<br />Based on our current working relationship, and KimleyHornstaff's famlllarity with the Olty's needs, requirements, and
<br />goals, we will strive to act as an extension of City stag by providing as-needed englreering services, To accomplish
<br />s
<br />this, our strategy centers olpsely on the City's requirements, master plan elements, codes, ordinances, and applicable
<br />standards, as well as KftleyHnrn` experience, to maintain the high standards expected by the City. To demonstrate our
<br />f
<br />abilities, we have developed brief descriptlons of services to be performed for t6 City'e On-Call program;
<br />Civil Engineering and Roadway Design, These are the foundation ofArrilay-Horn's professional praotios..Kimtey-Horn"s
<br />team has provided public agencies with design services for publiciaoilitiessuch as. parks, parking lots,, parking structures,
<br />f
<br />Ilbrories,.senlor centers, and oommUnity centers; We have provided roadway design servicss to urban, rural, primary,
<br />seeondaty, and Interstate roadways, and, for clients ranging from public agenoles, municipalities and state 007sto private
<br />.x
<br />developers. We enticfpsts the City's design projects to Include intersection gsometrics, roadwoywidening and realignment,
<br />t
<br />utllity relocations, traffic central, slgning and marking, erosion control,.constmotlon, sequanoing, and sinal pians,
<br />l
<br />spsciticaEipns, and estimates (PS&E). We have golned extensive experience In dealing with local regulatory and other
<br />agencies to secure the permits and approvals necessary for the bullding and upgrading of publicand roadway facilities.
<br />,
<br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning and Design. Kimloy-Horn understands the importance of planning and designing
<br />F ',
<br />for alternative transportation modes such as bloyolas and pedestrlans, We employ state-of4he-art t0eh'nlques to
<br />accommodate and encourage the.use of alternative transportation modes and minimize Vehioular conflicts, and routinely
<br />design bike and pedestrian facilities using the AASHTO, FKWA, Calfrsns Highway Design Manuals, and NACTO Urban
<br />t
<br />Bikeway Design Guide. Typical municipal bike facilities could include Class I bikeways, sharrows, buffered bike Lanes and
<br />'
<br />cyole tracks, and bike hubs. Our firm has led numerous bicycle planning and design projects throughout the United States
<br />and have completed many local city pedestrian and bicycle facility master plans, developed comprehensive statewide
<br />plans and requirements for podestrisnlbioycle facilities, and designed over 260 miles of bicycle trails.
<br />i
<br />Green Streets and Complete Streets Design. Green Streets combine multiple elements allowing the roadway to be
<br />an extension of the sustainable environment. This method of sustainable roadway design can incorporate stormwater
<br />management elements -such as permeable pavements, vegetated water quality facilities, and open spaces that reduce
<br />runoff and strive to duplicate prodevolopment hydrology. Energy reduction technologies such as LED lighting and
<br />traffic signals are often Integrated and heat island effects are reduced through the use of reflective pavements and the
<br />incorporation of street trees, Green Streets can be designed with "Complete Streets" principles that encourage alternate
<br />modes of transportation. This is not an emerging dinfollne for Kimley=Horn, but recognition of how we can blend
<br />sustainability and roadway design.
<br />Traffic Engineering. KlmleyHorn Is an industry leader in traffic engineering, offering unparalleled expertise In traffic
<br />and transportation Impacts, methodologies to monitor development•generated traffic, and financing mechanisms for
<br />transportation improvements, Kimley-Horn offers complete in-house traffic engineering services such as traffic signal
<br />communication pad system integration design, intersection geometric design, signing and striping, traffic control plans,
<br />construction phasing plans, preparation of traffic Impact studies, traffic calming studies, speed zoning studies, safety and
<br />operations studies, accident analysis, pedestrian safety programs, parking studies, site access and circulation studies,
<br />and general consultation In traffic engineering.
