Subject: Proposal for Senate Bill 743 Implementation Assistance for Town of Los Gatos
Dear Ying:
We appreciate the opportunity to present our proposal to provide Senate Bill (SB) 743
implementation assistance to the Town of Los Gatos. This proposal covers tasks to prepare a
white paper addressing the implementation of SB 743 for the Town of Los Gatos, stakeholder
outreach, education and discussion, and general professional support on implementing methods,
metrics, and thresholds for Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis. Per our conversations with the
Town, we will assist Town staff through the process of developing a set of procedures for
environmental impact analysis of land use and transportation projects. In consultation with Fehr &
Peers, Town staff will form recommendations and/or alternatives to present to Town Council in
June 2020 for its consideration and approval. Given its relevancy, this scope complements other
tasks under the previously approved scope for the Town of Los Gatos 2040 General Plan Update.
Scope of Work
Our proposed scope of work, schedule, and fee estimate are described below.
Task 1. Kick-Off Meeting
Town staff and up to four Fehr & Peers staff will meet to launch this effort, review project
schedule, scope, and discuss and finalize the desired outcomes of this project.
Schedule: We expect to hold a kick-off meeting within two weeks of a signed agreement.
EXHIBIT A

Task 2. Develop a White Paper Discussing SB 743 Compliance
Requirements
There are several decisions that the Town will need to make regarding SB 743 implementation
and California’s new California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. The questions that
need to be answered can be complex and technically detailed. Fehr & Peers will prepare a White
Paper that is designed to provide information on each of these decisions, focusing on metrics to
measure VMT, methods to calculate VMT, potential significant impact thresholds, and potential
mitigation measures. This White Paper will take into consideration the size, location and
development environment of Los Gatos and will include up to three project examples selected in
coordination with Town staff, showing how different types of projects in d ifferent locations would
be affected by a transportation analysis focused on VMT instead of Level of Service (LOS). These
examples are intended to be used to illustrate how different compliance elements apply to
different projects and may include estimates for VMT per capita for a given TAZ or location;
however, they will not include precise VMT estimates for each example. The White Paper will also
include discussion of the following topics and decisions :
Defining Policy and Legal Framework. The White Paper will begin with a background discussion
of recent changes to the CEQA Guidelines and summary of relevant local planning documents,
including the 2020 General Plan (September 2010), Traffic Impact Policy (#1-05, March 2017), and
Complete Streets Policy (#3-01, February 2019).
Selecting VMT Metrics. The Town has the discretion to choose the most appropriate methods to
evaluate a project’s VMT, including how the results of that method are expressed. Generally, VMT
is expressed in one of two ways: per-capita (i.e. VMT per resident, VMT per worker, VMT per
service population) or in total (all VMT associated with a project or plan). Fehr & Peers will
describe the benefits and limitations of each of these metrics such that the Town can determine
how each metric will affect the case study projects.
Selecting VMT Calculation Methods. Selecting a VMT methodology can be done
simultaneously with selecting a metric, as one is likely to inform the other. A VMT methodology
consists of the approach used to analyze a project’s VMT effects. There are three potential project
types that may use either a consistent methodology, or may require unique methodologies for
each:
• Transportation Plans and Projects, such as changes in roadway configurations, new
roadways, etc.
Ying Smith
November 11, 2019
Page 3 of 8
• Land Use Projects, such as individual developments
• Land Use Plans, such as area plans, specific plans, and general plans.
The VMT methodology may consider the following approaches:
1. Screening Methods
The first set of VMT methods consist of a variety of screening methods, which could be used to
exempt a project from additional analysis. Some examples of screening criteria include small sized
projects, low VMT areas, affordable housing projects, and area s that are consistent with the
Sustainable Communities Strategy.
2. Model and/or Algebraic Methods
If a project requires further VMT analysis, a transportation model or a simplified algebraic method
could be considered depending on the level of detail required for the project, and the project’s
general complexity.
Selecting VMT Impact Significance Thresholds. The Town has discretion to choose its
threshold of significance for identifying a VMT impact. The intent of the threshold is to identify
whether a project has substantial environmental impacts due to traffic (such as noise, air,
pollution, and safety concerns), and whether a project balances the needs of congestion
management with statewide goals such as the promotion of infill development. The White Paper
will present the following possible thresholds and supporting evidence for each, as well as high-
level qualitative discussion of which case study projects would be likely to fall above or below
each threshold:
• Total VMT threshold using the Town-level and County-level baseline VMT (two
thresholds)
• Partial VMT threshold for residential projects using home-based VMT using the Town-
level and County-level baseline VMT (two thresholds)
• Partial VMT threshold for non-retail employment projects using home-based work VMT
using the Town-level and County-level baseline VMT (two thresholds)
• Boundary VMT using the Town-level and County-level baseline VMT
Identifying VMT Mitigation Actions. The Town will also need to determine if projects will be
able to mitigate significant VMT impacts, and whether those measures can reduce an impact to a
less-than-significant level. The most commonly used means of mitigating a VMT impact are
Ying Smith
November 11, 2019
Page 4 of 8
transportation demand management and changes to the project or introduction of a project
alternative. This task will include a high-level review of how other jurisdictions have incorporated
transportation demand management into their mitigation measures for VMT impacts, and a
discussion of the potential risks and uncertainties related to VMT mitigation measures. We will
also note how various mitigation strategies might apply to each of the case studies as it is
relevant to Los Gatos.
Workflow and Schedule: The agreed upon workflow and tasks should include:
1. Fehr & Peers will provide Town staff white paper(s) on each question identified in the Oct.
8 staff report.
a. This step can be accomplished by having one memo/white paper to cover all
topics, or separate memos;
b. The white paper should contain information, not recommendations, and should
include generic and Town-specific information that takes into considerations Los
Gatos' size, location, and development environment;
c. Town staff will review the draft White Paper and provide comments to Fehr &
Peers;
d. Fehr & Peers will incorporate staff comments and finalize the white paper.
2. Town staff, upon consultation with Fehr & Peers, will make recommendations and/or
provide options to Council.
3. Fehr & Peers will provide additional analysis and information based on Town staff's
recommendations, and/or provide alternatives.
We expect to take eight weeks to complete a draft White Paper. We have budgeted a total of
eight staff hours to update the White Paper based on comments received and will resubmit as
final; this is estimated to require two weeks following receipt of comments.
Task 3. Stakeholder Outreach, Education and Discussions
Task 3.1. Develop Initial Outreach and Education Materials
Fehr & Peers will work with Town staff to prepare initial outreach and education materials on SB
743 for various media including website, social media, and printed materials. Rather than
developing new content, Fehr & Peers will leverage the existing content and materials they have
prepared on SB 743 and modify it for the Town of Los Gatos. Initial outreach and education
materials will present an appropriate level of background information and technical details on SB
743 and include:
Ying Smith
November 11, 2019
Page 5 of 8
• a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers;
• summary sheet on SB 743 and the transition from LOS to VMT; and
• YouTube link to Fehr & Peers’ “What is VMT?” video.
Additional education and outreach materials that require modification for a less -technical
audience can be prepared for an additional fee.
Schedule: We expect it to take two weeks to develop initial outreach and education content.
Task 3.2. Perform Case Study Project Evaluations
Fehr & Peers will work with the Town of Los Gatos to evaluate up to three different land use
projects based on the thresholds, methodologies, and mitigation measures identified in previous
tasks. Below are three types of projects that Los Gatos could consider as part of this evaluation:
• Office building (~70 ksf) project near existing residential land uses.
• Residential development (approximately 250 to 500 units).
• Mixed use project, which includes a combination of office and residential land uses.
These case studies will be used to evaluate applicability of the VMT thresholds, estimation
methodologies, and proposed mitigation measures. Fehr & Peers will create a case study report
based on the evaluations of the selected projects.
Schedule: We expect it to take six weeks to complete a draft case study report. Town staff will
review the draft case study report and provide comments to Fehr & Peers. We have budgeted a
total of eight staff hours to update the draft case study report based on comments received and
will resubmit as final; this is estimated to require two weeks following receipt of comments.
Task 3.3. Attend Public Meetings
Fehr & Peers will attend and participate in up to four public meetings with the Town of Los Gatos.
This will include attending, presenting, and responding to questions at either a Town Council,
Commissions, Committee, or other public meeting. Select meetings may also include presenting
additional information from the White Paper developed as part of Task 2. Prior to each meeting,
we will participate in one conference call (for a total of four) to identify an appropriate level of
depth for each presentation and generally confirm content and duration.
Ying Smith
November 11, 2019
Page 6 of 8
Task 4. Update Local Transportation Analysis Policy
Based on the outcomes from Tasks 1-3, Fehr & Peers will develop proposed updates to the
Town’s local transportation analysis policies, including policies referenced in the 2020 General
Plan (September 2010), Traffic Impact Policy (#1-05, March 2017), and Complete Streets Policy
(#3-01, February 2019). Fehr & Peers will document the proposed policy modifications for
consideration in a memorandum, which will address how the Town of Los Gatos can continue to
use LOS analysis as part of land use entitlement once SB 743 is fully certified.
Schedule: We expect it to take four weeks to complete a draft memorandum. Town staff will
review the draft document and provide comments to Fehr & Peers. We have budgeted a total of
six staff hours to update the draft document on comments received and will resu bmit as final; this
is estimated to require two weeks following receipt of comments.
Task 5. Develop Transportation Analysis (TA) Guidelines
Fehr & Peers will draft new transportation analysis (TA) guidelines for the Town of Los Gatos
based on decisions from Task 2 and consultation with Town staff, council members, planning
commission, and/or the public. The TA guidelines will include defining the VMT analysis method,
impact thresholds that are supported by quantitative evidence, and mitigation programs for use
in projects. This will include discussion of analysis and screening methods for land use projects,
transportation projects, and specific/general plans, including an assessment of how the Town’s
General Plan will influence future transportation analysi s. The final deliverable will include three
main components:
1. Transportation Analysis Methodologies per SB 743 Compliance
2. Updates to the Town’s Local Transportation Analysis Policies
3. CEQA Analysis for Transportation Improvements (to be completed by Town staff)
Fehr & Peers will work in close partnership with Town staff in both the Public Works and Planning
Departments, as well as the Town’s legal counsel, and will focus on the technical basis for
selecting the thresholds requested. Technical memorandum documenting the basis and
substantial evidence for each recommendation will be provided as appropriate. This effort would
likely occur in coordination with VTA’s development of guidance and screening tools for
communities throughout Santa Clara County.
Ying Smith
November 11, 2019

We will deliver a draft document to Town staff for review. We have budgeted a total of six staff
hours to update the documentation based on comments received and resubmit as final. We have
budgeted another four hours of staff time to assist Town staff in developi ng the ordinance for
Council review.
Schedule: We expect it to take six weeks to complete a draft TA guidelines report. This budget
includes one round of comment and revision, which is expected to require an additional two
weeks following receipt of comments.
Task 6. Additional Analysis Enhancements On-Call
If requested by Town staff, Fehr & Peers will be available for on-call support to perform additional
analysis enhancements on Tasks 1-5 above. We have allocated $20,000 to respond to as-needed
requests from Town staff, as well as the Town’s legal counsel, council members, planning
commission, and/or the public.
Fee Estimate
Fehr & Peers will perform the scope of work (see Table 1) on a time and materials basis with a
not-to-exceed limit of $122,820 which includes all professional and support staff time, as well as
reimbursement for direct expenses.
