Firm Experience
AGA is a multidiscipline engineering firm specializing in municipal and transportation engineering.
Through utilization of today's most sophisticated, computer -aided equipment by highly skilled and talented professional engineers and technicians, we are able to provide clients with quality, cost-effective, professional services in a timely manner. Our services are not just routine, but rather the application of experience and knowledge to properly identify a problem and provide the most appropriate and cost- effective solution. Each project is unique and carried out with the highest degree of pride and professionalism with a dedication to satisfy the client's needs. We offer professional services ranging from the planning and conceptual design stage through the construction supervision and "as -built" stage, placing us among the forerunners in the full -circle service concept.
AGA's wide range of services offered can be divided
into six primary areas of expertise: traffic engineering, day-to-day traffic signal operations, transportation
planning, traffic signal communication design,
operational control of traffic signal systems, and City Traffic Engineer staffing. While we are well known and
respected for our work in all of these areas, we are
perhaps best known for our widespread knowledge
and experience in the field of multijurisdictional traffic signal design and coordination. It should also be noted that AGA operates over 200 traffic signals on behalf of five jurisdictions in Southern California. Those traffic signals are remotely monitored and controlled from
the Traffic Management Center located in AGA's
Fullerton office.
Our approach to providing professional services and projects is to do more than simply provide labor or prepare design plans and study reports — we actually improve traffic operations and safety in everything we touch. We are not a company that simply provides engineering labor to complete client designated tasks; rather, AGA provides a high level of intellectual support to accomplish client objectives. Our unique blend of Civil Engineers, Traffic Engineers, and skilled traffic signal system and communications technicians provides a synergy which results in successful projects beyond client expectations.
We serve as an extension of City staff as well as expert advisors, forming an integrated team to creatively provide solutions to traffic engineering and transportation planning problems. While our designated Project Manager will provide the majority of the management and long-term expertise required, our entire staff will be available and on -call at all times to serve the City. This includes any scheduled meetings at City Hall for both public and City staff liaison, attendance at evening City and neighborhood meetings as required, field studies and analyses, and all other required functions.
Because of our extensive operational experience, we are well versed in responding to complaints relative to signal timing and phasing. We have addressed complaints from residents, commuters, parents of students, police personnel, and City officials. The key to responding to such complaints is to approach each situation with an open mind. The average driver is not a traffic engineer and doesn't view signal operations in the same manner as a traffic engineer. Our philosophy is that we work for the City of Placentia which consists of all its residents.
492
Our staff has designed and installed various Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) elements including CCTV cameras, fiber optic communication systems, wireless interconnect systems, and serial or Ethernet based systems, as well as upgraded multiple central systems throughout Southern California. We have also provided support services for many Central Management Systems and all related ITS communication equipment and have extensive hands-on experience with the City's existing Econolite ASC/3 and Cobalt controllers. Our extensive ITS experience and support with all forms of troubleshooting and communication will greatly assist in providing as needed training to City staff in all aspects of traffic communication and ITS elements/devices in the City. This will ensure long term reliability and reducing communication downtime to traffic signals and the central system.
Experience Working with the City of Placentia
Since 2010 the AGA Team has conducted numerous traffic studies, prepared traffic signal modification plans at several intersections, railroad grade separation plans, and traffic signal timing plans. Following is a summary of a few of the projects we were privileged to have undertaken for the City.
For the Packing House development project, the AGA Team prepared a Transit Oriented Development Traffic Study to analyze and evaluate potential traffic impacts in the vicinity of the Metrolink Station, and to provide a comprehensive
assessment of the most probable traffic and transportation outcomes. More recently, our team developed mitigation
improvements and estimated construction costs for four
intersections withing the Packing House area.
As a part of the Caltrans funded Systemic Analysis Report Program (SSARP), the AGA Team conducted a City-wide assessment of collisions to identify targeted modifications in traffic controls and safety improvement projects that could be implemented to address elevated collision rates along roadways and at intersections. The systemic analysis conducted as a part of the assessment pinpointed the highest occurring collision types, identified high -risk corridors and intersections, and determined appropriate countermeasures. Engineers then conducted comprehensive field investigations in order to determine potential traffic control measures and safety improvements specifically designed to reduce the likelihood of future crashes. Ultimately a prioritized list of recommendations was developed and cost estimates determined.
The AGA Team has extensive experience with completing Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP) and other multijurisdictional signal timing synchronization projects. For many years our staff has been continuously under contract with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) completing various types of projects. Operating and maintaining traffic signal systems and traffic synchronization projects are the heart of AGA's business. Corridors we have worked on which travel through Placentia are:
Chapman Avenue, Orangethorpe Avenue, Placentia Avenue, Bastanchury Road, and Imperial Highway. and Kraemer Boulevard.
493
Relevant Project Experience and References
AGA is well qualified to provide the full range of professional traffic engineering services as described in the Scope of Services of the RFP. Based on our understanding of the City's on -call needs, we feel that our most important qualifications relate not only to providing traffic studies and the development of high - quality PS&E documents for projects, but also to problem solving, communication, and a willingness to develop alternative solutions while maintaining public safety. We are proud of our reputation for successfully bringing forward innovative solutions for our clients over the past 30 years. We strongly urge a phone call to any of the persons listed as a reference to ask questions about their experiences working with us.

Project Understanding & Approach
Under various contractual agreements, our staff provides on -call support for signal timing operations for multiple cities throughout Southern California. Our responsibilities include regular monitoring of signal operations and responding to requests from City staff relative to signal timing, construction activities, and citizen complaints. Development, implementation, and maintenance of coordination signal timing plans is critical to optimizing the efficiency of the existing infrastructure. AGA has for many years monitored signal timing for several agencies, ensuring that coordination timing plans are operating as designed.
For several years, AGA staff have monitored and operated traffic signal and camera systems for various cities from our Traffic Management Center (TMC) located in our office. Via our previous work, we are familiar with the traffic patterns of the roadways and are also aware of specific details of the traffic operations on multiple corridors in the City of Placentia.
It is anticipated that both office and field services will be provided, including such tasks as addressing signal timing complaints, signal systems related concerns (offline intersections), signal interconnect and ITS support services, and planning for future traffic signal infrastructure improvements.
Coordination with the City's traffic engineering, traffic operations, and signal maintenance staff, as well as any other traffic engineering/maintenance related tasks as requested by the City, will also be included.
We fully understand the importance of dealing with traffic -related problems. Staff at AGA have completed many tasks similar or identical to those anticipated under this contract, and have completed such tasks on time, within budget, and in a manner that meets all the requirements of the agency for which the work was completed, while at the same time placing minimal time and effort requirements on agency staff. The AGA Team possesses all of the necessary qualifications and skills required to successfully provide the as - needed services listed in the RFP. It is always our goal to deliver projects that improve traffic operations, public safety, and the quality of life for residents and visitors.
Based on our understanding of the City's needs, we feel that our most important qualifications relate not only to the development of high -quality PS&E documents, but
also to problem solving, technical consensus building, and a willingness to develop alternative solutions while
maintaining public safety. In addition to our proficiency in conducting traffic studies, our staff are experts at
conducting field reviews and typically "see" operational issues others miss. This expertise has evolved from years of individual experience working on a variety of projects while employed both for public agencies and as consultants. It is always our goal to deliver projects that improve traffic operations, public safety, and the quality of life for residents and visitors.

Scope of Work
Traffic Signal Operation Management
AGA operates over 200 traffic signals on behalf of the cities of La Habra, Highland, Laguna Niguel, Fountain Valley, and Montclair. Those traffic signals are remotely monitored and controlled from the Traffic Management Center located in AGA's Fullerton office. Following are the operational traffic signal services we provide to our clients.
Traffic Signal Timing and System Support
Developing, implementing, and maintaining signal timing plans are all critical to optimizing the efficiency of the existing infrastructure, thus ensuring that coordination signal timing plans are operating as designed. Since traffic patterns change when construction, incidents, and/or new land use development occurs, adjustments to timing plans are often
required. Only by frequent monitoring of traffic
operations can these signal timing plans be kept
current. In addition to AGA's expert traffic engineering staff, the company also employs several experienced
traffic signal technicians who are highly skilled and
well versed on all types of traffic signal control
hardware and systems, video equipment and control
systems, communications, networking, and security
systems.
We also often respond to citizen complaints. A recent
example is from the Laguna Niguel regarding delays
on Rancho Niguel Road. On the day we received the
complaint from City staff, we developed a new traffic
signal coordination plan and implemented it the
following morning. The new plan was integrated with
the existing coordination timing plan on Crown Valley
Parkway (see adjacent figure). All locations were
offline, so AGA staff implemented and fine -turned the
new signal timings in the field. The signal timing
adjustments were verified in the field by AGA staff to
ensure that the appropriate changes were effective.
Traffic Signal Operation
AGA operates traffic signal systems for various
governmental agencies and does so remotely from
our Fullerton office, which includes a Traffic
Management Center (TMC). Existing systems include
78 signals using the Econolite Centracs system in
Laguna Niguel, 35 signals on an Q -Free Kinetic System
in La Habra, 40 signals on a SWARCO (McCain)
New Rancho Niguel Rd/Greenfield Dr
Coordination Plan
AAA's Q -Free Kinetic Workstation for La Habra
497
Transparity system in Montclair, 50 signals on a Q -Free MaxView system in the City of Fountain Valley and 38 signals on a SWARCO QuicNet system in the City of Highland.
One signal timing project involved approximately 650 intersections spread throughout 17 agencies (15 cities, the County, and Caltrans) in the San Bernardino Valley under a multi -year contract with San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA, formerly SANBAG). This unique "hands-on" signal experience allowed AGA staff to possess a very realistic understanding of what it takes to adequately serve the public while maintaining political harmony. Our TMC staff also includes signal system specialists with previous field maintenance experience with a local Signal Maintenance Contractor. Our unique staffing often allows us to correct problems before the public starts making complaint phone calls.
Traffic Operations and Management
Traffic Signal Programs (TSSP) significantly enhance field communications, upgrade controllers, video detection, and traffic signal timing along the corridor; however, without active oversight and management by the agencies that are operationally responsible, the true effectiveness of the systems will not be realized. Given the variety of central signal systems, controllers and the different communication systems, integration of these systems requires extensive knowledge and expertise. Our staff has in-depth knowledge and experience with integrating, maintaining, and supporting the various signal systems. The table to the right graphically demonstrates the number of corridors we have worked on throughout Southern California. AGA's experience from previous projects has shown that special attention must be given to:
• Interface modems from wireless to hardwire, fiber optic, telephone drops, etc. interconnect components.
• Communication speed differences for different interconnect and controller types. • Actuating coordination for differing local controller programs and software versions. • System controller grouping limitations.
• Local software limitations.
• Using a variety of timing parameters and strategies to achieve shorter cycle lengths.
Our experience with integrating central system hardware (computer servers, workstations, Ethernet switches, modems, port servers, GPS servers) and field elements — including interfacing with traffic signal system vendors, communication systems specialists and respective agency Information Technology staff is key to project success.
Traffic Signal Interconnect and Communication
AGA staff have worked on a multitude of traffic signal communication projects. The AGA Team has also designed several miles of fiber optic communications in the cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Brea, Irvine, Rancho Cucamonga, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, and La Habra, to name a few. Our designs include ITS components such as CCTV cameras and Bluetooth travel time devices. Detailed fiber assignments are also included to ensure that agencies have accurate documentation of their fiber assets in order to facilitate integration of the communication and ITS devices into the respective traffic management centers.
Signal Timing Related System Improvements
AGA has worked on a multitude of traffic signal design projects. During the past several years, AGA staff have completed designs for various Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) and Regional Traffic
498
Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP) projects and other grant funded projects to upgrade outdated traffic signal equipment and implement various safety improvements identified by citywide safety assessments. While completing traffic signal modification designs, AGA staff not only looks at the specific improvements identified in the RFQ, but also all the traffic signal components that may need to be modified or upgraded.
Video/Radar Detection Systems
AGA has designed a vast amount of traffic signal equipment improvement plans where new video detection systems have been successfully installed. Our experience and familiarity with different types of video detection systems such as the Iteris Vantage Vector Hybrid system (utilized for advanced dilemma zone detection), Vantage Next system, Vantage Edge II system, the Econolite Autoscope Vision system, and Gridsmart have given us the knowledge to successfully design for the installation of such systems.
Understanding these different detection systems and their components allows us to prepare a thorough design that will meet the project objectives. As an example, knowing what type of cable is required for the different types of detection systems is critical in determining if new conduits will be needed or if the cable can be installed in existing conduit. Some systems utilize a single CAT -5E Ethernet cable for power and video, while others require both separate power and coaxial cables for the video requiring more space in the conduit. Fully understanding how these systems work and getting the design right is what saves time and costs during construction.
The red extension timing parameter (available on the Econolite controllers) can increase the all -red of an approach to better clear an intersection to avoid a potential collision with a vehicle running the red light indication. This feature works by utilizing a specific radar zone during the approach all -red indication. The figure below shows the red protect zone (detector number 50) being activated (see Photo A) and the controller program then increases the all -red time from 2.0 seconds to 3.6 seconds, an increase of 1.6 seconds (see Photo B) to avoid a potential collision. The increased all -red time was verified utilizing the central system's split monitor reporting. AGA can assist the City in programming the controllers and assist in the radar detection configurations.

CCTV Cameras
Our designs for hundreds of CCTV camera installations have given us the experience and understanding of factors to consider when completing such designs. It is important to understand design elements such as location of the camera, distance between the camera from the communications switch (to identify whether an Ethernet extender or special long-range CAT -6 cable is required), and existing conduit fill to make sure CCTV cable can be installed.
Staying current on new technology is also very important and it's something that we are constantly working on. Our experience with designing CCTV systems from multiple vendors such as Bosch, Cohu, and Axis will be key in providing the project agencies what they are looking for. The AGA team recently worked on integrating a Cloud -based video management system complete with Firewall security for the City of San Dimas.
Emergency Vehicle Preemption Systems
Our experience with designing EVP systems for a multitude of cities is a significant asset to the Team. It is important to note that there are different models of EVP systems. In recent years, agencies have been transitioning from the traditional
infrared/optical EVP systems to GPS based EVP systems, as is the case with the City of Fountain Valley where the AGA team recently completed the design and integration of over fifty EVP systems.
Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) and ClearGuide AGA staff are very familiar with working on the Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) applications for different systems. We have configured the Econolite Centracs, Iteris SPM, and Q -Free ATSPM applications. In order to obtain accurate ATSPM reporting, it is critical that users accurately configure the detection (lane -by -lane detection, detector channels, detector type and detector distances).
The ATSPM reporting can provide guidance on where detection is not working properly, the health of the coordinated system, count data (existing and historical), side street delays and split timing monitoring.
AGA has also begun monitoring travel times and congestion using the ClearGuide application. ClearGuide has been utilized in Los Angeles County cities for the past five years and OCTA is now providing licensing for Orange County cities. The main benefit for both ATSPM and the ClearGuide applications is that the data is being continuously evaluated and monitored 24/7.
Traffic Engineering
Following are examples typical traffic engineering services we commonly provide to our clients.
Traffic Design Plans
AGA staff have developed and reviewed numerous traffic signal designs, traffic control plans, signing and striping plans, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) plans, and communication plans for a large number of agencies. While completing traffic signal designs, our staff not only looks at the specific improvements identified, but also conducts inventories of all the traffic signal components which may need to be modified or upgraded.
500
Our experience with designing traffic signals, and our drive to keep up with the latest requirements of Californiva Manual on Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), Caltrans Standards, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Greenbook allows us to provide a comprehensive design for successful completion of a project. AGA staff are also up-to-date with current ADA requirements. Design activities consist of determining all aspects of right-of-way requirements for street improvements including providing raised median configurations, left and right turn pocket lengths, speed -controlled transitions, lane drops, etc.
ITS Design Plans
The AGA team has extensive experience designing,
implementing and operating multijurisdictional
traffic signal synchronization projects throughout
Southern California through OCTA (see map). A
partial listing of recent RTSSP projects which AGA
completed in the area includes the following:
• Alicia Parkway (Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills,
Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Caltrans)
• La Paz Road (Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills,
Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Caltrans)
• Bolsa Avenue/First Street (Westminster,
Santa Ana, Tustin, Caltrans)
• Tustin Avenue/Rose Drive Corridor
(Placentia, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana,
Caltrans)
• Adams Avenue (Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Caltrans) • Antonio Parkway (Rancho Santa Margarita, County of Orange, Caltrans) • Lake Forest Drive (Lake Forest, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Caltrans) • MacArthur Boulevard/Talbert Avenue (Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach) The purpose of the projects was to develop a signal coordination plan to optimize traffic flow and travel conditions, including the timing plan development, implementation, fine-tuning, and monitoring. The projects consisted of preparation of traffic signal modification plans and traffic signal communication plans for installation of new fiber optic communication ITS systems including CCTV cameras, video detection systems, which were integrated with the respective Traffic Management Centers.
Signing and Striping Plans
The AGA Team has prepared signing and striping plans for many of our client cities. Tasks involve conducting a field review to evaluate existing conditions then preparing a 40 -scale drawing showing both existing and proposed signing and striping. Modifications might include dual left turn lanes, cat -tracking through the intersection for left turns, removal of a crosswalk, green conflict zones for bicyclists, etc.
Review Standard Details
AGA strives to keep up-to-date with the latest state and federal standards to ensure all requirements are being met when completing traffic -related designs. AGA's extensive experience working with a multitude of agencies throughout Southern California has allowed our team to review and work with various standard drawings. Throughout the years we have seen several updates to standard drawings such as
501
revised curb ramp design standards (8.33% vs. 7.5% slopes), updates to traffic signal pole and foundation dimensions, etc. This experience will be valuable in assisting a city with development of its own standard drawings.
When developing standard plans, it is important that all applicable state and federal standards, such as the CA MUTCD, Caltrans Standard Plans and Revised Standard Plans, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards, and the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, to name a few, be considered to ensure a city is in compliance with all mandated requirements.
Traffic Control Plans
AGA staff have extensive experience with both developing and reviewing traffic control plans, and we fully comprehend the details found in the WATCHBOOK. Our Engineers don't just review such plans from a technical perspective, but also consider the context in which the lane and street closures are to be implemented, as well as the traffic characteristics and patterns in the area. Routinely, such reviews involve a site visit to ensure that the design considers all aspects of transportation including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, motorists, traffic signals, land use, private property access, etc.
Traffic Engineering Studies
AGA staff have the experience to develop specific circulation plans, general circulation plans, and coordination of these plans with those developed by metropolitan planning organizations.
Recommendations from study efforts can provide input for development of a city's CIP projects. Some examples of the various types of studies we have completed for our clients include:
Intersection Control Studies
AGA Team members have conducted hundreds of studies for the installation of traffic control devices.
Such studies include traffic signal warrant analyses, traffic signal priority lists, pedestrian crossings, multi - stop application studies, and left -turn studies. The purpose of these studies is to evaluate the most appropriate control for the intersection in question.
Multi -Way Stop Warrant Analysis
The AGA Team is very familiar with the multi -way stop control warrant analysis. The AGA Team has conducted numerous
multi -way stop control analyses throughout the years using the CA MUTCD Multi -Way Stop Application. Typically, the collisions at the intersection are reviewed and traffic counts are conducted and evaluated. For many studies, the number of collisions and side street traffic volumes are less than the requirements and therefore the warrant is not satisfied.
However, many of the requests that an agency receives for all -way stop control are mainly due to sight distance concerns.
Per direction from the City, the multi -way stop control analyses could also include a sight distance analysis.
The sight distance analysis can either involve a stopping sight distance or corner sight distance analyses.
The sight distance analyses can recommend parking restrictions to alleviate any issues regarding sight distance. For any traffic warrant control analysis, field review of the intersection/area is very important.
502
Understanding traffic patterns, roadway layout/conditions and any obstructions that could interfere with sight distance may not show up in the data collected for the study.
Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
The AGA Team has conducted many traffic signal warrant analyses and studies for agencies throughout Southern California. The analysis utilized the CA MUTCD guidelines for Studies and Factors for Justifying Traffic Control Signals (Section 4C.01) and all nine warrants, where applicable. AGA collects and carefully evaluates the count and collision data. Many times, right turning vehicles can be discounted from the count data as vehicles turning right from the side street have adequate gaps in the main street traffic. For the collision assessment, AGA may also need to review the police report to determine the exact cause of an accident.
Along with conducting traffic counts and assessing the traffic collisions, AGA will also evaluate the total delay of an approach during the peak hour. AGA could evaluate the delays using the traffic counts and the Highway Capacity Manual methodology to determine the average delay of a vehicle or conduct traffic delay surveys to assess the delays for each vehicle. If only vehicle delays are the criteria that is satisfied for traffic signal control, AGA will also evaluate what the side street delays would be with a traffic signal.
If the proposed traffic signal is to be synchronized with existing signal coordination along a corridor, the side street delay could be actually higher with the traffic signal due to the traffic signal coordination.
One study that the AGA Team evaluated for traffic signal control, showed that with the existing two-way stop control, the side street vehicles had morning and evening delays ranging from 19-36 seconds. If the intersection were to be signalized and part of the traffic signal coordination system (110 second cycle length), the side street delays could be in the 70-90 second range. Therefore, the installation of a traffic signal would cause even further delays than existing conditions. If collisions or sight distance is of concern, a sight distance analysis will also be evaluated. In lieu of a traffic signal due to sight distance, parking restrictions could be recommended. This is a more cost-effective solution than a traffic signal.
If a traffic signal is determined to be warranted, then an operational analysis will be conducted to determine the traffic signal phasing and operation (protected left turn phasing, split phase, pedestrian crossings, etc.). A cost estimate will then be conducted. Similar to the multi -way stop control analysis, a field review will be conducted to provide a better understanding of the intersection. A brief report summarizing the engineering analysis —both quantitative and qualitative —and providing recommendations as to the most appropriate traffic control measure for the intersection was prepared and submitted to the city.
Safety Studies
The AGA Team has conducted numerous traffic safety studies from large citywide studies such as Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) and Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), to corridor safety studies, intersection safety studies and school safety -circulation studies. Each study involves a full field review of the site and a review of the accident history. The study could be for all modes of transportation such as vehicles and trucks, pedestrians, bicyclists and/or transit. Our recommendations for all studies will be summarized in a Memorandum which is submitted to the city for review.
503
• For an intersection analysis, the collisions will be assessed to determine if a traffic collision pattern exists, the sight distance analyzed, determine the proper intersection traffic control or traffic signal phasing/operation, and review of signage and striping. If the intersection is signalized, review of the traffic signal timing (local signal timing parameters and traffic signal coordination timing plans).

• For street segments, evaluate the signing and striping, especially lane merging/transitions and areas with horizontal/vertical curvatures.
• For school areas, it is important to coordinate with school staff, the school district and crossing guards. AGA will evaluate the circulation of traffic (vehicles, pedestrians and buses) both internally within the school parking lot and externally around the school.
An example from the City of La Habra is a School
Safety Circulation Study. AGA staff worked with
the city, the La Habra City School District, and
Walnut Elementary School to design a new
circulation plan to alleviate excessive vehicle
queuing. The queue would extend from the
school to Walnut Street and vehicles travelling
along Walnut Street would then need to drive on
the opposite side of the street to avoid the
waiting queue. We assisted with the design of
the new parking lot, helped develop staff duties
for pickup/drop off, coordinated with the
crossing guards, and developed the bulb -out
crossing on Walnut Street. During implementation of the plan, AGA worked with the school's principal providing assistance to improve internal traffic flow and additional recommendations.
Walnut Elementary School — Safety Circulation Study
Site Plan
Trio Generation Studies/Traffic Modeling
Given the potential for growth via commercial redevelopment in the City, assessment of the scope and timing of traffic infrastructure improvements to adequately serve this increased traffic demand is an ongoing issue. Short term traffic operational analysis can be combined with long term (10 to 20 years) planning data to evaluate and monitor the impact of urban growth in a dynamic way. For the long-term planning analysis, AGA will coordinate with Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to develop the future traffic volumes. Such analyses are critical for conducting feasibility studies and traffic impact studies/analyses, and for developing traffic impact sections of EIRs and EISs.
LK
504
One way to address potential growth in a successfully proactive manner was developed and implemented by the AGA Team in the City of Fullerton. Based on the General Plan build -out conditions, we determined the ultimate transportation infrastructure needs. In effect, a Citywide Traffic Impact Analysis was developed, including calculation of overall costs to construct the required improvements. As development projects were proposed, AGA conducted individual Traffic Impact Analyses to more definitively determine the appropriate scheduling for implementation of such improvements. This traffic modeling and monitoring service is of tremendous long-term benefit.
A successful project the AGA Team conducted was the
Citywide Traffic Analysis for the City of Torrance which evaluated both existing and future traffic conditions
(level -of -service analyses), existing traffic signal
infrastructure, and provided a citywide safety review
aimed at improving traffic signal efficiency and
resiliency, enhancing roadway safety, and mitigating
both existing and project traffic congestion within the city. The report proposed near -term and long-term
intersection improvements (with conceptual plans),
included an extensive infrastructure plan covering
traffic equipment improvements, and a traffic signal
communications plan which included fiber optic
upgrades.

Engineering and Traffic Surveys
The objective of Engineering and Traffic Surveys is to review the existing speed limits and recommend changes to the speed limits (increase or decrease) in accordance with the requirements of the latest edition Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC). The purpose of these surveys is to provide sufficient information to document that the conditions of Section 627 have been satisfied and that other conditions not readily apparent to a motorist are properly identified. The recently adopted Assembly Bill No. 43 (AB43) amended and added sections to the CVC related to traffic safety and speed limits.
AGA staff have completed speed survey projects for the following cities: Burbank, Gardena, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Laguna Niguel, Redondo Beach, Santa Ana, Seal Beach, Tustin, Westminster, and Whittier.
Miscellaneous Traffic Engineering Services
Following are examples of a few other types of traffic engineering services we commonly provide to our clients.
Review of Land Development Protects/Traffic Studies
AGA staff have reviewed numerous commercial developments and conducted parking studies, traffic impact studies, circulation studies, etc. It is very important to coordinate the initial study scope of work to determine what analysis is required. Whether it is a large development project or a small one, all projects require close attention as each is unique and can potentially have impacts to a city's roadways.
Reviewing land development projects cannot be done from the office by junior level staff alone. It is our senior level staff who have many years of experience with reviewing development projects of all types and sizes. They have the expertise to know what to be concerned about and what is inconsequential when it AGA
505
In -N -Out Final Site Plan
comes to traffic operations related to new development. The review requires hands-on evaluation of street conditions and detailed discussions with developers about the operational characteristics of the proposed development by experienced engineers who have been involved in reviewing and negotiating development projects from both the municipal and private side of the equation. We understand the importance of evaluating the internal circulation and ingress/egress of a site plan. We can identify if there will be any potential traffic (vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists) related impact due to a project.
Below are some tasks AGA will conduct when reviewing traffic studies, site plans, and parking studies for land developments:
• With the new addition of CEQA's Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT), AGA will assist city staff with the review for initial VMT screening to determine if a traffic impact analysis (TIA) is required per a city's TIA guidelines. If a project is expected to have VMT impacts, AGA will closely evaluate the feasibility of the proposed VMT mitigations.
• If applicable, AGA will coordinate with city staff to evaluate the proposed study intersections, trip generation via
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition), traffic count data, Level -of -Service (LOS) analysis and potential improvements. • AGA will evaluate the project site plan, ingress/egress movements along the local roadway(s), and the internal circulation. If there is truck traffic expected for the project, it is important to evaluate where and how the trucks enter and exit the project site. Depending on the roadway (curvature of road and curb lane width), typically a 45-50 foot curb radius is required for a large truck (WB- 67) to enter/exit a driveway. As part of a study's initial scope of work review, AGA will ensure that all relevant turning templates will be included.
• AGA will assist city staff with preparation for Planning and/or Council meetings for presentation of a project. This includes attending both the preparation meeting with the project consultant and the actual city meeting.
One example of how AGA works closely with a
city to evaluate land developments is the
Lambert Road In -N -Out Proposed Site Plan in
the City of La Habra. Drive -through queuing
storage is a vital component of a fast-food
restaurant and is often the critical element for
the project's approval. For several years there
were queuing problems from the In -N -Out drive -
through queue which would extend on to
Lambert Road and block traffic at the
intersection of Lambert Road at Palm Street.
AGA worked with both the City and In -N -Out on
the development of a new site plan that would
improve the drive -through capacity and internal circulation. The final approved plan increased the drive - through capacity by 14-15 vehicles.
506
AGA is also familiar with reviewing different
parking studies from stand-alone projects to
shared parking analyses. If a project does not
provide sufficient parking per a city's Parking
Code, AGA will assist the City with conducting a
parking study that evaluates at least three
similar existing sites. We understand the parking
situation for business areas within a city and can
quickly validate if the project will have parking
impacts to the surrounding area.
Traffic Engineering Construction Support
The AGA Team has provided traffic engineering

Grant Funding Preparation and Administration
The AGA Team has extensive technical experience in assisting various agencies with the following grant funding related tasks:
Grant Funding Needs Analysis
AGA will work with City staff to review grant funding needs including CIP Projects identified by City departments, assess the validity of current funding priority areas, identify changes in funding priority areas, and identify new priority areas for grant related proposals based on funding viability. We will assist City staff in providing strategic outreach to relevant agency staff in determining how to competitively structure the City's funding needs.
LK
507
Grant Funding Research
AGA will conduct research to actively assist in identifying grant resources including, but not limited to, federal/state, foundation, agencies and organizations that support the City's funding needs and priorities for transportation projects. Over the years, the AGA team has successfully assisted multiple cities with RTSSP grants for traffic signal synchronization and system improvements, Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grants for safety improvements, ATP grants for encouraging physical activity such as biking and walking, and MTA grant funds.
Grant Funding Application
AGA will provide technical assistance to City staff with developing the grant funding applications. We will complete all necessary forms in response to all grant requirements and evaluate the cost implications to ensure an executable project that will score favorably based on the funding criteria requirements. AGA will provide the City with a submittal -ready application. The AGA Team previously assisted the following cities with applying for grant funds:
Buena Park - $1.3 million HSIP grant
Downey - $249,900 HSIP grant
Fountain Valley - $1.9 million HSIP grant
Fullerton - $11 million OCTA RTSSP grants
