Robinson <br /> Varca Ventures,Inc. aka Wildcat Mining Corp. <br /> 3926 N. State Hwy 67 <br /> Sedalia, CO 80135 <br /> Dear Mr.Robinson, <br /> Please accept this as our proposal and scope of work for your May Day Idaho Mine Traffic Study. Our cost estimate <br /> includes the following scope of work: <br /> I)Data Collection: <br /> a) Vehicle Characteristics-Using May Day Mine's anticipated vehicle traffic,assign FHWA(Federal Highway <br /> Administration)Vehicle Types. <br /> b) Using FHWA Vehicle Types-Generate Trip Generation expected for the site. <br /> c) Standards Research—Relate Trip Generation numbers to Industry Standards for inclusion in the Traffic Study <br /> report. <br /> d)Road Inventories-Measure existing road characteristics,widths, surfacing,road conditions,etc.for access route to <br /> the site. <br /> e) Existing and Future Background Volumes-Field measurements of traffic volumes at the intersection of County <br /> Road 124 and US Highway 160,using pneumatic traffic counting devices.Field measurements of traffic volumes at <br /> the point where County Road 124 enters the US Forest,using pneumatic traffic counting devices. <br /> f)Directional Distribution-as part of field measurements,traffic directional trends will be assessed. <br /> II)Traffic Analysis: <br /> a)Passenger Car Equivalents-Using data collected from Item I,compute Passenger Car Equivalents for the site trip <br /> generation.(Passenger Car Equivalents are the standard measure for trip volumes). <br /> b)Before and After 18K Equivalent Single Axle Loading(ESALS)-EASLS are the standard measure of the physical <br /> impact traffic has on the highway. <br /> c) Traffic Operational Analysis-Field measures of traffic turning behaviors and establishment of peak traffic <br /> volumes am,pm, and mid-day. <br /> d)Traffic Safety Analysis-Assessment of field measurements as they relate to the safety of the intersection. <br /> Conflicting turning movements observed,etc. <br /> e)Compliance to County Standards-Comparing field info with County design standards. <br />
