Task 1: Review Existing Transportation Models and Land Use Requirements <br />Purpose <br />The purpose of this task is to review the existing Alameda and Contra Costa Countywide models, and the <br />existing TJKM Tri-Valley model, to identify differences and determine which model structure to apply <br />for the Tri-Valley area_ This task also involves reviewing the status of the technical inputs to the Alameda <br />and Contra Costa countywide and subregional models to assure consistency among the models_ <br />Approach and Methodology <br />Pursuant to the passage of Proposition 111, Alameda and Contra Costa Counties will develop congestion <br />management programs which require that the TH-Valley model be consistent with MTC's modeling <br />methodology and assumptions_ Also, a methodology that incorporates both the Alameda and Contra Costa <br />models will need to be developed_ It is anticipated that this will involve writing a program that <br />incorporates Contra Costa trip generation models and data for the zones in Contra Costa County and the <br />Alameda trip generation model and land use for zones within Alameda County. The modeling <br />methodology will be reviewed with NTTC staff for approval - <br />Product <br />The product of this task will be a technical report documenting the model that will be used in the Tri- <br />Valley area. This report shall be sent to the M11C for their review and approvaL To -ensure that the <br />consistency standard is met, the CONSULTANT shall meet with the MTC to answer any questions they <br />may have. <br />Task 2: . Network/Zone System Definition <br />Purpose <br />The CONSULTANT shall design the focused zonal system and the detailed highway and transit networks <br />for the Tri-Valley area model- Network definition shall include proper location of traffic zone "centroid" <br />connector links and other network details. CONSULTANT shall review the location and number of traffic <br />zones and centroid connectors with each locality and incorporate comments_ <br />Approach and Methodology <br />Traffic Zone Systems Definition of the zonal system to be used for the Tri-Valley model will be the <br />responsibility of the CONSULTANT. Using AAA base maps, the CONSULTANT shall prepare a <br />Cooperative Agreement No. 45.01.00 Exhibit A <br />Between Contra Costa Transportation Authority and Page 2 of 13 <br />County of Alameda, Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore <br />
