DATA COLLECTION. ENGINEER will collect traffic volume data (through a subconsultant), travel time data, and existing controller data. Traffic volume data will include 8-hour turning movement counts (TMC) at six (6) project intersections and seven-day bidirectional machine traffic counts at one location in the project area. TMCs will be collected for a typical mid-week day during the school year and will avoid typical holidays and other known special events. ENGINEER will collect three rounds of traffic volume data: Initial, Interim, and Final. ENGINEER will collect travel time data derived from the INRIX Roadway Analytics platform, accessed through an existing TxDOT Statewide Contract. For typical weekday plans, travel time runs data will be collected and analyzed for a period of two weeks before and two weeks after implementation. Results will be summarized in the project summary report by corridor and travel direction and should estimate the travel time, road user cost, fuel consumption, and emissions savings of the new timing plans. ENGINEER staff will perform in-field observations of intersection operations and traffic patterns during weekday AM, Midday, and PM peak periods at the project intersections. These observations will take place at up to two (2) different days, to identify and understand current challenges along the corridors. During these observations, ENGINEER will also collect pertinent intersection geometry and control information for developing updated Synchro models. CITY will provide the current local controller and coordination timing for all project intersections. It is anticipated that this information will be provided in the form of printouts in PDF format. This information will need to include the following: • Phase layouts; • Local controller timing parameters; • Minimum and maximum green times; • Vehicular clearances (e.g. yellow and all-red); • Pedestrian timing (e.g. walk and flashing-don’t-walk); • Phase sequences; • Local special functions; • Coordination timing; • Cycle lengths, offsets, splits, and phase sequences; • Time-of-day, day-of-week (TOD/DOW) schedules; Docusign Envelope ID: DE3F7399-4893-8221-82D4-8926BAA6AF85 ATTACHMENT A DESIGN SERVICES FOR ROBSON RANCH ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPTIMIZATION STUDY PROJECT City of Denton, Texas Attachment A Page 4 of 7 • Special events timing; and • System-commanded special functions. ENGINEER will collect up to 120-minutes of drone video footage shot in 1080p at mutually- agreed upon locations on the project corridor during mutually-agreed upon times. Video files will be made available to the City once processing of the videos has been completed. ASSUMPTIONS • CITY to provide current local controller and coordination timing data, including phase layouts. DELIVERABLES • Traffic volume data (processed and raw data as collected by subconsultant) • Travel time data (processed data) • Drone video footage shot in 1080p TASK 3. DATA ANALYTICS ENGINEER will review and process the data collected in TASK 2. ENGINEER will analyze traffic counts database using Microsoft Power BI for statistics and summary of existing traffic signal operations. Data will be maintained in a georeferenced database that allows data attributes and status to be viewed in a format that allows for beneficial use in status reports and meetings, presentations to agencies and stakeholders, and visual sorting and presentation of data throughout the project and during future efforts. TASK 4. TIMING PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION ENGINEER will develop and implement three (3) rounds of optimized timing plans for the project corridor: Initial, Interim, and Final. Each round will include the scope of work described in this TASK. ENGINEER will observe existing field conditions of the signal and traffic operations during each of the periods for which timing plans are developed (AM, MD, and PM weekday peaks; SAT peak). During the observations, the Consultant will field review excessive queuing, traffic, and safety issues, and where capacity appears to be constrained. In locations where capacity is constrained, short-term operational improvement recommendations will be provided which are expected to consist of: • Phasing/sequence changes (i.e., addition or removal of split phasing, changing the wiring and phasing scheme of the intersection); • Detector replacements or additions; • Signal head replacements (i.e., changing from protected/permitted left-turns to protected only, and vice-versa, RT overlaps); and • Other low-cost improvements such as signing and striping modifications.

ENGINEER will reference all links and nodes in the Synchro model to North American NAD 83 coordinate system (U.S. State Plane) and North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) intersection IDs. Synchro outputs (i.e., queue lengths, arterial speeds, delay, etc.) of the existing conditions models are anticipated be analyzed to calibrate the models. ENGINEER will calculate basic controller interval parameters using the current state of the practice. ENGINEER will measure distances needed to establish basic controller interval parameters consisting of minimum green time per phase, yellow change interval, all red clearance interval, pedestrian walk interval, and pedestrian don’t walk interval from aerial photography. Measurements will be selectively verified in the field. ENGINEER will develop four coordinated timing plans (AM, MD, and PM weekday peak; SAT peak) for each signalized intersection along the corridor. For each intersection, ENGINEER will provide a daily schedule that indicates the time periods during which each plan should be active. This schedule should also indicate when the intersection should be running in FREE operation. ENGINEER will perform an “on-screen” review of each plan as it was initially produced by means of Synchro. As an initial enhancement, ENGINEER will make refinements that will improve the actual on-street progression. Using these enhanced models, the ENGINEER will generate each of the new signal timing plans. CITY will enter new timing plans into the controller databases. During this process, ENGINEER will provide on-call support. On mutually agreed-upon days, ENGINEER will observe new timing as it is made operational in the field. ENGINEER will then perform on-street fine tuning for the three (3) weekday peak periods (AM, MD, and PM). ENGINEER shall not access field equipment without prior approval from CITY. After completion of the fine-tuning, ENGINEER will schedule a meeting to discuss final implemented timing plans with CITY. ENGINEER will discuss the new signal and traffic operations and identify any issues that came up during implementation. CITY will provide ENGINEER an electronic copy of the final timing database. This information will then be used by ENGINEER to update the timing models to reflect fine-tuned conditions. ASSUMPTIONS • ENGINEER will develop and implement three rounds of optimized timing plans for the project corridor: Initial, Interim, and Final. • CITY will enter new timing plans into the controller databases. DELIVERABLES • Documentation of clearance time calculation methodology • Current conditions Synchro models Docusign Envelope ID: DE3F7399-4893-8221-82D4-8926BAA6AF85 ATTACHMENT A DESIGN SERVICES FOR ROBSON RANCH ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPTIMIZATION STUDY PROJECT City of Denton, Texas Attachment A Page 6 of 7 • Recommended optimized timing plans for implementation TASK 5.

You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us. All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
