IKZW9VX13rAL113 4CaZJNT3C DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS COMM The needs assessment will include an evaluation of existing conditions, as well as anticipated future conditions. Fehr and Peers will develop estimates of horizon year traffic volumes (year 2037) based on the regional Visum model and growth rate assumptions that relate to the County's estimate of land use growth. As a part of this task, it is assumed that Fehr and Peers will spend up to 40 hours evaluating future modeling scenarios, such as new roadway alternatives andlor identified transportation corridors. Deliverables: Memo documenting existing conditions for the above modes, as well as anticipated future conditions (tiers from the workshop in Task 02). Jacobs will review and provide comments in track changes to Fehr and Peers and, Ce: the Kittitas County Project Manager. ■ Delivery of final travel model Task 04 - Policy 1ggment• The purpose of this task is to update, refine, and condense the County's existing set of transportation policies. The resulting set of policies will be concise, user friendly, and will guide the development of the Transportation Chapter. As a part of this task, Fehr and Peers will hold a workshop with County staff in March and lead a Workgroup Session in early April (hours shown under task 2). It is anticipated that no more than six goals will be applied to potential project rankings within the list of preferred project alternatives, As part of the policy review, Fehr and Peers will review and recommend updates to the County's current Level of Service (LOS) policies. As described in Task 2, Fehr and Peers will conduct a workshop to explore alternative LOS approaches, including several factors: geographic location, time period, and mode. The selection of an LOS standard and methodology will guide the transportation improvements to he included in the 20 year project list. Deliverables: ■ Updated set of goal and policies (tiers from the workshop in Task 02) ■ Jacobs will review and provide comments in track changes to Fehr and Peers and Cc: the Kittitas County Project Manager. Task 05 - Develgg the Proiect List: Based on the results from the above tasks, Fehr and Peers will recommend transportation capital improvements_ These improvements will address needs identified for all modes (as described in Task 3) and follow the goals and policies established in Task 4. The project list will leverage previously published costs or County staff provided costs. For key projects where new planning -level cost estimates are needed, Fehr and Peers will leak to Kittitas County staff for estimates of project costs. Deliverables: 20 year project list with cost estimates leveraged from other sources (tiers from the workshop in Task 02). Page 3 R�Wi7I76i0i1140PRCOAl�17n SOlNW3X76'DRI�GM1� LepMm�n�SOW�17 0347V7.da0,
