The project will be let through the INDOT LPA process in <br />accordance with HSIP funding requirements. <br />LPA staff will be responsible for seeking changes to ordinances, if required. The LPA will be <br />responsible for programming flashing time once the assemblies are installed. <br />Scope of Services — School Flashers Design <br />Determine the appropriate use of flashing beacons <br />1.

In conjunction with the LPA, determine which of the schools and which <br />frontages should have a school zone speed reduction with flashing beacons <br />installed. <br />Gather existing data <br />1. Obtain GIS layers, as available, to assist in generating base maps for the <br />design plans. <br />2. Use online mapping tools supplemented with on -site field checks to <br />determine the approximate locations of existing school zone signage. <br />Prepare plan sheets <br />Create base maps for each school area using GIS mapping. <br />Plot the approximate locations of existing school zone signage (not to scale). <br />19 <br />
