automation for both software and hardware as is cost effective. Appropriate technology is applied to promote efficiency, ensure data integrity, and provide our clients with data that is immediately useful. Subsequently, reports and data visualization tools are employed that aid users in managing infrastructure assets as well as provide insightful information for planning and funding efforts. Typically, signing and pavement marking databases are expensive to create (data collection), and final delivered databases are often not maintained, which increases the total cost of ownership. Neglia mitigates this problem by examining current data upkeep procedures, identifying discontinuous processes, and finally instituting data entry procedures, technologies, and methods that are not burdensome and thus better accepted and utilized by staff. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Planning, Conducting, Coordinating, and Analyzing Traffic Surveys An evaluation of the project at hand is performed to assess what traffic information is necessary to support the design/decision process. A site visit by Mr. Intindola and/or members of the project team determines what specific locations would provide the necessary information. Typically performed surveys include manual and automatic traffic counts, parking demand studies, determination of “new” and “pass- by” traffic, determination of modal choice and pedestrian demand, as well as vehicular speed gap and class studies. In addition to automatic traffic recorders, manual and electronic traffic count boards are utilized. The data is downloaded into the appropriate software that evaluates it and is capable of producing reports, graphs, or simply printing raw data. Traffic Demand and Traffic Assignment Model Development Traffic modeling is based on the population distribution and existing roadway network in the vicinity of the project area. Population and modal choice data are obtained from the most recent Census data. The study area depends on the nature of the use; however, it typically encompasses a 20 - 30-minute travel time. The distribution of traffic attracted to the site is determined by a comparison of travel time from nearby population centers to the site, thereby helping establish proportional demand. These models are based on methods accepted by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), as well as by the Institute of

TRAFFIC DESIGN Roadway System Conceptual Design In the metropolitan area, right of way acquisition is the critical path activity for the majority of roadway projects. Our design experience, coupled with our NJDOT Non-Real Estate evaluations (NRE) which takes into consideration acquisition impacts, provide Neglia with the perspective that concept design must consider creative alignment alternatives, though guided by accepted design criteria. Parking Lot Design and Analysis The provision of adequate and safe parking is a basic site amenity at the level of gas and electric utilities. We calculate parking demand through our municipal review services, NJDOT acquisition evaluations, and private site layout. On a daily basis, we design and review parking lot layouts with respect to access, adequate widths for circulation aisles, parking space widths that match the intended user, and drainage and lighting installations. We also have experience in multi-level parking facility design in the event that projected parking demand exceeds surface parking capacity. Pavement Marking Design Roadway striping plans for intersections that include details such as left-turn bays, crosswalk treatments, and directional pavement arrows, are routinely submitted for agency review and approval. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices serves as our starting reference, which is then applied to the specific RFP- WALKER ROAD, S VALLEY ROAD AND ROONEY CIRCLE WEST ORANGE Page | 6
