Appendix ATTACHMENT I SCOPE OF WORK CITY OF SANTA ANA REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR TRAFFIC COUNTING SERVICES RFP NO.: 21-050 DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF WORK The City of Santa Ana is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) for Traffic Counting Services. Neighborhood requests for City assistance in solving intrusive traffic problems often require a series of traffic counts to be taken at specific locations over several days to confirm and then to monitor the intrusive traffic. In such a situation, it is important that the same firm be used throughout the study for consistency and reliability. In addition to typical counts for stop sign warrants, the annual contract for traffic counting services may also include the bi-annual city-wide Average Daily Traffic study, City-wide Turning Movement study, and traffic counts for our signal priority list studies. Pedestrian counts, speed surveys, vehicle classifications (using machines) and/or other services may also be requested as part of this contract. For services not specifically listed, a price for such services will be agreed to, if requested. From the proposals received, one or two firm(s) will be selected. The City will enter into an agreement with the firm(s). As traffic counting needs are identified, they will be requested on as needed basis. The City reserves the right to assign the work in any manner which will best serve the City's interests. A. IMPLEMENTATION I.
