2025 Model Update and Consistency Findings
ADDENDUM BACKGROUND
The City of Fort Collins is currently performing an environmental assessment (EA) of
the Mason Street Corridor as part of an ongoing planning process for funding and
building a transit system in the corridor. FTA has requested that the baseline system
for continued New Starts funding be enriched to provide a similar level of service (in
terms of frequency of service) to the build alternative. While this work is being
performed by the City and their selected consultant team, some modifications to the
modeling process are required to summarize the data now required by FTA for ranking
proposed transportation systems for new starts funding. In addition, due to time
constraints, certain transit summaries and post -processing of the modified systems are
required in a short time frame. Finally, although it might be necessary to modify either
the build or baseline transit network to maximize the efficiency of the system, those
tasks are not included here. Parsons provides expertise necessary to perform these
tasks in a timely manner.

City of Fort Collins Proposed Addendum to
2025 Model Update and Consistency Findings
PHASE 1
Task 1: Summarize / Post -Process Modified Baseline and Build Alternative
Model Runs
Objective: The objective of this task is to summarize and post -process the results of the
revised baseline and, if necessary, the build alternative runs to produce information
necessary for submittals to the FTA.
Discussion: The City of Fort Collins is currently rerunning the baseline alternative for
the Mason Street Corridor EA to implement changes requested by the FTA. In addition,
due to changes in the Fort Collins travel model, it might be necessary to rerun the
currently specified build alternative using the current versions of TransCAD and the Fort
Collins travel model for consistency between the baseline and build alternatives.
Parsons will perform post -processing and summaries of the transit ridership forecasts to
produce the information required for submittal to the FTA.
Products: A memorandum summarizing the transit ridership forecasts will be produced.
Task 2: Document Transit Post -Processing / Summarization Procedures
Objective: The objective of this task is to document the procedures used for transit
post -processing and summaries so that they can be applied in a consistent manner for
future analyses.
Discussion: Task 1 will focus on summarizing the transit ridership results for the current
submittal to FTA. The documentation prepared in Task 2 should allow others to
perform summaries in a consistent manner for future submittals. Task 2 may use
information from Task 1 for illustrative purposes.
Products: This task will produce a stand-alone document or chapter that can be added
to the Fort Collins travel model documentation.
Task 3: Modify GISDK Script to Summarize Information Necessary for the
Summit Spreadsheet Distributed by FTA
Objective: The objective of this task is to modify the GISDK scripts necessary to
implement the Fort Collins travel model to produce the data necessary to implement the
FTA's Summit spreadsheet.

City of Fort Collins Proposed Addendum to
2025 Model Update and Consistency Findings
Discussion: FTA has modified the criteria used for evaluating and ranking new starts
submittals. The new procedures are implemented using special spreadsheets provided
by FTA. The spreadsheets require data from the mode choice model used for the
region as input; however, the spreadsheet requires that the data be input in a specific
format. The GISDK script used to implement the Fort Collins travel model will be
modified to produce the required information for the Summit spreadsheets.
It is anticipated that the implementation procedures will consist of a simple check box or
button within the Fort Collins graphic user interface (GUI). FTA provides the
documentation for the Summit spreadsheets. Thus, it is anticipated that minimal or no
documentation will be required for this added option.
Products: Modified GISDK script will be produced.
BUDGET
The proposed project amendment budget is shown below. The budget shown is in
addition to the $25,134 budget for the original contract.
