scope of Work
Our initial step will be to meet with the Town Staff to finalize objectives, review
the work plan and finalize a schedule in conjunction with the Town. We wll then
gather all available data, drawings, and plans.
The parking needs wll be assessed by Fehr & Peers Associates. Existing
parking conditions as provided by the Town Traffic Engineer will be combined
with on -site and off -site traffic and parking surveys by Fehr & Peers Associates to
provide a written update to the surveys prepared by Ampco Systems Parking in
1994.
Lowney Associates will perform an investigation of the groundwater and
contamination issues. They will review existing soils reports from nearby sites,
as provided by the Town.
The project team will analyze and evaluate all available data, mapping, and plans
relative to the site. This evaluation will include:
• Pedestrian and auto access to and egress from site;
• Site layout - structure height and depth, the number of parking stalls, the
circulation patterns, etc.;
• Constraints of the site- street capacity, accessibility, etc. as well as the need
for additional property acquisition
Watry Design Group will meet with the Town Staff to present these findings, and
help them prepare for public outreach.
A Collaborative Process Workshop will be held with all the stakeholders. Watry
Design Group will facilitate critical public participation activities to elicit and
evaluate stakeholder viewpoints on all key development issues such as design,
construction, financing, and operation of the new parking structure. The results
of these efforts will then be incorporated into the final report, which will represent
the people of Los Gatos.
WATRY will produce three layout options for Lot #13, and two layout options for
Lot #2. These options include ground and typical floor plans, a preliminary
building section, and schematic elevations.
An estimation of probable construction cost will be prepared for each option,
All of the research results will be compiled into a report for the Town Council.
This report will describe the entire process and provide recommendations to the
Town. Watry Design Group will present a preliminary report to the Town Councl
and incorporate any comments into a final report

as at -grade parking lots.
We understand that the proposed parking structure is likely to be a multi-level structure,
with possibly one to two levels of below -grade parking. The parking structure is likely to

Los Gatos Parking Structure Feasibilky Study
Watry Design Group
Scope of Wo*
Our initial step will be to meet with the Town Staff to finalize objectives, review
the work plan and finalize a schedule in conjunction with the Town. We will then
gather all available data, drawings, and plans.
The parking needs will be assessed by Fehr & Peers Associates. Existing
parking conditions as provided by the Town Traffic Engineer will be combined
with on -site and off- site traffic and parking surveys by Fehr & Peers Associates to
provide a written update to the surveys prepared by Ampco Systems Parking in
1994.
Lowney Associates will perform an investigation of the groundwater and
contamination issues_ They will review existing sods reports from nearby sites,
as provided by the Town.
The project team will analyze and evaluate all available data, mapping, and plans
relative to the site. This evaluation will include:
+ Pedestrian and auto access to and egress from site;
• Site layout - structure height and depth, the number of parking stalls, the
circulation patterns, etc.;
+ Constraints of the site- street capacity, accessibility, etc. as well as the need
for additional property acquisition
Watry Design Group will meet with the Town Staff to present these findings, and
help them prepare for public outreach.
A Collaborative Process Workshop will be held with all the stakeholders. Watry
Design Group will facilitate critical public participation activities to elicit and
evaluate stakeholder viewpoints on all key development issues such as design,
construction, financing, and operation of the new parking structure. The results
of these efforts will then be incorporated into the final report, which will represent
the people of Los Gatos.
WATRY wr11 produce three layout options for Lot #13, and two layout options for
Lot #2. These options include ground and typical floor plans, a preliminary
building section, and schematic elevations.
An estimation of probable construction cost will be prepared for each option.
All of the research results will be compiled into a report for the Town Council.
This report will describe the entire process and provide recommendations to the
Town. Watry Design Group will present a preliminary report to the Town Council
and incorporate any comments into a final report

Thank you for requesting our agreement for geotechnical and environmental services for
the above referenced project in Los Gatos, California. We have outlined below our

We first present our understanding of the project followed by our detailed scope of
services. Our scope of services was carefully developed to rely on our familiarivy with the
geotechnical conditions in the area and to provide suitable information for conceptual
planning and preliminary design.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We understand that the Town of Los Gatos is considering the feasibility of constructing a
parking structure on either Lot 2 or Lot 13. Lot 2 is located just east of Santa Cruz Avenue
between Bachman Avenue and Royce Street. Lot 13 is located at the northwest corner of
the West Nlain Street and Victory Lane intersection. The existing parcels are currently used
as at -grade parking lots.
We understand that the proposed parking structure is likely to be a multi -level structure,
with possibly one to two levels of below -grade parking. The parking structure is likely to
be of reinforced and post- tensioned concrete construction.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our detailed scope of services is presented below.

general accordance with the requirements of American Society of Testing and materials
(ASTm) designation E 1527.97, and would include a site history review, regulatory agency
file review, site and vicinity reconnaissance, review of a regulatory agency database report
