Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
City Traffic Engineer
3300 Newport Boulevard
Newport Beach, California
Dear Mr. Jaffe:
Based on our previous study outline submitted in April of this year
and your recent discussions with Mr. Sokol, we have prepared alternate
proposals for urban studies in the various communities comprising the City
of Newport Beach. The proposals are for (1) a traffic planning and oper-
ation study of roads, streets, and parking facilities serving the communities
located in the western sections of the city, i. e. , Newport Island, Lido Isle,
Lido Peninsula, Central Newport, Old Newport, West Newport, and Balboa
Peninsula; (2) a parking financial feasibility study for the commercial area
located along the Coast Highway in the Corona del Mar section of the city;
and (3) a traffic operations study of Corona del Mar roads and streets. The
scope of work, data collection, method of analysis, report contents,
schedule and fee for each study is discussed below.
TRAFFIC PLANNINGe PARKING, AND OPERATIONS STUDY
Communities of Lido, Newport and Balboa Peninsula
Scope of Work
Wilbur Smith and Associates will undertake a traffic planning and
operations study in sections of the City of Newport Beach located south of
the Coast Highway between the Santa Ana River and the West Lido Channel
and including Lido Isle and the entire Balboa Peninsula. This study would
form the basis for refining and improving the city's Master Street and Highway
Plan or otherwise insure that the assumptions and conclusions made therein
are still valid in terms of the needs of the city's other transport elements.
In making this study we will conduct an inventory of existing travel demands,
determine the sufficiency of existing transport and terminal facilities, prepare
estimates of future (1990) traffic demands and test the ability of the city's
Master Street and Highway Plan and existing parking facilities to accommodate
these demands, and develop a street and parking improvement program designed
to meet future needs.
xIIft
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 2 September 13, 1966
Construction and related traffic improvement proposals may include
street widenings of major and minor proportions, new street extensions, peak -
hour and full -time parking prohibitions, median islands, channelization with
pavement markings and /or physical improvements, grade separations, traffic
signals, turn prohibitions, one -way streets, one -way couplets, or other
techniques approved by the city.
The impact on future traffic and parking needs created by an increase or
decrease in zoning densities will also be examined.
Collection of Data
It is understood that the City of Newport Beach will supply existing and
projected land use in the study area as well as all available traffic counts,
aerial photographs, base maps, and any previous reports or inventories dealing
with the area. The land -use information should be on a block -by -block basis
and include population and employment statistics, dwelling units in residential
areas, and square feet of floor area and retail sales in areas having other basic
land -use classifications. Information related to beaches and yacht harbors
should include the capacity of beach facilities, e.g. , size of beach in length
and breadth, number of fire pits, number of bathhouses, etc., and the number
of boat berths. If public boat launching facilities are available, their location,
capacity in boat size, and daily summertime usage should be identified. Where
applicable, we will employ planning data the California Division of Highways
developed for use in traffic studies of the area they recently completed.
If not otherwise provided by the City, we propose to
1, inventory the existing parking capacity of the study area on a block -
by -block basis, (the inventory would include legal curb spaces, public off -
street stalls, and private off - street stalls except those located on residential
property);
2, inventory the existing major street system, (information on curb
usage and regulations, signal locations and timing, street geometrics, right -
of -way and pavement widths and profiles, would be used to determine current
street capacities);
3, obtain peak -hour turning movement traffic counts at selected locations,
(these counts will be adjusted to a summer peak hour and used in conjunction
with other available traffic data to determine existing traffic flow patterns);
4, conduct travel time studies along the major streets within the study
area during peak and off -peak travel periods; and
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 3
September 13, 1966
5. prepare an accident spot map from information on severity and
location of accidents obtained during a recent one -year period. We under-
stand these data are currently on hand in the form of report summaries and
collision diagrams.
We would also interview a sample of!paikers to determine the zone of
influence of the beach and harbor facilities. Information pertaining to the
parker's home address, trip purpose, destination, length of time parked and
fee paid would be secured. These data would serve as a base for projecting
future recreational demands.
Analysis of Data
Aerial photographs, official city records and supplemental field surveys
will be used in preparing an inventory of roadway and terminal facilities;
average daily traffic volumes obtained from traffic data already available and
supplemented where necessary by proposed field studies will be used to
prepare an inventory of current traffic demands. The average daily traffic
flow will be related to the inventory of existing roads and streets to identify
present -day street capacity deficiencies. The results of travel time and
accident studies will aid in establishing other areas of concern not otherwise
identified. Estimates of current parking demands derived from the interview
of parkers will be compared with the inventory of parking spaces to determine
current parking deficiencies.
Current patterns of traffic and parking demands will be synthesized from
land -use and population data provided by the city's planning department. The
gravity principle originally formulated by Isaac Newton will be the basis for
the traffic model employed in this synthesis. Mathematically, in terms of
travel, this concept takes the form
Ti -j = Pi Aj Ri -j
where Ti -j = Trips produced at i and attracted to j
Pi = Total trips produced at i
Aj = Total trips attracted to j
Ri -j = Trip distribution rate which reflects the effect
of spatial separation between i and j
i and j = zones within the study area generally
delineated by homogeneous land use, travel
barriers, and /or political boundaries
(The spatial separation of each pair of zones will be
measured in terms of the minimum travel time needed
to negotiate the street and /or highway routes that
connect the zones.)
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 4 September 13, 1966
Typical trip generation rates will be used in residential areas to
determine travel demands produced "at the home" (Pi),parking demands "at
destination" (Aj) will be prepared from current information on commercial
development and estimates of employment in the study area. Trip distribu-
tion rates (Ri -j) that are commensurate with the size, density and general
geographic location of the study area will be used to distribute these
demands. The resultant pattern of desires will be assigned to the existing
system of streets and tested against the traffic flow pattern developed from
observed data.
The traffic model described by these generation and distribution rates
and calibrated as needed to assure its ability to accurately synthesize
patterns of traffic activity from known economic and land -use statistics will
be used to develop patterns of future traffic desires from estimates of future
land -use and economic activity. These patterns will then be assigned to the
city's existing Master Street and Highway Plan and related parking facilities
to test their ability to satisfy the travel demands expected in the future.
Based on the results of the subsequent analyses, a major improvement program
for arterial and collector streets (not minor streets) and parking will be dev-
eloped. Particular attention will be given to the following items (recommend-
ations for or against their inclusion in the improvement program will be made):
1. Widening of the Arches overcrossing and bridge and revisions to the
Arches ramps. (This item is being studied by the California State Highway
Department and the results of their studies will be included in the report.)
2. Need for, and configuration of structure to separate left turns from
Newport Boulevard to Via Lido, and /or need for, and configuration of structure
to separate left turns from Newport Boulevard to 32nd Street eastbound.
3. Widening of 32nd Street between Lafayette and Newport Boulevards,
and between Newport and Balboa Boulevards.
4. Widening of Lafayette and 28th Streets northeasterly of Newport
Boulevard, and internal circulation pattern for Lancaster Addition area.
5. Access from Newport Boulevard to Lido Peninsula and Lido Isle areas.
6. Configuration of intersection complexes at Via Lido - Lafayette -
32nd Street, and at Lafayette - 32nd Street - Lido Park Drive. (31st Street)
7. Width of Lido Park Drive,
8. Future signal locations and types on Balboa Boulevard from Coast
Highway to 23rd Street;
9. Modifications to existing signals on Newport Boulevard from Via Lido
to 28th Street;
• •
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 5 September 13, 1966
10. Need for widening of Balboa Boulevard from Coast Highway to
32nd Street;
11. Modifications to channelization and /or need for signalization at
the intersection of Balboa and Newport Bouelvards;
12. Need for and configuration of a grade separation structure at the
intersection of Balboa and Newport Boulevards;
13. Need for a traffic signal at Balboa Boulevard and 15th Street;
14. In the area from Adams Street to Main Street, the need for a traffic
signal and /or street widening on one or more of the streets crossing Balboa
Boulevard and establishment of a local circulation pattern;
15. Need for widening of Bay Avenue;
16. Need for extension of Bay Avenue;
17. Need for establishment of one -way street patterns, and parking
prohibitions in areas of the peninsula having restricted traffic access and
circulation elements;
18. Establishment of a local circulation pattern in the Newport Pier
area, from McFadden to 28th Street;
19. Possible street connection (bridge or tunnel) between Balboa
Peninsula Point and mainland;
20. Need for development of additional circulation capacity along the
peninsula.
Reports and Schedule
We will prepare a comprehensive report covering our findings and
recommendations, illustrated with pertinent drawings and charts. It will
include:
1. Tabulation and results of analyses;
2. A description of the form and calibration of the traffic model employed
in forecasting future travel demands;
3. Recommendations for construction and /or improvement of streets and
parking facilities;
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 6 September 13, 1966
4. Recommendations for traffic engineering improvements;
5. A designation of high - priority improvements needed to overcome
current deficiencies; other improvements needed to meet deficiencies likely
to develop between 1966 and the design year 1990 will also be designated.
Six copies of the draft report will be submitted, initially, for review
purposes; 50 copies of the final report will be submitted following conference
regarding the findings and conclusions.
It is anticipated that we could begin the study within a week following
written authorization to proceed and submit our draft report five months there-
after.
Fee
We propose to undertake the work specified herein for a fee of $16,400
to be paid us upon completion of this report and its receipt by the City.
Special Provisions
1. It is agreed that the City will provide estimates of market value on
selected properties within the areas studied as requested by Wilbur Smith and
Associates, and unit costs for street improvements in a form suitable for
preparing cost estimates.
2. An experienced principal engineer will be assigned to this study and
have general responsibility for its progress. Mr. Donald A. Sokol of our San
Francisco office will be project manager.
3. We:wili be available for necessary meetings and discussions during
the progress of the work, such as may be requested by the City. A letter report
on study progress will be submitted on a monthly basis. Upon completion of
the preliminary report in either phase, we will be available for not more than
two formal meetings for final report presentations.
4. Cost of additional work will be billed at our regular per diem and
hourly rates if analyses of additional plans or requirements for additional
meetings cause our charges to exceed the fee cited.
5. If the project is not completed within 6 months after the scheduled
completion date (due to no fault of Wilbur Smith and Associates) our fee
schedule effective as of that date will apply for all work done after that date,
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 7 September 13, 1966
irrespective of the fee stipulated. Renegotiation of the fee to the satisfaction
of both parties may be required. This provision is necessary to account for
increased costs due to unforeseen delays in project completion (not our fault)
by outside sources, as well as possible future revision of study scope after
a reasonable period.
The federal government has recognized in the Federal Aid Highway Act
of 1962 the need for a community to coordinate its transportation plan with
other planning goals and objectives. It also recognizes the need to update
the basic transportation plan periodically, as population and land -use
projections are adjusted and delays or changes in the implementation of the
transportation plan develop. The design of the traffic model described herein,
and calibrated as required, will permit the easy re- evaluation of future traffic
and parking requirements created by these changes and adjustments. It is
merely a matter of making the appropriate changes in the model input - -in trip
generation as it is affected by adjustments in population, land -use and economic
activity, and in travel time (spatial separation) as it is affected by changes in
the proposed street and highway network.
Based on our past experience in supplying other communities with
engineering services to satisfy these continuing needs, we estimate the cost
to complete each new test to be in the range of $1,500- $3,500. However,
the fee for each test would depend on the scope of work, the type and number
of variations in input, the amount of work done by the City and the prevailing
cost schedule for services at the time negotiations are initiated.
PARKING FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
Corona del Mar
Scope of Work
Wilbur Smith and Associates will prepare a long -range parking improve-
ment program, including financial feasibility estimates for the commercial
area located along the Coast Highway in Corona del Mar section of the City.
We will indicate desirable curb parking changes; location, capacities, and
operational characteristics for needed new off - street facilities (including
functional designs); a staged program of construction; anticipated costs and
revenues; a financial feasibility of each recommended facility, for a 10 -year
period to 1977. The locations suggested in the Corona del Mar Study prepared
by Murton Willson and Associates would be evaluated and any needed
revisions made, as indicated by study results.
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 8 September 13, 1966
The study area would include sections of Corona del Mar, bounded
generally by Second Avenue and Fifth Avenue between MacArthur Boulevard
and Heliotrope Avenue; by Third Avenue and Bayside Drive between Heliotrope
and Marguerite Avenues; and by Second Avenue and Seaview between
Marguerite Avenue and Buck Gulley.
Collection of Data
Considerable collection and analysis of new data will be required to
provide a sound basis for parking facility financial feasibility estimates, of
the quality required for revenue bond or assessment district purposes. Field
studies will consist of:
1. Completing a total parking space inventory, including capacities,
operational features, rates, etc.
2. Interview of parkers, both curb and off - street to determine their
origins, destinations, and trip purpose. Walking distances, duration and
time of parking, and other pertinent facts concerning parking characteristics
are also obtained through this method. This information would be secured by
a crew of interviewers who would question parkers at curbs and in off - street
parking facilities. Also, persons parking outside the study area and walking
in would be interviewed at a cordon line around the district, to assure obtain-
ing complete information on total parking demand generated by the district.
A 40- to 50- percent sample of all those parking during a typical business day
will be interviewed. Each interview takes approximately 40 seconds, and
through this process, accurate data are obtained essential to reliable estimates
of parking demand and characteristics.
3. Curb and off - street parking accumulation counts and license checks
to supplement the interview studies as an aid in measuring the intensity and
character of parking activity. Such studies will include any areas surround -..
ing the parking district, all -day parkers, and where people park and walk into
the parking district. Such information will be collected to show the parking
demands at periods of night openings of stores, on Saturdays, and on other
days or at other periods of special significance. These data are necessary
for accurate estimates of parking facility usage. Commercial vehicle usage
of the curb and information on all -day parking will each be segregated and
analyzed.
4. Analysis of street traffic volumes to determine the capacity of
streets in relation to traffic loads which might be generated by off - street park-
ing facilities. In this regard, particular attention will be given to the relation-
ship of volumes and capacities of streets in the establishment of policies and
recommendations for controlling or eliminating curb parking.
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 9
Analyses of Data
11
September 13, 1966
Parker interview data will be coded as to zones of origin and destination,
duration of parking, purpose of trip, time of day, walking distance, etc. ,
punched into tabulating cards, and analyzed by mechanical or electronic data -
processing equipment to disclose all important characteristics of current park-
ing demand within each city block and generated by selected buildings. (Actual
demand within a block cannot be ascertained by studying locations of parked
cars. It must be determined on the basis of interviewing parkers as to their
actual destinations, regardless of where they parked.)
Parking demand, block -by- block, will be compared with capacity, to
disclose current deficiencies and surpluses in spaces, classified separately
by short-time and long -time parkers. This provides the means for determining
current numbers of parking spaces needed at any location, and the probable use
of such spaces. Demand turnover is assigned to each parking site, on a formula
basis, taking account of walking distance and competing sites, to obtain the
estimate of probable use.
Existing and projected future land uses and building characteristics will
be related to current parking demands to develop estimated future demand in
each block. Trends in population, motor vehicle ownership and usage, and
travel mode will be fully examined with respect to effect on parking needs.
Analyses will be made of the relation of building floor areas to the generation
of parking demand, as revealed by total parking actually generated by selected
buildings in the district. Such data are needed to predict impact of further
development and are useful in considering zoning requirements for parking in
connection with new construction.
The foregoing data will permit reliable estimation of patronage of
additional parking facilities at different locations, where deficiencies are
shown to exist, present or future.
Analysis will include the need for prohibition of curb parking to provide
needed traffic capacity.
Report and Schedule
A report will be submitted, including findings, conclusions, estimates,
and recommendations, to include:
1. Tabulations and results of analyses;
2. Current parking demands and space needs;
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 11 September 13, 1966
5. If the project is not completed within 6 months after the scheduled
completion date (due to no fault of Wilbur Smith and Associates) our fee
schedule, effective as of that date, will apply for all work done after that
date, irrespective of the fee stipulated. Renegotiation of the fee to the
satisfaction of both parties may be required. This provision is necessary to
account for increased costs due to unforeseen delays in project completion
(not our fault) by outside sources, as well as possible future revision of
study scope after a reasonable period.
6. An experienced principal engineer will be assigned to this study,
and have general responsibility for its progress. Mr. Donald A. Sokol, of
our San Francisco office, will be project manager.
TRAFFIC OPERATIONS STUDY
Corona del Mar
Scope of Work
In conjunction with the parking financial f. easibility study outlined
above, Wilbur Smith and Associates Will undertake a traffic operations study of
the existing Corona del Mar street system contained within the city limits
east of Jamboree Road and north of Newport Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Based
on this study, we will recommend revisions in traffic patterns, additions and
deletions of traffic regulations, and changes in traffic controls as may be
found necessary to improve traffic conditions in the immediate future. A
specific program of improvement, directed to the best use of the existing
streets, will be outlined for immediate implementation.
Improvement proposals may include such items as parking and turn
prohibitions, stop and yield control, traffic signals, pavement markings, inter-
section treatment to include channelization or incidental widening, one -way
street usage, and new street extensions, e.g., the possible penetration of
Bayside Drive west of Marguerite Avenue.
Being operational in nature, the scope of this study will not include
detailed investigation of such matters as freeway alignment, freeway inter-
change locations, or needs for major arterial additions to the system, however,
general observations and conclusions reached during the course of study will
be stated.
The conclusions and recommendations arising from this study will in all
respects be compatible with the parking financial feasibility report prepared
forthe Corona del Mar Business District.
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe
Page 12 September 13, 1966
Collection-of Data
It is understood that the City of Newport Beach will supply all available
traffic volume counts, speed studies, previous reports or inventories dealing
with the area.
If not otherwise provided, we will inventory the existing major street
system, obtain peak -hour turning movement counts at selected locations,
conduct travel time studies as needed, and prepare an accident spot map
based on currently available data.
Report and Schedule
This report will be a separate and distinct section, bound and presented
together with the final parking financial feasibility report described above.
Six draft copies of this section, containing findings, conclusions, and recom-
mendations relating to optimum usage of the Corona del. Mar street system,
will be submitted for review. Pertinent drawings and charts will be included.
Upon completion of discussions with the City staff regarding findings and con-
clusions, the final draft of this section will be included in the final parking
financial feasibility report and submitted accordingly.
Fee
Because of the interdependent nature of the two studies, we would under-
take this work, as outlined and in conjunction with the Parking Financial
Feasibility Study, for a fee of $2, 300.
Special Provisions
1. The engineering services specified will be undertaken as outlined
for the fee stipulated. if the work is authorized in conjunction with work to be
undertaken in the parking financial feasibility study.
2. All other special provisions outlined in the parking financial feasibility
study proposal would also apply to this proposal.
Although their objectives differ, these studies are similar in size, cost
and duration and overlaps in certain areas, thus, certain economies can be
derived by conducting them simultaneously.
Mr. Robert L. Jaffe

SUBJECT: Progress Report #8 - City of Newport Beach, California
This is our eighth progress report on the various studies we are
conducting for the City of Newport Beach. The work carried out last month
has been primarily concerned with completing the parking study for current
conditions on Balboa Peninsula and in completing the preliminary report for
current conditions on the peninsula and in the Corona Del Mar area.
Traffic Planning, Parking and Operations - Balboa Peninsula
Five chapters of the preliminary report for the traffic planning,
operations and parking studies have been completed and copies have been
forwarded to the City Staff for their review.
This section of the report will contain seven chapters in all, and
the five that have been completed contain a description of the studies and
analyses of current conditions, together with tabulations and maps illustrat-
ing the findings.
Concerning the parking study for Balboa Peninsula, Lido Isle, and
Lido Peninsula, the inventory shows that there are a total of approximately
12, 000 legal parking spaces in the study area; some 7,500 of these at curb-
side and the remaining 4,500 located in off - street lots.
The analysis shows that there are a total of 28, 000 parker destina-
tions in the study area between 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. during the summer,
with a peak space demand for 7,715 spaces occuring about midday. Overall
there is a surplus of parking in the study area with the majority of this sur-
plus being located at curbside on Lido Isle, at the eastern end of Balboa
Peninsula and on the large beach lot adjacent to Balboa Pier. During peak
periods there are no surpluses in space in the downtown core area, the
Balboa Pier business district, or the McFadden Place area.
Traffic Operations and Parking - Corona Del Mar
The section of the report for Corona Del Mar will contain six chap-
ters describing the results of our studies relating to traffic operations and
parking. Copies of the preliminary report containing five chapters of our
findings on current conditions together with tabulations and maps have been
forwarded to the City Staff for review.
Concerning the parking study, analyses show that there are approxi-
mately 8,800 parker destinations in the commercial area between 9:00 A.M.
and 5:00 P. M. , with a peak demand for an overall 1, 225 spaces about mid-
day during the summer. There are 5 blocks within the district having
deficiencies in parking space, 18 blocks where the deficiencies or surpluses
are less than 10 spaces and 6 blocks where there are sizable surpluses in
parking space.
The work to be completed includes projections of future traffic
and parking demands together with development of a program of improvements
designed to meet future needs.

SUBJECT: Progress Report #7 - City of Newport Beach, California
This is our seventh progress report on the various studies we
are conducting for the City of Newport Beach. The work carried out last
month has been primarily concerned with the completion of the traffic
model simulating current summer conditions and the analyses of traffic
operations for both the Balboa Peninsula and the Corona Del Mar area.
Traffic Planning, Parking and Operations - Newport Beach and Peninsula
The development of the traffic model simulating current condi-
tions has been completed. Tabulations of zonal trip distributions, the
two -way network volumes, and vehicular miles of travel are now available.
The results of the 1967 synthetic O -D distribution are listed in the accom-
panying Table B. Table 7 shows the vehicular trip summary for the two
categories of general purpose and recreation. The production and attract-
ion trip ends and the internal and external trips are indicated for both the
home -based and non home -based purposes.
To verify the accuracy of the model for trip distribution appli-
cations, daily motor vehicle traffic crossing several screenlines in the
study area was counted and compared with the theoretical crossings from
the synthesized O -D data,, . In general the two
sets of screenline values differed by zero to 14 percent, thus supporting
the validity of the model for estimation of future travel patterns. The
screenline comparisons are listed in the accompanying Table 9.
The traffic operations study for the Balboa Peninsula has been
largely completed. A preliminary report has been prepared, discussing
various operational aspects of the major streets, traffic capacity and
volumes, right -of -way and pavement widths, traffic control and regula-
tions, travel speeds, accident experience, and the preliminary findings
with regard to street circulation and improvements on the Peninsula.
Traffic Operations and Parking - Corona Del Mar
The traffic operations study for the Corona Del Mar area has
been largely completed. A preliminary report has been prepared discuss-
ing operational aspects of the major streets, traffic characteristics, the
circulation element, and including a description of major street improve-
ments. Concerning the parking study for Corona Del Mar, the field
studies conducted by the City have been analyzed. From this information
and other data such as retail sales and increases in summer traffic volumes,
a summer factor has been established for use in determining the need for
and financial feasibility of constructing additional parking facilities in the
commercial district.
Meeting August 4, 1967
On. Friday, August 4, 1967, Mr. Dellaway visited the City of
Newport Beach to review the progress of the work with personnel of the
City Engineer's Department and the Planning Department. Valuable dis-
cussions were held and ideas exchanged relating to the whole project.
Preliminary reports were submitted covering traffic operations for the
Balboa Peninsula and Corona Del Mar area, together with tabulations and
maps. These are presently being reviewed by the city personnel. The
attached sheets list the various tabulations and maps which were discuss-
ed during the meeting.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC AND PARKING STUDIES CONTRACT
RECOMMENDATION:
• JULY 24, 1967
APPROVE A THREE MONTH EXTENSION OF TIME FOR COMPLETION OF
THE CONTRACT FOR TRAFFIC AND PARKING STUDIES BEING CON-
DUCTED BY WILBUR SMITH AND ASSOCIATES.
DISCUSSION:
OUR TRAFFIC CONSULTANT HAS REQUESTED, IN THE ATTACHED LETTER, THAT THE
TIME FOR COMPLETION OF HIS STUDIES BE EXTENDED UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER.
THE STATED REASONS, AS SUMMARIZED, ARE REASONABLE. OUR'PLANNANG
DEPARTMENT HAS UNDERGONE A COMPLETE CHANGE OF KEY PERSONNEL SINCE THIS TRAFFIC
STUDY WAS INITIATED. COMPILATION OF LAND USE INFORMATION WAS FOUND BY THE NEW
PLANNING STAFF TO REQUIRE FAR MORE TIME THAN ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED BY THE FORMER
STAFF.
THE STATISTICAL AND LAND USE DATA SUPPLIED TO THE CONSULTANT ARE ALSO
OF A MORE COMPLETE NATURE THAN ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. THIS FACT WILL ADD CON-
SIDERABLY TO'THE VALUE OF THE FINAL REPORT.
THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT DATE COULD BE MET; BUT, AT A DECREASE IN THE DEPTH
OF STUDY AND ANLYSIS. ON THE BASES OF THE LONG RANGE BENEFITS TO THE CITY, THE
CONTRACT EXTENSION IS RECOMMENDED.

Newport Beach, California
Dear Bob:
With reference to our letter dated May 10, 1967 and subsequent discussions
concerning our traffic and parking study for the City of Newport Beach, we
have reviewed project progress and the remaining analysis to be completed.
It appears that an extension of contract time of three months to November 27,
1967 will be required for completion of the work and submission of a review
draft of the final report.
This extension will be needed to accommodate delays experienced on the
project to date due to several factors not originally contemplated, including
the time required for assembly of statistical and land use inputs to the traffic
model and the desirability of obtaining additional data for peak conditions
crucial to evaluation of traffic needs.
Because of these factors, we feel that the best interests of the City would be
served by the proposed extension of the contract time. Under such a schedule
the remaining analysis can be accomplished and the final report fully developed
to our mutual satisfaction. Accordingly, we respectfully request that an
extension of time to November 27, 1967 be granted for completion of the study
and submission of the report for review.
Very truly your ,
