Page 3 of18 TOWN OF TILLSONBURG OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT RFP15-007 Consulting Services for a Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations 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 Page 6 of18 TOWN OF TILLSONBURG OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT RFP 15-007 Consulting Services for a Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations Schedule and deliverables are further discussed in the sections below. - 4.2.5 Reporting The proponent is to provide a summary report for each of the automatic and manual data 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. 4.4 Invoicing Invoices submitted require: a) Upset limit; b) Current and to-date expenditures per task with percentage completion; c) A history of all invoices submitted showing the amount; d) Budget remaining; e) Summary of work completed for the current period. Any invoice received, which does not meet the above requirements, will be returned unpaid.

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.

Paradigm Transportation Solutions Umited I Page 7 Town of nnsonburg ·I Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations I RFP 2015-007 I May 201.5 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; ~, Paradigm Transportation Solutions Umited I Page 8 ~ - ( \.

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 <( ~ r ~ ~ ,- ~ Town ofTillsonburg I Tr~ffi~ Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations I RFP 2015-007 I May 2015 ~ 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. Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited I Page 11 ~ Town ofTillsonburg I Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recommendations I RFP 2015-007 I May 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 Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited I Page 12 r ('-'· r· r r·.

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.

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. ~ r r ' f- r ' (- ,_ ' Town of nu~nburg I T!<ilfic Count Pl1)gram and Intersection Improvement RS!<ommendations I RFP 2015-007 I May 2015 4.3 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. <( Town of 1illsonburg 1 Traffic Count Program and Intersection Improvement Recomm.endations I RFP 2015-007 .I May 2015 4.4 Reports With all reports that are produced, Paradigm principals undertake a thorough revieW of the work product using Paradigm's standard Quality Review .
