L <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • S1NC <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />AGENDA ITEM 111 <br />SUBJECT: <br />DISCUSSION — 2018 TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN <br />SCOPE OF WORK <br />DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 2017 <br />PRESENTED BY: MEGAN DAVIS, INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS DIRECTOR <br />SUMMARY: <br />As a part of the 2018 budget, Council has approved the completion of the City of <br />Louisville's first Transportation Master Plan. Attached is a draft scope of work for the <br />Transportation Master Plan RFP, which staff hopes to release before the end of the <br />year. <br />The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) will be the City's long range guiding document <br />for improvements to local and regional roads and multimodal transportation networks <br />that are aligned with the goals and vision for our desired transportation system. It is <br />anticipated that the plan will be a 5 — 7 year plan. The City's goals for the TMP are to be <br />more strategic with existing and future investments in the transportation network and <br />improve mobility and access in a way that is safe and convenient while minimizing auto <br />congestion and associated impacts. <br />Having a well-planned and coordinated transportation network is vital to the long term <br />fiscal health of the City, helps the City meet its sustainability goals, and helps to ensure <br />the City maintains its small town character. The TMP will help address the challenges of <br />facilitating mobility and access in a strategic manner and within the fiscal constraints of <br />the City's budget. The TMP will help the City anticipate demographic changes, <br />coordinate with regional plans and investments, and be equitable and supportive of all <br />segments of our community. The TMP will outline the City's vision for our ultimate <br />transportation system, our transportation and multimodal policy priorities, and capital <br />projects prioritized within our funding constraints. <br />The TMP Scope of Work was developed with input from Planning, Public Works and <br />City Manager's Office staff, as well as review of other municipal transportation plans <br />and RFPs. Some of the plans reviewed included the City of Fort Collins, Town of <br />Parker, City of Golden, City of Greenwood Village, the City of Boulder and Boulder <br />County. We also looked at RFPs from the Towns of Castle Rock and Silverthorne. <br />To garner local context for the plan, staff requested feedback from local government <br />and community partners on the plan scope. We received comments that the amount of <br />work contained in the SOW may be more costly than budgeted. In response, the SOW <br />was adjusted slightly, primarily removing the transportation modelling and <br />collection/development of primary data, and instead requesting that the consultants <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />17 <br />
