1) Data Collection. 2) 3) a) Observe existing traffic operations at the study area intersections to note operational problems, traffic patterns, parking, etc. b) Obtain AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts at the following intersections to determine existing background traffic: i) Loop 82 and Laurel Street; and ii) Loop 82 and Post Road/Bobcat Road. c) Obtain 24 -Hour directional tube counts at the following locations: i) Loop 82, westbound, east of Laurel Street; ii) Loop 82, eastbound, west of Laurel Street; iii) Laurel Street, southbound, north of Loop 82; iv) Old Post Road, southbound, north of Loop 82; v) Post Road, southbound, north of Loop 82; vi) Loop 82, westbound, east of Post Road; vii) Loop 82, eastbound, west of Post Road; and viii) Bobcat Road, northbound, south of Loop 82. d) Coordinate with San Marcos Police department to obtain crash data at the existing intersection of Loop 82 and Post Road/Bobcat Road. Analvsis. a) Coordinate with TxDOT to get an approved scope of study for the warrant analysis. b) Develop 24 -hour traffic volumes at the proposed intersection of Loop 82 and Laurel Street due to the re- alignment of Loop 82. c) Perform a signal warrant analysis at the proposed intersection of Loop 82 at Laurel Street and the existing intersection of Loop 82 at Post Road/Bobcat Road based on guidelines set forth in the 2006 Texas MUTCD. Traffic Signal Design Plans (Based on TxDOT's analysis that signal warrants have been met). This stage includes preparation of traffic signal design plans at the intersections of Loop 82 at Laurel Street and Loop 82 at Post Road, if traffic signal warrants are met and approved by TxDOT. a) Meet with TxDOT and the City as necessary to discuss signal design requirements. One (1) meeting has been assumed for budget purposes. b) Obtain electronic plans for the Project, including survey files, proposed roadway layouts, utilities, and proposed pavement marking layouts from the City. c) Coordinate with Texas One Call System and City/TxDOT to locate utilities in the field. d) Conduct a detailed field review of the intersection to note and verify existing traffic signal equipment, existing intersection geometrics, physical constraints, power connection, utility placement, and any other details necessary for signal plan preparation. e) Attend a meeting in the field with TxDOT and the City to locate and confirm locations of proposed controller and signal poles. For budget purposes, the City and Engineer anticipate that there will be one (1) meeting. HDR — Loop 82 Project Agreement 23
