The City is a "DRS-covered employer" which is an organization that employs one or more members of
any retirement system administered by the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems
(DRS). Pursuant to RCW 41.50.139(1) and WAC 415-02-325(1), the City is required to elicit on a written
form if any of the Contractor's employees providing services to the City retired using the 2008 Early
Retirement Factors (ERFs), or if the Contractor is owned by an individual who retired using the 2008
ERFs, and whether the nature of the service and compensation would result in a retirement benefit
being suspended. Failure to make this determination exposes the City to significant liability for pension
overpayments. As a result, before commencing work under this Agreement, Contractor shall determine
whether any of its employees providing services to the City or any of the Contractor's owners retired
using the 2008 ERFs, and shall immediately notify the City and shall promptly complete the form
provided by the City after this notification is made. This notification to DRS could impact the payment
of retirement benefits to employees and owners of Contractor. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless the City from any and all claims, damages, or other liability, including attorneys' fees and
costs, relating to a claim by DRS of a pension overpayment caused by or resulting from Contractor's
failure to comply with the terms of this provision. This provision shall survive termination of this
Agreement.

maintaining a small but highly specialized team, we can quickly adapt to changing schedules and deadlines as
projects require.
We are currently developing the 2024 Port Orchard Transportation Element update. The travel demand and
intersection LOS analysis, transportation improvement project recommendations, and cost estimates which will
be part of the Transportation Element will lay the technical foundation for the impact fee rate study. Under our
existing contract with the City, Transportation Solutions has already completed a significant portion of the labor
required for a transportation impact fee update.
The March 31, 2025 completion date identified in the RFP should provide sufficient time from the adoption of
the Comprehensive Plan update to allow completion of the transportation impact fee rate study. It is likely that
the technical work of the Transportation Element will be completed well in advance of the adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan, allowing our team to begin work on the impact fee study well before 2025.

SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Transportation Element Updates and Impact Fee Rate Studies, City of Port Orchard
Our team developed the City's 2015 Transportation.
Element update and transportation impact fee rate
study. Our efforts involved the development and
calibration of a citywide travel demand (Visum) model
based on the Kitsap County regional demand model
_
-_ "
yr I
and an intersection LOS (Synchro/Sidra) model based
on aerial imagery, field observations, and traffic
'
counts. Our team worked with City staff to incorporate'
�-
short- and long-range land use forecasts to the travel

-
demand model and to generate corresponding_
-
intersection LOS forecasts. The intersection LOS
-
analysis identified existing and future Level of Service
deficiencies on the City's arterial street network. From
:. ,`=� r — �LL
these forecasts, TSI staff developed capital
improvement project recommendations and worked
Port Orchard 2023 Travel Demand Model Flow
with City staff to prepare planning -level cost estimates.
These improvement recommendations and cost estimates formed the basis for the financial plan in the
Transportation Element as well as a list of impact fee eligible projects and costs. The Transportation
Element and impact fee rate study were adopted by City Council.

In 2019, TSI supported the City by developing an updated transportation impact fee rate study and fee
schedule. This effort involved the recalibration of the citywide travel demand model and implementation
of updated development forecasts, including commercial rezoning along the Bethel Road and Sedgwick
Road corridors. The updated model also incorporated regional growth assumptions identified in the
WSDOT SR 16 — Tacoma Narrows Bridge to SR 3 Congestion Study (modeled by TSI) and the preferred
Bethel/Sedgwick corridor improvements identified in the Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road Corridor Study
(modeled by TSI). The traffic forecasts generated by the updated travel demand model were used to
update the citywide intersection LOS model and update the list of impact fee eligible transportation
improvement projects. The resulting impact fee study was adopted by City Council, allowing the City's
transportation impact fee rate to reflect Port Orchard's changing development patterns more closely.
Since 2015, Transportation Solutions has supported the City through on -call planning and engineering
services, development review, and transportation concurrency management. Our team maintains the
City's pipeline travel demand and intersection LOS models, which are used to monitor the cumulative
impact of development with each development application. This system allows the City to maintain
compliance with Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements and to "bridge the gap between long-
range planning and development review.
Our team is currently supporting the City's 2024 Transportation Element update. Our completed work
includes thorough updates and recalibration of the citywide travel demand and intersection LOS models
to reflect recent development, completed transportation improvement projects, post-COVID-19 travel
behavior, and advances in transportation analysis software and methods. Our team will be preparing
long-range travel demand forecasts and improvement recommendations which will form the basis for this
impact fee rate study and fee schedule update.
Transportation Element and Transportation Impact Fee Rate Study, City of Gig Harbor
Our team supported the City's 2014, 2017, and 2024
(ongoing) Transportation Element updates, providing
analysis and documentation to support each update
effort. TSI's technical work included development and
calibration of citywide travel demand models and
intersection LOS models. The 2024 model update effort
incorporated special consideration for post-COVID-19
trip generation and travel behavior patterns.
TSI prepared the City's 2014 transportation impact fee
rate study which was subsequently adopted by City
Council. The funding generated by the adopted
transportation impact fee contributed to the
engineering, design, and construction of the Harborview
Drive & Stinson Avenue roundabout, among other
projects.

Transportation Impact Fee Rate Study, Kitsap County
TSI developed the 2021 Kitsap County transportation
impact fee rate study. This involved an overhaul of the
County's travel demand model. The updated travel
demand model incorporated model architecture that TSI
had previously developed for the cities of Port Orchard,
Bremerton, Poulsbo, and Bainbridge Island, merging the
citywide models into a single countywide model. Our
team also created a data transfer procedure to link the
countywide travel demand model with a large
intersection LOS model which the County had maintained
separately. This data transfer process allowed linkage
between the County's planning and development review
efforts.

The County adopted the recommended impact fee rate,
which resulted in an increase from approximately $700 per new single-family dwelling unit to $4,300 per
new single-family dwelling unit.
Under a subsequent on -call contract, our team provided ongoing training and technical support to County
staff on the development and application of the countywide travel demand model. The model is currently
being applied to the 2024 Kitsap County Transportation Element update.

PROJECT APPROACH
The following section summarizes our proposed approach to the impact fee study and fee schedule. The
approach may be discussed and refined with City staff prior to contract execution.
Task 1. Project Kickoff and Coordination
Transportation Solutions staff will coordinate a kickoff meeting with City staff to discuss project vision
and objectives. The kickoff meeting will include discussion of TSI's past impact fee rate study efforts and
discussion of City staff's experience with the current transportation impact fee program structure,
including feedback received from the public, elected officials, and the development community. The
kickoff meeting will also include a recap of work performed for the Transportation Element update,
including project recommendations and cost estimates.
Task 2. Review Project Recommendations and Cost Estimates
Transportation Solutions is currently developing long-range transportation improvement project
recommendations and planning -level cost estimates under our ongoing Transportation Element update
contract with the City. In this task, we will review the final transportation improvement project list and
cost estimates and identify impact fee eligible projects based on state requirements. Transportation
Solutions will also work with City staff to confirm the suitability of planning -level cost estimates
identified in the Transportation Element.
Task 3. Calculate Transportation Impact Fee
Using the citywide travel demand and intersection operations models as well as the project list and cost
estimates identified in Task 2, our team will calculate the growth -related and impact -fee -eligible share
of each project. The methodology for determining the growth -related share will be driven by the
proportion of new trips on each improvement project relative to existing travel demand.
A preliminary per -trip transportation impact fee rate will be calculated as the total impact -fee -eligible
share of project cost divided by the total number of new weekday PM peak hour trips anticipated to occur
by 2044, based on the Transportation Element travel demand forecast.
As part of this task, Transportation Solutions will calculate the revenue implications of excluding a portion
of the City, such as downtown Port Orchard, from the transportation impact fee program consistent with
RCW 82.02060. This will allow the City to consider implementation of a zone -based impact fee program,
similar to Kitsap County and other agencies.
The preliminary per -trip impact fee rate will be refined as needed to account for the McCormick PUD
Development Agreement and, if necessary, to consider potential grant funding opportunities. The growth -
related cost of completed improvement projects may also be incorporated into the impact fee rate
calculation.
This task will produce a menu of transportation impact fee rate options for City consideration. These
options could be presented to City Council for review and discussion before proceeding to Task 4.

Task 4. Prepare Impact Fee Rate Study Report
Document impact fee methods, assumptions, findings, and recommended impact fee rate in a technical
report to City staff. Develop a comparison of the proposed impact fee rate to current transportation
impact fee rates at other agencies in Western Washington.
Transportation Solutions will deliver a draft report to City staff review prior to any public presentation.
The impact fee rate study report will be finalized after incorporating staff and City Council comments, as
necessary.
Task 5. Develop Impact Fee Schedule
Update the transportation impact fee rate schedule based on the new per -trip rate identified in Task 3,
utilizing the latest available trip generation rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers
Trip Generation Manual. Transportation Solutions staff will work with City staff to identify any new uses
which should be added to the impact fee rate schedule as well as any obsolete uses that may be
removed.
Task 6. Meetings and Public Involvement
Present preliminary and final impact fee rate study findings to City Council or other public meetings, as
necessary. This task assumes TSI staff will attend up to three public meetings related to the impact fee
rate study and fee schedule. These may include in -person attendance.
Transportation Solutions staff will also support City with public outreach related to the impact fee rate
update. This may include the preparation of public presentation materials, responding to questions from
the public or development community, or providing other support as necessary.
Task 7. Project Management and Administration
Prepare regular status reports and project cost invoices. Execute ongoing administrative tasks.
