A. INTRODUCTION
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is seeking to develop its pipeline of road
transport projects nationwide for implementation and/or possible external financial assistance in
their implementation. As part of the initial stage in the project development cycle, feasibility
studies assessing the technical, economic, environmental, and social impacts of the project are
required.
The proposed conduct of data gathering, preliminary surveys and investigations, and economic
evaluation for the feasibility study of this project is envisaged to be undertaken by a local
consultant to be outsourced by the DPWH Regional Office III, with the assistance of the Project
Preparation Division - Planning Service (PPD, PS), DPWH – Central Office. The output of the
consulting service shall be the conduct of Feasibility Study for the following proposed projects:
Bacolor-Porac Access Road is part of a priority road project of the Pampanga Megalopolis
Development Plan (PMPD) namely the SCTEX-Porac Quarry Road which would mainly cater the
trucks coming to/from Porac, Pampanga. The proposed Fly-over along Friendship Highway
intends to increase the road capacity of the road in preparation for the development of the New
Clark City.
The EPZA Bypass Bridge was proposed to provide access to vehicles, especially to trucks, coming
from the Freeport Area of Bataan to Roman Expressway, Mariveles, Bataan as the existing route
is located on a mountainous terrain with sharp curves making the travel of heavy vehicles
hazardous. The Bagac-Mariveles Access Road on the other hand plans to promote a better track
for large vehicles such as industrial trailers and trucks without the need to passing through the
residential areas of Mariveles and of the Freeport Area of Bataan.

The rest of the proposals are located in Bulacan and they aim to address the growing traffic in
the province mainly by decongesting their primary roads namely the Manila North Road (MNR)
and Daang Maharlika. The San Ildefonso-San Miguel-San Rafael Bypasses are a series of
alternate routes extending from Plaridel Bypass. These bypasses along with San Jose Del Monte
Bypass road intend to divert vehicles from Daang Maharlika. Pandi Bypass on the other hand, is
a parallel road to MNR and NLEX which would offer faster travel from Pandi to/from its
neighboring municipalities.
B. OBJECTIVES
The Consultants shall prepare a suitable optimal program of investments for the project, which
would be consistent with the Government’s development plans. The Consultants shall also
identify the complementary investments needed to ensure the success of the road investments.
By the end of the consulting period, the Consultants is expected to produce a comprehensive F/S
based on updated information with a definite implementation plan of the recommended scheme
based on the alternatives/ configurations considered, among others, including the preliminary
engineering concept/ design and economic evaluation. Specifically, it aims to achieve the
following undertakings:
1. Produce an in-depth socio-economic profile of the study area, integrating among others
the data population growth, spatial distribution, land use patterns and urban structures,
and economic activities;
2. Determine the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) in major and adjoining road sections
relevant to the project influence area, and assess the existing and future conditions of
the relevant road network based on capacity and safety measurements such as Level of
Service and other network performance parameters or factors;
3. Establish trip patterns based on zones and/ or existing and future land use in the study
area and identify volume distribution in major and adjoining road sections during peak
and non-peak hours;
4. Establish Traffic Growth Rates (TGR) based on ecological factors such as population
distribution, average income per family and product consumption per capita;
5. Determine the soil profile at the project site as basis for the design;
6. Identify possible geological and geotechnical hazards and recommend structural and
non-structural measures to reduce the effects of these hazards;
7. Come up with the best alignment with its corresponding conceptual/structural/ geometric
design and other improvements considering the existing profile of the area;
8. Determine the possible significant impacts of the project to the environment and provide
appropriate mitigating measures to address these impacts;
9. Identify the potential project affected persons/ families with the estimated cost for right-
of-way acquisition and proposed timetable;
10. Estimate the quantities and cost of each component of the project;

Annex 2: Traffic Survey Methodologies
1. OBJECTIVES
1.1) Necessary traffic data acquisition for traffic impact study at intersections
2. OUTLINE OF WORKS
The following four (4) types of survey will be carried out by the Consultant in accordance with
the methodology set forth by the Project Preparation Division (PPD), Planning Service which
will be commissioned purposely for this study.
1) Traffic Condition Survey
• Intersection Traffic Flow Counts
• Intersection Queuing Length Survey
• Traffic Speed Survey
• Traffic Signal and Signal Phasing Observation (including manual traffic control)
a) At the intersection locations shown in Annex 1, for a period of 16 hours from 6:00
AM to 10:00 PM for two consecutive days excluding Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
b) Vehicles crossing the survey points will be counted according to mode classification
and direction.
c) Traffic volume shall be counted and aggregated for each 15-minute period.
d) Mode classifications will be; pedestrian including bicycle, motorcycle, tricycle,
passenger car including taxi, passenger jeepney, goods utilities including pick-up
and vans, medium bus (less than 50 passengers) and large bus (50 passengers or
more), small truck (2 axles), large truck (3 axles or more) and semi-trailer trucks
(see Attached sample format of Intersection Traffic Count Survey Sheet).
e) Some intersections are large and complicated with many legs. So traffic survey
shall be designed carefully to get accurate traffic data to/from the intersections.
a) At major roads corridors during the following time periods: AM Peak, Inter-Peak
and PM Peak, for two days excluding Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
b) Travel time shall be surveyed by floating car method for each route and in both
directions. A minimum of two runs in each direction shall be conducted.
Measurement shall be carried out on board passenger car (test vehicle) and public
utility vehicles at each time period.
a) At the intersection locations shown in Annex 1, during the following time periods:
AM Peak, Inter-Peak and PM Peak, for two days excluding Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
Page 6 of 20
b) The purpose of a pedestrian count is to determine the volume of pedestrian
crossing the approaches of the intersection since pedestrian affects the vehicular
traffic flow in the intersection and the demand of the pedestrian traffic would
require amount of green time for the pedestrians to cross the approach of the
intersection safely.
a) At the intersection locations shown in Annex 1, during the following time periods:
AM Peak, Inter-Peak and PM Peak, for two days excluding Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
b) The surveyor shall determine type of traffic signal (fixed or automatic). The
existing traffic signal operation shall be observed during the three (3) time periods
noting the green, red and amber time as well as the cycle time allocation for each
phase the intersection.
4. SURVEY RESULTS
a) Coding: The data collected in the surveys will be coded after the field survey in
accordance with the method shown in the survey manual.
b) Data: The survey results will be input to computers using Microsoft Excel
customized for each survey data. However, the final data will be input to traffic
modelling software.
Results of the surveys will be summarized briefly using figures and tables and the details will be
compiled in a report.
Traffic surveys shall be conducted following procedures enumerated below. The specific location
of the different survey stations, are presented in Annex 1 to 3.
Page 7 of 20
Manual Count (MC) Surveys
a) Coding: The data collected in the surveys will be summarized and coded after the
field survey in accordance with the standard method to be provided by the PPD.
b) Data: The survey results will be inputted to computers using Excel Spreadsheet
application.
