Appendix A: Traffic Scope of Services

East 93rd Street/Woodhill Road (Miles Avenue to Quincy Avenue)

The work will include a collection of data, warrants and removal analysis at the below-mentioned intersections. Pavement striping and signing along with detailed maintenance of traffic plan is to be included.

Woodhill Road

• Mt. Auburn Avenue

• Buckeye/Shaker Boulevard

• Woodland Avenue

• Mt. Carmel Avenue

East 93rd Street

• Miles Avenue

• Harvard Avenue

• Aetna Road

• Union Avenue

• Kinsman Road

All of these aspects are given here in more detail. These principles shall be applied to all intersections within the limits of the project unless altered by the City of Cleveland Division of Traffic Engineering.

1. Acquisition of all traffic data shall be taken; including existing intersection geometrics, existing utilities, and pole locations.

2. Full 9-Hour turning movement counts shall be performed at all intersections within the design scope on a typical weekday for the hours of 6:30 A.M. to 9:30 A.M., 11:00 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. and 3:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. The counts shall be tallied in 15 minute intervals and must be split into two categories:

Autos/Light Truck and Medium/Heavy Trucks/Buses. The counts shall be processed to establish the current year average daily traffic (A.D.T.), 20 year A.D.T., design hour volume, directional distribution, percentage of buses and commercial trucks. The procedure shall be as outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 209 dated 1985.

3. The consultant shall submit a written report to the City of Cleveland, Division of Traffic Engineering. The report will show traffic count results, warrant analyses, conclusions, and recommendations for the below mentioned signals. The consultant is to perform a removal analysis at any signal found to be unwarranted. The report will also include an appendix showing data collection and any calculations used to determine recommendations. The consultant shall perform the removal analysis as outlined in the FHWA “User Guide for Removal of Not Needed Signals.”

4. The consultant shall provide pavement marking details and signing details along with appropriate summary charts. All signs within the right of way, including bike traffic control, parking control signs, and informational signs shall be included in the signing work. The Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the latest City of Cleveland Division of Traffic Engineering and ODOT Standards shall be utilized. The Specifications will be provided by the City of Cleveland. All striping, i.e., center lines, lane lines, stop bars, crosswalks, channelizing lines, transverse lines, etc. shall be painted using ODOT Epoxy pavement markings on concrete surface and thermoplastic on asphalt wearing surface. The intent is to match existing pavement markings.

Street name signs will be replaced using the latest City of Cleveland specifications. Street name signs will be mounted on mast arms at all signalized intersections. All signage shall comply with the OMUTCD in regards to design, color, and reflectivity.

5. Detailed maintenance of traffic plans will not be required for the entire corridor. However, the consultant shall provide enough detail so as to convey to the contractor the requested scheme. At a minimum, this shall include:

detailed typical sections with lane widths, approach and exit details for each phase, phased construction details for intersections or reconstruction areas, requirements for relocated traffic signals, and construction sequence for completing the entire project. Two way traffic, one lane in each direction will be maintained at all times. Drawings shall be prepared according to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This set will also include a detailed set of notes describing that, which cannot be explained on paper including, but not limited to construction phasing and sequencing, maintaining driveways for businesses, residents and on-street parking. Maintenance of traffic plans will be submitted to Division of Traffic Engineering and Design concurrently for approval.

6. Approval of issues as outlined in this scope made by any other Division or Department other than the Department of Public Works, Division of Traffic Engineering will not be considered official approvals. Therefore, all plans and documents related to the above scope will be reviewed directly by the Division of Traffic Engineering.
