i. History of the Firm and Corporate Structure
U Ids Corporation's oldest predecessor company was founded in 1904. U Rs
tagiswas established in 1951, and incorporated in '195 T as Broadview Researc h—
a research group active in the area of physical and engineering sciences. In
1967, management developed a growth strategy focused on building a
multidisciplinary professional services firm. In 1968, Broadview Research acquired United Research
Incorporated of Cambridge, Massachusetts. During this period, the name Broadview Research was
changed to United Research services and later shortened to RJR.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, URS continued to expand through internal growth and strategic
acquisitions that enhanced our enoneed ng, architectural and environmental practices. These
acquisitions included Madiga n- Praeger; Boverdale and Bo 1p itts; John A. Blume and Associates; Hill
Dreman chase; and Dalton, Dalton and Newport.
In 1996, U Ids further expanded with the acquisition of Greiner Engineeii n g, which broadened our
presence in the transportation ,market. The Woodward -Clyde Group joined URS in 1997, b ri n rng
additional environmental capabilities and a broader international presence to the organization. when
Dames & Moore Group joined the Company in 1999, it further widened our geographic base,
strengthened our program, and construction management expertise, added to our FORTUNE 500 client
base and expanded our presence in the ,mass transit ,market.
n 2002, the acquisition of EG&G Technical Services, a provider of management and technical support
services to U.S. government agencies --the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security in
particular —positioned URS among the ranks of the leading U.S. federal services contractors.
The 2007 acquisition of Washington Group International enhanced UR ' ability to provide integrated
engineering and construction services throughout the project life cycle --from planning, design and
engineering through construction to operations and maintenance, and decommissioning and closure.
The acquisition also expanded our capabilities in the power and nuclear management markets, as well
as in transportation, mining, defense, and industrial infrastructure and process.
Most recently, in 2010, URS acquired the Scott Wilson rou p----a global integrated design and
engineering consultancy based in the United Kingdom. The acquisition significantly expanded our
resources and capabilities in the united Nngdom and Ireland in critical infrastructure ,markets. It also
expanded our global footprint in continental Europe, China and India.
Today, URS has approximately 46,500 employees in a network of offices in ,more than 40 countries.
The Company provides the full range of program management; planning, design and engineering;
systems engineering and technical assistance; construction and construction management; operations
and maintenance; and decommissioning and closure services. U R ' business is focused on four key
market sectors: Federal, Infrastructure, Rower, and I nd ustri a I & Commercial. Our clients include the
U.S. federal government, national governments of other countries, state and local government agencies
in the United States and i ntemati ona lly, and FORTUNE 500 companies and other multinational
corporations.
Background
The Monroe County transportation condition is
unique. Nowhere else is there a chain of islands
over 100 miles connected by 42 bridges along a
single highway. Because of this unusual
geography, the Marry S. Truman Blue Star
Memorial overseas Highway (US 1, SR 5)
functions as an arterial, collector, and "Main
Street" all rolled into one. Us 1 is the lifeline of
the Keys, from both economic and public safety
perspectives. Each day it brings food, materials,
and tourists from the mainland, upon which the
Keys' economy depends. For most of the Keys, US 1 is still the only roadway connecting one island to
another. In the event of a hurricane, or even unusual high tides, Us 1 is the only viable read back to
the mainland.
While Us 1 is the principal highway in Monroe County, it is by no means the only road. Branching off
from US 1 are numerous local and collector reads serving the many subdivisions throughout the Keys.
In addition to the Keys roadway system, there are also two roads serving mainland Monroe County.
At present, there is no large-scale public transit in unincorporated Monroe County. Apart from a
localized transit system than provides service to Key west and Stock Island,, the Greyhound bus service
and recently established bus link from Miami -Dade County to Marathon are the only transit services that
exists In the county.
Other alternatives modes of transportation in Monroe County include non -motorized facilities, such as
bicycle and pedestrian ways. There are several miles of off -road bicycle paths and bike lanes within
Monroe county adjacent to Lis 1 and some of the major collector and residential streets. These
facilities also accommodate pedestrian movements linking residential areas, places of work, school,
shopping areas, and parks. Many of tl� ese bicycle facilities were developed from conceptual ideas
presented by Mr. shanmugam during hFs long and distinguished involvement in Monroe county affairs.

IIY. Project Approach
Key Project Issues
With first-hand experience in analyzing and reporting as well as
traveling within the transportation system of Monroe county, we
believe we are best suited to discuss some of the most critical
Frey issues facing the County. Furthermore, we provide
examples of solution on how we may apply our unique
resources toward those issues to better serge the County.
We recognize the most significant transportation and
development issue in the Florida Keys is to preserve
acceptable level of service (LOS) on U -1, The acceptable
level of service (LO ) threshold 'c' for US-1 in the Florida Keys
equates to an overall trawl speed of 45 MPH. Once the overall travel speeds fall below the acceptable
threshold speed of 45 MPH, the County is required to implement a countywide building moratorium
until the LOS conditions are brought back to acceptable standards. The overall travel speeds have
fluctuated over the years, somewhat related to the increase and decrease in traffic volumes in the
Florida Keys. For example: immediately after hurricane Andrew in 1992, the tourism industry suffered
and as a result there was a reduction in traffic volumes in the Florida Keys, which was reflected by the
higher travel speeds in 1993, 1994, and 1995. Conversely,. as the local economy was flourishing
between 2003 and 2006, the travel speeds declined, dangerously close to the minimum threshold of
45 mph in 2005. Again, the affects of the current economic conditions are reflected in the increasing
travel speeds in recent years as a result of the reduced traffic volumes on U-1.
The best way to avoid a countywide moratorium is to pay particular attention to trends that have been
notable from the historical data, specifically at individual segment level and develop proactive solutions.
For example, the 11 2-mile segment of US-1 in lower keys from Big Copp itt Key to Sugarloaf Key, and a
6.5-mile section of US-1 in Grassy Key has been consistently at or near the LOS threshold. Maintaining
the individual segment levels of serrrice helps to maintain the overall LO . Although by rule, pavement
cannot be added to US-1 to improve capacity in Florida Keys, the County should sanction FDOT projects
such as turn lane improvements, shoulder widening, signing and pavement marking improvements, etc.,
which helps to improve overall travel spuds.
As an example of the threshold conditions, the US-1 Segment ( 13) in Big Pine Key has been below
the acceptable LOS ` ' threshold since 1995. As a result, a building moratorium had been in place in
Big Pine Key and any development that may have added more traffic onto US-1 in Big Pine Key was
dented. An agreement made between Monroe County, the Florida Department of Transportation, the
Florida Department of Community Affairs# and the Department of Fish and Wildlife helped develop an
intersection improvement project to improve the poor operating conditions that existed for years at the
US-1 /ley Deer Boulevard intersection. In return the County and the State was required to fund the
Habitat Conservation Plan (f CP). Consequently, the Los on this segment of US-1 was found to have
improved to Los '' during the 2003 travel time study, resulting in lifting the building and development
moratorium. The allowable threshold of development in Big Pine ley is identified in the HCP.
Therefore, any new development in Big Fine Ivey should be restricted to that being identified in the H P.
However, it should be recognized that development outside Big Pine Key could easily result in this
segment again being under moratorium.
The unique functionality of U-1 in the Florida Keys, both as a local street and as a through fare,
posses some challenging issues. Monroe County is responsible for maintaining an acceptable Los
along U +1. whereas, the incorporated cities —ley West, Key Colony Beach, Islamorada, Layton, and
most recently Marathon, have their own goals which at times contradicts the Countyrs position and
makes it chal[enging. The URS team with our years of coordination and public relations expertise will
assist the County with bridging this gap with the cities.
TO MY "Ulr TO MAAA 1MOR It has been misunderstood by the public at large
AW
WAU-� that the transportation problems in
.err unincorporated Monroe County are caused by
uncontrolled development in the incorporated
cities, City of Ivey west in particular. we have
learned from our years of experience working in
Monroe County and collecting valuable data, the
transportation problems are not only
created by the Incorporated cities, but also
by the changlng travel patterns wfthin the
unincorporated parts of the County. For
example, we have learned from recent projects
7
Channel J � , , , I Kay Deer Sands Rd � ,
Bddu e
a . 8,W. z .. J conducted in Big Fine Key that there is a
111 significant spike in traffic volumes in the part of
US-1 in the center of Big Pine Key. The spine is caused by local travel patterns. Further, there is a
significantly hider volume of traffic between Big Fine and Key West as opposed to Big Fine and
Marathon. Developing transportation plans to address these Issues will be a way to handle the traffic
issues in B'ig Rine Key.
Alternate modes of transportation in Monroe County include non -motorized facilities, such as bicycle
and pedestrian trails. in recent years, many of the bike paths and bike lanes identified in the past have
been implemented and well utilized by the public and the need to Increase non -motorized faclii#les
Is high. The age-old saying is evident from the current use of these facilities ;if you build them, they
will come'. There are many more bicycle and pedestrian facilities identified through the 'Heritage Trails'
program, waiting to be implemented. The localized need for these types of projects can be identified
through the ongoing ' om m un [Keys'-. As well, the county should also promote the use of these facilities
through public information campaigns. As a full service engineering firm, the URS Team has the
capabilities to help the County to design, implement, and promote the much needed bicycle and
pedestrian facilities once they have been prioritize.
Currently there is a limited public transit service existing in Monroe County. It includes the bus
service within and between Key Kest and Stock Island, and between Marathon and Homestead.
Exploring the feasibility of promoting additional bus routes can be a means of increasing the transit
system to serve the general public in a better capacity. They could possibly include regular bus services
between Big Rine Ivey and Key west, which will faci I itate the recently observed commuter travel treads.
Again, a public awareness campaign should be developed to promote the use of the transit facility.
Project Understanding
US-1 Arterial Travel Time and Delay study: The Study has two primary objectives. First, the study
serves to monitor the level of service on US-1 for con currency management purposes pursuant to
Chapter 163 of the Florida statutes and Section 9.5-292 of the Monroe County Land Development
Regulations. second, the study will assist in establishing an empirical relationship between the volume -
based capacities generated by the l'lo nda standard Urban Transportation Modeling structure (FS Tl ls)
and the speed -based level of service criteria developed for Monroe County by the bs1 level of Service
Task Force.
The speed -based methodology was developed by the US-1 Level of service Task Force, a multi -agency
group with members from Monroe County: the Florida Department of Transportation, and the Florida
Department of Community Affairs. The methodology establishes a procedure for using travel speeds as
a means of assessing the level of service and reserve capacity of US-1. This methodology has been
used since 1991 to identify the level -of -service on Us-1 and manage growth in Monroe County. The
bRs Team Project manager: fir. shanmugam, has been involved is conducting the Us-1 Arterial Travel
Time Delay study since 1994, establishing uniformity, which is essential for the accuracy of this study.
The URs Team has the staff and equipment (vehicles equipped with DIVII, laptop computers, etc.)
necessary for this study. Individuals who have been assigned to work on this task have participated in
collecting travel time delay data and preparing the report, which is used for reporting the Dounty's
annual concurrency management requirements ! traffic component. In particular, Mr. shanmugam's
responsibilities included training consultants and county staff, as well as physically participating in the
travel time runs. He personally prepared the 1994, 1995 and 1996 study reports, presented to the
Board of County Commissioners and defended the outcome of the study and provided technical
solutions to alleviate constrained facilities. Since 1996, he has been directing other URS staff
members and county staff to do the same.
Traffic Impact Reports: According to Monroe County Land Development Regulation Sections, 9t4-
4 6; a traffic impact study is required for developments that generate more than 10 trips per day. The
intent of the study requirement is to manage growth such that additional traffic will not deteriorate the
infrastructure beyond the acceptable threshold and create safety problems to the general public within
the project site and on the surrounding roadway network.
We have assigned qualified individuals to provide this service. Mr. Shanmugam has provided Traffic
Impact Report Review services to Monroe County for the past sixteen years. He will be directing a team
of professionals to perform this task. Mr. Shanmugarn has reviewed over 100 traffic impact reports
during his 16-year service to the county, and assisted and provided guidance to County staff and
transportation consultants who prepare these traffic studies. With the dynamic condition that exists
with the county staff tumover, Mr. Shanmugarn longevity of service to the county, his experience and
historical perspective of issues are invaluable.
The Monroe county Traffic Reporting Guidelines was developed in 1996. For the past 14 years we have
given guidance to traffic consultants who use these guidelines to prepare traffic impact reports. Along
the way we have learned a few changes that need to be made to the guidelines. we propose to revise
the guidelines during the course of the new contract.
oncurrency Management: To complement the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, additional
support functions need to be included:
-0 Identifying collectors and secondary roadways.
Determining reserve capacity on the arterial (US-1), collectors and secondary roads.
Provide technical support to county staff to monitor roadway capacity.
This task also includes the preparation of the ounty's annual concurrency management report -traffic
component, preparing the annual deminimus report, and assisting the staff with developing land -use
overlay districts.
Mr. Shanmugam is well aware of the historical perspective of ounty's concurrency management
requirements. He will be assisted by Mr. Robert cursey, A1cP, who is a land planner, and support
service will be provided by other key staff having expertise in GIS and mapping.
Trip Generation Rates of Land Use: Because of the unique conditions than exist in the Monroe
County, the traditional trip generation's rates that are developed by the ITF do not lit the trip making
characteristics on Monroe County. To mitigate this discrepancy and to have meaningful trip generation
rates, this task has been creamed to develop trip generation rates for various specific land uses in
Monroe County. Mr. Shanmugarn has the academic background to conduct a research study such as
this. He will be assisted by Mr. Clark Tumer, a 40-year veteran of transportation engineering and
planning. Mr. Turner has been a consultant upon his retirement from his services to Miami -Dade
County.
Reaswssment of Methodollo& for Determining the Level -of -Service on U -1* In February 1991,
the Monroe county Commission adopted a policy to raise the LOS standard on US-1 from LOS D to the
FDOT standard LOS C. All other roads continue to have a LOS D standard. A final methodology for
determining existing levels of congestion and reserve capacity on U-1 in Monroe Counter was
developed in 1991 by a cooperatrve effort among staff from Monroe County, the Florida Department of
Transportation, the Department of Community Affairs, and the cou nty's consultant. This methodology
and corresponding analysis results were documented in the report tiled U-1 Level -of -Service Task
Force Summary of Final Recommendations (June 21, 1991). This methodology was originally
developed as an interim procedure on January 17, 1991. This procedure was revised in the spring of
1991 and subsequently adopted in final form by the County Commission on August 6, 1991. The
method for determining congestion and reserve capacity was based on existing measured travel speeds
for 24 segments of U -1. A reserve capacity for each segment of the facility and the number of
dwelling units that could be developers based on this reserve capacity were also documented.
This methodology was reassessed in 2001 to examine the validity for existing condition. The task team,
including URS staff, recommended minor changes to delay calculations in the event of a signal delay
and recommended to reassess the methodology periodically. As it was done in 2001, during the
course of this contract U IDS will take the lead in assisting the County Planning Director with reassessing
the methodology. As a related item, the potential replacement of 'Floating Car' methodology with more
current methodology that uses latest technologies, including the use of GPS coordination was discussed
during the 2001 reassessment of methodology and was turned -down by the task team.
As part of this task the US-1 Task Force Team will be reconvened to examine the methodology and
recommend ways to improve the procedure. We will, again revisit the possibility of using the new
technology to perform the 'Annual Travel Time Delay Study', The URS Team Project Manager, Mr. Raj
ha nmugam , and the supporting staff are familiar with the procedure through performing studies and
preparing reports for the past sixteen years, also has seen and identified a number of issues that need
to be considered.
Congestion Management Assistance: For this
task we will provide technical assistance to County
staff on congestion management issues. Technical
issues include representing the county before local
advisory and governing bodies, state transportation
and regulatory agencies, courts, and other
approval/hearing bodies. Mr. Raj shanmugamt Mr.
Julio Boucle, and Ills. Jenn ling will represent the
County on this and other issues. Mr. nann ugam
has a demonstrated ability to present complicated technical issues in a way that different groups can
understand them.
It has been over 16 gears since the preparation of the Monroe County Long Range Transportation Flan.
We propose to update the plan during the course of this contract, we also propose to create a
Congestion Management System (CMS) for the County under this task. A CMS is a systematic process
that provides information on transportation system performance and alternative strategies to alleviate
congestion and enhance mobility of persons and goods. The CMS will become a short-range
implementation strategy for the Monroe County Long -Range Transportation Flan. The CMS plan for
Monroe County will be a unique one.

U Rs has perfected an in -vehicle laptop computer with a G PWDM I interface that allows the riser
to
capture DM I readings, GPS coordinates, and streaming GPS traces within a
e singapplication. This
technology directly applies to travel time delay study assignment by allowingpoint and linear feature
data
capture to occur while i n the field. This system adds efficiency to the process and infuses a strop
quality control element at the source of the data collection. With the concurrent of the County staff,
URs can bring these data capture techniques to this project.
URS has developed custom Geographic Information System (GI ) applications using Arcview software.
Examples include the development of Functional Classification, Access Management, Section
g � Maps
(Key Sheets), and HPMS maps for many of our FDGT clients, and the ongoing task of "US-1
inventory+' for Monroe county.

Landscape Architecture Expertise
Combining skulls and talents of architects and engineers, the landscape
architect its responsible for the design of the exterior environment surrounding
a given structure of facility. The interfacing of architecture and engineering
creates appropriate,. harmonious and well-proportioned designs,,
From an architectural standpoint, the landscape architect is required to
combine man-made elements with natural elements into an aesthetically
pleasing environment that its functional, organizes space and avoids conflict
between the structure and the surrounding space. From an engineering
standpoint, the architect ;must consider the various positive and negative
aspects of the proposed site. This is a detailed process by which the
landscape architect must analyze and evaluate the following factors: zoning
ordinances, transportation routes and schedules, mining surveys, geographical
surveys, weather maps, existing and proposed utility systems, an analysis of
the high and low points on the horizon which give protection from or add to the sun and wind, water
sources, easements, restrictions, water analysis and more. once the architectural and engineering
concepts are developed, the landscape architect combines these aesthetic and practical elements into
the delicate balance between land and structure. Understanding the balance between the structure
and the environment and the impact of this relationship allows the landscape architect to fulfill various
client needs.
Our Landscape Architecture Expertise Includes:
• parks and Recreational Design
• Landscaping
• Trail blaster Planning
• Hardscaping / streetscaping
• Crime Prevention Through Environmental
Design ( PTED)
• Traffic Flog
Public Participation and Consensus Building
• s `ignage / way Finding
• Aesthetic and Amenities
• Stormwater Management
• Permitting
• Construction Administration
• Capital Improvements Programming
Combining a project's success often depends on the public positive perception of it.
The role and participation of the public and local communities have increased in
recent years and can greatly influence the decisions relative to a project. To avoid
prohibitive costs due to strong community oppositions, delays and even litigation,
U Ids develops and executes well -planned public involvement and communication
strategies.
UPS' well -honed programs will help secure the public confidence needed to expedite
the project by addressing public concems before they become problems; managing
g
o
information flow and media relations; resolving conflicts; and translating technical
issues and regulations into understandable language for the public.
By helping you identify interested parties and their concems about a proposed project, we can design
strategjes that effectively address many issues before they become problems including: pn oritizing
target audiences, developing ways to solicit public input, interviews with community leaders., and public
opinion surreys.
To help clients meet public 'involvement requirements for many regulations, our community relations
specialists team with our technical experts to develop and manage public involvement programs. we
have experience in programs fbr controversial facilities, such as hazardous waste sites, and commercial,
transportation, industrial# and energy development. These programs are often done in conjunction with
environmental planning and permitting efforts or remedial response actions.
Our Public Involvement Expertise Includes:
* Identification of public issues quickly and
analyze conflicts
■ Assistance in meeting govemmental
requirements
* Design effective strategies for public
participation

* Work with media
* Manage information effectively
The events of September 11r 2001,. demonstrated the vulnerability of the U.S. and other nations
around the globe to terrorist activity. Working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DH )
and local government agencies, URS is leading the effort to protect the country against catastrophic
attacks and esta bl `ish emergency preparedness and response programs,
The comprehensive expertise of URS is unmatched, covering a wide range of emergency management
planning and advisory services, we provide antiterrorism, threat and vulnerability risk assessments for
the nation's buildings, transportation infrastructure and power, water and food supply, and we design
force protection and security systems.
Our mitigation planning and emergency preparedness services help train local communities, government
agencies and businesses alike hoer best to respond in the case of another terrorist attack. URs
provides specialized training to the Department of Energy (DOE) and National Security Administration
(NSA) staff nationwide, other federal agencies and the military, as well as lair enforcement officers.,
firefighters and .,medical professionals.
Our experience and success in impact mitigation for more than 400 disasters its unparalleled in the
industry. Many of these capabilities have already been tested and have reduced the impacts of terrorist
events at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Postal Services Facilities. A recent example of our
expertise is the emergency management planning IRS has been conducting for the US Postal Service
(USP ). URS provided technical and policy support to the USPS for the development of an integrated
Emergency Management Plan (IEMP) template that establishes the basis for standardized incident and
emergency response at their 30,000 plus facilities nationwide. Currently., URS is working to update the
U PS emergency management policy and plans for compliance with both the National Incident
Management System (NiMS) and the National Response Plan (NI P).
URs was the first, and remains one of the fear firms (less than 5) to receive the DHs "Support for Anti-
terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies': (SAFETY) Act Certification for threat and vulnerability
assessments based upon our degree of experience and the methodology we utilize. For the TBRPC, this
means that DHs has reviewed our experience, capabilities and expertise, and determined that URS is
one of the few firms that meets their requirements and is an approved, qualified provider of Homeland
Security/anti-terrorism services.
Our security planning experience has covered each phase of the security Iife cycle. We recognize the
importance for planning for resiliency, and ensuring plans are actionable so that business can be
resumed as quickly as possible. Therefore, an essential focus when working with clients is assisting
them with the recovery phase. This includes ensuring that our clients have identified (i n advance) key
stakeholders, best practices, coordination mechanisms, its command structure, opportunities for risk
mitigation, policies, operating procedures and capital investments that will facilitate resiliency and
resumption of business. Importantly, it requires working with our clients to identify the "right" mix of
capital investments ---those that will create the greatest benefits given time and funding constraints*

several deficiencies and does not provide adequate information to the drivers, to easily and efficiently find their way to
their respected destination (cruise terminals), or the appropriate exit when leaving the Port Everglades. Furthermore,
the existing changeable signs are not aesthetically pleasing. The proposed Wayfinding Signage System is designed to
guide the drivers to their final destinations more efficiently iently and effectively, it will eliminate needs for changeable signs
throughout the Midport and the Northport area by combining Variable Message Signs and Fixed Directional Signs.
Furthermore, this system provides a sufficiertt number of exit signs to facilitate the drivers and cruise passengers in
accessing major highways and the ai rport upon exiting the Port.

fit. PROJECT APPROACH
The primary objective of this contract is to provide transportation engineering services to the Monroe county Public works
Department. on this contract, it is our understanding that tasks will mainly include but not limited to: (1) Annual US I Arterial
Travel Time & Delay Studies, which include (a) initial Setup and Scheduling, (b) Data Collection, (c) Data Reduction, (d) Periodic
Travel Time and Delay Study Data Submittal, (e) Meetings, and () General Transportation Planning Assistance.
ANNUAL 1US-1 ARTERIAL TRAVEL Tl M E & DELAY STUDIES
FRA Team is aware of various travel time and delay study procedures (Using Floating car Techniques) authorized by the Florida
Department of Transportation. Such methods include, but not limited to (1) Manual method which requires a test vehicle, driver,
observer, two stop watches, distance measuring instrument (DMI): odometer and Forms developed by FDOT (MUTS)t 750-0t}-
14 and 750-0D-19, () Computerized method which requires test vehicle, driver, observer, DMI,- Field Forms and are approved
computerized system, including data collection and analyzing software,, (S) Computerized method which requires test vehicle,
driver, a USB enabled GPS unit, a remote control and an approved computerized system including data collection and analyzing
software. However,. the computerized floaflng car method using a G PS unit is consider more wourate and economical. This
procedure will be used for the present studies, but only upon approval from the Monroe county. In using the floating car
technique, the driver floats with traffic in order to emulate the characteristics of an average driver along the roadway. A O PS unit
mounted on the top of the car is connected to a laptop inside the vehicle. The software installed in the laptop reads the data
from the GPS unit at a surprisingly high accuracy and records the Information on the travel time and delay characteristics
(roadway distances, speeds, number of stops, LDS, etc.).
After finalizing the procedure for the Travel Time
Delay Study, a detailed scheduling will be
conducted to complete all the tasks effectively
and in timely manner. The study will be
conducted during a typical weekday AEI and P
peak traffic conditions. A meeting will be
arranged with the Monroe county to discuss the
limits and the location of node points along each
router One test run will be conducted along each
route to identify the land marks of the starting
and ending points: node lotions, and to
estimate the time taken to complete each run.
The project completion time will be estimated
taking into account unforeseen conditions such
as, bad weather, traffic crashes and other
unusual conditions which can produce erroneous
results. Travel time runs with such erroneous
results will be re -conducted before submitting to
the county.
Data Oft
The data will be collected using a OFS receiver mounted on the top of the vehicle and connected
to a laptop. The FRA Team uses water proof G lobalset BU-M OPS Deceiver that has a USB
connector and plugs into a USB port on the laptop. Olobalsat BLI-
SSS receiver collects speed and global positioning information
.� every.
second to a surprisingly high degree of accuracy with 0.1
m/sec and I micro -second synchronized to OPS time. The OPS
Travel Time Data collector (O PS2LT2) software installed in our
laptops will read the real time date from the GPS unit while the
vehicle moving along the roadway. A Sluetooth enable remote
control will control the GPS2LT2 software and will be used by our
technicians to start and end reading the data. Selection of
$ilon 2,42
�4R.ALEMAN
intermediate node points grill not be required during the data collection process in the field. our new innovative technology will
enable us to select the node points using any GIS program, such as ArcGIS or TATUKG 1 . The PC -Travel software then can read
the data from the field and process the files into travel time studies.
Data Reductlor�
After collecting the field data using GP 2LT , the data will be processed to
generate reports using PC -Travel 2.1.6. PC -Travel for Windows is a software
program designed by JAMAR Technologies* Inc. for the analysis of travel time
and delay data. This program will run on the Windows 95, 983, NT, ME, 2000 and
XP operating systems. The program reads the data collected using a GPS unit
with GPS interface software (GP LT ). As a first step in using PC -travel, the data
collected from the field will be processed using a Process Gi 2LT " from the
menu bar. The data collected by the GPS unit such as,, Time, Speed, Heading
Direction, Latitude, Longitude' Satellite Used, etc will be shown for each second
of the travel time run. A through quality check will be performed at this stage to ensure the data collected in the field is logical
and appropriate. Information on the date of data collection, time of runs, length of runs, etc will reviewed to ensure the data
meets the client requirements. Rased on a detailed engineering judgment, the missing information on speeds, latitude,
longitude,, etc will be recollected in the field or corrected based on the preceding values for the same route. As a next step, the
data collected in the field will be trimmed to eliminate the extra data collected by the GPS Unit before the actual starting and
after the actual ending points. Different node points will be selected along the route using a GIS map to capture the travel time
and delay characteristics In the reports. Unlike the other procedures,, which require the technicians to collect the node points
while travelling, our innovative procedure allows us to select the node points using GIS maps in the Mice. This procedure
Increases the fety of our techn1dans In the field and reduces the cost of performing each run by using only one technician for
each route. As a next step, speed limes will
be set along each segment of the roadway
based on which PC -travel will generate the
average delay, average travel time at ideal
speeds, etc. The ideal speed in PC -travel is
calculated from the speed limits and
represents the speed at which a vehicle
would travel through a roadway segment if it
experienced zero delay. As a final step*
reports will be generated with information as
requested by the county. PC -Travel
generates results for each run
independently, including the average results
of all the runs.
GENERAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
ASSISTANCE
The FRA Team has will also assist the County in the day-to-day general transportation planning and analysis activities. The major
activities under this task will include but not limited to:
(a) Review of private development site plans for Internal traffic lows and access,
(b) Preparation of traffic impact reports, Review of access management issues,
(c) Development of access management plans,
(d) Origin -destination studies, Attendance at appropriate public meetings and hearings,
(e) Trip generation rates for land uses,
(f) Provision of review comments on relevant transportation documents prepared by other agencies,
(g) Review of transportation element of reports and plans prepared by County staff In support of the
comprehensive plan amendments,
(h) Systems planning analysis (including running the FSUTMS model or other transportation planning models
deemed as appropriate by Client and Consultants
i Reevaluation of the level of service methodology for tl 1,
0) Special transportation prgjects to Implement the comprehensive plan.
Once a Task Work Order is issued by the Project Manager' the first key step will be to develop a clear understanding of the
scope of work. Depending on the complexity of the task, the FRA Team will schedule a meeting with the County Project Manager
to discuss task requirements. Following this procedure* Mi. Kf boko, the FRA Team Project Manager, will prepare a
comprehensive course of action to complete every activity effectively and in timely ,,Wanner.

QuafflM urance & Qua& Control
A detailed quality check will be performed by the FRA's Project Manager during each stage of the Travel Time & Delay study
process. The study process will be monitored closely to see if any unacceptable deviations from the scope occur and will ensure
everything is under control. A minimum of six runs will be performed along each route in order to capture the average results of
the travel time and delay characteristics. The travel time runs will be reputed* if the results of a particular set of runs show
unexpected results,, compared to the average results. The FRA Team will ensure the travel time runs are made daring
reasonable good weather conditions, so that unusual traffic conditions do not influence the study results.
Also, if crashes or other unusual delays are experienced in the field that can produce erroneous resufts, the runs will be
terminated and will be repeated later on. The runs will be performed during a typical weekday to capture the effects of peak
conditions, unless otherwise specified by the Monroe county.
The FRA Team will submit the Travel Time & Delay study data and the corresponding reports to the Monroe county on a bi-
weekly basis. The reports will include summarized information of the roadway segments, link distances, speed limits, average
speed of travel, average delay, stop delay, roadway classification, Los, etc. In addition to the bi-weekly submitta Is, a final report
summarizing all data will be submitted at the end of the study. After the counties final approval from the county, we will submit
s hard copies and a CD containing all the detailed information of each individual runs from the software. The FRA Teem will also
submit the level of service and average speed information in the format requested by the Monroe county. once again, we must
mention that FRA Team has an excellent group of result -oriented professionals, with a high sense of responsibility and capability
of delivering work in all aspect of traffic engineering and planning, FRA Team is strongly familiarized with FccT and the county
requirements and standards, and this experience is the product of a wide range of projects in which FRA Team has actively
participated. Due c ons#demdon will also be gfven to ,,rational standards county standards and the procedures adopted by local
rr unlclrpalltles. In cases where conflicts ar1W the Monroe county standards will be applfedf unless otherwise instructed by
Project leaner.
The FRA Team believes that close coordination with the county staff is very essential to complete every task effectively and in
timely manner. Along with the face to face meetings, our team will utilize teleconference and emails as a mode of
communication with the county staff. Weekly project updates, which will include a two -week -ahead look, will be forward to the
County via e-mail. It is also cost-effective to have our right people talking to your right people so that when face to face
commutations takes place there will be less lost of information. The FRA teem will be available to meet with the County's staff
as needed.
