CITY OF SANTA ANA 7 OCTA Existing System: The consultant shall coordinate with OCTA to survey and evaluate all existing transit equipment and operations that would be relevant to a cloud based TSP implementation. This coordination should include cybersecurity discussions with the OCTA Information Services team to ensure the proposed solution is viable within the existing environment. The consultant shall also coordinate with the OCTA Transit Planning and Bus Operations staff to collect bus operations, such as ridership, dwell time, and on-time performance for bus lines 66 along the project corridor. Field Survey: The consultant shall review the geometric layout, transit bus stop locations, at-grade rail crossings, verify and/or inventory existing traffic signal control and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) equipment, and identify any operational deficiencies for each intersection or road segment along the project corridor. The review shall include an assessment of the existing intersection lane geometry, traffic conditions, and traffic signal or ITS/telemetry control equipment along the corridor and at each intersection. Techniques utilized shall include but not be limited to visual inspection, available as-built plans, agency consultation, and agency provided aerial photos. Consultant will inspect and inventory the interior of each traffic controller assembly and ITS telematics cabinets, identify and report deficiencies to the City operations staff, and make recommendations for equipment upgrades that would make significant impacts to signal and/or transit operations. Consultant shall investigate and document factors that are expected to affect signal and transit progression including, but not limited to: intersections with high pedestrian or bicyclist volumes; over- saturated intersections; uneven lane distribution; high volumes of trucks and buses; high-volume un- signalized intersections, including interchanges; parking maneuvers; presence and location of bus stops; differing signal timing patterns among local agencies; etc. Existing Conditions Survey Memorandum: Following the collection of all data and field surveys, the consultant shall prepare a memorandum summarizing the corridor’s existing condition. The consultant shall also include an identification of all planned and programmed improvements (bike lane projects, intersection improvements, traffic signal improvements, transit improvements, etc.) on the project corridor. The identification of these projects shall at least include a list, summarizing all improvements. A photo document of each cabinet visited should be included in the Existing Conditions Survey Memorandum. The Existing Conditions Survey Memorandum shall also include a figure summarizing the existing corridor network’s ITS and TSP elements. This figure should provide enough information as a standalone image to use for meetings and discussions with corridor agencies and other Project stakeholders. Subtask 2.2: Project Benefit Analysis This sub-task will build off the Existing Analysis and Assessment and generate existing metrics to measure Project effectiveness. The existing travel and safety conditions will be fully baselined and evaluated using high-resolution vehicle probe, high-resolution origin-destination (O-D), and stakeholder datasets. Performance Metric Data Collection: The consultant shall pull data from the traffic signal controllers, OCTA Swiftly platform (e.g. On-Time Performance, Speed Maps, Run Times), on-board bus videos, and/or consultant proposed high-resolution probe (vehicle speed and O-D) to measure the project corridor’s baseline performance. The consultant shall coordinate with project stakeholders to identify key performance indicators that will baseline the existing travel and safety conditions along the project corridor and surrounding area, which may include, but is not limited to: x Average Travel Time, Delay, and Speeds x Bottlenecks in vehicular traffic
