Re: Proposa/forServices—MoraDriveondNestLoyolaRoadPath Study
Dear Mr. Chiu:
Tr i|Peop|e,LandscapmArohitectsandP|annera(Tr i|Peop|e)anap|easedtoprovdethispropoaa|to
assist the City of Los Altos Hills with this path feasibility assessment study,
Project Understanding
Thepro-posed study addresses two routes (see attached map):
l) Mora Drive — an approximately 0.54 mile route that extends from the corner of Mora Drive and
Eastbrook Avenue west to the Mora Trail in Ranch San Antonio Open Space Preserve. The
Waldorf School of the Peninsula is located on the northeast corner of Mora and Eastbrook. The
route is partially within an area recently annexed by the City. Mora Drive went ofTerry Way is
within Los Altos Hills; east of Terry Way it is in unincorporated Santa Clara County,
2) West Loyola Drive which roughly parallels Mora Drive to the north, extending approximately 0.9
miles west from Eastbrook Avenue. The western portion turns tothe north. AtRavensbury
Avenue West Loyola becomes Camino Hermosa Drive. The entire route is in the City limits.
The objective of the services is to study the requirements andfeaoibi|ity/reasonab|eness of constructing
a path along these routes to meet the City standards of a 5' wide path with headerboards and
decomposed granite surface. The routes are challenging because the ground slopes down to or from the
road and there are many obstructions along the shoulders ofthe road. West Loyola Drive isparticularly
challenging: there are steep winding portions with embankments onboth sides, and guardrails.
The study would have separate path feasibility assessment results for West Loyola Drive and the

Scope of Work
The study is anticipated to include the following tasks:
1. Project Coordination and Management. TrailPeople will provide coordination with City staff,
including regular check-in calls; manage the budget and schedule; prepare invoices, and provide
quality control review of all deliverables.
2. Data Compilation and Mapping. TrailPeople will request/obtain digital files and prepare a map for
the path study, including the most detailed and accurate publicly available aerial photo, liclar topo,
and property/ROW lines,
3. City Meeting and Field Reconnaissance. TrailPeople will attend a meeting with City staff to review
comments and make potential adjustments in the assessment and improvement assumptions.
Following the meeting TrailPeople traverse the Study route, verifying and documenting local field
conditions affecting path design. We will mark pertinent features on the study map and in a KMZ file
with pin locations. TrailPeople will complete a preliminary assessment map and table to inventory
conditions along the route, including significant trees, slopes, walks and fences, utility poles,
drainage facilities, and driveways, including those with slope/conform challenges. From this
assessment TrailPeople will classify the construction challenges and requirements into a draft set of
typical pathway construction cross-sections, such as:
1. Simple construction involving only light grading
2. More complex construction requiring significant grading
3. Portions with significant slope requiring retaining walls
. Additional work that may be required within these basic types will be identified, such as:
1. Removal/relocation of walls and fences
2. Drainage facility (culvert) modification
3. Locations where pathway would have to be narrower than 5', or trees removed or utilities
relocated
4. Driveways that would require reconstruction/conform work
4. Preliminary Improvement Study Report. TrailPeople will prepare a memorandum report
summarizing study objectives, existing conditions of the route, and conceptual approach to creating
the path in the typical or special conditions that occur on the route. The Study will focus on one side
of Mora Drive or the other, based on initial review of site constraints and opportunities, and the
features of the potential improvement measures., with conceptual design illustrations. The typical
conditions and conceptual solutions will be illustrated with photos and sketch cross-sections
Examples of site features that will need to be addressed will be illustrated with photos.

5. City Staff Review and Report Finalization. The draft report will be transmitted to City staff for
review. Trai|Peop|ewill attend a conference call with City staff to review. City staff will provide
consolidated comments on the report, and TrailPeople will revise the report to final form and
transmit to the City.

Schedule
The proposed schedule goal is to complete the Study within two months of authorization to proceed. ,
Not -to -Exceed Fee
The estimated fee for these services is detailed in the attached spreadsheet,and isbroken down into a
base fee for study ofWest Loyola Drive plus the portion ofMora Drive from Terry Way tothe open
space, which is in City limits ($9,735); an additive fee to add study of the portion of Mora Drive from
Terry Way to Eastbrook Avenue, which is unincorporated ($1,980), and a costfor optional additional
meetings ($820).
