-7620-19050000CASE STUDYEffective Spending on Counting Services Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe CountyThe IssueTraffic data collection needs can quickly outstrip the available staff or resources to complete the work in a timely and efficient manner.The Client Washoe County, which includes the cities of Reno and Sparks, is the second-largest county in Nevada with 421,407 people and growing. Over the last few years, this area has increased in population, employment, and tourism. The new developments and roads have caused travel pattern shifts and congestion in unexpected corridors. The County Engineer established a goal of capturing sufficient data to:Define baseline volumes and congestion, including holiday-related retail activityValidate any changes made, such as optimizing signal timingUnderstand when a threshold is met, indicating the need for a larger projectTo reach their goal, traffic data collection is necessary over multiple intersections across the two main cities, over several general time periods throughout the year, and during multiple holidays. Without the proper staff to complete the data needs, The RTC of Washoe County issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide data collection services. Due to the large needs of the project, the structure of the RFP focused on the unit cost of each count. With a limited budget, the hope was to maximize the number of counts completed within the budget available.The Spack SolutionSpack Solutions proposed and won this contract by presenting our unique solution to meet the RTC of Washoe County’s needs fully:In-House, specialized counting tools We can safely install a camera and start collecting data at a location in minutes.Virtually unlimited supply of equipment We deploy with as much gear as necessary to complete the project as efficiently as possible.Highly trained techniciansOur employees are trained to complete up to 50 camera set-ups in a single day.RedundancyWhen we have only one opportunity to collect the data, like on holidays, we use multiple cameras to ensure operations are captured.We maximized the number of intersection counts completed using this streamlined counting process. The RTC of Washoe County quickly realized they could complete more data collection than originally expected and quadrupled the scope with their planned budget. What was originally expected to be a years-long, slow grind toward getting some usable data, turned into a sprint so they could have the data they needed within a few months. Through the implementation of our protocols and processes, we collected 100% of the data for the requested sites within the requested timeline.The ResultWe completed 115 video counts in six weeks for the RTC of Washoe County, covering Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. This work perfectly matched their ideal outcome of capturing data for multiple intersections in a short period of time as well as for specific heavy retail-activity holidays. Our team will be completing two more rounds of counts in 2020 under similar guidelines. The RTC of Washoe County will be well equipped to handle the continued growth of their county every step of the way.27432002171700“based on the data … we can figure out specific time of day plans on the weekends or do we need like extra time of day plans”Andrew Jayankura, Project Manager00“based on the data … we can figure out specific time of day plans on the weekends or do we need like extra time of day plans”Andrew Jayankura, Project ManagerDo you have significant traffic data needs without the staff to get it done?Set-up an Online Meeting to Start Collaboratingleft814208Spack Solutions provides technologies and guidance for government staff and their contractors to help them tame congestion and eliminate traffic fatalities.
