SCOPE OF SERVICES
Introduction
The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive multi-modal or intermodal transportation
plan that meets future transportation needs for Beaufort County and its urban areas. This study is
intended to serve as a guide for the design and implementation of future transportation needs.
Beaufort County has recently received several grants to assist them in funding a feasibility study of the
Daufuskie Island Ferry System. Currently Beaufort County has made arrangements with two ferry
companies to provide access to ferry transportation on a space available bases for Daufuskie Island
landowners, residents, and their guest. The two ferry companies are J&W Corporation and Daufuskie
Island Ferry Company operating from Broad Creek Marina ( 18 Simmons Road, Hilton Head Island) to
and from Freeport Marina (Daufuskie Island) and Salty Fare Marina (Squire Pope Road, Hilton Head
Island) to and from Melrose Marina (Daufuskie Island), respectively. Beaufort County officials have
expressed a need to expand this ferry system to include a new marina located on Pinckney Island.
This additional ferry system would be an intermodal passenger transportation system involving
Palmetto Breeze, the Lowcountry Regional Transportation Authority (LRTA). This mode split opportunity
will mobilize a previously static workforce, as well as expand and enhance tourism. The major goal of
this type of intermodal passenger transport is to reduce dependence on the automobile as the
primary mode of transportation, specifically on US 278 and increase the use of public transportation.
Extending the current ferry and bus system to include Pinckney Island could prove advantageous to
Beaufort County while also increasing trip frequency on both transit modes. In order to make this
expansion a reality, a study should evaluate all possible transportation services and to facilitate their
use. Given the current population growth in Beaufort County and its failing road systems, intermodal
transportation options could increase efficiency while spurring economic growth. This type of
transportation system woul d offer users diverse options that are effectively integrated, in order to
provide a high degree of accessibility, especially for residents who commute.
Task 1 - Initial Data Collection
Task 2 - Market Analysis
Task 3- Economic Analysis
Task 4- Financial Feasibility
Task 5- Environmental Impact Study
Task 6 - Final Report
Task 1 - Initial Data Collection
The CONSULTANT will collect and review all documents and databases involved in the study. We will
analyze the existing conditions of the current ferry system to determine areas of potential growth. We
will then forecast future population and employment growth, and identify major growth corridors and
potential needs. The CONSULTANT will then develop a draft purpose and needs assessment. We will
then identify current and projected future transportation problems and needs, as well as various
Pinckney Island Intermodal Transportation System Feasibility Study
Page
5
projects and strategies to address those needs. Traffic data collection will be done to analyze areas
of congestion at peak hours of transportation and areas where it can be eliminated. This will identify
areas where a ferry system in conjunction with other transportation systems could decrease the traffic
volume.
The CONSULTANT will then monitor existing conditions by collecting current traffic data
including, but not limited to, peak hour traffic volumes, average daily traffic (ADT). and vehicle
classifications in key areas where a ferry terminal could be constructed.
Next, the CONSULTANT will forecast future transportation growth based on p rojected popula tion and
employment growth, and identify major growth corridors. Computer based traffic models w ill be
developed for both existing and future conditions to identify areas of severe congestion and where
they can be mitigated. Based on the model results, the CONSULTANT will evaluation and prioritize
potential improvement strategies. The CONSULTANT will then develop a draft purpose and needs
assessment for expanding the current ferry system.
In conjunction with the draft purpose and needs assessment. long-range plans and short-range
programs identifying specific projects and strategies can then be developed.
This strategy will
highlight key areas for terminals and routes for increased ferry service. Once a strategy has been
selected, an environmental screening will be done to determine if any environmental assessments will
be required.
Any required road construction such as frontage roads to future terminals will be
identified at this time. Preliminary survey work will be conducted on Pinckney Island to evaluate
median closures, frontage road location, and clearance heights in regards to the US 278 bridge to
Hilton Head Island. A transportation engineer will analyze all data collected to determine if the road
is feasible.
Stakeholder meetings will be conducted at the end of this phase to a llow the public to comment on
the study's recommendation.
Task 2- Market Analysis
The CONSULTANT will inspect the surrounding community, identify existing conditions and determine
primary areas of focus based on drive times, patterns of travel, local businesses, natural or
psychological barriers, and other market influences. Demographic and lifestyle data will be
researched in the area to include five year population projections. This will identify potential docking
locations and termini. A written summary of the market analysis will be provided at the completion of
this task to Beaufort County, which will include the following:
•
Market area data collection (demographic data, community data)
•
5 year population projections.
•
Patterns of travel (drive times I ferry times)
•
Market influence
•
Revenue generation
•
Tourism
•
Weather influence
•
Identify potential users I estimate number of customers

Recommend strategic direction for development
Task 3 - Economic Analysis
The CONSULTANT will take all information gathered and come up with a conceptual plan for the
project. This plan will outline both visually and on paper if the proposed project is economically
feasible . The ferry service plan will be outlined during the economic analysis. This will include an
estimated cost for construction, start up inventory and operating capital. We will then consult with
Beaufort County for possible alternatives or changes to the outlined plan if needed or continue with
the current established conceptual plan. This plan will include the following:
•
Potential routes
•
Evaluation of alternative routes
•
Transportation demand potential
•
Terminal accessibility
•
Summary and conclusions
Task 4- Financial Feasibility
Based upon the market analysis, project concept plan and cost estimate, pricing recommendations
and future projections a financial report will be prepared detailing probable revenue, expenses,
profits, and cash flow. These projections will be run based on the estimated project cost. Multi-modal
or intermodal transportation planning is complicated because modes differ in various ways, including
their availability, speed, density, cost, limitations, and most appropriate uses. They are not equal
substitutes in that each is only appropriate for specific users and uses.
lntermodal transportation
planning requires tools for evaluating the quality of each mode, such as Level-of-Service standards
which can be used to indicate problems and ways to improve each mode. A financial p lan for
implementing the proposed strategies will be conducted to evaluate the cost-benefit of the projects
feasibility.
The financial feasibility plan will outline the following:
•
Three-Five year operational plan
•
Detail probable revenue I expenses
•
Potential investors
Task 5 - Environmental Impact Study
The Consultant will review GIS and other available electronic data to determine if any existing
environmental features are documented within the project corridor. Resource agencies will be
contacted regarding documented environmental features in the area to acquire additional
information regarding the project sites. A field review of the project sites will be completed to verify
documented features and note other areas of interest. A map showing the documented sites will be
reviewed with Beaufort County. The Consultant will then meet with representatives from the identified
agencies to present the project and to obtain feedback on permit feasibility. In general, the
Pinckney Island Intermodal Transportation System Feasibility Study
Page
7
agencies will ask that minimization measures be put in place to preserve existing areas.
Environmental representatives will also coordinate with the National Ocean and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) to avoid any delays to the project that could be caused by impacting
Essential Habitats. Out project team has coordinated many projects with the USACE, SCDHEC-OCRM,
and NOAA and maintains excellent working relationships with these agencies. Environmental tasks
include the following:
1. Wetland delineation
2. Submerged aquatic vegetation survey
3. Protected species coordination and survey
4. Phase one cultural resource survey
5. Coordination meetings with USACE, OCRM,
Task 6- Final Report
Based on the information compiled above a benefit-cost analysis will be completed.
Input from
Beaufort County and others will be used to establish many of the criteria used in the analysis. If the
cost analysis indicated the project to be warranted then we will move forward. The CONSULTANT will
issue a final report with all the data and information collected during the feasibility study. This report
will include the determined best method to expand the current ferry system and the current public
transit system through The Lowcountry Regional Transportation Authority, as well as the costs
associated with the project. This report will be forwarded to Beaufort County for approval. This report
will also include a recommendation from the CONSULTANT regarding the best course of action for the
project.
