iMr. Bruce Westby, PE <br />December 16, 2016 <br />Page 3 <br />Analysis <br />Upon completion of the field review, SEH will compile crash history information for the most recent 5 years of <br />available data (through the City and County and also through the State of Minnesota's crash website). SEH has <br />already performed an updated AM and PM peak hour traffic count (7-9 am and 4-6 pm) at the intersection as part of <br />nearby flashing yellow arrow analysis for the County and will use this information in order to determine current <br />traffic patterns and peak hour intersection usage. <br />Using existing signal plans, site review information, and data compiled for this intersection, SEH will perform a <br />brief but detailed analysis of the signal system to determine which movements are able to be upgraded to flashing <br />yellow arrow operations. A preliminary cost estimate will also be prepared for the City to determine estimated costs <br />to upgrade the individual signal system to have flashing yellow arrow operations. Equipment required to be <br />upgraded will be briefly listed for City information and consideration. <br />A letter report will be prepared for City (and County) review and consideration that will include: <br />• Analysis of traffic counts to determine potential time of day implementation of flashing yellow arrow <br />operations, <br />• Work recommended to be completed at this intersection, <br />• Limitations on implementation of flashing yellow arrow operations, <br />• Overall intersection estimated costs to upgrade to flashing yellow arrow operations, <br />Final FYA Design <br />As part of this analysis, no final design services for signal modifications are included in the proposed scope of work. <br />If requested, SEH can provide the City with estimated design and construction administration costs for construction <br />of FYA improvements for City consideration and budgeting. SEH can also provide the City with a separate <br />proposal which would include all design, bidding, and construction observation services needed to fully implement <br />the construction of these improvements. <br />Schedule <br />SEH proposes to begin work after a Notice -To -Proceed is issued by the City. We will complete a field review of the • <br />intersection in January -February 2017 and provide the City and County with our analysis findings by March 1, 2017. <br />Compensation <br />The proposed work program includes a detailed field review of the signal system, analysis and report preparation. <br />We propose to be paid for the work we do on an hourly basis based on direct labor costs, plus the actual cost of <br />reimbursable expenses. <br />The field review, intersection analysis, and report preparation work, as defined above, will be done on an hourly <br />basis (plus reimbursable expenses) for a cost -not -to -exceed of $1,700. These costs will not be exceeded except as <br />otherwise approved by the City. <br />Any additional tasks added to or deleted from this project (due to significant changes in the general scope of the <br />project or its design including, but not limited to, changes in size, complexity of character or type of construction) <br />shall be by written amendment to the contract signed by both parties. <br />
