This meeting will discuss the scope of the study and refine the aspects of all work and deliverables to be produced for the project. Obtain and review all applicable documentation, including the recently completed plan for the Central Business District/Waterfront area. We are assuming that in cooperation with the City, they will produce all existing available information, and make this information available to the consultant. Obtain and review available traffic count and parking inventory and use data from all other sources; e.g., FDOT, Palm Beach County, local data available from municipal and private sources. We will utilize the existing Year 2020 West Palm Beach Urban Study Area Long-Range Transportation Plan Update, for traffic projection information. 4. Determine what supplemental parking, traffic count and other data needs to be collected for the project. This level of effort will be kept.to a minimum number of count locations, which will be sufficient for successful completion of the project, and reviewed with the City staff at the initial scoping meeting. - ¢ 5. Secure all appropriate existing and fut/tre land use data for the study area,'as available from the CITY. We will field review the study ~ea and conduct windshield surveys', as required, of the adjacent roads and intersections, noting pertinent physical features, on- and off-street parking facilities, and traffic control devices. We will evaluate both on- and off-street parking to include a Friday and Saturday evening, and a mid-week evening, from 6:00 PM to midnight. This level of effort will supplement the windshield survey. We will observe current traffic operations during peak time periods, to identify key issues including: · Major vehicular and pedestrian conflicts · Traffic approach and departure patterns · Utilization of both on and off-street parking facilities · Auto occupancy, as required 7. Establish a zone system for analysis of existing and future parking demand. Task 2 - Parking Analysis We will establish the parking utilization characteristics from the foregoing data collection. Summary information will be provided by facility in tabular and graphic form which will indicate the capacity of the respective facilities surveyed and the accumulation of parking by hour. Accordingly, a shared parking demand analysis will be prepared using procedures contained in the Urban Land Institute Publication "Shared Parking." Parking demand estimates on a daily and hourly basis shall be developed on a zone-by-zone basis. 3. We will prepare shared parking accumulation curves representative of future demands for the respective zones or groups of zones. CONSULTANT AGREEMENT Page 10 We will determine the potential reduction in required new parking spaces due to excess capacity ~ associated with existing facilities. Other aspects to be considered, include location and configuration i of existing parking, proximity to and availability of public transportation, local shuttles, and other strategies. ~ We will evaluate the need for additional on- and off-street parking by area. We Will also establish a range of off-street parking needs based on up to three future development options for the study area. In cooperation with the City, we will establish the potential need for and location of a parking garage, or garages. We will also consider conceptual design elements, including location, configuration, parking layout, internal vehicle circulation, pedestrian circulation, garage ingress and egress, and parking control equipment, or procedures. This effort will involve conceptual depiction of parking structures noting approximate configurations utilizing available information from ITE publications and other industry sources. 7. We will prepare a program of recommendations based on the foregoing analysis steps. The program will include alternative strategies for consideration by the City. Task 3 - Costs/Implementation 1. We will prepare order of magnitude (i.e., planning level) costs for the recommended program, including, as appropriate, alternative strategies included in the recommended plan. 2. We will identify potential funding sources and provide a proforma revenue/cost analysis. This level of work will produce a "break-even" analysis based upon the estimated demands for use generated by the parking facility. This will establish the.approximate parking rate schedule necessary to operate a ati "break-even" oper on. 3. We will prepare an implementation plan including time schedule, based on the foregoing recommendation program. Task 4 - Reports, Meetings and Presentation 1. We will prepare a suitably illustrated draft report for review and comment by the City. The report will contain the information collected and the parking analysis. Appropriate graphics will be included in the report, which were utihzed to illustrate the findings from the analysis. Also, each meeting will be documented and included in the report to support the consensus for the plan. We will provide 15 copies of this draft report. 2.

Each meeting will be documented and included in the report. 3. A final report will be submitted to the City incorporating all of the comments received to date. This report will be utilized for the programmed public meetings. 4. The final report will be formally presented at one City Planning and Zoning Board and one City Commission meeting, or alternatively, at two City Commission meetings. 5.
