Prepare Traffic Impact Analysis ■ Analyze existing intersection performance based on the Highway Capacity Manual delay methodologies. ■ Analyze existing plus project traffic volumes to determine intersection operation performance. ■ Determine traffic improvements needed to serve the above traffic scenario. ■ Analyze cumulative future traffic volumes to determine intersection operation performance without project traffic. n Determine traffic improvements needed to serve the above traffic scenario without project traffic. ■ Analyze cumulative future traffic volumes to determine intersection operation performance with project traffic. ■ Determine traffic improvements needed to serve the above traffic scenario with project traffic. ■ Analyze buildout future traffic volumes to determine intersection operation performance without project traffic. ■ Determine traffic improvements needed to serve the above traffic scenario without project traffic. ■ Analyze buildout future traffic volumes to determine intersection operation performance with project traffic. 1:\ca\djmUgreements\Kunzman Associates.doc ■ Determine traffic improvements needed to serve the above traffic scenario with project traffic. a Review funding sources for study area circulation improvements, including funded improvements. a Prepare a draft traffic impact analysis report that incorporates findings and all supporting calculations and assumptions. RESPONSES TO COMMENTS Review one set of governmental agency comments,whether verbal or written,and revise draft traffic impact analysis (if necessary). MEETING ATTENDANCE The proposed fee does not include attendance at public hearings/meetings,which may be required to secure approval of the project. If these are required and requested,attendance at follow-up meetings or hearings will be billed on a time-and-material basis. COPIES OF REPORT Two copies(one bound and one PDF for the client's use) of the traffic impact analysis will be prepared and submitted to the client. TIME SCHEDULE It is estimated that the traffic impact analysis will take approximately 15 working days to complete from the date of authorization, and date of receipt of data essential for the study. Additionally,any delays resulting from circumstances beyond our control such as,but not limited to, illness, equipment malfunction,weather, or employee departure, shall extend the time schedule. 1Aca\djm\Agreements\Kun=an Associates.doc EXHIBIT "B" RATE SCHEDULE Classification Billing Rate Principal $150.00 Principal Associate $125.00 Senior Associate $125.00 Associate $100.00 Junior Associate $ 75.00 Technician $ 40.00 Secretary $ 40.00 1:\ca\djm\Agreements\Kunzman Associates.doc EXHIBIT "C" WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE CERTIFICATION TO PERFORM TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES Every employer except the State, shall secure the payment of compensation in one of more of the following ways: (a) By being insured against liability to pay compensation in one or more 'insurer duly authorized to write compensation insurance in this State.
