Maloney Heights Traffic Impact Analysis
Consultant Agreement with TENW
Exhibit A
The following is excerpted from Chapter 1 of the City's Urban Services Standards and
Guidelines, addressing requirements related to a Traffic Impact Analysis:
1E.030 QUALIFICATIONS FOR PREPARATION OF DOCUMENTS
Traffic Impact Analysis shall be conducted under the direction of a responsible individual or firm acceptable
to the Department of Community and Economic Development Director and City Engineer. The analysis
shall be prepared by an engineer licensed to practice in the State of Washington with special training and
experience in traffic engineering.
1 E.040 SCOPE OF WORK
The level of detail and the scope of work of a Traffic Impact Analysis may vary with the size, complexity,
and location of the "new development The analysis shall be a thorough review of the immediate and long
range effects of the "new development" on the transportation system.
A. New Development Description
1. Provide a reduced copy of the site plan showing the type of development, street system, right -of-
way limits, access points, and other features of significance in the "new development" Also
include pertinent off -site information such as intersections, driveways, land -use descriptions and
other significant features with respect to the development.
2. Provide a "vicinity map" of the project area showing the transportation system to be impacted by
the development.
3. Discuss specific development characteristics such as type of development proposed (single
family, multi family, retail, industrial), internal street network, proposed access locations, parking
requirements, zoning, and other pertinent factors. The traffic engineer shall assume that there
is no physical barrier in either the Serenity House Emergency Access Lane or the Habitat
for Humanity fire lane on the south end of the parking area for Lots 6 -9 that would prevent
vehicular movement from proposed Lot 15 (28 multi family structure) or the existing Single
Adult Shelter towards West 16th Street or vehicular movement from Lots 1 -14 (single
family units) towards West 18th Street.
4. Discuss project completion and occupancy schedule.
B. Existing Conditions
1. Discuss street characteristics including functional class, number of traveled lanes, lane width,
shoulder treatment, bicycle paths, and intersection traffic control.
2. Identify safety and access problems including discussions on accident history, sight distance
restrictions, traffic control, and pedestrian conflicts.
3. Obtain all available traffic data from the City and other jurisdictions as applicable. If data is not
available, then data shall be collected by the firm to supplement the discussions and analysis.
4. Conduct manual peak hour turning movement counts at study intersection, if traffic volume data is
more than 3 years old, unless otherwise directed by the City.
5. A figure shall be prepared showing existing average daily traffic and peak hour traffic volumes on
the adjacent streets and intersections in the study area Complete turning movement volumes
shall be illustrated
C Development Traffic
1 Element of the analysis shall be conducted initially to identify the limits of the study area. The
study area shall include all pertinent intersections and streets impacted by the development
traffic.
2 Individual or firm preparing the analysis shall submit a figure illustrating the proposed "trip
distribution" for the new development to the City Engineer. Once the figure is approved, a formal
scoping" of the study area and the study contents can be conducted to clearly identify the
elements of the study.
3. Methodology and procedures used in preparing the trip generation and trip distribution elements
of the analysis are as follows:
a. Trip Generation Site generated traffic of the "new developments" shall be estimated using
the latest edition of the ITE TRIP GENERATION MANUAL. Variations of trip rates will require
the approval of the City Engineer. Average trip rates shall be used for all land -use categories
where applicable. Trip rate equations will be allowed for those land -uses without average
rates.
D. Future Traffic
Site traffic shall be generated for daily and A.M. and P.M. peak hour periods. Adjustments
made for "passer -by" and "mixed -use" traffic volumes shall follow the methodology outlined in
the latest edition of the ITE TRIP GENERATION MANUAL. A "passer -by" traffic volume
discount for commercial centers shall not exceed 25% unless approved otherwise by the City
Engineer
For multi -use and /or "phased" projects, trip generation tables shall be prepared showing
proposed land -use, trip rates, and vehicle trips for daily and peak hour periods and
appropriate traffic volume discounts, if applicable.
b. Trip Distribution The trip distribution for a "new development" shall be approved by the City
Engineer and prior to the formal scoping of the analysis. The methodology shall be clearly
defined and discussed in detail in the analysis.
The analysis shall identify other transportation modes that may be applicable, such as transit,
bicycle, and pedestrian use. New developments are encouraged to implement Transportation
Demand Management practices such as "Flex Time" for employees and ride sharing
programs including carpools, van pools, shuttle buses etc.
1. Future Traffic Conditions not including Site Traffic. Future traffic volumes shall be estimated
using information from transportation models or applying an annual growth rate to the base -line
traffic volumes. The future traffic volumes shall be representative of the time of full build out
based upon current zoning. The City Engineer with the Community and Economic Development
Department will determine an appropriate growth rate, if that option is utilized.
In addition, proposed "on -line" development projects shall be taken into consideration when
forecasting future traffic volumes. The increase in traffic from proposed "on -line" projects shall be
compared to the increase in traffic by applying an annual growth rate.
If modeling information is not available, the greatest traffic increase from either the "on- line"
developments or the application of an annual growth rate shall be used to forecast the future
traffic volumes.
2. Future Traffic Conditions Including Site Traffic. The site generated traffic shall be assigned to the
street network in the study area based on the approved trip distribution model. The site traffic
shall be combined with the forecasted traffic volumes to show the total traffic conditions estimated
at development completion A figure will be required showing daily and peak period turning
movement volumes for each traffic study intersection.
E. Traffic Operations
1. The level of service (LOS) and capacity analysis shall be conducted for each pertinent
intersection in the study area as determined by the DCED and City Engineer. The methodology
and procedures for conducting the capacity analysis shall follow the guidelines specified in the
Highway Capacity Manual Special Report 209, 1985 Edition. The individual or firm preparing the
analysis shall calculate the intersection LOS for each of the following conditions:
a Existing peak hour traffic volumes
b. Existing peak hour traffic volumes including site- generated traffic
c. Future traffic volumes not including site traffic
d. Future traffic volumes including site traffic
e. Level of Service results for each traffic volume scenario.
2. The Level of Service Table shall include the LOS results for A.M. and P.M. peak periods, if
applicable. The table shall show LOS conditions with corresponding vehicle delays for signalized
intersections and LOS conditions for the critical movements at unsignalized intersections. For
signalized intersections, the LOS conditions and average vehicle delay shall be provided for each
approach and the intersection as a whole.
3. The capacity analysis for existing signalized intersections shall include existing phasing, timing,
splits and cycle lengths in the analysis as observed and measured during the peak hour traffic
periods. All traffic signal system operational data may be obtained from the Public Works and
Utilities Department
4. If the "new development" is scheduled to be completed in phases, the analysis shall conduct a
LOS analysis for each separate phase of the development. The incremental increases in site
traffic from each phase shall be included in the LOS analysis
5. If the "new development" impacts a traffic signal coordination system currently in operation, the
Public Works and Utilities Department may require the analysis to include operational analysis of
the system. Timing plans and proposed modifications to the coordination system may be
required.
6. The Public Works and Utilities Department may require that the analysis be conducted on
computer software compatible with City software.
F. Mitigation
1. The analysis shall include a proposed mitigation plan. The mitigation may be either the
construction of necessary transportation improvements or contributions to any established
transportation impact fund.
2. Mitigating measures shall be required to the extent that the transportation facilities operate at a
Level of Service "D" condition or better upon completion of the development
3. The following guidelines shall be used to determine appropriate mitigation measures of traffic
impacts generated by the new development.
a. On transportation facilities where the need to construct improvements, by the horizon year of
the "new development the cost for the mitigation will be entirely born by the "new
development However, in the event that the DCED and Public Works and Utilities
Departments identify more than one development under simultaneous review, accumulative
impacts and distribution of mitigation costs may be considered. A latecomers agreement
could be developed by the "new development" for reimbursement for mitigation costs.
b. On transportation facilities programmed for new improvements as part of a City project, the
adverse traffic impacts of the "new development" will be considered mitigated by providing a
proportionate share contribution of the costs for the proposed improvements, if said
improvements mitigate the traffic impacts caused by the "new" development. The
proportionate share of local costs for the improvements shall be based on the percentage of
"new development" traffic generated through the intersection or roadway section. The
percentage shall be based on the total projected peak hour traffic volumes for the horizon year
of the transportation facility.
c. If the transportation facility currently operates less than Level of Service (LOS) "D the "new
development" shall be required to make interim facility improvements to maintain the existing
Level of service operation on the facility. The cost of the interim improvements will be
deducted from the "new development's" proportionate share of costs from the programmed
facility improvements only if the cost of the interim improvements is less than the ultimate
proportionate share. If the interim improvements cannot be incorporated into the ultimate
improvements programmed for the facility, there will be no reimbursement for interim costs
incurred.
g.
end of section
d. On transportation facilities where the existing LOS condition is less than LOS "D and where
no improvements are programmed to improve capacity and traffic operations, the "new
development" shall mitigate the intersection to an acceptable LOS "D" condition or wait until
the improvements are implemented by the City or other developments. Improvements made
by the City prior to the development of the subject project shall be reimbursed by the "new
development" based on the proportionate fair share costs of the facility improvements.
e. Unsignalized intersections that currently operate less than a LOS "D" condition, shall be
analyzed for traffic signal and intersection improvements. If three or more traffic signal
warrants are satisfied, signal and intersection improvements will be required as a mitigating
measure for the "new development If at least 3 traffic signal warrants are not satisfied by the
"new development" horizon year, the analysis shall determine if traffic signal warrants and
intersection improvements would be needed within 5 years after the "new developments"
horizon year. The "new development" would be required to provide a proportionate share cost
towards future traffic signal and intersection improvements if warranted within the 5 year
period.
f. However, if traffic signal warrants are not satisfied after a 5 year period from the "new
developments" horizon year, mitigating impacts would not be required from the "new
development" for traffic signal improvements.
Signalized intersections where the projected Level of Service condition is at "D but where
one or more of the LOS conditions on the approaches falls below LOS "D mitigation
measures may be required to improve the capacity and traffic operations at the intersection.
The City reserves the right to review all adverse traffic impacts at these intersections and to
determine appropriate mitigation measures

A Proposal
FROM: Michael J. Read, P.E.
Transportation Engineering Northwest, LLC
RE: Maloney Heights Traffic Impact Analysis Scope of Work /Fee Proposal
Transportation Engineering Northwest (TENW) is pleased to present this scope of
work and fee proposal to provide transportation engineering services for the proposed
Maloney Heights project, a 42 unit mixed housing project in Port Angeles,
Washington. The project would include 14 single family homes proposed by Habitat
for Humanity and a 28 -unit apartment complex for homeless residents in the
community. Extension of 16t Street from its existing terminus east of the site to the
western property boundary is assumed as well as an internal roadway /driveway
network that allows through access between 16t Street and 18` Street via Serenity
House. Our work would be developed to meet traffic study requirements and
guidelines for the City of Port Angeles and standard traffic engineering practice.
Based upon TENW's previous work on similar projects throughout the Northwest
region, the following scope of work elements would likely be necessary to address
agency requirements. The following paragraphs outline a general scope of work and
fee estimate, and include two main tasks.
Task 1. Field Work /Traffic Counts Typical thresholds for review of off -site
intersections are triggered at 10 or more p.m. peak hour trips. As the combination of
both the higher p.m. peak hour trip generation of residential uses with adjacent street
traffic is considered the worst -case, we propose to review both site access intersections
and off -site intersections that meet or exceed this threshold. Based on a preliminary
analysis of trip generation /distribution, we propose to conduct the necessary field
work along adjacent streets and study intersections at the following locations to
evaluate traffic impacts:
Site access onto 16t Street
Site access onto 18t Street
N Street and 18` Street
N Street and 16t Street
L Street and 18t Street
Task 2. Traffic Impact Study This task includes preparation of the formal traffic
impact analysis. The following outlines the study's basic elements.

January 7, 2010
Page 2
Project Description /Identification
This section will describe the proposed project in detail to include project location,
program elements, proposed parking, proposed site access with an anticipated
construction date /year of opening.
Existing Conditions
This task includes a field review of site vicinity transportation conditions, a review of
existing planning documents, and historical data collection efforts completed by the
City of Port Angeles and WSDOT. In order to provide a basis for evaluating
transportation improvement recommendations and mitigation measures, we will
complete an inventory of the existing transportation system in the study area to
include: key transportation facilities and corridors, intersection channelization and
traffic control, weekday traffic volumes, collision history, and planned transportation
improvements.
Trip Generation, Distribution and Assignment
TENW will use the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 8
Edition, 2008, to estimate a.m. peak, p.m. peak and daily traffic volumes, which would
be generated by the proposed development. Trip distribution and assignment
assumptions will be documented to support our conclusions and findings.
Traffic Impact Analysis
Traffic impact issues to be analyzed include roadway and intersection traffic volume
impacts, site access and circulation issues, public transportation, and nonmotorized
transportation impacts.
Roadway and Intersection Traffic Volume Impacts
The report will discuss potential turning movement conflicts with other vehicular
traffic, evaluate intersection levels of service and operating characteristics, and identify
project impacts on nearby significant intersections and roadways. To address
cumulative impacts, a 0.5 percent per year background traffic growth rate will be
assumed to factor historical traffic counts.

Vehicular Site Access, Safety and Circulation Issues
TENW will review the site development and potential site access locations onto 16
Street and 18 Street. The study will discuss potential turning movement conflicts
with adjacent driveways /intersections, driveway spacing, fire /emergency vehicle
circulation, intersection sight distance, levels of service, vehicular queues, review
warrants for traffic control treatments (left -or right -turn lanes, restricted right -turn
ingress /egress, etc.), and any other potential transportation improvements which may
be required.
Mitigation and Traffic Impact Fees
We will identify appropriate mitigation efforts resulting from the traffic impact
analysis to make certain that project driveways and nearby roadways and critical
intersections operate in conformance with affected City Port Angeles level of service
standards. To mitigate impacts, TENW will estimate any proportional share
contributions and impact fees to be paid and /or project- specific transportation
improvements.
Schedule and Fee Estimate
A draft study that incorporates all existing conditions information along with the
analysis of traffic impacts associated with the proposed action would be completed
within approximately 2 weeks after notice to proceed is given. This schedule
anticipates a week delay in obtaining traffic counts until the second week of January to
avoid holiday seasonal traffic and ensure traffic patterns have stabilized with school
back in session.
Completion of Task 1 through 2 would be billed on a time and materials basis not to
exceed $3,000. This budget includes collection of the necessary traffic counts and field
work by one of our registered professional engineers. If you have any questions or
comments, please do not hesitate to contact me toll fee at (888) 220 7333 ext. 101.
