II. TEAM

• Team - Can you provide examples of team experience in: safety engineering, active transportation?

SAFETY ENGINEERING: Our proposed team brings has extensive experience in safety planning, analysis, and safety engineering. This team has worked on small- and large-scale projects for ADOT and other agencies in finding solutions to improve public safety for all road users. Here are examples of the types of projects this team brings significant experience in:

• Safety evaluations and studies

• Historical/predictive-safety crash analysis

• Road Safety Assessments (RSA)

• Roadway feasibility studies

• Roadside safety studies

• Small Area Transportation Studies (SATS)

• Safe Routes to School (SRTS) and bike/ped safety studies

• ADA, bike/ped facilities assessment/analysis

• Lane departure and run-off-road crash safety studies

• Local Area Safety Studies (LASS)

• Bottleneck safety studies, ADOT

• Safety Engineering & Design (ADOT HSIP)

Our team is recognized for our exceptional work in the areas of safety analysis, evaluation of countermeasures, and improving safety through design. Three team members are certified Road Safety Professionals (Level 1) with experience analyzing crash data, identifying crash contributing factors, and developing short- and long-term countermeasures. We utilize crash data to develop ‘hot-spot’ maps using GIS to pinpoint areas of high crash frequency. These crash ‘hot-spot’ maps were used in three recent ADOT/LPA rural highway projects where the primary goal was to mitigate run-off-road crashes. Design solutions we develop include: 1) advanced signing to warn drivers of curves and their severity; 2) rumble-strips to alert drivers of impending roadway departure; 3) shoulder treatments to improve the chance of recovering control of the vehicle if it does leave the road; and 4) clear zones and crash barriers to reduce the severity of the outcome if a vehicle does leave the road. Jacobs is also advancing the state-of-practice in pedestrian safety through the analysis of near-misses using Drone footage at urban intersections.

Our team has experience in advancing the short- and long-term safety countermeasures developed from various types of safety studies into final design solutions that are implemented in the field. Some of the examples of the team in the area of safety engineering include:

1. ADOT, Safe Routes to School Improvements (SRTS) Improvements PA and Final Design, Gilbert, AZ

We developed a Project Assessment (PA), ADA Evaluation Report, and the Final Design (PS&E) package for three pedestrian crossings to improve safety for schools in Gilbert, AZ. This included the design of two pedestrian hybrid beacons (HAWKs) and a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) in addition to ADA and sidewalk improvements.

DISCIPLINE 5. INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

I. PROJECT MANAGER

Project Manager- Can you provide an example of the PM’s experience if any in TSMO Planning and in ITS Architecture Development?

ANIL MUDIGONDA, PE, PTOE, RSP1: Anil Mudigonda brings more than 18 years of multi-state professional experience as a project manager/task lead in a range of traffic and transportation engineering projects.

Anil is a hands-on project manager that has broad range of technical experience in planning, development and management of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), traffic signals, connected/automated (CV/AV) technology implementation, transportation planning, wayfinding signage, signing & striping, traffic corridor and safety studies. Anil has successfully managed and led several multi-discipline projects for ADOT and several local agencies.

Below is a recent project example of Anil’s experience in the area of TSMO Planning and ITS Architecture Development:

• MAG, Northern Parkway ITS Infrastructure Needs Assessment Study, Peoria/Glendale, AZ The Northern Parkway project corridor extends 9 miles from State Route 303 Loop to State Route 101 Loop and lies within the jurisdictions of: City of Glendale, City of Peoria, City of El Mirage, ADOT and Maricopa County. The study developed a high-level framework of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructure equipment and related recommendations for the Northern Parkway corridor. As part of the study, Jacobs conducted the kick-off meeting and the stakeholder’s meeting with the Northern Parkway Program and an inventory of the existing ITS/Traffic signal infrastructure. Jacobs also identified the existing traffic concept of operations (ConOps) and conducted stakeholder interviews to determine the proposed corridor traffic management concept. A preliminary implementation plan for the proposed ITS infrastructure and a high-level opinion of costs for the project was developed. The proposed ITS infrastructure considered several emerging technologies such as traveler information including ARID detectors, connected and automated vehicles technologies, real-time traffic monitoring and adaptive signal control technologies.

We have carefully crafted our team to include experts in the area of TSMO Planning and ITS Architecture Development, as demonstrated by the following project example:

• Statewide Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO Master Plan and Program Support), Maryland State Highway Administration, Maryland Jacobs assisted the Coordinated Highway Action Response Team (CHART) in the development and implementation of the Transportation System Management & Operations (TSMO) Program, including the development and maintenance of the Statewide TSMO Master Plan. Jacobs assisted in TSMO Program development and implementation activities, including the development and maintenance of the State-wide TSMO Master Plan and Strategic Deployment Plan. The effort included coordinating agency-wide efforts related to TSMO

III. FIRM

Firm – Please provide examples of Firm experience in Broadband, and in fiber management, if any Jacobs has extensive experience in Broadband and Fiber management. We have a dedicated team of senior personnel with expertise in communications, fiber management, telecom, electrical and transportation systems management experience working on several “Middle Mile” projects throughout the country. Some examples are included below:

1. North FL Broadband Authority, Middle Mile Microwave Network Development, Tallahassee, FL Jacobs staff provided Program Management and Construction Management services to the North Florida Broadband Authority for the deployment of a $30 million middle mile microwave network that is being funded through a federal BTOP grant. The program is intended to support broadband connectivity in the rural areas of northern Florida. Working closely with the NFBA leadership team, including NFBA’s General Manager and Jacobs staff led all procurement activities associated with this assignment, from development of procurement documents through proposal evaluation, vendor selection, and contract negotiations. Specifically, we coordinated the successful procurement of (1) Fiber Access Points to provide backhaul to NFBA data centers, (2) Network Operator services, including network operations, monitoring, and trouble-ticket management, and (3) Field Services contractors to provide preventive and reactive maintenance services for NFBA.

2. MassDOT, Massachusetts Emergency Transportation Fiber Optic Network (METFON), Boston, MA The METFON project was a Statewide Emergency Allocated Fiber Optic Network connecting all emergency response and critical incident agencies, in the state of Massachusetts, over a proposed 40GigE Enterprise Network. Two of these agencies, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), and the Registry of Motor Vehicles in Quincy, MA were separated by over five miles of heavily urbanized terrain, which made a new fiber optic installation problematic. Jacobs designed a licensed digital microwave communications system to close the gap between these two agencies but still provide the maximum throughput of 1Gps. The wireless design incorporated sophisticated radio equipment utilizing dual-polarized transmission paths to minimize equipment complexity and cost while maximizing available bandwidth.

3. Delaware River Port Authority, Broadband Communications Options, Camden, NJ Jacobs evaluated the feasibility of broadband communications options to address DRPA requirements associated with the Central Operations Center. Jacobs evaluated the following options to address DRPA’s needs:

• Lease dark fiber connecting all DRPA bridges.

• Lease broadband service from local service provider.

• Build/operate broadband microwave utilizing existing DRPA licenses.

Our staff coordinated (1) the compilation of network maps for dark fiber providers in the region, (2) interviews with broadband service providers regarding service availability and lease rates, and (3) research regarding microwave feasibility, including preliminary pricing for a digital microwave system.

We then developed a feasibility report detailing the capacity, availability, reliability, and pricing of the alternative solutions.

DAN SEEDAH, PHD, PE – PROJECT MANAGER:

Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), State of Massachusetts Freight Network and Freight Planning - Understanding the Impacts of COVID-19 Study, Statewide, MA. Role: Project Manager.

Dan serves as the project manager for the State of Massachusetts’ statewide study for MassDOT to analyze the impacts on COVID-19 on their freight network (including rail, highway, and air-related freight). The work plan that Dan developed, and is working on with his team, includes: conducting a detailed quantitative and qualitative assessment of COVID-19’s impacts on Massachusetts’s freight network and developing an impact-certainty about the future matrix (scenario analysis). The quantitative analysis includes truck origin-destination analysis, freight movement and parking, freight monitoring technologies, commercial vehicle crash analysis, air cargo trends, and marine cargo trends. The impact-certainty about the future matrix will be used in examining and prioritizing strategies pertaining to the state’s infrastructure, workforce, operations, and policies that need further attention in the next Massachusetts Freight Plan update.

WILL HOLIK, PHD, PE – PROJECT MANAGER:

Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), State of Minnesota Freight/Truck Station Location Optimization Plan, Statewide, MN. Role: Project Manager/Principal Investigator.

Will managed and led the development of MnDOT’s plan to optimize the location of maintenance garages and develop and implementation plan for facility replacement based on facility age, condition, and cost savings from the optimization models. The location models optimized maintenance vehicle routes to reduce operational expenses to MnDOT. A benefit-cost analysis was conducted to compare the operational improvements against costs to build new facilities, including land acquisition, site preparation and utility installation, building construction, wages, and fuel costs. The final result was a phased and prioritized implementation plan that indicated whether facilities should be relocated, rebuilt on-site, or combined.

II. FIRM

• Firm - Can you provide an example of the Firm’s experience in state freight if any?

NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (NJDOT), STATE FREIGHT STRATEGIC PLAN,

STATEWIDE, NJ

Jacobs led a multidisciplinary team in preparing the State of New Jersey’s statewide Freight-Rail Strategic Plan for NJDOT focused on maximizing the economic, environmental, and quality of life benefits of robust highway and rail freight systems. Building upon extensive coordination and input from multiple state agencies, Class I railroads, and shortline/terminal railroads, the study identified issues representing varying degrees of impediment to creating and operating a flexible and efficient freight rail system. These issues range from critical infrastructure improvement needs affecting operational capacity and integrating freight rail operations into local communities. Recommendations include: 1) facilitating the efficient and cost-effective movement of goods to businesses, industries, and consumers; 2) encouraging business and industry retention and growth; 3) improving public safety; 4) creating jobs; 5) reducing greenhouse gases to enhance the quality of life within New Jersey.
