Cary is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for qualified engineering consulting firms (Consultants) to provide traffic engineering services related to multiple traffic data collection projects (‘Project’). The Consultant(s) selected for the Services are expected to provide timely responses to Cary for traffic count data requests. In many instances, collection of traffic data is time sensitive. Types of traffic data collection that the Cary expects to be provided by the Consultant(s) include the following: A. Turning Movement Counts Data The turning movement counts quantify volume of traffic for each movement by the approach from which the vehicle enters and by the direction in which it leaves the intersection. Each approach into the intersection (signalized, unsignalized, and roundabout) may have multiple movements (left-turn, U-turn, thru, and right-turn). The data collection shall capture all traffic movements at these intersections traversed by motorists, pedestrians, bicyclist, and other non-motorized (including electric assisted personal mobility devices) transportation modes. Typical turning movement counts shall be conducted in fifteen (15) minute increments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. However, other increment durations and data on Saturday and/or Sunday may also be requested by Cary. Turning movements counts are usually collected from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. In addition, peak hour 6:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 7:00 PM on weekdays and between 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on weekends turning movement counts may also be requested.
