17 <br /> o Example bus stop/station designs or layouts for various transit priority shoulder or lane options <br /> o Example bicycle and pedestrian access improvements to complement bus stop/station designs <br /> o Mobility-as-a-service and single digital ticketing solutions. <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 commercial <br /> probe data to identify bottlenecks and reliability within a given corridor.Volume capacity ratio(v/c)output from the <br /> adopted Triangle Regional Model (TRM) horizon years, supplemented by critical lane analysis at key intersections <br /> where more refined turning movement data are available, will be reviewed to identify projected roadway network <br /> 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 lanes. <br /> This level of analysis will consider all aspects of BRT infrastructure,operations planning,and vehicle needs along with <br /> a transfer location on the RDU property. The Consultant will explore multiple solutions that may include a transfer <br /> between BRT operating on 1-40 and BRT operating on Airport Boulevard or Aviation Parkway or other two seat ride <br /> concepts.The Consultant will prepare a feasibility study for the BRT transfer location at RDU, which could be used <br /> for a reginal transit hub, in addition to serving the airport. This work would include space programing, test fits on <br /> preferred site,workshop to select a concept and NEPA red flag analysis. <br /> The Consultant will prepare and submit one(1)technical memorandum and plans summarizing the feasibility of the <br /> 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 six (6) selected project corridors, envisioned to include <br /> one (1) interstate segment (i.e. Interstate 40 from NC 54 to Wade Avenue) and five (5) arterial segments, <br /> geographically distributed across the study area. The Client may identify more priority corridors during the project <br /> and will work the Consultant will negotiate a contract modification, as needed. The Consultant will prepare and <br /> submit one(1)memorandum that summarize the recommended infrastructure improvements and include the high- <br /> level design concepts. <br /> The Consultant will advance one high-level concept for each of the six (6) selected project corridors through the <br /> NCDOT Express Design and applicable regional planning organization processes.The Consultant will coordinate with <br /> NCDOT and the MPOs for any active or upcoming express designs or other projects that could accelerate the <br /> development of multimodal solutions. The limits, complexity, and deliverables of the express design work will be <br /> through discussions between the Client and Consultant. The Consultant will have a set budget for express design <br /> work;the 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 /> 7 <br />
