RECOMMEND ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the
City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with
Fehr & Peers Transportation Consultants, of Walnut Creek, for
preparation of a travel demand forecasting model for General Plan
update and appropriating funds in the amount of $160,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council has directed staff to proceed with the update of the
City of Lodi General Plan.
The existing traffic model for the City was prepared in 1990, in conjunction with the current General Plan.
A number of subsequent traffic analyses have been completed using the 1990 traffic model, the SJCOG
regional model, and derivatives thereof.
Staff recommends preparation of a new travel demand model for existing conditions within the City to
accelerate the schedule of the General Plan traffic analysis and this will result in fiscal efficiency by
preparing the existing conditions model in advance. In addition, the model will be able to identify areas
with excess traffic carrying capacity for consideration in designating land -use in the new General Plan.
Requests for proposals were sent to two firms pre -qualified for the General Plan consultant teams. A
single proposal was received from Fehr & Peers. This company has done a substantial amount of traffic
planning in the area, including Lodi, and is well-suited to do this work.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
