A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FEHR & PEERS, OF
ROSEVILLE, FOR LODI TRAVEL DEMAND MODEL UPDATE
AND SENATE BILL 743 IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES; AND
FURTHER APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, California enacted Senate Bill (SB) 743 in 2013 to make changes to the
transportation impact analysis in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process; and
WHEREAS, with implementation of SB 743, "Level of Service" (LOS) can no longer be
used to determine the significant environmental (traffic) impacts in the CEQA process. The
primary unit of measure must now be "Vehicle Miles Traveled" (VMT) identifying such impacts.
The State of California Office of Planning and Research determined that the mitigation for LOS
may sometimes promote more vehicle trips by encouraging wider streets and increased vehicle
speeds to reduce LOS impacts; and
WHEREAS, VMT is the measurement of all vehicle trips in a geographic area over a
period of time; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional
Services Agreement with Fehr & Peers, of Roseville, for Lodi Travel Demand Model Update and
Senate Bill 743 Implementation Services, in an amount not to exceed $86,000; and
WHEREAS, staff also recommends the City Council appropriate funds in the amount of
$86,000, from the fund balance of Community Development (27080000.72450) for
Fiscal Year 2019/20.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Fehr & Peers, of
Roseville, California, for Lodi Travel Demand Model Update and Senate Bill 743 Implementation
Services, for the term of one year, in an amount not to exceed $86,000; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize an
appropriation in the amount of $86,000, as set forth above.
