Survey Methodology. The County will survey at market average. Salary data will be compiled at the top step of the applicable benchmark.
Survey Methodology. The survey shall be accomplished using the methods and procedures required by the RFP, or when specifically requested, using the following publications: A Guide for Analyzing And Reporting Energy Use and Characteristics Of Commercial Building, ASHRAE; Technical Assistance Report, Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria, California Energy Commission; Federal Register, 10 CFR Parts 450-455; and Architect's and Engineer's Guide to Energy Conservation in Existing Buildings, Volume 2, Energy Conservation Opportunities, U.S. Department of Energy (Attachment J.1). Sample Tables and Forms can be found in the first two publications.
Survey Methodology. A. All steps in each salary range shall be increased by the same percentage. The salary for intermediate classifications in ranges between the Entry and Supervisory levels shall be based on prorating or interpolating the salaries.
Survey Methodology. 12.1 If it is determined by the HSP that a Heritage Survey is required, then the methodology to be adopted and the report delivered will be in accordance with this clause.
Survey Methodology. The methodology for administering the survey will involve a travel diary format. ETC Institute will design and implement a process for recruiting participants, administering the survey, and retrieving the survey data. ETC Institute will also be responsible for developing the actual survey instruments that will be used to record each participant's household data and trip data. Partially completed household travel surveys will be replaced.
Survey Methodology. Table 15 summarizes the characteristics of the 2008 and 2009 survey samples. TABLE 15 - Survey Response Summary Survey Day/Period Direction Surveys Collected Passenger Counts Response Rate (%) 5/27; 6–9 am S/B 266 1318* 20.2 2008 Pre- Deployment 5/28; 6–9 am S/B 213 1483* 14.4 5/29; 4–6 pm N/B 93 387** 24.0 TOTAL 572 3188 17.9 5/13; 3-6 PM N/B 277 414 66.9 2009 Post- Deployment 5/14; 3-6 PM N/B 72 110 65.5 TOTAL 349 524 66.6 * Passenger counts are for all 95 Express runs within the specified Day/Period/Direction ** MDT staff expressed concern that the passenger count on 5/29 appeared low and could be in error In both surveys, passengers were surveyed on the trunk section of the 95 Express route between downtown Miami and Golden Glades Interchange. Comparing the two surveys, it can be seen that the 2008 survey has a larger overall sample size, primarily due to being conducted over three days instead of two. The large disparity in response rates between the two surveys is due to the fact that passenger counts for the 2009 survey were conducted only on bus runs where surveys were distributed, while in the 2008 survey the passenger counts shown are for all runs completed during the surveyed period (as passenger counts on individual bus runs were not conducted). This also explains why the passenger counts were much higher in 2008, and thus response rates were much lower. Expansion factors (typically used to correct for variation in levels of non-response on individual bus runs) were not applied to either dataset due to passenger counts not being collected on individual runs in 2008. However, sensitivity testing using the 2009 dataset, where individual run count data were collected, showed that the application of expansion factors had a negligible impact on the survey results. Therefore, while we would have preferred to apply expansion factors to both datasets, we are confident that not doing so does not have a significant impact on the comparability of the two surveys. The other comparability issue is that the majority of 2008 survey respondents were surveyed in the southbound direction in the AM peak period, while all 2009 survey respondents were surveyed in the northbound direction in the PM peak period. While this significant difference in sampling limits the use of the complete 2008 dataset for any sort of travel behavioral comparison, the fact that the vast majority of 95 Express users ride the service in both directions each day (87 percent of the 2009 ...
Survey Methodology. Table 24 summarizes the characteristics of the 2008, 2009, and 2010 survey samples. In all three surveys, passengers were surveyed on-board the express buses between downtown Miami and northern Dade and Broward Counties. There have been some methodology changes from year to year, primarily in the number of days the survey was collected, and the direction in which they were conducted. Table 24: Survey Response Summary Survey Day/Period Direction Surveys Passenger Response Collected Counts Rate (%) 5/27; 6–9 am S/B 266 1318* 20.2 2008 Pre- 5/28; 6–9 am S/B 213 1483* 14.4 Deployment 5/29; 4–6 pm N/B 93 387** 24.0 TOTAL 572 3188 17.9 2009 Post 5/13; 3-6 PM N/B 277 414 66.9 Phase 1A 5/14; 3-6 PM N/B 72 110 65.5 Deployment TOTAL 349 524 66.6 5/11; 6-9 AM S/B 281 393 71.5 5/11; 3-6 PM S/B 207 317 65.3 5/12; 6-9 AM S/B 320 N/B 591 54.1 5/12; 3-6 PM S/B 182 N/B 364 50.0 5/13; 6-9 AM S/B 105 118 89.0 N/B 2010 Post Phase 1B Deployment N/B N/B 5/13; 3-6 PM S/B N/B 75 112 67.0 TOTAL 1,170 1,895 61.7 * Passenger counts are for all 95 Express runs within the specified Day/Period/Direction ** MDT staff expressed concern that the passenger count on 5/29 appeared low and could be in error. In 2008, buses were sampled over three days and in both directions. In 2009, buses were sampled over two days but only in the northbound direction, hence the smaller sample size when compared to 2008. In 2010, surveys were conducted in both the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. Most were collected in the peak direction (a.m. is southbound; p.m. is northbound). However, a small number of surveys were conducted in the non-peak direction as well. Hence both “S/B” and “N/B” are annotated in Table 24 for the 2010 survey. Passenger counts were collected on the individual buses for the 2009 and 2010 surveys, while in 2008, passenger counts were collected for all 95X runs during that day/period/direction. This led to a significant difference in calculated response rates. Finally, the 2010 survey included the new Broward County routes as well as the original Route 95X. The Sheridan Street and Broward Boulevard routes were identified collectively in the survey as the Dade-Broward Express. The Pines/Hollywood Express was identified as such, and the original Route 95X was identified as the Route 95 Express. Expansion factors (typically used to correct for variation in levels of non-response on individual bus runs) were not applied to any dataset when comparing 2008 and 2009 due to the difference in passeng...
Survey Methodology. In preparation for 20162019 negotiations, the City shall conduct a salary survey subject to the following:
Survey Methodology. If after the consultation about the Heritage Notice set out in clause 8 above it is determined by the Parties that a Heritage Survey is required, the methodology to be adopted and the report delivered will be in accordance with this clause. S ubject to clause 9.3 but otherwise despite anything else in this Agreement, the Claimant Group is not obliged to provide culturally sensitive information. The information provided by the Claimant Group and recorded a Survey Report will be determined as follows: Where the Proponent provides details in its Heritage Notice only of a particular Exploration Activity to be undertaken pursuant to its Current Work Program, the Survey Report will clearly indicate (using maps and co-ordinates) that part of the Exploration Activity that is cleared or not cleared. Should the proposed activities change then a new Heritage Notice will need to be issued.
Survey Methodology. The survey is included as Appendix A. The survey targeted the 30 local MS4 program supervisors. A mail questionnaire was selected as the most appropriate format, for several reasons. The sampling frame provided by WVDEP did not include e-mail addresses or telephone numbers for many of the permittees. Also, many counties in West Virginia have only limited Internet access, so respondents may not have access to e-mail or Internet sites. Finally, web surveys are not cost effective when the targeted population is small (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2002). Because MS4 communities are spread across the state, extensive personal interviews were prohibitively expensive and time consuming. In general, telephone interviews with respondents such as program supervisors are difficult to complete and often require several calls to schedule a time to complete the survey. In addition to the mail survey, authors conducted personal interviews on a limited basis to refine the survey tool, to increase our response rate, and to clarify some answers provided on returned surveys.14 A first wave of the survey was mailed to all 30 respondents during the second week of May, 2007. Three weeks later, telephone calls were made to all MS4 supervisors who have not yet returned their surveys. Respondents who express a willingness to complete the survey on the telephone were given the opportunity to do so. A second copy of the survey was mailed to all non-respondents during the first week of July, and either telephone or personal interviews were attempted with all non-respondents throughout July and August, 2007. A total of 22 surveys were completed either by mail, telephone, or personal interview.15 The number of returned surveys affected the analytical methodology used. It should be noted that phone and personal interviews provided significantly more comprehensive survey responses and would be recommended as more effective and appropriate approaches for such a survey of busy public officials. Time savings from the mailing approach were not significant considering calls had to be made to all non-respondents and multiple mailings were conducted, and such savings were undermined by the sparse responses on many of the surveys returned by mail. Because of the small number of cases and the fact that most responses were categorical rather than interval level, only nonparametric analysis could be conducted. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Excel software were used to perform the quanti...
