proj ect.

work order consultant ("Consultant") shall contain the following provisions in substantially the
form set forth below:
"PROJECT COOPERATION
This statement of work describes the responsibilities of the entities involved in this
cooperative Project. In this Work Order Contract (WOC), the Consultant shall only be
responsible for those de1iverables assigned to the Consultant. All work assigned to other
entities are not Consultant's obligations under this WOC, but shall be obtained by Agency
through separate intergovernmental agreements which contain a statement of work that is
the same as or similar to this statement of work. The obligations of entities in this statement
of work other than the Consultant are merely stated for informational purposes and are in
no way binding, nor are the named entities parties to this WOC. Any tasks or de1iverables
assigned to a subcontractor shall be construed as being the responsibility of the Consultant.
- 13-
TGM Grant Agreement No. 26783
TGM File Code 3A-09
EA # TGM9LA30
Any Consultant tasks or de1iverables which are contingent upon receiving information,
resources, assistance, or cooperation in any way from another entity as described in this
statement of work shall be subject to the following guidelines:
I. At the first sign of non-cooperation, the Consultant shall provide written notice (email
acceptable) to Oregon Department of Transportation (Agency) Work Ordcr Contract
Project Manager (WOCPM) of any deliverab1cs that rnay be delayed due to lack of
coopcration by other entities referenced in this statement of work.
2. WOCPM shall contact the non-cooperative entity or entities to discuss the matter and
attempt to correct the problem and expedite items dctermined to be delaying the
Consultant.
If Consultant has followed the notification process described in item I, and Agency finds
that delinquency of any deliverable is a result of the failure of other refercnced entities to
provide information, resources, assistance, or cooperation, as described in this statement of
work, the Consultant will not be found in breach of contract. WOCPM will negotiate with
Consultant in the best interest of the State, and rnay amend the delivery schedule to allow
for delinquencies beyond the control of the Consultant."
Project Purposerrransportation Relationship and Benefits
The City of Ashland (City) has a. population of approxirnately 2 1,600. The current
Transportation System Plan (TSP) was last updated in 1998 and is based upon data collected
between 1991 and 1997. 1998 TSP is vehicular focused and provides only rninirna1 attention to
other modes of transportation. This past philosophy has resulted in poor pedestrian connectivity
throughout the cornrnunity and inadequate accommodation of bicyclists.
The 1998 TSP does not reflect the current philosophy of the community. Ashland's elected
officials, appointed officials, staff and citizens call for an update that considers multi-modal
transportation alternatives in a more creative light. Updated TSP (the rnodified 1998 TSP to be
updated under this WOC) will not only comply with the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) and
follow the Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) and applicable modal plans, but will also integrate
future land usc and multi-modal transportation system elements thus making pedestrian, bicycle,
rail air, and transit traffic as irnportant, and in some areas more important, than vehicular traffic.
The prirnary goal of Project is to assist the community in providing transportation facilities to the
residents and guests of Ashland in a sustainable way. For vehicular traffic, this includes the goal
of providing a rninimwn level of service (LOS) for through streets and for intersections as
defined in the Highway Design Manual and Oregon Highway Plan (OHP). These goals must also
comp1ernent the need for other modes of transportation including pedestrian, bicycle, bus and rail
transit.
The project scope includes all roads within the city limits of Ashland, including Highway 66
(Ashland Street), North Main, Highway 99 (Siskiyou Boulevard) and the 1-5 interchanges.
Capacity ofl-5 is not part of the scope but the impact of future through traffic growth on the

local infrastructurc is included as part ofthc project. Other local, regional and county-wide
transportation visions and policies must be incorporated into the Updated TSP where possible.
Project Area
The Project Area (see Map A at end of statement of work) encompasses the current City Urban
Growth Boundary (UGB). However, Consultant is required to provide a regional impact and
probability cvaluation for all multi-modal transportation options (strcet car, express transit,

About Ashland
Ashland is a pretty, small town, filled with passionate people. This community fosters curiosity,
creativity and communication. It shows up in many ways: walking past homcs built at the turn of
the 20th century, preserved because people care, shopping in buildings you remember seeing in
historic photographs, in clean streets, excellent schools and expansive libraries. Walk down the
street and look people in the eye or communicate with someone half a world away with high
speed internet access via the Ashland Fiber Network. Progressive and active business community
cultivates big city amenities which locals and visitors enjoy alike.
City has a Mayor/City Council form of government. The Mayor, who presides at the Council
meetings, is elected for a four-year term and meets with the City Council twice monthly in
meetings open to the public. The City Council is advised in part by over IS different advisory
boards and commissions staffed by volunteer citizens. 1)tey cover a range of responsibilities
from the Affordable Housing Committee to the Conservation Commission.
Economic development is encouraged and supported by City with an emphasis on retention and
expansion of existing businesses and attracting new businesses to the area. City seeks clean
industry that provides living wage jobs and has identified the technology industry as a desirable
and viable addition to thc community.
The citizens of AsWand place great value on creating and maintaining a sustainable and living
community, by maintaining high development standards, emphasizing historic preservation and
developing numerous conservation programs. Ashland's elected officials, appointed officials,
staff and citizens have expressed a desire to go beyond a TSP update that simply addresses
multimodal transportation in usual terms. The community wishes to integrate the transportation
plan with land use and explore innovative ways to promote transit, bicycle and pedestrian use.
To that end, it is important that the TSP update meet the City Council's environmental goal to
"Develop an integrated land use and transportation plan to increase the viability of transit,
bicycles, walking and other alternative modes of transportation; reduce per capita autornobile
vehicle miles traveled; provide safe walking and bicycling routes to home, work, shopping and
schools; implement environmentally responsible design standards, and minimize new
automobile-related infrastructure."
In addition, three prominent intersections on boulevards in Ashland were identified as potential
future activity nodes in the September 2007 Transportation and Growth Management (TGM)
Outreach Workshop on "Designing Great Arterial Streets" - Siskiyou Boulevard and Bridge

Street, Ashland Street and Walker Avenue .and East Main Street and North Mountain Avenue.
Each of the three sites is located on particularly auto-oriented sections of Ashland's boulevard
system and presents an opportunity for a rnixture of uses that would add activity and energy to
the intersection and surrounding area.
Problem StatementIBackl!round
Ashland's 1998 TSP is based upon data collected between 1991 and 1997. There are numerous
deficiencies with the 1998 TSP, as well as several changes in the community dircction,
including:
. A 12% increase in population;
. A need to refine hind use and transportation policy to support City as a green
transportation community, which includes making walking and bicycling trips viable
options for a widc varicty of people and enhancing land uses and densities on transit
corridors to fully support public transportation and parking requirements;
. A dcficicnt rcflection of the community's evolving vision for rninimal transportation
infrastructure, increased alternative travel options, and smarter, rnore efficient
transportation systern management and operation (i.e. bicycle boulevards, separated
bike lanes, corridors to "pedestrian nodes" and employment centers, reviewing
cxisting zoning and pedestrian lighting, four-lane bike trails as well as access
management, developing transit densities along these corridors, streetcar transit, street
narrowing);
. Need for an evaluation of pedestrian nodes (focal points where pedestrian amenities
such as seating, shade, drinking fountains, public art, landscaping informational
displays, bicycle rest-stops or transit shelters are provided to incrcase the perception
of an activc, urban corridor while encouraging walking, bicycling and transit use);
. An exploration of new opportunities to become a statewide (even nationwide) small-
city Icader in green transportation systems, focusing on rnulti-moda1 elements, not
included in 1998 TSP, such as a comprehensive comrnuter plan for pedestrian,
bicycle and transit nodes and connections between key development sites.;
. The deve10prnent of two key infill development areas that are identified for growth,
but lack integration into the transportation system at large. The Croman area is an 80-
acre industrially zoned site, artd the Railroad area is a 40-acre site zoned for
employment; with a potential to dramatically impact regional travel patterns;
. A comprehensive "Safe Routes to School" program;
. The City has several offset intersections and needs to develop long term realignment
strategies;
. kneed for formal prograrns to inform the traveling public oflocal rnu1timodal
opportunities;
. Regional transit plarming efforts such as the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning
Organization's (RVMPO) proposed commuter rail connection between Central Point
and Ashland, and Rogue Valley Transportation District's (RVTD) plans to explore
future modes such as streetcar or bus rapid transit would change existing transit and
auto patterns;

EA # TGM9LA30
. Addressing transportation challenges to support City goals of comprehensive and
efficient land use by reducing or delaying the need for new infrastructure through
smarter system management and operations;
. The access managcmcnt and transportation impact study guidelines arc in desperate
need of revision and codification to manage future development;
. A large nurnber of plans, studies, and workshops conducted since 1998 TSP was
adopted that need to be consolidated into a single document, and
. Identified the need to plan for future commuter rail service in the greater Rogue
Valley area.
Timeliness
As noted above, 1998 TSP is more than ten years old, with analysis data sometimes more than
fifteen years old. An Updated TSP is needed to comply with new TPR rules and to further
realize City's vision of being a "green transportation community". Further, an Updated TSP is
needed to provide the transportation foundation to support future residential and economic
development.
Proiect Obiectives
Project is focused on the following objcctivcs and supporting outcomes, which are only a sample
ofthe expected Updated TSP goals and objectives (note: many outcomes could span multiple
objectives) to be developed in Task 2:
. Improve quality of life and support economic prosperity
o Adopt a comprehensive Updated TSP that supports a safe, efficient, multi-modal
transportation network based on existing and forecasted land uses, with a focus on
modal equity and balance to provide travel options for system users;
o Explore innovative ways through infrastructure, regulation, education and promotion
to increase bicycle and pedestrian trips. Reach beyond the athletic and dedicated non-
motorized travelers and make walking and biking viable options for a wider varicty of
people;
o Identify and remove barriers for at least three future activity nodes to add activity and
energy to the intersection and surrounding area;
o Identify areas to irnprove and enhance public transportation;
o Identify areas where refinement plans would increase the life of a facility or delay the
need for irnprovements (e.g. Ashland St. or Siskiyou Blvd.);
o Provide alternative routes and reduce the burden on the state highway system through
improved local, collector, and arterial street connectivity;
o Identify transportation solutions that improve the development potential within the
Project Area (e.g. north of Bear Creek and East ofI-5) using minimal new
transportation infrastructure, which support increased overall dcnsity dclaying need to
expand the Urban Growth Boundary.

. Create a "green" template for other communities to follow
o Create a prioritized list ofrnulti-rnodal, green projects that share the community's
values and support as well as assist in improving environmental quality by reducing
number of auto trips, auto trip length, and emissions;
o Expand rnulti-moda1 infrastructure design to includc fcatures that ensure increased
use for non-rnotorized users such as bicycle boulevards, separated bike lanes, four-
lane bike trails, and bike and pedestrian lighting to provide for all season use;
o Establish targets for increasing biking and walking trips (e.g. 10, 20 and 30 year
increments);
o Develop new mixed land-use activity centers, with a rnulti-rnodal focus following the
"Designing Great Arterial Streets" concept to set the standard for future developrnent
and infrastructure within the City;
o Review our transportation circulation systems and addresses the problem of heavy
flow of traffic through downtown
o Irnprove carbon irnpacts by adjusting transportation-related land use patterns
o. Develop transit corridors using land use and transportation rneasures to support the
public transportation system;
o Update and adopt into code strect design standards to provide more options for
enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities such as off-street pedestrian/bike trails and
more "green street" options for stormwater and landscaping treatments;
o Investigate the launching of a customized Smart TrillS traveler information program
to cncourage alternative mode travel and commuting through employers and
individuals in City.
. Make safety a priority
o Prepare "Safe Routes to School" plans for the local schools and Southern Oregon
University;
o Develop a comprehensive access rnanagement plan for the City that can be adopted
into code and enforced;
o Strategically plan for further safety and operational improvements such as bicyclist
and pedestrian lighting, bicycle boulevards and separated bike lanes to the existing
network of pedestrian and bicycle facilities;
o Determine the appropriate meanS for managing the statc highways and major arterials
(e.g., Ashland St. (Highway 66) and Siskiyou Blvd. (Highway 99)) to meet both local
and through traffic needs as well as improving safety and mobility using minimal
infrastructure;
. Satisfy the TPR requirements of a TSP update
o Seek input and collaborate with City's transportation systern users (e.g. public
process regarding pedestrian Node evaluation, public Transportation Comrnission
rneetings, joint Planning Commission meetings, a Project website for public use);
o Ensure compliance with the TPR, OTP, and OHP;
o Coordinate with RVMPO, Jackson County and the City of Medford to ensure
regional connectivity and avoid redundant planning;
o Ultirnately support TPR requirement of "allowed land uses are consistent with the
identified function, capacity, and performance standards of the facility."
