ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF SERVICES December 3, 1998 Data Collection (Phase I) 1 . Meet with officials from the City of Elgin to further clarify study objectives; review the previous studies; define study area(s), parking analysis zones; and review and update the work plan including the schedule. 2. Collect parking occupancy data (one day) for all on and off-street parking within the study area. Parking Supply and Demand Update (Phase II) 1 . Obtain from the City of Elgin changes that have occurred and are projected to occur in land use. 2. Obtain from the City of Elgin, and verify the field changes that have occurred in the on-street and off-street parking inventory. 3. Update the tabulated parking inventory from the two previous studies. 4. Update the existing parking demand model utilizing the updated land use and parking occupancy data. 5. Determine the future parking demand under two to three development scenarios prepared by the City of Elgin. Typically, the scenarios include: 1) committed development that reflects projects either in construction or expected to begin within the next three years; 2) expected development that reflects projects likely to occur within four to seven years; and 3) optimistic development that may come to fruition in the longer term. 6. Compare the parking supply with projected future demand to determine the impact each of the development scenarios will have on area parking conditions. 7. Identify areas with parking deficiencies that are likely to require expansion of the parking supply. 8. Prepare a draft report or review and discuss findings with City of Elgin staff, New Century Partnership and Downtown Neighborhood Association. Attachment A Scope of Services December 3, 1998 Page 2 of 3 Parking Alternatives Analysis (Phase Ill) 1 . Determine whether the number of spaces could be increased through restriping and efficiency improvements in existing facilities. 2. Determine whether any existing facilities can be expanded to meet area parking needs. 3. Develop a number of conceptual solutions, including those developed as part of Walker's February, 1997 Parking Study for new parking facilities (surface and/or structured). External variables that will be considered are desirable density, phasing of construction and incorporation of other uses (such as retail) in any proposed facility. 4. Determine conceptual construction and project costs including estimated operational expenses to enable a comparison of the costs of each alternative on an "apples-to- apples" basis. 5. Evaluate the various alternatives on the basis of qualitative criteria to be mutually agreed upon with the City of Elgin. The criteria may include but is not limited to capital cost, life cycle cost, ability to generate revenue, location, visibility, pedestrian access, vehicular access, traffic impact, aesthetics, implementation time, security, and future versatility. A weighted matrix will be used to achieve more objectivity and to rank the alternatives. 6. Meet with the City of Elgin, New Century Partnership and Downtown Neighborhood Association to discuss the conceptual designs and present the matrix analysis to agree upon weighting and other considerations. 7. Develop a recommended plan for improvements, including phasing of components corresponding to projected needs. 8. Prepare phase report. Final Report — (Phase IV) 1 . Conduct one formal presentation of our findings. . ' . . Attachment A Scope � �e Services '.. rv/cas December 3, 1998 Pageof3 3 2.

The scope of services pro- posed by Walker is outlined as follows : Data Collection (Phase 1) 1) Meet with officials from the City of Elgin to further clarify study objectives; review the previous studies; define study area (s) , parking analysis zones; and review and update the work plan, including the schedule . 2) Collect parking occupancy data (one day) for all on and off-street parking within the study area. Parking Supply and Demand Update (Phase II) 1) Obtain from the City of Elgin changes that have occurred and are projected to occur in land use . 2) Obtain from the City of Elgin, and verify the field changes that have occurred in the on-street and off- street parking inventory. 3) Update the tabulated parking inventory from the two previous studies . 4) Update the existing parking demand model utilizing the updated land use and parking occupancy data.
