That the Federal Government, under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1934 and subsequent legislation, has made certain funds for highway planning, research traffic studies, and the preparation of planning reports. These funds, known as one and one-half percent Highway Planning Survey Funds, are to be expended under the supervision and administration of The State Highway Commission of Kansas, hereinafter called the Commission. WHEREAS, The Commission has an interest in the development and ultimate 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 covenants herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows: -1- I r 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. -2- 3 �� ,. � _ - ... ,. � , 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. -3- 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. ARTICLE III The City and the Consultant mutually agree: 1.
