INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Hari Ponnekanti, Public Works Director/City Engineer
BY: Cyndy Knighton, Senior Program Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: April 15, 2022
SUBJECT: Transportation Element to the Comprehensive Plan Update
Project No. 82010405
Consultant Agreement
ISSUE
Execute an agreement with Fehr & Peers to provide transportation modeling services in conjunction with the 2024 update to the
Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
BACKGROUND
Since 2005, the City has used Fehr & Peers to maintain the City's transportation model and develop the Background Report to the
Transportation Element. It is now time to begin work toward the next update to the Transportation Element, which must be in place by June
2024. In 2020, a new Concurrency Test Fee schedule was implemented, updating the fee schedule that hadn't been increased since
inception. The Concurrency Test Fee is intended to be a funding source for the routine updates to the Transportation Element, including
traffic data collection and Concurrency Reports done as needed in between the major Update efforts. 09
DISCUSSION
Fehr & Peers has worked closely with City staff since 2002 in developing the original model, as well as maintaining it on an annual basis.
This familiarity ensures a seamless update to the Transportation Element. In 2010, Tukwila, along with Fehr & Peers, was one of the first
jurisdictions in the country to try a recently published Multi -Modal Level of Service (MMLOS) methodology in the Highway Capacity Manual
(HCM). That effort had ARRA funding provided by the Federal government as a stimulus during the Great Recession. Staff found that at
least for Tukwila, the HCM methodology did not work and not MMLOS standard was adopted. Since that time, MMLOS methodologies have
matured, and staff expects to be able to apply one to Tukwila's system and begin implementation. Updating the work done in the Walk and
Roll Plan and the Transit Network plan will also be completed. A review of Tukwila's impact fee program to include MMLOS projects and any
other necessary changes, as well as a new look at the current fiscal climate, will also be done. Additionally, Fehr & Peers will help staff
develop a Road Safety Plan which will open up new grant sources for project implementation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 2021 budget has $400,000 for this work. The 2020 budget of $200,000 was not rolled over into 2022 as the contract was not in place
before the end of last year. Additional funding may still be required to complete all the work that is scoped out in the attached contract, but
the tasks that are able to be completed in 2022 total $396,993.43. Allowing the project to begin now with the available funding will provide
opportunities to re-evaluate scope and budget needs for the remaining tasks and could reduce the overall scope and budget needs through
efficiencies or changes of direction as the work progresses. Staff is currently analyzing budget availability that may come up in 2022 that
could be allocated to the remaining work but ultimately the Council will be asked to provide the remaining budget in the 2023-2024 budget
process starting later this year.

Exhibit A
FEHR' PEERS
City of Tukwila Transportation Element Update
Fehr & Peers Scope of Work - March 15, 2022
This scope is divided into two sections to identify the year in which tasks are expected to be completed. The
first section identifies tasks that can be achieved in the current calendar year, 2022. The second section
details optional tasks which may likely be completed in 2023, pending refinement and authorization from
City staff. This will allow the project team to right -size tasks based on findings from the public outreach
process, existing conditions analysis, and the development of goals and performance metrics.
Task IA - Project Management
The objective of this task is to ensure effective and efficient communication between the Consultant team
and the City project team to anticipate and resolve problems and assure the project deliverables meet the
City's expectations. We will be responsible for proactively managing the tasks and providing all services and
work needed to complete the project. We will communicate with the City if there is a potential impact to
the schedule due to outstanding data needs or decisions made by City Staff.
1.1 Kick -Off Meeting
Fehr & Peers will attend a Project Kick -Off meeting with the project team to review and approve the
allocation of project responsibilities, discuss project goals, objectives, schedule and risks; and strategize
effective ways to engage and involve the community and stakeholders. Up to three (3) Consultant team
members will attend the Project Kick -Off meeting.
Deliverables:
• Meeting agenda and notes recapping action items and next steps.
1.2 Project Management and Communication

Task 2 — Transportation Goals and Policy Review
Over the years, the City has undertaken a number of efforts related to transportation planning. The purpose
of this task is to identify a single, unified set of transportation priorities that advance the City's overall vision
for transportation. It is assumed that these goals will set the framework for updates to the City's
transportation policies, including level of service and administrative policies. Once we have defined Tukwila's
vision for mobility, we will work with the City to define what transportation success looks like and how to
measure it.
2.1 Transportation Goals Workshop
Fehr & Peers staff will lead a two-hour workshop with Tukwila staff (representing various departments such
as Public Works, Community Development, Parks & Recreation, Finance, and key elected officials) to identify
4-6 priorities. Fehr & Peers will strategize with City staff on best framing for the conversation to ensure a
productive workshop. We anticipate that this task would occur concurrently with Task 3, leveraging existing
conditions data to help inform the identification of transportation priorities and development of goals.
Fehr & Peers will produce a summary of the workshop for the project record, identifying apparent
transportation concerns, issues, and priorities to help guide the balance of the project. The City will review
the summary and provide one round of comments and recommendations.
Deliverables:
• Workshop materials including the meeting agenda, PowerPoint slides, and meeting notes.
2.2 Develop Goals
Based on the outcomes from the workshop, Fehr & Peers will develop proposed language for
Transportation Element goals. We will develop a brief memorandum, which summarizes the goals and how
they relate to the Comprehensive Plan. The City will review the memorandum and provide one round of
comments and recommendations.
Deliverables:
• Brief memorandum summarizing proposed goals for mobility in Tukwila.
2.3 Transportation Element Policy Review
Fehr & Peers and City staff will review the existing transportation policies in the Transportation Element.
Fehr & Peers will offer its comments on the existing transportation policies. We will work with City staff to
revise the existing transportation policies and propose new policies.

Task 3 - Assess Trends and Conditions
This task establishes this baseline understanding of existing conditions in Tukwila.
3.1 Review Existing Plans and Related Documents
The objective of this task is to review existing documents that are related to or help inform development of
the Transportation Element. As part of this review, we will document projects that are currently planned in
previously adopted plans and may be incorporated in the draft project list for prioritization. The project list
will be sorted by source and include a brief project description, and cost information as available. The list
includes:
• City of Tukwila Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element (2015)
• Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2021-2026
• Traffic Impact Fee Rate Study
• Tukwila Transit Plan Update (2016)
• City of Tukwila's Non -Motorized Walk and Roll Plan (2009)
• Ryan Hill Neighborhood Study (2018)
• Southcenter Subarea Plan and Design Manual (2014)
• METRO CONNECTS Long Range Transit Plan from King County Metro (2017)
• STRIDE BRT S2 Line from Sound Transit (2021)
• Vision 2050
• King County Countywide Planning Policies
The City and the Fehr & Peers will work together to identify the planned transportation facility
improvements by Tukwila, and other agencies including Renton, SeaTac, Burien, Kent, and WSDOT on 1-5,
1-405, and SR 518.
Deliverable:
• Spreadsheet of projects that are currently planned as part of previously adopted plans that may be
incorporated in the draft project list.
3.2 Data Collection
Fehr & Peers will work with the City to review available data. The City will be responsible for providing data,
such as:
• Number of vehicular travel lanes
• Posted Speed Limits
• Intersection Controls
• Marked Crosswalk locations
• Roadway Classification
• Freight Roadway Classification
• Planned Bicycle Facilities
• Existing Bicycle Facilities
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 4 of 22
• Sidewalk Gaps
• Existing Sidewalks
• Freight Volume
• Planned Roadway Facilities
• Transit Routes
• Transit Stops
• Land Use maps
In addition to data listed above, we will download collision data from WSDOT's online portal for the most
recently available five-year dataset. We will review vehicle -vehicle, vehicle -pedestrian, and vehicle -bicycle
collisions, which will be analyzed as part of Task 3.4. Safety data will highlight killed and severely injured
(KSI) collisions.
Fehr & Peers will assist Tukwila staff in identifying locations where traffic counts should be collected or
downloaded from historic databases.
If not included in the City's recent 24-hour tube counts, Fehr & Peers will also collect current or historic
vehicle classification counts in the corridors where heavy truck movements have been observed as a part of
the daily tube counting. The City will provide the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) daily tube counts and any
other recent counts that have been collected regularly. The Consultant will factor the counts to match 2019
conditions.
3.3 Existing Auto Operations Assessment
Fehr & Peers will create an existing (year 2019) PM peak hour operations model with up to 60 intersections
in the City of Tukwila. To the extent possible, we will build from networks developed by the City and Fehr
& Peers as part of previous projects. Fehr & Peers will analyze up to 60 intersections during the PM peak
hour using the Synchro model. If it is necessary to analyze additional intersections to meet the City's new
MMLOS metrics, Fehr & Peers will prepare an additional scope on a cost and materials basis.
Baseline Traffic Conditions
Given current challenges and unprecedented travel patterns related to COVID-19, we will develop baseline
traffic volumes based on historic counts from 2019. Our approach will utilize both historical counts available
from traditional count vendors, as well as remote turning movement data prepared by big data vendors,
like Streetlight Data. We also anticipate factoring some counts taken in 2021 (post peak COVID-19 impacts
to transportation) to 2019 conditions where the historic or remote data are not available or reliable.
Citywide Traffic Operations Analysis
The City will provide signal timing information at locations controlled by the City. Fehr & Peers will calculate
intersection levels of service (LOS) using Synchro for the PM peak hour. Using the most current Urban Street
Corridor LOS method from the Highway Capacity Manual and leveraging data collected for other analyses
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 5 of 22
in the TE update, Fehr & Peers will calculate arterial corridor LOS using the state of the practice
methodology.
Fehr & Peers will perform two field visits to review signal timings and validate geometries at key
intersections.
Focused Traffic Analysis for the Urban Center
Fehr & Peers will also perform weekday midday and weekend peak hour levels of service analyses for up to
15 intersections, including major driveways in the vicinity of Southcenter Mall, which is understood to have
non-traditional peak periods in traffic volumes due to mall travel patterns.
Assumptions
• City will provide signal timing sheets and information for all signalized intersections.
• Findings from this task will be included in the Transportation Needs Assessment.
Deliverables:
• 2019 PM peak hour Synchro citywide intersection -level traffic operations results
• Tukwila Urban Center midday and weekend intersection LOS results
3.4 Collision History Analysis
Fehr & Peers will summarize the past five years of collision data within the City using data from WSDOT.
This work will be prepared as part of Fehr & Peers work on the Local Road Safety Plan, which is described
in Task 11.
3.5 Existing Conditions for Transit
Transit is a critical mode of travel in Tukwila and requires careful planning to advocate for Tukwila riders. As
part of this task, Nelson\Nygaard will assess how transit is operating in Tukwila. This includes documenting
ridership, productivity, service availability, and on-time performance for all routes operating in Tukwila.
Maps will be developed showing ridership levels for each route. We anticipate using existing data from
King County Metro and Sound Transit to develop the existing conditions route summaries.
In addition, using available data, an assessment for Via to Transit service from TIB will be conducted.
Origin/destination data, as well as time of day usage will be assessed to understand the demand and trip
patterns. An assessment of the span of service will also be conducted.
Market Analysis and Travel Patterns
In order to better understand where employees are coming into Tukwila, we will utilize the most recent
Longitudinal Employer -Household Dynamics (LEND) data to show the origin and destination of work trips
in and out of Tukwila for all employees and also for low-wage jobs. This information can help address where
opportunities for additional connections, on -demand type services, and untapped markets exists.
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 6 of 22
An assessment of predominant travel patterns into and out of Tukwila will be conducted. The intent of the
analysis is to understand if transit service aligns with these travel flows and what, if any, gaps exist.
Deliverables:
• Existing conditions for transit memo
3.6 Transportation Needs Assessment and Existing Conditions
We will use the results of the data collection, orientation interviews, and outreach related to goals
development to determine a set of key transportation issues and existing baseline. Once the key
transportation issues are identified, Fehr & Peers will use these findings to conduct a needs assessment for
the following transportation modes and programs:
• Vehicle Congestion
• Multimodal Needs (Biking, Walking)
• Transit Needs
• Freight and Truck Mobility
• Collision history
• Other as identified during completion of Tasks 1.1 and 1.2
This needs assessment will include an evaluation of existing conditions that will summarize the analysis
findings. This report will include graphics illustrating the results of the transportation data, collection effort
and the multi -modal operations analysis. This draft report will feed into a chapter of the final report and be
included as an appendix.
Deliverables:
• Visually -enhanced memo documenting existing conditions for the above modes, as well as
anticipated future conditions
Task 4 - Metrics Development
Once the City's transportation goals and needs have been established, the next step is to identify the types
of level of service (LOS) measures that will reinforce these priorities. Similar to Task 1, we will hold a second
workshop with staff to discuss LOS options for each mode. Then, we will summarize metrics for approval by
City Council.
4.1 MMLOS Workshop
Fehr & Peers staff will lead a three-hour workshop with Tukwila staff (representing departments such as
Public Works, Community Development, Parks and Recreation, and key elected officials) to identify
transportation LOS metrics. This workshop will build from the transportation goals identified in the Task 2
workshop. Prior to the workshop, Fehr & Peers will develop maps and data that will facilitate the discussion
of LOS options, such as maps of the City's key networks for each transportation mode, the presence of

facilities (such as sidewalks), and key land uses. We will rely on data available in the City's GIS database.
This upfront work is expected to facilitate a productive discussion at the workshop. During the workshop,
Fehr & Peers will present multimodal level of service (MMLOS) models currently applied in other
communities, facilitate discussion of the relevance of these models in Tukwila given the community's goals
and transportation system, and discuss if any of these resonate with city staff.
We will produce a summary of the workshop for the project record. The City will review the summary and
provide one round of comments and recommendations.
Nelson\Nygaard will provide support for the implementation of MMLOS We anticipate preparing and
attending this workshop. The level of effort will be limited to 16 hours of support, and no work on this task
will take place without specific direction from Fehr & Peers.
Deliverables:
• Meeting notes summarizing the LOS Workshop and related efforts.
4.2 Develop MMLOS Metrics
Based on the outcomes from the workshop, Fehr & Peers will develop recommended MMLOS metrics,
standards, and planning guidelines for inclusion in the Transportation Element. These MMLOS metrics,
standards, and planning guidelines will identify the types of facilities that would be needed to accommodate
each mode of travel (pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and automobiles) and the data needed to monitor this LOS
and accommodate for each mode.
We will develop a brief memorandum, which summarizes the LOS metrics and how they relate to state -of -
the -practice methods. The City will review the memorandum and provide one round of comments and
recommendations.
Deliverables:
• Memorandum summarizing MMLOS policy recommendations, including maps of facilities.
4.3 Modal Network Development
Following the level of service (LOS) workshops and the existing and planning context analysis, we will
develop a series of proposed networks for the City of Tukwila that include the following modal priority
networks:
• Pedestrian
• Bicycle
• Transit
• Auto
• Freight
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 8 of 22
Deliverables:
• Priority network maps (pdf, geodatabases including shapefiles and layer files, and .mxd files). All
data must include associated metadata.
• Memo describing how these priority networks guide infrastructure recommendations and tie to
LOS policies
4.4 Apply Performance Metrics
Building off the MMLOS metrics and project goals, Fehr & Peers will work with the City to apply the MMLOS
metrics to all city arterials (principal, minor, and collector), the bicycle priority network, and major pedestrian
streets. The application will focus on 2019 conditions. Results will be shared with the City in a spreadsheet
and maps will also be prepared for inclusion in the final report.
Deliverables:
• Spreadsheets and maps applying MMLOS performance metrics
Task 5A - Model Development
Task 5 describes the steps necessary to develop an updated travel demand model customized for the City
of Tukwila that is based on the most recent version of Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) trip -based
model. The TAZ structure and roadway network detail will be consistent with the current version of the City's
model. The deliverables for this task include a calibrated and validated base year scenario, near-term
scenario for concurrency checks, and a long-term scenario for horizon year planning.
5.1 Existing Data Collection and Base Year Model Inputs
The existing data required to develop the City's model will be collected and organized under this task. As
part of this task, we will coordinate with the City to discuss the following data needs.
The City will be responsible for providing:
• Existing population and employment estimates by TAZ
• Roadway functional classification, number of lanes, and posted speed limits
The existing inputs to the PSRC travel model will be used as the basis for model development. The TAZ
system and roadway network detail within the City of Tukwila will be imported from the current version of
the City's model. Travel model land use inputs for the City will be updated based on the information
provided by the City, Fehr & Peers will update the roadway and transit networks using data from Task 3.
The existing PSRC input assumptions will be used when updated data is not available from the City, for
example neighboring jurisdiction land uses and transportation networks. For areas outside the City, the
necessary inputs will be interpolated to the base year of the new City of Tukwila model. The transportation
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 9 of 22
network within a reasonable distance of the City will also be verified and updated as necessary to be
consistent with the updated base year.
5.2 Base Year Scenario Calibration and Validation
The base year scenario will be calibrated and validated under this task. The specific validation checks will be
appropriate for the scope and scale of the City's model and will include both static and dynamic tests. The
model will be validated to existing conditions data as well as travel behavior patterns consistent with the
PSRC regional model. Sample static validation tests include:
• Mode split estimates (SOV, HOV, transit, non -motorized)
• Comparison of model volumes to existing counts (at individual locations and screenlines)
Dynamic validation tests will ensure that the model responds appropriately to changes in land use and
modifications to the roadway network. Sample dynamic validation tests include increasing the household
and employment estimates and adding or removing capacity from the roadway network.
Deliverable:
• Model validation report summarizing static and dynamic validation tests for each step of the model.
The validation requirements will be discussed, and full results provided for each analysis time
period.
Refinement of the future year scenario and future forecasts are anticipated to occur in the scope of optional
tasks.
Task 6A - Public Outreach
Community engagement is a key component of the overall process, ensuring that community stakeholders
have ample opportunity to identify issues, influence outcomes, and participate in final recommendations.
This engagement program will approach these issues sensitively, creating a constructive context for
conversation, debate, and, perhaps, change. The overall engagement program will enable collaboration in
identifying and resolving issues, facilitate two-way communication, ensure transparency, and build trust.
6.1 Outreach and Social Media Strategy Plan
As part of this task, Fehr & Peers will work with City staff to develop a Public Outreach Plan including
outreach strategies, events, and timeline. Before initiating outreach, Fehr & Peers will meet with Tukwila
staff (such as staff from Human Services and the City's Community Outreach Manager) to understand
current connections, relationships, and City staff capabilities for translation and interpretation.
Assumptions:
• City staff will work with the Tukwila Communications Department on approval and implementation
of the social media strategy
Tukwila Transportation Element Update

Deliverables:
• Public outreach plan and social media strategy plan
6.2 Orientation Interviews
We will conduct six stakeholder interviews, speaking with community stakeholders, staff from local transit
and transportation agencies, and representatives from the community's major employers. These interviews
may be conducted in Tukwila (at a location determined and arranged by City staff), conducted by phone or
online platforms, or at a local agency's office. City staff will also be responsible for inviting interviewees and
confirming the interview schedule.
We will produce a summary of the interviews for the project record, identifying apparent transportation
concerns, issues and priorities to help guide the balance of the project.
Assumptions:
• These interviews will be conducted at a location determined and arranged by City staff.
• City staff will also be responsible for inviting interviewees and confirming the interview schedule. If
necessary, some interviews may be conducted by phone, online, or at locations outside of Tukwila.
Deliverables:
• Memorandum summarizing interview findings
6.3 Online Engagement and Public Outreach Materials
We will assist the City by defining project messages and creating templates and materials. In order to build
awareness for the project, this task includes the following outreach methods:
• Host a project website in English and translated into up to four additional languages.
• Two online surveys, in English, and translated into up to four additional languages. Fehr & Peers
will analyze the results. The outreach plan will address specific online engagement tools to be
utilized.
• Three fact sheets on the project - one draft and one final version of each — that incorporates Tukwila
staff feedback to serve as handout material at events and when engaging with the public and
stakeholders.
• "Meeting in a Box" materials: Fehr & Peers will develop materials that City staff can use to conduct
additional outreach events, such as pop -ups, to "meet the community where they are." Specific
materials will be specified in the outreach plan.
6.4 Online Interactive Webmap
To collect additional information from members of the public, Fehr & Peers will develop a user-friendly,
online interactive map where community members can provide input on potential needs and improvements
in specific locations, such as missing bicycle/pedestrian connections, high -stress crossings, challenging
intersections or road segments, or near -miss locations.
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 11 of 22
City staff will review and comment on the draft survey and web map, and the Consultant team will make
one round of edits (as needed). After enough time has passed to allow the public opportunity to register
comments on the website, we will close the interactive web map for additional comments, and Fehr & Peers
will analyze the results, which will inform our project recommendations in Task 7.
Deliverables:
• Interactive Webmap
• Online map findings section of public outreach memorandum
• 6.5 City Council Check -Ins (2022)
The Consultant team will present at up to two City Council or boards/commissions meetings to report on
progress made and to request input from the Council/board/commission. Input will be needed at key points
during the development of the Transportation Element, such as:
• Goals and vision
• MMLOS metrics
• Performance metrics
• Draft project list
• Draft Plan
• Implementation items (impact fees, financial plan, etc.)
Deliverables:
• Consultant attendance at City Council/boards/commissions meetings
• Presentation materials
6.6 Targeted Outreach and Personalized Engagement
Tukwila is a diverse community with businesses and residents that reflect different ethnicities, cultures, and
primary languages. Outreach activities to "hard to reach" groups are anticipated to include a range of
activities.
Targeted outreach is likely to consist of phone calls, emails, or attendance (either virtually if COVID continues
to be an issue, or in person) at community events or meetings. In addition to targeted outreach, Fehr &
Peers will identify locations and audiences for pop-up events or online focus groups designed to serve
traditionally underserved communities. We will design targeted outreach events and online focus
groups/pop-up events at 2-4 locations to gain public input on the draft project list.
Locations, timing, and activities may vary based on the results of the targeted outreach. We will make use
of translators regarding materials and interpreters to help facilitate in-person meetings; these interpreters
can be City staff who want to form long-term relationships or interpreters engaged through a vendor (e.g.
Dynamic Languages). If this task is advanced, we will need to refine our cost estimate based on whether the
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 12 of 22
City provides translators, or if Fehr & Peers works with a subconsultant for translation services. For the
purposes of budgeting, we have included $2,000 in vendor translation services.
Equity Analysis
Fehr & Peers will perform an in-depth equity analysis based on identified equity emphasis areas. In other
communities, equity emphasis areas identify portions of the City where transportation investments may be
prioritized differently based on unique needs or different timeframes to address specific transportation
needs, patterns, and preferences. We will work with the City to identify these areas including variables such
as: health, income, age, and ethnicity, foreign born status, readily available travel options, and accessibility.
We will meet with City staff in two 1.5 -hour meetings. First, we will discuss current equity practices and
historically underserved communities in Tukwila. After performing a data review and equity analysis, we will
meet with the City again to discuss equity emphasis area maps and figures and identify how we may want
to consider the equity emphasis areas in project identification and prioritization.
Assumptions:
• City staff will assist with staffing public outreach events
• City staff will print any flyers or hand-outs and poster boards
Deliverables:
• Equity emphasis area maps and figures (pdf, geodatabases including shapefiles and layer files, and
.mxd files).
• Brief memorandum summarizing the data review and equity analysis process
• Meeting agenda and notes
• Pop-up materials including electronic copies of poster boards and PDF files of hand-outs
•

6.7 Targeted Outreach and Personalized Engagement (2023)
Building off targeted outreach performed in 2022, this targeted outreach is likely to consist of phone calls,
emails, or attendance (either virtually if COVID continues to be an issue, or in person) at community events
or meetings. In addition to targeted outreach, Fehr & Peers will identify locations and audiences for pop-
up events or online focus groups designed to serve traditionally underserved communities. We will design
targeted outreach events and online focus groups/pop-up events at 2-4 locations to gain public input on
the draft project list.
Locations, timing, and activities may vary based on the results of the targeted outreach. We will make use
of translators regarding materials and interpreters to help facilitate in-person meetings; these interpreters
can be City staff who want to cull long-term relationships or interpreters engaged through a vendor (e.g.
Dynamic Languages). If this task is advanced, we will need to refine our cost estimate based on whether the
City provides translators, or if Fehr & Peers works with a subconsultant for translation services. For the
purposes of budgeting, we have included $2,000 in vendor translation services.
Deliverables:
• Meeting agenda and notes
• Pop-up materials including electronic copies of poster boards and PDF files of hand-outs
6.8 Transit Rider Intercept Survey
As an optional task, Nelson\Nygaard staff will conduct Intercept surveys at TIB or Southcenter stations
during morning and mid-morning times. The intent of the survey is to establish how people access transit
and what access improvements would help them to better access transit. Questions about why people ride
transit will also be included to better understand the motivations for choosing transit and steps Tukwila can
take to improve the attractiveness of transit (recognizing the City can't increase frequency or coverage
alone).
Deliverable:
• Intercept survey summary

Task 7 - Future Projects Development and Evaluation
Following the understanding of trends and the identification of priorities, the project team will identify
policies, programs, and projects that advance the city's priorities.
7.1 Future Auto Operations Assessment
Fehr & Peers will use the travel demand model to develop future year forecasts at the intersections identified
in the existing (year 2019) PM peak hour operations analysis. We will again analyze up to 75 intersections
during the PM peak hour using the Synchro model, applying state of the practice methodology. For each
intersection, we will report average delay per vehicle and level of service (LOS). If additional intersections
are requested by the City, Fehr & Peers will put together a separate scope on a time and materials basis.
Then, we will update the 2019 Synchro network to incorporate the proposed project list and analyze
operational performance.
Fehr & Peers will draft a memorandum, which will discuss both intersections and corridors operational
performance including identifying those that fail to meet the identified operational standard.
Deliverables:
• Forecasted - No Action - PM peak hour Synchro intersection -level traffic operations results
• Forecasted — With Improvements - PM peak hour Synchro intersection -level traffic operations
results
• One draft and one final summary memo
7.2 Develop Proposed Project List
After reviewing projects in adopted plans, crash data, developing modal networks, identifying MMLOS
standards and modal networks, Fehr & Peers will develop the proposed project list. This includes suggesting
capital improvements that fill a gap in the multimodal networks. In addition, Fehr & Peers will work with
City staff to add projects identified in the online webmap. These improvements will address needs identified
for all modes and support the established transportation goals.

programs, and projects. The prioritized list will be presented to the City Council, and members of the public
during the second phase of public outreach and will be refined based on their feedback. Fehr & Peers will
lead an in-person meeting with City staff to review the prioritized project list.
Assumptions:
• City staff will participate in in-person meeting to review the prioritized project list.
Deliverables:
• Draft and Final prioritized lists
• Meeting materials including agenda and meeting notes
7.4 Transit Service Recommendations
The transit element will update the direction for transit. It can include updated recommendations for fixed -
route service and on new technologies that can expand coverage and serve hard -to -reach areas where big
40 -foot buses may not be appropriate. Recommendations may focus on the span of service of Via to Transit,
additional types of on -demand services to enhance intra -Tukwila trips and first/last mile access, and
ensuring job -access.

Task ii - Local Road Safety Plan
The purpose of this task is to develop a plan identifying common risk factors and strategies to address a
systemic approach to safety in support of WSDOT's Target Zero to reduce road safety fatalities and serious
injuries. Leveraging analysis performed as part of the Transportation Element in previous tasks, developing
a Local Road Safety Plan will help position the City for future WSDOT Highway Safety Improvement Program
(HSIP) funding for projects that may reduce traffic fatality crashes. This task will be performed following
guidance provided by WSDOT in how to build a local road safety plan.
11.1 Analyze Individual Fatal/Serious Collisions to Identify Risk Factors
Fehr & Peers will obtain the most recent five -years worth of collision data from WSDOT for the City of
Tukwila. The collision data will be reviewed and cleaned (clearly identifying missing data, correcting
inconsistencies in data entry, etc.) before it is loaded into a GIS database. The GIS database will allow the
City to quickly filter crashes based on location, crash type (rear -end, broadside, turning vehicle/bicycle, etc.),
mode of transportation involved, severity (fatality, serious injury, other), and contributing factor.
Once the data are in GIS format, we will analyze all fatal and serious crashes and look for trends to determine
risk factors. Specifically, we will investigate the traits of the parties involved, collision types (e.g., rear -end,
broadside), preceding movements, unsafe behaviors, and other contributing factors like time of day,
weather, distraction, or alcohol/drug influence. We will also investigate trends in contextual variables (i.e.
risk factors) such as roadway speeds, ADT, functional class, number of travel lanes, intersection traffic
controls, the presence of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and the types of nearby land uses. We will assess
how these variables may affect the safety of roadway users, with a particular focus on pedestrians and
cyclists. This will form the basis for the Risk Factor analysis described in Task 11.2
Deliverables:
• Citywide collision database in GIS
• A list of the top risk factors
• Collision map showing fatality and serious injury crashes by mode (also to be included in the
Existing Conditions section of the Transportation Element)
• Collision heat map showing all collisions (also to be included in the Existing Conditions section of
the Transportation Element)
• Crash rates at study intersections and up to 20 roadway segments (also to be included in the
Existing Conditions technical appendix of the Transportation Element)
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 21 of 22
11.2 Most Common Risk Factor List
Fehr & Peers will build on the previous task by identifying common safety risk factors. WSDOT reports that
to date, applicants have an average of six risk factors. Fehr & Peers will share its findings in a one-hour
phone call with City staff.
Task 2.1 Deliverables:
• One-hour phone call with City staff to review findings of the top risk factors observed;
recommendation of risk factors to carry forward in the LRSP
11.3 Analyze Roadway Network for Presence of Risk Factors
We will analyze the City's roadway network to determine where the common risk factors are present. (Note:
WSDOT is flexible about how this analysis is conducted, though many jurisdictions perform this analysis on
a corridor -by -corridor basis.) Fehr & Peers will flag high-risk locations as those with the greatest number of
risk factors. This serves to identify those locations/corridors with high collision potential.
Deliverables:
• Map and excel table showing high-risk locations
11.4 Create Prioritized List of Roadway Sections
From the subset of high risk/high-collision corridors, Fehr & Peers, in conjunction with City staff, will identify
up to ten priority project locations consisting of hot spots, sub -corridors, or small zones. The project priority
locations will include a mix of "quick fix" projects that can be deployed quickly to address crashes and
larger -scale projects that are more costly and complex to implement, but can address more crashes or
crashes that cannot be addressed through a quick fix. We envision developing the priority project location
list/map in a two hour workshop with City staff.
Deliverables:
• Two-hour workshop with City staff to review collision data and identify priority project locations
• Map of up to 10 priority project locations
11.5 Identify Countermeasures to Address Prioritized Locations
Fehr & Peers has developed an extensive database of effective safety countermeasures, strategies, and
practices to reduce the number and severity of roadway collisions for all modes. Our database is built on
best practices and literature reviews and resources like the WSDOT Target Zero and FHWA countermeasure
toolboxes.
Using this countermeasure database, we will develop a targeted list of potential engineering safety
countermeasures for the City to consider for implementation, and match these with the priority locations
identified in the previous task in a matrix. City staff will provide input on the draft pairings. The matrix will
Tukwila Transportation Element Update
March 15, 2022
Page 22 of 22
serve as a tool to link the risk factors to countermeasures and define location -specific projects or
programmatic policies/programs.
This matrix will help illustrate the connection between identified deficiencies and corresponding
opportunities (i.e., countermeasures) in the City's transportation network.
Deliverables:
• Excel spreadsheet matrix pairing priority locations with potential countermeasures. One round of
revisions based on consolidated City comments
• Meeting with City staff to review draft matrix
11.6 Develop a Prioritized List of projects
Fehr & Peers will develop a draft Local Road Safety Plan. The Draft Plan will present existing safety
conditions, collision patterns, priority project locations, and a prioritized list of projects.
Fehr & Peers will meet with City staff to review staff feedback on the Draft Local Road Safety Plan. Fehr &
Peers will provide the draft plan in advance of the meeting. We will incorporate feedback received from City
staff into a Final Local Road Safety Plan. City staff will take the lead on plan adoption.
Deliverables:
• Draft Local Road Safety Plan
• Meeting with City staff to review the Draft Plan
• Final Local Road Safety Plan, based on one round of revisions from consolidated City comments
Task 12 — Management Reserve
12.1 Management Reserve
This scope is based on our best understanding of what is required to complete the City's Transportation
Element Background Plan and Local Road Safety Plan, but there are a few tasks that require further
