Johns n City Secretary APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: Traffic Engineer APPROVED AS TO FORMS arold Willard Asst. City Attorney 14 ATTACHMENT A - APPROVED PROJECT DESCRIPTION ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION DETERMINATION AND RELIEF STUDY Task I - Project Management and Control The CONSULTANT shall preform the following management activities while under contract with the MPO for the Traffic Congestion Determination and Relief Study (hereinafter referred to as 'the Project"'). A. Project Work Plan The CONSULTANT shall prepare a draft Project Work Plan which shall provide a schedule for specific work tasks, deliverables, and reviews. The draft work plan will be presented for discussion at the project kick-off meeting. After receipt of comments from the MPO, the CONSULTANT will make revisions and submit a final Project Work Plan. The CONSULTANT shall provide five (5) copies of the draft and final versions of the Project Work Plan. B. Project Meetings The CONSULTANT shall prepare for and attend four project meetings. The first meeting will be the kick-off meeting, which will be held as soon as possible after the MPO issues the notice to proceed. The second project meeting will be held to discuss the proposed new timing plans and will occur prior to the preparation of the draft report. The third project meeting will take place when the preliminary report is submitted to the MPO for review. The last project meeting will be a presentation of the final report to the MPO's Transportation Policy Committee. It is understood that the CONSULTANT will not present the results of the study to the Lubbock City Council. Materials to be discussed at project meeting will be submitted to the MPO for review at least one week prior to the meeting. The CONSULTANT shall prepare and submit to the MPO minutes of all project meetings. All project meetings will be held in Lubbock at a location arranged by the MPO. The CONSULTANT will provide five (5) copies of meeting minutes. C. Project Status Rev_orts Each monthly invoice will be accompanied by a brief report which shows the estimated percent of completion for each major task and the project as a whole. It is mutually agreed that no other progress reports will be required. D. Project Records and Files The CONSULTANT will develop a system for the retention of project files and records. E. Project Coordination It is mutually understood and agreed the MPO will name one (1) City of Lubbock Traffic Engineering Staff member to serve as the MPO's Designated Representative for the purpose of this project and that all technical comments from all agencies related to the CONSULTANT's service and deliverables will be routed through and consolidated by the MPO's Designated Representative. In the event of discrepancy between the comments of the various reviewers and agencies, it is mutually understood that the MPO's Designated Representative will provide final direction to the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT shall develop a framework for project coordination and shall maintain coordination with the MPO (through it's Designated Representative) for the duration of the Project. This shall include documentation of meetings and correspondence with the MPO, City of Lubbock departments, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), utility companies, and any other agencies involved in the Project. Task II - Data Collection The MPO will collect and provide to the CONSULTANT the following information required for the completion of the project. All of this information will be provided at no cost to the CONSULTANT. A. Turning Movement Counts The traffic counts will include turning movement counts for the AM peak, PM peak, noon peak, and either the AM or PM off-peak for the following intersections: • 19th Street & University Avenue • 19th Street & Avenue Q • 19th Street & I-27 • 19th Street & Brownfield Highway • Slide Road & Brownfield Highway = 34th Street & Slide Road • 1-27 & Slaton Highway • 1-27 & 66th Street • Slide Road & South Loop 289 • Quaker Avenue & South Loop 289 • Indiana Avenue & South Loop 289 • University Avenue & South Loop 289 • I-27 & 50th Street The MPO will also provide any traffic volumes necessary to analyze the progressive movement of traffic on the major thoroughfares that intersect at the above listed locations. B. Signal Subsystems and Timing Plans The MPO will also provide the CONSULTANT with the subsystems, if any, within the overall computerized signal system as well as the tinning plans that are being implemented at each of the above -listed intersections for each of the four (4) time periods that will be analyzed. C. Intersection Geometries The MPO will provide the CONSULTANT with geometric layouts of each intersection included on the above list. If so requested, the CONSULTANT agrees to make available to the MPO CONSULTANT -owned count boards and electronic traffic counting equipment to assist with the timely collection of turning movement counts. Task III - Congestion Determination Utilizing the data collected in Task H, the CONSULTANT will determine the existing levels of congestion at the following locations for the AM peals, PM peak, noon peak, and off-peak. Listed with each location is the traffic model that will be used to determine the level of congestion for that location. • 19th Street and Brownfield Highway : TRANSYT-7F • Slide Road and Brownfield Highway : TRANSYT-717 • 34th Street and Slide Road: TRANSYT-7F • 1-27 and Slaton Highway: TRANSYT-7F • Slide Road and South Loop 289: PASSER III • Quaker Avenue and South Loop 289: PASSER III • Indiana Avenue and South Loop 289 : PASSER III • University Avenue and South Loop 289: PASSER III • I-27 and 50th Street : PASSER III • I-27 and 66th Street : TRANSYT- 7F • 19th Street from University Ave. to I-27 : PASSER H The level of congestion for each isolated intersection will be expressed in measures of effectiveness such as delay and fuel consumption. Travel time and delay will be calculated for the section of 19th Street from University Avenue to I-27. This information will be used as the `before" portion of the "before and after" analysis to be conducted under Task V. Task IV - Timing Plan Generation Using the traffic volumes collected in Task II, new timing plans will be generated for each of the locations itemized in Task III. New timing plans will be developed for each of the four periods (AM peak, PM peak, noon peak and off-peak) of the day . The new timing plans for each isolated intersection will be compatible with the progression patterns for the subsystem to which the intersection belongs. The new timing plans will be generated with the intent of improving signal phasing and timing of each intersection while at the same time improving the progressive movement of traffic in the vicinity of each location. Progressive traffic movement along the Loop 289 frontage roads will not be attempted. However, the CONSULTANT will develop timing plans for the progressive movement of traffic along the I-27 frontage roads between Slaton Highway and 66th Street. PASSER III will be used to develop the new timing plans for the diamond interchanges on South Loop 289 and I-27. PASSER II or PASSER IV will then be utilized to optimize the bandwidth on the arterial that crosses South Loop 289. The MPO and the CONSULTANT will mutually agree on whether to use PASSER it or PASSER IV as the arterial bandwidth optimizer. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) plans to widen certain frontage roads along South Loop 289. In addition to generating new timing plans for the interchanges along South Loop 289, the CONSULTANT will evaluate the need for geometric revisions which may be used as input to the widening project. From University Avenue to I-27, 19th Street has various sections with parallel parking on both sides of the street. The CONSULTANT will develop a timing plan with the underlying assumption that the parking can be prohibited and the parking lane can be used as a traffic lane. Task V - Congestion Analysis Task IV will result in the formulation of new signal timing plans for each intersection. In addition signal phasing and traffic lane assignments may be revised. The need for additional traffic lanes may also be identified. The CONSULTANT will use the appropriate traffic model to predict the level of congestion that can be expected given the implementation of these improvements. An analysis will be conducted to compare the vehicular delay under existing conditions (as determined in Task III) with the vehicular delay under the improved conditions. The reduction in delay resultant from the implementation of the improvements will be documented. The motoring public will benefit from the implementation of the improvements. The benefit will be in the form of reduced travel time and delay and reduced vehicle operating costs. The CONSULTANT will develop an estimate of the annual economic benefits resulting from the improvements. 4 Task VI - Geometric Revisions The CONSULTANT will recommend low-cost improvements to reduce congestion at the intersections. However, if the addition of a traffic lane(s) at a particular intersection or the conversion of parking lanes to traffic lanes wdl significantly improve traffic operations, the CONSULTANT will suggest such improvements. Schematic drawings of these improvements will be developed by the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT will also develop an engineer's opinion of the probable construction cost of these geometric revisions. The CONSULTANT will complete Tasks IV, V, and VI concurrently. The CONSULTANT will schedule a review meeting with the MPO to discuss the new timing plans, the `before and after"congestion analysis, and any suggested geometric revisions. After receiving the MPO's comments, the timing plans will be revised accordingly for inclusion in the draft final report. Task VII - Final, Report The CONSULTANT shall prepare and submit a draft final report, which will document the findings and results of the project. After attending a review meeting to receive comments, the CONSULTANT shall prepare and submit the final report_ The CONSULTANT will provide thirteen (13) bound copies of the final report. The CONSULTANT will assist the City's Traffic Engineering staff in presenting the findings of the study to the MPO's Transportation Policy Committee. It is understood that the CONSULTANT will not participate in presenting the results of the study to the Lubbock City Council - 5 ATTACHMENT B - APPROVED PROJECT BUDGET to LUBBOCK CONGESTION DETERMINATION AND RELIEF STUDY LABOR AND DIRECT EXPENSE ESTIMATE LEE ENGINEERING, INC.
