on time,within budget,and in a manner that meets all the requirements of the agency for which the work
was completed,while at the same time placing minimal time and effort requirements on agency staff.The
AGA Team possesses all of the necessary qualifications and skills required to successfully provide the as-
needed services listed in the RFP. It is always our goal to deliver projects that improve traffic operations,
public safety, and the quality of life for residents and visitors.The following are typical traffic engineering
services which AGA commonly provides to our municipal clients.
Traffic Engineering Studies
AGA staff have the experience to develop specific circulation plans, general circulation plans, and
coordination of these plans with those developed by metropolitan planning organizations.
Recommendations from study efforts can provide input for development of a city's CIP projects. Some
examples of the various types of studies we have completed for our clients include:
Intersection Control Studies
AGA Team members have conducted hundreds of studies for the installation of traffic control devices.
Such studies include traffic signal warrant analyses,traffic signal priority lists, pedestrian crossings, multi-
stop application studies, and left-turn studies. The purpose of these studies is to evaluate the most
appropriate control for the intersection in question.
Multi-Way Stop Warrant Analysis
The AGA Team is very familiar with the multi-way stop control warrant analysis. The AGA Team has
conducted numerous multi-way stop control analyses throughout the years using the CA MUTCD Multi-
Way Stop Application. Typically, the collisions at the intersection are reviewed and traffic counts are
conducted and evaluated. For many studies, the number of collisions and side street traffic volumes are
less than the requirements and therefore the warrant is not satisfied. However,many of the requests that
an agency receives for all-way stop control are mainly due to sight-distance concerns.
Per direction from the City,the multi-way stop control analyses could also include a sight distance analysis.
The sight distance analysis can either involve stopping sight distance or corner sight distance analysis.The
sight distance analysis might recommend parking restrictions to alleviate any issues regarding sight
distance. For any traffic warrant control analysis, a field review of the intersection/area is very important.
Understanding traffic patterns and roadway layout/conditions are important and we recognize that often
any obstructions that could interfere with sight distance may not show up in the data collected for the
study.AGA is also well aware of the new California Assembly Bill 413 and how the new law can impact on-
street parking and if on-street parking can be reassessed to limit the number of parking spaces removed
due to the bill.
Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
AGA has conducted many traffic signal warrant analyses and studies for agencies throughout Southern
California. The analysis utilized the CA MUTCD guidelines for Studies and Factors for Justifying Traffic
Control Signals (Section 4C.01) and all nine warrants, where applicable. AGA collects and carefully

eoiam
evaluates the count and collision data. Many times, right turning vehicles can be discounted from the
count data as vehicles turning right from the side street have adequate gaps in the main street traffic. For
the collision assessment, AGA may also need to review the police report to determine the exact cause of
an accident.
Along with conducting traffic counts and assessing the traffic collisions, AGA will also evaluate the total
delay of an approach during the peak hour.AGA could evaluate the delays using the traffic counts and the
Highway Capacity Manual methodology to determine the average delay of a vehicle or conduct traffic
delay surveys to assess the delays for each vehicle. If only vehicle delays are the criteria that is satisfied
for traffic signal control, AGA will also evaluate what the side street delays would be with a traffic signal.
If the proposed traffic signal is to be synchronized with existing signal coordination along a corridor, the
side street delay could be actually higher with the traffic signal due to the traffic signal coordination.
One study that the AGA Team evaluated for traffic signal control,showed that with the existing two-way
stop control,the side street vehicles had morning and evening delays ranging from 19-36 seconds. If the
intersection were to be signalized and part of the traffic signal coordination system (110 second cycle
length), the side street delays could be in the 70-90 second range. Therefore, the installation of a traffic
signal would cause even further delays than existing conditions. If collisions or sight distance is of concern,
a sight distance analysis will also be evaluated. In lieu of a traffic signal due to sight distance, parking
restrictions could be recommended.This is a more cost-effective solution than a traffic signal.
If a traffic signal is determined to be warranted, then an operational analysis will be conducted to
determine the traffic signal phasing and operation (protected left turn phasing, split phase, pedestrian
crossings, etc.). A cost estimate will then be conducted. Similar to the multi-way stop control analysis, a
field review will be conducted to provide a better understanding of the intersection. A brief report
summarizing the engineering analysis—both quantitative and qualitative—and providing
recommendations as to the most appropriate traffic control measure for the intersection will be prepared
and submitted to the city.
Engineering and Traffic Surveys
The objective of Engineering and Traffic Surveys is to review the existing speed limits and recommend
changes to the speed limits (increase or decrease) in accordance with the requirements of the latest
edition Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC). The purpose of these surveys is to provide
sufficient information to document that the conditions of Section 627 have been satisfied and that other
conditions not readily apparent to a motorist are properly identified.The recently adopted Assembly Bill
No.43 (AB43) amended and added sections to the CVC related to traffic safety and speed limits.
AGA staff have completed speed survey projects for the following cities: Buena Park,Burbank,Costa Mesa,
Gardena, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Laguna Niguel, Redondo Beach, Santa Ana, Santa Clarita, Seal
Beach,Tustin,Westminster,Whittier and Yorba Linda.
Safety Studies
The AGA Team has conducted numerous traffic safety studies from large citywide studies such as Systemic
Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) and Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP),to corridor safety studies,
intersection safety studies and school safety-circulation studies. Each study involves a full field review of
the site and a review of the accident history. The study could be for all modes of transportation such as
Engineers,ina.

vehicles and trucks, pedestrians, bicyclists and/or transit. Our recommendations for all studies will be
summarized in a Memorandum which is submitted to the city for review.
For an intersection analysis,the collisions will be assessed to determine if a traffic collision pattern
exists, the sight distance analyzed, determine the proper intersection traffic control or traffic
signal phasing/operation, and review of signage and striping. If the intersection is signalized,
review of the traffic signal timing (local signal timing parameters and traffic signal coordination
timing plans) is critical.

Sample Intersection Collision Assessment
For street segments, evaluate the signing and striping, especially lane merging/transitions and
areas with horizontal/vertical curvatures.
For school areas, it is important to coordinate with school staff, the school district and crossing
guards.AGA will evaluate the circulation of traffic(vehicles,pedestrians and buses)both internally
within the school parking lot and externally around the school.
An example from the City of La Habra is a School Safety Circulation Study.AGA staff worked with the city,
the La Habra City School District, and Walnut Elementary School to design a new circulation plan to
alleviate excessive vehicle queuing. The queue would often extend from the school to Walnut Street and
vehicles travelling along Walnut Street would w
then need to drive on the opposite side of the
street to avoid the waiting queue. We assisted II-
with the design of the new parking lot, helped i Et E r',
develop school staff duties for pickup/drop off, I c._ iil
coordinated with the crossing guards, and Ire I 1
developed the bulb-out crossing on Walnut
J
Street. During implementation of the plan, AGA
worked with the school's principal providing w
assistance to improve internal traffic flow and
additional recommendations.

Trip Generation Studies/Traffic Modeling
Given the potential for growth via commercial redevelopment in the City, assessment of the scope and
timing of traffic infrastructure improvements to adequately serve this increased traffic demand is an
ongoing issue. Short term traffic operational analysis can be combined with long term (10 to 20 years)
planning data to evaluate and monitor the impact of urban growth in a dynamic way. For the long-term
planning analysis, AGA will coordinate with Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to
develop the future traffic volumes. Such analyses are critical for conducting feasibility studies and traffic
impact studies/analyses, and for developing traffic impact sections of EIRs and EISs.

One way to address potential growth in a successfully proactive manner was developed and implemented
by the AGA Team in the City of Fullerton. Based on the General Plan build-out conditions,we determined
the ultimate transportation infrastructure needs. In effect, a Citywide Traffic Impact Analysis was
developed,including calculation of overall costs to construct the required improvements.As development
projects were proposed,AGA conducted individual Traffic Impact Analyses to more definitively determine
the appropriate scheduling for implementation of such
improvements. This traffic modeling and monitoring ,, N \ f vS

Traffic Design Plans
AGA staff have developed and reviewed numerous traffic signal designs,traffic control plans,signing and
striping plans, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) plans, and communication plans for a large number
of agencies. While completing traffic signal designs,our staff not only looks at the specific improvements
identified but also conduct inventories of all the traffic signal components which may need to be modified
or upgraded. Our experience with designing traffic signals, and our drive to keep up with the latest
requirements of Californiva Manual on Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), Caltrans Standards, and the
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Greenbook allows us to
provide a comprehensive design for successful completion of a project. AGA staff are also up to date with
current ADA requirements. Design activities consist of determining all aspects of right-of-way
requirements for street improvements including providing raised median configurations, left and right
turn pocket lengths, speed-controlled transitions, lane drops, etc.
Signing and Striping Plans
The AGA Team has prepared signing and striping plans for many of our client cities. Tasks involve
conducting a field review to evaluate existing conditions then preparing a 40-scale drawing showing both
existing and proposed signing and striping. Modifications might include dual left turn lanes, cat-tracking
through the intersection for left turns, removal of a crosswalk, green conflict zones for bicyclists, etc.

Review Standard Details
AGA strives to keep up to date with the latest state and federal standards to ensure all requirements are
being met when completing traffic-related designs.AGA's extensive experience working with a multitude
of agencies throughout Southern California has allowed our team to review and work with various
standard drawings. Throughout the years we have seen several updates to standard drawings such as
revised curb ramp design standards (8.33%vs.7.5%slopes), updates to traffic signal pole and foundation
dimensions, etc. This experience will be valuable in assisting a city with the development of its own
standard drawings.
When developing standard plans, it is important that all applicable state and federal standards, such as
the CA MUTCD,Caltrans Standard Plans and Revised Standard Plans,Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)
Standards,and the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction,to name a few, be considered to ensure
a city is in compliance with all mandated requirements.
Traffic Control Plans
AGA staff have extensive experience with both developing and reviewing traffic control plans,and we fully
comprehend the details found in the WATCHBOOK. Our Engineers don't just review such plans from a
technical perspective but also consider the context in which the lane and street closures are to be
implemented,as well as the traffic characteristics and patterns in the area. Routinely,such reviews involve
a site visit to ensure that the design considers all aspects of transportation including pedestrians,
bicyclists,transit, motorists,traffic signals, land use, private property access, etc.
ITS Design Plans
The purpose of the projects was to develop a signal coordination plan to optimize traffic flow and travel
conditions, including the timing plan development, implementation, fine-tuning, and monitoring. The
projects consisted of preparation of traffic signal modification plans and traffic signal communication
plans for installation of new fiber optic communication ITS systems including CCTV cameras, video
detection systems, which were integrated with the respective Traffic Management Centers.
The AGA team has vast experience designing,
implementing and operating multijurisdictional traffic fA
signal synchronization projects throughout Southern Vatimmemoi
California including Orange County (see map). A partial Wadi

Grant Funding Preparation and Administration
Grant Funding Needs Analysis
AGA will work with City staff to review grant funding needs including CIP Projects identified by City
departments, assess the validity of current funding priority areas, identify changes in funding priority
areas,and identify new priority areas for grant related proposals based on funding viability.We will assist
City staff in providing strategic outreach to relevant agency staff in determining how to competitively
structure the City's funding needs.
Grant Funding Research
AGA will conduct research to actively assist in identifying grant resources including, but not limited to,
federal/state,foundation, agencies and organizations that support the City's funding needs and priorities
for transportation projects. Over the years, the AGA team has successfully assisted multiple cities with
RTSSP grants for traffic signal synchronization and system improvements, Highway Safety Improvement
Program(HSIP)grants for safety improvements,ATP grants for encouraging physical activity such as biking
and walking, and MTA grant funds.
Grant Funding Application
AGA will provide technical assistance to City staff with developing the grant funding applications.We will
complete all necessary forms in response to all grant requirements and evaluate the cost implications to
ensure an executable project that will score favorably based on the funding criteria requirements. AGA
will provide the City with a submittal-ready application. The AGA Team previously assisted the following
cities with applying for grant funds:
Buena Park-$1.3 million HSIP grant Downey-$3.5 million HSIP grant
Fountain Valley-$1.9 million HSIP grant Fullerton -$11 million OCTA RTSSP grants
La Habra -$13 million OCTA RTSSP grants Placentia-$1.2 million HSIP grant
Redlands-$250,000 HSIP grant Rialto-$413,200 HSIP grant
Grant Funding Administration and Reimbursement
Upon receipt of a grant, the AGA team will assist a City with the implementation and day-to-day
administration of the grant related project. We will comply with all grant administration requirements
including periodic reporting of progress and expenses,semi-annual reviews,and any project related scope
changes or unforeseen project extensions. At the close-out of the project, AGA will also provide the
complete project expense documentation for total project expense reimbursement. The AGA Team
assisted the Cities of Fullerton and La Habra with the complete project expense reimbursement for the
OCTA RTSSP grants.

Traffic Safety and City Council Meetings
Establishing good working relationships with various city personnel and City Council members is of
paramount importance for the successful and timely completion of each project. It is those good working
relationships that can ultimately lead to reaching consensus on proposed project recommendations.AGA
will assist the City to prepare agendas prior to each meeting. We will also assemble/prepare any
presentation and/or handouts. Meeting minutes will be prepared after all meetings and will be provided
to all meeting attendees.
AGA's Project Manager and key staff members have extensive experience with participating at various
traffic forums, national industry conferences, and regional meetings. Not only do staff regularly attend
these meetings, but key staff members have also participated by giving presentations to impart to fellow
engineers the knowledge and techniques we have developed.
Review of Land Development Projects/Traffic Studies
AGA staff have reviewed numerous commercial developments and conducted parking studies, traffic
impact studies, circulation studies, etc. It is very important to coordinate the initial study scope of work
to determine what analysis is required. Whether it is a large development project or a small one, all
projects require close attention as each is unique and can potentially have impacts to a city's roadways.
Reviewing land development projects cannot be done from the office by junior level staff alone. It is our
senior level staff who have many years of experience with reviewing development projects of all types
and sizes.They have the expertise to know what to be concerned about and what is inconsequential when
it comes to traffic operations related to new development. The review requires hands-on evaluation of
street conditions and detailed discussions with developers about the operational characteristics of the
proposed development by experienced engineers who have been involved in reviewing and negotiating
development projects from both the municipal and private side of the equation. We understand the
importance of evaluating the internal circulation and ingress/egress of a site plan.We can identify if there
will be any potential traffic(vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists) related impact due to a project.
Below are some tasks AGA will conduct when reviewing traffic studies, site plans, and parking studies for
land developments:
With the new addition of CEQ.A's Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT),AGA will assist city staff with the
review for initial VMT screening to determine if a traffic impact analysis (TIA) is required per a
city's TIA guidelines. If a project is expected to have VMT impacts, AGA will closely evaluate the
feasibility of the proposed VMT mitigations.
If applicable,AGA will coordinate with city staff to evaluate the proposed study intersections,trip
generation via Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition),
traffic count data, Level-of-Service(LOS) analysis and potential improvements.
AGA will evaluate the project site plan,ingress/egress movements along the local roadway(s),and
the internal circulation. If there is truck traffic expected for the project, it is important to evaluate
where and how the trucks enter and exit the project site. Depending on the roadway (curvature
of road and curb lane width), typically a 45-50 foot curb radius is required for a large truck (WB-
67)to enter/exit a driveway.As part of a study's initial scope of work review,AGA will ensure that
all relevant turning templates will be included.

AGA is also familiar with reviewing different parking studies from I i
t
stand-alone projects to shared parking analyses. If a project does
not provide sufficient parking per a city's Parking Code, AGA will a
assist the City with conducting a parking study that evaluates at ]
least three similar existing sites. We understand the parking
situation for business areas within a city and can quickly validate Fi oar w
if the project will have parking impacts to the surrounding area. Review of Parking Management Plan
Traffic Engineering Construction Support
The AGA Team has provided traffic engineering construction support to enable timely completion of all
construction components for traffic engineering projects. Following are some services we can provide:
Assist city and contractors with providing public construction notices to keep the public informed
of project status and any impacts to motorists.
Prepare for and conduct the pre-construction meeting with the city, contractor, and affected
utility owners. Meeting minutes are prepared and distributed to all meeting attendees.
Track and review all construction submittals, Requests for Information(RFIs), Request for Changes
RFCs), Contract Change Orders(CCOs), construction schedule, etc.
Coordinate construction observations with city staff.
Review construction schedule and ensure contractor is adhering to it.
Review and recommend approval of contractor's progress payment invoices.
Conduct regular meetings to discuss project status, as necessary.
Prior to completion of construction, prepare punch list and coordinate with contractor to
complete all outstanding items in a timely manner.
The AGA Team also provides overall system integration efforts which includes coordination with the
construction contractor responsible for installing new traffic signal controllers and cabinets,
communication hardware (cables, switches, Ethernet radios, etc.), Emergency Vehicle Preemption,video
detection systems, CCTV cameras, etc. AGA will work hand-in-hand with the contractor in configuring all
Internet Protocol (IP) devices installed as part of the different projects.

Traffic Signal System Monitoring and Support Services
A popular service AGA provides to a number of public agencies is real-time monitoring of a City's traffic
signal system and its traffic signal timing performance. For several years,we have monitored and operated
traffic signal and camera systems from our Traffic Management Center(TMC) located within our Fullerton
office.AGA's contractual responsibilities include daily monitoring of signal operations, updating and fine-
tuning signal timing, and responding to construction activities, emergencies, and citizen complaints.
Development, implementation and maintenance of coordination timing plans are critical to optimizing
the efficiency of the existing infrastructure. Since traffic patterns change when construction or additional
development occurs, adjustments to timing plans are often required. Only by frequent monitoring of
traffic operations can these timing plans be kept current.
In addition to AGA's expert traffic engineering staff,the company also employs several experienced traffic
signal technicians who can troubleshoot and repair complex communications and traffic signal timing
problems. These technicians are highly skilled and well versed on all types of traffic signal control
hardware and systems,video equipment and control systems, communications, networking, and security
systems.AGA can tailor a traffic signal monitoring and support services arrangement with the City to assist
staff in keeping its traffic signal system functioning at its best and safe from cyber-attack.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program
An effective quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) review will minimize or eliminate additional costs
to the City related to reengineering or contractor claims during construction and liability after project
completion. Delivering a quality product that is right the first time is the primary focus of AGA's
comprehensive QA/QC process. It is an integral part of our regular engineering design and study processes
and the delivery of every investigation, study, report, or document we produce. This added layer of
independent work product review will be conducted at no additional cost to the City.
Our QA/QC program requires that all deliverables leaving our office be reviewed prior to submittal to the
client. All personnel performing work on this project are responsible to ensure its implementation. We
have the philosophy that QA/QC is a continuous process to be utilized on plan preparation from
conceptual design to final PS&E, as well as when conducting various other professional engineering tasks.
Our technical staff is trained to always review work products prior to finalization. Our experienced QC
Manager, will conduct an objective review of the work product. When several disciplines are involved in
a project, the QC Manager may also seek review assistance from other individuals specializing in those
disciplines to verify that all project concepts are being met and all constructability issues are addressed
prior to delivery of the project.
