4. Conducts Road Safety Audits, identify appropriate potential projects for securing Federal/MDOT funding, warrant studies/analysis for signal removal/installation, traffic volume and crash data analysis, safety enhancement and feasibility studies.

5. Design vehicle detection equipment, PTZ cameras, communication and other ITS features as being part of the Project.

6. Identify location of existing power sources. Identify and design new and/or upgraded electrical power sources if required including route of both primary and secondary feeders to or from the source if located within 1500 feet of traffic signal controller cabinet, using existing duct bank(s) or existing overhead pole lead.

7. Design intersections and corridor widening/modification, pavement markings and ADA complaint sidewalk and curb ramps for the successful completion of the project.

8. Design of intersectional geometry and associated works, such as but not limited to Design of Center Left Turn lanes to accommodate the left turn signal phase, design of right turn only lanes, pavement markings and ADA complaint sidewalk and curb ramps for the successful completion of the project.

9. Design non-motorized projects such as bike path, pedestrian walkway and streetscape projects etc.

10. Design safe route to school and develop appropriate traffic circulation and safety improvements for schools.

11. Locate/identify underground utilities, where new Underground work is to be done or new lighting units to be installed.

12. Collect traffic volume counts (machine and manual) including turning movement counts, if required, for the successful implementation of the project.

13. For City’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS): Conduct needs analysis involving meetings with City of Detroit Traffic Engineering Division staff to determine system requirements. Develop network conceptual design to define how each element of the concept maps or traces to the system functional requirements and concept of operations.

Identify the wireless hardware for the project and if required, submit justification of selection for City and/or MDOT approval. Identify wireless technologies that will communicate with the TMC and the new hardware at each of the identified intersections and or locations. Design communications network to interface with the Traffic Management Center (TMC) and the proposed hardware. Design technology/software to process the camera images to collect and analyze traffic data such as vehicle counts, delay, level of service (LOS) and various performance metrics, etc. to provide the engineers with tools to evaluate and optimize traffic flow. Provide design and integration to develop latest connected vehicle technology and associated hardware.

14. Provide planning, design, integration and construction oversight for various infrastructure improvements.

15. Coordinate with various utility companies to obtain accurate utility information to minimize utility conflicts during construction.

16. Develop preliminary drawings (including for Grade Inspection (GI) submittal) during various design stage for review and comments.

17. Develop detailed construction drawings, specifications and project cost estimates for effective coordination and efficient execution of the construction work. The complete set of project drawings should be submitted TED and any other agency that may be involved for review and approval.

18. The detailed construction specifications will cover all materials to be used and, where possible, will give the catalog number and the appropriate specification of the item currently being used by the City and/or MDOT.
