Hr. Carmen Annunziato, Planning Director
City of Boynton Beach
120 N.E. 2nd Avenue
P. O. Box 310
Boynton Beach, Florida 33435
RE: Response to questions of the TRS reviewed in our meeting on February 18,
1986.
Dear Carmen:
In response to the questions raised in the attached memoranda, I am providing
you herewith our responses for the record. Memorandum #1 dated February
12, 1986, from Carmen Annunziato, Planning Director
ITEM 1: The Proponent still wishes to proceed with consideration of the
commercial sites as shown on their submitted Master Development Plan.
Although we recognize your concern, we maintain a great deal of concern
ourselves that the parcels be able to support the highest cal iber of
conmercial uses.
ITEM Z: The question, with respect to a central loading and unloading
facility for rail~service, the Proponent has reviewed such a proposal with a
number of rail users and have found it to be inappropriate. All potential
users require direct siding access to their facility.
ITEM 3: The Master Development Plan is presented in full accordance with
the PIO Zoning Ordinance. We intend to provide all of the required greenbelt
buffers adjacent to properties having a different zoning classification, in
complete compliance with the Code.
ITEM 4 The rights-of-way for all interior roadways will be 100 feet wide
Since we will be proposing some variations on the basic sidewalk/bike path
scheme, we will provide complete detail for review during the platting
process. Again, we expect to provide the City with pavement sections,
landscaping and pedestrian amenities in excess of Code requirements. The
typical roadway section will have two twenty-four foot wide roadways with a
sixteen foot wide landscaped median.

,
ITEM 5: The schedule for the Environmental Impact Analysis phase of the
Interchange construction has been presented at the meeting, and a copy is
attached hereto for your further review. We expect to execute the contract
with Kimley-Horn, our consultant, on or about March 4.
Memorandum #2 dated February 12, 1986, from Perry A. Cessna, Director of
Ut i I ities.
ITEM A is comentary on water distribution.
ITEM 1: We hereby agree to loop the water mains as requested at the cul-de-
sacs.
ITEM 2: The relocation of the water main routing to the High Ridge Road
right-of-way and the additional routing along the north side of the canal is
agreed to. Final plans will be prepared in accordance therewith.
ITEM 3: At this initial phase, we will agree to a 1,000 foot maximum
distance bet~een line valves; however, we expect to review this plan in more
detail with the City during the platting phases. When 1,000 foot spacing will
provide for fewer than four utility connections, we feel it is appropriate
that the spacing be increased
ITEM 4: We hereby agree to add an additional ten Inch gate valve where
requested.
ITEM 5: With respect to easements required for water and sewer, we hereby
request that ten foot wide easements be approved where Installation occurs
outside of dedicated right-of-way In these Instances, we will provide for a
ten foot building setback from an easement, thereby providing for a thirty
foot clear path at utility lines. We also ask that the limitation on
landscaping be imposed only within the ten foot wide easement area. With
respect to landscaping at the right-of-way and adjacent to such easement
areas, we will endeavor to utilize the plant materials as recommended by the
City Forester, Kevin.~ Hallahan, in his memorandum dated February 20, 1986.
..
\.
ITEM 6: With respect to fire flow, the Proponent hereby agrees that no
building will be certified for occupancy without proper fire flow. Since fire
flow is a question of use, the Proponent agrees to work out an appropriate
formula with the building department to establish required fire flow needs for
projects at the time of permitting. Since to the extent feasible, al I public
improvements will be made at the same time, it is felt that the water loops
will be connected prior to occupancy for the vast majority of situations.
ITEM B: Sewage collection and transmission
ITEM 1: Again, this item refers to easements being provided and the
proponent agrees to provide such easements at a width of ten feet with a
building setback requirement of an additional ten feet.
.
,\
..
ITEM Z: Parcels WZ-O through W5-0 will be served by a sewer along the
north side of Northwest 22nd Avenue. Parcels W19-0 and W20-0 respectively
will be served by an extension of the two sewers shown to the north.
ITEM C: Proponent will work with the City as required to insure that
inspection of utility installation can be accomplished in a timely manner.
The funds necessary to accomplish this task will be exalnined and determined at
a lQter date.
Memorandum #3 from Charles C. Frederick, Director of Recreation and Park
Department also dated February 12, 1986.
ITEM 1: Land exchange proposal: The Proponent wishes to keep this matter
separate from discussions concerning the Master Plan layout. The negotiations
are continuing between Mr. Peter Cheney, the City Manager and the Proponent to
work out the details of such a land exchange.
ITEM 2: Median and right-of-way maintenance: The Proponent has determined ~
at this time that the rights-of-way, other than Northwest 22nd Avenue and High
Ridge Road, will be privately held. Since dedication Is not contemplated,
maintenance of those areas will be taken care of by the Developer and the
succeeding Property Owner's Association. Maintenance of Northwest 22nd Avenue
and High Ridge Road rights-of-way is also of concern to the Proponent, and
the Proponent is eager to establish a means whereby they can assume control
and responsibility for such maintenance.
Memorandum from John Wildner, Park Superintendent dated February 12, 1986.
This memorandum provides the backup for cost estimates concerning right-of-way
maintenance. I be 1 I eve a 11 of the quest ions ra i sed there f n have been
addressed in the erevious comentary.
r
,
The next memorandum is from Lieutenant McGarry of the Police Department dated
February 11, 1986.
In order to provide further information to the Police Department in response
to Lieutenant McGarry's questions, a meeting was held with Lieutenant Hammock,
Chief Hillary and other members of the Boynton Beach Police Department and Jim
Zook of Kimley-Horn and I. In that meeting, details of the proposed High
Ridge Road relocation were discussed Peak hour traffic movements were
identified at 1,300 cars per hour. The interchange spacing between the
proposed 1-95 InterChange and High Ridge Road would be in excess of 800 feet,
center to center This distance more than adequately meets the DOT 660 foot
separation criteria The Police Department felt adequately assured that an
acceptable roadway and interchange design could be developed within these
distance perimeters. Final design and pavement layout will be accomplished
during the platting and roadway engineering phases scheduled to fol low
immediately
.
I'
~
With respect to the ability to obtain vacation of the DOT right-of-way for
High Ridge Road, Jim Zook of Kimley-Horn met with Frank Gordon, Design
Engineer of the F~orida Department of Transportation on Thursday afternoon,
Febru~ry 27. During that meeting, Hr. Gordon indicated that DOT would
approach the vacation of High Ridge Road In accordance with their typical
vacation procedure. He indicated that It did not appear as If that portion of
High Ridge Road was a part of the DOT network, and as such, there should not
be any major difficulty in obtaining vacation. He did, however, reserve
final Judgement on the roadway operations and easement vacation until such
time as the roadway design was cOl'f1)lete.
I believe this responds to all areas of concern. If you have any further
questions, please contact me.

(3) Legal Action. In the event any invoice or any portion
thereof remains unpaid for more than sixty (60) days following
the invoice date, the Engineer may initiate legal proceedings to
collect the same. As wi th any legal action brought by ei ther
party, arising under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs, at
all levels To the extent that the Engineer prevails, it may
also recover, all amounts due and payable, including accrued
interest Such expenses shall include, but shall not be limited
to, the cost, determined at the Engineer's normal hourly billing
rates, of the time devoted to such proceeding by its employees.
(4) Ron-Contingency. The Client acknowledges and agrees
that the payment for services rendered and expenses incurred by
the Eng ineer pursuant to this Agreement is not subject to any
contingency unless the same is expressly set forth in this Agree-
ment The provisions of this paragraph are subject to those set
forth in paragraph eighteen (18) below.
(5) Opinions of Cost.
(a) Since the Engineer has no control over the cost
of labor, materials, equipment or services furnished by others,

bidding or market conditions, any and all opinions as to costs
rendered hereunder, including but not limited to opinions as to
the costs of construction and materials, shall be made on the
basis of its experience and qualifications and represent its best
judgment as an experienced and qualified professional engineer,
familiar with the construction industry; but the Engineer cannot
and does not guarantee that proposals, bids or actual costs will
not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared by it. I f at
any time the Client wishes greater assurance as to the amount of
any cost, he shall employ an independent cost estimator to make
such determination. Engineering services required to bring costs
within any limitation established by the Client will be paid for
as additional services hereunder by the Client.
(b) If a limit with respect to construction or other
costs is established by written Agreement between the Client and
the Engineer, the following will apply:
(i) The acceptance by the Client at any time
during the performance of services hereunder of a revised opinion
of probable cost in excess of the then established cost limi t
will constitute a corresponding revision in the previously agreed
cost limit to the extent indicated in such revised opinion.
(ii) Any cost limit so established will include
a contingency of ten percent unless another amount is agreed upon
in writing.
(iii) The Engineer will be permitted to deter-
mine what materials, equipment, component systems and types of
construction are to be included in the drawings and specifica-
tions prepared by it pursuant hereto and to make reasonable
adjustments in the extent of the project to bring it within the

(6) Teraination The obligation to provide further ser-
vices under this Agreement may be terminated by either party upon
seven (7) days' written notice in the event of substantial
failure by the other par ty to per form in accordance wi th the
terms hereof through no fault of the terminating party or in the
event this Agreement is assigned, pursuant to paragraph seventeen
(l7) below. In the event of any termination, the Engineer will
be paid for all services rendered to the date of termination, all
expenses subject to reimbursement hereunder, and other reasonable
expenses incurred by the Engineer as a result of such termina-
tion, such as project closeout and filing expenses, termination
of leased equ ipmen t, prema ture termination of subconsul tan ts or
employees, e tc. In the even t the Eng ineer 's compensa tion under
this Agreement is a fixed fee, upon such termination the amount
payable to the Engineer for services rendered will be determined
using a proportional amount of the total fee based on a ratio of
the amount of the work done, as reasonably determined by the
Engineer, to the total amount of work which was to have been
performed, less prior partial payments, if any, which have been
made.
(7) Reuse of Docuaents. All documents, including but not
limited to drawings and specifications, prepared by the Engineer
pursuant to this Agreement are related exclusively to the ser-
vices described herein. They are not intended or represented to
be suitable for reuse by the Client or others on extensions of
this project or on any other project. Any reuse or assistance to
others for reuse by the Client without written verification or
adaptation by the Engineer to specific purposes intended will be
at the Client's sole risk and without liability or legal exposure
to the Engineer. Any such verification or adaptation will
entitle the Engineer to further compensation at rates to be
agreed upon by the Client and the Engineer. The Client shall
endeavor to prevent unauthor i zed reuse by other par ties for any
project or intent other than the purpose and period of time for
which the documents were prepared.
(8) Liability. The Engineer is protected by Workmen's
Compensation Insurance (and/or employer's liabil i ty insurance),
professional liability insurance, and by public liability insur-
ance for bodily injury and property damage and will furnish cer-
tificates of insurance upon request. The Engineer agrees to hold
the Client harmless from loss, damage, injury or liability
arising directly from the negligent acts or omissions of the
Engineer, its employees, agents, subcontractors and their
employees and agents but only to the extent that the same is
actually covered and paid under the foregoing policies of insur-
- 3 -
ance. If the Client requires increased insurance coverage, the
Engineer will, if specifically directed by the Client, take out
additional insurance, if obtainable, at the Client's expense.
(9) Limitation of Liability. In performing its profes-
sional services hereunder, the Engineer will use that degree of
care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar circumstances,
by reputable members of its profession practicing in the same or
similar locality. No other warranty express or implied, is made
or intended by the Engineer's undertaking herein or its perfor-
mance of services hereunder. It is agreed that, in accordance
with and subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraph
(8), the Client will limit any and all liability, claim for
damages, cost of defense, or expenses to be levied against the
Engineer on account of any and all design defects, errors, omis-
sions, and professional negligence to the amount actually paid in
compensation for, or with respect to, such liability, claim,
cost, or expense under any policy or policies of professional
liability insurance maintained by the Engineer. Further, the
Client agrees to notify any contractor or subcontractor who may
perform work in connection with any design, report or study
prepared by the Engineer of such limi tation for design defects,
errors, omissions, or professional negligence. Under no circum-
stances shall the Engineer be liable for extra costs or other
consequences due to changed cond i tions or for costs related to
the failure of the contractor or materialmen to install work in
accordance with the plans and specifications.
(IO) Bxpenses of Litigation. In the event litigation in
any way related to the services performed hereunder is initiated
between the Client and the Engineer, its contractors, or subcon-
tractors, the prevailing party will be reimbursed for all of its
reasonable attorney fees at all levels and other expenses related
to said litigation to the extent that the final judgment is
favorable. Such expenses shall include, but shall not be limited
to, the cost, determined at the Engineer's normal hourly billing
ra tes, of the time devoted to such li tiga tion by the Eng ineer' s
employees.

COPR JANUARY 1985
INTRODUCTION
This proposal has been prepared at the request of the RITECO Development
Corpora tlOn to determine the feasibility of a new mterchange on 1-95 at NW 22nd
Avenue in Boynton Beach, Florida.
Before a new mterchange can be built on 1-95, the FHWA requires that an
economic analysis be undertaken to determine whether or not the interchange can
be justIfied from the standpoint of cost-effectIveness. In other words, a
determination as to whether the public will receive benefits, over the life of the
project, to offset the costs, must be made A cursory review of environmental,
social and other economic issues surrounding the project must also be made to
determine the overall "environmental attainability" of the project. Analysis of
environmental attamabdity does not pre-empt nor presume any final environmental
determina tlOns. An in-depth environmental analysis will be conducted in the near
future
In this case, it is also appropriate to perform a preliminary analysis of alternatives.
The purpose of this analysis should be to refine and define an interchange concept
and configuratlOn that best represents a solution to the engineering problems. This
exercise should also be utilized to establish the geometric and operational
feasibility of the proposed plans. Since this study precedes the environmental
assessment process, no final decisions or quantified geometric analysis can be
prepared All analyses in this proposal are preliminary and all geometric studIes
will be graphic m na ture
447901/133

OVERVIEW
This proposal is designed to answer a number of key issues that are critical to the
FHWA, FOOT, and the County These include
o Is it cost-effective to construct an interchange on 1-95 providing
direct access to the NW 22nd Avenue?
o On a pre hminary basis, what is the best configuration for such an
interchange?
o Is there a proposed interchange concept that will operate
effectively under forecast peak period traffic conditions? Can it
be constructed under heavy 1-95 traffic conditions.
o Is there an interchange configuratiOn that is geometrically
feasible and acceptable from the standpoint of Federal-Aid
Intersta te design standards.
o Will connecting facilities be able to adequately feed and discharge
projected mterchange volumes?
o Is there a feasible interchange concept that is environmentally
attainable?
o Will the project's impacts on the local economy, neighborhoods,
and social fabric Jeopardize the feaSibility of the project?
o Is the proposed project consistent with other local plans, programs
and priorities?
o Does the project have local support and has 1t been coordinated,
on a preliminary basis, with key officials that might have an
interest in it?
ThiS proposal identifies the methodologies and framework for attacking and
resolving these issues. It provides for the publication of the appropriate
documenta tiOn to secure appropriate and necessary approvals of the FHW A, FDOT
and local government.

TECHNICAL APPROACH
The following pages contain a task-by-task description of the important elements
essential to the success of the mterchange justiflCa t10n project. This technical
approach contains sufficient technical analysis effort to secure the necessary
economic justification approvals required This approach simultaneously suggests
sufficient analysis to assure that a workable mterchange configuration can be
developed, withm reasonable and tolerable social/economic/environmental
constraints.
The tasks in this approach have been organized into nine (9) major categories or
"Task Groups," as follows:
o Task Group 1 - Transportation Systems Analysis
o Task Group 2 - Traffic Engineering Analysis
o Task Group 3 - Engineering Analysis
o Task Group 4 - Preliminary SOCIal, Economic and Environmental Studies
o Task Group 5 - Rela t10nships to Other Plans and Programs
o Task Group 6 - Economic Analysis
o Task Group 7 - Alternatives Analysis
o Task Group & - Meetings and Conferences
o Task Group 9 - Documentation
Each of these Task Groups is described in greater detail in the pages that follow
447901/133
-3-
TASK GROUP I
TRANSPORT A nON SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
This task will involve the overall collection and verification of the transporta tion
systems data required for an interchange justification report. The purpose of this
effort is to collect and organize all of the relevant and necessary data that will be
used in subsequent tasks.
TASK 1.1 - COLLECT AND ANALYZE DATA
ThiS task IS organIzed mto seven (7) subtasks as follows
Subtask 1.1.1 - Obtain existing network
EXIsting and available urban area transportatIOn da ta relative to the eXIsting
transportation networks will be collected, evaluated and verified for
reasonableness.
Subtask 1.1.2 - Obtain forecast network(s)
Available urban area transportation data for the future transportation system
in the project area will be collected, classified and organized.
Subtask 1.1.3 - Acquire trip tables
Available trip making characteristics of the urban area will be collected for
both eXIsting and forecast conditIOns.
Subtask 1.1.4 - Inventory number of lanes/capacity characteristics
The accuracy of the data in the urban area transportation study statistics Will
be field-verified.
447901/133
-4-
Subtask 1.1.5 - Collect soci~conomic data and travel models
The socio-economic forecasts and trip generation models will be acquIred and
revIewed.
Subtask 1.1.6 - Inventory current land-use/development plans/proposals
Current land-use plans and major development proposals will be inventoried
to upda te the trip-makmg models, as needed.
Subtask 1.1.7 - Summarize Data
All precedmg da ta will be summarized into usable formats.
TASK 1.2 - DEVELOP BASE MICRONETWORKS
This task will involve the identification of the portion of the existing and future
roadway systems that will be relevant to the analysis. It will also involve the
preparation of microscale graphics, network formatting and coding for subsequent
computer analysis.
Subtask 1.2.1 - Base Micronetworks
Detailed micronetworks for both existing and future conditions will be
identified, mapped and coded for subsequent computer analysis. One-way
coding of the interchange system will be undertaken to insure the adequacy
and level of detail necessary to perform weaving analyses, and movement-by-
movement capacity analysis.
This coding activity will include the pre para tion, compilation and recording
of capacity characterIstics, operating speeds, link length, number of lanes,
turn prohibitions, and similar operating data, for each link and node in each
of the micronetworks.
One network will be coded with no interchange to serve as the base case for
comparison purposes.
4479.01/133
-5-
Subtask 1.2.2 - Check and Verify Base Micronetworks
Both the future and forecasts micronetworks will be checked for mapping and
coding errors prior to computer analysis. This double check will minimize
expensive computer time spent finding and debugging network coding errors
at a later time
TASK 1.3 - DEVELOP MICRO-TRIP TABLE FOR STUDY AREA
This task will involve the acquisitiOn of base year and horizon year trip tables and
socio-economic data These trip tables will be modified into the desired format.
Zones external to the study area will be compressed into "macro-zones" since they
are not relevant to the micro-analysis. At the same time traffic zones in the study
area will be subdivided, as appropria te, to insure an adequate level of detail for the
micronetwork analyses.
This task Will also involve the redistribution of trips within the new zonal
framework for the eXisting and forecasts trip tables. Trip generatiOn rates for
high-growth zones Will also be checked and adjusted, if needed. The analysis area
will extend to include, approximately, all facilities within a five-mile radius of the
proJect.
Subtask 1.3.1 - Collect and Review Data
Existing and available trip tables for existing and forecast conditions w1l1 be
collected In addition, SOCiO-econormc data, .anQ trip productions and
attractions will be analyzed to determine their reasonableness in view of
current land use developments and development proposals in the study area
Meetmgs with local planning offiCials will be arranged to collect and review
recent development proposals, and modifications to land use plans.
Comprehensive plans and other relevant data WIll also be collected and
discussed with local officials.
4479 0 1 / 133 -6-
J
Subtask 1.3.2 - Modify Trip Tables
Trip generation rates will be modified as needed and the trip table modified
accordmgly Growth factors will be applied to update the forecast trip table
to the desired horizon year (2010)
TASK 1.4 - TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT
After all trip tables have been prepared, and transit/carpool splits established,
auto, transit and carpool trips will be assigned to the micronetwork for existing and
planning horizon years.
Subtask 1.5.1 - Load Auto Trips
Auto tripS WIll be loaded to the rmcronetwork using automated traff1c
assignment models
Subtask 1.5.2 - Load Carpool and Transit Trips
Transit and carpool vehicular tnps will also be loaded to the network.
TASK 1.5 - SUMMARIZE TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT DATA
Traffic assignment statistics will be summarized in tabular form suitable for
incorpora tion into the final report. These statistics will also become the primary
source of road user data for input into the road user benefit analysis. These
statistics WIll mclude vehicle mIles of travel (VMT), vehicle hours of travel (VHT)
and person-hours of travel (PHT)
TASK 1.6 - SUMMARY MEMO
A summary memorandum covenng all of the informatIOn generated withm this
Task Group wIll be prepared.
447901/133
-7-
TASK GROUP 2
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
The traffic engineering task group is designed to assure the operational integrity
and feasibil1ty of the plans under study Results of this effort Will also play an
important role in the project's final justification by pinpointing the operational
bene fits of the proJect.
TASK 2.1 - UPDATE TRAFFIC DATA
Existing and available traffic counts in the area will be updated and supplemented
with new available data generated since earlier studies. Where necessary, and
where needed traffic count information is absent, addItional traffic counts will be
taken, as required.
TASK 2.2 - DEVELOP MICRO-ASSIGNMENT OF PEAK HOURLY VOLUMES
The results of the preceding analysis will be assigned and displayed in a graphic
single-line format to Illustrate the critical peak volume loadll1gs for individual
dIrectIOnal links in the various interchange configurations. The directional peak
hour exhIbIting the hIghest volume will be displayed on each link.
TASK 2.3 - ANALYZE CAPACITY OF INTERCHANGE CONCEPTS
Once the controlling peak hour volumes are graphically displayed on each of the
interchange configurations under study, an m-depth analysis of the capacity of
each configuration can be undertaken The purpose of this analysIs is
twofold first, it is to determll1e those components of each mterchange
4479 01/133
-8-
configuration that may be deficient from a capacity and level-of-serviCe (LOS)
standpomt, second, it is to identify those remedies that can be implemented to
reduce or eliminate the capacity problems so identified.
Subtask 2.3.1 - Preliminary Screening
To undertake this analysis effort, it is Important to discard unneeded
analyses. For example, certain sections and components of the various
mterchange concepts will be obviously sufficient from a capacity analysis
viewpoint. These sections will not be subjected for unneeded in-depth
quantita tive analysis.
Subtask 2.3.2 - Execute Capacity Studies
Capacity studies will be conducted for the following types of freeway
segments
o Basic freeway mainline segments
o Basic freeway ramp segments
o Isolated on-ramp
o Isola ted off-ramp
In additiOn to the studies listed above, critical lane analyses for critical
signalized intersections will also be performed These will include the
follow mg
I 1-95 Ramps and Hypoluxo Road
2 1-95 Ramps and Boynton Beach Boulevard
3 1-95 Ramps and l'l W 22nd Avenue (Proposed)
4 Congress Avenue and Hypoluxo Road
5 Congress Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard
6 Congress Avenue and N W 22nd Avenue
7 Congress Avenue and Major Access IntersectiOns
to Boynton Beach Park of Commerce
8 Seacrest Boulevard and N W 22nd Avenue
Subtask 2.3.3 - Determine Levels of Service
Based upon the preceding effort expended in Subtask 2.3 2, the level-
of-service of each roadway segment and intersection will be classified in
accordance with its corresponding level-of-service, using the following
ca tegories:
o
o
o
Level of Service "C" or better
Level of SerVice "0"
Level of Service "E", or worse
447901/133
-9-
Subtask 2.3.4 - Plot and Display Level of Service Results
Based upon the results of Subtask 2 3 3, these results will be graphically
displayed on single-line representations of the interchange configura tlOns.
TASK 2.4 - ANALYZE CAPACITY OF SURROUNDING FACILITIES
TO FEED AND DISCHARGE INTERCHANGE VOLUMES
In recent years, the FHW A, and the traffic engineering community, in general,
have become acutely concerned with upstream/downstream capacity problems. In
many cases in the past, massive investments have been made into major freeway or
highway expansion projects, only to find that these improvements were
underutilized, due to the inability of connecting facilities to feed and discharge the
volumes associated with the improvement.
Subtask 2.4.1 - Upstream/Downstream Capacity Studies
To avoid this problem, It is important to analyze the capacity of the facilities
connected to the planned improvement. This analysis will involve a study
area bounded by Hypoluxo Road on the north, Boynton Beach Boulevard on
the south, Congress Avenue on the West, and Seacrest Boulevard on the east.
In thIS case, the capaCity of several connecting facilities wIll be analyzed
against the capacity of the proposed interchange
o 1-95 - and connec~ing faCilIties, south of the proposed interchange
o 1-95 - and connecting facil1ties, north of the proposed interchange
o NW 22nd Avenue, east and west of the proposed interchange
These will include the following intersectlOns:
I 1-95 Ramps and Hypoluxo Road
2 1-95 Ramps and Boynton Beach Boulevard
3 1-95 Ramps and N W 22nd Avenue (Proposed)
4 Congress Avenue and Hypoluxo Road
5 Congress Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard
6 Congress Avenue and N W 22nd Avenue
7 Congress Avenue and Major Access IntersectlOns

TASK GROUP 3
ENGINEERING ANAL YSIS
This task is essential to the development of a reasonable and practical concept that
will be subjected to the various analyses. The concepts must be workable,
geometrically, and the purpose of this analysis is to assure that this is the case. To
accomplish this, "desirable" federal-aid interstate design criteria should be
followed to the maximum extent feasible. If these criteria cannot be met, strong
reasons for nonconformity must be clearly established. In this case, detailed
typical section studies are required in the vicinity of potential right-of-way
problems in order to understand the order-of-magnitude of the project's impacts.
Likewise, bridge span arrangement studies must be undertaken to grasp the
technical feasibility of several concepts, and to get a handle on costs. This task
group w1l1 also include the important task of cost estimatmg which is essential to
the process of securmg federal justification.
TASK 3 1 - GEOMETRIC FEASIBILITY ANAL YSIS
A number of geometric tests must be performed to assure that the concepts under
consideration are geometrically feasible
TASK 3~2 - ADJUST GEOMETRIC PLANS
Based upon the analysis completed in Task 3 1, the alternative concepts will be
modified and re-drafted to better accommodate desirable design criteria. These
adjustments may include longer weaving areas, improved gore arrangements,
improved span arrangements, enhanced geometric conditions, and improved
merging conditions. A recommended plan (to scale) will be produced.

TASK 6.2 - EXECUTE BENEFIT - COST ANALYSIS
A comprehensive benefit cost analysis wIll be executed in accordance wIth
AASHTO guidelines. It is anticipated that this analysIs w1l1 be executed using a
computer program available from the DOT that is based upon AASHTO procedures
and that has the approval of the FDOT and FHWA
The purpose of this task is to determine the relative economic merit of the project,
as a whole This analysis will also produce some preliminary comparisons among
the alternatIves subjected to the analysis.
The proposed procedure will be a present worth analysIs. The current value of the
user benefIt stream will be computed and divided by the present worth of the
capital and operating/maintenance costs of the proposed Improvement packages.
The user benefit stream will be computed by subtracting the user costs of the
proposed improvements, from the "do-nothmg" alternative, over a twenty year
planning period If the net present value (NPV) resulting from this computation is
greater than zero, then the project is justified.
