Project Overview
Design and construct a new four lane, divided highway on US 12

WSDOT desires a four-lane, divided facility with reduced conflict points
The current road has many slow-moving vehicles and conflict points, resulting in often-hazardous conditions

Goals
3.3.3 Goal 1 – Safety: Reduce crash frequency and severity
WSDOT desires a Proposal that, at a minimum, provides the following design elements that enhance safety along the corridor by reducing crash frequency and severity:
• Minimizes usage of barrier to maximize obstruction-free Design Clear Zones• Provides traversable slopes and adequate recovery zones• Minimizes or mitigates obstructions/fixed features within clear zones• Maximizes shoulder widths, lateral clearances, and turning roadway widths
Submit: Provide a detailed commitment and description of how and where design elements will be provided to enhance corridor safety by reducing crash frequency and severity. Include plan sheets, location descriptions, and typical sections that demonstrate these design elements.
3.3.3.1 Evaluation CriteriaOf the $6,000,000 of technical credits available for Goal 1, as shown in Table 3.3.8, $2,000,000 will be scored quantitatively and $4,000,000 will be scored adjectively as described below:
Up to $2 Million calculated
Up to $4 Million adjectival
Goal 1 – Calculated Evaluation Example:Commitment of the following obstruction-free Design Clear Zones included in the proposed design in excess of Technical Requirements baseline requirement.30,000 feet EB outside shoulders x $15,000/1,000 feet increments = $450,00025,000 feet WB outside shoulders x $15,000/1,000 feet increments = $375,00030,000 feet EB median x $15,000/1,000 feet increments = $450,00030,000 feet WB median x $15,000/1,000 feet increments = $450,000
Earned Calculated Technical Credits: $1,725,000

3.3.3 Goal 1 – Safety: Reduce crash frequency and severity (continued)
Adjectival Evaluation Criteria:A Proposal that adequately provides each of the minimum design element requirements discussed in Section 3.3.3 will receive a maximal rating in the Very Good range. To get full value, commitments need to be clearly articulated in the Proposal. An approach may receive a higher rating when the Proposal exceeds the applicable design element requirements or provides additional design elements that improve corridor safety. Specific commitments made to achieve this Project Goal will be considered Betterments.

Goals
3.3.4 Goal 2 – Safety: Accommodates the safe merging and diverging of slower vehicles
WSDOT desires a Proposal that, at a minimum, provides the following design elements that enhance safety along the corridor by optimizing the design for a rural context:• Safely accommodates the merging and diverging of slower vehiclesSubmit: Provide a detailed commitment and description of how and where the Proposal provides the above intersection improvements. Include plan sheets and typical sections that demonstrate these elements.
3.3.4.1 Evaluation Criteria
Of the $3,000,000 of technical credits available for Goal 2, as shown in Table 3.3.8, all $3,000,000 will be scored quantitatively.
ALL $3 Million calculated
Goal 2 – Calculated Evaluation Example:Qualifying proposal commitments that include acceleration and deceleration lanes at the following specified locations will be awarded Technical Credits at the following rate. Technical Credits will not be awarded for partially meeting these criteria:
• $1,000,000 for providing both acceleration and deceleration lanes at Touchet North Road intersection for both EB and WB directions of travel of US 12.
• $1,000,000 for providing both acceleration and deceleration lanes provided at Woodward Canyon Road intersection for both EB and WB directions of travel of US 12.
• $1,000,000 for providing both acceleration and deceleration lanes provided at Lower Dry Creek Road intersection for both EB and WB directions of travel of US 12.
