Tender Details
Tender Description
The Principal Tasman District Council is inviting tenders for Contract 1383 Professional Services Traffic Counting.
The scope of the work is fully described in the attached tender document, and key items of work are:
1. to provide the relevant technical expertise and services necessary to deliver the Council’s traffic counting programme.
2. to complete an annual traffic counting programme and enter this data into RAMM.
3. to optimise the number of traffic counts via a combination of:
a. Implementing the RAMM Traffic Count Estimation module
b. Optimising traditional week long classified counts so that they collect valuable speed data and classified vehicle counts
c. Undertake a review of the count programme by the Consultant and the Client considering all of the data sources available to Council. This may allow the number of annual and 6-monthly counts to be reduced, while still maintaining robust traffic count estimation across the network. The 6-monthly counts were initially intended to give an indication of seasonal variation. With better use of the traffic data from the continuous count sites, some seasonal variation counts may be able to be reduced.
4. To provide a database additional to RAMM to store and present data for:
a. Traffic speed
b. Cycle counts
c. Intersection turning counts, and
d. Council’s two continuous count sites
e. Such a database will be developed by the Consultant and Client together. The database shall be in a readily accessible format and regularly updated by the Consultant. A simple database setup in Excel can meet the requirements.
