BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Over the past several months, Public Works received requests to address speeding and
other traffic operations concerns at various locations in the City. To address those
complaints, Staff needs to engage a traffic engineering consultant to collect and analyze
1
traffic, roadway, and roadside data for each complaint area; collect input from nearby
residents and stakeholders to better understand the traffic concerns; then develop a
traffic calming plan to address the issues.
To engage a traffic engineering consultant, Staff released a Request for Proposals
(RFP) on February 11, 2021, (using the new RFP template) to multiple traffic consulting
firms. This was done after receiving input from the Traffic Safety Committee, which
recommended proceeding with traffic studies, and expanding the scope of the
Hawthorne Blvd analysis. On March 5, 2021, Public Works received three proposals.
Based on the evaluation criteria included in the RFP. KOA received the best evaluation
score and was the selected consultant. Table 1 summarizes the evaluation scoring
sheet from the proposals.
Table 1- RFP for Traffic Calming Plan
Staff met with KOA to discuss the project and refined the scope of services based on
the RFP and negotiated their fee proposal based on the final scope of service s agreed
upon by both the City and the consultant (Attachment B). The total fee for all services
identified is in the amount not-to-exceed $89,636.

A-11
01203.0006/695867.1 EQG 11
(c) Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be
primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required
to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination
of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or
be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-
contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall
be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
(d) City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required
under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced,
City has the right but not the duty to obtain and continuously maintain the insurance it deems
necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will
withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City
may cancel this Agreement.
(e) Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance
company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance
or that is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an
assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger)

the City’s Risk Manager.
(f) Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured
pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or
appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow
Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to
waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery
against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of
its subconsultants.
(g) Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform
Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the
City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
(h) 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 the higher limits maintained
by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits
of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
(i) Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or
broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for
A-12
01203.0006/695867.1 EQG 12
nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each
required coverage.
(j) Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be
endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers
shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any
excess/umbrella liability policies.
(k) Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages
required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting
endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
(l) Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for
all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured
against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of
liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
(m) Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants,
subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in
the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements
required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes
all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements
of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants,
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
(n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. 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 the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change
results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate
Consultant’s compensation.
(o) 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
specifications unless approved by City.

notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance
under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required
liability policies.

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.

To the full extent permitted by law, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will
hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial,
administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs,
penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein “claims
or liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in
connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein
of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or
entity for which Consultant is legally liable (“indemnitors”), or arising from Consultant’s or
indemnitors’ reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Consultant’s or indemnitors’
negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this
Agreement, and in connection therewith:
(a) Consultant will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any
of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and
attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith;
(b) Consultant will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its
officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection
with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of
Consultant hereunder; and Consultant agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and
employees harmless therefrom;

any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Consultant for such damages or other claims
arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work,
operation or activities of Consultant hereunder, Consultant agrees to pay to the City, its officers,
agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or
employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorneys’
fees.
Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if
it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and
failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This
indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or
omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional
services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring
as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence,
except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities
arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The
indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

Consultant shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of
accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies or other documents relating to the

records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Consultant’s business,

Consultant’s successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Consultant shall fully
cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is
made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records
Act.

Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports
concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer
shall require. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost
of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant
agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that
may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein
or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant
shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the
estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design
services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.

computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”)
prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this
Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the
Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim
for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full
rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any
use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of
uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the
City’s sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant’s guarantee and warranties
shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such
documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein.
All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared
by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify
A-15
01203.0006/695867.1 EQG 15
City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Consultant with respect to any documents
and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such
documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.
6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) All information gained or work product produced by Consultant in
performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the
public domain or already known to Consultant. Consultant shall not release or disclose any such
information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written
authorization from the Contract Officer.
(b) Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not,
without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City
Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at
depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed
under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary”
provided Consultant gives City notice of such court order or subpoena.
(c) If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of
Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City
shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and
fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant’s conduct.
(d) Consultant shall promptly notify City should Consultant, its officers,
employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice
of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery
request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work
performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be
present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully
with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests
provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean
the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to
performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions
concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be
instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other
appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District
Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los
Angeles, State of California.
A-16
01203.0006/695867.1 EQG 16
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall
not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed
after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the
reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the
default. This timeframe is fifteen (15) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if
circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold
all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the
alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding
invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take
necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City
to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s
legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant
(whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in
dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or
damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by
reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s
obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount
or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear
to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for
interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of
City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of
the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any
party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other
provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of
the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by
a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a
waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of
any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party
of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or
A-17
01203.0006/695867.1 EQG 17
different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in
equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel
specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain
any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections
905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided
in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this
Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant,
except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be
such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. Upon receipt of any notice of
termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be
specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for
all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services
authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation
or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the
event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the
Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Party.
If termination is due to the failure of the other Party to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement:
(a) City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work
and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable
to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the
compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate
such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off
or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
(b) Consultant may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, terminate the
Agreement upon written notice to the City‘s Contract Officer. Consultant shall be entitled to
payment for all work performed up to the date of termination.

action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such
A-18
01203.0006/695867.1 EQG 18
action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or
equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s
fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other
reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other
necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be
deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or
not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION
8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.
No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any
successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which
may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the
terms of this Agreement.
8.2 Conflict of Interest.
Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall

Agreement. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person
having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor

orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class in the performance of

SCOPE OF WORK
KOA proposes to complete the project within the 6-month schedule anticipated in the RFP. The flow chart
below depicts the rough sequence of events and activities to be completed from month to month for
each of the six (6) traffic calming plan projects:
Proposed 6-month Flow Chart and Milestones for Traffic Calming Plans
TRAFFIC CALMING PLAN 1 – PACIFIC VIEW NEIGHBORHOOD
BACKGROUND
The City has identified the need to study
reported traffic safety concerns on
Verde Ridge Road and Locklenna Lane
in the Pacific View community. Verde
Ridge Road and Locklenna Lane are

BACKGROUND
The City has identified the need to
study reported traffic safety
concerns on Hawthorne
Boulevard, particularly in the
southbound/westbound direction,
between Verde Ridge Road and
Palos Verdes Drive West.
Hawthorne Boulevard is an 8-foot
wide, four-lane roadway with a
raised median along most of its
length, and serves as a key arterial
in the City. The roadway is further
characterized by median
breaks/turn pockets at
intersections, Class II (on-street
striped) bike lanes, and a steep
grade to the south which slopes
downward continuously along the 2.71-mile length between Verde Ridge Road and Palos Verdes Drive
West. There are also a total of four (4) signalized intersections within the study area, located on
Hawthorne Boulevard at Crest Road, Dupre Drive, Vallon Drive, and Palos Verdes Drive West. KOA will

Subject: Proposal for Traffic Calming Plans for the Pacific View Neighborhood, Hawthorne
Boulevard between Palos Verdes Drive W. and Verde Ridge Road,
Hawthorne/Ravenspur, Avenida Classica, Fond Du Lac Road and La Rotonda Drive
Dear Mr. Lopez:
Thank you for meeting with KOA Corporation (KOA) to discuss the scope of work for developing traffic
calming plans for the subject locations throughout the City. Please review our scope of work provided
below to perform the required services for this Project, as well as the following revised fee estimate. Let
us know if you have any questions or comments regarding this letter proposal.
Project Understanding and KOA Approach
Our proposed approach involves analyzing the existing conditions and collecting data; developing
industry-proven traffic calming countermeasures to address the issues; and working with residents,
citizens and the City’s Traffic Safety Committee to ensure that these solutions are supported by the
community at-large and fit the local context of Rancho Palos Verdes. In addition to conducting on-site
field walks, measurements and observations, we will collect speed data and traffic volume counts as a
baseline measure in order to justify our ideas and recommendations.
Studies to incorporate into the Plan include collision analyses, sight distance studies, ball-bank analyses
for curvature speed recommendations, and various “warrant” analyses to determine the appropriateness
of certain traffic control devices and traffic calming elements. Ultimately, a set of traffic calming plans will
be developed and vetted through multiple outreach meetings with local stakeholders and the Traffic
Safety Committee (TSC) for final City Council approval. The traffic calming plans will be prepared for the
following locations:
Hawthorne Boulevard between Palos Verdes Drive West and Verde Ridge Road
The Pacific View Neighborhood – Verde Ridge Road and Locklenna Lane
Hawthorne Boulevard at Ravenspur Drive (West/East)
Avenida Classica between Crest Road and Los Verdes Drive;
Fond Du Lac Road between Basswood Avenue and Littlebrow Road; and
La Rotonda Drive between Palos Verdes Drive South and its southwesterly terminus

SCOPE OF WORK
KOA proposes to complete the project within the 6-month schedule anticipated in the RFP. The flow chart
below depicts the rough sequence of events and activities to be completed from month to month for
each of the six (6) traffic calming plan projects:
Proposed 6-month Flow Chart and Milestones for Traffic Calming Plans
TRAFFIC CALMING PLAN 1 – PACIFIC VIEW NEIGHBORHOOD
BACKGROUND
The City has identified the need to study
reported traffic safety concerns on
Verde Ridge Road and Locklenna Lane
in the Pacific View community. Verde
Ridge Road and Locklenna Lane are
each 40-foot wide, two-lane undivided
(local) residential streets with on-street
parking allowed on both sides. Verde
Ridge Road is abutted by residential
properties from Hawthorne Boulevard
to its westerly terminus at 3,300’ to the west. Locklenna Lane is single-loaded with residential properties
running alongside only the south side of the street, and Hesse Community Park on the north side of the
street. Both streets are stop-controlled on their easterly terminus at Hawthorne Boulevard, with no
intermittent traffic controls along their length. KOA will collect and analyze traffic, roadway and roadside
data for each of these segments, collect input from adjacent residents and stakeholders, identify the
prevailing speeding and safety concerns, then develop a traffic calming plan to address the issues.
Month 1
• Kick-off meeting
• Set goals, roles & milestones
• 1st stakeholder outreach and
awareness meetings (6)
Month 2
• Begin Plan development
• Review/collect data
• Identify & analyze ex. issues
• Choose traffic calming tools
Month 3
• 2nd stakeholder outreach
meetings to gather feedback (6)

TASK 1A.1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
Task Summary
Task 1A.1 – Project Coordination and Administration
Task 1A.2 – Project Meetings
Kick-off meeting
Upon authorization to proceed, KOA will coordinate with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to set up a kick-
off meeting. The purpose of the initial conversation will be to finalize the project timeline, set up an
internal meeting schedule and agree upon the project communication channels. This meeting will also be
the first step in formalizing the parameters of the project, outlining project opportunities and challenges,
and addressing participant-specific project expectations moving forward, including stakeholder
engagement.
Additional goals of the kick-off meeting will be to:
Review and discuss project overview;
Confirm project schedule and details for reoccurring meetings;
Establish compliance standards and guidelines (e.g., RPV Engineering Standards, Neighborhood
Traffic Calming Program, industry standards and best practices)
Distribute a list of data/document needs for the project; and
Establish staff communication, project management process, and roles
As part of the kick-off meeting, we will facilitate with the City a plan for stakeholder analysis discussions to
clarify our public outreach mission, identify key stakeholders for each Traffic Calming Plan, and the
appropriate level of engagement, timing of activities to ensure congruency with our technical milestones,
and key messages, goals and objectives to maintain throughout the project.
Stakeholder Meetings
KOA will coordinate with the City to provide outreach and solicit input from community stakeholders,
including private residents, the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) and City Council. The proposed sequence
of stakeholder meetings is as follows:
Anticipated Meeting Schedule:
Informal meeting with community members and residents to discuss the subject traffic safety
issues
Follow-up meetings with community members and residents to discuss potential solutions and
options
Meeting with the TSC to present the Draft Traffic Calming Plans (DTCP)
Follow-up meeting with the TSC to present the revised DTCP (i.e., Final Draft Traffic Calming
Plans)
City Council Meeting with Letter of Endorsement from TSC to present the FDTCP
Optional – Follow-up meeting with City Council to present the Final Traffic Calming Plan, based
on any final/previous City Council and/or public comments
KOA will prepare agenda, project schedule, and other meeting materials and distribute them ahead of all
meetings. In addition, post-meeting, we will prepare meeting minutes including discussion and action

Task Summary:
Task 2A.1 – 8-Hour Intersection Turning Movement Counts (TMCs)
Task 2A.2 – Collect/Compile Existing Documents and Collision Data
Task 2A.3 – Conduct On-Site Field Observations and Measurements
The first step in the data collection process is to obtain traffic data to verify the existing conditions. The
City has indicated that recent traffic volume and speed count data for Verde Ridge Road and Locklenna
Lane are available and will be provided to KOA. In the event that newer data is required, 48-hour speed
counts and/or 24-hour ADT volume counts will be conducted on each segment for an additional fee as
optional service. Two (2) 8-hour intersection turning movement traffic volume counts will be conducted at
the intersections of Verde Ridge Road & Locklenna Lane, and Verde Ridge Road & El Rodeo Road, for use
in conducting the subsequent multi-way stop control warrant assessment. KOA will also perform in-field
observations along each street to understand the prevailing traffic concerns. A summary of the field data
count information KOA proposes to collect is listed as follows:
Proposed Field Data Collection:
8-Hour Intersection Turning Movement counts – 2 locations, for multi-way stop sign warrant
On-site field inspections (sight distance, visual observations)
KOA will also compile any available traffic collision data from the City for Verde Ridge Road and Locklenna
Lane.

TRAFFIC CALMING PLAN 2 – HAWTHORNE BOULEVARD
BACKGROUND
The City has identified the need to
study reported traffic safety
concerns on Hawthorne
Boulevard, particularly in the
southbound/westbound direction,
between Verde Ridge Road and
Palos Verdes Drive West.
Hawthorne Boulevard is an 8-foot
wide, four-lane roadway with a
raised median along most of its
length, and serves as a key arterial
in the City. The roadway is further
characterized by median
breaks/turn pockets at
intersections, Class II (on-street
striped) bike lanes, and a steep
grade to the south which slopes
downward continuously along the 2.71-mile length between Verde Ridge Road and Palos Verdes Drive
West. There are also a total of four (4) signalized intersections within the study area, located on
Hawthorne Boulevard at Crest Road, Dupre Drive, Vallon Drive, and Palos Verdes Drive West. KOA will
collect and analyze traffic, roadway and roadside data for the total length of the Hawthorne Boulevard
study segments, collect input from adjacent residents and stakeholders, identify the prevailing speeding
and safety concerns, then develop a traffic calming plan to address the issues.

ADMINISTRATION
Task Summary
Task 1E.1 – Project Coordination and Administration
Task 1E.2 – Project Meetings
Kick-off meeting
Upon authorization to proceed, KOA will coordinate with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to set up a kick-
off meeting. The purpose of the initial conversation will be to finalize the project timeline, set up an
internal meeting schedule and agree upon the project communication channels. This meeting will also be
the first step in formalizing the parameters of the project, outlining project opportunities and challenges,
and addressing participant-specific project expectations moving forward, including stakeholder
engagement.
Additional goals of the kick-off meeting will be to:
Review and discuss project overview;
Confirm project schedule and details for reoccurring meetings;
Establish compliance standards and guidelines (e.g., RPV Engineering Standards, Neighborhood
Traffic Calming Program, industry standards and best practices)
Distribute a list of data/document needs for the project; and
Establish staff communication, project management process, and roles
As part of the kick-off meeting, we will facilitate with the City a plan for stakeholder analysis discussions to
clarify our public outreach mission, identify key stakeholders for each Traffic Calming Plan, and the
appropriate level of engagement, timing of activities to ensure congruency with our technical milestones,
and key messages, goals and objectives to maintain throughout the project.
