during the initial meeting after reviewing and finalizing the list of street segments for the study.
♦ Prior to commencement of work, AGA will submit samples of the radar speed survey field sheet,
the radar speed survey analysis sheet, the field review summary sheet and the summary of
recommendations chart for preapproval by the City.
♦ A minimum sample of 100 vehicles will be surveyed during off -peak hours, with a minimum of 50
vehicles for each direction of travel. The instruments used will be periodically inspected and
calibrated during the survey period.
♦ The radar speed surveys will be conducted only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, not on
holidays or days immediately before or after holidays, and in good weather conditions in non -
construction areas.
During the radar field survey, representative free flow speeds will be recorded.

V Project Approach
One objective of the proposed project is to review the existing speed limits and recommend changes to the
speed limits (increase or decrease), in accordance with the requirements of Section 627 of the California
Vehicle Code (CVC) and the recommended procedures outlined in Chapter 6, entitled "Spot Speeds," of
the Manual of Traffic Engineering Studies, 4th Edition, published by ITE. The study will provide sufficient
information to document that the conditions of the latest edition of CVC Section 627 have been satisfied
and that other conditions not readily apparent to a motorist are properly identified. To legally use radar for
speed enforcement, Section 22354, 40802(b) of the CVC requires that where limits are changed pursuant
to Section 22357, 22358, and/or 22358.3 of the CVC, the changes must be justified by an engineering and
traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation.
The product of the study will be a legal document that will be acted on by the City Council to formally adopt
and /or change specific speed limits at the surveyed locations. The report will be the document used by the
Police Department and the courts in the day -to -day legal defense activities of the established speed limit.
Our proposed approach for this project, over and above complying with the specific relevant requirements
of the CVC and of the California Manual and Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways
(adopted November, 2014), will be to:
♦ Meet with City staff and discuss the project completely, including any scheduling and other staff
concerns.
Conduct field radar surveys under free flow traffic conditions only.
♦ Evaluate speed limits by reviewing traffic count data and at least two years of accident history at
mid -block locations and intersections in conjunction with the speed survey data.
♦ Prepare the recommendations to maintain /increase /decrease the speed limits in the City.
Additionally, if certain residential streets are experiencing speeding problems, we will recommend
that the City investigate the potential utilization of various traffic calming measures to address the
situation.
The following nine tasks have been designed to provide an orderly and efficient completion of the work
needed to conduct the speed zone study. It should be noted that the Scope of Services outlined in the
City's RFP shall be considered as part of AGA's proposal.
Task 1- Kick -Off Meeting
AGA will conduct an initial kick -off meeting with City Planning /Engineering (and, if desired, Police
Department) staff at City Hall to discuss project parameters, schedule, methodologies, lines of
communication. etc.
A detailed project schedule will be presented by AGA at this initial meeting. AGA will also provide proof of
radar speed meter certification at this meeting.

Task 2 — Radar Speed Data Collection
After finalizing the list of segments to be surveyed, and discussing the schedule for conducting the surveys
and addressing any staff concerns at the initial meeting with City staff, the first task will be to conduct the
field radar speed surveys at the 23 recommended road segments per discussion with City staff.
A minimum of 100 bidirectional speed observations, with a minimum of 50 observations for each direction
of travel, will be obtained for all of the designated street segments, a list of which will be finalized during the
initial meeting with the City staff. For low volume roadways, the survey will be conducted for a one -hour
period or when 50 speed samples have been recorded, whichever occurs first. The studies will be
conducted during "good weather' conditions and only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Each speed zone will be checked for representative free flow speeds, that is, speeds not influenced by
temporary conditions or construction work. The radar gun will be calibrated periodically to achieve and
maintain accuracy. Obtaining of a minimum 100 speed samples for each street segment will ensure that
there will be a 95% probability that the sample data represents the population data for this type of study.
Radar speed data will be collected by AGA staff who are certified to perform the surveys. Photocopies of
radar tally sheets for each radar speed survey location will be provided to the City
Task 3 — Speed Data Analysis
Utilizing the radar speed survey data for the 23 roadway segments, AGA will summarize the field data and
provide speed survey data sheets. It should be noted that our field data measurements, data sheets and
summaries will be modified as required to exactly match the current requirements of the City of Seal Beach.
AGA will also coordinate with neighboring cities regarding speed limits for highway segments abutting or
under joint control with the City of Seal Beach.
Task 4 — Roadway Segment Characteristics
This task will be performed by Mr. David Roseman, T.E., a registered Traffic Engineer in California. Mr.
Roseman will drive all of the street segments to determine, on the basis of experienced traffic engineering
judgment, whether or not there are any roadway characteristics not readily apparent to the motorist which
would justify the lowering of the proposed speed limit to the maximum reduction permitted under the State
established guidelines. Factors considered will include street width and alignment, traffic flow
characteristics, number of lanes and other channelization and striping patterns, frequency of driveways and
intersections, reversed superelevations, visibility obstructions caused by vertical or horizontal curves,
roadside land use, block walls, multiple driveways, grade, heavy pedestrian, bicycle or truck traffic, heavy
on- street parking maneuvers, and any other roadside conditions that are not apparent to the motorist.
The product of this review will be a summary of each of the study segments and identification of the study
segments which justify consideration for maximum increase /decrease in the recommended speed limits.

., ProjectApproach
Task 5 —Accident History Review and Accident Rate Calculations
After consultation and agreement with City staff as to the most appropriate methodology for the analysis of
accident records, Mr. Ruben Perales of AGA will review the mid -block accident history of each of the street
segments to be included in the survey. The appropriate accident rate for each study link will be calculated
based on updated volume data collected as part of this project. The calculated accident rate will be
compared with the expected accident rate for the various types of roadways as published by Caltrans.
Mr. Perales has extensive experience in City traffic operations and is therefore well qualified to review
these accident records. It is proposed that a two year time period be utilized for the accident review.
Task 6 — Compilation of Speed Zone Survey "Summary of Recommendations" Chart
In the preparation of these summaries, all of the conclusions reached during the accident review and
highway segment characteristics field review conducted under Tasks 4 and 5 will be taken into account,
Tasks 4 and 5 will constitute the basis for changing the speed limit from the first five mile per hour
increment nearest the 851h percentile speed.
The product of this task will be the summary tables showing the posted speed, 15th percentile speed, 50th
(median) percentile speed, 85th percentile speed, 10 mph pace speed (with number and percentage of
vehicles within the pace), range of all speeds surveyed, and recommended speed limit on all surveyed
street segments. The tables will be discussed with City staff prior to the preparation of the final report, and
will include all data requested by the City.
Task 7 — Preparation of Draft Report
Two copies of the Draft Report will be prepared and submitted to the City for their review. At a minimum,
the Draft Report will include the following items:
♦ Certification statement(s) for the radar gun(s) utilized in the survey.
♦ Radar speed survey operational procedures.
Description of the purpose and methodology of Speed Zone establishment, including a discussion
of realistic speed zoning, speed traps, CVC requirements, etc.
♦ Description of the statistical analysis factors.
♦ Description of the field data used in analyzing the related roadway characteristics.
♦ A Summary of Findings Table including location, posted speed limit, critical speed, recommended
speed limit, average daily traffic (ADT), accidents per million vehicle miles (MAVM), and any
comments.
♦ Accident history for the street segments, including a table showing locations with unusually high
collision rates that may warrant speed limit reduction.
♦ Results and recommendations.
♦ Summary of recommendations in narrative and table form per desired City format.

Task 8 — Preparation of Final Report
After review of the Draft Report by the City, AGA will incorporate City comments, finalize the report and
provide five certified bound copies, one unbound copy of the Final Report, including the actual speed
survey data sheets and an electronic file copy of the report (in Microsoft Word and Excel), to the City. All
deliverables listed in the City's RFP and previously identified in various tasks will be provided.
Task 9 — Presentation
AGA will make one presentation to the City Council, and be available to answer questions before and
during this meeting regarding the results of the Citywide Speed Zone Survey. Mr. Roseman will make the
presentation and answer any questions that Council members may have. Mr. Roseman has made similar
presentations to many Traffic and Planning Commissions and City Councils regarding not only speed
survey issues, but also a wide range of various neighborhood traffic issues. As the previous City Traffic
Engineer for the City of Long Beach for thirteen years, Mr. Roseman has made many such presentations.
VI Project Schedule
The project schedule, as shown in Figure 2, has been prepared considering all the requirements for the
study in estimating the time required to complete the project. It is assumed that project kick -off will occur in
September 2015. AGA has adequate staff resources to provide Final Reports to the City of Seal Beach
within 40 working days. The principal contact for this project for AGA will be David Roseman, T.E., Project
Manager. Mr. Roseman will coordinate with the City prior to data collection to ensure that no planned
construction work or other events will potentially impact the scheduled data collection.
