Page 4
The City of Cupertino ("City" or "Cupertino") has received a Program for Arterial System
Synchronization (PASS) grant to deploy optimized signal timing plans along the Stevens Creek
Boulevard corridor. There are a total of 14 project intersections identified for three weekday peak period
(AM, midday, PM) and two weekend peak period re-timing as part of this project. In addition, three of
the project intersections will be re-timed for school peaks (morning arrival and afternoon dismissal).
While two signals (at the SR-85 freeway ramps) are owned by the State , all project signals are
maintained and operated by the City of Cupertino, as shown in Figure 1 .

PASS consultants, which is attached hereto as Appendix A-1
The following outlines additions , clarifications, and/or deletions to the standard Scope of Work based
on discussions with MTC and the City of Cupertino .
Task 1.0 Project Kick-off

As part of the PASS application, the City of Cupertino has provided the following items in digital
format:
• Existing timing sheets .
• Synchro models of the study corridor.
• Traffic signal as-built plans.
• Collision data.
• Speed surveys (to be provided).
Per the kick-off meeting, lteris created a secure File Sharing site for data sharing, which can be used by
all project stakeholders to upload or download project related files. Access to the site is password
protected: https ://secure.iteris.corn/share/MTCP ASS Cupertino
In addition to the data provided, the City of Cupertino has provided the following information
regarding the corridors, preferences and work along the project corridor:
MTC/City of Cupertino
PASS FY 17-18 Joint Funding Agreement
Page 7
• The west end of the corridor tends to be more congested with the presence of the SR-
85 interchange, higher activity land use, De Anza College, and Apple offices ( down
on Bubb Rd.).
• The west end of the corridor also has tighter signal spacing and higher pedestrian
activity due to a higher presence of commercial/retail.
• The interaction between the SR-85 ramp signals and Bubb Rd. is critical due to the very
close signal spacing. In addition, during the AM, a critical movement is the SB off-
ramp traffic turning right onto Stevens Creek and then immediately turning left onto
Bubb Rd.
• Stevens Creek has peak patterns that is generally WB in the AM and EB in the PM.
• During the AM, Stevens Creek WB traffic has been observed to back up to Stelling Rd.
Sub-Tasks 2.1.2 to 2.1.5 Turning Movement & ADT Counts
As part of the discussions at the kick-off meeting, seven-day ADT counts will be collected at the
following four (4) locations:
1. Stevens Creek Blvd. between SR-85 NB Ramp and Mary Ave.;
. 2. Stevens Creek Blvd. between Bandley Wy. And De Anza Blvd.;
3. Stevens Creek Blvd. between Torre Ave. and Blaney Ave.; and
4. Stevens Creek Blvd. between Wolfe Rd. and Finch Ave.
ADT data will be used to determine the 2-hour peak hour periods to collect turning movement counts
(vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle) for the weekday (AM, midday, and PM) and weekend (two peak
periods) for all 14 project intersections. The ADT data will also be used to determine the peak hour
periods counts for school (arrival and dismissal) for the three project intersections as summarized in
Table 1.
Turning movement counts will be collected during the same week as the ADT counts. Video recording
at each intersection will be collected for one weekday and one weekend to be processed after the review
of the ADT counts. Traffic counts (turning movement and ADT) will not be collected on holidays,
including a holiday week, or during abnormal weather conditions, on school breaks or periods of
construction.
Per the requirement of PASS, all of the data collected will be provided to the City and MTC in digital
format in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.
Sub-Task 2.1. 7 Travel Time Studies
Travel time and delay studies along the study corridors will occur during times and days that are
representative of the times and days which coordination plans will be developed. A minimum of four runs
will be conducted for each direction, for each peak period, along the study corridor. Travel time and delay
studies will be conducted using the floating car method with the Tm-Traffic software.
The travel time and delay studies will be conducted twice: 1) during the field inventory stage, as part
of the existing conditions analysis , prior to the implementation of the new timing plans and 2)
approximately one week after the new timing plans have been implemented and fine-tuned (as part of
sub-task 4.4).
MTC/City of Cup ertino
PASS FY 17-18 Joint Funding Agreement
Pag e 8
The corridors will be driven at approximately the same time of day in order to more accurately compare
the before and after travel time survey results.
Sub-Task 2.2 Analysis of Existing Conditions
Sub-Task 2.2.1
Each study intersection will be reviewed to ensure that mandatory timing parameters meets the latest
California Manual for Uniform Control Devices (MUTCD), 2014. The review shall include basic
timing parameters including: minimum green; yellow and red clearance ; and pedestrian walk and
clearance.
Sub-Task 2.2 .4
The Synchro traffic modeling software will be used for this project. The City has provided Iteris with
existing calibrated Synchro files, which will be used and revised for this project. The files will be created
for the time periods in which turning movement counts are collected. All final products will be saved
in Synchro 7 (or newer to be determined by the City) format with a single Synchro network for all
project corridors for each peak period scenario.
Task 3.0 Development of Recommendations
In addition to the deliverables for Task 3 listed in the standard SSB, an interim Technical Memorandum
(Deliverable 3A.1) will be developed to summarize the preliminary recommended signal groupings
and cycle lengths, including minimum cycle length requirements based on pedestrian crossing times ,
for review by the City prior to development of the Draft Recommendations Report (Deliverable 3A.2).
Included in the technical memorandum will be the rationale, supported by technical analysis, for the cycle
length recommended and the groupings of signals . At a minimum, the technical analysis will include
minimum cycle length evaluation, identification of critical signals that drive the cycle length, and
field observations.
The following list the guidelines for City intersections that will be used during the analysis process:
• Default protected left-tum phases to lead-lead. It is acceptable to change lead-lag
phase sequences during different peak periods when justified and needed for progression.
• Yellow times will be determined based on the g5th percentile speeds from available speed
surveys. Otherwise, use the posted speed limit.
• Cycle length to be even numbers to allow half-cycle at intersections ifneeded.
• Evaluate all through phases for bicycle minimum green times for the City's consideration.
Task 4.0 Implementation and Evaluation
Sub-Task 4.1
Proposed changes to the exi sting timing parameters will be provided on the existing timing sheets . Old
data will be crossed out and the new proposed values will be hand written on the sheets in red ink.
Sub-Task 4.2
MTC/City of Cup ertino
PASS FY 17-18 Joint Funding Agre ement
Page 9
Cupertino staff will manually enter new timings into StreetWise based on approved marked-up timing
sheets and implement (download) the new timing plans through the City's central signal system located
in the City's TOC before fine-tuning commences . New timings plans will need to be implemented during
Sub-Task 4.3
Iteris will field fine tune the implemented timings. Iteris staff will have access to the StreetWise central
system in the TOC to make changes during fine tuning. Iteris will provide final fine-tuned timings once
the City approves the implemented timings. Two hardcopies of the final fine-tuned timing sheet covers
and timing sheet printouts from the central signal system for each study intersection will be provided to
the City.
Sub-Task 4.4
Approximately one week after the new timing plans have been implemented and fine-tuned, travel time
surveys will be conducted as described in Sub-Task 2.1. 7. The study corridors will be driven at
approximately the same time of day as those conducted for the before study in order to more accurately
compare the before and after travel time survey results.
Task 5.0 Additional Services
There are no additional services included as part of this project.
