<br />turning movement counts at up to 25 intersections along the corridors which will be <br />analyzed in accordance with Section 1.5.3. The Consultant will make an effort to utilize <br />SWTSU students or senior citizens/retired persons in the traffic count data collection <br />process. <br /> <br />1.4.3 - SWTSU Special Generator Survey. The Consultant will survey university students, <br />faculty, and employees on a typical weekday to determine important trip generation <br />information for this special generator. The Consultant will administer this survey on- <br />campus in heavily traveled areas. Consultant plans to administer this survey utilizing 10 <br />surveyors during a three hour morning time period and a three hour afternoon time period <br />(60 total hours), but could be administered during a longer time period by fewer surveyors <br />if desired by the City. The survey will identify general origin/destination patterns of <br />students, student/faculty concerns regarding transportation and parking issues, and <br />perceptions of students regarding existing transportation conditions. The Consultant will <br />make an effort to utilize SWTSU students or senior citizens/retired persons during the data <br />collection process. In addition, the Consultant will attempt to obtain existing data from <br />SWTSU regarding the origins of students, faculty, and staff (such as zip code data) to <br />identify travel patterns. <br /> <br />1.4.4 - Existinq Conditions Evaluation. Evaluate existing transportation conditions along major <br />roadways in the study area to determine existing roadway Level-of-Service ("LOS"). The <br />Consultant's evaluation of existing conditions will provide a baseline of current traffic operations <br />to use during the comparison and evaluation of alternative improvements. The LOS procedure <br />will use volume-to-capacity ratio to calculate roadway LOS. For intersections under evaluation <br />in the Corridor Analysis (Section 1.5.3), the Consultant will define the LOS using average <br />intersection control delay. <br /> <br />1.4.5 - Deliverables (electronic format). Submit a technical memorandum of the data <br />collection and existing conditions in pdf format, including traffic counts and results of the <br />SWTSU survey. The Consultant will deliver all data in electronic data files, geocoded as <br />necessary to Traffic Analysis Zones ("T AZs"), and in a GIS compatible format. <br /> <br />1.5 TASK 4 - TRAVEL DEMAND MODEL DEVELOPMENT, CALIBRATION AND <br />CORRIDOR ANALYSIS <br /> <br />The Consultant will: <br /> <br />1.5.1 - Super Reqional Model. Utilize a Super-Regional Model to analyze regional travel <br />patterns in an eight county area around San Marcos. The Consultant will account for flows <br />through San Marcos on IH 35 using this model. The Consultant will take into consideration <br />connections to future SH 130, which may also have an impact on traffic through San <br />Marcos and on the future Loop (FM110). The super-regional model for San Marcos will <br />be a refinement of a model that was developed for TxDOT-TTA. This model was <br />developed for the analysis of SH 130, and currently has over 2,500 T AZs, which can be <br />significantly reduced in Austin and San Antonio for the needs of San Marcos, while <br />5 <br /> <br />TRANSPORTATION MASTERPLAN K <br />
