Mark Thomas will prepare a California-Benefit/Cost (Cal-B/C) model. We will input project cost, schedule, average daily traffic (ADT), truck ADT, vehicle miles traveled, vehicle hours traveled, speed, and crash data into the model. The Cal-B/C model will then calculate project benefits which will include travel time savings, vehicle operating cost savings, emissions benefits, and safety benefits. We will also include residual project costs for structures in the Cal-B/C model. We will prepare a memorandum documenting the inputs and results from the economic model. This information, as well as the results of the Cal-B/C model, will be used to prepare the Performance Metrics Form.
