Mr. Geoff Nettleton March 21, 2023 110 Page 4 of 6 As a part of this task we assume up to one day of field reviews to ensure that equipment in the field (e.g., controller types, detection, Opticom, etc.) matches the city's documented inventory. We expect these recommendations will ensure the signal system will avoid obsolescence, incorporate resiliency, prepare for emerging technologies, optimize multimodal mobility and safety, and accommodate city growth. As a part of this subtask, we will coordinate with the Louisville Fire Department regarding priority locations for preemption. We are including subconsultant services from Collins Engineering for signal pole inspections using non-destructive testing. The result of this subtask will be a complete set of traffic signal projects, planning -level cost estimates, and priorities in different categories (either by purpose or by element). As an early action in Phase II of the Traffic Signals Management Plan, Fehr & Peers will identify priority traffic signal cabinets requiring replacement. Louisville currently has seven Type 1 signal cabinets. Key criteria to prioritize the cabinets include the age of the cabinet (potentially indicating obsolescence) or whether different operations strategies should trigger cabinet replacement. We assume peak hour turning movement counts and LOS analysis of up to seven intersections to determine whether new operations strategies are warranted. Implementation Plan (Capital Improvement Plan) Using the complete set of traffic signal projects and priorities described in the Recommendations and Suggested Priorities task, Fehr & Peers will create a five-year Capital Improvement Plan by applying proposed annual signal budgets provided by the City of Louisville as well as grant opportunities for timing/operations, technology, or new signals such as through DRCOG's Traffic Operations Program. The result of this subtask will be year -by -year project lists that can be used for annual budgeting purposes. As a part of this task, Fehr & Peers will deliver an updated version of the Traffic Signal Worksheet. We will update the worksheet to include new equipment or upgrades made during the course of the project. Additionally, we will deliver it in a digital format so it can be used for asset management over time. Signal Maintenance Contractor Scope of Work Support We understand that the city intends to release a RFP for a signal maintenance contractor in 2023. In Phase 1 of the Traffic Signals Management Plan, we interviewed peer cities to understand how they contract with different signal maintenance contractors. We will use the information we learned from these conversations, as well as information from Phase 1 of the Traffic Signals Management Plan, to support the city in developing the scope of work for the RFP. As a part of this task, we assume up to three rounds of review and comments/edits on the scope of work. We
