He has managed projects in eight states that include the following disciplines: transportation master plans, traffic calming, environmental impact assessments, parking and circulation studies, bicycle and pedestrian facility plans, new -urbanist planning, freeway interchanges, intersection/signal designs and corridor studies. PROJECT EXPERIENCE Steve Brown was either a key participant or principal -in -charge of all the following studies conducted by Fehr & Peers: SB743 Support to OPR We supported the State's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) by: developing a series of white papers, participating in strategy discussions, and reviewing draft documents prepared by OPR. We also partnered with Portland State University to develop several pilot studies of example projects to test the methods and results of vehicle -miles -travelled analysis. Finally, Mr Brown participated in workshops sponsered by SCAG on this topic. SB743 and Toll Road Facilities (Orange County, CA) On behalf of the Orange County Toll Road Authority (TCA), we tested the vehicle - miles -travelled implications related to a series of facility modifications within the TCA system. This included a test of widening projects on SR73, SR241, and SR261. The results were used to understand how TCA can comply with the SB743 guidelines and to establish appropriate thresholds of significance. SB743 and South OC (Orange County, CA) As part of a comprehensive effort to develop transportation solutions for South Orange County, we evaluated the VMT performance of 22 transportation options. This effort provided the client with information regarding the range of impacts, appropriate thresholds, and potential mitigations. SB743 for City of Costa Mesa (Costa Mesa, CA) We are advising the City of Costa Mesa in complying with the SB743 requiremetns b: developing new transporation impact analysis guidelines, modifications to their Circulation Element in their General Plan, and thresholds of significance for VMT. This is a joint effort of the City's Planning and Transportation Departments. Westside Mobility Plan and Impact Fee (Los Angeles, CA) Mr. Brown served as Principal -in -charge of this effort to create a comprehensive plan for the Westside of Los Angeles, which included a state-of-the-art travel model and fee program. The fee program was the first in the state to incorporate VMT as the primary metric for determining relative benefit (and cost sharing). The fees cover a variety of modes (including transit and bike) and all new development. This effort won an Award of Excellence from the LA chapter of APA. Gateway Cities Strategic Transportation Plan and Fee Structure( Mr. Brown was the lead for Fehr & Peers on this landmark program, including preparation of the Active Transportation Plan. This plan included more than 50 new or enhanced ideas for regional bike facilities, enhancements to major transit hubs, and sub -regional pedestrian facilities. Fehr & Peers also created the micro -simulation model to evaluate multi -modal conditions at a fine-grained level. This analysis looked at more than 100 "hot spots" in the study area to identify operational problems associated with lane drops, weaving, closely -spaced intersections, and truck impacts. The micro -simulation was used to determine cost-effective operational improvements that will optimize the performance of the system. The final component was the creation of a fee program structure to support the improvement plan. Mobility Strategies for County Corridors and Fee Program (Sacramento County, CA) Fehr & Peers was the lead firm on this landmark study to develop and evaluate ideas for enhancing mobility in the 11 most congested corridors in Sacramento County, a total of 55 miles of arterial roadways. Enhancing mobility was defined by reducing travel times and improved travel time reliability, increasing the people -moving capacity and improving safety for all users of the transportation system. The study provided an exhaustive list of ideas and quantitatively evaluated the most promising strategies. These results were presented in a short-list of strategies for each corridor that were supported by a fee program via areas -of -benefit. SACOG Blueprint (Sacramento, CA) The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) wanted to sponsor a long-range visioning exercise for the future of the Sacramento region, but found that their regional traffic model (SACMET) had no mechanism for predicting the effects of Smart Growth land use policies. Fehr & Peers developed a post - processor that enabled the SACMET model to be used to analyze the likely effects of neighborhood characteristics on travel behavior based on the 4Ds of the built environment: residential and employment density, diversity of land uses, walkable design, and proximity to regional destinations. The post -processor was used by the SACOG in their award -winning Blueprint Project. OCTA, State Route 55 Widening (1-5 to SR-91) PA/ED, (Orange County, CA) Fehr & Peers has prepared a traffic impact report for the SR-55 Widening (1-5 to SR-99) PA/ED in the cities of Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, and Tustin in Orange County, CA. We conducted the screening analysis of improvements options along the SR-55 study corridors and provided recommendations to the design team to refine project alternatives. We worked with the OCTA Modeling Section to develop the opening year and design year traffic forecasts for the proposed project alternatives and prepared the traffic volume report to summarize the methodologies and forecasting results. In addition, we developed a micro -simulation VISSIM model for the SR-55 study area, calibrated and validated the model to reflect the existing conditions. The validated VISSIM models were then used to evaluate the opening year and design year traffic operations for the SR-55 freeway corridor under each project alternative. Our evaluation performance measures includes the freeway facilities service levels and volume served, as well as the system -wide measures of effectiveness (MOE) such as corridor travel times, average travel speeds, VMT, VHD, and average delay per mile traveled. Steve served as the PIC. SR-57 Widening Project (Orange County, CA) Fehr & Peers completed the traffic study for the SR-57 Widening PR/ED. Our main tasks included the development of micro - simulation models for the SR-57 study area, evaluation of existing and future traffic operations conditions before and after the project alternatives, and preparation of a traffic circulation impact report as part of the PR/ED. Steve served as the PIC. Diamond Bar Interchange Study (Diamond Bar, CA) Fehr & Peers was part of a team that assisted the City of Diamond Bar in evaluating freeway access options within the City.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE TCA, South County Traffic Relief Effort (SCTRE) PSR/PDS (Orange County, CA) As traffic lead for this 20-mile corridor improvements study, Anna led the traffic team to prepare the Traffic Engineering Performance Assessment (TEPA) as part of the PSR/PDS process. Tasks include development of purpose and need forthe project, working with stakeholders to conduct screening analysis and performance evaluation of the mobility alternatives, preparing the Traffic Engineering Performance Assessment (TEPA) and Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE), and developing traffic simulation model for -the study area. The study area covers the 20-mile 1-5 corridorfrom 1-405 to the OC/SD Countyline including freeway mainline segments and ramps. Traffic data was collected from multiple sources including Caltrans, OCTA, Caltrans' PeMS (Freeway Performance Measurement System), and field data. Although the TEPA is intended to use readily available information, extensive review and multi -source cross checks of traffic data were conducted for the purpose of this project to ensure quality of existingtraffic data. The Orange County Transportation Analysis Model (OCTAM) version 4.0 was used to develop the openingyear and design year traffic forecasts. As TEPAfocuses on planning level mainline, ramp, and arterial operations. Freeway mainline and ramps were evaluated using Highway Capacity Software (HCS) equivalent spreadsheet, while the intersections were analyzed usingthe Synchro traffic operations software, both of which applied the methodologies consistentwith Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 6th Edition. In addition to the LOS analysis, the vehicle hours of delay (VHD) analysis was conducted for 1-5 corridor from 1-405 to the San Diego County line, arterial and local roadways in South Orange County, and all the roadways (including freeways, toll roads, arterials and local roadways in South Orange County, and all the roadways (including freeways, toll roads, arterials and local roadways in South Orange County). A Step one ICE memorandum was prepared as part of the PSR/PDS for rarnp intersections which would anticipate physical oroperations improvements by the proposed project alternatives.

San Bernardino Country Transportation Authority,1-15 Express Lane Southern Extension (San Bernardino County, CA) Fehr & Peers was hired by RCTC to prepare the Traffic Operations Analysis Report (TOAR) forthe 1-15 Express Lanes Project Southern Extension (ELPSE) PA/ED analysis from Cpjalco Road to SR 74. The project is proposed to construct two express lanes in each direction on 1-15, from the end of the previously approved under construction express lanes near the Cajalco Road/1-15 Interchange in the City of Corona, to the SR 74 (Central Avenue)/1-15 Interchange in the City of Lake Elsinore. Fehr& Peers developed traffic simulation models for the study corridor and calibrated and validated the simulation model to existing conditions. INRIX speed data and Streetlight origin/destination (OD) data were used to assist in identifying travel patterns and potential managed lane users in the area. The validated simulation model will be used to develop the future year simulation models under both openingyear and design year conditions. In addition, Fehr& Peers will utilize a proprietary tool developed in-house to test the analysis results utilizing the microsimulation tool. Specifically, this tool is an automated process where different input parameters are modified to "proof" the analysis results. For example, Fehr & Peers could modify traffic volumes by plus or minus 5%,10%, or20%to determine how that would affect operations. This will test the sensitivity of the traffic operation results to the forecast volumes to provide greater confidence in the analysis results. Anna served asthe QA/QC lead working with the team to ensure the quality of our deliverables.

If such coverage is cancelled or reduced, Consultant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time. B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) calendar days' advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant's compensation. C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Consultant enters into contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review. Failure of City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any liability on City, or its employees. Consultant shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Consultant shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage, subcontractors shall provide coverage with a format at least as broad as Fehr & Peers Page C-3 CG 20 38 04 13. D. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder. E. Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available proceeds in excess of specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City. F. Self -Insured Retentions. Any self -insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self - insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these requirements unless approved by City. G. City Remedies for Non -Compliance. If Consultant or any subconsultant fails to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall have the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this Agreement, or to suspend Consultant's right to proceed until proper evidence of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall, at City's sole option, be deducted from amounts payable to Consultant or reimbursed by Consultant upon demand. H. Timely Notice of Claims. Consultant shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant's performance under this Contract, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City. Consultant's Insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Work.
