AGENDA REPORT '" ` "' `
BY:TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Director 1
DATE: December 14, 2016 (CC Meeting of 12/21/2016)
SUBJECT: Consider Authorization to Execute Professional Services Agreement
for Los Angeles Avenue Traffic Study and Resolution Amending the
Fiscal Year 2016/17 Budget to Appropriate $70,000.00 from the Los
Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution Fund (2014) for the Preparation
of a Los Angeles Avenue Traffic Study
DISCUSSION
On September 7, 2016, the City Council authorized staff to request proposals for a
study of traffic on Los Angeles Avenue in order to help with future decisions on traffic
improvements as well as with preparation of an update to the Circulation Element of the
General Plan. On October 9, 2016, staff sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) to four
traffic consultant firms that had expressed interest in the study: Linscott, Law and
Greenspan; Fehr and Peers; Gibson Transportation Consulting, and Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc.. A copy of the RFP is attached. Only one firm, Kimley Horn and
Associates, Inc., responded to the RFP. A copy of their proposal is attached in the
back of the draft Professional Services Agreement (Attachment 2).
Staff reviewed the proposal and met with representatives from Kimley-Horn and
Associates to discuss the proposal. The proposal is responsive to the RFP and the
costs are in line with what was expected for this work effort. The estimated costs
include $5,112.00 for detailed traffic counts and $95,819.00 for the analysis, including
three meetings/presentations, for a total of $100,931.00. Kimley-Horn and Associates
has relevant experience looking at surface street traffic corridor issues for the Cities of
Agoura Hills and La Canada-Flintridge. An origin/destination study was included as an
optional component of this study. Staff does not recommend including this additional
task at over $20,000.00. It is a labor-intensive effort, with limited value as it would only
reveal how many trucks travelling on Los Angeles Avenue are "through-traffic" and how
many trucks make local stops in Moorpark. This information is not needed to optimize
the management of traffic on Los Angeles Avenue, the primary goal of this study.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total proposed work effort without the Origin Destination Study is $100,931.00 Staff
recommends including an additional $9,069.00 in the budget for this project for
contingencies and additional work that may be determined necessary by staff during the
course of this study, bring the total project budget to $110,000.00 The Fiscal Year
2016/17 budget includes $75,000.00 for the General Plan Land Use and Circulation
Element. This study would provide much of the information needed to complete the
Circulation Element, as many of the future traffic growth issues to be addressed in the
Circulation Element are expected to involve Los Angeles Avenue. Staff recommends
using $40,000.00 from the existing budget for the Land Use and Circulation Element
(1000-161-00000-51000) for the Los Angeles Avenue Traffic Study, and appropriating
$70,000.00 from the Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution Fund (2014).
A resolution amending the Fiscal Year. 2016/17 budget (Attachment 3) is required to
appropriate funding from the Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution Fund for the Los
Angeles Avenue Traffic Study.

City of Moorpark
Los Angeles Avenue Traffic Study
Request for Proposals
INTRODUCTION
The City of Moorpark ("City") is requesting proposals from qualified consulting firms to
perform an analysis of traffic flow and related information for Los Angeles Avenue/State
Route 118 as specified in the Scope of Work.
BACKGROUND
State Route 118 (SR-118)/Los Angeles Avenue (LA Avenue) within the City of Moorpark
is the focus of this proposed Traffic Study. LA Avenue is a conventional at-grade
highway and is the City's major east/west route. The 1992 Circulation Element included
the addition of a 4-to-6 lane arterial (labeled on attached Highway Network map as "SR-
118") extending from LA Avenue east with a connection to the SR-118 freeway. None
of this route has been built. Based on current Caltrans' criteria for a freeway
connection, it's likely that this arterial would only be constructed as a two-lane road
between LA Avenue on the west and Spring Road on the east to serve new
development. On February 7, 2001, the City Council effectively eliminated the idea of an
SR-118 bypass (now referred to as North Hills Parkway) as a truck route alternative to
LA Avenue. At that meeting, the Council directed that thiseast/west arterial terminate
at Spring Road on the.east. Prior Council action had prohibited all non-local truck traffic
on Spring Road.Figure 2 from the 1992 Circulation Element is attached.
In the City of Moorpark, LA Avenue extends approximately 3.2 miles from the west City
limits to its intersection with the SR-118/SR-23 freeway interchange (freeway
interchange). SR-118 is part of the National Highway System. The number one concern
expressed by Moorpark residents is the amount of truck traffic in the city. SR-118 and
SR-23 are the only designated truck routes within the City. There is a sense (and some
evidence) that a large number of trucks traveling LA Avenue do so to avoid the CHP's
commercial scales at Conejo Grade on US Highway 101 and the steep grade there.
The CHP currentlyoperates a platform scale on westbound Los Angeles Avenue west
of the City limits on a part-time basis. The approximate 1.2 mile segment of LA Avenue
from the freeway interchange west to Moorpark Avenue (SR-23) is the combined SR-
118/SR-23. An approximate 1.0 mile segment from the. westerly City limits to the .
Gabbert Road/Tierra Rejada Road (GR/TRR) intersection is one travel lane in each
direction. The segment east of the GR/TRR intersection includes a painted fourteen
foot median, left-turn lanes at all street intersections, and sections with two travel lanes
and three travel lanes. in each direction. The ten signals between the interchange
ramps and Tierra Rejada Road were interconnected in 2007.
From approximately 1,000 feet east of GR/TRR intersection to Moorpark Avenue, there
are three travel lanes in each direction. Currently, the City is completing designs (not
yet approved by Caltrans) for improvements that add a third travel lane in each direction

between Moorpark Avenue and Spring Road. The proposed improvements include a
dedicated right-turn lane for westbound LA Avenue to northbound Moorpark Avenue
(SR-23). There are currently three eastbound travel lanes in each direction east of
Spring Road to the freeway interchange and three westbound travel lanes from this
interchange to about 1,500 feet east of Spring Road. The conditions of approval for
Industrial Planned Development (IPD) Permit No. 2009-01/Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) No. 2009-01 require the improvement of LA Avenue from GR/TRR west about .6
miles. The improvements will include two travel lanes in each direction, eight foot (8')
bike lanes on each side, a raised median, and a new signalized intersection at the
westerly point of the described improvements. The Cityis also planning a raised
median along the entire 3.2 mile segment of LA Avenue. Caltrans has conditionally
approved a raised median from the freeway interchange to about 1,200 feet east of
Spring Road. SR 118 between the west City limits and SR 232 (Vineyard Avenue) is
currently one travel lane in each direction with no passing lanes and with numerous
driveways and intersections, most without dedicated turn lanes. Neither Caltrans nor
the County of Ventura have future projects planned for improving this section of SR 118.
Between about 2000 and 2008, the City funded a projectto interconnect the traffic
signals along LA Avenue. As of early 2008, Caltrans assumed responsibility for its
operation and maintenance. Part of the scope of work will be to determine the status
and effectiveness of this system.
In 2002, the City Council authorized a study to assess the feasibility and cost related to
'possible establishment of a prohibition or restriction (Restrictions) of non-local truck
traffic on LA Avenue between the SR 23 freeway and SR 232 (Vineyard Avenue). The
study limit was originally to SR 34 and later expanded to SR 232. Parsons was the
consultant retained for this study.
In the initial phase of the study, Parsons concluded:
1. The National Highway System (NHS) designation for SR-118 would not have to
be rescinded in order to place Restrictions on non-local truck traffic; and
2. All of the truck Restrictions established on State Highways were justified for
safety reasons and further Federal law prohibits any State from restricting truck
traffic on State Highways, except for safety reasons.
On May 21, 2003, Parsons and City staff presented findings and recommendations to
the City Council as follows:
1. No basis for safety reasons to justify a truck Restriction was supportable;
2. Request increased enforcement at the existing truck inspection station; and
47
Los Angeles Avenue Traffic Study
Request for Proposals
Page 3
3. Request Caltrans to pursue a permanent truck inspection station.
In the 2003 Parsons study for LA Avenue corridor, traffic volumes ranged from 29,400
to 57,800 vehicles per day with about ten percent (10%) of those numbers being truck
traffic. It was estimated that about sixty-five percent (65%) of the traffic was not
generated by land uses along the study corridor.
Even prior to this date, the City had been working with Caltrans, VCTC, and the County
of Ventura to place truck inspection stations on LA Avenue. In December 2002, staff
presented a Caltrans prepared Project Study Report (PSR) for the SR-118 Weigh
Stations. The PSR recommended two Class C Weigh Stations (one for each direction)
west of the City limits. The estimated cost was then $20 million. The PSR did not
address staffing of the Weigh Stations. Staff estimates it would cost between $750,000
to $1,000,000 annually to staff and maintain the scales in each direction for eight (8)
hours per day, Monday to Friday. The PSR identified a potential State funding source
subject to California Transportation Commission approval. To date, funding has not
been secured and no further work has been performed by Caltrans.
SCOPE OF WORK
The primary purpose of the study is to determine ways to improve and optimize traffic
flow on LA Avenue including achieving and maintaining Level of Service (LOS) C at all
intersections. The study will also be used as the primary source document for an
update to the City's Circulation Element. An update of the Land Use Element is
currently being prepared. Consultant will be provided Base Year and General Plan
build out projections. The Scope of Work does not include:
1. Preparation of a Traffic Model
2. Evaluation of complete streets requirements
3. Preparation of General Plan Goals and Policies
The following items are to be included in the Scope of Work:
1. Since LA Avenue is a State highway, the work shall conform to Caltrans'
requirements.
2. Current and future traffic volumes for all vehicles with separate count and
projections for commercial vehicles (trucks); Compare this data to US-101
(between 1-405 and SR-126) and SR-126 (between US-101 and 1-5) and to
similarly situated conventional state highways in Southern California.
3. Truck volumes; Impact of trucks on travel speeds/intersection capacity; Include
an hourly count of weekday truck volumes.
4. Benefits and negative traffic impacts, if any, of installing a raised median.
5. Evaluate signal synchronization and signal timing. Is Caltrans' signal coordination
optimum? Is the interconnect system operating as designed?
48
Los Angeles Avenue Traffic Study
Request for Proposals
Page 4
6. If allowed by Caltrans, would permissive/protected left-turn signals improve
intersection capacity?
7. Peak hours - What will the addition of a third travel lane have on travel speeds
during peak hours?
8. Benefit, if any, of lengthening left-turn lanes or adding a second left-turn lane at
certain intersections; e.g. westbound LA Avenue to southbound Moorpark
Avenue.
9. Benefit, if any, of having a larger curb radius where there are no right-turn lanes
10. Pedestrian crossing impacts; Are there potential benefits of pedestrian bridges?
If so, where? What design criteria needs to be considered (height, width, length,
accessibility)?
11. Distance between signalized intersections and best locations for signals. What
impacts/benefits if eliminate signal at Park Lane and make it right-turn only and
require traffic on south side of LA to use Moorpark Avenue to go west and on
north side to go to Leta Yancy to go east? What are impacts/benefits of not
constructing proposed signals at Millard/LA and Shasta/LA? Will additional
signals reduce regional traffic? If so, by how much?
12. Is there a need for parallel routes north and south of LA Avenue; i.e. Lassen
Avenue between Park Lane and Moorpark Avenue, and from 1984 LLG Study,
Unidos/Majestic from Leta Yancy to Spring Road?
13. Do existing "Bypasses" such as Gabbert Road to Poindexter Avenue to Moorpark
Avenue to High Street and Moorpark Town Center alley between Moorpark
Avenue and Park Lane divert significant amount of traffic? Does Tierra Rejada
Road divert a significant amount of regional traffic from LA Avenue?
14. What impact will future North Hills Parkway from LA Avenue to Spring Road have
on LA Avenue traffic volumes?
15. Assuming no further widening of LA Avenue beyond three travel lanes in each
direction and 118 feet of right of way, the street configuration is:
8ft 8ft (3) 12ft loft (3) 12ft8ft 8ft
Parkway Bike Travel lanes Median Travel lanes Bike Parkway
lane lane
16. Forecast 2035 traffic volumes.
17. Conduct traffic safety review including but not limited to traffic accident data.
18. Confirm current LOS at all LA Avenue signalized intersections and what future
actions are needed to achieve/maintain LOS C at each intersection at all peak
times out to 2035.
19. Would the installation of and operation of permanent commercial vehicle scales
on LA Avenue have an impact on truck volumes?
20. What are the current traffic volume and future capacity of SR-118 west of the City
to SR-232 (Vineyard Avenue) if it remains a two-lane highway?

Exhibit A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Consultant will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Consultant will use
existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not
meet requirements set forth here, Consultant agrees to amend, supplement, or endorse
the existing coverage to do so. Consultant acknowledges that the insurance coverage
and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage
required. Any insurance proceeds available to the City in excess of the limits and
coverage required in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be
available to the City.
Consultant shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office (ISO)
"Commercial General Liability" policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense
costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for
claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no
event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than
$2,000,000 general aggregate.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including
symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no
event to be less than $1,000,000 per accident. If Consultant owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability
policy described above. If Consultant or Consultant's employees will use personal autos
in any way on this project, Consultant shall provide evidence of personal auto liability for
each such person.
Workers' Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as
required by law with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or
disease.
Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be written
on a policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, error or
omissions of the Consultant and "Covered Professional Services" as designated in the
policy must specifically include work performed under this Agreement. The policy limit
shall be no less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. The policy must "pay
on behalf of' the insured and must include a provisionestablishing the insurer's duty to
defend. The policy retroactive date shall be on or before the effective date of this
Agreement.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying
coverages. Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs
62
Contractor's Name Page 10 of 15
payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at
the time insured's liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured
first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by
one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to the City for injury to
employees of Consultant, subconsultants, or others involved in the Work. The scope of
coverage provided is subject to approval by the City following receipt of proof of
insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than
$ aggregate.
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size of VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and the City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds the City, its officials,
employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement CG 2010 with an
edition prior to 1992. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors and
subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the right
to subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights
against the City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to
require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or
applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to
the City or its operation limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to the City and approved in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification, and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not
make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability
or reduction of discovery period) that may affect the City's protection without the
City's prior written consent.
63
Contractor's Name Page 11 of 15
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to city at or
prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance
is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled or
reduced at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, the City has the
right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its
interests under this or any other Agreement and to pay the premium. Any
premium so paid by the City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant
or deducted from sums due Consultant, at the City's option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide thirty (30) days notice to
the City of any cancellation or reduction of coverage. Consultant agrees to
require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording
stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation or reduction
of coverage imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed
to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply
first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or
self-insurance available to the City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved
with the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by Consultant, provide
the same minimum insurance required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to
monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring
that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this
section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors
and others engaged in the Work will be submitted to the City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees
that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer, or other
entity or person in any way involved in the performance of Work contemplated by
this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to the City. If Consultant's existing
coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-
insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time, the City shall review
options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the
deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant
ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional
compensation proportional to the increased benefit to the City.
64
Contractor's Name Page 12 of 15
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any
steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this
Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the
part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with an insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations to the City nor does it
waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as the City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to
this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled
or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until
the City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring
during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other
policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has
been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter
from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of
insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these
specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to
the City within five days of the expiration of coverage.
17. The provisions of any Workers' Compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not
to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to the City,
its employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-
inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of
this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts or
impairs the provisions of this section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any
party involved in any way with the Work reserves the right to charge the City or
Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
65
Contractor's Name Page 13 of 15
Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to the City. It is
not the intent of the City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying
with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against the City for payment
of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. The
City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not
the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to
involve the City.

RE: Proposal for Los Angeles Avenue Traffic Study
Dear Mr.Bobardt and Members of the Selection Panel:
Los Angeles Avenue(State Route 118)is a primary arterial in the City of Moorpark that experiences severe congestion due
to high truck volumes,slower truck speeds,and significant start-up/lost-time at signalized intersections.The City is looking
for a consulting firm that can evaluate the existing corridor traffic signal timing and operations,signage/striping and turn
restrictions,and other factors that would help improve the traffic flow.Kimley-Horn has provided similar services to cities
throughout the local area for many years,and is excited about the opportunity to work with you on your project.As you will
see in our proposal,the Kimley-Horn team offers many benefits,including:
Unsurpassed Local Understanding.This project will be managed from our Woodland Hills office by a team of people who
live locally and drive this corridor regularly.We are accessible for staff meetings and work sessions on short notice,and we
can offer knowledge of local conditions because we are a local team.I,Sri Chakravarthy,P.E.,will serve as Project Manager
and have assembled a specialized team of engineers who possess a substantial amount of experience providing similar
services to agencies across Ventura and Los Angeles Counties—including Caltrans District 7,Agoura Hills,Thousand Oaks,
Simi Valley,Camarillo,and Malibu.Our team's local understanding enhances our ability to accurately predict both positive
and negative impacts and reduces the amount of time that your staff must spend managing the selected consultant.
Extensive Traffic Study Experience.Our team has conducted operational and infrastructural assessments for signal
system studies,signal optimization,signal warrant studies,operational studies,traffic calming studies,accident and safety
studies,sidewalk needs studies,and median modification studies.We have the expertise to address any traffic need that

1. Project Understanding, Approach, and Scope of Work
Los Angeles Avenue(State Route 118) is the backbone of the City of Moorpark's east-
west circulation network, providing access to residential, industrial, and major commercial
centers. Los Angeles Avenue (L.A.Avenue) is a two-lane facility from the City s western limits
;,: to Tierra Rejada Road,a six-lane facility between Tierra Rejada Road and Moorpark Avenue,
a four-lane facility between Moorpark Avenue and Spring Road,and a six-lane facility
�• between Spring Road and its terminus with State Route 23. L.A.Avenue between Moorpark
Avenue and State Route 23 is also signed as State Route 23.
A part of the National Highway System (and maintained by Caltrans), L.A.Avenue is a major
route for trucks.There is evidence to suggest that, in addition to avoiding the significant
grade on U.S. 101 between Camarillo and Thousand Oaks,trucks traveling to and from Port
Hueneme use L.A.Avenue to avoid the commercial scales also located at the top of the
Conejo Grade. Because of the high truck volumes (10%at last count), operations along the
corridor have suffered,owing to slower truck speeds and significant start-up/lost-time at
signalized intersections.
To mitigate issues along the corridor,the City has identified several measures detailed in the
RFP to be constructed in the future. In addition,the City sponsored a project to interconnect
and coordinate all 10 signalized intersections along the corridor(currently maintained by
Caltrans). Because restriction or prohibition of non-local truck traffic is not feasible without
justifiable safety reasons,the City has explored making the existing, part-time weigh
station west of the City a permanent facility.This project will explore the operational effects
of implementing those improvements identified in the REP, including the existing signal
coordination and permanent truck scale.

Project Approach
Through this project,the City's goal is to evaluate the existing corridor traffic signal timing
and operations, signage/striping and turn restrictions, and other factors that would help
improve the traffic flow within the study area.We have identified preliminary project
constraints within the corridor in Exhibit 1.
Our approach is to work closely with the City to evaluate the current and future traffic
signal operations along the study corridor based upon observations,data collection,and
traffic modeling software. Our preliminary assessment of the opportunities for the project
corridor are illustrated in Exhibit 2.We will incorporate the various approved and pending
improvements identified below:
• Raised medians • Pedestrian bridges (i.e.eliminating ped
• Signal synchronization and timing phases at signals)
• Protected-Permissive left turn phasing • Signal spacing
• Additional travel lanes • Parallel/bypass routes
• Additional and/or longer turn lanes • Truck scales
• Larger curb return radii
Following the evaluations,we will provide recommendations and guidelines for corridor
improvements and optimization of signal operations (including signal equipment
Field System Review enhancements) to achieve better traffic flow within the study area.We will also provide
and Observations
alternative solutions while maintaining all of the functionality the City desires of its traffic
System Inventory signal and communication system. Our approach is illustrated in the flowchart below.

`J i
�''�r,,iefl`� We recently completed the Foothill Boulevard and Angeles Crest Highway Corridors
Study—a project that had major traffic operational issues.Along these corridors, two
new traffic signals were constructed within close proximity,which resulted in challenges
• .I due to Caltrans restrictions for the new street alignment,topography, and existing street
..*iti,ti..+ 4`> ' configuration.As a result,there were:
• Numerous stops along Foothill Boulevard; • Wasted green time at offset intersections
• Long delays on minor street approaches; for clearance;
• Queuing in the left-turn pockets and • Inefficient signal operations;
through intersections and driveways; • Inadequate coordination between signals;
• Improper turning movements between • Long coordination cycles,and many
traffic signals; other issues.

An important aspect of signal operation studies is the field observation of existing traffic
conditions to better understand issues such as queuing problems, side-street delays,early or
late release times, pedestrian demands,and phase operation.The project team will conduct
at least five runs along the corridor in each direction for each of the three weekday periods
(a.m., midday,and p.m.), and at least five runs will be completed in each direction during
the Saturday midday peak.The study will identify Measures of Effectiveness(MOE) such
as traffic flow,travel time, queuing at left turns and side streets, average speed, number of
stops per mile,and number of intersections traversed on green vs.stopped by red.

Task 4: Existing Conditions Model Development
We will develop an existing conditions model by entering the signal timing data(obtained
from the City staff or Caltrans)and field review data into traffic analysis software.We will
utilize Synchro/SimTraffic 9.0 software for signal timing analysis and queuing, storage lane
blocking and other queuing interactions.We will calibrate the models by verifying the input
data and adjusting the model parameters so that the model output reasonably matches the
observed conditions in the network.The model input and output parameters will undergo a
detailed QA/QC check prior to utilization.
Because the City is interested in how the corridor will operate in the future,the model will
represent 2035 traffic volumes developed by Kimley-Horn in conjunction with the City.We
understand the City will provide existing and general plan buildout model data,with which
we will interpolate the 2035 volumes.
'-', 1.41 . ?-41The model will also incorporate those improvements

Task 5: Preliminary Evaluation Report
We will prepare a report to document existing conditions as per the review of traffic
signal timing,operations, and field review.We will include recommendations for signal
system improvements, intersection re-configurations/geometric recommendations,field
infrastructure upgrades,changes to existing signal timing and traffic signal equipment
upgrades at the locations that are found to be deficient,damaged,or non-functional.
Task 6: Evaluation and Recommendations Report
For a corridor to operate optimally,the traffic signal systems rely heavily on vehicle detection,
implemented timing,communication technologies to transmit information between controllers,
devices and computers.We will identify deficiencies by evaluating how well the current
systems are operating and document our findings in the form of an evaluation report.The
report will also include a comprehensive list of recommended improvements to the
existing traffic signal system and associated preliminary(high level)construction
cost estimates.Recommendations will include modified coordination signal timing plans for
peak periods,changes to existing geometric features(e.g. medians,curb returns),potential
intersection re-configuration recommendations, installation of detection or surveillance
equipment, or upgrading controllers and communications devices at the study intersections.
Special Signal Timing Techniques
In addition to some of the opportunities we have identified in Exhibit 2-Opportunities,we
will evaluate each intersection for a range of features that can be employed to address some
aspect of maximizing throughput or managing queues throughout the corridor.We have
successfully implemented the following techniques to alleviate short'bursts' of congestion
and also relieve longer periods of congestion levels:
• Phase Re-service:With the general recommendation to serve congested movements
(particularly left turns) more often in the cycle,or alternatively to serve movements that
are too lightly traveled to deserve their minimum greens on alternate cycles.
• Left turns with opposing pedestrian phasing:To allow for maximum throughput of
pedestrians without interference with coordination, particularly in the areas with high
pedestrian activity.
City of Moorpark I TRTS81006.16 10 i rn l e ,>>H o r n 7 9
ti .
Proposal for
LOS ANGELES AVENUE `
TRAFFIC STUDY "
• Use special logic,such as terminating the side street if remaining cars are making
right turns that can be served during complementary left turn, and/or lead-lag phase
optimization for servicing heavy left turns.
• Concurrent left turn and through phase(such as phases 2 and 5) as the coordinated
phases,especially in the vicinity of or at freeway on/off ramps,where the directional peak
is very evident.
• Simultaneous Gaps: Don't let phase extend again if detection is received during
green rest.
• Dual entry,so that late-arriving cars on the opposing minor approach won't cause a
delayed start of green.
• Volume-density variable gap to prevent actuated short greens,such as those that might
be caused by a truck accelerating from stop too slowly.
• Minimize pedestrian effects:
o Let pedestrian override force-offs, or
o Use additional max in lieu of force-offs by programming max time for the normal
coordinated green time and accommodating pedestrian times within the coordination
timings.With max not inhibited,the green will be routinely short because the phase will
max out,except when a pedestrian call is being served, in which case the pedestrian
intervals will override the max,all within the context of the coordinated plan.
Task 7: After Travel Time Studies
After the implementation and fine-tuning of the new signal timing,we will conduct after
travel time studies for the same routes as defined in Before Travel Time Study task. Kimley-
Horn will conduct between three(3) and five (5)travel time runs in each direction along each
route during the AM, midday, PM,and weekend peak periods to quantify the Measures of
Effectiveness(MOEs).The field measured "after"study data will be compared to the"before"
study to measure the improvement in system performance including travel times, average
delay,and number of stops.
Task 8: Meetings and Presentations
We understand how important it is to help the policy makers understand the improvements
and changes that result from a set of recommendations. Our team recognizes that
presentations to decision-making bodies and the general public need to be a well-
coordinated effort with City staff and should be simple yet effective and augmented by
easy to understand notes,graphics, and simulations. In addition to the kickoff meeting,we
will attend two meetings with City Staff and other stakeholders to discuss the Preliminary
Evaluation Report and the Final Evaluations and Recommendations Report to field comments
and receive buyoff.

Optional Scope of Services
The RFP requested additional, optional scope items.These items include:
• Data Collection
o AM and PM Intersection turning movement counts at 12 intersections—10 existing
and 2 proposed signalized intersections, not including the westernmost signal
proposed under IPD Permit No. 2009-01
o Average Daily(24- Hour)Traffic Counts with Classification -various locations to
collect truck traffic percentages.We would suggest at least four locations:
+ Western City Limits
+ West of Moorpark Ave
+ West of Spring Road
+ West of SR 23 Southbound Ramp
• Origin-Destination Study(0/D Study)
The Kimley-Horn team and National Data Services would provide the services shown above.
With regard to the O/D Study,the Ventura County Transportation Commission drafted a study
in 2000 to measure traffic in Moorpark generated by the Port of Hueneme.The RFP requests
origins/destinations in addition to the port, if feasible. Because 0/0 data is predominantly
derived from physical surveys taken by truck drivers,the process quickly becomes time-
intensive and cost-prohibitive.
Because we believe the ultimate goal of the City is to understand what truck traffic is local
and what is external to the City,we propose conducting a cordon count using video to
document vehicles entering the City and whether they exit the City at strategic locations.
Preliminarily,we would include Los Angeles Avenue at the western city limit,Tierra Rejada
Road at State Route 23,Walnut Canyon Road at the northern city limit,and L.A.Avenue
at the State Route 23/State Route 118 ramps.The video at each entry/exit point would be
cross-referenced against each other to determine local versus non-local traffic. For example,
a truck entering the City at L.A.Avenue at the western city limits and seen leaving at the
State Route 118 ramps would be considered non-local; a truck seen entering and leaving
the same entry/exit point would be considered local.
