SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on the objectives of this planning effort, the work program illustrated on the following page
and summarized below defines the necessary work efforts.
Task 1 - Project Organization
It is important for any project to begin on the "right foot". Thus, this task ensures that a common
understanding of the process has been reached before starting.
Subtask 1.1 Review and discuss any unclear or unresolved work tasks, technical approaches or
work products with County staff
Subtask 1.2 Clarify and agree upon all expectations of County staff to provide data or other
assistance to FRU.
Subtask 1.3 Establish any and all procedures for coordination between FHU and County staff and
for coordination with other local entities.
Subtask 1.4 Refine the proposed public involvement plan and develop a conceptual schedule for
public open houses and meetings.
Task 2 - Compile/Review Data and Studies of Roadway System
There has been considerable transportation planning conducted in Northern Colorado in recent years
and it is important that this effort be consistent with these other plans. In addition, previous plans
are a valuable source of useful information.
Subtask 2.1 Compile all applicable comprehensive plans and transportation plans from the
County and from the local entities within the County.Also collect relevant plans for
the Upper Front Range and the North Front Range Transportation Planning Regions,
and any appropriate studies completed by other agencies such as the Colorado
Department of Transportation.
Subtask 2.2 Extract from these plans and studies existing roadway classifications established by
the County and the local jurisdictions.
Subtask 2.3 Compile all typical roadway cross-sections and other design standards currently
being used by the County and the local jurisdictions.

Weld County Roadway Classification Study Exhibit A
Subtask 2.4 Compile any access management guidelines currently in use in the County'.
Subt.ask 2.5 Complete an inventory of the County road system including lanes,width, shoulders,
surface type, right-of-way, and average daily traffic volumes. This information can
be compiled working with County staff and the County's roadway inventory data
base, as we did when preparing the transportation impact fee studies.
Subtask 2.6 All available traffic volume data will be plotted on a map of the County road system,
and critical gaps in those data will be identified. FHU will then work with County
staff to develop a program of traffic counting to fill the most critical voids in this data
base. The County has indicated that their staff could complete up to 200 additional
counts in about a one-month period of time.
Subtask 2.7 Inventory existing bicycle facilities in the County. In order to ensure consistency of
planning for bicycle routes, facilities on the County system, on State highways, and
within local jurisdictions should be inventoried.
Subtask 2.8 Collect all available data on existing and projected population, households, and
employment in the County.
Task 3 - Prepare Future Conditions Vision
Future travel demand estimates on the roadway system will be one key factor in determining the
roadway classification plan.There is no model available for projecting future volumes on the County
road system, and it is not proposed to develop one. Instead, 10-year traffic projections will he
developed by increasing existing volumes on the basis of growth projections throughout the County.
Subtask 3.1 Upon review of the future socio-economic data throughout the County, establish a
series of"growth zones"in which the level, rate, and type of growth are expected to
be consistent.
Subtask 3.2 Working with the County Planning Department and the local entities, develop and
agree upon 10-year growth rates for each of these zones.
Subtask 3.3 Modify these growth rates into traffic growth factors and apply the factors to existing
traffic volumes on the roadways in each zone to estimate future traffic volumes.
Adjust these volumes accordingly to reflect projections from previous studies or
other unique factors known about a particular roadway.

Weld County Roadway Classification Study Exhibit A
Task 4 - Develop Roadway Classification Plan
As outlined in the Request for Proposal, there are five distinct elements of the Roadway
Classification Plan.
Subtask 4.1 Functional Classification System
4.1.1 Review the categories currently used by the County,as well as those used by
other entities within the county. Identify a set of categories to be used in the
revised classification system based on applicability to the needs of Weld
County and its varied nature.
4.1.2 Identify the basic characteristics which define each classification category.
Factors typically used for this purpose include volume of traffic, length of
continuity, distance of travel, spacing of similar roadways, and ability to
serve major origins and destinations. The key factor is the degree to which a
road is meant to serve each of two functions: mobility and access.
4.1.3 Apply these definitions to the existing County classification system to
determine consistencies and differences. Upon review of the differences,
determine the appropriate classification for those roadways and prepare an
initial classification system. Coordinate this plan with those of local
jurisdictions and modify accordingly.
4.1.4 Prepare a functional classification map in AutoCAD format and a document
defining the classification categories.
Subtask 4.2 Typical Roadway Sections
4.2.1 Review and compare typical roadway sections currently used by the County
and by the local entities in the county. Highlight the differences between
these standards.
4.2.2 Discuss with County staff any particular concerns or problems which have
arisen as a result of specific elements of the sections currently used.
4.2.3 Research typical sections used by other counties, especially as they relate to
areas of concern.
. 'ELSBL:Rt3 Page 4
ell
Weld County Roadway Classification Study Exhibit A
4.2.4 Recommend a set of typical roadway sections which would safely and
efficiently handle expected traffic volumes, would maintain the character
desired by the County, and would be cost-effective to implement. It is
anticipated that different sections may need to be developed for rural and for
developing areas. Policies and standards for "new construction" versus
"rehabilitation" projects may also be necessary. Prepare these sections as a
set of illustrations which could be used with the County's subdivision
regulations.
Subtask 4.3 Design Standards
The same process as just defined for the typical sections would also be followed to
establish a set of primary design standards for the various roadway classifications.
Elements would include such factors as design speed, grades, curvature, etc.
Subtask 4.4 Access Management Guidelines
4.4.1 Based on the objectives of the County and on the desired function of each
roadway classification, prepare a set of general access management
guidelines which define the principles of access management for each
classification category.These guidelines will deal with issues such as number
of accesses per property, spacing, turn restrictions, signal spacing, etc.
4.4.2 Prepare a separate technical memorandum summarizing these guidelines in
a format which could readily be provided to the development community
when they are beginning to plan a project.
Subtask 4.5 Bicycle Facilities Plan
4.5.1 Working with County staff, establish objectives for the provision of bicycle
facilities on the County road system. Coordinate these objectives with the
local entities in the county and with special interest contacts identified by the
County.
4.5.2 With these objectives in mind, expand the existing facilities into a bicycle
route plan for the county.
4.5.3 Develop appropriate design standards for these bicycle facilities and
incorporate them into the typical roadway sections.

Task 5 - Draft Study Documents
All of the materials developed in Task 4 will be prepared into a draft set of documents,which will primarily
include tables, charts, and graphic illustrations. Supporting text will also be provided to ensure an
understanding of the process used to develop these materials and an awareness of how they are to he used.
'These draft documents will be reviewed by appropriate staff and policy-makers and by the general public
before they are finalized.
Task 6 - Public Outreach Program
The purpose of the public outreach program is to provide an opportunity for citizens and special
interest groups to become involved in the process of establishing the plan, the standards, and the
guidelines.
Subtask 6.1 Compile a mailing list of individuals who have expressed interest in transportation
issues through previous planning studies. With the help of the County staff, expand
this mailing list to include individuals or groups who also are likely to be interested
in this particular issue (such as the development community). This list will be used
to announce public open houses or other meetings.
Subtask 6.2 Conduct at least eight (8)public open houses or meetings to present information to
the public,and more importantly,to obtain feedback on preliminary materials. These
sessions would be held at varied locations throughout the county and could be held
in conjunction with other regularly scheduled meetings such as the monthly mayor's
group meetings.It is envisioned that some of these open houses would be held during
the early development of the elements of the plan, and that a greater number of them
would be held when the draft study documents have been prepared. It may be
appropriate to focus one such session primarily on the development community
Subtask 6.3 Make draft study documents available for public review at a number of public
facilities throughout the county.
Subtask 6.4 Maintain an "open door"policy through which any interested person or group can
discuss the study with a member of the consulting team.

Weld County Roadway Classification Study Exhibit A
Task 7 - Review and Approval Process
AU interim materials will be reviewed with County staff on a regular basis. In addition, informal
reviews with staffs of the local entities should be conducted as appropriate. Two study sessions with
the Board of County Commissioners are planned:
One session near the beginning of the development of the five elements of the plan to obtain
some overall direction.
Mother session when the draft study documents have been prepared.
It is anticipated that the recommendations of the study would finally be approved at a public hearing
before the Board of County Commissioners.
Task 8 - Final Study Documents
After the draft study documents have been reviewed with the public and with the Board o f County
Commissioners,they will be revised as appropriate and will be published in a format established by
the Director of Public Works.
