4.0 TERMS OF REFERENCE
4.1 Introduction
The Town of Tillsonburg requires qualified consultants to conduct a traffic count program
through automatic and manual traffic data collection and verification at various locations
within the Town. The proponent will conduct automatic traffic counts to determine the
AADT for all locations monitored. The Town will use this information to update the road
classifications of all municipal roadways within the Town. The proponent will also conduct
manual traffic counts, warrant analysis and make recommendation of improvements with
budget cost estimates on select intersection and corridor locations within the Town. The
Town will use this information to identify the need for capital projects, if necessary.
It is expected that the work will be conducted in two separate phases in order to
appropriately capture representative traffic data. There are school year and road
construction constraints that limit the opportunity to conduct data collection. The details
are further outlined in the sections below.
4.2 Scope of Work
In general terms and upon award of the RFP, the Consultant will be required to perform
the following activities. It should be noted that throughout the duration of this project, the
Consultant will be responsible for providing their own traffic control measures, if
applicable. Any traffic control measures taken are to meet the Ministry of Transportation's
Book 7 mandate, at no additional cost to the Town. General coordination with other on-
going projects in the Town will be facilitated through Town staff.
4.2.1 Data Collection
Manual Data Collection
There are seven (7) intersection locations where the proponent will conduct manual data
collection for the purpose of pedestrian signal and all-way stop warrant analysis. The
proponent is also to identify intersection improvements, including sightlines and
. intersection configuration, with budget estimates. The locations of manual data cqllection
are identified as follows:
• Turning Movement and Pedestrian Crossing-Four (4) Locations
o Quarter Town Line & Concession Street
o Quarter Town Line & Esseltine Drive
o Broadway Street & Lisgar Avenue
o Broadway Street & Glendale Drive
• Pedestrian Crossing Only-Three (3) Locations
o Devonshire Avenue & Lisgar Avenue
o Broadway Street & Sanders Street
o Tillson Avenue pedestrian crossing between Elgin Street and Durham
Street
Page4 of18
TOWN OF TILLSONBURG OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT RFP 15-007
Consulting Services for a
Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations
Automatic Data Collection
To identify current AADT of representative roadways within the municipal boundaries of
Tillsonburg, approximately 180 automatic vehicle count locations are anticipated
throughout the Town. The AADT information will serve to help the Town determine
Minimum Maintenance road classifications for all roadways within the municipal
boundaries of the Town. The proponent is to provide a methodology to determine
strategic locations that achieve monitoring efficiencies and avoid redundancies.
For the purpose of scoping the traffic data collection, the County of Oxford road
designations will be used. The County's Official Plan identifies arterial and collector
roads within Schedule T -4 Town of Tillsonburg Transportation Network Plan. The count
location distribution based on Official Plan road types is approximated as follows:
• Collector and Arterial Roads-One hundred (1 00) Count Locations
• Local Roads -Eighty (80) Count Locations
It is anticipated that the number of automatic count locations may change based on the
proponent's methodology for location_determination. The proponent is to provide a unit
rate for automatic count locations for collector/arterial roads and local roads.
For automatic and manual traffic data collection, the proponent will identify in their
proposal any equipment to be used for data collection. It is anticipated that the automatic
traffic counts will be conducted with tubes and counters. The proponent is to identify the
type and model to be used. Collection guidelines are further discussed in the section
below.
4.2.2 Data Validation
The proponent is to provide a procedure in their proposal that will be used for validating
count data. The Town has historical count data that can be used at a minimum to check
the count data obtained as part of this work to flag significant volume or travel pattern
changes. It is the responsibility of the proponent to re-collect data to verify any
inconsistencies. Further, it is the responsibility of the proponent to va.lidate data using
context sensitivity, such as unexpected conditions noted during field observations. All
· · questionable data must be identified to the Town and may be required to be re-collected
to capture the expected activity. It is the responsibility of the proponent to re-collect data
based on equipment failures, errors in equipment setup, poor methodology or failures.
4.2.3 Collection Guidelines
General
• Directional vehicle volume must be collected at all locations
• Data must be collected for both directions on the same day
• Days of collection must be Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday
• Data may only be collected during the school season, but not on school holidays
Page 5 of 18
TOWN OF TILLSONBURG OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT RFP15-007
Consulting Services for a
Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations
• Data collection must consider other events that may affect travel demand and
volumes, and should not be collected on those days
• Data collection must be scheduled to capture expected, typical day traffic patterns
Manual Data Collection
o All data to be collected at the morning peak from 7:00-9:00AM, the mid-day peak
from 11 :OOAM-1 :OOPM and the afternoon peak from 2:00-6:00PM
o Data for cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians must be collected
o Data must be collected on a dry, clear day
Automatic Data Collection
o Counter equipment locations determined through consultant methodology
• Data collection must be conducted using 15 minute intervals
o Collector and Arterial Roads-Continuous collection for 72 hour duration
o Local Roads-Continuous collection for 24 hour duration
4.2.4 Collection Phasing
It is anticipated that two phases of data collection work will be required. The phases will
be timed such that collection captures s.chool related traffic and does not capture
construction detouring traffic. Two manual count locations will be monitored in both
Phase 1 and Phase 2. The Town is willing to consider a single phase of work provided
that the proponent can demonstrate the ability to complete all of the data collection work
outlined below prior to June 19, 2015 without impacts to data collection accuracy or cost
to complete the work. The two phases will consist of the number of count locations
outlined in Table 1 below:
Table 1 -Phasing Summary

collection components.
Automatic Data Collection
The reporting for automatic data collection should be brief in nature. The report should be
limited to presentation of the data results for each location, data validation (if necessary),
AM and PM peaks, and AADT volumes.
Manual Data Collection
The reporting for manual data collection will generally summarize the data collection
methodology and procedure, data results for each location, data validation, warrant
analysis results, recommendations for improvement and budget estimates for capital
budgeting purposes.
4.3 Upset Limit
The estimate submitted by the Proponent shall be the upset limit and the Proponent shall
not be paid in excess of the upset limit without the prior written approval of the Town.
Any work that is felt to be outside the scope of the Terms of Reference must be identified
and discussed with the Town's Project Manager for authorization and resolution. If additional
costs are to be incurred over the upset limit, written authorization to proceed must be
obtained prior to the commencement of the additional work.
Further, no invoice will be honoured for any work whatsoever that was not authorized by the
Town's Project Manager in writing. Verbal authority, regardless of the source, will not be
honoured in considering invoices.

Disbursements will be reimbursed at cost and must be job related. Backup documentation for
all disbursements is to be submitted with each invoice. Operating and overhead expenses will
not be considered as a disbursement. The following are examples of acceptable and
unacceptable disbursements:
Acceptable Disbursements:
Unacceptable Disbursements:
Travel-Automobile
Printing and Reproduction
Meals
Communications (telephone bills)
AutoCAD Charges
Computer Charges
Equipment Charges (unless clearly identified in
proposal)
Information Technology Charges
Describe in detail the basis upon which the fee is based, and clearly outline the cost of any
exclusion, provisional and/or discretionary items, which may impact the proposed fee.
It· is the Evaluation Committee's intention to normalize the Proponent Fee to ensure that
assumptions made by each Proponent are comparable. The normalized figures will be used in
the Proposal Fee component of the evaluation.
The lowest fee proposed for the entire project shall be awarded the full amount of points
available for the fee portion of the evaluation. All higher fees proposed shall be awarded
points, rounded to the closest full point. Evaluation of the proposed fee for scoring is based on
the following formula:
[1 -{(Proponent Fee-Lowest Fee) + (Lowest Fee)}] x 20
Page 14 of 18
TOWN OF TILLSONBURG OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT RFP 15-007
Consulting Services for a
Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations
This formula is designed to give the lowest cost the maximum point (20 points). All other firms
wili be evaluated against the lowest cost. It can be seen from the formula that zero.points will
be given if the Proponents' proposed fee is more than double the lowest proposed fee.
The Evaluation Committee will review all Proposals received and score the Proposals using a
consensus approach.

3 . Approach and Methodology
As detailed in the RFP, the traffic count program requires:
,-
' r
('
r
('-
(
r
~ Conducting 8-hour manual intersection turning movement and r
pedestrian crossing counts at the four (4) identified locations; (
~ Conducting 8-hour manual pedestrian crossing studies at the three (
(3) identified locations; r
ll> Cond.uctin. g 24-hou. r twocway automatic traffic recorder (ATR) counts . ' --
at 80 locations on local roads;
~ Conducting 72-hour two-way automatic traffic recorder counts at
1 00 locations on collector and arterial roads; and
~ Conducting two (2) additional 8-hour manual intersection turning
movement and pedestrian crossing counts at two (2) of the
previously counted locations completed in Phase 1 (manual data
collection phase).
3.1 Data Collection
3.1.1 Phase 1 (Manual Data Collection)
Paradigm intends to make use of our Video Data Collection units (Scout
VCU manufactured by Miovision) to undertake the required manual counts.
We consider this approach to be a superior methodology to manual counts
as it will provide the Town with not only the count data, but also a
permanent record of the count that is audita.ble, traceable and repeatable.
Further, operational issues that may not be revealed by the count data itself
(for example unusual pedestrian-automobile conflicts)· are frequently
revealed through a review of the video record. The accuracy of the Miovision
counts is also higher and more consistent than traditional manual counts.
3.1.2 Phase 2 (Automatic Data Collection)
The locations of the 180 ATR stations are not yet identified. Accordingly, we
will work with Town of Tillsonburg staff to refine the list of locations. Based
on our experience there are a number ()f factors that require consideration in
the placement of the ATR counters. As part of developing this plan we.will:
1> Review the previous traffic counting programs and. identify areas that
had 24-hour counts completed during those programs;
~ In conjunction with Town staff, identify those 24-hour stations where
traffic data will have changed significantly due to development or
road improvements or roads that will continue to have low volumes;
~ Identify locations where traffic data has not been collected in the past
and assess the need for including them in the 2015 program;

·II> Undertake a windshield survey of the entire road network in the Town
of Tillsonburg and develop an inventory of the surface type, number
of lanes, posted speed and adjacent land use;
11> Identify specific count locations where data can be collected
effectively and safely for staff and the general public; and
11> Review and refine the automatic count locations in conjunction with
Town staff prior to commencing counts.
3.2 Data Validation
3.2.1 Phase 1 (Manual Data Collection}
11> Miovision technical staff configure every video that is uploaded to the
Miovision Platform. Vehicle entry .and exit points are manually defined
and all possible vehicle tracks are determined and configured. Any
processing anomalies are manually corrected in accordance with the
following quality checks:
• For volumes of up to 100 vehicles within a 15 minute period, the
data will be accurate to ±5 vehicles;
• For volumes greater than 100 vehicles within a 15 minute period,
the data will be accurate within 5%; and
• Accuracy is guaranteed with proper setup of the Scout Video
Colleeti.on Unit.
1> Miovision includes a 12% reprocessing step where 12% of every
hour is manually reviewed to ensure data is consistent and accurate;
1> Miovision also includes a visual time-of-day check where each
dataset is visually reviewed for anomalies;
1> Paradigm will then undertake a comparison with previously collected
count data provided by the Town; if available; and
11> Any count(s) that do not seem representative will be recounted.
3.2.2 · Phase 2 (Automatic Data Collection}
1> Although the RFP specifies that local automatic counts be done for
only a 24-.hour period, we have made. allowance for each of the local
road counts to be collected over a 72-hour period (arterial and
collector counts) so that we can compare the daily volumes as a
means to check the reasonableness of the counts;
1> Once the data collection is complete, the information from the
automatic counts is downloaded at Pyramid's central office;
1> The surveyor's location logs are checked to ensure that the required
information has been provided and that he/she had the correct facing
and location. Once the logs have been referenced with the data, files
are checked for completeness and accuracy;
<(
Town of lillsonburg I Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations I RFP 2015-007 I May 2015
11> Any data found to be questionable or irregular in any way is
disregarded and a recount perfqrmed. If an irregularity is not
detected by our office and found by Town staff, Pyramid will
immediately deploy the appropriate measures to have the location
recounted; ·
1> The two (2) additional manual counts will be uploaded to Miovision
. for processing and they will use the same data validation approach
as identified in Phase 1; and
1> The data summaries for both the manual counts and the automatic
counts will then be made available to Paradigm. The counts obtained
in 2015 will then be compared to previous counts from the same or
similar location(s) to test the validity of the count prior to undertaking
any analyses.
3.3 Work Plan
3.3.1 Phase 1 (Manual Data Collection)
The proposed Phase 1 work plan is as .follows:
1> Start-up Meeting: A meeting will be held with the Town of Tillsonburg
to review the scope of work and schedule, confinli manual count
locations, discuss any specific issues related to the count locations,
provide signed Agreement, Insurance Certificate, WSIB Certificate,
copy of our Health and Safety Plan and Procedures, and establish a
communications protocol. The agenda. for this meeting will be
distributed no later than two (2) business days before the meeting
and the meeting minutes will be provided to the Town within five (5)
business days.
1> Conduct Site Investigations: Paradigm staff will undertake site
investigations at each ofthe seven (7) manual count locations to
inventory the traffic and roadway conditions, sight lines and lane
configurations in the immediate area of the intersections and
crossing locations. The site visit will also include confirming the
transportation infrastructure (transit, cycling and pedestrian) within
the study area. ·
1> Conduct Manual Counts: The Miovision Video Detection Units will be
set up at the 7 manual count locations to capture data over an 8-hour
period on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The count locations
are as follows:
1> Turning Movement and Pedestrian Crossing
• Quarter Town Line & Concession Street
• Quarter Town Line & Esseltine Drive
• Broadway Street & Usgar Avenue
• Broadway Street & Glendale Drive

~ Pedestrian Crossing Only
• Devonshire Avenue and Lisgar Avenue
• Broadway Street and Sanders Street
• Tilson Avenue pedestrian crossing between Elgin
Street and Durham Street
The counts will be conducted during the morning peak period from
7:00AM to 9:00AM, the mid-day peak period from 11:00 AM to 1:00
· PM, and the evening peak period from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The
counts will include car, truck, bike and pedestrian movements and
volumes. The weather forecast will be monitored to ensure the
counts are collected during dry and clear days. The manual counts
will be completed prior to June 19, 2015.
~ Data Processing: The manual counts will be uploaded to Miovision
for processing. Miovision technical staff configure every video that is
uploaded to the Miovision Platfonn. Vehicle entry and exit points are
manually defined and all possible vehicle tracks are determined and
configured. Any processing anomalies are manually corrected in
accordance with a 12% reprocessing step which includes reviewing
12% of every hour to ensure data is consistent and accurate, and
each dataset is visuaily reviewed for time-ofcday anomalies. The data
summaries inclusive of cars, trucks .• bikes and pedestrians will then
be made available to Paradigm.
~ Traffic Analyses and Improvement Options: Paradigm will undertake
the respective pedestrian crossing and al.l-way stop w. arrants. We will
also undertake capacity analyses using Synchro 9 software to
determine operating characteristics including level of service, delay
and volume to capacity ratios. The warrants, capacity analysis and
sight line review based on our site investigation will be used to
identify if any improvements are required for the intersections. Cost
estimates will be prepared for budgeting purposes where
improvements are identified.
~ Phase 1 Reporting: A report will be prepared for the manual data
collection which will summarize our approach; methodology;
procedures; data results in the form of summaries and graphics for
each location; validation processes; warrant results; capacity
analyses; and the findings and conclusions, including improvement
cost estimates prepared in Excel. The report will also include
appendices with summary spreadsheets, Synchro reports, warrant
calculations and raw manual count data.
Five final hardcopies of the Phase 1 report will be provided to the
Town. A .pdf of the final report will also be provided along with digital
copies of the report in Word format and any related Excel
spreadsheets. The reports will be submitted on or before July 15,
2015.

3.3.2 Phase 2 (Automatic Data Collection)
The proposed Phase 2 work plan is as follows:
11> Preliminary Selection of Automatic Count Locations: Paradigm will
review the previous traffic counting program and identify areas that
had 24-hour counts completed during previous programs. We will
also review and assess the merits of recounting statiOns where traffic
data will have changed significantly due to development or road
improvements or roads that will continue to have low volumes.
Furthermore, we will identify locations where traffic data has not been
collected in the past and assess the need for including them in the
2015 program.
Using Excel, we will prepare a list of up to 180 candidate locations
within the municipal boundaries of Tillson burg. Maps will be
prepared showing the proposed arterial and collector road locations
based on Schedule T-4 Town ofTillsonburg Transportation Network
Plan. The local road ADTcount locations will be plotted on mapping
obtained through the Town's Geographic Land Information and
Mapping Resource (GLIMR). The maps will also show the respective
Highway Class (1-6) b.ased on the Municipal Maintenance Standards.
A preliminary count schedule will also be developed based on the
road classific~ion, location, and duration of the counts.
11> Windshield Survey: Paradigm will undertake a windshield survey of
the entire road network in the Town of Tillsonburg and develop an
inventory of the surtace type,number of lanes, speed limits and
adjacent land use. Based on the survey we will make any refinements
to the preliminary list, mapping, and scheduling of ADT locations and
forward it to the town for their review prior to the Phase 2 Start-up
Meeting.
11> Phase 2 Start-up Meeting: A meeting will be held with the Town of
Tillsonburg during the week of August 24, 2015 to review the
candidate ADT locations and schedule. The quantum of the number
of ADT counts and the allocation of the number of arterial and
collector versus local counts may change based on our selection
methodology noted above. We will also review with the Town any
significant disruptions in traffic based on known reconstruction or
resurfacing projects that are scheduled. Paradigm will also look for
direction from the Town on the recounting for monitoring purposes of
the two (2) manual count locat.ions (previously counted in Phase 1 ).
Refinements to the overall ADTcount program will be made by
Paradigm based on the input from the Town. The agenda for this
meetin9 will be distributed no later than two (2) business days before
the meeting and the meeting minutes will be provided to the Town
within five (5) business days.
11> Conduct Automatic Counts: The automatic counts will not be started
until after September 7, 2015 and completed prior to November 15,
2015. The automatic traffic counts will be carried out using Road

Runner 3 and Nu-metric NC200 traffic counters. The methqdology for
the c:ounter im;tallation varies depending on the roadway cross-
section. The PTI closures and installation crew will follow the
procedures set out in the OTII!l book 7.
Each installation crew will consist of two persons: one installer and
one traffic corittol perso'n {Spottei"/Fiag person). Botli crewmembers
will wear appropriate safety equipment and dress to meet the
requirements of tlie Ministry of Labour. Safety boots, vests, gloves,
hard hats and eye protection will· be provided to field crews installing
the count equipment to ensure proper protection and high visibility to
oncoming traffic.
The equipment van is a highly visible vehicle fitted with a 360°
beacon and flashing arrow board. The vehicle is fully equipped with a
fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and cellular phone in case of an
emergency. A copy of the pertinent OTM Book 7 figures and traffic
control plans will also be kept in the equipment vehicle.
Counters will remain at each location from Tuesday to Thursday for a
minimum of 72 hours for local roads and 72 hours for arterial and
collector roads collecting directional traffic volumes. Data will be
summarized into 15-minute intervals and include directional split and
Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADl).
!l> Data Processing: Once the data collection is complete, the
information from the automatic counts is downloaded at Pyramid's
central office. The surveyor's location logs are checked to ensure
that the required information has been provided and that he/she had
the correct facing and location. Once the logs have been referenced
with the data, files are checked for completeness and accuracy. Any
data found to be questionable or irregular in any way is disregarded
and a recount performed. If an irregularity is not detected by our
office and found by Town staff, Pyramid will immediately deploy the
appropriate measures to have the location recounted. The two (2)
additional manual counts will be uploaded to Miovision for
processing and they will use the same data validation approach as
identified in Phase 1. The data summaries for both the manual counts
and the automatic counts will then be made available to Paradigm.
The counts obtained in 2015 will then be compared to previous
counts from the same or similar location(s) to test the validity of the
count prior to undertaking any analyses.
!l> Analyses of Automatic Counts: Paradigm will update the lists and
maps to show the volume of traffic throughout the road network
including AADT and AM and PM peak hours for each road within the
municipal boundary. The tables and maps will be colour-coded to
indicate whether the data was an actual count or estimated count
based on trip generation factors and nearby counts. The AADT's will
be developed based on seasonal variation factors obtained from the
Town or through County or Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO)
sources.

4 Quality Assurance and Control
. Paradigm prides itself on providing q1.1ality consulting services. Our staff
wor1< in a corporate culture advocating quality assurance, continuous
improvement and "doing it right the first time". Quality is an integral part of
our day-to-day work and fundamental to our long-term success.
The main principle of our Quality Management Program is that all project
activities are to be performed in a planned and process-controlled manner in
accordance with accepted standards, specifications, practices, policies and
procedures conforming to theProjecfTerms of Reference and Agreement.
Quality oversight activities involve internal reviews and independent internal
audits to ensure deliverables fully meet client objectives. Town ofTillsonburg
staff will be involved in the quality process as appropriate.
When noncconformance, or conditions which may lead to non-conformance
are detected, corrective action will betaken immediately. Quality issues will
also be addressed during progress meetings.
The Quality Management Program begins with our Project Manager, who
establishes a Quality Assurance (QA) Plan at the outset of the project. The
QA Plan Will incorporate ttie following key elements:
~ A work plan that details project scope, cost and schedule;
P> Data quality reviews at critical milestones;
~ Checks of data calculations;
~ Scheduled audit(s) at appropriate stage(s) in project progress to
identity anyomissions or errors and the proper corrective actions;
~ A project organization chart defining roles and responsibilities of
staff; and
1> Updates to the project budget and schedule to reflect any changes.
The data collected by the field team will be sufficiently analyzed and "peer
reviewed" to expose any potential weaknesses/risks. The findings of these
independent reviews will be documented on checklists and/or QC forms.
Once we are satisfied that the data, analyses and reports meet our exacting
quality standards, Paradigm will submit the deliilerables to the Town and
request a formal review to receive feedback on the products.
Paradigm takes the confidentiality of client material very seriously. In their
employment contracts, all employees are required to adhere to strict
confidentiality protocol regarding client related documents, software
products, samples, equipment, drawings, draft agreements, specifications,
client lists, technical information, know-how, performance or process data,
cost or financial information, marketing or business plans, facility
specifications, design concepts, and all other items of a confidential or
Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited I Page 15
Town o!Tillsonburg I Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations I RFP 2015-007 .I May 2015
proprietary nature whether verbal or written and in whatever medium. We
also have practices in place for the management of confidential data.
In addition to these general quality. practices, we intend to undertake the
following specific quality control measures for the different components.
4.1 Time Management and Cost Control
The first step to time management is to set dates for activity and task
completion, and to obtain the commitment of the various disciplines to
meeting these milestones. No milestone, even at an early stage in the work,
can be compromised. This obligatory discipline leads to ensure that slippage
does not occur. ·
We are confident in our ability to effectively control the project schedule by:
~ Creating apro)ect organization structure with single accountability for
schedule management vested in the Paradigm Project Manager;
~ Ensuring additional resources are available from our staff pool to
meet schedule commitments and mil~tones when required;
~ Planning critical schedule activities and contingencies, aggressively
pursuing decisions, and emphasizing prompt resolution cif key
issues; and
11> Rigorously and continuously monitoring the schedule and tracking
progress at regular intervals to detect scope creep or schedule
slippage, and recommend early corrective action.
Our cost control procedures are intended to provide confidence that costs
are being monitored on an on-going basis and that expenditures are being
budgeted accurately. At the conclusion of each invoicing period, we will
generate an invoice that provides the basis for the fees and expenses to-
date which will be reviewed against task completion. This cost control
approach also enables us to identify potential overruns at the earliest
opportunity, and provides time for corrective aetion to keep the project on
budget. · ·
4.2 Mam.11al Data Collection Field Operations
The manual turning movement counts and pedestrian crossing counts will
be conducted using the Miovision video data collection units. Trained
Paradigm staff will set up the units in the field. The units are located within
the road allowance but not within the travelled portion of the roadway. They
will be attached to an existing street light, hydro pole, or tree.
Field staff will wear appropriate safety equipment and dress to meet the
requirements of the Ministry of Labour. Safety boots, vests, gloves, hard
hats and eye protection will be provided to field crews installing the count
equipment to ensure proper protection and high visibility to traffic and
pedestrians.

Counters will remain on site for less than 24-hours and will be taken down
by Paradigm field staff. The set-up and take-down will take less than 30
minutes respectively at each location.
Once the actual data collection is complete, the information is uploaded to
the. Miovision website for processing by Miovision staff. The summarized
count data is then provided to Paradigm for use in undertaking the
respective warrants and intersection analyses.
Automatic Data Collection Field Operations
The automatic traffic counts will be carried out using Road Runner 3 and Nu-
metric NC200 traffic counters. The methodology for the counter installation
varies depending on roadway cross-section. The closures and installation
crew will follow the procedures set out in the OTM Book 7.
Each installation crew will consist of two persons: one installer and one
traffic control person (Spotter/ Flag person). Both crewmembers will wear . .
appropriate safety equipment and dress to meet the requirements of the
Ministry of Labour. Safety boots, vests, gloves, hard hats and eye protection
will be provided to field crews installing the count equipment to ensure
proper protection and high visibility to on-coming traffic.
The equipment van is a highly visible vehiCle fitted with a 360° beacon and
flashing arrow board. The vehicle is fully equipped with a fire extinguisher,
first aid kit, and cellular phone in case of an emergency. A copy of the
pertinent OTM Book 7 figures and traffic control plans will also be kept in the
equipment vehicle.
Counters will remain on site for a minimum of 72 hours (unless otherwise
requested) collecting volume, speed and vehicle classification. Data shall be
summarized into 15-minute intervals and include directional split and AADT.
Pyramid supervision staff closely monitors each phase of the data collection.
Once the actual data collection is complete, the information is downloaded
at Pyramid central office. The surveyor's location logs are checked to ensure
that the required information has been provided and that he/she had the
correct facing and location. Once the logs have been referenced with the
data, files are checked for completeness and accuracy. Any data found to
be questionable or irregular in any way is disregarded and a recount
performed. If an irregularity is not detected by our office and found by Town
staff, Pyramid will immediately deploy the appropriate measures to have the
location recounted.
Completed counts shall be provided to Paradigm no later than seven (7)
days after the last count.

and pricing details.
5.1 Schedule
Paradigm understands that the work is expected to be carried out in two
distinct phases to ensure.that representative traffic data is captured as part
of the project. There is typically seasonal variations in traffic data which can
be significant depending on the road classification, the function of the
roadway as a recreational or commuter route, and the time of year. Other
variables that effect the volume of traffic on roadways are the types of
adjacent land uses and if the.land uses are significant generators of traffic
throughout the day or just during peak hours.
5-1-1 Phase 1 (Manual Data Collection)
Phase 1 is to commence upon award of the project to Paradigm. During this
initial phase Paradigm will arrange and attend the Phase 1 Start-up Meeting

Sound transportation policies dearly articulate a vision, goals and objectives for
the movement of peopl~;goods and serv.i,ces in our communitl!i!s.These pOiides
are most effective when they are well integrated with and reflect land use and other
policies for the community.
Transportation policy planning projects encompass many areas such as Official Plan
policies, integrated downtown transportation strategies, public transit plaris and
provision for pedestrians and cyclists. in all cases, the analyses and development
of transportation plans depends on a dear· definition of community needs and
concerns as well as a systematic process of understanding problems, identifYing
potential solutions and a sound evaluation of the implications of alternatives.
Paradigm has extensive experience in conducting transportation policy planning
projects, utilizing a broad range of technical analyses and working closely with
stakeholder interests.

The challenge in most of our community plans is in finding the proper balance between
the level of transportation service (safety, capadty, efficiency) and the resulting
economic, social and natural environmental impacts. This balance is determined in pa:rt,
by the degree ofconsensus among community stakeholders, decision makers and
approving agencies.

The impact of new development on traffic operations is a matter of major importance
to roadway authorities. This is related to increasing peak period congestion on urban
roadways, the need to maintain.high levels of safety and limited funding to keep
roadway facilities in a state of good repair. Provision of a traffic impact study along with
a development application is a common requirement across Ontario.
Paradigm ·is actively involved in conducting traffiC impact studies on an on-going basis
for a wide variety of developments. Our proven, successful approach utilizes several
important features:
• We work closely with the development planners to understand project
requirements and constraints.
• We also work closely with roadway authorities to fully understand their concerns
and requirements.
• We utilize up-to-date data and traffic analysis tools to ensure the analyses is
technically sound.
• Company princip.als are invOlVed in each Project to en·.sure recomniendationS
are sound and will have a high likelihood of acceptance.

neighbourhood. Residents must be involved in creating the plan and 'selling' the plan
to their community.
Our strategiC approach to traffic calming recognizes the following:
• Ev~ryone Jnus~ understand that forevery"Action"the~ is a "Reacti<;>n~
• The most effective solutions have the most significant impacts.
• Traffic calming affects no.t just motorists travelling through an area but also
the local residents.
• Many trade-offs (benefits vs. disbenefits) must be considered in selecting
the most appropriate tools.
• Emergency and community service vehicle impacts need to be considered.
• Residents must be prepared to trade-off their own convenience to
achieVe improvements.
• Neighbourhood consensus mustbe achieved to a large degree.

Parking is an important component of a modern hospital complex that invohi~s.
considerations of parking supply, control and pricing. The different parking users have
very different needs and inadequate parking provisions often results in traffic problems .
and impacts on adjacent areas.
At Paradigm our approach to Hospital parking planning includes
consideration of such key issues as:
• Detailed surveys of parking utilization and parking users to fully understand
the nature of parking demand
• Forecasts of future parking and traffic needs based on Hospital development plans
• Assessing opportunities to better utilize existing .parking facilities
• Reducing the impact of Hospital parking and traffic on neighbourhoods
• Evaluation of alternate control and pricing strategies.
• Potential to reduce parking needs using Transportation Demand

Our transportation planners believe that the planning process is just as important as
the recommendations themselves in developing practicalsolutions that also achieve.
community and political support.
our successful transportation projects solicit community input early in the stud)/ to
increase the opportunity for consensus. Our method of building community support
does not rely upon sporadic open house venues isolated from other activities and
investigations. Instead, as an on-going part of our studies, public input is actively
pursued through an outreach process in.inore infurmal settings such as focus groups
and workshops designed in response to the level of stakeholder interest.
This approach fosters commitment, understanding, consensus and ownership
of the transportation recommendations;. !t :avoids confrontation and encourages
constructive input.
Paradigm ·staff have extensive expeirfence with public consultation as part of our
transportation master plans, traffic calming studies, and environmental assessment
projects. We employ a wide variety of techniques tailored to meet the specific
requirements of the project.

Over the last decade spatially based data has become more mainstream in all aspects of
transportation planning andiraffic engineering. Our philosophy with respec;tto
technology allows us to make us of GIS information and tools in many unique and
varied forms.
Common applications include the use of GIS mapping for crea~ing network models,
geocodin_g and C:OmprehensiVe.spatiaf analyses of OriQin-destiriatfon and other
demographic data. More unique applications include the use of GIS software to analyze
parking supply and demand data, as well as data collection including the using ofGPS
equipment to collect speed delay and routing information.
Paradigm has made extensive use of GIS desktop mapping in all of its transportation
master·plal'lning and sub-area studies. hi. addition, we have significant experience in
collecting raw field data andthrough GIS processes translating this information into
spatial databases using in all types of planning applications.
