Mr. Michael Grochala June 28, 2016 Page 4 The traffic operations will be evaluated using Synchro/Simtraffic software for the signal and stop sign analysis and RODEL software for the roundabout analysis. In addition the analysis will include: conducting a crash analysis; evaluating the physical characteristics of the intersection including right-of-way impacts; preparing signal justification and/or roundabout justification analyses; and assessing project costs for the intersection. Task 4 — Preliminary Design/Concept Plan WSB will prepare concept layouts based on the recommendations from the Intersection Analysis (Task 3) that include the following features: • Recommended roadway geometric improvements • Intersection signing and pavement markings • Preliminary traffic signal design or Preliminary roundabout design • Right-of-way needs • Access accommodations and control within 500 feet in each direction from the intersection. The proposed concept plans will be prepared based on the City, County and State Aid design standards using the base mapping prepared in Task 2. This task will also include preparation of a preliminary construction cost estimate for the recommended improvements. Task 5 — Recommendation/Report Preparation A draft and final report documenting the data collection, study methodology, warrant and justification for the appropriate intersection control, conclusions and recommendations will be prepared and follow the Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) format and requirements established by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Anoka and Ramsey Counties and the City of Lino Lakes. The report will be prepared and signed by a WSB registered engineer and submitted to the City for review and comment. It is assumed that the City will provide one set of review comments. Following receipt of comments, a final report and recommendation will be prepared and submitted to the City for final approval and signature. The document will then be submitted to Anoka County, Ramsey County and MnDOT State Aid for review and approval. Task 6 — Agency Coordination/Meetings WSB will coordinate the preparation of the ICE Study with the City of Lino Lakes and all other impacted agencies though use of phone and email correspondence. In addition this task will include up to three team meetings with staff from the City of Lino Lakes, North Oaks, White Bear Township, Anoka County and Ramsey County. If additional meetings are required, WSB would bill those costs at our standard hourly rates.
