construction of an integrated motor transportation system to serve the
Salina Metropolitan Area, and
WHEREAS, The City has requested that surveys and investigations for
the development of a Transportation Master Plan of the Salina Metropolitan
Complex be conducted and intends to enter into an agreement with the
Commission to jointly accomplish surveys and studies for the Master Plan
to include: Origin -Destination Survey, Street Needs Study, Land Use Study
and Projection of Travel Data, and
WHEREAS, The City desires to retain the services of the Consultant to
perform those study elements designated to be accomplished by the City, and
WHEREAS, The Consultant is qualified and competent and does desire to
furnish these services as hereinafter provided;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual

ARTICLE I
The City Agrees:
1. That upon approval by the Commission for the planning studies
hereinafter referred to, the City shall notify the Consultant that planning
surveys and studies may proceed.
2. To furnish a comprehensive travel study which will be conducted by
the Commission and will include: Internal Traffic Study, External Cordon
Survey, Truck Survey, with these data to be coded and processed as necessary
to accomplish the work specified under Article II.
3. Screen Lines will be established by State and City planning groups
to obtain interview control and adjustment factors.
4. Survey Zones will be established jointly by the several agencies
sponsoring the survey.
5. To furnish any basic information which may be on hand or is
easily available. This would include current street classifications and
inventory, traffic regulations, accident records, and the Land Use Studies,
along with all pertinent data which is currently being collected and will
be available for this study. The City, through its contract with the
Commission will provide any additional tabulations and the data processing
necessary to complete the traffic analysis and assignments.
ARTICLE II
The Consultant Agrees:
1. To conduct a Street Needs Study and develop a master street system
based on long range planning to provide for an integrated system of express-
ways, arterial, collector and local streets. The street needs program will
include suggested priorities, estimates of cost as well as methods of
financing, and will include the following:
a. Traffic Counts. A traffic count and.flow map will be prepared
for the urban area from information supplied by the Commission.
b. Street Capacity and Sufficiency. All principal streets and
highways will be evaluated for capacity under present oper-
ating conditions. Future street capacities will be developed
which will be used in developing street needs and priorities.
Street sufficiency will be related to the general criteria
for capacities set forth in the Highway Research Board manual
on traffic capacity.
c. Signal System. The adequacy of the present signal system will
be evaluated in terms of regulating present and future traffic
volumes. Recommendations will be made for the needs for
future signal installations as well as the revision of the
present system, if any.

d. Speed and Delay. Conventional speed and delay tests will be
conducted to determine travel times and the causes and amounts
of delays. These studies will be prepared on the major
arterial routes.
e. Accidents and Fatalities. A careful check will be made on the
cause, number and intensity of accidents in the urban area.
Recommendations will be made as to corrective measures to be
used in reducing these accidents through education, engineering
and enforcement.
f. Parking. A study will be made of present on- and off-street
parking practices and these will be related to future demands
for all available right-of-way for traffic capacity. Recom-
mendations will be made as to curb regulations and future
parking needs. A parking inventory will be prepared for the
business districts of the Metropolitan Area. Parking meter
revenues and trends will be analyzed as they relate to present
and future parking needs.
g. Transit System Analysis. The extent and use of mass transport-
ation facilities in the urban area will be determined and probable
trends in transit use will be related to the over-all transport-
ation problem.
h. Street Inventory. The existing street inventory data will be
brought up-to-date and completed,. These facts include street
width, right-of-way width, type of pavement, conditions,
parking regulations, etc.
i. Street Standards. A recommended set of standards for arterial,
collector and local street construction will be prepared as
part of the street needs study.
j. .Need Analysis and Cost Estimate. Principal routes and structures
will be studied to determine their adequacy to handle present and
future traffic loads and volumes. The selected standards will
be applied to the inadequate situations, following which the
costs to bring same to proper standards will be determined.
Costs will be estimated for right-of-way, clearing and grubbing,
excavation, structures, pavements, drainage, traffic control_
devices, signals, maintenance, engineering, administration and
any other necessary expenses.
The program will be prepared to cover several periods of time
(0 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, 10 - 15 years, etc.).
Alternate programs will be prepared for the development of
the recommended system. The program will include suggested
priority of improvements, the cost of new facilities, and
.the cost of reconstructing existing facilities considered
inadequate. 'It will also include an estimate of the annual
costs of maintenance and administration.

2. To conduct studies -and investigations for the Analysis and
Projection of Travel Data in order to determine and analyze present and
future traffic demands in the urban area and to formulate and evaluate
plans to accommodate anticipated travel volumes. Analysis will include
study of:
a. Characteristics of travel developed by the origin -destination
survey will be applied to population and land use estimates
for 1983 and future travel patterns will be developed. Zone -
to -zone, station -to -zone, and station -to -station movements
will be developed for estimated 1983 travel. Methods used in
determining projections, trip distribution and traffic assign-
ment volumes will be approved by the Commission.
b. 1963 and 1983 travel will be assigned to an approved system
of arterial streets to determine theiradequac_y to serve these
traffic demands. In case it is obviously impractical to
design an expressway or arterial for the indicated future
traffic, a definite recommendation for a solution tothe
problem shall be made, giving an estimate of construction
costs involved and a reassignment of the traffic affected.
c. Tabulations will be prepared indicating travel patterns
within the Metropolitan Area and to the principal traffic
generators. Internal and external dispersion of trips with
one or both ends outside the survey area will be shown by
charts and tables.
d. The origin -destination data will be analyzed in accordance
with Bureau and State procedures. All basic tabulations .
recommended by the Bureau's procedure manual, "Conducting
Home Interview Origin -Destination Surveys" will be presented
and analyzed.
3. To prepare 250 copies of the Final Comprehensive Illustrated Report.
All phases of the work heretofore discussed will be analyzed and presented
in narrative, graphic, and tabular form. The report will include a study of
present travel desires, description and analysis of present traffic conditions
and the projection of these patterns to future years. All information re-
quired for the development of a master street plan of expressways, arterial,
collector and local streets will be determined and discussed. All of the
basic Bureau of Public Roads tabulations will be included as an appendix
to the report.
