<br />Based on our current working relationship, and Klmley-Horn staif's familiarity with the City's needs, requirements, and
<br />'
<br />goals, we will strive to act as an extension of City staff by providing as -needed engineering services, To accomplish
<br />%
<br />this, our strategy centers olosely on the Gity's requirements, master plan elements, codes, ordnancss, and applicable
<br />standards, as well as Kimiey-Hornexperience, to maintain the high standards expected by the City. To demonstrate our
<br />abilities, we have developed brief descriptions of services to be performed for to City's On -Call program;
<br />d.
<br />Civil Engineering and Roadway Design, These are the foundation of Klmley-Horir:s professional practice. Kimley-Hom's
<br />xi
<br />team has provided publicagenoles.with design services for public facilities such as parks, parking lots,, parking structures,
<br />f.
<br />libraries, senior centers, and community canters: We have provided roadway design services to urban, rural, primary,
<br />secondary, and interstate roadways, and for clients ranging from public agencies, municipalities and state, DpTs to private
<br />(.7
<br />developers. We anticipate the C!Vs design projects to include intersection goometrice, roadway widening and realignment,
<br />)s
<br />utility relocations, traffic oontrd, signing and marking, erosion control, construction sequencing, and final plans,
<br />specifications, and estimates (MI;), We have gained extensive experience In dealing with local regulatory and other
<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. Klmley-Horn understands the Importance of planning and designing
<br />1
<br />for alternative transportation modes such as bioyelas and pedestrians. We employ state-of-the-art techhlques to
<br />accommodate and encourage the.use of alternative transportation modes and minimize vehicular conflicts, and routinely
<br />;
<br />design bike and pedestrian facilities using the AASHTO, FHWA, Coltrans Highway Design Manuals, and NACTO Urban
<br />Bikeway Design Guide, Typical municipal bikefacilities could Include Class I bikeways, sharrows, buffered pike 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 bicycle facility master plans, developed comprehensive statewide
<br />plans and requirements for pedestrian/bicycle facilities, end designed over 200 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 />i
<br />management elements such as permeable pavements, vegetated water quality facilities, and open spaces that reduce
<br />runoff and strive to duplicate predevalopment hydrology. Energy reduction technologies such as LED lighting and
<br />t
<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 he designed with "Complete Streets" principles that encourage alternate
<br />modes of transportation. This Is not an emerging discipline for Klmley--Nam, but a recognition of how we can blend
<br />sustainability and roadway design.
<br />t
<br />Traffic Engineering. Klmley-Horn is an Industry leader in traffic engineering, offering unparalleled expertise in traffic
<br />and transportation Impacts, methodologies to monitor dovelopment-generated traffic, and financing mechanisms for
<br />transportation improvements, Klmley-Horn 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.
