2022/09/14 Council Agenda Packet

Consultant will support the City in coordination with other project teams for relevant data for consistent with future analysis. This coordination would include a meeting with the 1-5 HOV WSDOT project team. Assumptions: • Traffic counts will be collected by a vendor firm. The consulting team will coordinate with the vendor to procure the traffic counts. • Streetlight data, or a similar data source, will be purchased by the Consultant team through a vendor firm. The consulting team will coordinate with the vendor to procure the travel pattern data. • The City will confirm the study intersections prior to the data collection effort. Deliverables: • Traffic counts and any other data collected by the consultant team will be provided to the City. 3) Project Definition and Evaluation Scope: Based upon the data collection (Task 2), transportation analysis (Task 5) and stakeholder engagement (Task 6), the Consultant will develop draft and final project goals to define the project purpose. These project goals will be used as guiding principles for the evaluation process and concept design. It is anticipated that the project goals and evaluation process will reflect both required (baseline) and desired (contextual) needs. These goals will be reviewed by City staff as well as input received by stakeholders (task 6) Based on the project goals developed, the Consultant will develop an evaluation process for review with the City. This evaluation process, for scoping purposes, is assumed to be a two -level evaluation process. The first level screening level will consider up to four (4) corridor -type concepts and up to twelve (12) intersection/spot treatments. Corridor -type concepts would be multi -block improvements while spot location/intersection concepts would be improvements at a specific location. This is further illustrated in Table 1. For scoping purposes, the type of criteria in the first level screening will be high-level and more qualitative; addressing key project goals such as freight performance, environmental impacts, multi -modal safety, stakeholder/community support, cost & implementation feasibility. Based on the first level screening results, the project team will advance up to three (3) corridor -type improvements and up to eight (8) spot location/intersection concepts for further evaluation in the second level screening (see Table 1). This second level screening would be more detailed, and the majority of the criteria will be quantitative. For scoping purposes, the type of criteria in the second level screening would include traffic and safety, right of way impacts, assessment of community support, pedestrian/bicycle conflicts, park, wetland and historic property impacts (environmentally sensitive areas), and cost estimate (to budget).
