SCOPE OF WORK AND FEE FOR THE 2002 GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN TRAFFIC
MONITORING PROGRAM
Rick Engineering Company is pleased to submit this scope of work for traffic engineering services for
the above referenced project. This scope was prepared based on your revised intersection and mid-block
locations list and request for cost proposal dated April 29,2002. The following provides a description
of the services to be provided.
Scow of Work
Task 1 - Proiect Orientation
Rick Engineering Company will attend a project orientation with the City of Carlsbad to initiate the
project. The proposed date for this meeting will occur in the last week of June 2002. Mr. Thornton will
prepare an overall project schedule (Task 2) and traffic count schedule (Task 3) based on his nine years
of extensive involvement in previous traffic monitoring programs. The schedule will be submitted to the
City a minimum of two (2) days prior to the orientation meeting for approval at this meeting.
Task 2 -Overall Proiect Time Schedule
An overall project schedule will be prepared by Rick Engineering Company and submitted to the City
for review at the orientation meeting. This schedule will be developed based on-going and upcoming
construction projects within the City of Carlsbad. Key milestones such as completion of analysis, draft
copy submittal and final draft submittal dates will be highlighted.
Task 3 - Traffic Count Time Schedule
A schedule for the traffic counts will be submitted to the City for approval at the orientation meeting. A
tabular and graphical schedule will be developed for the intersections to be counted. Items such as number
of staff. location and count dates will be identified.
A tabular and graphical schedule will also be developed for the mid-block locations to be counted. Items
such as street location, number of equipment and layout method will be identified.
These schedules will take into account on-going and upcoming construction projects within the City of
Carlsbad.
Task 4 - Intersection and Mid-Block Count Data Collection
This task includes the data collection at 54 intersections and 28 mid-block locations requested by the City
of Carlsbad. These locations are specified in the attached Exhibits 1 and 2.
Safety is of the utmost importance in the collection of traffic count data. Rick Engineering Company will
follow the safety procedures developed during previous data collection projects, modified as necessary
to meet any special requirements of the City of Carlsbad. Safety procedures include the following:
1 All personnel working in roadway areas will wear orange vests.
Machine counts will be laid out and picked up by a minimum of two people.
Machine counts will be laid out and picked up at off-peak times to minimize conflicting traffic.
Any problems or questions with the counts will be discussed between the City and Rick Engineering
Company. Recounts will be conducted according to the following conditions: . Under the proposed scope of work, Rick Engineering Company will conduct street segment recounts
at no additional charge and up to eight peak hour intersection recounts (either AM or PM peak hour,
as appropriate) based on traffic incidents.
If additional intersection recounts are needed based on traffic incidents, Rick Engineering Company
will be available to conduct such counts at the rate of $500 per peak hour intersection count.
1 Recounts related to discrepancies in pedestrian counts will only be conducted when there is a
discrepancy of greater than 10 pedestrians in the peak hour on any given crosswalk and when there
is a reason to believe that the count is not representative of typical conditions. If a pedestrian count
is in question and needs to be recounted, only pedestrian movements will be recounted, not the entire
intersection.
9 All recounts necessary because of any errors created by Rick Engineering Company will be recounted
as soon as possible at no additional cost to the City.
Certain procedures will be followed to ensure an accurate count program. The locations and dates of
counts will be approved in advance and will not be changed without approval from the City. Rick
Engineering Company will be using a pool of individuals familiar with traffic counting procedures used
in past City of Carlsbad Traffic Monitoring Programs as well as other traffic and parking data collection
efforts based on there association with Mr. Thomton. Additionally, Rick Engineering Company proposes
that at all 1-5 ramps, a minimum of two persons be stationed to count each ramp terminal intersection. A
minimum of four persons will be scheduled to count the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El
Camino Real. Other locations will be counted using one, two, or three persons, depending on the level
of traffic.
QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES
The following are quality control measures proposed to be implemented during the data collection process
to ensure accurate results: - Field verification of count personnel during count days.
-Ensure appropriate staffing is located at each intersection per the developed schedule.
-Ensure staffing is correctly recording associated turning movements.
-Ensure count equipment is working properly.
Field verification of mid-block tube counts
-Ensure tube location is properly placed per the developed schedule.
-Ensure count equipment is working properly.
1 Monitor traffic conditions within the vicinity of the traffic count area
-Identify traffic conditions that may interfere with the traffic data being collected
(traffic accidents, traffic diversion, street closures,'etc.).
Checking validity of intersection and mid-block counts by comparing data to counts done in the year
past.
Checking validity of counts at closely spaced intersections utilizing an in-house developed
spreadsheet program.
Task 5 - Perform Level of Service Calculations
For each intersection mid-block count, Rick Engineering will perform level of service calculations. The
calculations will be conducted using methods used in the 2001 Growth Management Plan Traffic
Monitoring Program.
(ICU) method, as specified by the City.
Signalized intersection capacity analysis will be performed using the Intersection Capacity Utilization
Mid-block capacity will be determined based on a one-direction maximum capacity of 1,800.vehicles per
lane, per hour, in the peak period.
Intersection and mid-block roadway segment analysis will be performed utilizing pre-designed
spreadsheet programs. Level of service calculations will be compared to analysis results in years past to
check for validity.
Task 6 - Draft Rmort
Two copies of the Draft Report will be submitted to the City for review and comment by September 24,
2002. The report will be prepared to be consistent with previous Annual Reports for the Growth
Management Plan Traffic Monitoring Program. Allow thirty 130) days for City review. With the aid of
