Collins:r By: V /% Date: _ 7/1 North Front Range MPO Scope of Work — RTPAssistance SCOPE OF WORK — RTP ASSISTANCE The North Front Range MPO has determined that its staff will be responsible for preparing the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Update. However, the MPO has also determined that it will need some technical assistance in several of the work elements. Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU) has prepared the following scope of services to identify those elements in which FHU staff will provide assistance to the MPO staff. 1. GENERAL COACHING/MENTORING Scope: Because of his experience in having worked on a number of Regional Transportation Plans over the years, Bob Felsburg will serve as a coach or mentor to MPO staff on any plan -related subject matter, as requested by the staff. Although the specific scope of this task cannot be determined at this time, it is expected that Mr. Felsburg could be called upon to provide advice in a wide range of topics, including: • Overall structure of the planning process. • Organization of the public involvement program. • Interpretation of forthcoming guidelines or directions from CDOT throughout the planning process. • Strategy for proper presentation of plan information to the MPO Council or the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). • Review of technical information compiled or prepared by MPO staff, such as inventory data or travel demand modeling results. • Project submittal format. • Regional Transportation Plan outline. This support could involve attendance of "brainstorming" sessions, telephone calls, or possibly research and preparation of technical memoranda. FELSBURG HOLT & ULLEVIG Page 2 North Front Range MPO Scope o{Worh — RTP Assistance Level of Effort: The following estimate assumes 10 hours of Mr. Felsburg's time each month during the duration of the planning process (July — March). Principal II 90 Hours @ $150 = $13,500 Support 12 Hours @ $ 60 = $ 720 ODC (5%) = 710 Total Budget $14,930 Fiscal Year 2003: _ $ 4,975 Fiscal Year 2004: = 9,955 Total $14,930 2. CORRIDOR VISIONING Scope: A key focus of CDOT's interest in the RTP will be the definition of a "vision" for each corridor in the study area. Guidance for this effort is still being developed by CDOT, but it is clear that these corridors are intended to be multi -modal in character. The following scope is anticipated: • Ensure that the "regionally significant corridors" being identified by the MPO are being established in a manner compatible with that expected by CDOT. • Assist the MPO staff in developing a process to define the Vision of the corridor, Performance Objectives of how the corridor should work, Strategies to assist in achieving corridor objectives, and, finally, Projects in the corridor consistent with the strategies and objectives. • Work with the MPO staff and Council to complete this visioning process for each corridor. Level of Effort: Principal II 40 Hours @ $150 = $ 6,000 Senior Advisor 12 Hours @ $130 = $ 1,560 Engineer II 80 Hours @ $ 80 = $ 6,400 Graphics 20 Hours @ $ 65 = $ 1,300 Support 20 Hours @ $ 60 = $ 1,200 ODC (5%) = 820 Total Budget $17 280 Fiscal Year 2003: _ $ 5,000 Fiscal Year 2004: = 12 280 Total $17,280 FELSBURG HOLT & ULLEV]G Page 3 North Front Range MPO Scope of Worh — RTP Assistance 3. REVISIONS TO PROJECT PRIORITIZATION PROCESS Scope: Although the CDOT focus in the Statewide Plan will be on the corridor visions, the RTP will still need to identify and prioritize projects within the corridors. The existing Project Prioritization Process will be reviewed and modified as appropriate to account for a number of changing factors: • Changes in Project Categories as suggested by the MPO. • Potential changes in Project Categories to reflect Transportation Commission Investment Categories: - System Quality - Safety - Mobility • Possible changes in the Evaluation Criteria and the Scoring Guidelines to account for current philosophies of the Council. Another objective of this task will be to recommend a process whereby it will not be necessary to carry all projects through the extensive project prioritization process. A screening methodology will be developed in concert with MPO staff and the TAC. A final element of this task would be to develop a methodology for prioritizing projects across Project Categories, a specific request of CDOT for this RTP. This has not been done in the past, although we have previously identified a number of alternative approaches to achieve this goal. Those alternatives will be revisited, additional approaches may be developed, all alternatives will be discussed with the TAC, and a recommendation will be made. The end product of this task would be a revised Project Prioritization Process guidebook.

RESOURCE ALLOCATION Scope: CDOT is presently in the process of establishing estimates of the revenues which may be available to each MPO/TPR in the future. CDOT is also developing investment strategies which will provide guidance to the MPOs/TPRs in how those funds can be allocated to projects within the Regional Transportation Plans. FHU will assist the MPO in coordinating with CDOT regarding this information and this process. We will then work with the Council to understand the implications of the CDOT estimates and guidelines and to refine the methodology through which the information will be applied to determine resource allocation in the RTP. With this methodology established, FHU will then assist the Council in applying it in order to develop the Financially Constrained Plan for the North Front Range. Level of Effort: Principal II 20 Hours @ $150 Engineer II 20 Hours @ $ 80 Support 10 Hours @ $ 60 CDC (5%) Total Budget 5. CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PLAN Scope: _ $ 3,000 _ $ 1,600 _ $ 600 = 260 $ 5,460 (Fiscal Year 2004) FHU will assist the MPO staff in the development of a Congestion Management Plan as part of the RTP. This effort will begin with a literature search and a review of other Congestion Management Plans in Colorado in order to summarize the "best practices" currently being used in such plans. After a review of these findings with the MPO staff and the TAC, a proposed outline of the Congestion Management Plan will be drafted. Upon concurrence with the outline, FHU will work with MPO staff to compile the information necessary to "flesh out' and complete the plan. This will then be presented to the Council for acceptance.
