Baseline Conditions Analysis Clause Samples
Baseline Conditions Analysis. The consultant should prepare an approach to assess the existing transportation network within the study area. At a minimum, the Study Advisory Team believes this analysis will need to:
a) Obtain and review current ordinances and guidelines.
b) Gather base mapping data.
c) Review existing traffic volume and turning movement data and determine traffic volume count and turning movement count data needs. Depending upon location, RCMPO staff may be able to obtain the data.
d) Gather origin-destination information at locations to be determined in coordination with the selected consultant. It is estimated that a minimum of five origin/destination stations will be needed.
e) Gather other relevant data (land use, design plans, photography, utilities, functional classifications, existing development plans, etc.).
f) Identify traffic safety problems utilizing accident history and potential traffic safety areas based upon local knowledge.
g) Identify bicycle / pedestrian facilities, connections and needs.
h) Identify transit issues and needs.
i) Identify freight issues and needs.
j) Determine existing levels of service and operating conditions along key routes and intersections. Include analyses of AM peak, PM peak, and volume/capacity ratio for the existing time frame.
k) Review City and County development practices within the study area.
l) Review existing street / roadway design standards of all applicable agencies.
m) Identify existing capacity, geometric, right of way, and other deficiencies along key routes identified.
n) Develop a list of transportation issues currently facing the area.
Baseline Conditions Analysis. The Kittelson team will compile existing plans and data, plus perform original analysis, to understand current uses and needs (met and unmet) on the corridor. Data collection will include the following items listed in the table on the following page. Compiling these data, the Kittelson team will demonstrate the usage patterns of the corridor today and the extent to which El Camino Real creates a gap for given modes and trip types.
