EXHmIT "A"
COHsultant shall examine the effect of impleP1f':nting lf~.riOVS roadway improvements both within,
and p,xterior to, the A ventura Mall property if I an effort to detennine the most advantageous
configuration of mall access roadways and examine the effect any recommended improvements
may have on the area roadway network. An engineering study/report will be prepared to
specifically address issues raised by staff of the Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) in
our meeting of June 2nd, 2005 and will, as a result, be suitable for submittal to FOOT as their
consent will likely be required prior to incorporation of any improvements to either the Aventura
Mall access locations or surrounding roadways. Through our subconsultant, Tinter Associates,
Inc. we propose to complete the following tasks:
Paramics Micro-Simulation Model
Quadstone Paramics, a suite of microscopic traffic simulation tools, will be utilized to model the
entire area bounded by and including N.E. 199'h Street (Aventura Boulevard) to the north, the
William Lehman Causeway (State Road 856) to the south, Biscayne Boulevard (U.S. 1) to the
west and Country Club Drive West to the east.
Paramics has been selected to complete the requested analysis as it can be applied to any aspect
of a modem transportation network with relative ease and clarity. Some of the most common
application areas include:
. Priority intersections, signalized intersections and roundabouts,
. Urban cities, corridor studies and congested freeways,
. Public transportation and light rail,
. Actuated signal control,
. Special user groups, i.e. HOV, emergency vehicles, transit priority,
. ITS elements, i.e. ramp metering, route control, lane usage, freeway speed control,
. Work zones, event management and pollution modeling, and
. Public presentation.
Alternatives Codinl!
The following schedule of access and roadway improvements will be analyzed in a variety of
combinations within the Paramics system.
Within the Mall Property:
. One-way perimeter road,
. Internal roundabouts at intersection of U.S. 1 driveways with internal perimeter road.
Outside the Mall Property:
. Eliminate southern U.S. 1 access location and remove signal,
. Revise U.S. 1 access locations: southern driveway to be entrance only, northern driveway
to accommodate all exiting maneuvers and one lane of entering traffic,
. 'Drop-in' access ramp from the William Lehman Causeway (westbound) accommodating
inbound vehicles only,
. Flyover exiting maneuver from the Mall property to the William Lehman Causeway
(eastbound),
. Additional westbound lane at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Aventura Boulevard (should
it accommodate left or right-turning vehicles?),
. Extend westbound frontage road west of Country Club Jrive to merge with the William
Lehman Causeway. Provide MaH Wltt entrance and exit along the new segment. FOOT
concern that this will create a weave problem on Causeway due to queues at U.S. 1.
Model Runs and Analvsis
Eight (8) separate and distinct runs of the Paramics model will be required.
Data Collection
The data collection effort is expected to include 17 turning movement count locations (4 hours of
data at each location) and 8 AOT counts (24 hours of data at each location).
Report Preparation
FOOT staff has requested in their terms a 'mini-PO&E study' with a do nothing scenario and
future year analyses. The idea is to identify the appropriate combination of improvements and
show from an operational standpoint that access and circulation in and around the A ventura Mall
area will improve.
Should it become necessary to perform any additional work not specified herein, we will be
pleased to do so at the rates specified in the Agreement between the City of A ventura and Craven
Thompson and Associates, Inc. and approved by the City Commission on July 3, 2001.
