Policv: It is the policy of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Local Agency that businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals (DBE's) as defined in 49 C.F.R. Part 26 have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds. Thus, the requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 26 and Section 1101(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA -21) apply to this Agreement. 2. Obligation of the Engineer to DBE's: The Engineer agrees to assure that DBEs have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of this Agreement and any subconsultant agreement financed in whole or in part with federal funds. In this regard the Engineer shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to assure that DBEs have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform services. The Engineer shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, disability, sex, age, or national origin in the performance of this Agreement or in the award of any subsequent subconsultant agreement. 3. Geographic Area for Solicitation of DBEs: The Engineer shall seek DBEs in the same geographic area in which the solicitation for other subconsultants is made. If the Engineer cannot meet the DBE goal using DBEs from that geographic area, the Engineer shall, as a part of the effort to meet the goal, expand the search to a reasonably wider geographic area. 4. Determination of Participation Toward Meeting the DBE Goal: DBE participation shall be counted toward meeting the goal as follows: A. Once a firm is determined to be a certified DBE, the total dollar value of the subconsultant agreement awarded to that DBE is counted toward the DBE goal set forth above. B. The Engineer may count toward the DBE goal a portion of the total dollar value of a subconsultant agreement with a joint venture eligible under the DBE standards, equal to the percentage of the ownership and control of the DBE partner in the joint venture. C. The Engineer may count toward the DBE goal expenditures to DBEs who perform a commercially useful function in the completion of services required in this Agreement. A DBE is considered to perform a commercially useful function when the DBE is responsible for the execution of a distinct element of the services specified in the Agreement and the carrying out of those responsibilities by actually performing, managing and supervising the services involved and providing the desired product. D. A Engineer may count toward the DBE goal its expenditures to DBE firms consisting of fees or commissions charged for providing a bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consultant, or managerial services and assistance in the procurement of essential personnel, facilities, equipment, materials or supplies required for the performance of this Agreement, provided that the fee or commission is determined by MoDOT's External Civil Rights Division to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services. E. The Engineer is encouraged to use the services of banks owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. 5. Replacement of DBE Subconsultants: The Engineer shall make good faith efforts to replace a DBE Subconsultant, who is unable to perform satisfactorily, with another DBE Subconsultant. Replacement firms must be approved by MoDOT's External Civil Rights Division. Fig. 136.4.1 Contract Revised 01/27/2016 DocuSign Envelope ID: BBA19567-529F-4F78-827C-3E283B05A265 6. Verification of DBE Participation: Prior to final payment by the Local Agency, the Engineer shall file a list with the Local Agency showing the DBEs used and the services performed. The list shall show the actual dollar amount paid to each DBE that is applicable to the percentage participation established in this Agreement. Failure on the part of the Engineer to achieve the DBE participation specified in this Agreement may result in sanctions being imposed on the Commission for noncompliance with 49 C.F.R. Part 26 and/or Section 1101(b) of TEA -21. If the total DBE participation is less than the goal amount stated by the MoDOT's External Civil Rights Division, liquidated damages may be assessed to the Engineer. Therefore, in order to liquidate such damages, the monetary difference between the amount of the DBE goal dollar amount and the amount actually paid to the DBEs for performing a commercially useful function will be deducted from the Engineer's payments as liquidated damages. If this Agreement is awarded with less than the goal amount stated above by MoDOT's External Civil Rights Division, that lesser amount shall become the goal amount and shall be used to determine liquidated damages. No such deduction will be made when, for reasons beyond the control of the Engineer, the DBE goal amount is not met. 7. Documentation of Good Faith Efforts to Meet the DBE Goal: The Agreement goal is established by MoDOT's External Civil Rights Division. The Engineer must document the good faith efforts it made to achieve that DBE goal, if the agreed percentage specified is less than the percentage stated. The Good Faith Efforts documentation shall illustrate reasonable efforts to obtain DBE Participation. Good faith efforts to meet this DBE goal amount may include such items as, but are not limited to, the following: A. Attended a meeting scheduled by the Department to inform DBEs of contracting or consulting opportunities. B. Advertised in general circulation trade association and socially and economically disadvantaged business directed media concerning DBE subcontracting opportunities. C. Provided written notices to a reasonable number of specific DBEs that their interest in a subconsultant agreement is solicited in sufficient time to allow the DBEs to participate effectively. D. Followed up on initial solicitations of interest by contacting DBEs to determine with certainty whether the DBEs were interested in subconsulting work for this Agreement. E. Selected portions of the services to be performed by DBEs in order to increase the likelihood of meeting the DBE goal (including, where appropriate, breaking down subconsultant agreements into economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation). F. Provided interested DBEs with adequate information about plans, specifications and requirements of this Agreement. G. Negotiated in good faith with interested DBEs, and not rejecting DBEs as unqualified without sound reasons, based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities. H. Made efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining any bonding, lines of credit or insurance required by the Commission or by the Engineer. 1. Made effective use of the services of available disadvantaged business organizations, minority contractors' groups, disadvantaged business assistance offices, and other organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of DBE firms.

Project Overview Define what problem or need the project will address and provide a brief summary of the project. Define the problem or need: The Broadway Street corridor is a four -lane roadway traveling in the east -west direction from US 61 to North Water Street next to the Mississippi River. It is one of the most important corridors in the City as it provides access to many large and important land uses to both the City and region: multiple preschools and elementary schools, a middle and junior high school, a regional college (Southeast Missouri State, i.e. SEMO), a regional hospital and many other businesses. To best serve these diverse and multi -modal land uses, Broadway Street is pedestrian -friendly corridor with sidewalks along the north and south sides. Broadway Street is two miles long and it carries approximately 14,200 vehicles per day. There are seven signalized intersection including and between Clark Avenue and Sprigg Street. Major arterials cross the corridor at two of these intersections, West End Avenue and Sprigg Street. The latter is a state truck route that runs through town as Hwy 177 and creates an increased amount of daily traffic at the intersection and on the corridor. Currently, the corridor operates as an uncoordinated system, resulting in poor mainline traffic progression and motorists experiencing excessive and unnecessary delays and queues. In addition, the signals are closely spaced, on average less than 1,000 feet apart, which can makes stops frequent and immediate. The intersections near the college campus and hospital experience the highest levels of congestion due to increased vehicular and pedestrian demands, specifically the intersections of West End Boulevard and Henderson Avenue. Project summary and how the problem will be addressed: Coordinated signal timing plans will be developed and implemented along the Broadway Street corridor in order to combat current traffic operational and safety issues. More specifically, an engineering consultant will: • Analyze recent traffic counts from at all signalized intersections along the corridor (to be collected by the City as part of the project) to determine commuter travel patterns and peak hour volumes. • Calculate new vehicle and pedestrian clearance intervals to ensure that these parameters meet current engineering standards and safe travel through each intersection and. • Review pedestrian traffic data and determine the benefit of implementing leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) at the study intersections. The City currently uses LPIs at 2 intersections. • Develop timing plans for identified peak periods to ensure traffic flows efficiently along the corridor throughout the day and week. These timing plans will incorporate the new clearance intervals and LPIs. • Prepare and present a preliminary report of all findings and proposed timing plans for approval by the City. • Field -implement proposed signal timings in the signal controllers at each intersection. • Perform in -field observations of each weekday peak period (AM, Midday, PM) and fine-tune timing plans per actual traffic conditions. • Provide the City virtual consultations to help them respond to customer comments received after the initial in -field observations and adjustments. The consultant will review the comment and make recommendations (as appropriate) for the City to implement. • Prepare and present a final report detailing the methodology and operational benefits of the new signal timing plans. 3. Project Details Provide a brief description to each category listed below as to how it applies to the project. "Engineering Resources" - Refers to the LPA's own staffed traffic engineering resources. The City of Cape Girardeau has a full-time Traffic Operations Manager on staff, who is responsible for programming and maintaining the signal timing of City -owned traffic signals in Cape Girardeau. The development of optimized timings for a corridor is an exhaustive effort that aims to provide efficient progression on the main roadway while also serving demands on the side street, for all times of a typical day and week. Timing plans are developed and fine-tuned for individual peak periods in traffic, including but not limited to the weekday morning, midday, and afternoon and weekday midday peak periods. Once finalized, only maintenance of signal timings is required. At this time, the City does not have the availability to perform the analysis required for a study of this type. The City does have staff and availability to maintain the timings once the project is completed. "Safety" - Refers to the degree to which traffic safety is addressed via the project. Safety is expected to be directly addressed by this project. Implementing a coordinated traffic signal system has a crash modification factor of 0.79 according to CMF Clearinghouse. In other words, crashes are expected to decrease by 21 percent as a result of implementing coordinated timing plans. In addition, vehicle and pedestrian clearance intervals will be reviewed and updated to meet current engineering standards. Vehicle clearance intervals refer to the "yellow" and "all red" timings displayed prior to the signal switching from one vehicle movement to that of a conflicting movement, and ensure vehicles have suffient time to clear the intersection before conflicting traffic enters. Pedestrian clearance intervals, the "walk" and "flashing don't walk" timing parameters, will also be recalculated to ensure pedestrians have sufficient time to safety navigate each individual crosswalk. A leading pedestrian interval (LPI) displays the "walk" symbol in advance of adjacent traffic getting a green light. LPIs are a proven safety meansure that allow the pedestrian to establish their presence in the crosswalk before vehicles are allowed to go, in particular reducing crashes of pedestrians with righ-turning vehicles. The deployment of LPIs will be reviewed for each crosswalk and implemented as appropriate. "Congestion" - Refers to the degree to which traffic congestion is addressed via the project. (Not applicable for ADA Transition Plans) The project is expected to drastically improve traffic congestion along the Broadway Street corridor. As stated previously, the Broadway Street corridor operates as an uncoordinated system. Under these conditions, the release of vehicles at one signal and their arrival at the next is not coordinated and progression through multiple signals is not provided; it's possible for a vehicle to be stopped at numerous adjacent signals along the corridor. Timing plans would be developed for all commuter travel peak periods throughout the week and weekends. The coordinated timing plans are expected to reduce queues, delays, number of stops, and travel times along the corridor. Lochmueller Group has performed numerous signal optimization projects in the MO -IL region yielding exceptional results. On a similar project where the study corridor was previously uncoordinated, delays were reduced up to 73% and travel times up to 52% after the implementation of optimized signal timing plans. "Innovation" - Refers to countermeasures being considered (roundabouts, flashing yellow arrow, j - turns, prismatic sheeting, etc.). LPIs would be implemented to provide a safer pedestrian environment and prioritize their movement along the corridor. This practice is relatively new around the country. Lochmueller Group recently implemented them on a historic, downtown corridor in Kirkwood, Missouri, first performing research to determine best practices from around the country and how to best incorporate them into the signal optimization process. "Implementation" - Refers to the feasibility of the LPA following through with changes as a result of the project. An engineering consultant will provide the initial implementation of new signal timing plans. They will also perform in -field observations and adjustments to fine -turn the plans for the most efficient travel. After this initial efforts, the City staffs traffic signal engineer that is capable of making modifications to the new signal equipment and timings. This ability allows the City to maintain the new timing parameters as other adjustments are needed over time. "Value" - Refers to the overall gain the project could offer compared to the total cost. Signal optimization projects use the existing roadway and traffic signal equipment to improve capacity and efficiency along congested corridors, reduce emissions, and reduce crashes. Cost savings are found in the reduced cost of commuting (less fuel bought, reduced travel times) and in the reduction of crashes, all without spending money on expensive infrastructure. Crash data obtained from MoDOT revealed there were approximately 1,050 crashes along Broadway Street between Clark Avenue and Sprigg Street between 2010 and 2021; one of these crashes was a fatality. As stated previously, implementing signal coordination plans is expected to reduce crashes by 21%. On Broadway Street, that is estimated to be around 20 crashes per year. This reduction would result in great saving when considering the monetized value of crashes, as estimated by the US Department of Transportation and summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Crash Monetization Factors KABCO Level Monetized Value (2019) O — No Injury $3,700 C — Possible Injury $72,500 B — Non -incapacitating $142,000 A — Incapacitating $521,300 K — Killed $10,900,000 U — Injured (Severity Unknown) $197,600 # Accidents Reported (Unknown if Injured) $150,200 In addition, there were 17 pedestrian and bicycle crashes along the Broadway Street corridor. Updated pedestrian and vehicle clearance intervals, along with implemting LPIs, are expected to greatly improve the safety for pedestrians along the corridor. In summary, the expected benefits from more efficient travel and reduced crashes are expected to greatly outweigh the cost of the project. [The remainder of this page is intentionally left blank] E. GENERAL COST ESTIMATE List the cost of the project components in the table provided below. Federal funds can reimburse 80 percent (up to $12,000 per project) of the total project cost.

As a result, the City funded the Maria Louise Lane/Kiwanis Drive/Broadview Street Intersection Improvements design in the 2021-2025 Transportation Trust Fund 6 (TTF6) Program. The City intends to utilize Lochmueller Group as the TEAP-approved traffic engineering consultant to complete this traffic study. Lochmueller Group employs 11 Professional Traffic Operations Engineers (PTOE) and several other traffic engineers who have collectively completed hundreds of traffic engineering capacity studies. More specifically, Lochmueller Group employs staff with traffic signal operations, design and timing optimization expertise. They have completed many successful traffic operations and safety studies, traffic signal design and signal timing optimization projects for MoDOT and other local agencies. [The remainder of this page is intentionally left blank] H. PERSON IN RESPONSIBLE CHARGE 23 CFR 635.105 states a Local Public Agency must provide a full time employee to be in "responsible charge" of a project reciving federal funds. The person in "responsible charge" of LPA administered projects need not be an engineer. This requirement applies even when consultants are providing construction engineering services. The person designated as being in "responsible charge" is expected to be a public employee who is accountable for a project. This person should be expected to be able to perform the following duties and functions: • Administers inherently governmental project activities, including those dealing with cost, time, adherence to contract requirements, construction quality and scope of Federal -aid projects; • Maintains familiarity of day to day project operations, including project safety issues; • Makes or participates in decisions about changed conditions or scope changes that require change orders or supplemental agreements; • Visits and reviews the project on a frequency that is commensurate with the magnitude and complexity of the project; • Reviews financial processes, transactions and documentation to ensure that safeguards are in place to minimize fraud, waste, and abuse; and • Directs project staff, agency or consultant, to carry out project administration and contract oversight, including proper documentation. • Is aware of the qualifications, assignments and on-the-job performance of the agency and consultant staff at all stages of the project. If your application is successfully awarded funding, designation of a person in responsible charge will be required prior to commencement of the TEAP project.

This study supports our hopes of improving congestion and unnecessary delays while traveling on Broadway Street. Cape County Transit is located in the middle of Broadway, right across from Southeast Missouri State University. This is a prime location for our business, but the poor traffic flow adds a lot of inconvenience. We operate approximately 40 on demand cabs and 2 bus routes within the City of Cape, only adding to the issues at hand. This study could greatly improve our community and provide a safer location for businesses to operate. Since Cape County Transit contributes a significant amount to the heavy traffic flow, we are committed to providing any insight and possible recommendations we may have. We give our full support to this project and look forward to hearing about its success.
