Detailed Work Plan
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT & QA /QC
TJKM will schedule and attend a kick -off meeting with City staff to allow for a complete understanding of the project
goals and the City's expectations. See task 2 for details.
Coordination & Communication: Frequent and effective communication between the City, and the TJKM Team is
needed to maintain the project schedule and ensure a quality product. The key to our success is an integrated team
approach. Our goal is "no surprises" and a partnership that has common understanding and expectations every
step of the way. Our proposed Project Manager, Mr. Chris Kinzel, will maintain close communication with the City's
Project Manager by personal contact, telephone, written communications, and meetings. Our project manager
strongly believes in the necessity and benefit of scheduled monthly progress meetings. This will ensure that our "no
surprises" goal is maintained and the City is thoroughly aware of all aspects of the project.
Cost Control: Control of project costs will be accomplished by monitoring on a task level basis, This detailed task
level will roll up into milestone summaries and a project summary, Our cost accounting system is a "live" database
that the project manager can access to determine the financial status of the project at any time. Cost control
reporting to TJKM's Project Manager will be implemented through the invoicing process. Progress reports will also
be included to relay information on project progress and critical issues.
Schedule Control: Establishing a schedule that meets the project objectives is relatively easy. Maintaining this
schedule during changing project priorities, unforeseen conditions, and public consensus building, is the true
challenge. The project work scope will be broken down by function and separated into defined tasks. Tasks will be
linked logically and will be sufficiently detailed to allow for realistic representation of the project. Project progress will
also be monitored by percent complete for each task.
Task 1 Deliverables
✓ Kick -off meeting described below.
✓ Monthly progress reports on schedule and status.
✓ A list of data needed from the City, provided at the kick -off meefing
TASK 2: MEETINGS
TJKM will schedule and attend a kick -off meeting with City staff to allow for a complete understanding of the project
goals and the City's expectations. TJKM will prepare and circulate an agenda in advance of the meeting. We will
also prepare a list of data needs to be discussed at the meeting. At the meeting, we will discuss contact
arrangements, scheduling details, along with communicating and invoicing protocols. TJKM will promptly prepare
and circulate the minutes of the meeting.
TJKM Team will also meet with the City staff to conduct field survey along the study segments. In addition to the
kick -off and field survey meeting TJKM Team will meet /attend following meetings:
• Meet with City staff to present and discuss the results of the study, findings and recommendations.
• TJKM Team will attend the City Council meeting to present the City Ordinance for Speed limits, TJKM Team
will present to the City Council the findings, justifications, and recommendations presented in the ordinance,

TASK 3: DATA COLLECTION
The most crucial component of a speed zone survey is the selection of locations for data collection. The prevailing
speed at the data collection point should be representative of the entire speed zone segment and not too close to
any traffic control device. Our experience in other jurisdictions suggests the following:
• Locations should be situated beyond the influence of stops, dips, curves, parked vehicles, and any other
condition that may affect the normal rate of travel.
• The site should allow for the collection of data to occur without drawing the attention of drivers.
• Short speed zone sections and locations near curves should be avoided.
Speed surveys will be performed with a calibrated hand —held radar gun. Data will be collected from an unmarked
vehicle parked in an inconspicuous location on the roadside. The calibrated radar gun will be checked periodically
with a tuning fork. Only free - flowing vehicles in the traffic stream will be included in the survey to establish normal
speed conditions. Radar data collected in the field will be used to calculate the 50th and 85th percentile speeds, the
10 mph pace speed, the percent of vehicles observed within the 10 mph pace speed, the range of speeds observed
and standard deviation.
In addition, TJKM will collect new volumes counts in each survey segment for use in calculating collision rates and
in evaluating recommended speed limits. As noted in the schedule, TJKM's experience shows that 72 hour counts
are not needed for this project. In our several dozen previous citywide speed surveys, we have never conducted 72
hour counts. As such, we have included an option for 24 counts for the City's consideration.
Speed Data Analysis
TJKM Team proposes to use the following measures to collect reliable data:
• A representative number of speeds will be obtained by radar and recorded at each location. Speed for a
minimum of 100 vehicles per direction will be recorded in up to one hour during non -peak hours. In no case will
the data samples be less than 50 vehicles per approach. The radar survey shall not be performed during peak
hours of 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.
• Free - flowing vehicle speeds will be recorded. If several vehicles are in a platoon, only the speed of the first
vehicle will be recorded.
• TJKM will coordinate with City staff regarding location and prevailing conditions prior to beginning of the data
collection activities.
• Other field data will include reference of cross streets, weather conditions, survey time periods, etc. Special
events, or conditions that could influence speeds, will be noted.
A field check will involve a professional traffic engineer (California- registered Professional Civil Engineer) driving
each street while "floating" with prevailing traffic to determine the speed of traffic from the driver's viewpoint. The
engineer will evaluate the appropriateness of the 85th percentile and will add the perspective of human judgment to
set the appropriate speed limit. The final recommended limit will be determined by such factors as prevailing
speeds and volumes; roadside development; the number and location of driveways; parked vehicles; emergency
shoulder areas; schools and playgrounds; areas frequented by pedestrians; horizontal and vertical alignment of the
roadway, superelevation, intersection spacing; visibility and control; landscaping; and collision history.
Collision History Review & Accident Rate Calculations
Collision history is very important in speed limit establishment, and it is vital to become fully aware of collision
histories, problems, and distributions, The City will furnish TJKM traffic collision information for a five year period.
Mid -block accident rates will be calculated based on the five -year mid -block collision experience and the average
daily traffic volume for each segment. The calculated rates will be compared to average expected collision rates for
Proposal for 2019 Citywide Speed Survey I RFP No. 18- RFP -PW -413
(TJKM AppendixA -2
similar streets within the City and for collision rates for similar roadway segments as summarized in the California
Department of Transportation Accident Data on California State Highways.
The TJKM Team will compile all data including, speed and volume information, collision information, and the results
of the field observations and submit them to City staff.

TASK 4: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS MEMORANDUM
TJKM will compile all data including, speed and volume information, collision information and the results of the field
observations into a Draft Technical Memorandum and submit to City staff for review. The technical memorandum
will include 85th percentile speeds, pace speed, mean speed, average daily traffic, speed related collisions, and
non - apparent conditions, etc, and will also provide recommendations, justifications, regulations and requirements
that will form the basis of the revised ordinance for speed limits within the City of Gilroy. Recommendation on
posted speed limits for each roadway segments will be based on the statistical results of the speed surveys,
accident analysis and the field review of roadside conditions and characteristics.
Upon receipt of comments from City staff, a Final Technical Memorandum will be developed incorporating the
comments received. The Final Technical Memorandum will be submitted to the City.

TASK 5: FINAL FINDINGS REPORT & TRANSMITTAL
The TJKM Team will create a report presenting the complete results of the speed zone survey, including:
• A description of current law as it relates to speed zone establishment and enforcement.
• A discussion of the procedures used in the study, including data collection methodology, definitions of key
terminology, and general philosophy in establishing speed limit recommendations.
• A written statement for each roadway segment explaining the reasons to establish a speed limit.
• Speed data and subsequent analysis of the 85th percentile speeds will be included in a report appendix.
TJKM will submit a Draft Report to the City, including all of our findings and recommendations. We will obtain
comments from the City (minimum two revisions) and will incorporate them into our final document, The Final
Report will be developed after the City Council meeting to incorporate the input received from the City Council.
The TJKM Team will prepare all presentation documents such as but not limited to spreadsheets, maps, and slides
necessary for the presentation to the City Council and as requested by the City Project Manager. The TJKM Team
will also prepare a colored map showing the updated Speed Zones, existing and proposed speed limits. The Speed
Limit Map and data will be provided to the City in City of Gilroy's GIS format formatted to print in letter, 11" x 17" and
24" x 36 ". Based on our experience working on similar projects, we have found that this is an important deliverable
for the City staff to have for easy reference. See our attached sample report showing all material.
The Final Study Report will be provided in binder format and be suitable for filing with the court system. TJKM will
provide the City with bound hard copies and an electronic copy of the completed study report. The TJKM Team will
also prepare transmittal to the Santa Clara County Courts with copies of all City Ordinances and backup information
including the raw data,
