Common use of Traffic Noise Studies Clause in Contracts

Traffic Noise Studies. The Engineer shall: a. Perform a traffic noise analysis in accordance with the current version of the State’s (FHWA approved) “Guidelines for Analysis and Abatement of Roadway Traffic Noise.” Noise analyses shall be performed for all alternatives. b. The State will provide a copy of the current version of the guidelines. Upon request, the State shall provide the Engineer’s Technical Expert with existing and predicted (future) traffic data and, when available, aerial photography. c. By project location site visit, identify adjacent, land use development and photo document representative receivers that might be impacted by highway traffic noise and may benefit from feasible and reasonable noise abatement. d. Determine existing and predicted noise levels for representative receivers, as follows: 1) For transportation activities on new location, take field measurements of existing noise levels. Field measurements shall be accomplished with sound meters that meet or exceed American National Standards Institute (ANSI) S1.4-1983, Type 2. 2) For transportation activities not on new location, perform computer modeling of existing noise levels and predicted (future) noise levels. 3) Computer modeling shall be accomplished with the latest FHWA approved Traffic Noise Model (TNM) software program which must be purchased at the Technical Expert’s expense from the software distributor. e. Identify impacted receivers in accordance with the absolute and relative impact criteria. f. Consider and evaluate all required noise abatement measures for impacted receivers in accordance with the feasible and reasonable criteria. g. Propose noise abatement measures that are both feasible and reasonable. h. Determine predicted (future) noise impact contours for transportation activities where there is adjacent undeveloped property where residential or commercial development is likely to occur in the near future.
