Typical transportation planning studies conducted by Iteris include the following key tasks:
<br />• Project scoping and coordination with City, identification of issues, identification of study
<br />area, affected roadway and facilities, agreement on methodology
<br />• Data collection including field review of existing transportation facilities near the project,
<br />traffic data collection, collection and review of recent documents
<br />• Analysis of the project including trip generation potential, mode split (auto, transit, truck, non -
<br />motorized), capacity analysis of links and/or intersections, analysis of transit system impacts
<br />• Deficiency identification — identify deficiencies in the transportation system caused either by
<br />the project, by cumulative conditions, or both, in terms of level of service, traffic volumes,
<br />future speeds
<br />• Recommendations including physical improvements to intersections, lanes, bridges, freeway
<br />facilities, transit facilities, bicycle facilities, other infrastructure, plus operational
<br />improvements or changes
<br />• Documentation that is clear and understandable to not only the technical professional, but
<br />also to the public since transportation planning is often a key element of local projects
<br />Traffic Engineering Design
<br />Iteris will prepare traffic engineering plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) conforming to the
<br />latest City's and Caltrans' Standard, including:
<br />• New traffic signal installation
<br />• Traffic signal modifications
<br />• Signing and striping
<br />• Street lighting
<br />• Work area traffic control
<br />Traffic signal interconnect (twisted -pair copper, fiber-
<br />optic and/or wireless)
<br />• Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), e.g. CCTV
<br />cameras, video detection
<br />• Traffic Management Center (TMC) enhancements
<br />In general, for developing the PS&E package for design plans, Iteris will complete the tasks as
<br />identified by the City. These tasks in general will include, but not be limited to the following activities:
<br />• Research of existing utility company and City records to coordinate proposed improvements
<br />with existing field conditions. This activity is of prime importance to assure the accuracy of
<br />the field conditions, early identification of utility conflicts and avoiding contract change orders
<br />during the construction.
<br />• Completion of design projects including plans, specifications, and engineer's construction
<br />cost estimate. Specifications shall be written in Microsoft Word and both physical and
<br />electronic copies shall be furnished to the City. The City will provide the specification
<br />boilerplate to Iteris.
<br />• All plans will be drawn using the MicroStation and be be completed per City Standards.
<br />• All original plan sheets, the title sheet of the specifications, calculations, and reports shall be
<br />signed and stamped by the Iteris' licensed professional engineer supervising the project.
<br />These signed originals will then become property of the City.
<br />Design parameters will conform to the latest guidelines of the California Vehicle Code; Caltrans
<br />Standard Plans and Specifications; Highway Design Manuals. the Federal and California Manual on
<br />Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD); and all other applicable local, county, state, and federal
<br />policies, guidelines, codes, and regulations.
