The IDEA grant would deploy Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measure (ATSPM) at 54 intersections within the City of San Rafael. The ATSPM will enable the City to proactively monitor the health of their signal systems, and thereby improve arterial operations and enhance safety. The City also has plans to upgrade the intersections to operate with Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS), which would dynamically adapt the operations of the traffic signal based on traffic volume on the roadway. The combination of ATSPM and ATCS will enable the City to proactively manage and operate the traffic signals and would increase the overall signal performance and safety at all the intersections. To assist the City in the deployment of the signal system, AMG has put together a team of traffic engineering professionals who have demonstrated capabilities to meet the technical and managerial challenges expected on this assignment. I, Joy Bhattacharya, PE, PTOE, will serve as the Project Manager for this assignment. In addition, we have assembled a team of experienced professionals to serve the needs for providing traffic signal system related services to your agency. AMG’s team is proficient and thoroughly experienced in all of the required service areas, including Systems Engineering, ATSPM deployment, ATCS deployment, signal timing and coordination, signal system design, signal system communication including SIC, Fiber and wireless communication services. Our team is responsive and delivers quality, cost-efficient designs and solutions. Our proposed team has provided on-call project management and engineering services for various agencies including Citrus Heights, Stockton, San Francisco, Alameda, Orinda, Proposal to Provide Professional Services for Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) and Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) Deployment and Project Management | 2 Elk Grove, Monterey County, MTC, Orange County, SamTrans, AC Transit, and other organizations. We are currently on-call with SFCTA, SFMTA, SamTrans, Caltrans, and various other local cities. Our on-call services with Oakland, Alameda, Stockton, and Hayward include traffic signal system upgrades and providing support with preparing and updating ATSPM and ATCS implementation. We have a proven track record of completing projects on time and within budget to our client’s satisfaction for all our assignments. The following are highlights of our experience that demonstrate how we are qualified to perform traffic signal system consulting services for the City of San Rafael: • I am currently serving as the Systems Manager for the Category 1 or 2 implementation of the MTC’s IDEA grant program for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), City of Concord, City of Dublin, City of Alameda, and City of Hayward. All projects completed thus far have been completed on time and within budget. • AMG is setting up a CAV Traffic Signal Lab (CAV-Sig Lab) at the GoMentum Station testing facility. This facility would be made available to the City of San Rafael to test the ATSPM and ATCS operations prior to implementing in the field. The City staff would not need to use their own maintenance shop and scarce resources for testing the new system. • I have been directly or indirectly involved with multiple adaptive signal systems implemented in Northern California. I was the technical reviewer of the San Ramon ATCS, provided technical assistance for the Santa Rosa system, designed and implemented the City of Hayward adaptive system, deployed the adaptive system for City of Dublin and City of Fremont, and designed and integrated the InSync system for two corridors in Salinas. • All work will be performed by engineers at our local office in Walnut Creek. We are approximately 30 minutes away from your City. We can respond to any traffic signal emergency and support you immediately. • Our project team has extensive experience with Econolite controllers and Centracs traffic signal system. We have worked closely with their signal system on multiple projects. • Our team is experienced with ATSPM and adaptive signal system deployment. Joanna Liu is currently supporting the City of Dublin in preparing reports from their ATSPM system to proactively identify traffic signal related issues and providing solutions to fix the issue. Utilizing the detailed data from the ATSPM reports, Joanna can determine the performance measures of the signal systems, including Proposal to Provide Professional Services for Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) and Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) Deployment and Project Management | 3 Purdue Coordination Diagram, arrival on green and red, approach delay, etc. This information is being used to time signals along corridors to improve performance measures. • We have a team of technology communications experts that provide support with traffic signal communication through copper, fiber or wireless technology. • I teach signal operation and ATCS at UC Berkeley, which covers detail configuration of four off-the-shelf adaptive signal systems. • We are able to proactively manage the projects and act as extended City staff as needed. • We believe in the efficient use of resources and cost-effective solutions, as such we are committed to adherence to the project schedule and budget. • We have assembled the most qualified engineers with over 25 years experience and knowledge of ATSPM and ATCS implementation, system engineering, fiber and signal interconnect design. • The project team will not change without prior consent from the City. • When you work with AMG, you work with local people who are passionate about traffic signal systems and making them work most efficiently in communities where we live, work, and play. I am authorized by the firm to negotiate a contract with the City and hereby certify that the information and data submitted in this proposal is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. The sample Professional Services Agreement has been reviewed by AMG and is acceptable as-is. If you should have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at (415) 688-0024 or via email at joy@amobility.com. Sincerely, Joy Bhattacharya, PE, PTOE Vice President 415.688.0024 joy@amobility.com Proposal to Provide Professional Services for Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) and Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) Deployment and Project Management | 4 Project Understanding The City of San Rafael has proactively applied for and received IDEA grant funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commissions (MTC) for the deployment of Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) throughout the Central San Rafael area. The IDEA grant would deploy ATSPM on 54 intersections within the City of San Rafael. The ATSPM will enable the City to proactively monitor the health of their signal systems, and thereby improving arterial operations and enhancing safety. Additionally, the City of San Rafael has plans to upgrade the intersections to operate with Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS), which would dynamically adapt the operations of the traffic signal based on traffic volume on the roadway, increasing the overall signal performance and safety throughout the City – starting with the Central San Rafael area. The combination of ATSPM and ATCS will enable the City of San Rafael to proactively manage and operate the City operated traffic signals. MTC is currently seeking consultant assistance to perform the System Engineering (SE) services for the City of San Rafael. MTC does not expect the same level of SE analysis to be needed for the ATSPM project, however, since the City is planning for ATCS in future, it would be in the City’s best interest to prepare a comprehensive SE analysis. Therefore, the City is seeking professional services to assist in the successful execution of the City’s agreement with MTC for IDEA Grant ATSPM deployment and for simultaneous project management of adaptive signal system deployment for the City. AMG staff has prior experience with the development of SE documents for multiple Signal System and Adaptive Signal System projects. With this prior experience and knowledge, AMG staff will assist the City with management of the SE services and City representation through all the stages of development and implementation – beginning with preparation of the SEMP, to the deployment and verification of the ATSPM/ATCS system. The overall schedule for the ATSPM and ATCS project will be mainly governed by the SE process as administered by MTC and influenced by the City’s Controller installation and Fiber implementation projects. AMG is committed to proactive management of the project and strict adherence to the schedule and budget. Proposal to Provide Professional Services for Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) and Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) Deployment and Project Management | 5 To provide project management and oversight services for the project, AMG proposes a detailed working program as outlined in our Approach and Scope of Services. Approach and Scope of Services TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION AMG will provide technical oversight and updates to the City with regards to project status. AMG will maintain regular communications with City staff to ensure that the project goals are being met and progress is being made. This would be provided through regular project management-related tasks including invoicing, budget oversight, adherence to scheduling, and project coordination. AMG staff will attend a kick-off meeting with MTC and the SE consultant at the beginning of the project to establish a mutual understanding of project scope, roles, schedule and deliverables. AMG staff will periodically attend meetings with the City to discuss the project, present design options, review alternatives, and provide recommendations. AMG staff will set up monthly meetings with City staff, and SE consultant if needed, which would continue throughout the expected three-year life span of the project. AMG staff will assist with the procurement and vendor selection support for the project using the “best value” approach, which would make it compulsory for the vendors to satisfy each requirement identified for the system. AMG staff would support the City in the assessment of requirement compliance from each vendor and prepare evaluation criteria to compare submittals from each vendor. AMG staff will help prepare the Request for Proposals (RFP), attend pre-proposal meetings, provide clarifications to vendor’s questions, review submitted bids, and assist in award recommendations. AMG staff will assist with all coordination between the City and the selected vendor for the project deployment. AMG staff will provide deployment oversight support services including attending pre-deployment meetings, provide shop drawing review, review the vendor’s planned system installation and acceptance test procedures, oversee verification tests, document test results, and coordinate between vendors and City staff. AMG staff will provide monthly schedule updates in conjunction with invoice submittals and will assist the City in requests for reimbursement from MTC. Deliverables:  Project schedule and updates  Meeting agendas and minutes for all coordination meetings Proposal to Provide Professional Services for Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) and Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) Deployment and Project Management | 6  Requests for reimbursement forms  RFPs for vendor selection TASK 2: EVALUATION OF EXISTING INVENTORY Understanding the existing traffic signal system, including the types of controllers, detection, communication, and backend software is the key to a successful deployment of an ATSPM/ATCS system. AMG staff will start with the evaluation of the City’s existing inventory, which was prepared by the City as part of the IDEA grant application package. The City is currently using both Aries and Centracs as their traffic signal management software provided by Econolite. Aries is no longer supported by Econolite and therefore cannot support an ATSPM/ATCS system. Currently, of the 54 signals that are included as part of this project, 20 signals are on Centracs, 30 signals are on Aries, and 4 signals are running offline. The 34 signals that are running on Aries and offline are ACS2 or older signals that need to be upgraded to ASC 3 or newer controllers before they can be supported through the Centracs system. The City plans to upgrade the controllers and operate them through the Centracs software. In addition, AMG staff will verify the signal interconnect (communications) between the intersections, types of cabinets, detection and conduit at all the study intersections. In order to have an effective ATSPM or an ATCS implementation, all stop-bar and advanced detection should be separated out by lanes. This information is critical, and AMG staff will verify this information by reviewing the as-built drawings for the study intersection. A thorough review would identify any detection modification that may be needed at the intersections. AMG staff will work closely with the MTC’s SE consultant to identify these modifications as part of the implementation requirements. AMG staff will work with the City to understand projects that are expected to occur simultaneously that would impact the project including; upgraded controllers, and cabinet and fiber installation. AMG staff will coordinate the schedules of those projects and modify the implementation plan if need be for the IDEA grant. Deliverables:  Existing Software and Hardware Evaluation Summary  Coordinate the transfer and addition of the 34 signals to Centracs  Plan for deployment of the City’s in-kind match  Construction schedule and management plan for conduit and fiber optic installation Proposal to Provide Professional Services for Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) and Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) Deployment and Project Management | 7 TASK 3: SYSTEMS ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PLAN (SEMP) MTC’s SE consultant will prepare a Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP), which would identify the items that needs to be delivered, integrated, installed, verified, and supported for the successful implementation of the system. AMG staff will review all findings of the SEMP to identify missing elements that need to be considered to complete the system and also be prepared for the ATCS deployment. AMG staff will assist the City to review the roles and responsibilities for the project and also assist in developing the testing procedures for the project.

Project Experience Pershing Avenue Adaptive Signal System, Stockton, CA (Project Manager) Mr. Bhattacharya is currently completing the design of an adaptive traffic control system at 16 City of Stockton owned intersections along Pershing Avenue between Hammer Lane and Fremont Street. The primary purpose of the adaptive traffic control system is to improve operations and safety by increasing the vehicle capacity of the corridor. The installation of this system requires field equipment upgrades, establishment of system communication, and additional vehicle and transit detection at the intersections along the corridor. The City of Stockton currently uses 2070 controllers with Sepac 3.40 at all the project signalized intersections. Mr. Bhattacharya evaluated the signal system and recommended installation of SCOOT for the Pershing Avenue corridor. The evaluation was based on City’s existing detection system, system requirement, and functionality of the adaptive system as desired by the City. Mr. Bhattacharya completed the design of the signal upgrade needed for the installation of SCOOT along Pershing Avenue. The project was recently awarded for construction and Mr. Bhattacharya will be providing the construction and systems support for the project as well as conduct the “before” and “after” study to evaluate the system. Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) Design for Route 238 Improvements, Hayward, CA (Project Manager) Mr. Bhattacharya managed the evaluation and design of an Advanced Traffic Management System with adaptive coordination capabilities.
