Consultant Service Order No.2
Traffic Ana/vsis - 63 Street In/ersectiolls
Introduction
The City of Miami Beach has identified the need to study the existing conditions and
future (Year 2021) conditions at two signalized intersections. Study intersections are:
· Indian Creek Drive at 63 Street (with and without fly-over)
· Indian Creek Drive at 65 Street
In general, this study will assist the City staff in responding to the four questions in
Commissioner Richard Steinberg's email dated May 6, 2003, as provided to the Consultant
by the City staff.
Study Period: Traffic operation analysis will be for the existing conditions during A.'vf,
mid-day and PM peak hours on a typical weekday. The 2-hour period to be counted in
the AM, mid-day and the PM peak periods would be based on 72-hour (three-day) bi-
directional machine counts on 63 Street and Indian Creek Drive. In addition to the
existing conditions analysis, traffic analysis will also be performed for projected Year
2021 AM, mid-day, and PM peak hours for each of the alternatives analyzed. Interim
year forecasting and/ or analysis are not a part of this scope.
Study Alternatives: Four alternatives specified by the City staff will be analyzed for Year
2021 projected volumes. The first three are:
1. At-grade Intersection (Alternative 1B, FOOT Report entitled 63'" Street at Indian
Creek Drive, dated March 16, 1999, provided to the Consultant on May B, 2003
by City staff)
2. New Fly-over (Alternative 2, FOOT Report entitled 63rd Street at Indian Creek
Drive, dated March 16, 1999, provided to the Consultant on May B, 2003 by City
staff).
3. No-Build
A fourth alternative will be analyzed to respond to the Commissioner's email comment
#3. This alternative, a variation of study alternative 2, will analyze Indian Creek Drive at
65 Street with the same lane configuration as in the study alternative 1.
Year 2021 Traffic Projections: The methodology used to project 2003 traffic volumes to
Year 2021 volumes will be based on a linear growth method. A linear growth rate of 1.0%
will be applied to existing volumes to project 2021 volumes, as used in the FOOT and
Corradino studies. No model runs are part of this scope.

Task 1 - Meetings
This task allows for up to 2 informal meetings, one with City staff and one COmmissioner
briefing. Public presentations and/ or board meetings are not part of this scope.
Task 1 Products
. Two Meetings
Task 2 - Review Background Studies
This task allows for review of pertinent studies and data provided to the Consultant by
City staff at the May 8,2003 scope meeting. The City will provide other relevant data
and studies. This task does not allow for the Consultant to coordinate and obtain such
studies from third parties.
Specifically, the following studies related to 63 Street Fly-over may be relevant:
1. FOOT's Traffic Study Report, dated January 27,1999 along with traffic
count data (not provided yet)
2. FOOT's Final Supplemental Report. dated March 11, 1999 (already
provided)
3. Corradino's Traffic Study Evaluation. dated April 2000 (already
provided)
Task 2 Products
. General understanding of previous efforts and analysis methodology
Task 3 - Traffic Counts
This task allows for collection of existing 72-hour (three-day) machine bi-directional
counts on one typical weekday at two study locations. Vehicle classification counts are
not part of this scope. The two locations are as follows:
. 63 Street just west of the fly-over
. Indian Creek Drive just north of the fly-over
This task allows for collection of existing tuming movement counts on one typical
weekday at the two study intersections and the fly-over. The turning movement count
program is as follows:
. AM (2-hours) Intersection Turning Movement Counts including pedestrians
. Mid-day (2-hours) Intersection Turning Movement Counts including pedestrians
. PM (2-hours) Intersection Turning Movement Counts including pedestrians
Task 3 Products
. 72-hour bi-directional traffic counts - 21ocations
. 6-hour (AM+MO+PM) Intersection TUI'!\ing Movement Counts - 2 intmP<"tinn.

Task 4 - Field Review
This task allows for field observations of the intersection traffic operations during the
study periods. Review will be performed by a qualified traffic engineer during the AM.
Mid-day and PM peak periods. Roadway characteristics. intersection geometry and
signal characteristics will also be recorded during the field review. This task does not
provide for field inventory of all physical features.
Task 4 Products
· AM. Mid-day and PM Peak Period Field Observations
Task 5 - Existing Intersection Level of
Service (LOS) Analysis
This task allows for the intersection analysis using SIGNAUOOO. The results will be
checked for reasonableness compared to field observations. Any adjustments to the
inputs and! or default values to achieve a reasonable representation of field observed
conditions will be documented and provided to the Oty.
Base condition analysis will reflect existing conditions, i.e., volumes, geometry. signal
timing. Ry-over volumes will be treated consistent with FDOT and the Corradino study
in the LOS analysis.
Task 5 Products
· Intersection Analysis and Worksheets - Existing Condition (AM+MD+ PM)
Task 6A - Year 2021 Volume Forecasts
Year 2021 hourly volumes will be projected consistent with FOOT and the Corradino
study. Methodology is described in the introduction section of this scope. AM. MD. and
PM peak hour turning volumes will be estimated for the two study intersections for each
of the study alternatives.
Task 6A Products
· Year 2021 Intersection Volume Estimates (AM+MD+PM. for each study
alternative) for use in Task 6B
Task 68 - Year 2021 Intersection LOS
Analysis
This task allows for the Year 2021 intersection LOS analysis using SIGNAt2000. Fly-over
volumes will be treated consistent with FOOT and the Corradino study in the LOS
analysis. AM, mid-day, and PM peak hours will be analyzed for each study alternative.
Signal timing will be based on the Corradin~ report and engineering judgment.

received on the draft. Subsequent rounds of comments will require additional fees. The
budget includes response to comments that are editorial/clarification, but does not
include response that would require testing variations of the analysis and/ or concepts.
Such revisions to the analysis and/ or report will require additional fees, if those
revisions are for any reason other than error on part of the Consultant.

Schedule
The schedule is dependent on when the notice to proceed is issued in relation to the
Memorial Day weekend and subsequent closure of Miami-Dade Schools. Counts are not
recommended for the week of May 26, and the Thursday before May 26. Then Miami-
Dade schools close June 11 so we would not recommend counting that week or until
schools open after summer. Furthermore, the Consultant is not resDon.ihl" FM rl~I..,"
