Scope of Services • Crash records and summaries, and • Intersection signal design layouts and signal timing data for signalized intersections. We understand that a portion of the above items will be completed by Bolton & Menk staff while preparing the Feasibility Report portion of the analysis. Where information is not readily available, data will be collected or assumptions made based upon the ITE Trip Generation Manual and other industry accepted sources. Task 1.113 Analyze Existing Data and Collect Data Bolton & Menk will analyze existing data including traffic counts and geometries. A field visit will be completed to verify the intersection geometry and traffic control, as well as include a visual check to identify hot spot locations, traffic operations, and congestion. The information used in the study to develop recommendations will be summarized. Traffic counts to be used in the analysis will be collected at the following intersections: • TH 10/169 at CSAH 83 (Armstrong Boulevard), • CSAH 83 (Armstrong Boulevard) at CSAH 116 (Bunker Lake Boulevard) • CSAH 83 (Armstrong Boulevard) at Alpine Drive NW • Alpine Drive NW at Bunker Lake Boulevard • Alpine Drive NW at Puma Street NW The locations to be studied include the intersections directly affected by development of the study area and also an intersection (TH 10/169 at CSAH 83) that influences access to the entire area. Peak Hour Turning Movement Counts will be collected for the AM peak period (generally 6:30- 8:30) and the Afternoon/PM peak period (generally 2:30 - 6:30). The exact hours of collection will be determined after discussions with the City, County, and State. Task 1.2: Development Traffic (Trip Generation and Distribution) The trip generation rate for the study area will be calculated using ITE Trip Generation Manual methodology. The distribution of the trips into and out of the study area to the roadway network will be based on the existing trip distribution and future forecasts trip distribution as available from planning models. We understand that there is the potential for phased construction as the area develops. Trip rates will be developed at year of phase 1 of development, phase 2 of development, and at year 2040 or 20 years after build out of the property (i.e. 20 years after phase 2 complete). These trips will be input onto the existing roadway network. Task 1.3: Traffic Forecasts Task 1.3A No -Build Traffic Forecasts Bolton & Menk will develop the "No- Build" traffic volumes at the specified counted intersections and critical roadways for the roadway network assuming an increase in background traffic. This background traffic growth will be determined using historical growth rates, school growth projections, and future 2040 traffic projections. Future Business Park RFQ I City of Ramsey, Minnesota 18
