EXHIBIT A 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Santa Ana is soliciting proposals from traffic count firms to provide traffic counting services on an as-needed basis for one year. The total annual cost for the contract shall not exceed $30,000. The contract will have a provision to extend such services for an additional year. 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 mutually agreed to prior to the provision of services. From the proposals received, one firm will be selected. The City will enter into an agreement with the selected firm. As traffic counting needs are identified, they will be assigned to the selected firm. The City reserves the right to assign the work in any manner which will best serve the City's interests. II. SCOPE OF WORK The Consultant shall provide necessary services for collecting traffic count data for various studies on an as-needed basis. This may include, but not be limited to 24-hour ADT counts, 24-hour entering traffic volume counts, intersection turning movement counts for 2, 4, or 6-hour, etc. periods, hourly pedestrian counts, speed surveys, and machine vehicle classifier data. For the assigned tasks, the Consultant shall compile the traffic data and provide the following to the City: • For each ADT volume count, a two-directional 15-minute count sheet with hourly totals, similar in format to the sample in Attachment E. Note: Consultant must be able to provide up to 25 simultaneous count locations for neighborhood traffic counts. • For each entering traffic volume count, a 15-minute count sheet with hourly totals, containing all legs of the intersection (sample in Attachment E). • For each manual turning movement count, a 15-minute count sheet for each count period, with the actual peak hour(s) identified (sample in Attachment E). Note: Consultant must be able to provide LIP to 15 simultaneous count locations for neighborhood traffic counts or for various intersection locations throughout the City. • For each intersection pedestrian count, a 15-minute count sheet for each count period, plus a count sheet of manual (vehicle) turning movements, if requested. Note: Counts categorized by age group may be requested for certain locations. 7 251-9
