In response to your 5 June 1988 request, Cashin Associates, P.C. (CA) is pleased to submit the attached proposal fpr Consulting Engineering Services required for the proposed Town of Southold traffic study. The document describes CA' s technical approach to the project and includes our fee proposal for the work. Moreover, it summarizes CA' s corporate qualifications for projects of this nature and it specifies the project team that will be employed on this study. . You will note from the attached that CA is extremely well qualified to perform the Southold study. We have the staff personnel to address all of the related transportation, planning, legal, environmental and socio-economic issues that may arise during the course of the project. CA also has the full array of transportation planning and analytical models required for this study. We have utilized them on comparable studies and they are up and running on our computers. We also have the capability to anaiyze the secondary impacts of traffic congestion such as air pollution and noise. . . From our office in Port Jefferson Station, we are weli located to respond efficiently to the Towns needs. With regard to our fee proposal, it is based on what CA considers to be a reasonable level of effort for a study which encompasses an area of over 4-6 square miles and numerous miles of roadways. A major component of our estimated fee depends on a number of site specific traffic counts that must be performed. At this time, we can only speculate as to their number and location. If they can be reduced because of available data or other factors, the cost of the study can be reduced proportionately. . . 4616 Nesconset Highway Port .Jefferson Station, NY 11776 .

TABLE OF CONTENTS . Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Technical Proposal Cost Proposal Corporate Qualifications Proposed Project Team . . . . . . . . . . SECTION 1 TECHNICAL PROPOSAL Proiect Overview . The purpose of the traffic study contemplated by the Town of Southold is to identify present and future traffic related problems within the Town and to prescribe their solutions. Five required and one optional task have been identified as necessary to accomplish this goal. They have been defined in the Town of Southold's 5 July 1988 Request for Proposal (RFP) to include: . . . Task 1 - Definition of current level of traffic (volume) and its geographical distribution. Task 2 Forecast of traffic volumes and their directional distribution through calendar year 2020. Presently, the study years considered are 1988, 1995, 2005 and 2020. However, the actual study years may be revised once the study is underway. Task 3 - Analysis of the Town's current arterial roadway system vis-a-vis current and projected traffic volumes. These analyses will include volume capacity (V/C), Level of Service (LOS), delay time (T) and accident frequency forecasts. Task 4 Develop recommendations for roadway improvements to mitigate present and projected roadway deficiencies. Task 5 - Inventory extant municipal parking in the hamlet business areas of Mattituck, Cutchogue, Southold and Orient and develop projections of parking needs for those areas for each of the study years. Identify suggested locations for parking facility expansion . . . . . . . and review alternative publ ic and private sector financing for the necessary improvements. Task 6 - Review other issues or projects which the Town may wish to consider. These optional services may include exercise trails and bicycle paths along roadways in the Town. . . In addition to the traffic related impacts identified in the Town's RFP, CA suggests that the study consider the secondary impacts of future traffic. These secondary impacts include, among others, noise and air pollution from increased traffic congestion, and the environmental, social, and economic impacts of proposed roadway, trail and parking lot improvements. . . To complete the Traffic Study, CA will employ its large and experienced staff of transportation planners, urban planners, environmental scientists, civil and environmental engineers and its on-staff legal advisor. CA will also employ its comprehensive array of computer based traffic, noise and air quality models. CA's personnel are fully versed in the use of these models and have utilized them on numerous transportation planning projects. An optional service CA can provide is to supply the Town's planning staff with these computer based tools to analyze the impacts of proposed developments within the Town. Once the models have been calibrated for the conditions unique to the Town of Southold, CA can install the necessary software in the Town's computers. CA can also train Town personnel on their use. Ready access to these "state-of- the-art" transportation planning models will assist the Town in . . . . . . identifying the potential impacts of proposed projects in a timely and cost effective manner. . The following description summarizes CA's approach to each study task. . Task 1 . . CA will describe current traffic volumes and the directional distribution on the Town's major roadways and ferry terminals. As a first step, CA will gather all relevant traffic statistics from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the Suffol k County Department of Public Works (SCDPW), the Suffolk County Department of Planning, the Town of Southold Department of Planning, the Town of Southold Highway Department and the respective ferry service companies. Once these data are assimulated, CA will identify areas which require additional data support. . . . Summer and harvest season tourism constitutes a major segment of the Town of Southold's economy. Accordingly, traffic patterns undergo significant seasonal fluctuation. For planning purposes, predictions of future off-season traffic volumes can be reasonably made by use of demographic and land use parameters. During the anomalous seasons, when traffic volumes are not directly related to resident population, field studies are necessary to describe volume and geographic distribution. To ensure the veracity of the study findings, CA strongly suggests that traffic data be obtained during . . . . . the peak traffi c seasons. Duri ng the develop traffic vol ume data at several calibrate traffic model outputs. non-peak seasons, CA wi 11 locations to confirm and . Once the available data is compiled, CA will conduct synoptic machine counts, turning movement counts, and vehicle classification counts at selected roadways and intersections. Based upon our preliminary evaluation, CA suggests that seven day, 24 hour machine counts be developed at the locations listed below. . . 1. RiverheadjSouthold townline - Sound Avenue 2 . RiverheadjSouthold townline - Main Street (SR 25) 3 . RiverheadjSouthold townline - Peconic Bay Boulevard 4 . Middle Road (CR 27) - west of Depot Lane 5 . Main Street (SR 25) - east of Skunk Lane 6. Middle Road (CR 27) - west of Peconic Lane 7. Main Road (SR 25) - west of Moore Lane 8. Sound View Avenue (CR 48) - west of Moore Lane 9 . Main Road (SR 25) - east of Main Street 10. Main Road (SR 25) - west of Orient Beach Park entrance . . . . Machine traffic counts are performed by use of mechanical devices which can count directional traffic volumes at a particular location for a long period of time. The data obtained are used as input to the traffic planning and analysis models to estimate LOS, VjC ratios and travel delay times. The listing of actual locations to be . . . measured will be finalized with Town officials once all the available data is analyzed. These additional locations may include: . ~ r./bVJ'o;~ ~ New Suffolk Avenue - between Linden Boulevard and 5th Street 1. 2. Main Street (SR 25) - west of Linden Avenue . 3. Oregon Road - west of Depot Lane . 4. Main Street (SR 25) - west of Eugene Road 5. Bayview Road - south of Pine Neck Road 6. Sound View Avenue (CR 48) - west of Kenny Road 7. Middle Road (CR 27) - west of Sound View Avenue (CR 48) . CA prel iminarily proposes to conduct turning movement counts and vehicle classification counts at the following intersections: . 1. Main Road at Sound Avenue and Love Lane Wd",,-- ft-- p~~ B=r BYJd. 2 . Main Road at Skunk Lane ~~.A-v<. . 3. Main Road at Ackerly Pond Road o,vth 2/-. u . 4 . Middle Road at Youngs Avenue M~ f:z,,,.t~ ~ <bMs~ A "* ~ (2cc...,l . These studies identify the volume and directional split of trafic at an intersection during critical and peak volume periods. These peak periods include the morning commuter peak, the evening commuter . peak, and the peak periods during the weekend when recreational trips and shopping trips are dominant. These data are also used in the various computer models to calculate traffic flow and delay parameters. The actual locations to be studied will be finalized . . . with the Town once all existing data is analyzed. These additional locations may include: . . l. Sound Avenue at Middle Road 2 . Main Road at New Suffolk Avenue / 3. Middle Road at New Middle Road and Wickham Avenue ~ 4. Main Road at Budge Lane ? , 5. Main Road at Peconic Lane ./' 6. Main Road at Corwin Lane, Pine Neck Road and Bayview Road v 7. Main Road at Youngs Avenue ./ 8 . Main Road at Main Street ,/ . . For the purposes of the cost proposal, CA has assumed that machine traffic counts will be conducted at 10 locations and turning . movement counts at 4 locations. Other locations can be added as optional services if desired by the Town. . CA will conduct travel time surveys on selected roadway links during peak and normal traffic volume periods. This survey consists of timing the length of time required for a vehicle to traverse a link . of roadway segments. The specific links to be studied in this fashion will be determined after the other data cited above is . gathered. For the purpose of this proposal, CA estimates that time of travel surveys will be conducted at various locations throughout the Town. . . . . In developing the basic data for the study, CA will contact the Greenport and Orient Point Ferry Companies to obtain statistics on the volume and type of vehicles that use the service daily, seasonally and annually. CA will also obtain available information . on projected changes in servi ce. traffic forecasting models. These data will be used in the . Although not mentioned in the RFP, CA suggests that data and projections be obtained from the Long Island Railroad and Suffolk County Transit regarding current and future passenger volumes. These mass transportation systems could have an appreciable impact on future seasonal traffic volumes and should be included in the ~ . study, if it is to be comprehensive. The data rel ated to these . modes of transportation will also be used in the forecasting models. At the conclusion of Task 1, the data required to describe the current traffic volumes and its directional distribution will have . been gathered. Task 2 . . Once the necessary data has been gathered, CA will employ both manual and computer based modeling techniques to forecast the traffic volumes and its study years. At present, directional distribution the study years are 1~ for each of the ? . 1990, 1995, 2005 . and 2020. The study years may be revised after discussion with the . . / . Town Board. For example, study years 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020 might be a more useful temporal distribution. . The principal model CA will employ for this task is entitled; "The 1988 Quick Response System Regional Transportation Planning Model", (QRS). Based on present and future population and land use information to be supplied by the Town, the model will assist CA in defining area specific trip generation rates and totals, directional distribution of traffic volumes, modal splits and traffic-transit trip assignments. These data will be developed for each of the study years. For the purpose of this proposal, CA has assumed that the Town will provide all estimates of future population and land use for the Town as a whole and in the hamlet districts. . . . Task 3 . Based on the projected volumes and the directional distribution of traffic for the respective study years developed under Task 2, CA will analyze the Town's arterial roadway networks abil ity to handle current and projected traffi c vol urnes. CA wi 11 employ both manual and computer model i ng techn i ques to perform these funct ions. The principal models employed for this task will be the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Model and the Federal Highway Administration 1985 Highway Capacity Manual Model. The former will be used to estimate the traffic generated from major traffic generators and the attractors. The latter model will be used to estimate the V/C ratios, LOS and travel delay times (T) for . . . . . major intersections and arterial links for each of the study years. The increase in accident rates and accident events at critical . locations will be forecast by use of manual stocastic methodologies. If requested by the Town, CA will evaluate the increases in air and noise pollution due to traffic by use of its computer and manual . models. These models include Caline 3 and Optima II for traffic related air and noise pollution, respectively. . Task 4 . . Based on Task 3 outputs, a 1 isting of roadway improvements will be developed for each of the planning intervals. The purpose of these improvements is to mitigate existing congestion as well as traffic related problems forecast for the future. CA will also provide cost estimates and cost benefit analyses for each of the identified improvements. CA will obtain large scale 1":400' aerial . photographics of the Town's major roadways for use in this improvement planning. ~~ Il/~~'~ cW~- . Task 5 . Under this task CA will evaluate the municipal parking needs for each of the Town's hamlet districts. The existing facilities will be inventoried by use of aerial photographs and on-site inspections. Forecasts of future needs will be based on the ITE Parking . Generat i on Handbook. CA will identify areas for future parking . . . facility expansion based on the identified need for additional parking, minimization of adverse environmental impacts and minimization of social and economic disruption. Preliminary cost estimates of the improvements will be developed and alternative means of financing and operating the facilities will be discussed. CA's in-house attorney and economist will assist the study team for this facet of the project. CA's in-house attorney has extensive experience with both private and municipal financing scenarios for public projects. . . Task 6 . . As an optional service, CA will consider other issues or projects identified by the Town. These may include bicycle paths and exercise trails along major Town roadways, identification of means to enhance mass transit within the Town, and instruction of Town personnel on the use of computer based transportation planning models. . . The findings and conclusions of the above work tasks will be summarized in a traffic engineering report. The report will first be submitted to the Town in draft form for review and comment. Based on the Town's review, a final report will be prepared and submitted. It is expected that this study will take six months to complete. . . . . SECTION 2 COST PROPOSAL . . As compensation for the transportation planning and engineering services rendered, CA proposes to invoice the Town of Southold at a rate of 2.5 times the payroll costs of the individual employees actually employed on the project plus direct out-of-pocket expenses. Payroll costs incl ude the di rect sal ary paid to an employee pl us statuatory and discretionary fringe benefits. Out-of-pocket expenses i ncl ude the cost of such i terns as aeri al photographs, travel, lodging, meals, and machine counter rentals. . . .
