Page 197CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH • RFQ #26-07-01 • CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) TAB 4 | APPROACH/METHODOLOGY program approved by the City engineer and generally recognized and accepted in the field of transportation engineering. The analysis on FDOT roadways shall be the FDOT analysis methodology. The level-of-service analysis shall be summarized in a table. The initial roadway level-of-service analysis should compare the peak-hour segment traffic volume with the service volume in the FDOT Generalized Service Volume Table for the facility’s minimum LOS standard. The peak-hour service volume will be determined using the generalized peak-hour volumes and two-way tables from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) 2023 Quality/Multimodal Level of Service Handbook. When using these tables, the following information shall be provided for each facility: • Type of roadway (interrupted or uninterrupted)• Maintenance jurisdiction (city, county, or state-maintained)• Area type (Urban, Rural, Transition)• Posted speed• Arterial Class• LOS standard The City of Sunny Isles Beach Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan specifies the level-of-service criteria that must be met. Pursuant to Florida Statutes 163.3180 (10), the City of Sunny Isles Beach is permitted to set level of service standards for State-maintained roadways that are not on the Florida Interstate Highway System or the Strategic Intermodal System. Site Circulation Analysis and Off-Site Turn Lane Analysis Corradino will provide a narrative on site access and circulation for all projects, with a focus on larger-scale developments. This narrative will address potential conflicts related to driveways and turning movements, site circulation and queuing, and the impact on adjacent thoroughfare intersections. Corradino will assess the development’s site access and on-site circulation, using the total number of trips generated by the proposed development to determine if on-site queuing is sufficient. This assessment will also evaluate the need for auxiliary lanes, where appropriate, as well as the potential for signalization or roundabout alternatives. The development shall construct driveways consistent with the design criteria outlined in the City of Sunny Isles Beach Land Development Code. The Intersection Capacity Analysis will also evaluate the adequacy of turn-lane storage at key turn lanes in the study area and at the project limits. Multimodal Considerations The growing number of mobility choices requires attention to the use of the boundary between the public right-of-way and private parcels, also known as “curb management.” When designing the site, the following multimodal recommendations should be considered, and their applicability should be discussed with the City during the methodology development.
