A. Traffic Impact Study <br />As requested in the RFQ, Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. will conduct a traffic analysis to provide <br />traffic volume forecasts that can be used to inform the roadway design of Bunker Lake Boulevard and <br />Puma Street. This task will consist of the following work and assumptions: <br />Task 1: Turning movement counts (TMCs) will be collected at the following three existing intersections: <br />Bunker Lake Blvd. /Armstrong Blvd. <br />• Puma St. /Alpine Dr. <br />• Armstrong Blvd /Alpine Dr. <br />Task 2: A fourth intersection will be included in the study, Bunker Lake Blvd. /Puma St. background <br />volumes at this intersection will be interpolated from the adjacent intersection counts. <br />Task 3: Trips generated by the proposed business park will be based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, <br />9 Edition. <br />Task 4: Growth rates will be applied to the existing TMCs to determine 2030 background traffic volumes. <br />Growth rates will be based on the City of Ramsey's 2030 Comprehensive Plan or other updated studies <br />provided by the City. Travel demand model runs, are not included in the assumed scope of work. The <br />travel demand model will be used to understand future traffic growth assumed on surrounding roads when <br />developing background traffic. <br />Task 5: Summarize the information in a Traffic Impact Study. The study will analyze the AM and PM <br />peak hours of one horizon year, assumed to be 2030. Because the land adjacent to Bunker Lake Boulevard <br />and Puma Street under consideration is not developed, and a study of the existing conditions would not <br />contribute to the proposed design of these sections, the study will not include analysis of existing <br />conditions. <br />B. Feasibility Report <br />Hakanson Anderson will prepare a feasibility report that will discuss the required infrastructure <br />improvements necessary for the development of the subject property and associated costs. We would <br />summarize our Scope of Work as follows: <br />Task 1: Prepare three conceptual design layouts, including internal streets, trails, sanitary sewer, and <br />watermain alignments to evaluate the possible development patterns. The conceptual design layouts will <br />be a useful tool when determining potential sanitary sewer and watermain stub locations and will serve as <br />a visual aid to site developers on the development potential and options of the subject property. <br />Task 2: Meet with appropriate City staff to review and discuss the three conceptual design layouts. <br />Discuss the vision for the subject property and various factors affecting development. <br />Task 3: Based on the results of the traffic impact study, determine minimum roadway design <br />specifications for Puma Street and Bunker Lake Boulevard.
