Exhibit A
Scope of Services
TASK 7.2. TRANSPORTATION STUDY
To assist with air quality and noise assessments and to develop intersection pavement
marking layout, storage lengths, and signal timing updates, Fehr & Peers will utilize
RIVCOM to develop peak hour forecasts at the intersection Washington Street & Avenue
50 and daily traffic forecasts on Avenue 50 from Washington Street to Park Ave.
We will collect traffic volume data during fair weather, while school is in session, and
during a typical (non -holiday, non-event) Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Given
seasonal travel trends in the Coachella Valley, traffic counts will be collected between
January and March when traffic volumes are the highest. Intersection peak period data
will be collected during typical commute periods (7:00 — 9:00 AM, 4:00 — 6:00 PM). Vehicle
classification and bicycle and pedestrian peak hour counts will be collected. The daily
traffic counts (up to two 24-hour roadway counts) with vehicle classification (truck
percentage) and speed will be performed on the study roadway.
Forecasts for the design year (2045) will be prepared by applying the Difference Method,
which adds traffic growth from RIVCOM base to future year models to existing counts,
consistent with National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 765.
Forecasts for the opening year will be prepared by linearly interpolating between the base
year and the design year.
The following will be documented in Excel format:
• AM and PM Peak Hour Intersection Level of Service (LOS) and average vehicle
delay for the Avenue 50 and Washington Street intersection
• AM, PM, and Off -Peak average speed along Avenue 50 between Washington
Street and Park Avenue
• VMT along Avenue 50 between Washington Street and Park Avenue
• Medium and heavy vehicle percentages along Avenue 50 between Washington
Street and Park Avenue
• ADT along Avenue 50 between Washington Street and Park Avenue
This scope assumes the project 4-lane, westbound approach to the intersection will drop
the second lane into a right turn only to accommodate the newly painted Avenue 50 `Road
Diet' project west of Washington Street.
