Mr. Geoff Nettleton March 21, 2023 Page 3 of 6 Scope of Work Fehr & Peers delivered Phase I of the Traffic Signals Management Plan which included objectives for Louisville's signals system, an assessment of Louisville's existing signal infrastructure, and recommendations for operations and routine maintenance. Phase II of the plan will develop a capital improvement plan (to avoid obsolescence, incorporate resiliency, prepare for emerging technologies, optimize multimodal mobility and safety, and accommodate city growth) and an implementation plan for upgraded traffic signal infrastructure. The capital improvement plan will recognize recent work with the Fire Department regarding pre-emption and planned work to do a structural review of signal structures. In addition to completion of the Traffic Signals Management Plan, the proposal also includes the following tasks: • Assisting the City in developing the scope of work for a signal maintenance contractor • As an early action for Phase II of the Traffic Signals Management Plan, prioritize traffic signal cabinets for replacement • Signal re -timing at 18 existing signalized intersections, including collecting traffic counts and signal timing development • Develop standards and specifications for new traffic signal construction in Louisville • An umbrella task for other ongoing traffic signals support including traffic signal plan review through the development review process Traffic Signals Management Plan Phase II Fehr & Peers will complete Phase II of the Traffic Signals Management Plan, building upon the Phase 1 work we completed in 2022. We expect this task to be completed over approximately 6 months. Our deliverable will be a complete Traffic Signals Management Plan report, incorporating elements from both Phase I and Phase 11. We will incorporate up to two rounds of consolidated, resolved comments into the report. Project Management Fehr & Peers will check -in at least bi-weekly with Louisville's project manager regarding project progress. Throughout the project's duration, we assume up to six meetings to review interim deliverables or to discuss feedback on plan elements. Recommendations and Suggested Priorities In this subtask we will create a project list for different signal system elements. We will use the Phase I existing conditions assessment of traffic signals, controllers, cabinets, detection, preemption, and communications network; the project list will represent replacement or new items to upgrade the existing signals system to Louisville's desired state for signal infrastructure.
