RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. to approve Amendment No. 3 to extend and amend
agreement for traffic signal optimization study and transportation management center preliminary
design report and to approve the assignment and assumption agreement for traffic signal
optimization study and transportation management center preliminary design report.
2005-257
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On June 27, 2002, the City of Carlsbad entered into a professional services agreement with
Meyer, Mohaddes and Associates, Inc. (MMA). Their scope of work included preparation of
time-based traffic signal coordination timing plans for the El Camino Real and the Palomar Airport
Road corridors and a preliminary design report for a transportation management center to be
housed in the future Public Works building. The preliminary design report has been completed.
For contractual purposes, MMA now operates as Iteris, Inc.
The initial work by the consultant prepared traffic signal time-based coordination plans for El Camino
Real and for Palomar Airport Road. This involved a considerable amount of field data collection to
develop the background information to be used in the computer software program, preparation of
time-based traffic signal coordination timing plans, and implementation of the coordination timing in
the field. Two amendments were previously approved to complete and update the coordination
timing plans on both corridors as a result of changed conditions.
On July 11, 2003 Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with MMA, Inc., was approved to extend the
time period necessary to complete the original scope of work.
On July 2, 2004 Amendment No. 2 to the agreement was approved to extend the agreement an
additional year and to approve on-call traffic engineering services to update the coordination traffic
signal timing plans on El Camino Real and on Palomar Airport Road.
If Amendment No. 3 is approved, it will exceed the $100,000 cumulative limit for a contract that the
City Manager is authorized to approve. Consequently, City Council approval is required.
The scope of work for Amendment No. 3 includes additional updates of traffic signal time-based
coordination timing plans for El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road, including analysis of new
intersections and new legs of existing intersections that have been added since the original work
was completed.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The level of activity contained in the scope of the consultant agreement regarding CEQA is defined
in section 15306 as Class 6, Information Collection, and is categorically exempt from CEQA.

Re: City of Carlsbad Traffic Engineering On-Call Services P05-0157
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Meyer, Mohaddes Associates (MMA), a business unit of Iteris, Inc. is very pleased to submit
this proposal to provide on-call traffic engineering services to the City of Carlsbad. This
proposal has been prepared based on discussions held with City staff and our understanding of
the El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road corridors (study corridors). The focus of the
proposal will be to provide as-needed traffic engineering services to evaluate and enhance the
coordinated signal timing plans for the study corridors.
To date, MMA has developed coordinated signal timing plans for the El Camino Real and
Palomar Airport Road corridors, assisted the City with the implementation of the coordinated
timing plans, including implementation and fine-tuning support. The continued land
development in the area and the changes in traffic volumes and patterns necessitate continued
enhancements to the existing coordinated signal timing plans. The City desires to utilize MMA
to provide these services on an as-needed basis through this on-call project.
MMA proposes to provide time and material services to the City through the four tasks listed
below. In previous signal timing efforts, the City has provided the traffic and turning moving
count data, so we have not included a task for that effort. If needed, MMA is open to discussing
making this a requirement of our scope.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM: Scott Carlson, P.E.
Mr. Robert Johnson Jr., P.E.
Deputy City Engineer, City of Carlsbad
DATE: June 10,2005
SUBJECT: City of Carlsbad Signal Timing On-Call
J/P NUMBER: 17-PO5-0157
1 .O INTRODUCTION
Meyer, Mohaddes Associates (MMA), a business unit of Iteris, Inc. has prepared a scope of work for
the City of Carlsbad to provide on-call traffic engineering services. The scope of work reflects the
City’s desire to have MMA provide traffic engineering services to update the coordinated signal timing
plans along El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road corridors (study corridors) as needed due to the
continued land development in the area which results in changes in traffic volumes and patterns.
The on-call services will be a time and materials (T&M) contract. Contractually, the on-call services
will be an add-on to MMA’s existing contract with the City, the Signal Timing Optimization Study and
TMC Preliminary Design Report project (MMA job number 502-0057) which included the preparation
of coordinated signal timing plans along the El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road corridors.
However, from a management perspective, MMA will establish a new job number for internal tracking
purposes.
MMA’s proposal is presented in the following sections:
0 Section 3: Project Staffing/Organization
Section 2: Scope of Work
Section 4: Staff Schedule of Rates
2.0 DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK
The following scope of work was developed based on our discussions with City staff, our
understanding of the project components, and our experience on similar projects. The final scope of
work and associated budget will be determined during the City’s evaluation process to ensure that the
City’s goals can be achieved.
In the following sections, we propose various tasks that will be performed during the project
development process. For each task, the task objective, activities, assumptions, and deliverables
(products) have been presented. We have organized our work scope into Tasks 0 through 3 as
summarized below and discussed in the following sections. Note that in previous signal timing efforts,
the City has provided the traffic and turning moving count data, so we have not included a task for that
effort. If needed, MMA is open to discussing making this a requirement of our scope.

Task 1 - Signal Timing Analysis
~~~
Task 0 - Project Management
Objectives: To ensure an efSicient and coordinated project development process, the delivery of a
high quality product, and deployment of the project components within budget and on
schedule.
Mr. Scott Carlson will serve as Project Manager for this project. He will be the principal contact with
the City of Carlsbad and other entities per the City’s direction. Project management support consists of
preparation of monthly status reports, and attendance at required meetings relative to the on-call
services provided to the City. Mr. Carlson will also be available to City staff should specific questions
arise throughout the project progress, or for special meetings to inform other members within the
community. Mr. Carlson will be supported by Mr. Ramin Massoumi who will be the lead on preparing
the coordinated signal timing plans. Mr. Massoumi will have the support of key MMA staff
experienced in preparing signal timing plans as noted in Section 3 of this proposal.
We take great pride in our proactive methods for staying in contact with project clients. We understand
that City staff has other jobs to perform outside of this project, so we want to be as efficient and
effective as possible with their time. Thus, our project management techniques will be modified to
meet your needs. We also strive to make sure that meeting notes are developed after every meeting,
which capture the items covered and decisions made. Once the meeting has been adjourned, a draft
copy of the meeting notes will be submitted to the City’s project manager for review and approval prior
to disbursement to the meeting attendees. These notes are not meant to be meeting minutes (recording
of every word), but assist with the tracking of discussions and decisions throughout the project
progress, as well as the identification of action items.
Another component of the Project Management Task is Quality Control. MMA’s number one goal is
the production of top quality products for clients. This is something that should be kept in mind by all
employees at all times. It does not just apply to quality control for design plans, something that has
been standard procedure at engineering design firms for many years, but rather relates to a11 aspects of
our jobs and professional careers. As a firm and as individuals, MMA always strives for excellence.
For the Carlsbad On-Call Traffic Engineering Services, Mr. Marc Porter has been identified as the
officer responsible for the Quality Control / Quality Assurance aspect of this project.

I Task 1 - Signal Timing Analysis I
Objective: To identifi the signal subsystems and provide signal timing information optimized for
signal phasing, sequencing, offset, cycle length, and coordination plans for the AM,
noon and PM peak periods.
Task 1.1 Signal Timing Subsystem Identification
In support of the previous Signal Timing Optimization Study and TMC Preliminary Design Report
project. MMA identified the signal timing subsystems whereby coordination subsystems or sub-areas
where identified. The coordinated subsystems were arterial-based subsystems, and the grouping of
intersections was driven by the required cycle lengths and traffic patterns. Based on changes in the
traffic volumes and patterns along the El Camino Real and the Palomar Airport Road corridors, it may
be necessary to revise the coordination subsystems. This effort will be conducted in parallel with Task
1.2.
An important consideration in subsystem control is the definition of the control area boundaries and the
groupings of signals that will operate within these boundaries. The major objective when selecting a
primary corridor and designing a coordination subsystem is to allow for the effective coordination of as
many traffic signals as possible within the subsystem. With the successful implementation of proper
geographical subsystems and timing plans, spread-out vehicles can be joined together to form vehicle
platoons which aid in smoother traffic flow while maintaining speed.
Task 1.2 Signal Timing Analysis
The initial effort in support of this project may be a site visit to drive the study corridors for a particular
peak period, as requested by the City. MMA will use this field study to evaluate any concerns the City
or public may have addressed with regard to the coordinated signal timing. Examples include short
cycle lengths for side street traffic or lack of progression. The field study will provide MMA with a
first hand understanding of the enhancements to the coordinated signal timing that may be required.
Based on the field study, using the existing and new turning movement counts (to be provided by the
City), and the subsystem analysis results from Task 1.1, the existing coordinated signal timing plans
will be evaluated using Synchro to identify signal timing enhancements that can further refine the
coordinated signal timing plans. This effort will be completed in a three-step process:
I. Existing Cycle and Existing Phase Sequence
The operating conditions under the existing signal timing and revised turning movement volumes
will be observed.
2. Optimized Cycle and Existing Phase Sequence
For each corridorhbsystem developed as part of Task 1.1, various cycle lengths will be
analyzed, beginning with the existing coordinated signal timing plans. In choosing the most
optimum cycle length, the following factors will be taken into consideration:
- System wide coordination, - Proximity of study corridors to other major corridor in the system,
Meyer, Mohaddes and Associates
5 f2
On-Call Traffic Engineering Services City of Carlsbad
- Intersection turning movement volumes,
-
-
Individual intersection delay and level of service, and
Approach delay per movement for each intersection.
In order to provide an efficient flow of traffic, it is important to provide a cycle length that would
provide sufficient green time to be able to serve all movements. However, high cycle lengths
generally cause high delays for the minor approaches. The optimum cycle length will be the
merging of all of the above factors into one value.
System wide coordination would be accomplished by using a similar cycle length throughout the
system (subsystem), or corridor. In the analysis, if the optimal cycle lengths chosen are within a
few seconds of the existing cycles, and the optimization does not make a significant
improvement to the timings, the existing cycle length should be retained. Comparisons will be
made between existing and proposed signal timing plans using various measures of effectiveness
(MOEs). Examples of MOEs include bandwidth lengths in both directions, flow diagrams, and
approach delays.
3. Optimized Cycle and Optimized Phase Sequence and Offsets
The final step in the analysis process will be to calculate the optimum signal timing splits to
provide sufficient green time for each movement so that all of the vehicles would be served. In
addition, offsets will be optimized to provide the most efficient coordination with the widest
bandwidth.
In the development of the signal timing splits, it will also be important to keep in mind the
special needs of each individual intersection and the corridor it is in. The green time that will be
developed will also be dependent on transit and pedestrian activities. Signal timing plans that are
developed correctly will reduce pedestrian accidents and increase the efficiency of the corridor.
From the three-step process explained above, signal timing plans for the AM, midday, and PM
peak periods will be developed. The timing plans will be presented to City staff for review and
approval.
Note that it is envisioned that the City will provide updated traffic counts that include turning
movement counts to support the Task 1 work.
Task 1 Deliverables: A technical memorandum summarizing the signal timing analysis.
~~ ~
Task 2 - Develop Signal Timing Plans
Objective: Once agreed upon coordination patterns have been developed, the parameters for the
recommended timing plans will be presented to City staff These timing plans will be
implementation ready and will indicate information such as cycle length, phase force-
offs, and offsets.
Once the proposed signal timing information developed in Task 1 is approved by City staff, MMA will
develop recommended, ready for implementation, optimum signal timing plans. These plans will
provide such information as cycle length, force off points, timing minimums and maximums, offsets,
and pedestrian timings.
Meyer, Mohaddes and Associates

On-Call Traffic Engineering Services City of Carlsbad
Task 2 Deliverable: A technical memorandum summarizing the signal timing analysis methodology
and approach.
-1 Task 3 - Implement & Fine Tune New Traffic Signal Timing Plans I
Objective: Implement the recommended timing plans and conduct fine tuning of the study
corridors.
Sub-Task 3.1 Implement Signal Timing Plans
Once the proposed signal timing plans have been approved by the City of Carlsbad staff, MMA will
assist the City with the field implementation of the optimized signal timing plans at the study
intersections. As part of the previous Signal Timing Optimization Study and TMC Preliminary Design
Report project, MMA staff has established a positive working relationship with the City’s staff and
SMI, the City’s on-call traffic signal system maintenance contractor. The City, SMI, and MMA have
established a successful implementation process that will be continued as part of the on-call traffic
engineering services project.
Sub-Task 3.2 Fine Tuning Signal Timing Plans
Once the signal timing plans have been implemented into the Type 170 controllers, MMA staff will
provide assistance to the City to conduct field reviews of the new signal timing plans. Special attention
will be given in regard to the interaction of the Palomar Airport Road / El Camino Real cross-corridor
intersection and the operation of the minor streets. When developing optimum signal timing plans, in
addition to providing the widest green bandwidth along the coordinated corridors or subgroups within a
corridor, it is important to observe the vehicle delays on the minor movement during the fine tuning
exercise.
As part of this subtask, MMA staff will drive along each study corridor and suggest improvements to
the timing plans. If necessary, MMA staff will provide modified timing plans based upon field reviews.
MMA Team staff will accompany the City during the implementation of the revised timing plans.
Tusk 3.2 Deliverable: Finalized copy of the timing sheets for each study intersection.
