Dear Ms. Jennifer:
TEDSI INFRASTRUCTIJRE GROUP (TEDSI) appreciates the opportunity to submit this professional
engineering services proposal to perform Traffic Signal Design Services at nine (9) intersections
along Magnolia Road I Southfork Drive in the City of Pearl and.
Traveling west to east, following are the locations along Magnolia Road ISouthfork Drive:
1. Southfork Drive @ County Road 94
2. Southfork Drive @ County Road 90
3. Southfork Drive @ County Road 89
4. Magnolia Road @ FM 1128
5. Magnolia Road @ Harkey Road
6. Magnolia Road @ McLean Road
7. Magnolia Road @ Veterans Road
8. Magnolia Road @ SH 35 (Currently
Signalized)
9. Magnolia Road @ Pearland Parkway
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The engineering services to be provided by TEDSI are for the Preliminary Engineering, Signal Design
and Signal Timing Development & Implementation Phases of this project. Survey, ContractlBidding
and Construction Support Phases are not part of this project. The Scope of Services is identified in
Attachment "A".
We have received a copy of the MagnolialSouthfork Project Summary Report (prepared by Turner,
Collie & Braden, Inc.) from the City of Pearland, in which the above nine locations have been
determined to warrant conventional traffic signal controls. Therefore, traffic signal warrant studies
are not required for this project. Since the existing two-lane to four-lane discontinuous roadway will
be completely upgraded to a four-lane divided boulevard, a new Survey has been commissioned by
the City, which is being performed by c.L. Davis. Therefore, Survey is not part of this project.
Temporary signalization (during construction) is not anticipated for any of the locations (including
SH 35) and therefore is not part of the design. We anticipate that the Contractor will be able to

facilitate any traffic control during construction as per TxDOT TCP standards (i.e., temporary lane
closures). Therefore, TCP design is not included as partofthis design.
SCHEDULE
The work defined in the Scope of Services can be completed within one hundred fifty (150) calendar
days (beginning first week of June 2005 and ending first week of November 2005) after receiving
authorization to proceed from the City of Pearland. The project schedule does not include the time
required for agency review.
COMPENSATION
The work as defined in the Scope of Services - Attachment "A" will be performed at a Lump Sum
fee. The lump sum fee for 1) Preliminary Engineering Phase is $1,500.00, 2) Signal Design Phase is
$148,500.00 and 3) Signal Timing Development & Implementation Phase is $20,000.00. Therefore
the total engineering fee for this project is set at $170,000.00. The amount shown includes all
necessary direct expenses estimated to complete the effort as specified in the Scope of Services.
These fees include all labor and no-labor reimbursable expenses required for this project.
Any work that is not part of the Scope of Services will be considered as "Additional Services" and will be
compensated on an hourly basis per the TEDSI fee schedule shown in Attaclunent "B". Invoices will be
rendered monthly showing the percent completed for each task (either as [mal or partial billing).
Invoices for Additional Services, if any, shall include daily time sheets showing employee
classification and employee time charges to the project and any other documents as may be required
by City .of Pearl and.
This proposal is valid for ninety (90) calendar days and does not constitute a binding contract. A
legal contract agreement specifying explicit terms and conditions shall be executed prior to
commencement of work. We trust that the information provided is sufficient for you to complete
your evaluation of this proposal. However, should you have any questions, please advise.
Thank you for considering TEDSI INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP for this project. We are excited and look
forward to working with you to serve City of Pearl and.
Sincerely,
TEDS! INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP

ATTACHMENT "A"
SCOPE OF ENGINEERING SERVICES
GENERAL
This Scope for Professional Engineering Services is to perform Traffic Signal Design Services at
the following nine (9) intersections along the approximately 7-mile long Magnolia Road I
Southfork Drive corridor in the City of Pearl and.
1. Southfork Drive @ County Road 94
2. Southfork Drive @ County Road 90
3. Southfork Drive @ County Road 89
4. Magnolia Road @FM 1128
5. Magnolia Road@ Harkey Road
6. Magnolia Road @ McLean Road
7. Magnolia Road @ Veterans Road
8. Magnolia Road @ SH 35 (Currently
Signalized)
9. Magnolia Road @ Pearland Parkway
City of Pearland has made aware that this project will be constructed in two separate packages.
The first package could include three signals, and the second could include six signals. Signal
design shall be done for all nine signals at one time and the appropriate drawings inserted into
the applicable packages.
The scope of services and associated fees are based on the following: 1) TEDSI Infrastructure
Group (TEDSI) will coordinate all of it's work with City of Pearl and Engineering Department, 2)
TEDSI will obtain Existing and Projected Traffic Counts, Topographic Survey, Soil Test Results
and Proposed Roadway drawings and electronic files for the above nine intersections from the
City of Pearland, 3) TEDSI will obtain service outlet location and data statements from the
power company for the required electrical services, 4) This project will be designed as one
complete PS&E deliverable, which will be inserted into the Roadway PS&E Package(s) put
together by the City, and 5) Traffic Signal Design/Timing will be in accordance with the Texas
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD), Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), TxDOT Houston District, and City of Pearl and Criteria.
In Year 2007, the proposed east-west MagnolialSouthfork (from SH 288 to Pearland Parkway)
will be a four-lane divided concrete boulevard facility with curb and gutter within 100-foot right-
of-way. The intersection geometry includes left turn lanes on all approaches. Speed limit will be
posted at 35 miles per hour (mph).
SURVEY
The City of Pearland shall provide a topographic survey to TEDSI, which would include as a
minimum the right-of-way and features within the right-of-way as follows:
. All existing traffic control devices and traffic signs.
. Proposed roadway paving and intersecting cross streets (including medians, mountable
curbs, pavement markings etc.).
. Driveways, sidewalks, structures, sidewalk ramps (if present), railroads, gates etc.
. Above ground utilities - power poles, valves, manholes, inlets, overhead lines, etc.

TEDSI INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP
Maf!nolia/Southfork Traffic Si~nals. Citv of Pearl and
4/27/05
The limits of survey for each intersection will consist of the immediate intersection area (shared
pavement) and at least 200 feet back from each radius return of each intersection "leg". The
survey shall be in Microstation CADD format containing a plan drawing in English working
units of the intersection surveyed. All related graphical elements shall be isolated into separate
levels (Le., text callouts for pavement in separate level than pavement lines) to provide flexibility
for design purposes and shall conform to TxDOT's standard levelization map (or as required by
the City).
This survey shall provide the basis for the PS&E traffic signal design. It is intended for all
proposed improvements to be implemented within existing right-of-way.
TASK A : PreIiminarv En2ineerin2 Phase
Based on proposed roadway geometry and Year 2007 projected intersection traffic volumes
obtained from the City of Pearland, TEDSI shall determine coordinatability of the new signals
for signal coordination and progression purposes along MagnolialSouthfork.
TEDSI shall then determine the effectiveness of using Spread-spectrum Radio technology for
wireless communication and signal coordination between signals. Merits of this technology will
be discussed and estimated construction costs will be provided to compare against the hardwire
interconnection that the City has proposed as part of roadway construction.
TEDSI will submit two (2) draft copies of the Preliminary Engineering Report to the City for
interim review. TEDSI will submit two (2) copies of the final report after incorporating any
review comments.
TASK B: Traffic Si2Dal Desi2D Phase
TEDSI shall design plans/details and prepare drawings for permanent traffic signal
improvements and interconnection at each of the nine locations within the project limits. This
includes the current signal at SH 35. This signal appears to be aged, and we recommend that the
signal be removed and replaced in its entirety.
The traffic signal layouts shall be designed in conformance with TxDOT Houston District
standards and specifications with input from the City of Pearland. Material for construction of
the proposed traffic signals shall conform to TxDOT standards and specifications. Traffic signal
design shall be prepared in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements as adopted by TxDOT. All required standards, specifications, general notes,
construction schedule and cost estimates would be included.
The existing Stop signs shall be removed and replaced with a fully-actuated conventional signal
system at each location. The proposed design shall be dual mast arm and/or single mast arm
combination, with left-turn and pedestrian actuated signals, all of which will be controlled by
NEMA-compatible actuated controller. Video Imaging Vehicle Detection System (VIVDS), or
Loop Detection, will be used at each location to detect traffic. Pavement markings shall be in
accordance with the latest edition of the Texas Manual on Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD,
2003 edition) and TxDOT standards. If necessary, safety lighting at the intersection will be
TEDSI INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP
Page 2 of 4
Magnolia/Southfork Traffic Simals, City of Pearland

included on top of the traffic poles as part of the signal design. TEDSI shall obtain electrical
service locations for each intersection from applicable power company. TEDSI shall also
provide a paving drawing for each intersection showing wheelchair ramps and median nose
revisions as needed at each intersection to be in compliance with ADA requirements and TxDOT
standards.
Temporary signalization (during construction) is not anticipated for any of the locations
(including SH 35) and therefore is not part of the design. We anticipate that the Contractor will
be able to facilitate any traffic control during construction as per TxDOT TCP standards (i.e.,
temporary lane closures). Therefore, TCP design is not included as part of this design.
Plan layouts for each location shall be prepared in English units at 1 :20 scale, reduced to half-
sized drawings (1 :40). Permanent traffic signal plans shall consist of, but not limited, to the
following drawings:
. Existing Condition Layouts - to identify existing traffic control and existing intersection
geometry.
. Proposed Signal Layouts - to specify proposed signal improvements including new Mast
Arm Poles and Controller locations with foundations, Vehicle Signal Heads, Pole
Schedules, VIVDS Detectors (or Loop Detectors), VIVDS Detector Schedules, Electrical
Schedules, Phasing Diagram if required etc.
. Paving and Pavement Marking Layouts - to specify wheelchair ramps I median nose
revisions (as needed at each intersection) and intersection pavement markings (including
pedestrian crosswalks). This information will be provided to the City, in turn to be
forwarded to the Engineer that is developing the Roadway, Signing & Pavement Marking
Plans.
. Sign Details - to specify overhead intersection street name sign details.
. Traffic Signal General Notes - to provide guidance in constructing the proposed traffic
signal.
. Proposed Communication Layout - to specify proposed Spread-spectrum Radio or
hardwire underground interconnection between applicable signals, within the project limits.
. Basis of Estimate - for all signal and pavement marking materials required at the
intersection.
. Standard Detail Drawings (for traffic signal installation). Standards requiring
modification shall be done so by TEDSI, in addition to providing all other required
standards.
Note: Per TxDOT criteria, this task does not include providing Signal Elevation Layouts for
mast arm signal system design (which is preferred on this project).
Design review drawings shall be prepared as per "Understanding the Highway DesignlReview
Process", TxDOT Houston District, 1998. Interim reviews shall be at the 30%, 60% and 90%
submittals. All review submittals shall consist of one or two half-size (11" x 17") copies of the
entire plan set at 1 "=40' per TxDOT's requirement. The 100% submittal will be the final
deliverable in Mylar format. All design drawings shall be prepared with CADD using
Microstation graphics software and shall be consistent with the level structure required by the
TEDSI INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP

City of Pearland. Computer files containing all design drawings required for the Project shall
accompany the Mylar prints to the City. Said computer files shall comply with the City's
requirements.
TASK C: Si!!nal Timin!! Development and Implementation Phase
Based on proposed roadway geometry and Year 2007 projected intersection traffic volumes
obtained from the City of Pearland, TEDSI shall develop preliminary or initial signal timing
plans (including time-space diagrams) for each location for the AM, Off, PM and Saturday
peak periods using "Synchro" signal timing software.
In addition, TEDSI shall prepare two (2) copies of the Controller Timing Book per location in
accordance with TxDOT guidelines and submit them to the City. One such book will be placed
in the Controller Cabinet after the signal is installed.
TEDSI will load the signal timing information developed into the controllers at the time of signal
turn-on per City of Pearland (and/or TxDOT) procedures. While in the field, TEDSI shall
observe the actual operation of the new timing plans and recommend field adjustments to
improve traffic operations.
