AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of Work Order No. 03 to Complete Additional Data Collection Runs for the 2023 U.S. 1
Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study ("ATTDS") in Segments 13-24, in the Amount of $57,704.85
Pursuant to the AECOM Transportation Planning Continuing Services Contract, Which Is Funded
Through a Joint Participation Agreement ("JPA") from the Florida Department of Transportation
("FDOT"), of Which Monroe Countys Portion of the Cost for This Work Order is $7,213.10.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The U.S. 1 Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study("ATTDS") is performed biennially to monitor the
Level of Service ("LOS") on U.S. Highway 1 ("U.S. 1"). The study is conducted for concurrency
purposes,pursuant to Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Policy 301.1.2 and Monroe County Land
Development Code Sections 114-2 and 114-200. Monroe County's adopted overall and segment LOS
on U.S. 1 is LOS "C,"represented by a median speed of 45 miles-per-hour("mph").
On November 8, 2023, the Monroe County BOCC considered the Draft 2023 Arterial Travel Time&
Delay Study. The Draft 2023 ATTDS reported an overall LOS D on U.S. 1 with a median speed of 44.7
mph, but indicated that all segments within unincorporated Monroe County currently operate at a LOS
C or better. The report noted that Traffic Signal Delays and Construction Delays were significantly
longer in 2023 than in 2021, and the Monroe County BOCC's traffic engineering consultant, AECOM,
suggested re-collection of data in 2024 on at least some segments, where construction delays were
excessive, and/or the Keys COAST project and signal retiming is underway and may improve traffic
flow.
At discussion-and-direction Item M2 on the published agenda of the BOCC's regular 8 November 2023
public meeting ("Discussion and direction on the 2023 U.S. 1 Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study and
the Preparation of the Biennial Assessment of Public Facilities Capacity Report"), the BOCC voted to
approve this recommendation for re-collection of data in 2024. AECOM has provided the attached
2498
scope of work for re-collection of data in Segments 13-24. The Florida Department of Transportation
("FDOT") has a traffic signal retiming project planned for February 2024 in these segments. The
additional runs will be performed in March 2024, following the FDOT traffic signal retiming project.
Once data is updated, the 2023 ATTDS will be updated and presented to the BOCC for review and
approval.
The cost of the work order, $57,704.85, is funded at 87.5% ($50,491.75)by FDOT through a Joint
Participation Agreement("JPA"). The County's share for this work order is $7,213.10.

US 1 Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study: 2024
SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR WORK ORDER NO. 3
US-1 Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study 2024
Monroe County, Florida
A. INTRODUCTION
The Monroe County Planning Department requested that a Travel Time and Delay Study
be conducted in certain segments that experienced delays due to roadway construction
and/or traffic signals during the 2023 Travel Time and Delay Study. Some segments with
signals will also be included as part of this study due to the upcoming FDOT signal
retiming effort that is expected to start in February/March of 2024. Based on these
considerations, the travel time runs will be conducted from Marathon (segment 13) to
County Line Sign (segment 24).
B. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Tasks 1 — 4: Travel Time and Delay Studies
Using the floating car method, the Consultant will record travel time, speed, and delay
data for the segments from 13 to 24. Data will be recorded by date, day of week, time of
day and direction.
The study will be conducted over 14 days within the four-week period in March 2024.
The study will consist of 14 round-trip runs, sampling each day of the week twice.
The study will employ the staggered schedule of departure times previously approved
by the US 1 Level of Service Task Force Team, so as to record peak hour conditions in
as many different locations as possible.
Task 5: Study Report
The study results will be summarized in a report, including a series of tables and graphs.
The travel time and speed data will be used to determine LOS and reserve capacity.
In addition, a statistical analysis of the mean, median, standard deviation, and range of
speed recorded for each individual segment and for the overall US-1 corridor will be
provided. Excess roadway capacities and deficiencies in capacity will be determined and
reported in accordance with the latest US 1 Level of Service Task Team Methodology.
Deliverables
The Consultant shall prepare the draft report for submittal to the County Planning
Department for review. Upon receipt of the review comments from the County Planning
Department, the Consultant will prepare the final report and submit it to the County
