10 <br /> o Mobility Hubs,complete streets,TOD opportunities and micromobility solutions as a part of a robust <br /> regional multimodal transportation network especially in relation to already planned BRT corridors <br /> and proposed GoTriangle site in RTP <br /> o Through/regional lane separation options for existing freeways <br /> o Selected tactical transit opportunities for freeways and arterials;e.g.,short busway segments or <br /> linkages <br /> As part of the evaluation,the Consultant will analyze traffic at the corridor level.The Consultant will use <br /> commercial probe data to identify bottlenecks and reliability within a given corridor.Volume capacity ratio(v/c) <br /> output from the adopted Triangle Regional Model (TRM) horizon years,supplemented by critical lane analysis at <br /> key intersections where more refined turning movement data are available,will be reviewed to identify projected <br /> roadway network capacity constraints. <br /> The Consultant will perform a high-level screening of up to four(4)direct BRT linkages to RDU International Airport <br /> from Raleigh, Durham,Chapel Hill,Cary(with the understanding that sections of Chapel Hill and Durham would <br /> potentially run on concurrent routes as would certain sections of Cary and Raleigh),which will link multiple <br /> downtowns to the interconnected transit priority network of dynamic transit priority shoulders and/or express <br /> lanes.This level of analysis will consider all aspects of BRT infrastructure,operations planning,and vehicle needs <br /> along with a transfer location on the RDU property.The Consultant will prepare a feasibility study for the BRT <br /> transfer location at RDU,which could be used for a reginal transit hub, in addition to serving the airport.This work <br /> would include space programing,test fits on preferred site, workshop to select a concept and NEPA red flag <br /> analysis. <br /> The Consultant will prepare and submit one(1)technical memorandum and plans summarizing the feasibility of <br /> the suite of options and potential treatments. <br /> After evaluating the suite of options,the Consultant will recommend infrastructure improvements for the priority <br /> corridors, including the high-level design concepts on up to three(3)selected project corridors,envisioned to <br /> include one(1) interstate segment(i.e. Interstate 40 from NC 54 to Wade Avenue) and two(2)arterial segments. <br /> The Consultant will prepare and submit one(1) memorandum that summarize the recommended infrastructure <br /> improvements and include the high-level design concepts. <br /> The Consultant will advance one high-level concept for each of the three(3) selected project corridors through the <br /> NCDOT Express Design process.The limits,complexity,and deliverables of the express design work will be through <br /> discussions between the Client and Consultant.The Consultant will have a set budget for express design work;the <br /> Client may increase funding for the express design work, as determined necessary. <br /> In addition to the infrastructure improvements for the priority corridors,the Consultant will provide <br /> recommendations for the overall regional network.As part of the overall recommendations,the Consultant will <br /> identify infrastructure improvements that can potentially be integrated with planned/programmed/anticipated <br /> projects(STIP projects,etc.).The Consultant will prepare and submit one(1) memorandum outlining the <br /> recommendations infrastructure improvements for the overall regional network. <br /> Task E Deliverables: <br /> • One(1)technical memorandum and plans summarizing the feasibility of potential treatments <br /> o One(1)draft <br /> o One(1)final <br /> • One(1)memorandum summarizing recommended infrastructure improvements for selected corridors, <br /> including/high-level design concepts for up to three(3)selected project corridors <br /> o One(1)set of draft high-level design concepts <br /> o One(1)draft memorandum of recommended infrastructure improvements <br /> o One(1)set of final set of draft high-level design concepts <br /> 7 <br />
