<br />Districtwide Safety Contract, FDOT District Six Traffic Operations Office, Miami -Dade & Monroe
<br />Counties, Florida. Mr. Spinks performed multiple traffic engineering studies including: Qualitative
<br />Assessments, Intersection Analysis, Left Turn Warrants, Signal Warrants, Arterial Analysis, Corridor
<br />Evaluations, Travel Time and Delay Studies.
<br />General Planning Consultant - Systems, Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. / FDOT District Four,
<br />Districtwide, Florida. Mr. Spinks served as a transportation planner on this on -call services consultant
<br />contract. Assignments include project traffic forecasts (travel demand), GIS support, and miscellaneous on-
<br />site planning support services.
<br />Districtwide ITS Technical Consultant, VHB, Inc. /FDOT District VI, Miami -Dade & Monroe Counties,
<br />Florida. Mr. Spinks served as a project engineer on this on -call services consultant contract. Assignments
<br />include formation of a regional ITS coalition, development of a regional database and GIS mapping of
<br />current and planned ITS deployment in the Palm Beach, Broward, Miami -Dade and Monroe Counties.
<br />SR- 5 /US -1 at SW 32 Avenue Intersection Analysis, FDOT District VI, Miami, Florida. Mr. Spinks served
<br />as Project Engineer for this study for the Traffic Operations Office. This study performed an assessment of
<br />traffic operations and safety at the signalized intersection including a left turn warrant analysis and
<br />queuing analysis. This study was a result of a citizen request to include a left -turn protected phase for the
<br />SW 32 Avenue approaches to alleviate significant delays experienced by the left turning vehicles from that
<br />street. This study included field observations, crash review, delay studies, traffic data collection and
<br />development of condition and collision diagrams.
<br />SW 8 Street from SW 137 Avenue to SW 127tAvenue Traffic Control Plan (TCP) Traffic Analysis,
<br />FDOT District VI, Miami, Florida. Mr. Spinks was the Project Engineer for this study conducted for the
<br />Traffic Operations Office which involved an operational analysis and review of the traffic control plan. He
<br />performed traffic analysis to evaluate the existing TCP and tested modified TCP options for the SW 8 Street
<br />construction zone. He used Synchro /SimTraffic micro - simulation so that the visual animation output could
<br />be presented to the public. This study involved field review, traffic data collection, travel time and delay
<br />studies, performing traffic operational analysis, and developing options.
<br />SR- 826/NW 154 Street Interchange Area Traffic Study, FDOT District VI, Miami Lakes, Florida. Mr.
<br />Spinks was the Project Engineer for the traffic operations study for one of the most congested interchange
<br />areas in Miami -Dade County. This study involved field observations, traffic data collection, traffic
<br />operational analysis, development and evaluation of improvement alternatives, preliminary engineering,
<br />preliminary cost estimates, trip generation, micro - simulation and operational benefit -cost analysis were
<br />performed as part of the study. Performed a traffic operational analysis to evaluate existing and proposed
<br />conditions for SR- 826/NW 154 Street interchange. The improvement concept, estimated at $4 million,
<br />includes the addition of turn lanes, widening of NW 154 Street, NW 77 Court, and the SR -826 southbound
<br />on -ramp. Through micro - simulation analysis, the proposed improvements were found to reduce the
<br />average delay per vehicle by as much as 48 percent during the peak hours.
<br />HEFT /SR -874 Project Development and Environment (PD &E) Study from US -1 /Government Center
<br />to SR -874, Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, Miami -Dade County, Florida. As Task Engineer, Mr. Spinks
<br />assisted in the evaluation for this six and one -half mile PD &E study through the most heavily traveled
<br />segment of Florida's Turnpike. This project examined widening the HEFT and modifying the SR -874
<br />interchange to address capacity and operational safety needs. Task assignee on activities related to PER,
<br />SEIR, and public hearings.
