DELIVERABLES A. Meeting summaries with action items B. Monthly invoices C. Monthly progress reports City of Fort Worth,Texas Attachment A PMO Release Date:07.23.2012 Page 1 of 4 TASK 2. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS ENGINEER will review the operational analysis of the intersections for the AM and PM peak hour traffic countstforecasts for the roundabout provided by Lee Engineering. ENGINEER will project traffic to a horizon year (construction year+ 20 year) scenario using typical annual traffic growth thresholds for the local area. A sensitivity analysis will be conducted by the ENGINEER to establish minimum and maximum lane configurations for the analysis period, and staged expandability options for additional lanes that may be needed 10 years or greater after construction, but less than 20 years after construction. ENGINEER will analyze horizon year traffic (turning movement counts) using ARCADY 9 (TRL) software. Independent Traffic Operations Analysis using ARCADY: • ARCADY is based on the empirical capacity equations developed through extensive experiments at the Transport Research Laboratory in the United Kingdom. With simple calibration of the model to account for typical U.S. conditions, ARCADY is proven to provide accurate prediction of roundabout capacity at all ranges of traffic flows. ARCADY output data will be used to compare the previously analyzed data, which may be more or less conservative. • If necessary, the ENGINEER will request anticipated traffic growth rates for the subject intersections to project traffic to a construction year+ 10 yr (interim year) and a construction year+ 20 yr scenario (horizon year). • The ENGINEER will report back on the predicted operations of the individual roundabout intersections based on the 1) Construction Year, 2) Construction Year+ 10 yr, 3) Construction Year+ 20 yr scenarios. Level of service and average delay per approach for each intersection will be reported for the AM and PM peak hour of each of the three scenarios listed above. ENGINEER will complete a technical memorandum documenting the operational analysis review and horizon year analysis results. ASSUMPTIONS • The ENGINEER will be provided with the traffic Engineering study for the subject intersection that was prepared by others. • The ENGINEER will be provided with the projected traffic growth rate noted above. No independent study shall be required of the ENGINEER to prepare a traffic growth rate for the interim and horizon year analysis. DELIVERABLES A. The ENGINEER will provide a memo to the CITY issuing the ENGINEER's opinion whether the ENGINEER's conclusions align with those of the previous study. B. The ENGINEER will attend up to one (1) meeting in-person with CITY staff to share the ENGINEER's analyses and suggestions.
