I. GENERAL INFORMATION

BACKGROUND. The US-60/US-65 Access and Operational Study includes analysis of two US highways

that intersect in the southeast area of Springfield. These highways provide critical linkages to a large

portion of Missouri.

This study will examine alternatives within the study limits to serve existing and future needs with the

intent to improve traffic operations, travel time, reliability, economic development and safety. This

study will also include a detailed analysis of current and projected traffic in relation to current facility

deficiencies, including structural bottlenecks, substandard roadway design, system capacity and

reliability during weather events, emergency operations, and environmental constraints.

PROJECT GOALS. The primary goals of the Access and Operational study are to:

• Develop both short-term and long-term alternatives and identify proposed actions for

improving operational performance,

• Establish a timeline for improvements of non-flyover ramps at 60/65,

• Meeting future transportation needs regarding future and existing access within the study

area, including potential development driven improvements

• Assess overall network connectivity in future scenarios, including evaluation of and

recommendations for the complementary arterial and collector roads within the study

area

The study area is generally described as the Battlefield/US-65 Interchange to the north, the Greene-

Christian County line to the south, the Glenstone/US-60 interchange to the west, and the Routes J-NN/US-

60 Interchange to the east, as well as undeveloped areas adjacent to the proposed East-West arterial

alignment and areas adjacent to US-60 east to MO-125. See map for further details. As part of the study

process, it will be necessary to identify public, environmental and resource concerns and opportunities in

the study area and use this information, along with public/stakeholder involvement, to develop the

purpose and need then evaluate alternatives to address the purpose and need.

The Consultant shall follow the requirements outlined in MoDOT’s Engineering Policy Guide, including, but

not limited to, the PEL and NEPA guidance in Section 127.28.

SCHEDULE. The following is the schedule of events which are anticipated by OTO for the

implementation and completion of selecting the firm/consultant to provide the requested services as
