The PM shall perform Data Collection and Research and validate existing border data for the following elements: • Current Status of Texas Border The PMs shall verify limits of existing border fence and tactical infrastructure along the entire Texas border delineating between the five US Border Patrol Sectors. Types of infrastructure shall be identified and status of current construction shall be summarized. • Status of Real Estate Information The PM shall verify limits of real estate tracts that has fence and tactical infrastructure connecting through the property and those tracts that could potentially connect to new fence and tactical infrastructure alignments. • Location and Limits of Existing Data (topo, geotech, floodplain, utilities, environmental) The PM shall verify existing data relevant to Texas Border Program including topography, geotechnical, floodplain, utilities and environmental. • Included Additional State Data into Database
Existing Conditions Analysis. As a part of this work, we will review previous Kitsap County documentation on housing issues and relevant plans and guiding policies to ensure the project team fully encapsulates baseline conditions and the current regional and local housing trends on Bainbridge Island before proposing housing strategy recommendations. This task work will help the team identify the geographic factors affecting demand for
Existing Conditions Analysis. The Parties and consultant(s) will document and analyze the existing transportation network and traffic conditions, including the following:
i. The under-construction Champlain Parkway, including permitting requirements;
ii. Existing Level of Service (LOS) calculations for each roadway segment and intersection within the immediate vicinity of 125LSA/68SL, consistent with VTRANS Impact Study Guidelines.
Existing Conditions Analysis. Existing condition intersection models (up to 7 intersections identified in the turning movement count list) shall be developed using Synchro® software for IH 40 for both AM and PM peak hour. The existing traffic count data and geometry information from the field review shall be used for developing the model. The existing conditions model shall be calibrated to queuing information obtained from the field review. Corridor operations within the study area shall be analyzed using Highway Capacity Software (HCS) and will include the various analysis modules (Basic Freeway, Ramps – Merge & Diverge and Weaves). Models shall be developed utilizing the existing traffic count data and geometry information from the field review. The existing conditions model will be calibrated using balanced field traffic counts and data collected from travel time runs and vehicle queue information obtained from the field review. Summarized measures of effectiveness shall include travel times, approach delay, intersection delay, and 95th percentile queue length. The results of the analysis will be utilized for the IAJR.
Existing Conditions Analysis. REVIEW PREVIOUS PLANS AND PUBLIC INPUT Foursquare ITP will contribute findings from other recent studies we have conducted, such as Bloomington Transit Route Optimization, to the review of previous plans and public input portion of this task. Our involvement in this task will ensure the forthcoming MTP builds upon a depth and breadth of existing studies. We will work with B&N and BMCMPO to capture the most relevant previous work. DEMOGRAPHIC AND COMMUNITY TRENDS We will also lead the demographic and community trends analysis, evaluating a variety of factors including transportation performance measures (e.g., traffic volumes, transit ridership, travel flows, funding) as well as factors that influence travel demand (e.g., employment and population density, zoning, first/last-mile connectivity, technology, socioeconomic factors). We will leverage existing data sources as much as possible for this analysis and supplement as needed with additional data collected from the U.S. Census Bureau, INDOT, BMCMPO, the City of Bloomington, big data sources like Replica, and others. This trend analysis, coupled with the existing conditions assessment and resulting needs identified, will provide insight into how various trends will accentuate needs or potentially help address them. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS Foursquare ITP will support B&N in conducting a detailed review of the existing transportation system, specifically the transit element. We will document features such as routes, stations, stops, amenities, and facilities using readily available GTFS data, GIS data, desktop research, and other sources. We will also document operational and environmental characteristics to convey the context in which transit service is provided. We will document service and performance statistics such as access and ridership. We will work closely with B&N and Toole to ensure all transit elements are well integrated with the roadway, active transportation, and intermodal elements. EXISTING CONDITIONS SUMMARY We will assist B&N with presenting transportation system and demographic trend findings in a concise and user-friendly memorandum with relevant charts, maps, and infographics.
Existing Conditions Analysis. An existing conditions analysis will be conducted for Thompsons Creek Tributary 10.1. LIDAR and survey data will be imported into HEC-RAS for developing the 1D river network, 2D hydraulic model, or combination of 1D and 2D hydraulics. This includes existing culvert information. Other characteristics such as n-values, appropriate ineffective flow areas, and need for blocked obstructions will also be included. Unsteady flow data will be imported from the HEC-HMS model at appropriate flow change locations. Downstream boundary conditions will be assumed at normal depth with a pre- defined slope. The upstream and downstream limits of the existing model will be sufficient to capture any potential impacts stemming from the project.
