Q. PRELIMINARY SUBMITTAL
Four (4) sets of preliminary black and white prints of the legend sheet, Clean Base Map, Topographical Plan, Utility
Plan and Profile, Highway Profiles, and Survey Control drawings including all traverse/baseline (and undeveloped
area baseline, if applicable) drawings (Stamped Preliminary in RED), shall be submitted to the Commissioner for
approval. Included with the preliminary drawings all deliverables, as described in section “P”, shall be submitted
along with dated transmittal letter. The transmittal shall be referenced to all job naming conventions such as: Project
FMS ID. number, Project name, Contract FMS ID. number, and Contract Borough.
A sample color print of a drawing, selected by The Commissioner, in 3-D format shall be included in the Preliminary
submittal.
R. FINAL SUBMITTAL
Upon acceptance of the preliminary Clean Base Map, Topographical Plan, Utility Plan and Profile, Highway Profiles,
and Survey Control drawings, the Consultant shall hand deliver to Commissioner, the following:
1. A complete set of the plotted legend sheet, Clean Base Map, Topographical Plan, Utility Plan and Profile,
Highway Profiles, and Survey Control drawings including all traverse/baseline (and undeveloped area baseline, if
applicable) drawings, in ink, on reproducible drafting film (mylar, 4 mil) with original signature and seal of approved
New York State Licensed Land Surveyor.
2. Two (2) sets of paper prints of the plotted Clean Base Map, Topographical Plan, Utility Plan and Profile,
Highway Profiles, and Survey Control drawings including all traverse/baseline (and undeveloped area baseline, if
applicable) drawings with original signature and seal of approved New York State Licensed Land Surveyor.
3. All electronic data and drawing files for the Final drawings and the survey Control Traverse, Topographic
Survey in the required formats (AutoCAD 2010 or latest edition, ASCII and 3-D).
4.3 TRAFFIC STUDY PROGRAM
1. Under this task the Consultant shall develop a Traffic Study Program to incorporate the traffic data and analyses
requirements of all other tasks included in the Specific Requirements of this Contract, and to supplement any available
traffic data and analyses as necessary. Traffic data collection and analysis shall follow the guidelines provided in Exhibit 1
of Appendix III of NYCDDC Design Guidelines and Directives. The Consultant shall:
a) Review available traffic/transit data and/or analyses conducted within the last three years (including Automatic
Traffic Recorder (ATR) counts, manual turning movement (TM)/vehicle classification (VC) counts,
pedestrian/bicycle counts, transit information, travel time and delay runs, physical inventory of study location(s)
and corridor(s), official and field verified signal timing, vehicular and pedestrian Levels of Service (LOS) analyses,
accident data and analyses, etc.) and determine the adequacy of and need to update such data and analyses to
meet the requirements of this Design program.
b) Identify, utilizing the project limits as the traffic study area, the locations and types of data to be collected
including the number of additional Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) counts, TM/VC counts, pedestrian/bicycle
counts, etc. ATR counts shall be taken at all major street approaches for nine consecutive days (including two
weekends) and summarized in 15-minute increments. ATR counts shall be collected and summarized in approved
state (NYSDOT) and city (NYCDOT) formats.
c) Conduct TMC and pedestrian/bicycle counts at all signalized and unsignalized intersections, and locations that
exhibit operational and safety concerns for the AM, midday, PM peak periods during typical midweek days
(Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday) as well as on weekends (Saturday/Sunday), if deemed necessary.
TMC counts shall be collected concurrently with the ATR counts and should be summarized in 15-minute
increments.
d) Perform vehicle classification counts, concurrently with the TMC, and summarized in 15-minute increments for
each peak period to estimate heavy vehicle percentages for intersection levels of service (LOS) analyses, and to
identify number of axles needed for pavement design.
