RE: Proposal for Professional Transportation Engineering Services for the Systemic Safety Analysis
Report Program (SSARP) for Traffic Signal, Signage and Street Lighting
Dear Mr. Khodr:
KOA is extremely excited to submit this proposal for professional transportation engineering services for the Systemic
Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) with inventories of traffic signal, signage, and street lighting for the City of
San Bernardino. We are well-qualified, fully prepared, and eager to provide the City of San Bernardino with all the
necessary services. The following are the key strengths KOA offers for the SSARP project.
EXTENSIVE HSIP AND SSARP GRANT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE
KOA has provided assistance on both SSARP and HSIP grant applications and management for multiple agencies,
totaling more than $1.2 million awarded improvement funds since 2015.
INNOVATIVE INVENTORY METHODOLOGY FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL, SIGNAGE & STREET LIGHTING
KOA has conducted many traffic signal, signage, and street lighting inventory projects for agencies. Our unique
methodology includes using Tremble GPS units, web -based GIS datasets, and geo-coded photos with hyper -links in a
GIS database.
SYSTEM -WIDE EVALUATION APPROACH AND FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The purpose of the inventory is to provide a tool for the City to apply HSIP and other grants to improve the traffic
signal, signage, and street lighting system. KOA is experienced with system -wide safety evaluations methodology. Our
recommendations will include immediate, interim, and long term recommendations for the improvements, along with
engineering cost estimates.
The key personnel for this project include Min Zhou, PE (project director), Walter Okitsu, PE, PTOE (principal -in -
charge), Frank Barrera (assistant project manager and task leader for the database management and signage inventory),
Ryan Calad, PE (task leader for traffic signal inventory and engineering recommendations), and Martin Varona, EIT,
who will be responsible for the final SSAR preparation. All key members have extensive experience in HSIP, SSAR,
data analysis, and engineering recommendations. We have used the same key members to successfully carry out many
similar projects.
We have fully considered the RFP requirements and have received Addendum No. 1. We attest that the attached
qualifications, resumes, and all information submitted with the proposal are true and correct. This proposal is valid
for 180 days from the date of submittal. Please contact me if you wish to discuss this proposal further or if you have
questions. The undersigned is authorized to contractually bind KOA for this project. We look forward to working
with the City of San Bernardino on this project.
Sincerely,

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of San Bernardino received funds through Caltrans' Systemic Safety
Analysis Report Program (SSARP) grant to conduct a large scale citywide
inventory of traffic signals, signage, and street lights and to prepare a systemic
safety analysis report (SSAR). This SSAR creates an opportunity to identify
infrastructure deficiencies, prioritize improvements, and obtain future grants
to address the safety needs for local residents and businesses in the City of
San Bernardino.
The SSAR will evaluate all existing traffic signals and street lights at signalized
intersections and mid -block signalized crossings. Only signage near public
schools in the City will be evaluated and included in the SSAR. Outlined
below is a summary of the proposed SSAR project work items.
Traffic Signals and Street Lighting
The City is 62.42 square miles with approximately 681 centerline miles of
roadway and nearly 300 City -owned traffic signals. Existing traffic signal
systems will be evaluated via field survey for signal hardware, communication
facilities, controller cabinet components, and other traffic signal support
systems. The purpose of analyzing the existing traffic signals is to gain a full
understanding of the existing systems and to establish a foundation for the
recommendation of any potential future signal system upgrades. There are
about 50 Caltrans -owned traffic signals which are not part of the evaluation.
Street lighting is typically associated with providing sufficient lighting along
roadways and intersections for all users during nighttime hours. A street
lighting evaluation and inventory is an important safety tool that the City
can utilize to determine appropriate improvements that help reduce the
frequency of nighttime collisions. Signalized intersection safety lights will be
documented for types of light bulb fixtures and noted if they are equipped
with photo cells. Light bulb fixtures with high pressure sodium (HIPS) will be
recommended for replacement with LED lighting.
School Area Signage
All signs on roadway segments and intersections within a public school zone
(1/4 mile from the boundary) will be analyzed to determine if compliance
with the latest MUTCD is achieved, retro -reflectivity levels are adequate,
signage visibility is not obstructed, and existing sign locations are justified.
The analysis will include recommended locations for new signs and the
identification of worn and damaged signs for replacement. This information
will be collected and summarized in a sign inventory. The sign inventory scope
of work includes items such as (but are not limited to) a GIS database, field
inventory template, and retro -reflectivity assessment. There are about 70
public schools within the City of San Bernardino's boundary.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
will result in a comprehensive SSAR, summarizing the details of the completed
work. Per SSARP guidelines, the SSAR will include current collision data,
crash analysis, the identification of high risk corridors and intersections, and
other safety analysis. The SSAR will identify preliminary safety project scopes
and recommendations that will utilize traffic signal, street lighting, and signage
upgrades as countermeasures. The City currently does not have an inventory
of its existing traffic signals, street lighting, and signing; it is believed that many
of these devices are in need of replacement or upgrade.
The final SSAR will allow the City to directly apply for Caltrans Highway
Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funds to address deficiencies.
This project will require the detailed management of mass data, engineering
analysis, and program experience to position the City to capture the greatest
grant improvement benefit. We believe KOA holds the keys to the success of
the project.
Extensive HSIP & SSARP Grant Management Experience
KOA has assisted on both SSARP and HSIP grant applications for multiple
agencies, totaling more than $1.2 million in awarded improvement funds
since 2015. This includes assisting the City of San Bernardino with their
SSARP application for this project. This work required the quantification
of accident records, benefit -cost ratio calculations, and similar data sets
for use in applying for grant improvement funds.
Signal & ITS Design Knowledge
Having experienced engineers complete signal inventory field assessments
and cost estimates is critical to the project's success. Our team will
be led by seasoned engineers with extensive signal design, operations,
communications, and ITS experience to provide an accurate needs
assessment and PS&E level cost estimates.
Management & Quantification of Mass Data
The project entails extensive mass data management, analysis, and
improvement prioritization. KOA has this experience from similar
Caltrans and FHWA programs, including safe routes to school (SRTS),
active transportation plans (ATP), and county -wide bicycle improvements.
KOA's Orange office staff currently manages and has completed
numerous projects of this type in recent years. We will use the same GIS
database approach to manage and control information.
Experience with School Area Signage
From KOA's recent SRTS and ATP projects, we have completed school
area signage inventory assessments and MUTCD compliance analyses for
55 schools in San Bernardino County. We also have completed agency -
wide sign inventories, assessments, and analyses for the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes and the Port of Long Beach that total more than 10,000
signs. This extensive experience will be greatly beneficial to the City.
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
KOA CORPORATION
PLANNING & ENGINEERING
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
KOA's Approach to the GIS Database
Our understanding is that the City currently has a GIS database that identifies
all signalized intersection locations within the City. This inventory effort is
an opportunity for the City to enhance its current GIS inventory database
to include signage. Our database development and analysis component will
include the processing and storing of geographic data collected in the field for
traffic control devices into a GIS database for analysis and reporting. After
we complete the inventory, we will provide a file containing all inventory
information to the City so that it can be uploaded to the City's own GIS
database.
The data collected and recorded from this assessment will enable our team
and City staff to determine if traffic signs and/or traffic signal equipment
meet the intended design specifications; to catalog information regarding
physical conditions of the traffic control devices; to identify locations
where maintenance or repairs are needed; to quantify the extent of work
required for the proposed improvements; and to maintain records of repair,
maintenance, and installations of improvements.
Approach to Inventory Management
In order to provide a high-quality and cost-effective solution to the City, KOA
offers the following unique strategies for completing the project inventories:
• Use the combination of our own assistant planners/engineers/interns and
our subconsultant to conduct the labor-intensive field inventory. The
team members will utilize their engineering training and experience to
identify issues and make notes for future recommendations.
We plan on deploying two to three field crews to conduct the data
collection/inventory process. Each field crew will be responsible for
collecting data within different areas of the City, increasing efficiency,
and reducing the amount of time required in the field to complete the
comprehensive data collection process. New intern crew members will
attend a one -day training workshop and will follow the field manual and
procedures developed by KOA for any issues raised in the field.
KOA plans on utilizing hand-held GPS devices or a mobile app to
efficiently conduct the data collection and inventory process. High
resolution photo images will be taken at each location.
Create a user-friendly GIS template for each data input. The majority of
the data will be populated in the template, e.g., sign types and sizes will be
stored in the hand-held device beforehand. The field review will mostly
utilize drop-down menus or check boxes to avoid manual typing and to
minimize data entry errors. Therefore, our field inventory process will
reduce the amount of time required in the field to collect the desired data
for each feature; will reduce the amount of manual data input needed; and
will streamline the GIS database integration process.
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
KOA CORPORATION
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Approach to SSAR Analysis
After a full assessment of the inventory, an SSAR will be written that includes
current collision data, crash analysis, identification of high risk corridors, and
other safety analyses. The three-year collision data will be collected from
sources such as the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS),
local police accident data, and the Transportation Injury Mapping System
(TIMS) GIS map online tool. The TIMS map provides filters that allow users
to identify locations where collisions of concern took place and a time -frame
to show only collisions that occurred during the specified dates.
Approach to Potential Grant Opportunities
In the SSAR, we will note improvement countermeasures to systemic safety
issues that can be applied for use in potential grant funding opportunities,
such as HSIP grant applications. In terms of the potential HSIP grant
fund opportunities, each HSIP project application may include up to three
proposed countermeasures, each with varying crash modification factors
(CMF). According to the TIMS database, the City experienced 1,535
collisions (not including state highways) during the period of January 1, 2011
to December 31, 2013. By a significantly large margin, the most common
collision type is broadside (43.2%) . Other common collision types include
rear -end (18.2%), head-on (10.7%), and vehicle/pedestrian (9.3%). The
primary collision factor during this period is unsafe speed, which accounts
for nearly 18% of the collisions in the City. As such, to address the
previously listed collision types and factors, we have identified below a list
of possible countermeasure improvements with the greatest opportunity of
implementation by using a systemic approach.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The project will analyze the various countermeasures and combinations to
maximize the greatest benefit possible for grant opportunities for systemic
improvements spread across the City network.
Project Management & Quality Control
It is expected that the majority of the project management will be
accomplished through meetings with the City, e-mail, and other
correspondence. KOA will be responsible for coordinating with our
subconsultant while providing assurances that all project tasks are being
completed on time and as expected. Contacts for KOA are: Min Zhou
(project director), Ryan Calad (signal and street lighting inventory task leader),
and Frank Barrera (signage inventory and database management task leader).
KOA personnel assigned to this project are located in our Orange office and
our San Bernardino County office.
Quality control will be consistently and thoroughly applied throughout the
project development. This will be done by placing a priority on deliverables,
which will be organized, thorough, and streamlined to maximize efficiency.
The QA/QC manager will conduct the appropriate level of oversight and will
demonstrate a concerted commitment to provide a high-quality product. This
will also be applied to invoice processing and related project documentation
forms required by the City and Caltrans.
Project Schedule & Critical Paths
The RFP does not give a specific outline for the project schedule, though the
SSARP details state that the analysis needs to be completed within 36 months
of funding for Caltrans reimbursement. The project will be completed well
within that time frame, since we expect to complete the project within one
year from the notice to proceed. This will be in advance of the Caltrans
HSIP Cycle 9 call for projects, which is anticipated in May 2018. The critical
path for this project is the collection of inventory data. All data will be
compiled during this time as the ranking/scoring sheets are developed,
including SWITRS collision data, the City's citizen complaints, and the existing
conditions field observations.
KOA has identified a detailed scope of work, which is described as follows.

Task I: Project Management
Task 1.1: Kickoff Meeting
Once we obtain the purchase order (PO), the KOA team will organize an
initial meeting with the City of San Bernardino staff to initiate the project.
Key staff from KOA will attend the kickoff meeting. KOA will provide the
meeting agenda and prepare the meeting minutes. This kickoff meeting will
serve to define the goals and objectives, confirm expectations on the part of
the City and KOA for the project, and establish lines of communication for
the continued progress of the project.
Task 1.2: Field Inventory Procedures
Through previous inventory and database management work, KOA has
adopted a practical methodology for conducting inventories. We will review
the proposed field inventory procedures with the City's project manager to
receive concurrence before initiating the field inventory process. This will
ensure that the appropriate data is collected in the field and used to properly
develop the field inventory database.
The procedure is illustrated in the flowchart in the upper right:
Tosk 1.3: GIS Dotabaselfield Inventory Ternplate Design
Since field inventory is a labor-intensive process, the database and inventory
template to be used in the field will need to be well designed. Based on
inventory attributes, the team will modify our current data dictionary that
facilitates data entry in the field through simple -to -use drop-down menus to
accommodate the needs of the City. This drop-down menu system reduces
data entry errors through the use of pick -list domains and types of data to be
entered (date field, text field, numeric field, and drop-down menu). KOA has
established an automatic data uploading/processing procedure as an important
component of our QA/QC process for managing the data. KOA will modify
our existing inventory template to match the City's requested traffic signal
and signage attributes. Other data fields may be included in the GIS database
for future data input, such as warranty information, contact information, and
other desired information.
KOA will work with the City's GIS staff in developing the GIS -based inventory
database and management layer to document the inventories and conditions
assessment of the data collected. The database will include the ability to
receive inventory updates, maintain historical information, conduct a search
of particular traffic control devices, and track installation and maintenance
activities. The database will be compatible with Microsoft Excel 2010 (or
the latest version) and the City's preferred software. The data shall be
incorporated into the City's ArcGIS system as a layer for the inventory.
Digital photos will be linked to the locations in the database. To ensure

inventory and management database will be approved by the City prior to
entering data. Field staff training will be an important step of the process.
KOA has developed a field manual to standardize the procedures.
Task 2: Field Inventory
Task 2. i: Tra is Signal Inventory
KOA will conduct a complete inventory of all City -owned signalized
intersections. The signal inventory will include traffic signal controllers,
communication facilities, and other traffic signal support systems throughout
the City. The purpose of the existing signal system analysis is to gain a
full understanding of the existing system and establish a foundation for
the recommendation of any potential future signal system upgrades or
replacements for the City. To ensure a mutual agreement/concurrence of
the data that will be collected, the checklist will be reviewed with City staff
in advance of any field work being performed. This approach will help reduce
the need to return to the field to collect additional data.
Components of a traffic signal system can be unique and varied in type,
quality, age, and brand. Each component will be inventoried, evaluated, and
discussed separately. However, the system will ultimately function at its best
when all of the components are fully and completely integrated. Components
of the signal system we will focus on will include:
• Location and distribution of traffic signals
• Traffic signal controller, hardware and software at the intersection
• Communication infrastructure
KOA will collect existing traffic infrastructure information through a series of
activities:
Meeting with City traffic engineering staff
Review of signal interconnect/signal system documentation and as -built
records
• Conduct inventory in the field, including controller cabinets
The inventory will be sufficient to assess the routing of the City's existing
communications and the condition of the corresponding infrastructure.
We will determine the existing infrastructure condition and make
recommendations for equipment upgrades.
Task 2.2: Signage Inventory
KOA will conduct a detailed inventory of all signage within a quarter -mile of
all 70 elementary, middle, high, and charter public schools in San Bernardino.
We believe that bringing all signage around schools up to the current
standard has the highest priority for the City. KOA field crews, consisting
of experienced transportation planners/engineers/interns, will utilize the
updated and approved template to inventory all signs, including regulatory,
warning, guide, street name, general information, and non-standard traffic

signs found along the City -maintained roadways. Each sign shall receive the
following documentation:
• Location
The traffic control device shall be located using accurate global positioning
(GPS) identified by latitude and longitude using the state's coordinate
system. Locations with multiple signs on a common mounting shall list
all signs both together for location and separately for sign -type inventory
purposes. All traffic control devices will be photographed for inventory
and maintenance purposes.
Specifics
Each traffic control device will be field -reviewed to obtain all necessary
documentation needed for inventory and maintenance purposes. The
following lists specific information that may be collected through the sign
inventory:
• Sign Type
• Sign Orientation
• Sign Width & Height
• Post Type/Sign Mounting Type
• Sign Image
• Adjacent Street Name
KOA will provide ongoing engineering quality control checks in the office and
in the field. On a weekly basis, staff will review new inventory records and
identify any records that should be rechecked or corrected. The following
are some examples of what must be monitored and will be monitored by
KOA:
• Incorrect entry of sign direction, legend, dimensions, colors, etc.
• Retro -reflectivity measured on the wrong part of the sign
• Sheeting material type recorded incorrectly
%. Missing signs along the route
• GPS coordinates recorded incorrectly
Once the data has been collected and input into the database, KOA's
engineering staff will perform QA/QC checks for any conflicting or erroneous
data received from the field inventory. Any suspected erroneous data that
cannot be fixed or resolved with engineering judgment in the office will have
to be revisited in the field.
Task 2.3: Traffic Sign Retro -reflectivity Assessment
The latest CA MUTCD identifies the minimum acceptable levels of retro -
reflectivity to be maintained on traffic control signs. KOA proposes nighttime
inspection methodology to conduct the retro -reflectivity test. A visual
nighttime inspection of existing sign retro -reflectivity can be conducted. This
is a methodology approved by FHWA and is more cost-effective than the
CITY Of SAN BERNARDINO
KOA CORPORATION
PLANNING 8 £NG�N.`tPING
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING I SCOPE OF SERVICES
daytime retro-reflectometer testing method. The nighttime visual inspection
will be conducted from a moving vehicle and will conform to the 2007 Edition
of the FHWA's Methods for Maintaining Traffic Sign Retro -Reflectivity,
Chapter 3, Assessment Methods for Nighttime Inspection. The inspection
team will consist of a minimum of two persons: one person to concentrate
on safe driving and another to record deficient signs. Both team members
will observe the signs. KOA proposes to use a full-sized pick-up, sport utility
vehicle, or van for our inspection vehicle. The observer will be a senior
citizen (over 60 years of age) with good eyesight and knowledge of sign types.
Certain signs listed in the CA MUTCD do not require a visual nighttime
reflectivity evaluation. The retro -reflectivity evaluations will be based on
first viewing a relatively new sign and then making conservative judgments
of the reflective quality of other signs. Signs partially or fully obstructed
will be identified. Special consideration will involve advanced warning signs,
usually placed to alert drivers to expect stops, signals, or curves in the road
ahead. The team will perform the inspection while driving at either posted
speed limits or prevailing speeds and from the travel lanes, not the shoulder.
The team will assess, as the vehicle approaches the sign, the sign's overall
appearance in terms of brightness and legibility.
The advantages of the nighttime retro -reflectivity inspection method are that
it is significantly cheaper and less time-consuming to conduct. In addition,
since the signs are actually viewed at night in their natural surroundings,
other factors such as signs being obstructed by vegetation, curving roads,
or ambient lighting can be identified. The major drawback on the nighttime
visibility method is that it can be subjective based on the visual acuity of the
driver. While the potential subjectivity of the nighttime visual inspection
method cannot be ignored, it has been shown that trained inspectors can
usually detect signs that are deficient at night and that should be replaced.
From previous experience on other nighttime sign studies, we find that it
quickly becomes evident which signs are lacking proper image reflectivity.
The lack of adequate sign performance can include an incorrect
angle facing traffic or signs in need of cleaning. Signs having external
illumination will be inventoried.
A nighttime survey will be performed after the initial daytime field data
inventory. This will provide the field crew with an opportunity to verify
the integrity of the database, whether the data record matches with the
actual sign in the field, and whether there are any missing records in the
database.
Task 3: Inventory Assessment & QA/QC
Task 3.1: Assessment Criteria
During the field inventory process, the condition of each traffic control
device is indicated in the database. Signs may get vandalized with stickers or
graffiti, traffic signal head back plates become worn out and faded by the sun,

and lighting poles may have been damaged by vehicles. KOA's field inventory database template is designed to record
three "condition" fields which are defaulted to "satisfactory" but are changed according to the conditions of the sign
being surveyed. Traffic signal and lighting equipment conditions will be documented in the database and will record
characteristics such as signal head housing conditions, flickering of the signal head light bulb or street light fixture, non-
operational equipment, and pedestrian push button and pedestrian signal head compliance, etc. Assessment criteria
will be finalized with the City, then used to determine replacement thresholds for cost estimation.
Task 3.2: Database Uploading & QA/QC
KOA will upload all data files to a GIS layer for use during the project and for delivery to the City upon project
completion. The exhibit below is a GIS map KOA created to show the City's roadway network and a I/4 -mile buffer

The SSAR will include a summary of major results of the inventory work, including methodologies used, field work
notes, and data analysis. Crash data analysis, countermeasures to address safety issues, and viable project scopes and
a prioritized list of safety projects will be included. The report will be prepared in accordance with Caltrans' SSARP
guidelines.
Task 4.2: Crash Analysis
Collision information from at least three of the most recent years will be acquired through the SWITRS website to
determine the number of collisions in the City of San Bernardino and the severity type. Collision severity ranges from
"Complaint of Pain", "Visible Injury", "Severe Injury", and "Fatality". Crash trends, crash concentrations, and identifying
leading causes of fatalities and severe injuries will be identified through the crash analysis. A general review and
discussion of top crash types in the overall network and at high risk corridors and intersections will be provided.

Task 4.3: Priority List
Once the crash analysis is completed, corresponding countermeasures must be identified to address safety issues.
Countermeasures will be chosen from a list provided by the Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) to identify potential
systemic countermeasures. Based on select countermeasures, KOA will create preliminary safety project scopes. KOA
will focus on finding the ideal balance between collision analyses on a systemic basis while also addressing high crash
locations. The next step will be to use total project costs and the calculation of benefit/cost (B/C) ratios to prioritize
the list of safety projects. The City may then choose to pursue funding for high priority projects through future funding
opportunities such as HSIP funding cycles.
VALUE-ADDED SERVICES
As an added value to the above services, KOA would like to help the City prepare an application for the next HSIP
grant cycle. We believe the SSAR project will be near completion about the time of the call for projects for HSIP Cycle
9, which is expected to be announced around May 2018. We will be able to apply this grant to the prioritized projects
identified through the HSIP.
Another value-added item KOA would like to provide is the management of the SSAR grant. Since we assisted the City
with obtaining the SSARP grant, we are very familiar with the SSAR guidelines and will be able to help the City submit
all required forms from Caltrans.

KOLAS PAST EXPERIENCE
KOA assisted the City of San Bernardino by providing a comprehensive
application package to secure funding and strategize effective methods
of developing justification for the evaluation criteria for the highest point
system potentials for the Call for Application Systemic Safety Analysis
Report Program (SSARP). We followed the SSARP guidelines, filled out the
application form, conducted analysis, and provided exhibits, tables and a cost
estimate to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed countermeasures
The project was awarded $250,000 in SSARP funding.
This citywide inventory effort is an opportunity for the City to create and
maintain a comprehensive GIS inventory database of all City regulatory,
warning, guide, recreational, general information, and street name signs
along all City -maintained roadways, parks, and open space and to provide
the appropriate measures to maintain, repair, or upgrade any traffic control
devices which do not meet the current design standards or provide the
appropriate safety measures. In accordance with the latest California
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), KOA is obtaining
benchmark retro -reflectivity readings on the existing signs to assist the City
in projecting sign replacement and maintenance costs. KOA is conducting the
inventory and database within a four-month period.
KOA conducted a complete assessment of the traffic signal controllers,
communication facilities and other traffic signal support systems throughout
the City of South Pasadena. The purpose of the existing signal system
analysis was to gain a full understanding of the existing system and establish
a foundation for the recommendation of Metro Grant Funded signal system
upgrades or replacements for the City. Components of a traffic signal system
can be unique and varied in type, quality, age, and brand. Our inventory of
the signal system focused on:
I. General street network & configuration
2. Location & distribution of traffic signals
3. Traffic signal controller, hardware, and software at the intersection
4. Communication infrastructure. KOA used our company's standardized
forms to inventory all of the required details listed above.

KOA'S PAST EXPERIENCE
KOA assisted the City of South Gate Public Works Department in preparing
a citywide lighting master plan. As part of this preparation, KOA completed
an extensive inventory of nearly 4,500 street lights and 100 parking lot
lights in the City of South Gate. The inventory included obtaining the GPS
coordinates of each light and field -verifying pole material, luminaire mast arm
length, wattage, and fixture type (LED or HPS). The field survey also included
identifying lighting equipment with damage, conflicting street trees, and
inadequate ADA clearance. The master plan was prepared to help support
the City's goals of providing the appropriate lighting to promote public safety
and energy efficiency.
KOA and its team were retained by the Port of Long Beach (POLB) to
conduct signage inventory and database management for approximately
10,000 traffic signs of different types on streets within the POLB Harbor
District's jurisdiction. The goals of this project are to enable POLB to
improve traffic safety by helping to maintain signs in a good condition and
assist POLB in complying with the Sign Retro -reflectivity Requirements
specified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The
KOA team identified the critical steps of the project, including pre -field
inventory preparation and training, field inventory supervision/ monitoring,
database processing, final documentation, and recommendations. The latest
Tremble GPS unit model with high precision and bar code labeling technology
is used for the database management. Software Implemented: ArcGIS,
TerraSync, GPS PathFinder.
The Safe Route to School (SR2S) Plan Phase II study is an effort to include
more pedestrian and SR2S components in the non -motorized transportation
plan for the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA).
KOA has established a data collection strategy methodology for a total of 55
schools, is conducting walk/bike audits for the most -needed schools, and is
providing feasible and grant application -ready improvement recommendations
and cost estimates for those schools. By providing safer and better pedestrian
and bicycle programs, KOA is helping SBCTA not only promote walking
and bicycling to school, but also improve the overall health and economic
development of the communities across the region.
