. . . Professional General Engineering Consultant- Traffic Engineering City of Sunny Isles Beach SECTION TWO EXPERIENCE The foundation of V ANUS' transportation practice is in the transportation engineering and planning skills and expertise of our staff. Having performed similar work for the FDOT and numerous other jurisdictions, we understand the importance of being responsive to task assignments, being knowledgeable of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHW A's) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the FDOT's Manual On Uniform Traffic Studies (MUTS) requirements, and the Florida Design Standards, having staff and resources that are readily available, emphasizing cost-effective and implementable solutions to transportation issues, providing experienced project management, and being committed to the delivery of quality work products. The following paragraphs discuss our experience related to anticipated task assignments. Additional experience is shown on Standard Forms 254/255, included in Section Four. TRAFFIC OPERA nONS STUDIES V ANUS has experience in all areas of traffic operations studies. Staff members have performed various types of traffic engineering analyses, including, but not limited to: safety and traffic operations for signalized and unsignalized intersections; corridor and arterial simulation and capacity analyses; signal timing plan development; travel time and delay studies; highway lighting justification; roadway network analyses; and measures of effectiveness and cost/benefit analyses. V ANUS uses modeling and simulation software such as CORSIM, NETSIM, and SIMTRAFFIC. We also are thoroughly knowledgeable in, and frequently use, analysis programs such as HCS, TRANSYT -7F, SYNCHRO, and PASSER II. V ANUS specializes in performing traffic operations studies. We have four Professional Traffic Operations Engineers (PTOEs) in the firm who have performed traffic studies for FDOT Districts One, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven. V ANUS has been afforded the opportunity to work on various types of studies and has gained insight into the best ways to complete them in a timely and efficient manner. Relevant project experience is shown below: Project: FDOT District Six Districtwide Traffic Operations Safety Studies Contact: Misleidys Leon, FDOT District Six Phone: (305) 470-5345 V ANUS performed safety reviews at the District's 2002 high crash locations. As part of this project, V ANUS prioritized highway sections for study from the approved 2002 District-wide High Crash List and developed reports that evaluated each high crash location within the section by analyzing existing crash patterns over three years of accident data, developing expected values for each location to identify abnormal crash patterns, identifying possible causes of the abnormal crash patterns, and providing recommendations regarding the need for further study. Project: FDOT District One Districtwide Traffic Studies Contact: John Gaskins, FDOT District One Phone: (863) 519-2509 V ANUS is providing on-call traffic engineering services to District One. Tasks include conducting signal warrant studies, left-turn delay studies, and data collection for locations throughout the District. S :\Marketing\4407000\4407003\PRO.doc 3 August 2007
