Subject: Las Gallinas I Manuel T. Freitas Parkway Intersection Controller Scope of Work
Dear Hunter,
This letter includes the scope of work and budget to complete transportation engineering support
for the Las Gallinas Avenue / Manuel T. Freitas Parkway Intersection Improvement Project in the
City of San Rafael. Specifically, based on our conversation, we have prepared a scope of work and
budget to assist the City in programming the new traffic signal controller at the Las Gallinas Avenue
/ Manuel T. Freitas Parkway intersection.
Scope of Work
Task 1: Develop Timing Sheets
In this task, Fehr & Peers will use the existing Synchro traffic operations model to develop base
timings for non-coordinated periods, and will also develop AM and PM peak period phase splits
and offsets. The AM and PM peak period intersection splits will be based on data collected in 2014 ,
and will assume that the cycle length for the group of intersections will stay the same. Timing
parameters will include base timing, preemption and time-of-day plans . Clearance intervals will be
based on posted speed and CAMUTCD policies on clearance intervals for cyclists and pedestrians .
We will present our recommendations to the City for review . Once reviewed and accepted we will
prepare the controller for deployment.
Task 2: Controller Test & Download
Using Econolite 's Virtual Controller, we will use the signal timings developed in Task 1 to test and
adjust signal timings. This is to ensure no software faults are detected based on clearance intervals .
Once tested, Fehr & Peers will install timings, to the extent possible, into the controller. Please note
Fehr & Peers does not have a testing facility or cabinet; we cannot test the controller in a cabinet

environment to see the interaction between the controller and detector inputs and outputs. We
assume that we will take the controller and test at our office, unless the City prefers completing
testing at the City offices. We assume that the City will have a Cobalt controller ready for testing
and download upon receipt of a signed contract.
Task 3: Controller Implementation
Once the signal timings are tested, Fehr & Peers will coordinate controller implementation with the
City of San Rafael at the Las Gallinas Avenue / Manuel T. Freitas Parkway intersection. We assume
up to 8 hours for the initial controller turn on and fine-tuning timings under the initial turn on.
Additionally, we have assumed an additional 8 hours (16 hours total) for subsequent meetings and
signal timing adjustments.
Schedule & Budget
Due to the holiday schedule, we assume we will have a signal controller ready for field
implementation (Task 3) within four weeks of a fully executed contract. We will perform the above
work for a fee not to exceed $8,600. We will begin work upon receipt of a written notice to proceed;
however, we will not complete Task 3, without a fully executed contract. Additional services outside
of this agreement, such as additional submittals, would require an additional scope of work revision
and budget augmentation. If the terms of this scope of work and budget are agreeable to you ,
please issue us a contract for review and signature. Please contact Sarah with questions or if you
need additional information. We look forward to continue working with you on this project.
