Complete a system planning study to examine future transportation needs along three miles of the F. E. Everett Turnpike (I-293) in Manchester from the overpass of Bridge Street north of Exit 5 (Granite Street) through Exit 6 (Goffstown Road) to north of Exit 7 (NH Rte 3A). The purpose of the project (Part A) is to perform a planning level study for the ramifications of potential, broad, transportation-system changes and other factors that may influence the traffic needs in this specific area, evaluate the environmental resources and impacts at a macro level, and establish a range of reasonable alternatives for STIP programming purposes and for further development of preliminary engineering plans and formal environmental documentation. The corridor analysis shall evaluated the relocation of Exit 7 to the north of the Manchester Community College with construction of a connector providing access to NH Rte 3A and Hackett Hill Road. The planning and design process would require: 1) a community-based planning process to assess the community’s long-term transportation needs and vision; 2) context sensitive design of improvements to the corridor including innovative treatments; 3) an inventory and summary of environmental resources and impacts; 4) corridor-level traffic modeling and analysis, and, 5) preliminary corridor-level design of the reasonable alternatives to improve safety and capacity within the Turnpike facility. Traffic analysis, using outputs from regional traffic model, and evaluation of environmental resources and impacts at a macro level will be required as part of this planning-level study. The project will require a comprehensive public-participation process with regional and municipal coordination. This work will require Professional Engineer licensure in the State of New Hampshire. This project also requires Part B (Preliminary Design) and Part C (Final Design) services. The Department reserves the right to either negotiate a scope and fee for Part B and Part C or terminate the contract.
