SCOPE OF SERVICES

MOBILITY HUBS IMPLEMENTATION

This Exhibit forms an integral part of the agreement between the State of Florida Department of Transportation (hereinafter referred to as the DEPARTMENT) and Aecom Technical Services, !!!£: (hereinafter referred to as the CONSULT ANT) relative to the transportation facility described as foHows:

Financial Project ill: 435781-1-22-01

Description: Mobility Hub Implementation services for Broward County

PURPOSE

This Exhibit describes work items that the CONSULTANT might be asked to perfonn;

providing management support, technical support, technical analysis, interagency and public coordination that will advance the mobility hub preliminary engineering and environmental clearance undertaken in this contract. Specific work tasks will be assigned by the DEPARTMENT through individual task work orders.

The scope of work and the responsibilities ofthe CONSULTANT and the DEPARTMENT in connection with developing implementation plans and conceptual designs for the mobility hub concept, introduced in the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), are described herein. The intent ofthis scope ofwork is to advance one or more mobility hub(s) through the preliminary engineering and environmental review phase; facilitating the advancement ofa hub project into the design and right-of-way acquisition phases.

The Sroward MPO 2040 LRTP wil1 continue to feature the mobility hub concept. The CONSULTANT is expected to incorporate any new parameters and updated guidance relative to mobility hubs from the 2040 LRTP within all deliverables of this scope of work. The phases of implementation that the CONSULT ANT shaH be responsible for wiIJ include the following at a minimum:

1.Review and evaluation of prior efforts in relation to the mobility hub concept
2.Identification of one or more mobility hub locations for the preparation ofconceptual

design and implementation plans

3. Development of the project development approach for selected mobility hub locations

4. Conducting traffic and transit operational analysis for selected mobility hub locations

50f47

5. Conducting environmental assessments and clearance for mobility hub improvements including class of action determination, preparation ofenvironmental documents, and approvals to enter final design

6. Preparing conceptual designs and renderings for mobility hub improvements

7. Supporting public involvement activities as necessary including engagement of the general public, business and development community, and local government

8. Coordinating with federal agencies including the Federal Highway Administration and

Federal Transit Administration

9. Coordinating with state and local environmental resource agencies

The CONSULT ANT shaH perform those engineering services required for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Location and Design Approval or analogous Federal Transit

Administration (FTA) requirements, including consideration of potential social, economic, engineering and environmental effects and mitigation, along with the reports and preliminary plans for developed concepts. The work will be closely coordinated with the efforts ofother transit, urban development, and highway planning activities affecting selected mobility hub locations.

The CONSULTANT shall be aware that as a project is developed, certain modifications and/or improvements to the original recommendation may be required. The CONSULTANT is to incorporate these refinements into the design and will consider this effort to be an anticipated and integral part of the work. This will not be a basis for any supplemental fee request(s).The CONSULTANT may be retained to accomplish other related activities.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

One of the major elements of the Broward MPO 2035 LRTP was integrating transportation and land use; this resulted in the introduction of the Mobility Hub concept, identification of Mobility

Hub locations, and promotion ofpremium transit service. The Mobility Hub concept considers form and function and is envisioned as a place where people would interact with a multi-modal transportation system. Additional analysis is needed to determine the optimum treatments and improvements that will support the design and implementation of the mobility hubs. The Broward MPO 2040 LRTP to be adopted in 2014 will continue to promote the mobility hub concept.

The Florida Department ofTransportation (FOOT), Broward County Transit (BCT), Broward

Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and South Florida Regional Transportation

Authority (SFRT A), hereinafter referred to as the PARTNERS, are collaborating with the local jurisdictions to further evaluate selected mobility hub locations within Broward County. The

PARTNERS recognize the need to provide nodes within the transportation system that fulfill both a transportation function and a place-making function. These nodes playa critical role in the

60f47 regional transportation system and can serve as origin, destination, or transfer point for a significant portion oftrips. They are areas where different modes oftransportation, including walking, bicycling, and riding transit, come together seamlessly and where there is a potential for economic development.

STUDY OBJECTIVES

The study will produce conceptual layouts, implementation plans, and environmental clearance for one or more mobility hub( s) selected by the PARTNERS, in coordination with the local jurisdictions. Also to be developed will be any other associated improvements, in a determined radius of influence, which will achieve a high-quality user experience, seamless mobility and mode transfer. These improvements must enhance the transit passenger and/or pedestrian experience; walkability and other access to transit, encourage transit oriented development and have the potential to spur economic development. The CONSULT ANT will assist the DEPARTMENT to achieve the following objectives at a minimum:

• Creating clear, direct and effective transfers between transit modes and routes.

• Adopting transit priority measures to ensure the efficient movement of surface transit to and from a station area.

• Providing an attractive pedestrian environment with a high level of priority on safety and amenities.

• Promoting Context Sensitive design principles within the hub's radius of influence that support complete streets while minimizing detrimental impacts to the efficient mobility ofgoods and services.

• Encouraging high-quality mobility infrastructure and public realm that is sensitive to the surrounding built context and community vision.

• Providing a concept plan for a diverse mix ofuses, including employment, housing, regional attractions and public spaces to create a high quality urban environment.

•Developing detailed phasing strategies connected with infrastructure improvements.
•Enhancing development potential and that is likely to attract development/

redevelopment.
