1963 Transportation Study AgreementAGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES Between THE CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS And WILSON & COMPANY, ENGINEERS & ARCHITECTS Salina, Kansas TITS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 24th day of June , 1963, by and between the City of Salina, Kansas, Party of the First Part, hereinafter called the City; and Milson & Company, Engineers & Architects of Salina, Kansas, Party of the Second Part, hereinafter called the Consultant, ?s'ITNESSETH: That the City desires to conduct planning studies in order to develop a master.plan report for the metropolitan area that will include a continuing transportation planning program with the objective of expediting economic and cultural development of the Salina urban complex by facilitating the movement of traffic, providing for orderly development and avoiding the costly rebuilding or replacement of ill -planned or poorly constructed facilities. That the Federal Government, under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1934 and subsequent legislation, has made available 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 �.urds, are to be expended under the supervision and administration of The State Highway Commission of Kansas, hereinafter called the Commission. ::r'.EREAS, The Commission has .an interest in the development and ultimate construction of an integrated motor transportation system to serve the Salina Metropolitan Area, and W1HEREAS, 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, Assignment and Projection of Travel Data, and WH REAS, The City desires to retain the services of the Consultant toX perform those. study elements designated to be accomplished by the City, and id REAS The Consultant is qualified and competent and does desire to furnish these services as hereinafter provided; NO'.TH R ORE' in consideration of these premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows: 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. >. To furnish any basic information which may be on hand or is. easily available. This would 'include current street classifications and _nventory, 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: i. To.condugt.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 _nclude suggested priorities,: estimates of cost as well as methods of :financing, and will include the following: g. Traffic Counts. A traffic count and flow map will be prepared for the urban area from information supplied by the Commission. b. Street Caoacitv'and Sufficiency. All principal streets and highways._will be evaluated for capacity under present oper- ating donditions.. Future street.capacities will be developed which will ba 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. Si?ra1"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-q q. Sneed and Dplay. 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. 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 fo: the I usiness 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 pro- bable trends in transit use will be related to the over-all transportation problem. h. Street Inventory. The existing street inventory data will be I up-to-date and completed. These facts include street width, right -o£ -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, e:_cavation, structures, pavements, drainage, traffic control .devices, signals, maintenance, engineering, administration anti 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 Pro- jection 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 accomxoaate anticipated travel volumes. Analysis will include study of: 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 i11'be:developed for estimated 1983 travel. Methods used in determining projections, trip distribution and traffic assign- ment "volumes, will be approved by the Commission. 12. 1963 and 1983 travel will be assigned by a mathematical model under-the,supervision of the Highway Commission's Engineers ..to an approved system of major streets to determine their adequacy to serve the traffic demands. In case it is obviously.-_mpracticai to design an expressway or arterial for the.indicated future traffic, a definite recommendation For a.sol'ution to the problem shall be made, giving an esti- rate of construction costs involved and a reassignment to the traffic affected. o-. Tabulations will be prepared indicating travel patterns w"'hin .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. c. The.origin-destination data will be analyzed in accordance uith.Bureau and State procedures. All basic tabulations recommended by the Bureau's procedure manual, "Conducting Hone Interview origin -Destination Surveys" will be presented and analyzed:;: 3.
