® City of Sunny Isles Beach - RFQ No. 12-04-02-Traffic Engineering &Transportation Consulting organizations, construction plans, and specifications, as well as cost estimating • and project management. • • These items are typically a result of the consulting process, and have a • pronounced impact on the outcome of each individual project. Understanding • the problem that the city is attempting to evaluate is the first step in the performance of any traffic study. Once an understanding is achieved, a • specific scope of services can be developed which selects the proper analytic A tools needed to achieve a thorough and objective examination. Quality data is critical to each analysis, as it determines how reliable and accurate any traffic •• study will be. When reviewing traffic impact analysis; itis important to check all the parameters of the analysis input to make sure analyses are not skewed. ® While traffic engineering studies are extremely technical in nature, their reports • must be written in away that conveys the technical concepts to the audience A that will be reviewing them in an easily understood manner. Corradino's reports ® typically have a highly visual executive summary that is developed primarily for • the easy conveyance. of principals to the citizens and elected officials. The ® body of the report becomes more technical in nature, fleshing out the specific • aspects of the study, and the appendices hold,the data, inputs, outputs, and ® analysis so that ,the conclusions and results ,are checkable and confirmable. ® Because most municipalities are not technical transportation agencies filled with engineers and planners who solely perform and review hard technical data, • Corradino strives to communicate its work to multiple audiences: Coordination • with community organizations is critical in conveying the analysis of • transportation issues. . The natural fear of the unkhown often results in the O immediate rejection of traffic and transportation projects for various reasons like ® the potential diminishment of property values, perceived introduction of crime, ® and perceived safety issues. As Corradino coordinates with community groups, • they are able to objectively address these concerns, show how they are ® impacted, and communicate the facts clearly and concisely. This builds ® credibility for the city and the process so that, as time progresses, each ® subsequent project becomes less controversial. ® Traffic analyses that find problems usually result in the design and construction of • some physical improvement. Corradino has a host of designers who are skilled • at estimating the costs for potential projects, providing designs of roadways, 9 streetscapes, sidewalks and traffic-calming devices. They work to have these • approved by FDOT or Miami-Dade County and then can bid each effort for the ® city to contractors. Subsequently, they can manage the construction of these ® projects as the city's representative. Corradino has managed traffic calming ® rr nn w fnIn 2-2 �..vEX I\A La 1
