SUBJECT: Scope of Work
INTRODUCTION
Project #
The SR 12 corridor has experienced a recent increase in crashes at the A Street and Tank Farm
Road intersections. The City of Pasco intends to identify practical solutions for these intersections
through planning level alternatives analysis and cost estimating. This analysis may include
improvements at one or both intersections, on either at -grade or grade -separation alternatives.
The existing intersection at SR 12 and Farm Tank Road currently has a 40 -ft median strip dividing
south- and north- bound traffic from SR 12. Space is limited, often increasing congestion and rear-
ended collisions especially on the north -bound lanes. The existing intersection at SR 12 and East'A'
Street was recently reconfigured to a forced right turn onto the highway. New development from
Amazon and others in the vicinity is expected to increase truck traffic through the area. The
alternatives proposed by this feasibility study will assist the City and WSDOT in identifying the
preferred solution and minimize further impacts to Local Road users.
This project will also include completion of a RAISE (Rebuild American Infrastructure with
Sustainability and Equity) Grant application for the preferred solution selected by this feasibility
study. The application would incorporate in its narrative parts of the analysis performed,
conceptual solution development and planning level cost estimates for this project, as well as
benefit -cost analysis. This application is due on April 14, 2022.
This scope of work will address the following critical aspects of the project:

NO -BUILD ANALYSIS
The CONSULTANT shall develop forecasts for the year 2045 conditions using the BFCOG travel
demand model and trip generation and distribution information from the most recent TIAs in the
vicinity of the project area. These forecasts will be used to evaluate "No -Build" traffic operations at
up to eight project study intersections to determine the Level of Service (LOS) and delay.
The CONSULTANT shall perform HSM predictive analysis of the same study segments and
intersection identified under the existing conditions sub task to analysis and predict future No -Build
safety conditions within the project study area.
The CONSULTANT shall perform an assessment of future freight movements and key route travel

MESR 12 AND A STREET/TANK FARM FEASIBILTY STUDY . SCOPE OF WORK 8
The CONSULTANT shall develop up to four preliminary concepts to replace or improve the SR 12/A
Street and SR 12/Tank Farm Road intersection. These concepts will be developed based on input
received from the TAC through Concept Board as well as other ideas from the project team. The
concepts will be developed and conceptually sketched in two dimensions (no profile) for
presentation to the TAC and project stakeholders. The concepts will be outlined with simple double
line plots showing approximate alignments and potential ROW impacts. The CONSULTANT shall
develop high-level planning cost estimates for these initial alternatives to assist in the screening
and scoring process and to ensure that the alternatives consider fall within the RAISE grant funding

alternatives in advance of the alternatives refinement workshop.
Assumptions
• No analysis on the preliminary alternatives beyond planning level cost estimates.
• No more than four alternatives will be drafted for this subtask

• Planning Level Cost estimates (ranges) for up to four alternatives
ALTERNATIVES REFINEMENT WORKSHOP
The CONSULTANT shall compile the preliminary alternative concepts along with the Existing and
No -Build conditions analysis into a presentation for a three-hour video conference TAC alternatives
refinement workshop. The TAC will use the findings from the Existing and No -Build analysis, the
screening and evaluation criteria from project Methods and Assumptions, and the project purpose
and need to screen and score the four proposed alternatives. The highest scoring alternative will be
selected as the preliminary preferred alternative, pending refinement through design and analysis.
The TAC shall also discuss potential refinements to the preferred alternatives in the latter portion of
the workshop.
Assumptions
• Concept Board shall be used as the primary tool for the TAC and project stakeholders to
communicate project concepts to the CONSULTANT and the CITY

discussion and outcomes
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
MSR 12 AND A STREET/TANK FARM FEASIBILTY STUDY • SCOPE OF WORK 9
The CONSULTANT shall take the preliminary preferred alternative provided as an outcome of the
TAC alternatives refinement workshop and shall perform Future Build conditions analysis for the
alternative. This analysis shall include the following:
• Future 2045 PM peak hour Build conditions traffic volume forecast, accounting for access
changes and/or new facilities
• Future 2045 PM peak hour Build HCM analysis using Synchro and Sidra (if roundabouts are
included in the concept).
• Future Build conditions predicted crashes using Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) and HSM
methodologies
• Future Build travel time changes for key freight movements
• Future Build travel time changes and project safety benefits for nearby disadvantaged
communities
The outcomes of the traffic and safety analysis will be used to refine the preferred alternative to a
recommended number of lanes, and recommended intersection control. The results from the
analysis will also be used to support the benefit -cost analysis and other merit criteria in the RAISE
grant application.
Assumptions
• No queuing analysis shall be performed as part of the traffic analysis

of the application that could be enhanced through further evaluation in support of other grant
applications in the future.
TASK 3.1 — BENEFIT -COST ANALYSIS
This task covers the Benefit -Cost Analysis (BCA) and supporting analysis of traffic operations and
safety improvement anticipated to form a major component of the BUILD grant application. The
technical analysis from the Feasibility Study will be used as the basis for the project benefit
calculations, and the conceptual layouts and planning level cost estimates will be used for the cost
component. The CONSULTANT reference guidance published by the US DOT with respect to
benefit -cost analyses in carrying out this task, and will apply this guidance where feasible given the
project time constraints and limited analysis efforts from the Feasibility Study.
Deliverable(s)
Technical memorandum documenting the full BCA assumptions, analysis, and results

• Innovation
All of the criteria that apply to the project will be compiled with in write-ups for the CITY to review.
Assumptions
• The merit criteria addressed in the grant application will likely not include all eight criteria,
depending on the project ultimately selected as the preferred alternative. The merit write-ups
will focus only on the applicable criteria for the project.
