II. General Project Description Weld County is planning to create a Safety Action Plan for unincorporated Weld County utilizing consulting services. Weld County has been awarded a grant for Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) in the amount of $400,000 to help fund the study. Weld County will contribute $100,000 in local match to fund the study for a total project budget of $500,000. III. Scope of Services The Consultant will perform services to assist Weld County in developing a Safety Action Plan. The plan development process will include collaborating with county staff and conducting public outreach to stakeholders. The Safety Action Plan aims to improve roadway safety by developing a comprehensive safety action plan based on a Safe System Approach and implementing projects and strategies that significantly reduce or eliminate transportation -related fatalities and serious injury accidents and is part of the federal and state efforts toward an ambitious long-term goal of reaching zero roadway fatalities. The selected Consultant will perform tasks for which they must demonstrate qualifications. Consultants shall clearly demonstrate their knowledge and capabilities regarding the Safety Action Plan development services described. Work is to be conducted in close coordination with County staff through the Project Manager. Such work may include: 1. Coordinate and manage project team needs; including planning of team meetings, providing direction to team members, and monthly invoicing. 2. Schedule a project kick-off meeting with the Consultant team, county staff, and stakeholder group. This kick-off meeting will define the roles of the participants, go over the schedule, set future meetings, and review the scope of work. During this kick-off meeting, the Consultant will be expected to schedule bi-weekly meetings to review progress and coordinate upcoming tasks with the Project Manager. 3. Analyze existing conditions and historical trends which will provide a baseline level of crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries across unincorporated Weld County. This analysis shall include locations where there are crashes and the severity of the crashes, as well as contributing factors and crash types by relevant road users (motorists, pedestrians, transit users, etc.). Analysis of systemic and specific safety needs shall also be performed, as needed (e.g., high -risk road features, specific safety needs of relevant road users, public health approaches, analysis of the built environment, demographics, and structural issues). To the extent practical, the analysis should include all public roadways within unincorporated Weld County, without regard to ownership. This Page 1 Exhibit A roadway network will include CDOT state highways. Based on the analysis performed, a geospatial identification of higher -risk locations shall be developed (a high -injury network or equivalent). 4. A plan for robust engagement with the public and relevant stakeholders, including the private sector and community groups, that allows for both community representation and feedback. Information received from these engagements and collaborations shall be analyzed and incorporated into the Safety Action Plan. Overlapping jurisdictions shall be included in the process. Plans and processes shall be coordinated and aligned with other governmental plans and planning processes to the extent practicable. At a minimum, engagement will include residents of Weld County, municipalities within Weld County, CDOT, North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization, and Denver Regional Council of Government staff. 5. Plan to host at least two public meetings as part of the Safety Action Plan. These meetings will be designed to update the public on the safety analysis, communicate the final solutions considered, and seek input on the solutions. In addition to the public meetings, the Consultant will gather public input through a detailed survey, and through an interactive comment map. 6. Build an engaging project website. The website will be used to host surveys and to provide information to municipalities, businesses, residents, and other interested stakeholders. The website shall include an interactive comment map that will allow collection of input at specific locations. 7. The Consultant shall establish a process and create a publicly accessible tracking mechanism, in the form of a dashboard or other appropriate format, as a means to monitor safety outcomes and evaluate what safety measures are most effective throughout unincorporated Weld County. The Consultant shall also develop a safety toolkit with graphic visualizations that illustrate safety countermeasures, context -sensitive design solutions, and user educational components tailored for the county. 8. Plan development using inclusive and representative processes. Underserved communities shall be identified through data and other analyses in collaboration with appropriate partners. Analysis shall include both population characteristics and initial equity impact assessments of the proposed projects and strategies. 9. The Consultant shall assess current policies, plans, guidelines, and/or standards (e.g., manuals) to identify opportunities to improve how processes prioritize transportation safety. The Safety Action Plan shall discus implementation through the adoption of revised or new policies, guidelines, and/or standards, as appropriate. 10. The plan shall identify a comprehensive set of projects and strategies shaped by data, the best available evidence, noteworthy practices, stakeholder input, and equity considerations that will address the safety problems described in the Action Plan. These strategies and countermeasures shall focus on a Safe System Approach and effective interventions and consider multidisciplinary activities. To the extent practicable, data limitations shall be identified and mitigated. Once identified, the projects and strategies shall be prioritized in a list that provides time ranges for when the strategies and countermeasures will be deployed (e.g., short-, mid-, and long-term timeframes).

Both parties to this Agreement understand and agree that the laws of the State of Colorado prohibit County from entering into Agreements which bind County for periods longer than one year.

CONTRACT PROFESSIONAL: By: Date Name: Title: WELD COUNTY: ATTEST: Weld County Clerk to the Board BY: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY, COLORADO Deputy Clerk to the Board Kevin D. Ross, Chair Page 15 Exhibit A EXHIBIT B Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services NNS, i PROJECT OVERVIEW To accomplish the goal of Safe Streets for All (SS4A) - eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries for all road users - Weld County, Colorado, is developing a Safety Action Plan ("SAP"). Based on the Safe System Approach, the SAP will: • Incorporate community and stakeholder input • Outline the contributing factors in fatal and serious injury traffic crashes using public input and a data -driven analysis • Recommend strategies and policies • Include guidance for the responsible parties and the County departments to help them implement the strategies and policies The SAP will build on past work by Weld County related to the analysis of existing conditions (including demographic information, crash data, existing transportation network, street typologies, traffic volumes. Community asset inventory, and travel patterns), priority corridor information, and vision, master street plan, multi -modal network data, and proposed measures. It should be noted that Weld County is likely already working on projects that support the Safety Action Plan outcomes. This project will include the following tasks: 1. Project Management/Organization 2. Data Collection and Review 3. Safety Analysis 4. Public Outreach and Feedback Collection 5. Safety Action Plan Elements 6. Ongoing Measure of Progress TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT/ORGANIZATION WSP uses many tools to facilitate successful project management and will follow our processes as specified by our ISO 9001:2015 certification. This includes the creation of a Project Management Plan. All work products and deliverables provided to Weld County will undergo our Quality Assurance/Quality Control Process (QA/QC). This process works so that all deliverables are checked, verified, corrected, and rechecked by different individuals to put forth the highest quality products, analyses, and documents. KICKOFF MEETING & PROGRESS MEETINGS As part of this task, a project kick-off meeting with key County staff will be held. At this kickoff meeting, the team will discuss project management processes, key staff, key stakeholders, and project scope, schedule, and budget. The WSP project manager will act as the single point of contact for County staff on the project and provide regular communications to the staff. In bi-weekly team meetings, county staff will be updated on the project schedule, scope, and budget. SAFETY TASK FORCE Weld County will coordinate and facilitate the creation of a Safety Task Force (i.e., "Stakeholder Group") with support from WSP to create materials, present topics, take notes, and follow up on action items. Our team, with the help of the Safety Task Force (STF), will finalize emphasis areas that will aid in the selection of safety countermeasures. WSP and County staff will collaboratively identify key stakeholders to include on the STF, incorporating a diverse set of stakeholder representatives, such as city governments, public schools, community groups, county departments, and area transportation agencies. Upon identification of the STF members, it is assumed Weld County will coordinate meetings, communications, and other outreach with the STF members. This STF will provide continuous input and guidance throughout the planning process, including August 9, 2024 Exhibit B Page 1 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services US i WY's! identifying appropriate safety countermeasures. WSP will assist the STF through in -person meeting facilitation and coordinating materials and documentation with appropriate support from County staff. WSP will provide notes and summaries of the STF meetings. WSP will coordinate up to three (3) STF meetings throughout the 12 - month plan process. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS (BOCC) MEETINGS WSP will host a work session meeting with the Weld County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) as the Safety Action Plan is developed; once a draft of the Action Plan is completed, WSP will present the draft to the BOCC and receive input and participate in meetings (in person or remotely) throughout the review process. Additionally, WSP will deliver the findings of the Safety Action Plan to the BOCC and the Weld County Planning Commission to gain an official public commitment to an eventual goal of zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries. The commitment will include a goal and timeline for eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries achieved through one or both of the following: • (1) A target date for achieving zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries, OR • (2) An ambitious percentage reduction of roadway fatalities and serious injuries by a specific date with an eventual goal of eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries. TASK 1 DELIVERABLES • Project Management Plan • Internal Kickoff Meeting (5 WSP staff, 2 hours, in -person) • Up to 18 Bi-weekly Progress Meetings (3 WSP staff, 30 minutes each, virtual) • BOCC Meetings — Work Session (3 WSP staff, 2 hours, hybrid) Present Draft SAP (3 WSP staff, 2 hours, hybrid) Planning Commission Work Session (3 WSP staff, 2 hours, hybrid) • Safety Task Force Meetings — Kickoff Meeting (3 WSP staff, 1.5 hours, hybrid) Present Draft SAP (3 WSP staff, 1.5 hours, hybrid) Present Final SAP (3 WSP staff, 1.5 hours, hybrid) TASK 2: DATA COLLECTION AND REVIEW DATA INVENTORY COLLECTION, AND CLEANING Based on its extensive experience working on Safety Action Plans and knowledge of local, state, national, and third-party/proprietary data sources, WSP will develop a matrix of data sources to be collected that includes all of unincorporated Weld County and municipalities in Weld County that do not already have their own SS4A plan completed, in -process, or anticipated. Our team will collaborate with Weld County staff to identify the most recent and appropriate data sources. Typically, these sources and types of data include: • Crash Data: Crash data is derived from crash reports made by law enforcement officers. States have a standardized crash form that is updated periodically to improve reporting and analysis. Crash data is stored in a relational database with several tables, allowing for complex data representation. When the public or outside agencies request crash data from state departments of transportation like CDOT, the data is typically simplified into a single data table with summarized information. • Roadway Attribute Data: Roadway attribute data contains information on the design and characteristics of the existing roadway. This data is typically represented in a GIS system and can come from one or multiple sources. Roadway attributes such as the functional class, width of the road, number of through lanes and turn lanes, shoulder characteristics, speed limits, presence and type of medians, access to the roadway, intersection characteristics, and other data can all provide meaningful context into the crashes August 9, 2024 Exhibit B Page 2 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services NNNI) happening within a particular area. Our team has extensive experience with conflating multiple data sources and GIS networks into a single feature for meaningful data analysis. Sources like the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) include a strong base for this data throughout the country, but there is often more up-to-date and complete information available from local jurisdictions. Third party sources such as Replica and OpenStreetMap can also supplement official data sources. ■ Demographic, Land Use, and Contextual Data: These data sources help characterize the area and needs of a diverse community served by the transportation system, which are especially important for safety analysis. For example, the same roadway characteristics that may be relatively safe in an environment where there is limited pedestrian activity can be quite unsafe in an environment with more people waking. WSP will use data from the US Census, land use data, point of interest data, and data from Replica to understand how diverse community characteristics impact safety outcomes. SURVEY DEVELOPMENT WSP will develop a survey for county and other public agency staff to understand attitudes and knowledge related to safety issues. A similar, abbreviated survey can also be administered to a public, non -technical audience. In addition to allowing for opportunities for unstructured comments, the survey will feature "Likert" style ratings of various statements and priorities, enabling a quantitative analysis of survey responses. Demographic data should also be collected to help understand the representativeness of the survey sample. DATA DELI VER YAND HOSTING Once all data has been collected, reviewed, and cleaned, WSP will provide data to Weld County in a File Geodatabase format (or as individual shapefiles, at the direction of Weld County). WSP will also host these layers in its ArcGIS Online environment for the project's duration. Esri's web viewer and Instant app will quickly visualize data sources to share with staff, stakeholders, and the public in coordination with public involvement efforts. WSP will help coordinate with Weld County staff to smooth the transition to the County website hosting the data. TASK2 DELIVERABLES • Data Inventory Evaluation Matrix ■ Compiled Data Sources (organized by original source) ■ EDA and Data Quality Review ■ Survey Coordination (staff/stakeholder; public) • Cleaned Data Sources (GIS Geodatabase or Shapefiles, ArcGIS Online Web -Hosted Layers / Web Map) TASK 3: SAFETY ANALYSIS WSP will utilize the existing GIS and database assets from County staff to identify data insights into the state of safety in un-incorporated Weld County and municipalities in Weld County that do not have a completed SS4A plan, one in -process, or one that is anticipated. All data analysis will be conducted on fatal and injury crashes only. No analysis of property damage crashes will be performed. Recognizing the breadth and comprehensive nature of this county -wide initiative, it is important to underscore that this effort is a planning -level analysis and will focus on the bigger -picture overview of data. The analysis will not be conducted to the same level that an engineering crash data analysis may be conducted on an individual intersection or corridor. This effort will consist of the following elements: 1. Existing Best Practices Document Review - WSP will follow FHWA Guidelines for an in the development of the Weld County SAP. WSP will review Safety Action Plans from up to five (5) peer communities for information and considerations to be included in the Weld County SAP. In addition, WSP will search for relevant literature and best practices from other states, counties, or cities. Emphasis will be placed on sources related to data -driven, analytical, and equitable approaches to safety planning. Key findings of the included literature will be summarized and used to guide the August 9, 2024 Exhibit B Page 3 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services NNS I subsequent tasks. Best practices identified across the sources will be distilled and synthesized as recommendations for consideration of changes to existing policies, laws, and ordinances. 2. Plans Review - WSP will review relevant safety/transportation plans in Colorado and the Weld County Area, such as the Colorado Strategic Transportation Safety Plan (STSP), and any local/regional bicycle or pedestrian master plans. WSP will also review existing County policies, processes, laws, and ordinances relevant to transportation safety, including but not limited to traffic enforcement, complete streets, traffic calming, crosswalks, project -level safety analysis, etc. WSP will also search for relevant County ordinances or State laws related to the implementation of safety treatments, such as changing speed limits and utilizing automated enforcement. These plans, ordinances, and laws will be reviewed and summarized in relation to this project. An analysis of safety funding programs related to the implementation of safety treatments in the plans, such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program and the Safe Streets and Roads for All, will be reviewed. Relevant information on safety initiatives, safety targets and performance measures, safety issues, legal constraints, and funding opportunities will be included in the summaries. 3. Crash Mapping - WSP will map the frequency of crashes and crash rates blocks, block groups, or tracts identified by the U.S. Census Bureau. Normalizing factors, including population, roadway miles, vehicle miles traveled, and walking and biking rates, will be used for the calculation of crash rates. Additionally, WSP will develop a high injury area (HIA) by normalizing crashes based on a variety of demographic and mobility factors such as population, employment, roadway miles, and multimodal traffic volumes. Replica data will be leveraged to identify areas that have a higher or lower risk for various users based on the number of crashes per trip (whether the trip is walking, biking, or driving), allowing Weld County to tailor and target their outreach and treatment efforts. 4. Crash Trends Analysis - WSP will create a summary statistics analysis of Weld County crashes. This effort will focus on using the crash database provided by the County. Data will be organized into charts and key takeaways to supplement Weld County staffs existing work. This analysis will be used to identify highly impacted road users, contributing circumstances, crash types, and changes over time to these factors. 5. Systemic Analysis - WSP will utilize the county street segment database incorporating roadway characteristics and land use context to perform a systemic analysis. The analysis will create a representation ratio for each element analyzed that identifies the relative proportion of crashes related to that element compared to the relative proportion of roadway miles that each element represents on the network. 6. Equity Analysis - As part of the SS4A program, an equity analysis will be conducted to document the population characteristics of the study area and understand whether identified Environmental Justice (EJ)/Justice40 populations are disproportionately impacted by safety risks. For each of these population areas, WSP will assess whether crash history or crash risk is disproportionate in comparison to the region as a whole or applicable area. WSP will evaluate the effectiveness of current safety measures in addressing the needs of these communities and identify and document any gaps or areas for improvement. 7. High Risk Network Development - After risk factors are identified as part of the systemic analysis, WSP will develop scoring criteria to be assigned to elements that contribute to high -risk corridors, including elements like land use context, equity emphasis areas, and infrastructure features. These criteria will be used to identify high -risk corridors and a high -risk network of roads. 8. High Injury Network Development - The high injury network (HIN) will be developed in a two -stage process. The first will identify high -crash intersections and high -crash roadway segments that are in the top percentiles for crashes per mile. WSP will then create the HIN based that logically encompasses August 4, 2024 Exhibit B Page 4 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services WS, 1) the high injury intersections and segments. Summary statistics on the HIN will be performed to identify what percentage of crashes occurred on the HIN and what proportion of roadway miles the HIN represents compared to all roadway miles in Weld County. 9. "White Papers" Informational Sheets - Following the conclusion of the data analysis, WSP will develop 3-5 "white papers" informational memorandums that will summarize key results to support outreach efforts. These informational sheets will be 1-2 pages in length each providing relevant information and creation of graphics to help promote safety recommendations and community buy -in. WSP will incorporate all the data analysis elements into the SAP to support and justify the actions identified in the plan. The data will be used throughout the public engagement activities and with coordination to illustrate the crash issues in Weld County. The data analysis will be used to support the countermeasure selection and prioritization model. All analysis will be performed using Microsoft Excel, R. Studio, ArcGIS, or other software as appropriate. Final analysis files will be delivered to County staff in a spreadsheet, database, and/or geodatabase format. TASK 3 DELIVERABLES ■ Best practices, literature, and relevant plans ■ Policy & Process Review Memo ■ Crash Mapping & High Injury Areas (HIAs) ■ Crash Trends Analysis ■ Systemic Analysis ■ Equity Analysis ■ High Risk Network map ■ High Injury Network map ■ "White Papers" informational memorandums TASK 4: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND FEEDBACK COLLECTION WSP will provide public outreach and feedback collection services, and the following list provides a high-level scope of engagement strategies, tools, tactics for use with members of the public, community -based agencies and organizations, stakeholders, and local businesses. Through facilitated coordination with county staff and elected officials, the feedback gathered through this process will help inform SAP. WSP will coordinate internal and external engagement meetings, communication, and facilitation with the support and guidance of county staff. WSP will work with Weld County on all traditional and social media elements of the community engagement efforts, the general steps of which include: ■ PLANNING the public engagement, ■ IDENTIFYING key audiences, who include members of the public and stakeholders, ■ ASSESSING level of impact among key audiences and determining levels of engagement, ■ DETERMINING appropriate engagement methods, ■ DEVELOPING project broadcasting, key messages, and communications templates and materials, ■ ACQUIRING necessary resources and collaboration partners (e.g., Safety Task Force), ■ DELIVERY of public engagement activities to inform and capture feedback, input, and responses, ■ ANALYSING the feedback, input, and responses, which may include discerning values and priorities, ■ INTEGRATING technical information, data, and research into engagement materials and messaging, and ■ EVALUATING the process and continuing to advance engagement efforts with refinements, as needed. WSP will prioritize equitable processes and outcomes, engage with the community in meaningful, accessible, culturally relevant ways, and support involvement by respected community leaders and influencers. WSP will make efforts to reach out to marginalized and historically under -represented communities throughout the public engagement process. All public outreach will be provided in English language material, with the specific items of the Project Fact Sheet with FAQs and Open House Postcard invitations provided in Spanish as required. Web assets may also be offered in Spanish via an auto -translation tool. For the Open House Public Meeting, in - person Spanish translation and in -person American Sign Language translation may be provided as needed/requested. August 9, 2024 Exhibit B Page 5 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services NNS I As WSP delivers the engagement activities to inform key audiences of the broad issues facing the community resulting from traffic deaths and serious injuries, we are also receiving feedback, input, and responses that help us assess values, priorities, vision, and inform the public. Facilitated community outreach events and the Open House Public Meetings are typical methods to engage key audiences with the planning team and County staff to inform the SAP. WSP will provide: 1. Public Engagement Plan. WSP will outline the engagement activities in the Public Engagement Plan (PEP), which will incorporate all communications activities and public information anticipated throughout the lifecycle of the project, including support for the Safety Task Force and Board of County Commissioners engagement processes. This plan will also include initial Key Messages for use by the County and team. How we talk about traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries is significant. A. Master Planning Workbook - As part of the PEP, WSP will develop a Master Planning Workbook, which will include the overall project management schedule of milestones that highlights public outreach and feedback collection activities, a social media planner for post, text, graphics, and scheduling, a key audiences contact list developed in collaboration with the County, and a comment library that our team will maintain with the County to document public feedback and community input that is captured throughout the SAP process. B. Social Media - As part of the PEP, WSP will develop a Social Media Subplan that will outline the channels for use, the timing by month, topics, and tactics that will be used. This social media strategy will be augmented by a calendar of posts with associated text and graphics that WSP will organize for Community Outreach Events and the Open House Public Meeting. WSP will provide copy text and imagery for these social posts, which will be posted on existing county social media accounts. i. WSP will coordinate with the Weld County communications team for social media launch and ongoing outreach. WSP will not provide new social media accounts for the project and will rely on County staff to post all posts on existing social media accounts. ii. Written content will be in Microsoft Word format; visual content will be digital imagery. iii. WSP will provide content for the County to post. Up to fifty (50) posts will be prepared for X (FKA Twitter) and Facebook throughout the planning process. County staff will be responsible for monitoring the County's social media accounts and coordinating with WSP for any necessary responses or clarifications to posts. C. Contact Lists and Correspondence - As part of the PEP and Master Planning Workbook, WSP will work to gather a comprehensive database of key audiences, including stakeholders, partner organizations, and members of the public, identifying those to engage during the SAP process. WSP will develop and maintain a mailing list for use during the project that will contain up to fifty (50) community groups, interested residents, agencies, local officials, and state elected officials. Key stakeholders and public officials will be identified appropriately on this list. Also, all interested parties will be encouraged to add their names to an e -mailing list made available on the project website. County staff will share existing, relevant project mailing lists and e - mailing lists with WSP- as appropriate- to seed the key audience database. All official email correspondence will be sent from County staff and directed to County staff for public feedback. County staff will forward all communication to WSP for review and input, as necessary. 2. Project Identity and Templates. WSP will develop a project logo and associated branding guidelines that compliment current County assets. WSP will use these branding guidelines to develop project templates, including a project fact sheet with FAQs, e -blast, stickers, and PowerPoint presentations. A. Fact Sheet with FAQs - This digital and printed item will provide information about traffic August 9, 2024 Exhibit B Page 6 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services S i safety in Weld County, general SS4A information, the SAP plan process and ways to engage. B. PowerPoint Deck/Presentation - This template can be tailored for all project meetings and presentations, including Safety Task Force and BOCC meetings, Community Outreach Events, and the Open House Public Meeting. 3. Project Website. WSP, with support from the County, will develop an interactive project website. The website may be a subsite on the County's existing website, or a standalone website hosted on the Social Pinpoint platform (and linked from the County's existing website) used to engage and inform the public regarding SAP efforts. This website will serve as the portal for all project information and contain all publicly available material including data, meeting summaries, public meeting presentation and materials, and the eventual SAP. It will also promote Pop -Up and Open House Public Meeting events, include key milestones, provide informational materials, and supplement social media. The project website will be tailored to educate the public on the issues related to the SAP and the need that all responsible parties can take to improve safety in Weld County. The website also will serve as the hub for all information beyond the development of the SAP and into the future through implementation or priority projects. To help learn the importance safety plays in Weld County's transportation system, and better understand the challenges each area of the community has regarding transportation safety, WSP will implement: A. Up to three (3) online surveys. Survey content will be developed with input from the Safety Task Force and County staff to share through digital outreach by WSP and during Community Outreach Events related to community priorities and emphasis areas. WSP will develop the survey content and summarize results for use in informing the SAP. B. An online crowdsource engagement map tool for the public to identify areas of concern and opportunity throughout the community. WSP will use the engagement map tool provided through the Social Pinpoint platform. Map feedback will be used to help guide the SAP. 4. Media Relations. WSP will assist County staff in their exchange with local news media outlets and trade publications as needed. WSP will review and support the development of news releases, media advisories, and supporting material for news media outlets. Items that may also be shared with journalists include the project fact sheet with FAQs, the project website with survey(s)/engagement map, and presentations. 5. Community Outreach Meetings and Events. WSP will coordinate and implement community outreach meetings and pop-up events, which may be held at existing events or high -activity locations such as community centers, festivals, fairs, libraries, farmers markets, grocery stores, or coffee shops. WSP will organize the set-up of project tables/booths to share information and capture sign-ups / map inputs. Up to ten (10) community outreach meetings and events will be held, up to two (2) hours in duration each. 6. Open House Public Meetings. WSP will coordinate, plan, host, and facilitate three (3) Open House Public Meetings. Two (2) of these open houses will be held as in -person meetings (at north and south locations in the county), and one (1) open house will be offered as a virtual meeting, and all three (3) will take place during the same week. Open House planning documents will include a briefing guide/run-of- show, deliverables schedule, room layout for the in -person meetings, board guide, and talking points. WSP will be responsible for scheduling the open houses in coordination with county staff and the larger project team. WSP will pay for all refreshment costs for the in -person meetings and include in direct expenses. WSP will prepare and place a public advertisement about the open houses in print and digital publications. WSP will post open house materials to the project web assets at the time of the events and solicit public comment through an online form for up to two (2) weeks afterward. The open houses will present the initial recommendations of the SAP for review, discussion, and comments. These meetings will provide an overview of the planning process, statistics and research learned, implementable safety August 9, 2024 Exhibit B Page 7 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services NNS I features to address public and stakeholder concerns and seek input from the community. Participants will learn of the SAP and share their feedback (values, priorities, and proposed improvements) on the ongoing development of the SAP (its process, safety information, and statistics). 7. Engagement Summary. After the Open House Public Meetings, WSP will summarize all public outreach and feedback collection. This information - along with the input from all of the other public involvement activities and feedback from the project website throughout the entire project - will be used to inform the SAP, as well as update any materials used for future engagement related to the SAP and its recommendations. 8. Engagement Coordination, Documentation and Management. Our team will attend monthly internal public engagement coordination meetings and contribute to discussions on project status, provide consultation and receive feedback from the larger project team to ensure timely delivery of public outreach and feedback collection work products. We will document all outreach and engagement efforts, as well as track project activities and coordinate with key personnel to meet project milestones. TASK 4 DELIVERABLES ■ Develop the Public Engagement Plan, including a Social Media Subplan and Master Planning Workbook: — Overall project management schedule of milestones/public outreach and feedback collection activities — Social media planner for post text, graphics, and scheduling — Key audience contact list developed in collaboration with the County — Comment library that our team will maintain with the County to document all collected feedback ■ Create project branding materials, which may include a logo and templates (e.g., stickers, fact sheet) ■ Establish project web assets, which may include a County webpage and/or standalone project website ■ Develop up to 3 online survey(s) and 1 interactive engagement map, which live on the project website ■ Provide Media Relations support as needed, including review and development support of materials ■ Plan and implement up to ten (10) Community Outreach Events and three (3) Open House Public Meetings (two (2) of these open houses will be held as in -person meetings (at north and south county locations), and one (1) open house will be offered as a virtual meeting; all three (3) will take place during the same week) ■ Develop a Public Engagement Summary for the SAP ■ Convene monthly internal public engagement coordination meetings, document all outreach and engagement efforts, and track activities, as well as coordinate to manage project milestones ■ Support Safety Task Force and Board of County Commissioners meetings TASK 5: SAFETY ACTION PLAN ELEMENTS STRA TEG Y DEVELOPMENT In developing recommended strategies and implementation actions, WSP will coordinate with the Weld County Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and existing plans identified and reviewed in Task 3. Our approach to strategy development will include three key elements, which will be developed throughout the process using the STF and public engagement efforts as a guide. All recommendations will have a geographic focus on unincorporated Weld County and municipalities in Weld County that do not have a complete SS4A plan, are in process, or one that is anticipated. These steps are: ■ Emphasis Area Identification Our team will present the data analysis results and suggested emphasis areas to the STF for their feedback in finalizing emphasis areas. Emphasis areas will follow a similar framework to the Colorado STSP but may differ based on specific Weld County issues. ■ Countermeasure Identification for Emphasis Areas August 9, 2024 Exhibit B Page 8 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services NNW After emphasis areas have been developed, our team will work with the STF to identify appropriate countermeasures. The focus will principally be on engineering countermeasures and reference the FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures and the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual guidance, along with best practice recommendations from the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), and others. We will identify educational or enforcement strategies that can be executed as part of this project or by Weld County staff. ■ Development of Long- and Short -Term Targets Our team will work with the STF and BOCC to develop useful, viable, and achievable targets. — The long-term targets will focus on the overall reduction of fatal and serious injury crashes. They may provide more emphasis on specific demographic groups such as minorities or younger/older users. The short-term targets will focus on implementation activities that will lead to a reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes. IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS It is critical that a strong implementation plan be developed for the Weld County Safety Action Plan. Implementation and prioritization are typically the most difficult topics to overcome in the Safe Streets for All discussion, as they involve funding allocations. In many jurisdictions, Weld County included, fatal and serious injury traffic crashes are not equally distributed throughout the community. To achieve zero fatalities, funding must be allocated to the locations where the greatest crash reduction can be generated. This can leave some residents and businesses throughout the community feeling as if they are being "short changed" when they do not see projects being implemented in their neighborhoods. In addition to managing the messaging and being sensitive to the concerns of the community and decision makers, our team will apply the following concepts to aid in smooth implementation discussions: ■ Prioritization Model: We will rely on our data -driven approach to develop a systematic prioritization model for project recommendations. This prioritization model will help objectively identify projects and discuss the varying levels of needs in different areas of the county. ■ Action Steps and Responsible Party Designation: To achieve the Safety Action Plan, specific action steps are needed. These may identify specific corridors for improvements, systemic improvements to be undertaken county -wide, educational campaigns, policy updates, or targeted enforcement efforts. Each of these action steps will be identified with the responsible party noted including the department or the official responsible for following up on implementation. ■ Design Guidelines: To aid Weld County staff in implementing the Safety Action Plan recommendations, our team will explore updates needed to the Weld County's road design guides, taking a context sensitive Safety Action Plan and complete street approach to design guidelines. This guideline will give specific recommendations to which countermeasures are most appropriate on what kinds of streets and in which contexts. SAFETY ACTION PLAN DOCUMENT After this work is completed, our team will produce an Action Plan document detailing all these elements. Our team will also create an interactive website using ArcGIS Story Map integrated into the Weld County website. WSP will produce a Safety Action Plan (SAP) document detailing all these elements outlined in this scope of services. This document will be produced as a print equivalent PDF plan document. The plan will incorporate all the information from the data analysis, engagement, plan reviews, and implementation plan. The document will summarize all tasks undertaken, including an executive summary, stakeholder and public engagement, data analysis, emphasis areas (such as dedicated solutions near school zones), countermeasures from the Safe Systems Toolbox, and the phased implementation plan. August 9.2024 Exhibit B Page 9 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services i Each section of the document will be delivered in memorandum format as they are produced, using previous experience in the creation of several plans compliant with the SS4A grant requirements and then combined into a single document at the end of the process. One draft and one final version of each of these documents will be provided. WSP will propose a plan outline and format that closely mirrors the SS4A SAP Self - Certification checklist. WSP will also deliver this plan as an interactive document or dashboard website built by WSP. This website will be interactive with navigational links for easier use of the document and dynamic maps and charts. TASK 5 DELIVERABLES • Safe System Toolbox Practitioner's Guide • Short- and Long-term Targets • Project Prioritization • Phased Implementation Plan • Action Plan Document TASK 6: ONGOING MEASURE OF PROGRESS Progress monitoring and transparency are a key component of all Safety Action Plans. WSP will work with Weld County and its partners to develop a robust but accessible measurement framework for safety within the county. Safety metrics should include both outcome -related metrics (i.e. the number of fatal and serious injury crashes, or a fatal and serious injury crash rate) as well as metrics that track implementation activities (i.e. the number and location of safety projects). WEB -BASED DASHBOARD A simple web -based dashboard using ArcGIS Online, or an embedded GIS map within the Weld County's website, would help provide transparency. WSP will produce a dashboard that includes GIS layers developed for the safety analysis (like the High Injury Network) as well as layers and a schema for tracking crash outcomes and safety projects. WSP will populate these new layers with real examples that can be edited and added upon by Weld County GIS staff. Our team will transfer the dashboard and content to the Weld County ArcGIS Online organization, produce documentation guiding users through the dashboard update process, and provide up to one virtual training session for Weld County GIS staff. MONITORING The short-term and long-term targets identified in the strategy development phase should be continuously monitored. Monitoring these targets can help the county identify whether implementation is moving forward and whether strategies are having an impact. This monitoring will be automated and displayed using ArcGIS Dashboards. These could be configured to be public -facing or internal based on the preferences of the Weld County staff, STF members, and the BOCC. At a minimum, it is recommended that a publicly available yearly report be produced describing the state of safety in Weld County. Our team can provide recommendations on report format and data for ongoing updates. TASK 6 DELIVERABLES • Online Dashboard / Web Map • Document and Training of Monitoring Dashboard August 9, 2024 Exhibit B Page 10 Weld County SAP WSP USA Scope of Services NNSI PROJECT SCHEDULE We understand the importance of delivering this project by November 2025. This schedule gives adequate time to accomplish the tasks set out in this proposal; with a project of this size and the coordination that will be required, it will be necessary to promptly establish a Safety Task Force, communicate with the BOCC, and reach out to local jurisdictions. Early outreach to stakeholders will also be essential to achieving the necessary support for the recommendations and plan. WSP's experience in the area and Myron Flora's (Ulteig) established relationships and local knowledge will allow our team to hit the ground running. Additionally, prompt data delivery will be essential to the project's success. Our team's familiarity with the safety data system will allow smooth coordination and prompt delivery of tasks.

This Safety Action Plan (SAP) will be another key element for progress and will help the County and your planning partners stay on the leading edge of transportation safety development. Traffic crashes are the number one cause of death of young people ages five to 29 years old in the United States and a top cause of death for all other age groups. Weld County has one of the highest fatality rates in the state for the traveling public. So far 19 people have died in Weld County this year, and 260 people have been killed in car crashes in Weld County during the past five years. These are our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, daughters and sons. There are very few people in our society who have not been affected by fatal or serious injury traffic crashes. We need to do whatever we can to reduce these numbers and devastating effects to people. Executing the bold vision of this project requires a partner with the depth of knowledge, expertise, community understanding, and storytelling ability to convey the impact that traffic fatalities have on all of us. This WSP USA Inc. (WSP) team has been carefully assembled to provide just that and more, having worked on SAPs for municipalities and in regional communities across the nation. WSP will lead this team and provide a project approach based on its proven national and international SAP accomplishments. Project partner Ulteig Engineers, Inc. (Ulteig) brings a history of local knowledge of the County and data expertise. Our team's project manager, Tim Adams, PE, PTOE, RSP,, brings his deep passion for safety planning and extensive experience to lead the team. He has a history of developing SAPs, along with corridor studies and traffic studies focused on advancing traffic safety at a more granular level. Tim and our other WSP team members have worked on Safety Action Plans across the nation. Myron Hora joins Tim as deputy project manager. Myron is a lifelong resident of Weld County and brings his local knowledge of the community and proven ability to establish trust -based relationships through the SAP process. This combination of national knowledge and expertise, blended with local experience and understanding results in a process and plan tailored to Weld County. Steff Hedenkamp, a Vision Zero and Safe Streets engagement specialist, is the team leader for Public Outreach and Feedback Collection. This safety plan will catalyze positive change in weld County. Our team is dedicated to safety and has the planning and implementation expertise required for success. We are proud to present our team's approach in this proposal and look forward to providing additional details in an interview. if you have any questions or want to discuss our qualifications and approach, please do not hesitate to contact me at (303) 244-8297 or john.rohnert wsp.com .

The city of Leavenworth is focused on fatal and serious injury crashes involving Speed, Vulnerable Road Users (pedestrians and bicyclists), Signalized Intersections, Arterial Streets, Young Drivers, and Impaired / Distracted Driving. We found that 69% of the fatal and serious injury crashes occurred on only 9% of the streets in the city of Leavenworth. A project website was established which allowed the public to learn about Vision Zero, learn about the focus and schedule of the project, participate in several survey questions and provide input on a pin - map of the city regarding concerns they have involving Driving, Walking, Biking, Transit or Other. Pop-up meetings were used to promote the Vision Zero Action Plan project including a lawn & garden show, easter egg hunt, public library, bike races and other events already happening in the community.

This resolution noted the need for a Vision Zero Action Plan to guide all aspects of traffic safety in the city. Kansas City has among the highest rates of fatal traffic crashes of any similarly sized city in the United States. The city also has a long history of racial segregation and disinvestment in minority neighborhoods. Improving equity in Kansas City is a major focus today and was a major focus of this plan. WSP led the effort to develop a comprehensive Vision Zero Action Plan, drawing on over a year of public engagement efforts directed toward traffic safety and mobility in the city. The Action Plan included an extensive data analysis effort that looked at the relationship between traffic crashes and race, land use context, roadway operations, and roadway features. One major finding from this effort was in the relationship between traffic congestion and severe crashes. As traffic congestion on streets decreased, fatal and serious injury crashes increased. This finding helped support countermeasures targeted at reducing roadway capacity to provide for transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The Action Plan included a detailed description of focus areas, most importantly speed and equity, a list of core safety principles to incorporate into all aspects of City decision making, and a detailed list of action steps related to policy, procedure, education, enforcement, and engineering.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Traffic crashes and serious injuries impact the whole region, with an average of more than 50 lives lost per year in the last 14 years, and the number has been increasing in recent years. While the human toll is tragic, the economic toll can also be a substantial source of hardship for the community. This can be seen through the $8.8 billion that these injury crashes have costs the area's economy between 2014 and 2022 (Calculated using USDOT BCA Guidance 2023). It is also worth noting that traffic crashes do not impact the whole area equally; rural roads have unique safety concerns compared to urban areas. The higher speeds on rural roadways, significant freight, farm, and oil and gas traffic, combined with the growing population has contributed to the disparities in localized crash trends. These inequities across geography and user groups are consistent with findings in many other communities where WSP has worked on safety action plans. Regardless of the area, Weld County desires a Safety Action Plan that embraces the Vision Zero philosophy to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries for everyone. Crash Fatalities Per 100k Population People Killed in Fatal Crashes in Weld County Weld County, CO Jackson County, MO Jefferson County, KY l United States Colorado Larirner County, CO Denver County, CO Boulder County, CO Douglas County, NE Douglas County, CO Hennepin County, MN 0 5 10 15 20 Number of People K lied in Fatal Crashes Per 100K Population Weld County has a relatively high crash fatality rate compared to peer counties across the Midwest (Source: been trending upward since 2014 (Source: FARS) FARS, US Census Bureau) "Our team understands the safety and local challenges in Weld County and brings the expertise to build a plan to address these challenges." Reversing this trend of increasing fatal and serious injury crashes is a moral imperative for our society. Thankfully, it's a matter that the planning and engineering industry is well -positioned to play a part in achieving. The Weld County Safety Action Plan will follow the Safe System Approach and SS4A action plan criteria, allowing Weld County to apply for additional Supplemental Planning and Implementation funds. A paradigm shift is needed to continue progress toward zero traffic fatalities. SS4A/Vision Zero is that new paradigm, and the WSP team can help Weld County get there. 70 60 v Y ar o40 v a a 30 L O) 20 10 50 0 CO O1 O e-1 N M t- n le) f- CC 01 O O O -i el el el el e-1 ei el el el N N N 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 N `V N N N IN N N N N N N N N N Issue Traditional/Prevailing Preventing all crashes Number of people killed in fatal crashes in Weld County has Vision Zero Preventing fatalities and serious injuries Premise Focus Deaths are inevitable Responsibility Figure C-1 - Paradigm Shift that SS4A represents (Source: WSP Global Vision Zero Handbook for practitioners) Perfecting human behavior Deaths are preventable Designing a road system that accounts for human error V1 S I ) Individual road users Shared: road users and system designers Page 9 Weld County, CO I RFQ #62400084 p Engineering Services for a Safety Action Plan for Unincorporated Weld County UNDERSTANDING OF CRITICAL ISSUES • Data Quality and Lifecycle: Data quality is a constant challenge in safety analysis. WSP has extensive experience conducting data quality review to understand the potential for biases and inconsistencies and developing analysis approaches to address these issues. We will enhance and expand the current county database to support this plan and to help Weld County track and report the Vision Zero progress and help predict crash trends. Our data experts will use our QA/QC process to ensure good data input and output. We will work with Sam Gould in your GIS unit to integrate the data and make it readily available and easy to update. • Meaningful Engagement: Community and stakeholder engagement is an essential step in building momentum toward safer streets. Weld County spans 4,000 sq miles, with a diversity in population as grand as its area. Our suggested participation method will enable Weld residents, wherever they live, to join in this process. We will reach out to them through events pop-up events like the county fair and offer online open house content so people can access it when and where they want. Planning efforts such as these can often be plagued by planning fatigue, which is a lack of interest or motivation from people who have participated in previous plans but not seen those plans implemented. These efforts can also be dominated by the loudest and most motivated voices, but not fully reflective of the general community. Our approach to engagement will meet people where they are, emphasizing deep engagement with key stakeholders, convenient, accessible engagement with the general public, and transparency with how community feedback is integrated into planning efforts. • Coordination with Other Plans: Weld County has the distinction of being the only Colorado county in three transportation planning regions. Weld also has big cities that are developing Safety Action Plans for their areas that we need to connect and not duplicate. A successful plan will coordinate with ongoing planning and implementation efforts, such as the Greeley Vision Zero Plan and Colorado Strategic Transportation Safety Plan. This plan is the chance to establish the county's safety program, letting you better identify needs when taking part in planning region activities. It also makes Weld County's potential grant applications more competitive to funders. • Resource and Project Prioritization: Safety plans almost always identify a need that is greater than available funding. In order to be successful, this plan should prioritize the highest -need areas, leverage existing resources and programs to implement safety projects, and identify projects for grants that can be competitive on a national scale. PROJECT APPROACH Based on our past experience working on similar Comprehensive Safety Action Plans, and thoughtful review of the scope, we have developed the following project approach and estimated level of effort (in hours) for each task. If selected, WSP will provide a detailed fee proposal for task orders that fit within the overall budget for this project. TASK 7: PROJECT MANAGEMENT/ORGANIZATION (300 HOURS ESTIMATED) The WSP team is led by Project Manager Timothy Adams and supported by Deputy Project Manager Myron Flora. They will develop a Project Management Plan that details meeting schedules and frequency, agenda and notes format, project roles, and key contacts.

Our corporate quality policy includes three primary objectives: seek ways to increase client satisfaction, continue to improve the methods we use to deliver our services, and satisfy all business requirements cost-effectively. To follow through with our policy to meet our primary objectives, our quality system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards, a universal standard for quality in the design/development and service industries. All work products and deliverables provided to Weld County will undergo our Quality Assurance/Quality Control Process (QA/QC). This process works so that all deliverables are checked, backchecked, corrected, and verified by different individuals to produce the highest quality products, analyses, and documents. Jennifer Pangborn is WSP's Area Quality Champion for the Central region of WSP. She has led quality efforts on major planning/design projects and small studies. She will act as the QA/QC Manager, overseeing the quality of this project and acting as an independent auditor. 1.2 PROJECT MEETINGS AND ORGANIZATION With our experience delivering Safety Action Plans and SS4A projects nationwide, WSP understands the critical importance of communication within the project team and the leadership commitment needed to advance and sustain safety efforts. Our relationships and communication skills will be leveraged to reinforce shared regional alignment on the goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways. Bi-weekly meetings hosted by WSP with Weld County staff will be held to ensure tasks are being delivered on time. This is crucial since the Safety Action Plan must involve the public and critical stakeholders like residents, businesses, and community groups. We also propose establishing a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to collect their feedback and provide input to improve the plan. The TAC should include other government agencies to ensure alignment. This would include, but is not limited to, Weld County, municipalities, CDOT, North Front Range MPO, and Denver Regional Council of Governments MPO. 1.3 SS4A GRANT QUARTERLY REPORTING To meet the SS4A Quarterly Project Progress Report requirements, WSP will provide quarterly updates on the CSAP project and coordinate with the Data Support Team. Items reported will include project status, significant activities and outstanding issues, action items, and project schedule and cost. WSP will also develop a plan to meet MAPA-specific reporting preferences. This plan will include the following goals among others: • Make sure all quarterly reports are comprehensive and compliant • Incorporate a streamlined reporting process for ease of use between Weld County and the consultant team • Provide insights into project progress, specifically key milestones and anticipated delivery tasks TASK 7 DELIVERABLES Bi-weekly meetings with Weld County staff • Establishment of Technical Advisory Committee stakeholder group • Kickoff Meeting • Review of the draft SAP • Present and review the final SAP NNW • Board of County Commissioners • Kickoff and work session meeting • Present and gather input on the draft SAP • Present final SAP for approval • Two (2) in -person public meetings • Assistance with SS4A Quarterly Reporting Page 11 Weld County, Co I RFQ #62400084 + Engineering Services for a Safety Action Plan for Unincorporated Weld County TASK 2: DATA COLLECTION AND REVIEW (300 HOURS ESTIMATED) 2.1 DATA INVENTORY, COLLECTION, AND CLEANING Based on its extensive past experience working on Comprehensive Safety Action Plans and knowledge of local, state, national, and third-party/proprietary data sources, WSP will develop a matrix of data sources to be collected. Our team will collaborate with Weld County staff to identify the most recent and appropriate data sources. Typically, these sources and types of data include: • Crash Data: Crash data is derived from crash reports made by Law Enforcement officers. States have a standardized crash form that is updated periodically to improve reporting and analysis. Crash data is stored in a relational database with several tables, allowing for complex data representation. When the public or outside agencies request crash data from state departments of transportation like CDOT, the data is typically simplified into a single data table with summarized information. • Roadway Attribute Data: Roadway attribute data contains information on the design and characteristics of the existing roadway. This data is typically represented in a GIS system and can come from one or multiple sources. Roadway attributes such as the functional class, width of the road, number of through lanes and turn lanes, shoulder characteristics, speed limits, presence and type of medians, access to the roadway, intersection characteristics, and other data can all provide meaningful context into the crashes happening within a particular area. Our team has extensive experience with conflating multiple data sources and GIS networks into a single feature for meaningful data analysis. Sources like the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) include a strong base for this data throughout the country, but there is often more up-to-date and complete information available from local jurisdictions. Third party sources such as Replica and Open Street Map can also supplement official data sources. • Demographic, Land Use, and Contextual Data: These data sources help characterize the area and needs of a diverse communities served by the transportation system, which are especially important for safety analysis. For example, the same roadway characteristics that may be relatively safe in an environment where there is limited pedestrian activity can be quite unsafe in an environment with more people waking. WSP will use data from the US Census, land use data, point of interest data, and data from Replica to understand how diverse community characteristics impact safety outcomes. WSP also has experience using proprietary data sources, such as data from connected vehicles, location -based services, or AI/ML derived attribute data. If interested, WSP can assist Weld County in identifying relevant safety data sources, such as from vendors like AirSage or Streetlight Data, to advance safety analysis. WSP has extensive experience in evaluating safety data for completeness and quality. Typically, a thorough review of existing documentation can help with the appropriate use of the data. Through exploratory data analysis (EDA), WSP analysts will be able to quickly identify potential systemic issues in data quality and propose a resolution. Our team will also map the attributes of geospatial data to identify any spatial biases or discrepancies that occur between geographies. %NS') Page 12 Weld County, COI RFQ #62400084 I Engineering Services for a Safety Action Plan for Unincorporated Weld County Based on WSP's experience, the following types of data errors can be common. Fortunately, our team has extensive experience in resolving these issues. Issue Description Typical Solution Crash geocoding Changing categories between years Differing network geometries Missing Data Crash location has no latitude/longitude Categories for various crash data columns change from year to year (i.e. changing definitions of crash severity) Different input data sources represent road networks differently Data for an attribute is sparse or missing for a year or category This typically impacts less severe crashes (minor / possible injury crashes, or PDO crashes). If crash severity is minor, missing data can be removed from geospatial analyses. Manual geocoding should be considered on a case -by -case basis for more severe crashes Categorized are harmonized between years, typically by creating a combined category. In certain instances where this results in a discontinuity in data between years due to a legitimate change in definition that is not otherwise represented in the data, this should be noted in analysis. Network conflation techniques are used to transfer attributes from one set of network geometry to the other, follow by manual inspection of results and correction for systemic errors Supplemental data sources: Data can he back -filled with another data source, if the data is available Impute Data: Missing data can be replaced with an average, or an average for that particular data source. Discard Data: Missing records can potentially be discarded, if missingness is not systematically biased. 2.2 SURVEY DEVELOPMENT WSP will develop a survey for city, county, and other public agency staff to understand attitudes and knowledge related to safety issues. A similar, abbreviated survey can also be administered to a public, non- technical audience. In addition to allowing for opportunities for unstructured comments, the survey will feature "Liken" style ratings of various statements and priorities, enabling a quantitative analysis of survey responses. Demographic data should also be collected to help understand the representativeness of the survey sample. 2.3 DATA DELIVERY AND HOSTING Once all data has been collected, reviewed, and cleaned, WSP will provide data to Weld County in a File Geodatabase format (or as individual shapefiles, at the direction of Weld County).

Safety analysis can help identify patterns, provide meaningful context into why crashes are happening, identify areas of focus for crashes, and help develop priorities for improvements. Through data analysis, communities like Weld County can make equitable investment decisions that make meaningful impacts to traffic safety. 3.1 CRASH TRENDS AND SUMMARY STATISTICS WSP will conduct a thorough review of crash data in Weld County to provide insights to changes over time in various crash types, contributing circumstances, and other information collected within crash data records. This analysis can be used to identify key issue or focus areas for safety within Weld County. 3.2 GEOSPATIAL AND SYSTEMIC ANALYSIS WSP will aggregate crash data to understand crash "hot spots" within Weld County. Data can be aggregated to common geographies and normalized by land area, population, and travel information to help understand which areas of Weld County generally face disproportionate impacts of various types of crashes. A High Injury Network (HIN) map will be developed to show roadway segments and intersection locations with a disproportionate share of Fatal and Serious Injury crashes within Weld County. HINs often capture a majority of fatal and serious injury crashes within a very small proportion of the overall roadway network. Omaha's High Injury Network found that nearly half of crashes occurred on just 6.6% of the centerline miles of city streets. HI _I Th.

The systemic analysis is a comprehensive review of the relative crash rate associated with various roadway and intersection attributes and place contexts. This analysis helps to identify areas for proactive safety improvement and opportunities to implement safety priorities in County, City, and State design standards. A systemic analysis also supports a network screening exercise for all roads, known as a High Risk Network. Points are assigned to various roadway attributes, providing a composite risk score for each street, independent of past crash history. There is usually a very high correlation between the risk score and crash rates.

This review will also include an analysis of staff and agency partner attitudes toward Vision Zero. Our team will also identify peer counties similar to Weld County to understand their policies and efforts related to safety improvements. The safety analysis will be documented in its own safety analysis chapter of the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan document, fulfilling the requirements of the SS4A notice of funding opportunity. TASK 3 DELIVERABLES • Crash Summary Statistics • High Injury Network Map • Systemic Analysis • Plan/Policy Review Memo • High Risk Network Map • Safety Analysis Chapter TASK 4: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND FEEDBACK COLLECTION (750 HOURS ESTIMATED) Our team is deeply qualified to deliver excellent public outreach and feedback collection services to support Weld County's Safety Action Planning process, with an emphasis on equity since many rural and under- represented communities experience higher rates of fatalities and serious -injury crashes. To truly move the needle, our team understands the need to examine more than just crash data. We will engage in honest and action -oriented conversations that include a diverse group of the public and stakeholders. The County is in the early stages of examining how its transportation infrastructure is designed, redesigned, reallocated and built, which includes developing strategies for how these projects are prioritized for needed funding. Our team can help provide a framework to identify these needs in a data -driven and equitable manner, engage with In -person opportunities can help educate on why one fatality is too many in Weld County and share more about the goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries based on a Safe System approach. Steil iiedenkamp (left), the WSP team Task 4 lead, and Liz Murray (center), meet with the community at a similar public meeting. Page 15 Weld County, CO I RFC, #62400064 ( Engineering Services for a Safety Action Plan for Unincorporated Weld County the public and stakeholders to confirm these needs and help the County develop a plan to prioritize needs when it seeks funding or considers future improvements. A Strong Engagement Plan is a Critical Piece of a Safety Action Plan Collecting data (1), performing analysis to identify problem areas in the county (2), and developing a high -risk network (3) are three of the six legs of the stool, if you will, for any robust, comprehensive Safety Action Plan. The next two are providing policy solutions (4) and developing prioritized safety projects (5) based on the problems identified. The final leg is creating and implementing an engagement plan that focuses on internal and external communication concerning the Safety Action Plan (6). Our team understands the importance of ensuring that this engagement plan authentically connects with the larger community, while also effectively engaging with underserved, under -represented and marginalized communities, as well as local businesses in the private sector, community groups and adjacent jurisdictions. In addition, we recognize the value of two-way communication to ensure the community feels truly heard, and we strive to analyze the feedback received from these public and stakeholder engagement efforts and integrate this information into the Safety Action Plan as it is finalized. After the County's Safety Action Plan is developed, our team knows how best to measure progress across time, as well as how to maintain ongoing transparency with the public and stakeholders and provide open and accessible reporting on the County's progress toward reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Just as the Safe System Approach challenges system designers to adapt the road transport system to advance safety for all road users, it challenges public outreach teams to design and implement fresh approaches to build consensus, create ownership, and facilitate collaboration. Each public and stakeholder interaction is an opportunity to educate on the benefits of the County's efforts and the Safe System Approach, and how by working collaboratively, we can collectively work toward the goal of ending fatal and serious injury crashes in Weld County. Our proven engagement approach will engage deeply and authentically with the public and community —prioritizing connection with areas most impacted by traffic crashes and most traditionally underserved by safety efforts.

Technical Advisory Committee and Focus Area Working Groups. Our team will support the convenings of the Technical Advisory Committee and Focus Area Working Groups (e.g., assisting to prepare presentations and sharing public outreach updates). Community Outreach Events. Our team will work with the County to determine the ideal opportunities and schedule to meet the community at up to 10 popups at in -person neighborhood meetings and tabling events, where Safety Action Plan information can be shared, and engagement map information can be captured. Open House Public Meetings. In addition, our team will plan and implement two (2) in -person open house public meetings at the appropriate times to (1) update the public on the safety analysis and share the initial recommendations of the Safety Action Plan, capturing feedback and answering questions, and (2) communicate the final solutions considered and seek input. Any presentation and exhibit materials shared at the in -person public meetings can be uploaded to the web assets where those in the community who prefer to participate virtually may do so in an asynchronous manner. To promote the public meetings, outreach tools such as postcard mailings, news releases/media advisories, and advertisements/public notices may be used. Innovative and equitable approaches to the in -person public meetings may include providing childcare and food, arranging for transportation, and employing interactive engagement opportunities, as well as varying meeting times across the same day (morning, afternoon, and evening) to accommodate busy schedules. The comment period after the public meetings can extend for two weeks after each to allow time for feedback to be shared. Our team will collect comment responses and explore any unique issues/concerns and share with the team. TASK 4 DELIVERABLES • Develop Master Planning Workbook, which includes: -- Overall project management schedule of milestones/public outreach and feedback collection activities Social media planner for post text, graphics, and scheduling Key audiences contact list developed in collaboration with the County — Comment library that our team will maintain with the County to document all collected feedback • Create project branding materials, which may include a logo and templates. • Establish project web assets, which may include a County webpage and standalone project website. • Develop online survey and interactive engagement map, which live on the project website. • Support Technical Advisory Committee and Focus Area Working Group meetings. • Plan and implement up to 10 Community Outreach Events and two (2) Open House Public Meetings. TASK 5: SAFETY ACTION PLAN ELEMENTS (750 HOURS ESTIMATED) David Church and the WSP team will be leading the Vision Zero Plan Development for Weld County. Advancing toward the objective of zero deaths and serious injuries requires an action plan with targets, supported by measurable progress and monitoring. Every action plan should identify context -specific measures that can be implemented to reach specific targets —through a comprehensive review of contextual information, engagement of stakeholders and evaluation of resources and data. The action plan should clearly convey how, by when and by whom the identified measures will be carried out. To support our Vision Zero practitioners at WSP, we created a global Vision Zero Handbook that details Vision Zero Action Plan development. Development of this handbook drew on the collective experience of our Vision Zero practitioners from around the globe. The scope outlined by Weld County fits in well with the WSP approach. The development of this Action Plan will incorporate the public engagement efforts, executive committee and TAC feedback, and data analysis insights. %NS!) Page '17 Weld County, CO I RFQ #82400084 I Engineering Services for a Safety Action Plan for Unincorporated Weld County STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT Our approach to strategy development will include three key elements, which will be developed throughout the process using the executive committee, TAC, and public engagement efforts as a guide. These steps are: • Emphasis Area Identification Our team will present the data analysis results and suggested emphasis areas to the executive committee for their feedback in finalizing emphasis areas. Emphasis areas will follow a similar framework to the Colorado SHSP but may differ based on specific Weld County issues. • Countermeasure Identification for Emphasis Areas -- After emphasis areas have been developed our team will work with the TAC to identify appropriate countermeasures. The focus will principally be on engineering countermeasures and reference the FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures and the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual guidance along with best practice recommendations from National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), and others. We will identify educational or enforcement strategies that can be executed as part of this project or by Weld County staff. • Development of Long- and Short -Term Targets SPEED KILLS Our team will work with the executive committee and TAC Reducing vehicle speeds is a central to develop useful, viable, and achievable targets. focus of Vision Zero. The speed of a The long-term targets will focus on overall reduction of vehicle has a double impact of both fatal and serious injury crashes and may provide more increasing the likelihood of a crash and emphasis on specific demographic groups such as the severity. The severity of pedestrian minorities or younger/older users. and bicycle crashes are particularly The short-term targets will focus on implementation strongly influenced. Speed mitigation activities that will lead to reduction in fatal and serious factors such as traffic calming, injury crashes. Short-term targets could include: matching road capacity to demand, • Number of streets with lowered speeds and/or speed targeted speed enforcement, and limits education will be a central focus of our • Number of traffic calming and intersection safety team in Weld County. implementations • The introduction of advanced enforcement technology, such as speed cameras. • Number of systemic safety treatments implemented county -wide IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS It is critical that a strong implementation plan be developed for the Weld County Vision Zero Action Plan. Implementation and prioritization is typically the most difficult topic to overcome in the Vision Zero discussion, as it involves funding allocations. In many jurisdictions, Weld County included, fatal and serious injury traffic crashes are not equally distributed throughout the community. To achieve Vision Zero, funding must be allocated to the locations where the greatest crash reduction can be generated. This can leave some residents and businesses throughout the community feeling as if they are being "short changed" when they do not see projects being implemented in their neighborhoods. In addition to managing the messaging and being sensitive to the concerns of the community and decision makers, our team will apply the following concepts to aid in smooth implementation discussions: • Prioritization Model — We will rely on our data -driven approach to develop a systematic prioritization model for project recommendations. This prioritization model will help objectively identify projects and discuss the varying levels of needs in different areas of the county. NNNI) Page 18 Weld County. CO RFQ #B2400084 Engineenng Services for a Safety Action Plan for Unincorporated Weld County • Action Steps and Responsible Party Designation To achieve the Vision Zero action plan, specific action steps are needed. These may identify specific corridors for improvements, systemic improvements to be undertaken county -wide, educational campaigns, policy updates, or targeted enforcement efforts. Each of these action steps will be identified with the responsible party noted including the department or the official responsible for following up on implementation. • Design Guidelines — To aid Weld County staff in implementing the Vision Zero recommendations, our team will explore updates needed to the Weld County's road design guides, taking a context sensitive, Vision Zero, and complete street approach to design guidelines. This guideline will give specific recommendations to which countermeasures are most appropriate on what kinds of streets and in which contexts. MONITORING The short-term and long-term targets identified in the strategy development phase should be continuously monitored. Monitoring these targets can help the county identify whether implementation is moving forward and whether strategies are having an impact. This monitoring can be automated and displayed using a variety of platforms such as Microsoft PowerBi, Tableau, mySidewalk, or ArcGIS Dashboards. These could be configured to be public facing or internal, based on the preferences of the Weld County staff, executive committee, and TAC. At a minimum, it is recommended that a publicly available yearly report be produced describing the state of Vision Zero in Weld County. Our team can provide recommendations on report format and data for ongoing updates. ACTION PLAN DOCUMENT After this work is completed, our team will produce an Action Plan document detailing all these elements. However, because action plans like this can often be 100 - 200 pages in length, it is much easier for members of the executive committee, TAC, and public to understand the information in a searchable/linked website format. Our team can create this interactive website using various platforms such as ArcGIS Story Map, mySidewalk, or custom micro site integrated into the Weld County website. TASK 5 DELIVERABLES • Strategy development • Implementation actions • Monitoring • Action Plan Document TASK 6: ONGOING MEASURE OF PROGRESS (300 HOURS ESTIMATED) Progress monitoring and transparency are a key component of all Comprehensive Safety Action Plans. WSP will work with Weld County and its partners to develop a robust but accessible measurement framework for safety within the county. Safety metrics should include both outcome -related metrics (i.e. the number of fatal and serious injury crashes, or a fatal and serious injury crash rate) as well as metrics that track implementation activities (i.e. the number and location of safety projects). A simple web -based dashboard using ArcGIS Online would help provide transparency. WSP will produce a dashboard that includes GIS layers developed for the safety analysis (like the High Injury Network) as well as a layers and a schema for tracking crash outcomes and safety projects. WSP will populate these new layers with real examples that can be edited and added upon by Weld County GIS staff. Our team will transfer the dashboard and content to the Weld County ArcGIS Online organization, as well as produce documentation guiding users through the dashboard update process and provide up to one virtual training session for Weld County GIS staff. WSP can also provide annual ongoing maintenance of the dashboard for an additional fee.

PROJECT SCHEDULE HOW WE WILL SET AND MEET TASK ORDER SCHEDULES We understand the importance of delivering this project by June 2025. MAPA and its partner jurisdictions need an eligible plan to apply for SS4A funds in round four of the program. This schedule gives adequate time to accomplish the tasks set out in this proposal; with a project of this size and the coordination that will be required, it will be necessary to promptly establish a technical advisory committee, communicate with the BOCC, and reach out to local jurisdictions. Early outreach to stakeholders will also be essential to achieving the necessary support for the recommendations and plan. WSP's experience in the area and Myron Hora's (Ulteig) established relationships and local knowledge will allow our team to hit the ground running. Additionally, prompt data delivery will be essential to the project's success. Our team's familiarity with the safety data system will allow smooth coordination and prompt delivery of tasks.

Vision Zero is a global road safety initiative that originated ;n Sweden in the late 1990s. The core principle of Vision Zero is the belief that all traffic fatalities and serious injuries are preventable, and that no toss of life is acceptable. The goal of Vision Zero is tc create a transportation system that prioritizes safety above all else, using a data -driven approach to identify and address the root causes of traffic crashes. THE SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH Over the last six decaces traffic fatalities in Netraska h,wve cec►eased front 5 0 lalalihes per 100 million vehicle miles (fiMVW) en 1956 to I 0 Fatalities HMV`A in 2010 In Ouse 45 -years we shnJld hr proud of Lie lives saved but the same strategies nave ether been exnajsted or faded to adapt to the _hang.ng proble:ns `.)

The transportation system mint be designed to be sate, even when road users make mistakes. AU stakeholders. Including road users, engineers. elected officials. emergency responders, and transportation planners, have a role to play in creating a safe transportation system. 4 CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT The Safe System Approach Is a continuous process of Improvement, with a focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of traffic crashes. By implementing the Sate System Approach cities and countries can cteate transpertaion systems that are more accommodating to human error and that pnontste the safety of all road use:s WORDS MATTER Words used in conversation and shared by the news media to describe traffic crashes are important. Words communicate ideas, and these ideas influence how individuals, readers, listeners and viewers think about what has happened and what should be done about it. Those that report news and the public can help advance the work of the City and the Omaha Vision Zero efforts by keeping in mind: • Using the term "crash" instead of "accident" The word "accident" implies that the crash was unavoidable but traffic crashes can be prevented. • Don't assign a simple cause to a crash. There are specific risk factors that contribute to serious crashes_ When talking or reporting on a crash, it is important to highlight these factors. Instead of assigning blame. ask questions about what could have prevented the crash. • Report with compassion about the people involved in a crash. Small mistakes can have fatal consequences in traffic crashes. Be mindful of the victims and their families when discussing a crash. Don't blame crash victims. Pedestrians and cyclists are often blamed for crashes, even though they are not the only ones at fault. We need to be fair and accurate in discussing those involved. • Be aware of survivorship bias. If there are two witnesses to a crash, and one is killed, the person who died cannot speak on their own behalf. Don't take one party's word at face value.

Data -driven is a guiding principle of this action plan and indispensable to the Vision Zero effort. This data -driven approach aids in pinpointing precise crash concerns linked to equity, mode share, roadway characteristics, intersection types. and behavioral elements. By merging this data analysis with active involvement from the Vision Zero Technical Advisory Committee and public input, we established purposeful areas for enhancement, identified effect countermeasures, and created an Action Plan poised to propel Omaha's journey towards zero. It should be noted that only crashes on non -freeway roadways were analyzed. This is due to the City of Omaha having a limited control of how they operate (Nebraska DOT has primary jurisdiction) and the characteristics of freeway crashes are much different than those on local, collector, and arterial roadways.

Roundabouts have been credited with reducing all traffic crashes in Carmel by 40;1_ and injury crashes by EV:: The decision was made after the mayor at the lime (and currently!) visited Europe. He save how many roundabouts there were and realized That roundabouts were safer than traditional intersections and can improve traffic operations. Roundabouts primarily force drivers to slow down and yield to traffic. which reduces the chance and seventy of crashes, - In addition to improving safety, roundabouts also have operational and environmental benefits. They create a continuous flow of traffic, which can help to reduce congestion. They also reduce emissions by eliminating the need for slop -and -go traffic and use less energy because they do not require electricity. The success of Carmel's roundabout program has been a model for other cities aruund the world. Here are some additional specific benefits that Carmel has seen from its roundabouts'.

These programs focus on three key areasimproving visibility al crosswalks, creating safer crossing environments. and encouraging diiver awareness of pedestrians. As part of collaboration with FHWA, in 2016 New York State Department of Transportation (NYSOOT) developed a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan (PSAP). The PSAP Greedy resulted in systern'c countermeasure installation and contributed to a reduction hi pedestrian fatalities in the first Due to the suggesbons provided by the PSAP, the NYSDOT is presently in the process of revising their Highway Design Manual. These revisions are aimed at enhancing the planning and design processes for ensuring the safety of all modes of transportation. Additionally, the NYSDOT has included pedestrians in its annual regional wort. propams. This incorporahon mandates that regions enrarnine 20 percent of locations with a history of high - crash incidents each year. Over the course of five years, this approach will result in a comprehensive investigation of all such locations.'• Systemic High Quality Pedestrian Crossings are a proven way to improve safety for the :most vulnerable users in ow communities New York is a success story in implementing these countermeasures.

Section II — Who Is An Insured is amended to include as an additional insured my person or organization whom you are required to add as an additional insured on this policy under a written contract or written agreement. Such person or organization is an additional insured only with respect to liability for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury" caused, in whole or in part, by: 1. Your acts or omissions; or 2. The acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf, in the performance of your ongoing operations or "your work" as included in the "products -completed operations hazard", which is the subject of the written contract or written agreement. However, the insurance afforded to such additional insured: 1. Only applies to the extent permitted by law; and 2. Will not be broader than that which you are required by the written contract or written agreement to provide for such additional insured. B. With respect to the insurance afforded to these additional insureds, the following additional exclusion applies: This insurance does not apply to: "Bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury" arising out of the rendering of, or failure to render, any professional architectural, engineering or surveying services including: a. The preparing, approving or failing to prepare or approve maps, shop drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, field orders, change orders or drawings and specifications; or b. Supervisory, inspection, architectural or engineering activities. This exclusion applies even if the claims against any insured allege negligence or other wrongdoing in the supervision, hiring, employment, training or monitoring of others by that insured, if the "occurrence" which caused the "bodily injury" or "property damage", or the offense which caused the "personal and advertising injury", involved the rendering of or the failure to render any professional architectural, engineering or surveying services.

D. For the purposes of the coverage provided by this endorsement: 1. The following is added to the Other Insurance Condition of Section IV — Commercial General Liability Conditions: Primary and Noncontributory insurance This insurance is primary to and will not seek contribution from any other insurance available to an additional insured provided that: a.

The following paragraph is added to Paragraph 4.b. of the Other Insurance Condition of Section IV — Commercial General Liability Conditions: This insurance is excess over: Any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, available to an additional insured, in which the additional insured on our policy is also covered as an additional insured on another policy providing coverage for the same "occurrence", offense, claim or "suit". This provision does not apply to any policy in which the additional insured is a Named Insured on such other policy and where our policy is required by a written contract or written agreement to provide coverage to the additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis. E. This endorsement does not apply to an additional insured which has been added to this policy by an endorsement showing the additional insured in a Schedule of additional insureds, and which endorsement applies specifically to that identified additional insured.
