TransportationCommission | 2016-03-23 | 8 | Commissioner Miley moved to accept staff recommendations with the specific language that can be found on page 2 of item 5B that delineates ramp improvements, Stargell Avenue, Main Street and Central Avenue. Commission Vargas made an amendment to the recommendation, if time allows, for staff to contact other agencies to co-apply to be part of the grant application. Commissioner Schameier seconded the motion. The motion was approved 7-0. 5.C. Status Report of the Citywide Transit and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plans Staff Payne presented the status report. Commissioner Vargas said the page numbers should be included in the report. He also asked staff about the outreach efforts and if a stakeholder list was created. Staff Payne replied there was a list and she would send the list to the Commission for review. Commissioner Vargas replied the list should also include the city of Oakland and the Oakland office of the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR) as there may be some synergy with Broadway Street access. He also asked staff about the proposed fees of the consultants that were shown on page three. He wanted to know if the fee was considered during the valuation or was it qualifications based only. Staff Payne replied the cost was one of the criterion and there were other criteria like experience and quality of work. Commissioner Schatmeier replied that he looked at this page too and he did not remember any deliberation that the committee did and it could be viewed as if they chose the low bidder. He said they chose the firm they felt was the best and gave the best value for their dollars. Commissioner Vargas asked staff about the milestones described during the 18-month process and he asked what would be the key milestones to have the project under control. Staff Payne replied for the May meeting she would come before the Commission about the existing conditions. Afterwards, there would be a near term strategy type of memo, meaning staff would want to implement the strategies as soon as possible. She then explained that the preliminary strategies and the draft plan would be the other key milestones. Commissioner Hans asked staff who came up with the 400 surveys. Staff Payne replied that is the number that allows the research to become statistically significant. 5.D.
