requirements contracts for engineering design and related services ...

2. MPT, for the purposes of this contract shall refer to, include and address all pedestrian traffic within and crossing the
site, all modes of vehicular traffic within and crossing the site, and access and egress for all properties fronting and/or
affected by the proposed construction work.
3. At the appropriate stage in the development of the Composite Contract Documents and/or as accepted in the design
work schedule or as otherwise directed by the Commissioner, the Consultant shall initiate the MPT planning activity.
4. The Consultant shall develop a "Specific MPT Plan", which shall be specific to the site and specific to the site
properties. The plan shall provide, where appropriate, for construction work to be advanced concurrently in subsections of
the project to allow for accelerated completion of the work.
5. The Consultant shall examine various MPT strategies for portions and/or all of the project street(s) including but not
limited to proposals for street closures, full or partial detour(s), one-way street conversions or other appropriate MPT
staging techniques.
6. The Consultant shall familiarize him/herself regarding the operation, activity and intensity of traffic within the project
site on a block by block and zone of influence basis, and shall identify, analyze, study and address and/or mitigate issues
including, but not limited to, the following: main line traffic volumes; intersecting street(s) traffic volumes; turning
movements; vehicular classifications {cars, trucks, buses, railroad(s)}, curbside activity (loading and unloading); parking
requirements; planned special events (parades, street fair(s), marathon); special traffic generators (hospitals, police
stations, large parking garages or areas); public or private institutional properties; manufacturing/warehousing facilities,
supermarkets, fire stations, government buildings, parks, schools, subway stations; intense traffic generators (all types of
commercial, manufacturing, warehousing establishments); other current or planned construction projects within the zone of
influence; and all sources of pedestrian activity.
7. The Consultant shall develop the MPT plan generally in three stages - as follows:
A. STAGE 1 - CONCEPTUAL MPT PLAN. In this stage the Consultant shall:
a) Conceptualize the overall MPT strategy and, more specifically, conceptualize subdividing the project for
concurrent staging of the work where applicable, and the staging of each category of the proposed construction
work (such as sewer lining, sewer reconstruction, catch basin/inlet installation and basin/inlet connections, water
mains - 12, 20, 36, 48 inch, installation of hydrants, curb construction, sidewalk construction, roadway base
construction, and laying roadway wearing course);
b) Meet with and present his/her conceptual scheme to the Commissioner including presentation of the rationale
for pursuing the selected MPT strategy based on the information, analysis and issues identified above. The
presentation shall include graphics, which shall be suitable and adequate to demonstrate/represent the conceptual
scheme(s);
c) Upon receipt of general concurrence from the Commissioner or direction to pursue additional alternative(s) the
Consultant shall proceed with Stage II of the MPT development.
B. STAGE II - PRELIMINARY MPT DEVELOPMENT. In this stage the Consultant shall:
a) Respond to the questions and concerns raised during the Conceptual MPT planning strategy session and
develop the MPT proposals to a preliminary level of detail for each stage of construction work (such as but not
limited to sewer lining, sewer reconstruction, catch basin/inlet installation and basin/inlet connections, water mains -
12, 20, 36, 48 inch, installation of hydrants, curb construction, sidewalk construction, roadway base construction,
and laying roadway wearing course);
b) Develop and provide graphics and notes to specifically describe the proposed MPT plans for each category of
construction work. For this presentation the Consultant may be permitted to use 8 1/2 by 11 or 8 1/2 by 14 inch
sheet sizes, as an alternative to the standard contract drawing sheet size, with hand drawn sketches provided that
the graphics are of a professional quality and acceptable to the City;
