to improve the biking route.

This corn munity-based plan does more than set forth a collective vision for the future growth and revitalization of Downtown Gainesville. It also sets up a practical framework for implementation that will be sustainable and impactful. The process followed the City of Gainesville's Eight Core Values for Community Engagement, which established a foundation for how to involve those impacted by the outcomes of the plan and ensured our outreach methods would reach a diverse audience. Through public meetings, an online website with activities, and paper surveys at community events in typically underrepresented communities, the MKSK team used this process as an opportunity to build community and harbor trust. Taken together, this conversation resulted in hundreds of ideas that helped to shape and guide the plan, organized into six key findings. These findings were used as the organizing element in the plan's recommendations, and the backbone of the resulting 16 ideas for downtown. Following the plan's unanimous adoption by City Commission in October of 2022, City leadership immediately focused on enabling the first steps toward implementation. These steps included a two-day implementation retreat, led by MKSK, with City leaders, community leaders, and open public participation. Through site tours with local residents and business owners, interviews with downtown stakeholders from peer communities, and detailed discussion regarding downtown place management, capital project funding approaches and supporting policy and legislation, the City and project partners are poised to make substantive progress towards the community's vision for Downtown Gainesville. Budget: $266,850.00 Timeline: December 2020 - Ongoing Project is currently on time and on budget. REEDY RIVER REDEVELOPMENT AREA, AFFORDABLE HOUSING STUDY MKSK and the City of Greenville have partnered on an innovative approach to equitable development and public space planning on the west side of Greenville, SC. The Reedy River Redevelopment Area (RRRA) is a 350 acre district in the historically African American neighborhoods of Southernside and West Greenville and is centered around the Reedy River. In a proactive approach to planning for flood hazards, real estate market pressures, and community needs, MKSK prepared a district plan for parks and open space in the Reedy River floodplain and an affordable housing and equitable development plan for the neighborhoods surrounding the river and future park. This comprehensive approach to parks and community planning provided the foundation for social and environmental equity in the culturally - rich neighborhoods west of downtown Greenville and also provided a model for urban floodplain management and green infrastructure. Building on the district planning effort that launched in 2016, MKSK has continued to assist the City and greater Greenville community in the development of this vision with the creation of a Community Character Code (form -based code), detailed design and engineering for a signature urban riverfront park (Unity Park), and affordable housing and development planning for the district. Unity Park is supported by both public and private funding. The project is currently under construction. The Affordable Housing Strategy was a targeted effort geared towards quick implementation and the near-term creation of affordable housing units that would coincide with the development of Greenville's newest community park and signature public space — Unity Park. The Strategy developed by MKSK had two areas of focus: 1) identify the development potential of city -owned parcels surrounding Unity Park for the maximum number of affordable housing units that fit within the community's vision for development type and character, and 2) create a process that could be replicated in other parts of the Greenville community for the creation of affordable housing. In partnership with LS3P Architects, Homes of Hope, and TRG Development, and through a community-based process that involved strong neighborhood engagement, the MKSK team prepared site-specific development plans and parameters which informed the immediate packaging of publicly -owned parcels for affordable housing development RFPs. The MKSK team also prepared specific funding, policy, and regulatory recommendations that supported broader efforts for the development of affordable housing throughout the Greenville community. Budget: Phase 1: $2.52M; Phase 2 (Wetlands): $172,860; Future Phase (Tower): $193,609 Timeline: March 2016 -Ongoing Project is currently on time and on budget.

CITY OF MOUNT DORA'S DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE AND IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Downtown merchants feared the city of Mount Dora's downtown infrastructure and streetscape improvement project would negatively affect businesses and lead to closures. City officials wanted to complete downtown construction work in phases during three consecutive summer months, completing the work each year before the city's busy fall season began. Designs were complete and the right contractor was on board to complete the work. Now officials needed to reassure downtown merchants that the construction wouldn't destroy their businesses through public relations and outreach initiatives. As the city's Public Communications Officer, Kelda Senior collaborated with contractor Burkhardt Construction and downtown merchants to develop and launch a public outreach campaign during the summer months of construction. The 'Open for Business' campaign's main objective was to encourage locals and visitors to support downtown businesses during the construction phase. The city's objectives were two -fold: 1. Communicate that downtown Mount Dora was open for business 2. Incentivize shopping and dining downtown through promotions and events Campaign tactics included clear, consistent messaging, paid digital marketing, earned media, in-person outreach, city -funded promotional events as well as installing colorful flags and business wayfinding signage throughout the construction zones downtown.

Fehr& Peers Patel, Green, and Associates 0 0 MKSK Pritchett Stein beck Group SB Friedman xGeographic Development Advisors 4111) Integral Consulting 411) Senior Communications Dover, Kohl, & Partners The Valerin Group MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND ANALYSIS ®® XGEO ®® Fehr & Peers has unique expertise providing transportation services from the early planning stages of a project to the development of design plans, and through final implementation in the field. We integrate our design and construction management expertise with our extensive knowledge of planning and multimodal operations to provide clients with the ideal combination of creative yet practical solutions that address the needs of all travel modes. This comprehensive approach to transportation planning is a benefit to clients looking to develop cost-effective and implementable projects. When streets are safer, designed and inviting for pedestrians and bicyclists, more people walk and bike, improving community health and accessibility for everyone. We also recognize that desired planning elements for all types of users cannot always fit into the available space so we use a "Complete Network" perspective to identify priority networks for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, trucks and automobiles. We also promote transportation concepts that complements the desired character of the built and natural environment. Fehr Peers is an expert utilizing all commercially available intersection operations analysis software available to ensure that we are able to address the key issues and concerns associated with each individual project. This expertise includes utilization of the following LOS software where we have developed post processing tools to convert vehicle -delay based results to person -delay when appropriate for the context. : • Synchro/SimTraffic • Highway Capacity Software (HCS) • Vistro • VISSIM • TransModeller • Corsim • Complete Streets Software • SIDRA and other roundabout analysis tools, including HCS+, RODEL, SimTraffic, Paramics, & VISSIM Depending on the application, one software may be more appropriate than another. For signal coordination or interchange studies, where queuing and closely spaced intersections are of concern, application of a micro -simulation tool such as SimTraffic (cars, trucks and pedestrians) or VISSIM (also including bicyclists, transit and rail) may be more appropriate. Additionally, we have created our own suite of tools (Streetscore+, Crosswalk+, etc.) to better evaluate level of traffic stress and other multimodal considerations. As it relates to traffic operations and simulation, Fehr & Peers was a BETA tester for Synchro / SimTraffic when Fred Choa was attending UC Berkeley in the early 1990's and got to know the engineers who developed the software. Since then, Fred has been teaching the application of Synchro / SimTraffic through UC Berkeley's Technology Transfer program throughout the State of California, and most recently via online classes throughout the US, Canada, and even Europe. Fehr & Peers was also the first US company to apply VISSIM. We applied it to the design and operations planning of the now -built Transbay Terminal in downtown San Francisco. Through the use of VISSIM, we sorted specific bus assignments to stops, and strategies for short-term staging and long-term midday storage us buses on a ramp and bus platform about a third of the size of the prior terminal. We also used VISSIM to design the Temporary Transbay Terminal that was in -use for 10 years as the permanent terminal was constructed. MODELING AND SIMULATION ® XGEO Our expertise in transportation forecasting and operations helps clients to understand and plan for transportation futures and strategies in a changing world through leading-edge data, technology, and a holistic multimodal approach. Fehr & Peers recognizes the vital importance of listening to client needs, concerns, and questions for every project. We partner with our clients to understand specific critical questions, audiences, resources, and schedules to identify the best analytic for the task. All of these elements are then used to craft a tailored approach to match the analysis circumstances. We communicate potential outcomes, consequences, and limitations clearly and work to help clients create imagery effectively explaining the analytical story. We consider risk and uncertainty in every forecasting and operations project. Forecasting future travel demand and analyzing transportation network performance are fundamental steps in helping our clients make decisions about how to modify future land use patterns and effectively invest in multi -modal transportation networks. We have developed data and analytical approaches that directly address uncertainty, and in turn help our clients understand specific risks and test the resiliency of network modifications to improve confidence in making large, fixed infrastructure decisions. Fehr& Peers has experience using the current FSUTMS Model for the Tampa Bay Region within the CUBE modeling platform. We also have experience using other modeling platforms, including PTV Visum and TransCAD and are prepared for the migration of the current models from CUBE to PTV Visum. Along congested multimodal corridors, we have also successfully developed microsimulation models to help decision makers better understand the interactions between all roadway users and capture the effects of bottlenecks and congestion on overall system operations. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES C A truly multimodal perspective differentiates Fehr& Peers from many of our peers. We incorporate consideration of all modes into every project, whether it be the design of a new interchange or the preparation of a traffic calming/ lane repurposing plan. This approach embraces the variety of perspectives that different user groups bring to their interactions with pedestrian and bicycle -focused infrastructure, including persons with disabilities and other special needs, bicyclists of all experience levels, transit dependent, and transit choice users. As many of our clients attest, our ability to provide objective state -of -the -practice design and analysis and an inclusive, holistic approach has improved countless projects. Planning and design for bicycling and walking evolve continually, and our active transportation experts provide our clients with national expertise and industry- leading innovation developed through project work and research and publications with professional organizations such as the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), and the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP). Our Bicycle/ Pedestrian and Multimodal Safety R&D teams bring together company -wide experts to ensure that the state of the practice infuses all of our work. Our ongoing internal initiatives on transportation equity and community engagement also ensure that we remain at the forefront of the conversation and ahead of evolving best practices in these important areas. Leveraging the institutional knowledge of agency staff and local knowledge of the community is incredibly important to creating bicycle and pedestrian facilities that truly serve their local communities. We therefore take the time to meet with technical advisory committees and engage with the community in ways they are most familiar with. When conducting outreach, we use both traditional meetings and open houses as well as online surveys, interactive web maps, and innovative pop-up demonstration projects to engage communities and gather user feedback on proposed designs. We are currently working with MetroPlan Orlando on their Ride & Stride 2050 plan, their regional action transportation plan. We developed a custom project logo, are leading on-line public engagement efforts, and are currently preparing a level of traffic stress and pedestrian level of comfort assessment for the three - county region. The process will ultimately culminate with a project list and strategies that can be incorporated into the 2050 MTP. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED ® O XGEO Forward Pinellas is the Designated Official Planning Agency for the Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) program in Pinellas County. The TD program provides reduced cost transportation throughout the County to residents who qualify. With approximately 1/3rd of the Pinellas County population classified as TD (based on age, income and/or disability), identifying new or relocated bus stop locations that best serve the TD community, communicating available resources to system users and social services providers, and implementing service changes through PSTA are key program challenges. Our team can help support the TD program in Pinellas County. DATA COLLECTION, DEVELOPMENT, AND ANALYSIS As recognized national leaders in multiple areas of transportation data science, we use the latest technology, develop our own tools, evaluate emerging technologies, and coordinate with our clients and technology partners to understand data options and limitations. Our data science experts frequently speak at conferences nationwide to share our insights on the very latest innovative tools and techniques. We can store, access, process, and — most importantly — effectively secure massive data sets. With investments in database engineers and data scientists, we bring data from different sources together, automate functions that increase loading speed, and most importantly keep client data secure. TRAM. {LO0U9i PALM MACH LAM BM This service improves our ability to meet client needs on transportation projects and make the experience a service of its own. Fehr & Peers maintains contracts with big data providers, such as StreetLight Data, Terralytics, Swiftly, Wejo, Street Simplified, and others to provide origin/destination data, routing information, safety data on near -misses, travel speed, trip length, and other transportation metrics. We continually evaluate the applicability of data from non-traditional sources to help answer transportation questions that previously could not be easily answered. We maintain contracts with these firms to allow us to easily access their data, which we often do in advance of project application to ensure the appropriateness of the data source. We have also been applying big data in safety analysis, including: • Local calibration of near -miss parameters • Identifying concentrations of near -miss collisions • Pairing near -miss collisions with vehicle/ped/bike movement • Before and after study • Statistical regression • Comparison to traditional collision data Our staff also served as lead authors for the Institute of Transportation Engineers publication Applications of Big Data in Safety Analysis (published August 2022: Incorporating Big Data into Safety Analysis: an Integrated and Proactive Approach - Institute of Transportation Engineers (ite.org), which featured the near -miss analysis we conducted with Forward Pinellas at the intersection of Alt Route 19 and Curlew Road. ACCESS MANAGEMENT 0• GEO Context classification, Target Speed, adjacent land use characteristics and roadway ownership are all key components of an Access Management analysis, and based on each of those components, different access management strategies may be developed. Access management strategies can also help agencies achieve goals related to transportation safety and enhance land use access via non -auto modes. The Fehr & Peers Team has led numerous access management assessments in the region. MOBILITY AND DEMAND MANAGEMENT ® XGEO In many communities, preparation of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a required element of the development review process as the local transportation system cannot accommodate all new travel to be in the form of private automobile trips. To help developers identify TDM strategies that can be built into a project, like land use mixture, density, building placement, and transportation infrastructure as well as operational strategies that could be employed once a project is built and occupied, like transit passes, parking charges and access to e -bike share programs, Fehr & Peers developed a tool that helps quantify the potential parking demand reduction, vehicle trip reduction, and vehicle miles of travel reduction based on nationals published data. TRANSPORTATION/MOBILITY IMPACT FEES • %GEO Preparation of defensible Mobility Fees are a key tool to fund improvements to the transportation system to accommodate new development. Our team brings extensive local and national experience to the preparation of Impact Fees and their associated Nexus studies, including ongoing work with the City of Tampa to help them evolve their fee to better reflect their desire for improvements to the transportation system that improve safety outcomes, and result in greater levels of walking, bicycling, and transit use to maximize the person capacity of their transportation system. PARKING AND CIRCULATION ® EO XG Fehr & Peers has prepared hundreds of parking studies for public, private, and institutional clients throughout the United States. We frequently perform: • Parking Supply/Inventory Evaluations • Parking Demand Analysis • Shared Parking and Parking Variance Evaluations • Parking Garage Access and Circulation Analysis • Parking Pricing Strategies • On -Street Parking Design and Management Strategies • Special Event Parking Plans We consistently work with land use planning, urban design, and economic forecasting firms to integrate parking as a critical component of urban center planning. As part of these efforts, we analyze how parking demand can be met through shared parking, supply/inventory requirements, and parking management strategies. We provide innovative, yet practical solutions to complex parking situations, frequently drawing on our expertise in travel demand forecasting, traffic operations and simulation, traffic calming, and traffic engineering design in our studies. We focus on vehicular access as well as the safety and convenience of pedestrians and bic clists. ,y,.r o ., With our team's extensive knowledge of industry best practices and experience solving complex parking problems, we will dive deep and identify unique patterns, evolving mobility and parking trends, specific hot spots of demand, and any core issues related to land use and associated parking requirements. A key feature in our approach is our use of big data and custom tools and models to analyze how current trends relate to auto ownership, transit access, and how pricing strategies influence parking demand. WATERBORNE TRANSPORTATION • X,GEO Given Pinellas County's peninsular geography, waterborne transportation can provide another travel option for residents and visitors. The success of the Cross Bay Ferry demonstrates that this transportation method is viable in Pinellas County. Fehr & Peers has developed ridership forecasts for Ferry Systems in California, Washington and Hawaii, and have also identified ferry terminal access management strategies. FEASIBILITY STUDIES ®� XGEO 00® How feasible is your project? How can we move it from an idea into the adopted work program? A feasibility study can help to determine if a project will help the region achieve specific goals, objectives and performance metrics as articulated in various planning documents. Our team is able to lead a range of feasibility studies to identify if there are engineering, environmental, right-of- way, or other issues that might impede the ability of a project to be implemented, as well as work through a wide range of alternatives to help identify a transportation project that best meets the purpose and need and balances various constraints. COMPLETE STREETS The Fehr & Peers Team, is prepared and able to support Forward Pinellas and local agency staff in the delivery of Complete Streets projects. The Team's approach to Complete Streets will be to work with Forward Pinellas and other agency staff to identify ways to enhance and expand upon existing initiatives, with a focus on projects that will sustain momentum in improving safety for vulnerable users and making active transportation modes more appealing for recreational and utilitarian travel. The creation of a Complete Street requires identifying a vision and solutions that fit both the surrounding land use and community context. The Fehr& Peers Team is accustomed to adjusting project approaches to suit the needs and processes of local agencies. We utilize a data -driven approach to assessing safety and documenting conditions and needs so there is a solid baseline to support recommendations. We use tested tools and best practice guidance to provide the technical support needed to move projects through the idea, approval, and implementation stages. RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY T ®0®® As the transportation industry, climate, and our world continues to change and evolve, we must transform and adapt our methods, strategy, and thinking to enable communities to proactively guide their transportation futures. Changes in legislation, technology, community values, and travel demands are ongoing, and they all affect how communities manage and approach transportation. Finding answers to these new challenges in partnership with our clients and communities is our focus. Supporting clients in planning for and responding to transportation system disruptions caused by climate change and other natural disasters, to keep people connected to the places they need to go. More information is provided about our Climate Resilience work in a subsequent section, but resilience comes in many forms for a community, including travel choice, access to jobs. education and services, and more sustainable building patterns that help promote more sustainable travel patterns. SAFETY AUDITS O. XGEO Safety Audits include participants from a wide range of backgrounds with a goal of obtaining a multitude of perspectives on each study location. To facilitate the safety audit of 15 locations in Kissimmee, Fehr & Peers developed a briefing book that was provided to each audit participant. The briefing book included transportation system data, crash data, lighting levels (audits were done during the day and we wanted audit participants to understand nighttime conditions) and a place to write notes and observations. These briefing books were instrumental in helping guide a group of 12 -people to 15 study locations over the course of two mornings to provide constructive feedback on how to improve safety in their community. Fehr & Peers also led the development of the California Pedestrian Safety Assessment tool to guide pedestrian focused safety audits FREIGHT ANALYSIS ® 41) 0 Approaching freight planning with integration in mind, we provide clients with solutions that simultaneously address safety, accessibility, economic vitality, and quality of life. The importance of effective freight planning and design increases with the evolution in trucking, freight rail operations, and port activity. Growth trends in the industry impact communities, strain the capacity of our transportation system, and increase energy use and emissions. At Fehr& Peers, our strengths lie in our unique abilities to combine extensive expertise in freight planning with our intimate knowledge of local communities to find practical and innovative solutions in line with community values. We employ a layered network approach to our freight projects. Recognizing the importance of ensuring solutions to freight - related problems are integrated into the transportation system of a community, we approach every project with a consideration of all systems and modes by layering freight routes and truck movements over the existing multimodal system in a way that is sensitive to the community context. This integration includes first- and last -mile facilities, modal transfers, and public/private connections. We understand the growing and changing needs of goods movement. Freight miles per capita continue to climb, so we continuously expand and evolve our specialized expertise to meet the growing and changing demands of the goods movement industry. We are on the leading edge of the industry, while at the same time recognizing and customizing solutions to meet the diverse needs of individual communities affected by changing shopping and freight trends. Our freight experts have experience in providing a wide range of freight -related planning and engineering services to freight logistic centers, local communities, freight operators, and government agencies throughout the United States. They are frequently speaking at national conferences, engaging with statewide agencies on guidelines and policy, and sharing knowledge to local cities to improve the entire industry. CORRIDOR STUDIES Long range transportation plans often identify corridor specific needs that should be evaluated at a greater level of detail. We have worked on over 300 corridor studies and plans and are experts in projects that simultaneously address multimodal and transit planning and design, along with safety and community outreach. We have successfully completed numerous corridor projects that have resulted in lane repurposing, curb -space management, and reallocation of available right-of-way to provide enhanced bicycle facilities and/or exclusive transit lanes. At Fehr & Peers we recognize that while not everyone is a transportation expert, residents and leaders are experts in their communities. Our consulting approach focuses on partnering with clients as well as the communities in which we live and work. This ensures tailored, objective solutions in line with local community values and the development and implementation of innovative solutions. Over the past 20 years, we have implemented 10 and 11 foot travel lanes, leading pedestrian intervals, dedicated transit lanes with transit signal priority, pedestrian bulb -outs and bicycle boulevards as solutions identified as part of corridor studies. TRANSIT PLANNING AND ANALYSIS Effective transit planning goes beyond expertise in access to transit alone; we know that understanding the entire multimodal operating environment are as important as transit service quality and coverage. By bringing transit data to life, we complement our underlying knowledge on what makes great transit tick. Using our innovative tools and transit service planning framework, we help our clients craft transit investments and policies that allow communities to thrive and operating agencies to prosper in a dynamically changing world. Successful transit planning and design also relies on strategic responses to markets — both existing and emerging — to effectively anticipate how changing trends, mobility options, and demographics will shape future context. Through our Next Generation Transit practice, our experts are on the cutting edge of integrating new and emerging forms of mobility (such as microtransit) into existing and future transit networks. Fehr & Peers is currently supporting LYNX, the transit service provider in Orange, Seminole and Osceola Counties, to evaluate the use of Automatic Passenger Count (APC) data for National Transit Database (NTD) ridership reporting. Based on available data, there is a discrepancy of about 30 percent between the farebox ridership and the APC ridership numbers and prior to switching to APC data reporting, LYNX staff would like to understand the reasons for the discrepancies. Out transit team is working with the technology vendors to develop a methodology to analyze the divergent data and resolve the farebox and APC ridership numbers. o•11.1.. -mai... • UTA APC System Overview, Source: UTA The Fehr& Peers team can offer a full suite of transit planning services, including service planning, route scheduling, route optimization, ridership forecasts, fare policy analysis, transit reliability assessments, and integration of bicycle facilities into bus stop design. GRANT WRITING AND POLICY ANALYSIS O XGEO Fehr & Peers has extensive experience helping clients obtain over $430 million in funding through a variety of grant programs. We understand what it takes to make a grant application successful - our process usually starts at the planning phase to help client understand what projects within a planning document, such as an active transportation plan, could be competitive candidates for grant funding. Through the course of the planning project, we will often develop the material that will ultimately serve as key data inputs to an application, such as benefit/cost calculations and project cut - sheets that graphically depict the project. As part of supporting MetroPlan Orlando in their Safe Streets for All grant application, partnered with xGeographic, we developed a story map to more fully tell the story of transportation safety in Central Florida.

Land use plans that are not financially feasible will never get constructed, and decision makers should understand who benefits from transportation system investments, how improvements will get financed, and how maintenance will be funded. Our team members combine their economic experience with familiarity of the client, particularly the challenges faced by Forward Pinellas and its 24 municipal partners when it comes to land use coordination and economic decisions. PSG is currently working in Pinellas County — and have done so for many years — helping to determine the answers to questions such as "How can afford -able housing be accommodated?", "Do our land use regulations support our community's vision or do they have unintended consequences?", and "What are the economic implications of policies that are more supportive of redevelopment?" SB Friedman has deep expertise in market and feasibility analysis related to a wide variety of development types, including residential, retail, office, entertainment, mixed-use, industrial, and research and development facilities. Their analyses have been used to inform multimodal corridor studies, site planning, and area master plans, and they have established a reputation for producing ambitious but achievable strategies that are rooted in market reality, financial feasibility and effective implementation. Their place -based strategies are a synthesis of community goals, economic potential, evolving demographic and development trends, physical and market constraints, and proven planning principles. The product of their analysis is a development program that is a forecast of what a developer can realistically build on a site or how a subarea will evolve as individual sites are developed. MARKET STUDIES AND ANALYSIS Market Studies can help guide project development and lead to better planning outcomes. Our Teams approach to market studies includes some of the following key tasks: • Information and feedback from key stakeholders and the public • Demographic profiles which will review estimates of population, households, housing units and key characteristics with a review of available data regarding housing losses and damages in-curred during the recent Hurricane and the extent of recovery efforts completed or underway. • Identifying anchor institutions and businesses. • Preparation of initial housing needs assessments, likely housing needs, including affordable, workforce and market -rate housing. • Commercial market assessment that estimates and projects neighborhood, city and county demand using demographic, employment, and expenditure data. This supply evaluation will consider competitive developments within each city and surrounding communities — both existing and proposed — and how these will impact the city in the future. This economic analysis will also consider key factors such as retail concentrations and anchors, activity generators, complementary uses, quality of place, pedestrian activity levels, programming, branding, access, parking and environmental conditions to identify specific niches. • Recommendations for which development scenarios to prepare and test during the design charrette based on existing opportunity sites and future market demand. VALUE CAPTURE SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS & INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING CI ?GEO • ® • As state and federal shares of funding for transportation/transit projects continue to diminish, there is an increasing need for innovative financing techniques and local revenue sources such as value capture to support transportation and other infrastructure projects. Successful value capture implementation depends on demonstrating the benefit that an infrastructure improvement can provide to a community. SB Friedman brings to our team extensive expertise in developing scenarios to assess the appropriate value capture mechanism(s) and quantify the revenue stream(s) that can generate funding for new infrastructure projects. BASE EAV DEV PMENT Tax Revenue from Increment Revenue to Taxing Districts TOTAL EAV PROPERTY OR FACILITY VALUATION E Understanding the current and projected value of facilities under no project and with project scenarios is a component of understanding the benefits that would accrue to a community under various land use and transportation strategies. Our team members have experience with facility and property valuation in Pinellas County and other locations throughout Florida. FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS CO SB Friedman frequently conducts fiscal impact studies of proposed developments. They develop models that project all revenue sources based on local conditions and insight from comparable local projects. They also project operating and capital costs to local taxing bodies based on a thorough analysis of municipal/county budgets and interviews with municipal/ county staff and. have expertise in both the average cost and marginal cost techniques in estimating the public sector costs resulting from development. Their fiscal impact projections assist government leaders with making decisions regarding the approval of development proposals based on fiscal, economic and policy considerations; future development/land use scenarios that balance policy goals and fiscal considerations; and strategies that can facilitate growth while ensuring long-term fiscal balance. DEVELOPMENT FINANCE & JOINT DEVELOPMENT & FINANCIAL ANALYSIS & FINANCIAL/SCENARIO PLANNING GO From its inception, SB Friedman has advised public sector clients in the evaluation of financial feasibility, structuring of public-private finance partnerships, and the appropriate use of public financial assistance to foster high-quality development. Their financial feasibility analyses help clients test development scenarios and make policy and/or investment decisions. They are noted for our rigorous "but for" or "gap analysis" approach to underwriting and sizing public assistance. Through detailed analyses, they conduct a detailed review of all underlying project assumptions in order to identify the key characteristics that are challenging the financial feasibility of a project. Over the past 12 years, SB Friedman has participated in evaluating and structuring $4.9 billion of public-private financing (including tax credit financing, tax increment financing, property tax abatements, revenue bonds, and gap financing loans) in support of $27.5 billion of projects. Reflecting that role, SB Friedman is registered with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) as a Municipal Advisor. ECONOMIC MODELING 411) While communities have a core responsibility of fiscal stewardship, they also need to balance long-term financial sustainability with other important community needs, such as placemaking, social equity, job creation and inclusive growth. In addition to assessing broader impacts to the local community, our team member SB Friedman has robust experience in projecting the economic impact of projects to the wider county or region. They are experts in using sophisticated input-output models, such as Emsi, IMPLAN and RIMS II, and econometric models, such as REMI, to calculate direct and "multiplier" effects of a transportation improvement, a new development project, a new public policy, or an existing activity/event. Their analysis results highlight economic impacts in terms ofjobs, wages, taxes and total economic activity, allowing decision -makers to understand the value -add of a project. COST -BENEFIT ANALYSIS 00000 SB Friedman conducts financial analyses to evaluate the costs and benefits associated with investment in transportation improvements, enhanced transit services, and other public capital projects. Rather than a holistic account of a project's impact on the locality's budget; we evaluate the capital costs, ongoing maintenance costs, and potential revenues associated with a project to determine if future revenues from the investment can partially or wholly offset the cost of implementation. This assessment also allows us to identify if a financing gap exists and if so, to what extent. Our team also has extensive experience conducting benefit -cost analyses (BCA) as required by transportation grants funded by the State or U.S. Department of Transportation. A BCA provides estimates of the anticipated benefits that are expected to accrue from a project over a specified period and compares them to the anticipated costs of the project. Using model outputs provided by planning and engineering partners, we quantify the economic value associated with travel time savings, operating cost savings, safety benefits and emissions reduction benefits. Our team is familiar with the standard methodological approaches to completing these analyses based on federal BCA guidance. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL PROJECT PLANNING • SB Friedman brings to the team experience in working with public agencies to identify, size, secure and monetize sources of funds to support key capital projects. Sources of funds we have worked with include federal grants, incremental property taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, and others. LAND ASSEMBLY PLANNING 0® Sometimes public sector clients consider acquiring land and very occasionally they go so far as to close on land for economic development reasons. SB Friedman has helped them consider the pros and cons of such decisions. This work is often done in concert with a wide range of other professionals including legal counsel. Their role can vary widely depending on the facts of the situation and the capacities of our client and their professional advisors. Other members of the team have supported these efforts by helping to identify parcels critical to meet overall project goals. BEST PRACTICES AND CASE STUDIES 00 0 Our team members are leaders in their field and through direct project experience and case study research, enjoy constantly learning and using that knowledge to help our projects advance the leading edge of complex planning and development issues. SB Friedman has published resource guides related to Business Districts, Tax Increment Financing, and several other topics and they are routinely published in industry newsletters and magazines. SB Friedman staff published The Nexus Between Land Use and Fiscal Balance, APA Zoning Practice January 2019 that explains the key factors that determine the fiscal impact of different land uses and development patterns and makes a case for a more holistic approach to planning and zoning for fiscal balance. WEBSITE DESIGN, MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT ®®X`° ®®®® G Fehr & Peers is well-known for our expertise in transportation planning and engineering, and we have enhanced that reputation by integrating strategic communications, graphic design, and visual communications. Our visual communicators "speak transportation," and we can more effectively convert data and results to visual concepts to share with stakeholders. Over the last 20 years, we have developed a visual communications design studio that collaborates across offices on all aspects of successful message design — including a team of 20 graphic designers, public relations/outreach specialists, GIS professionals, and creative strategists. Our visual communications studio experts use the latest visual simulation tools in the industry to produce photo simulations, animated 3D models, data -driven 3D models, and more. The Fehr & Peers Team can provide varying levels of support to Forward Pinellas with Website Design, Maintenance, and General Communications through a customized approach to meet specific needs and goals. Our team is prepared to offer this support as a standalone service or thought other work on specific task work orders that might require a project specific website, public outreach, graphic development, or translation services. For standalone and project specific support, Senior Communications and Valerin are available. For tasks that might occur on a specific project, many of our team members are equipped to lead or support, depending on the project requirements. WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT AND TROUBLESHOOTING ®XGEC 0®0 Our team can support updates to the primary Forward Pinellas website, ForwardPinellas.org, as well as develop standalone or integrated project websites, building on existing the Forward Pinellas Structure. Our team has experience building new websites and updating existing sites. SITE HOSTING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS As part of the Fehr & Peer's Team Senior Communications will serve as leaders of a website hosting analysis to explore alternatives based on budget and needs of the county and its users. Other team members also have experience with web hosting services, as well as developing standalone websites and then integrating them with the agency site. INTRANET MAINTENANCE VAL Ensuring that internal audiences are kept informed is key to any strategic communications effort. The intranet serves as a central point of information for most organizations. Fehr & Peers recently migrated our own internal intranet site and our IT team can provide experience related to maintenance and upgrades. WORDPRESS PATCHES AND UPGRADES The Fehr & Peer's team will manage Word Press patches and upgrades to ensure the site remains updated and adheres to the county's user experience standards and meets 508 compliance standards for screenreaders. SOCIAL MEDIA Forward Pinellas has an established distinctive and cohesive visual brand on its website and social media platforms. Our team will collaborate with Communications and Outreach Director, Dana Santos, to create and share engaging and informative social media content, including custom graphics, Reels and Stories to meet the reach and engagement goals. General management, caption writing, content planning and scheduling, and audience engagement would also be included in our approach to social media support for Forward Pinellas. COLLATERAL/DOCUMENT/GRAPHICS DEVELOPMENT ®4110 la CD I The Fehr & Peers Team has extensive Adobe Suite and Canva experience, which will be used to support the design and development of public outreach collateral, documents and graphics in alignment with Forward Pinellas' established brand identity, and the brand that might be developed for high-profile regional projects. In addition to the visual development, the team's overall foundational expertise — messaging and writing —will serve as key assets for collateral development. SPANISH LANGUAGE TRANSLATION ® ® IKSK 40 VAL The Fehr & Peers Team can offer written document translation services into a variety of languages, including Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Portuguese, French and many others. We are also able to offer in-person public meeting translation services in Spanish. On any project where translation services are required, our goal is to make the non-English material as accessible as the English material to reduce barriers to participation. 1kM& Stride 2050 ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN MetroPlan Orlando Active Transportation Plan Thank you for your interest and participation in the Active Transportation Plan.

URBAN DESIGN ®0 CEO 0 SK We have included two award winning Urban Design firms on our team to lead the Urban Design tasks that could arise from this contract, DKP and MKSK. Together with other team members, we can develop create functional and aesthetic urban environments that help Forward Pinellas achieve goals related to the creation of 20 -minute neighborhoods, multimodal street networks, economic growth, sustainability, resiliency, and open space. Our team follows this general approach to Urban Design: • Research and Analysis: Gathering information about the site and its surroundings, including topography, existing infrastructure, demographics, cultural and historical context, environmental factors, and zoning regulations. The data collected helps the team understand the site's potential and constraints. Public feedback and stakeholder involvement starts during this phase and is woven into the subsequent steps such that at the end of the process, community feedback has been incorporated and the project has political and agency staff support. • Site Planning: Developing a comprehensive plan for the site based on the research and analysis. The plan considers many factors including circulation, land use, economic feasibility, open space, building placement, and sustainability. • Conceptual Design: Creating a preliminary design translates the site plan into a visual representation. The design includes sketches, diagrams, and renderings that illustrate the project's vision and goals. • Master Plan Documentation: Documenting the process to arrive at a preferred alternative, including the various analysis and data that helped inform plan development. An implementation plan is incorporated to guide how and where development should occur over the planning horizon, including identification of roles, responsibilities, potential funding sources, estimated timelines, and budgets for key projects and strategies identified in the master plan. Recommendations and direction for amendments/revisions to existing land development regulations, and other planning related documents, that enforce and support the Vision Plan and goals will be included. Our team has extensive experience with the Charrette Process, to help inform critical decision points in plan development, build consensus, and obtain critical feedback from the community and stakeholders. SITE AND AREA MASTER PLANS 0000® MKSK and DKP have experience leading 100s of site and area master plans, working with a wide range of teaming partners, including economists, transportation planners, and engineers. While the scope to each project is carefully crafted based on the specific goals of the project and the character of the area, the process generally follows what is outlined above. CORRIDOR AND STREETSCAPE DESIGN 000. A key component of a complete street study is the streetscape design element. Incorporating the needed streetscape elements from the beginning ensures that there is an appropriate balance between the vehicular travelway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, landscaping, and other street furniture elements. Different streetscape elements need different amounts of right-of-way given the context of the roadway and the goals of the project. Our team brings extensive experience helping communities weight the competing demands along the corridor and then develop compelling renderings to help visualize the possibilities. Our teams landscape architects can also help identify plant palettes that are appropriate for the client as well as the irrigation and maintenance requirements. VISUALIZATION/ILLUSTRATIONS The preparation of illustrative plans and visualizations visually depicts long-term goals for the community such as design of streets, buildings, and public spaces. Renderings created using both digital and hand -drawn techniques can be used to explore design concepts. The visualizations will demonstrate the possibilities for future improvements, allowing community members to evaluate the proposed "change -over -time" and provide quality feedback. GATEWAY, WAYFINDING AND SIGNAGE PLANS 00 ADO Our team is able to lead the development of wayfinding and signage plans — from regional active transportation wayfinding to neighborhood scale plans, we understand the various components of effective wayfinding, and strategies to incorporate wayfinding by design, such as through pavement treatments, plant palettes and building orientation. PARKING ALTERNATIVES MIDXGE6 Mandatory minimum parking requirements have resulted in urban designs centered around the automobile for the last 50 years and have led to the land use forms that are seen in many parts of Pinellas County. Parking fields that separate the street from building entrances can create environments that are inhospitable to walking, bicycling and transit modes, and increase the amount of impervious surface within a community. Urban Design and development strategies that carefully consider the amount of parking that should be provided within a development can result in more economically viable development projects, can incentivize people to walk, bike, and take transit, and can reduce impervious surfaces. Our team has experience developing parking code requirements that better reflect the changing nature of our cities but reflect the reality that some people will continue to drive. Through our experience preparing shared parking analyses, transportation demand management plans, curbspace management plans, and understanding the evolving nature of our transportation system, Fehr& Peers can help craft parking strategies that help projects achieve other goals related to land use, density, economics, sustainability, and walkability. OPEN SPACE AND PUBLIC REALM 0000® Each development site has its own unique natural, cultural and historic resources that should be preserved and amplified to create unique spaces. MKSK has extensive experience qualifying, managing, and integrating artists' work into projects, from pocket parks and gateways to streetscapes and the public realm. Depending upon the scope and nature of the project, they have worked with graphic designers, sculptors, artists, and in-house designers to integrate art, graphics, and sculpture into the public spaces they plan and design. LAND USE AND REDEVELOPMENT 000040 'lRSK00 Fehr& Peers and team approaches land use and redevelopment with a focus on transportation infrastructure and mobility. DKP will utilize GIS and Urban Footprint to analyze the urban form of the sites and surroundings. Their analysis will include the street and block network, building to street relationships, existing streetscape design characteristics, existing zoning and land use regulations, existing ownership patterns topography, soils, property lines, utilities, easements, and other relevant information. In accordance with MKSK's philosophy, "development is often seen as happening to a place," but it doesn't need to be this way. Their methodology developed over decades of working in downtowns, neighborhoods, and redevelopment sites across the country allows them to work with clients and stakeholders to shape development so that it happens with you and not to you. A creative response is required to remove unintentional barriers and enable exceptional growth. It begins with thoroughly understanding people and place, listening and learning, becoming empathetic to a place's social and cultural fabric, and creating meaningful dialogue that taps into the community's knowledge base. COMPREHENSIVE, ACTIVITY CENTER, AND MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR PLANS ®0•••®E® We work with communities to develop comprehensive plans that integrate land use and transportation to support sustainable growth and development. Our plans often include activity centers and multimodal corridors that prioritize pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access. LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES (TRADITIONAL) ®®®• The Fehr& Peer's team provides guidance and technical support for the development and implementation of traditional land development codes that balance transportation and land use considerations. FORM -BASED CODES O. O. Our team also offer expertise in form -based codes, which prioritize the physical form and design of development over land use. This approach supports walkable, transit -friendly, and mixed- use neighborhoods. GOLF COURSE REDEVELOPMENT 0000 Our team can work with communities and developers to redevelop underutilized golf courses into vibrant mixed-use developments that support sustainable transportation and land use practices. However, we also understand that many residents are not supportive of golf course redevelopment within their community as it is perceived to eliminate open space and would bring higher levels of traffic to an area. Our approach to golf course redevelopment helps decision makers and the community understand the various options for underperforming golf courses from a land use, transportation, environmental and fiscal perspective, such that informed decisions can be made by the community. STATION AREA PLANS/TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PLANS, CODES, AND STANDARDS We specialize in station area planning and transit -oriented development (TOD) planning, which focus on creating vibrant and walkable neighborhoods around transit stations. Our approach includes developing TOD plans, codes, and standards that support sustainable transportation and [and use practices. Fehr & Peers also has extensive experience forecasting potential increases in transit system ridership that could occur with [and use development and transportation system enhancements around station areas. SCENARIO PLANNING fleet CO With the support from our project team, we will use scenario planning to help communities explore different development and transportation options and their potential impacts. This approach supports informed decision-making and community engagement. Fehr& Peers has developed several quick response transportation planning tools that allow us to understand high- level transportation metrics, such as trip generation by mode and vehicle miles of travel, to help inform the overall plan direction. With the support from our project team, we will use scenario planning to help communities explore different development and transportation options and their potential impacts. This approach supports informed decision-making and community engagement. GROWTH MANAGEMENT, COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING, AND VISIONING ®. 000000 G We work with communities to develop growth management strategies, comprehensive plans, and visioning processes that support sustainable transportation and land use practices. Our approach involves engaging stakeholders and using data -driven analysis to inform planning decisions. CLIMATE RESILIENCE ® x °WO G Fehr & Peers is at the forefront of efforts to address the effects climate change on land use and transportation systems, as well as how the operation of our transportation system effects climate change. Looking at both shocks to the system, an acute event that immediately threatens a community, such as a hurricane, and stressor, a continuous or re -occurring issue that impacts a community on a longer-term basis, such as sea -level rise that leads to sunny day flooding, we help communities understand their near-term and long term vulnerabilities. Our approach includes listening and understanding, as well as data driven analytics. We then identify transportation -related climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience strategies that are customized to community needs and goals. This may include planning for and complying with new legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), electrify transit fleets, reducing vehicle travel and enhancing travel efficiency, improving access to sustainable transportation options, responding to locally - specific climate and disaster risks, or bridging the divide between sustainability efforts, transportation planning, and engineering. We find many communities grappling with the environmental consequences of past choices and honor the need to understand each community's history as we seek to repair broken systems and envision a future that includes a changing climate. Accordingly, we work to co -create community -driven solutions that respond to predicted climate impacts in diverse contexts and embed long-term strategies that build resilience into existing processes, such as asset management plans, state of good repair plans, evacuation plans, and hazard mitigation plans. Our team members Integral, DK&P, and xGeographic will lead and support the various Climate Resilience tasks. Integral has expertise in developing hazard models, conducting vulnerability and risk assessments, and providing adaptation planning solutions. DK&P uses online tools to assess environmental concerns, such as GHG emissions, and provides mapping and data related to watershed conditions. xGeographic's Aqua GIS program can be used to measure and assess the impacts of natural hazards on coastal communities. Aqua assesses the modeled impacts of sea level rise, storm surge, and flooding on numerous community features, and bundles these analytics into tailored reports for coastal communities to understand who will be affected by various shocks and stressors to the transportation system such that appropriate adaptation strategies can be developed. To demonstrate our teams experience with climate resilience projects, it is important to understand the key data inputs that would be required to assess various hazards, vulnerability, adaptation needs, evacuation routes and the critical pieces of infrastructure thatshouId be prioritized for storm hardening. Many of the data sources noted below are available from the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOM), University of Florida GeoPlan Center, US Army Corp of Engineers, Florida Department of Transportation RCI files, FEMA, Pinellas County and local jurisdictions. Our team knows what data is publicly available and the benefits and [imitations of various datasets when there are multiple options available, such as Storm Surge and Sea Level Rise data. Our team can help Forward Pinellas and others understand the best data set based on the project goals and our experience with other projects within Pinellas County. The following are typical data inputs to a Climate Assessment, which we would combine in a GIS database and potentially online interactive maps for project team and public use: • Storm Surge • Sea Level Rise • Transportation Network Attributes • Flood Zone • Nuisance Flooding • Parcel Data, Including Cross -Referenced Data • Critical Facility Data; facility types would include shelters, lift stations, wastewater treatment facilities, airports, schools, fire stations, police offices, hospitals, and others as defined by the state, the county, and by F.S. 380.093. • Critical Needs Data As part of resiliency projects, data would be mapped in numerous ways, and would include storm surge (by category), sea level rise (by projection curve and time horizon), and flooding extents (with depths). The critical facility, critical needs, and parcel datasets would be used to measure sensitivity to the different hazard sites. Each critical facility and critical need type would then be summarized by number of facilities impacted (by specific hazard types) and maps would be provided showing the critical facilities and critical needs alongside the hazard zone being analyzed. Social vulnerability would be calculated using parcel data adjoined with U.S. Census data, future land use data, zoning data, and other demographics -linked datasets maintained by the federal government such as transportation disadvantaged areas and opportunity zones. This would allow for very detailed risk outputs outlining the population at risk to each of the hazards included in the report. HAZARD MITIGATION The various climate datasets would be used to identify critical infrastructure that could be impacted by shocks and stressors, such that countermeasures, such as green infrastructure, increase retention pond storage or raising the roadway can be identified. DISASTER RECOVERY CEO • Knowing what portions of the community are most likely to experience damage during a shock or stressor event can help map out appropriate disaster recover scenarios. There are multiple phases to Disaster Recovery, and the best approach considers the various phases from search and rescue to critical infrastructure repair to damage assessments to prioritization for immediate reconstruction to prioritized plans for long-term recovery. Integral has experience in all phases of disaster recovery especially in providing expert advice to responders and planners, as they did for FEMA following Hurricane Sandy in NY. VULNERABILITY AND RISK ASSESSMENTS ® xGV Resiliency analytical reports would summarize the planning process and the analyses of each of the hazards included in the report(s) provided. Each hazard vulnerability analysis could include the following analyses for the specific geography covered. • Population Impact • Land Use Impact • Aged Structure Impact • Demographic Sensitivity Impact • Land/ Building Value Impact • Critical Facility Impact • Critical Needs Impact • Transportation Facility Impact In addition to the hazard -based analysis, F.S. 380.093 would be followed to fulfill all state requirements if the County is working on a state -mandated plan required for resiliency funding. Integral brings over 25 years of experience in VRAs. ADAPTATION PLANNING, RESILIENT DESIGN/ CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION, GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING, PRE -DISASTER MITIGATION Adaptation planning, resilient design, critical infrastructure protection, green infrastructure planning and pre -disaster mitigation starts after fully understanding the vulnerabilities and risks of a particular location or structure, at present and into the future. A variety of strategies are considered and these may include projects in the categories of protection and accommodation. However, changes to existing policy may also need to be considered. Integral brings a portfolio of adaptation solutions including gray (concrete) through green options, with a strong preference for natural or nature -based approaches, which have been demonstrated to improve resilience as well as protect infrastructure by working with nature rather than against it. They also consider Pre -Disaster Mitigation in the formulation of our adaptation planning and can deliver both long-term adaptation solutions that focus on climate change -related hazards, as well as near-term solutions to mitigate acute events. Our teams approach is to identify a range of potential adaptation solutions and rank them fora given locale based on feasibility, cost/benefits, and effectiveness over time. Our well -formulated adaptation plans identify feasible strategies to address the causative hazards and that can be implemented overtime. The implementation of these strategies is tied to triggers — easily defined metric -that flag when a change from one adaptation strategy to another will be required. Along with important community feed back the preferred approaches can be woven together into long-term adaptation pathway timelines, that incorporate enough lead time to implement the next strategy to avoid the damage thresholds identified in the VRA. POST DISASTER HOUSING PLAN GEO Our team members can support the development of a post disaster housing plan by identifying what housing resources are most vulnerable and using regional land use information to identify potential locations for longer-term temporary housing. HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTE CAPACITY ANALYSIS • GEO Fehr& Peers has developed a GIS based tool to support evaluation analysis at a neighborhood scale that can quickly identify if certain population groups do not have reasonable access to evacuation shelters. For evacuation events that require a larger scale evacuation, we have incorporated dynamic traffic assignment that allows for testing of when different zones should be issued an evacuation order based on the capacity of the available routes; this analysis can also identify under current evacuation planning protocols what routes do not have sufficient capacity. We also have access to connected vehicle data and location -based services data from prior evacuation events to identify system bottlenecks and develop strategies to reduce the effects of those system bottlenecks. .14.40.411 HURRICANE SHELTER SPACE CAPACITY ANALYSIS AND IMPACT FEE DEVELOPMENT Building on the evacuation route analysis and estimates of what percent of evacuees under different scenarios would choose to use a local evacuation scenario, we can estimate demand ranges as compared to the capacity and identify if additional shelter capacity might be needed. The evacuation route analysis and underlying demographic information can be used to identify general locations where new shelter space should be identified. Our team brings experience in impact fee preparation to Pinellas County. GRAPHIC DESIGN AND RENDERINGS ®® XEO ®®00 Over the last 20 years, Fehr & Peers has developed a visual communications design studio that collaborates across offices on all aspects of successful message design — including a team of 15 graphic designers, public relations/outreach specialists, GIS professionals, and creative strategists. Our visual communications studio experts use the latest visual simulation tools in the industry to produce photo simulations, animated 3D models, data -driven 3D models, and more. The Fehr & Peers Team approach to Graphic Design and Renderings is centered around creating clear, visually compelling, and informative materials that support our clients' communication goals and are accessible, meeting 508 Compliance requirements.. GRAPHIC DESIGN AND VISUALIZATION • • XCEOiliut 0 0 0 Our team has many talented members who specialize in graphic design and visualization for transportation -related projects, including creating maps, charts, diagrams, and infographics. Our team works closely with our transportation planners and engineers to ensure that our visuals accurately represent the technical aspects of the project while also effectively communicating the key messages to our clients and stakeholders. WRITING, EDITING, AND DIGITAL PUBLICATION It is important that public facing deliverables be written in plain language, free from technical jargon. With an understanding the goals of the project and the audience, we are able to craft highly technical documents for internal project team review and translate those materials into a digestible content for the general public that clearly articulates project goals, analysis procedures, and key findings. Our team can also offer technical writing and editing services for various types of transportation and land use - related documents, including project reports, plans, and studies. DIGITAL AND THEMATIC STORYTELLING 0 0 fib ti We use digital and thematic storytelling techniques to communicate complex transportation -related concepts and data in a clear and engaging way. This approach includes creating interactive maps and visualizations, developing multimedia content, and using animation and video to explain technical concepts. For many projects, we have moved to on-line deliverables using ArcGIS StoryMaps, videos, and digital reports. These deliverable formats recognize that providing information through a variety of media can help reach larger audiences. The following link will take you to a video we prepared explaining the concept of travel access: https://www.fehrandpeers.com/travel- arcess-as-a-key-to-equitable-planning/ 3D MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION WITH GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS • • • MKSK • Our team has experience in developing 3D models of transportation and land use projects and integrating them with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create realistic and informative visualizations. We use these models to help clients and stakeholders better understand the spatial relationships and impacts of transportation projects. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS ®® X ®® MKSCOK CEO Fehr& Peers has enhanced our transportation planning and engineering reputation by integrating a comprehensive GIS framework to those services. Through our investments in data management, training, hardware and software, we can effectively conduct analysis and convert data and results to visual concepts. As recognition of our overall expertise in GIS, Fehr & Peers formed a collaborative partnership with Esri, the GIS software giant. Fehr& Peers has shown that it has existing users with in-depth knowledge of GIS, a solid commitment to support the GIS community, a substantial business strategy supported by a proven track record of end user success, and that we ensure our clients' success by providing initial and ongoing GIS guidance and long-term support. For our work on Safe Streets Pinellas, Fehr & Peers was selected as a winner of the 2021 Esri IMGIS Conference Partner Awards under the category of Innovative Analytics for our work on preparing the high injury network that effectively used data to identify the most dangerous roadways in the County, with a focus on vulnerable roadway users. Our team members add extensive depth and breadth to our GIS analytic capabilities to conduct transportation, land use, and economic analyses, including experience usingArcGIS Urban and CUBE Access. GEOSPATIAL DATASET DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS • • XCEO• MKSK • Forward Pinellas and ts partner agencies maintain a library of data that is used the transportation and land use planning process, including land use, demographics, and transportation system information. Our team is adept at taking new information and incorporating it into existing databases to enhance the planning process. For example, the analysis for the Safe Streets Pinellas project overlaid the high injury network with a variety of data, including the location of disadvantaged communities, transit ridership, and sensitive land uses to help identify priority corridors for safety improvements. Fehr& Peers and XGeographic are currently working on the MetroPlan Orlando Active Transportation Plan, conducting Level of Traffic Stress and Pedestrian Level of Comfort Analysis, as well as accessibility analysis to identify communities in the region who have low levels of access to key destinations including schools, parks, jobs, transit, and shopping via a low stress walking and bicycling route. This analysis will be used to identify communities where lower stress walking and bicycling facilities should be prioritized, with the prioritization process considering transportation disadvantaged demographic factors. GEOSPATIAL INDEX DEVELOPMENT Static maps may be appropriate for a final deliverable, but they do not let the project team, stakeholder group, or others dig into the underlying data and understand the key inputs into the analysis for a transparent process. To enhance client collaboration, we routinely delivery our work through a webmap that includes the underlying data used in the analysis. Our team also has experience of generating new data sets that can be incorporated into existing Geospatial databases. An example is through our use of Big Data, which can include location -based service (from cell phones) and connected vehicle data, to identify origin -destination patterns, travel time, travel speed and a host of other information that can be used to make better planning decisions. Our team also brings experience developing land use and demographic data that can be used in the travel demand modeling process. MAP DEVELOPMENT lb 0 Maps can be a highly effective tool to spatially display information and key concepts. Understanding the intended audience, purpose, and overall goals, helps our team craft maps that convey meaningful information to the end user. 3D MAPPING AND ANALYSIS 4111) X.: EO DKP MKSK Similar to preparing 3D renderings of Streetscapes and Land Use plans that help people understand changes to the built environment, our team also has experience in the 3D mapping of analysis results to create more visual interest and understanding with the data. The image below visually shows the peak parking characteristics at Yellowstone Nation Park to help the project team understand the location of parking deficiencies and how to better manage the overall parking supply through wayfinding and other strategies. =Mt 111111111111111 RFP # 23-0365 - RFP RFP Title Planning Support Services Page 3 of 28 CONTRACTOR MUST COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING CONTRACTORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE POLICY OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, PINELLAS COUNTY, IS TO ACCEPT THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE SUBMITTAL RECEIVED MEETING SPECIFICATIONS.

The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one FORWARD PINELLAS STANDARD CONSULTANT AGREEMENT Revised 7/2023 Page 17 of 20 person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate. 5.

Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity submitting this swom statement. (Please indicate which statement applies). X Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime within the past 36 months. The entity submitting this swom statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime within the past 36 months.

However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officers of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order by the Hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this swom statement on the convicted vendor list. (Attached is a copy of the final order).
