<br />Based on our current working relationship, and Kimlay-Horn staff's faimIllarity with the Oltys needs, requirements, and
<br />goals, we will strive to act as an extension of City staff by providing as -needed eng1rie.efing services, To accomplish
<br />�w
<br />this, our strategy centers olpsely on the Qitys requirements, master plan elements, codes, ordinances, and applicable
<br />standards, as well as Kftley,�Ho 'experience, to maintain the high standards expected by the City. To demonstrate our
<br />, da
<br />abilities, we hove developed brief descriptlons of services to be perforided for to CIIY6 On-CAll prograim:
<br />Civil Engineering and Roadway Design. These are the foundation of Arrilay-Horn's proliesslonalpraotlos. Klmley-Horns
<br />toornhas provided.pWic agencies with design services for public'foollities,suchaa p4rks,, parking lots, parking structures,
<br />librorW,serilorcorders, and oommUnItycenters; We hove provided madwaydesgriservicos to urban, rural, primary,
<br />seconaalry, and Interstate foodways, and, for clients. ranging from publIcagenoles, municipalities and state 007sto private
<br />developers. Weenticlosts the City's design proje�stolnolvdeintergeGtiongoometric.9, road.woywid.oningondrealignmen.t,
<br />uIllity relocations, traffic central, �Ignlng and marking, erosion control,.popstruotloo sequionolng, and final plans,
<br />and estimates (PSIKE). We have golnedl extensive experience In dealing with local regulatory and other
<br />agencies to secure the permits and approvals necessary for the bulldlng and upgrading of.public and roadway facilities.
<br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning and Design. Kkaloy-Hom understands the Importance of planning and designing
<br />for alternative transportation modes such as bloyolas and pecleaklaris, We employ. state-of4he-ad t0ehilIqUes to
<br />accommodate and encourage the.use of Alternative transportation modes and minimize VOhlodlar conflicts, add routinely
<br />design bike and pedestrian facilities using the AASHTO, FKWA, Calksh§ Highway Design Manuals, and �ACTO Urban
<br />51keway Design Guide, Typical municipal bike facilities cowld Include Class I Wkeways, sharrows, buffered bike Lines and
<br />oVole tracks, and bike hubs. Our firm has led numerous blcy0e 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 podeatisa/bloycle facilities, and designed over 200 miles of bicycle trails.
<br />r
<br />Green Streets and fomplete 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 storrowater
<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 fighting and
<br />traffic signals are often Integrated and heat Island effects are reduced through the use of reflective pavements and the
<br />incorporation of skeet 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-Norn, but a recognition of how we can blend
<br />sustainability and roadway design.
<br />Traffic Engineering. Klmley-Horn Is an Industry leader In traffic anginearing, offering unparalleled expertise In traffic
<br />and tranaportarion Impacts, methodologies to monitor developmentgonerated traffic, and financing mechanisms for
<br />transportation Improvements, Klmlay-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.
