Gil.bett, Director of Public Wo March 26, 1990 ('ouncil Meeting 4 -4 -90) Speed Study This requests authorization Charles Abbbott Associates t(: for the City. DISCUSSION A. Background to retain the services of prepare a Traffic Speed Study Section 40802 of the Caifornia Vehicle Code requires, as a prerequisite to the enforcement of any speed law with radar, the preparatic.i (dithin the past five years) of a traffic speed survey I1 1985 the City caused such a Speed Study to be prei�arEd. That report, and any supplements thereto, ha Enah -ed the City to use electronic radar devices in -he enforcement of speed laws. Five years has p st and the validity of that report is about. to exp_ -r-D t necessary, therefore, to cause another Traff c• Study to be prepared. B. Proposal In response to a request � ro n the City, Charles Abbott Associates has prepared a Proposal for the traffic engineering services nece:sary t,, prepare a new traffic Speed Survey. The Pror7s<_ (,attached) outlines the tasks necessary to prepare z report. 799 Moorpark Avenue -- p Moorpark alifornia 93021 (805) 529 -6864 City Council Speed Study Page 2 C. Standards The proposal stipulates :hat the Speed Study will be performed in accordant,:: with the standards and requirements of the California Vehicle Code and the California Department of ransportation Traffic Manual. D. Qualifications Kevin Smith, of Charles rtbbott Associates, will be the Project Manager for the project. The proposal stipulates that Mr. Smith has a great deal of experience in performing traffic speed surveys and preparing Speed Studies in a manner consi: -;tent with the requirements of the above standards.

RFP for Traffic Speed Studies March 23, 1990 Page 2 Kevin Smith, RE will be i i charge of this project and oversee each step in its progress.. Prior to joining our company, Kevin worked for the Californiai Department of Transportation. In his capacity with us and the state, he has prepared or reviewed numerous Traffic Engineering speed studies. These studies have always been found to satisfy tie requ trement of section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code. In section 40802 of the Cilifornla Vehicle Code, provisions are made which require traffic speed studies in areas where law enforcement agents are using radar or similar electronic devices for speed enforcement. The primary purpose of this section is to prevent local agencies from es- :ab:_ishing artificially low speed limits, thus creating speed tr,ps CAA will secure accident istor� in the form of SWITRS reports from the city or its agents, )rder vehicle counts for each of the designated segment, and field review each site to determine geometries and physi a] con.lition of the roadway. This information will the, bE� reviewed to determine which segments actually require traffic speed studies. Those not re- quiring survey [under CVC 4080' (b) 1 , 2), 3)] will be issued exemptions. For those requiriig survey, field crews will then collect existing speed data us ng a radar unit. This information will then be analyzed and summarized )n a "Traffic and Engineer- ing Survey Sheet" (see attach& samplo) which will be included with the final report and used Dy 1. rk enforcement and the courts for radar speed enforcement SCOPE OF WORK After reviewing your RFP t appears that 26 segment studies will be required. Tierra Re ?-'a ?a Pd. #21) will require review in 3 segments. will: In order to prepare the i t(-.,i -.1m. rnd final reports CAA staff 1) Obtain 2 year accLde t t ist,. >ry in the form of year end SWITRS reports from its stiff, their consultant or lo- cal law enforcement.. 2) Order Vehicle counts at each location (number and loca- tion to be approvt ?d y the 'i ty prior to beginning counts). 3) Field review each to at. on -o determine basic roadway dimensions, geometri s End haracteristics. CHARLES ABBOTT ASSOCIATES, INC. RFP for Traffic Speed StudieE March 23, 1990 Page 3 4) Once the information from numbers 2 and 3 above are available. Each segment will. be reviewed to determine if they are exempt under section 40802 b) of the California Vehicle C_,de. Any segments which qualify for exemptions will )e listed along with the reason for exemption. This Lis wil.1 be presented to the City showing the segment nd the default Prima Facia speed limit. The City wil then need to notify CAA if they wish to accept the emFrt are or proceed with full review. 5) CAA staff will then survey each remaining segment with radar equipment to oietai n required "existing vehicular speed" data. (Numbe s an,:t ocation to be approved by the City.) 6) Speed and accident, d,:ta wil be evaluated in accordance with Section 8.03 of the State of California Department of Transportation Tr ff ic° Manual. 7) Information gathered; calculated or observed in items 1 through 6 will thE�n e summarized on a "Traffic and En- gineering Study" shec:� (sample attached).
