TITLE: Jamboree Road Signal Synchronization Cooperative Agreement
ABSTRACT:
Staff has been participating with the City of Irvine in support of their multi - jurisdictional
project to optimize signal synchronization timing along Jamboree Road from MacArthur
Boulevard to Portola Parkway in the city of Tustin. Engineering and construction will be
performed in collaboration with adjacent agencies, with the City of Irvine taking the lead
in managing the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Cooperative Agreement with the cities of Irvine, Tustin; and the State of
California for the engineering and construction of the Jamboree Road Traffic Signal
Synchronization project
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item. Staff will be providing in -kind services in
support of the project.
DISCUSSION:
OCTA has adopted a Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P) that
identifies traffic signal synchronization corridors for signals within and across
jurisdictional boundaries. The Regional Program requires that local agencies adopt a
Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) to maintain City eligibility for Project P
funding. On November 23, 2010 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010 -130
approving the Local Signal Synchronization Plan.

On April 26, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011 -33 supporting the City
of Irvine's application to OCTA for the Jamboree Road Signal Synchronization project.
The project will synchronize all of the traffic signals on Jamboree Road from Portola
Parkway in the north to MacArthur Boulevard in the south. The only City -owned and
maintained traffic signal that is included in this project is located at the intersection of
Jamboree Road at MacArthur Boulevard.
In support of the project, City staff will provide matching funding of $ 2,076 in in -kind
services. These in -kind services will include monitoring of new signal timing, and
communications support. Because staff will be providing these services in support of the
project, there is no requirement for City funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

Scope of Work
Jamboree Road Signal Synchronization
INTRODUCTION
The City of Irvine will lead the PROJECT to optimize signal synchronization tuning along
Jamboree Corridor (Portola to MacArthur). Below is the list of intersections:
A i
PRIMARY IMPLEMENTATION
The following is an outline of the scope of services for PROJECT Primary Implementation.
1) Project Administration
CITY shall provide general project administration, environmental processing, and quality control.
PARTICIPATING AGENCIES shall provide support project management services for the project
intersections located within their jurisdiction and assist in maintaining PROJECT schedule.
a) Data Collection
The CITY will assemble with the assistance of PARTICIPATING AGENCIES the necessary
data to understand the existing traffic conditions for the PROJECT and its respective traffic
signal operatlons. This shall include, at minimum, the following:
4 All data, documents, plans, photos, etc. related to each Project Intersection
within the past two years;
• Local agency timing preferences or policies for all modes of travel and special
intersection treatments; and
• Manual and Machine Traffic counts for highway links and intersections for
weekday and weekend time periods for all modes of travel. Special 72 -hour
video counts will be conducted at up to eight (8) intersections along the
corridor with established special modal use.
b) Field Reviews
CITY shall conduct PROJECT field reviews to verify collected data including geometric
layout, inventory of existing traffic signal control and communications, and any and all
factors that impact or affect signal progressions.
2) Signal Synchronization Timing,
The CITY shall develop a signal synchronization model using Synchro and Sim Traffic 8.0
and Tru — Traffic 9.0 to verify the operation of existing timing and then produce and evaluate
potential timing changes that would improve or refine the corridor traffic flows through
improved optimized signal operations. The PARTICIPATING AGENCIES shall be involved
in the review and validation of the recommended signal timing. The OCTA Corridor
Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI) combines Average Speed, Stops per Mile, and
Greens per Red (number of intersections successfully traversed on a Green Light vs.
Stopped by a Red Light) into a composite index. The CSPI shall be the defined metric in this
evaluation.
The CITY shall utilize the approved Optimized Signal Timing and implement the timing into
the central and field controller systems and provide Fine Tuning services. The After Study
Travel Time Runs Shall be performed and the Before to After comparison CSPI shall then
be determined.
3) Before and After Studies and Reports
CITY shall conduct real -time floating car "runs" in each direction during the planned (Before)
and implemented (After) time periods of PROJECT traffic signal synchronization. Summary
reports shall be prepared by CITY in coordination with the PARTICIPATING AGENCIES to
indentify improvements in metrics from the Before to After conditions. The Before and After
Study shall constitute the PROJECT Final Report.
Additionally, this report shall document improvements accomplished and recommend
procedures for continuing maintenance, surveillance, and evaluation of the coordinated
signal system.
4). Engineering Design. Review, and Procurement /Construction — SUppolt'Infrastructure
Each PARTICIPATING AGENCY shall provide sufficient staffing to provide Engineering
Design Review of design documentation. If design documentation is provided by the
PARTICIPATING AGENCY for PROJECT, the Engineering Design Review requirement
shall be satisfied. Purchase and construction /installation of the requested traffic signal
infrastructure and upgrades, software, licenses, or other components as approved in the
application shall be by the CITY in the name of and for the end user PARTICIPATING
AGENCY. The CITY shall work with the PARTICIPATING AGENCIES to coordinate design,
identification of applicable standards /specifications, purchasing and /or installation of the
required improvements. Design and other technical support to implement the upgrades
shall be subject to the designated cost estimate. The budget for these improvements is
fixed to the approved budget and will be subject to revised scope or additional contributions.
The highest priority improvements shall be those that are required to optimize signal timing.
The PARTICIPATING AGENCY shall waive all fees for permits and inspections and shall
provide sufficient professional staffing to provide constriction support and inspection
services to PROJECT.
PROJECT TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION — ON GOING MAINTENANCE AND
MONITORING
For a period of two (2) years (24 months), from the date of PROJECT acceptance, CITY shall
provide for On Going Maintenance and Monitoring of PROJECT. This shall include the
observation of corridor and system intersection operations to maintain PROJECT integrity.
CITY will make observations and provide recommended changes to PARTICIPATING AGENCY
for approval and implementation. CITY shall also provide resources for maintenance and repair
of any PROJECT installed infrastructure for the same time period. PARTICIPATING AGENCY
shall provide sufficient staffing for assistance in administration of this task.
