<br />Sasad on our current working relationship, and Kimley-Horn staffs familiarity with the City's needs, requirements, and
<br />goals, we will strive to act as an extension of City staff by providing as-nsaded engineering services. To accomplish
<br />{
<br />this, our strategy centers closely on the City's,requlrements, master plandements, codes, ordinances, and applicable
<br />standards, as well as Kimley-born' experience, to maintain the high standards expected by the City. To demonstrate our
<br />i
<br />abilities, we have developed brief descriptlons of services to be performed forto City'e On -Call program:
<br />CIA Engineering and Roadway Design. These are the foundation of KlmlayHorn's professional practice. Kimley-Horn's
<br />y
<br />team has provided publlo sgencios with design services for public facilities such as parks, parking lots,, parking structures,
<br />libraries, sonioroentars, and community centers, We have provided roadway design services to urban, rural, primary,
<br />seccndary, and intarstate roadways, and for clients ranging from public agencies, municlpslifies and state DOTS to private
<br />developers. Wa antieipate the City's design projects to Include Intersection goometrlcs, roadway widening and realignment,
<br />utility relocations, traffic control, signing and marking, erosion control, construction sequencing, and final plans,,
<br />specifications, and estimates (PS&E), We have gained extensive experience In dealing with local regulatory and other'
<br />'h
<br />agencies to secure the permits and approvals necessary forthe building and upgrading of public and roadway facilities,
<br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning and Design. KlmleyHorn understands the Importance of planning and designing
<br />vi-
<br />for alternative transportation modes such as bicycles and petlesirians. We employ state-ofthemart techniques to
<br />i
<br />accommodate and encourage the use of alternative transportation modes and minimize vehicular conflicts, and routinely
<br />1
<br />design bikemodpedestrian facilities using the AASHTO,'FHWA, Caltrans Highway Design Manuals, and NACTO Urban
<br />Bikeway Design Guide, Typical municipal bike faoilftles could Include Class I btkaways, sharrows, buffered bike lanes and
<br />cycle 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 bloycie facility master plans, developed comprehensive statewide
<br />plans end requirements for pedestrlanibioycie facilities, and designed over 200 miles of bicycle trails,
<br />Green Streets and Complete Streets Design, Green Streets combine multiple elements allowing the roadway to be
<br />E
<br />an extension ofthe 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 predevelopment 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 discipline for KlmletHorn, but a recognition othow we can blend
<br />sustainability and roadway design,
<br />p
<br />Traffic Engineering, Kimley-Hom 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. KimleyHorn offers complete in-house traffic engineering services such as traffic signal
<br />communication and 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,
