1 GENERAL
The Project is intended to move approximately [xxx] persons per hour over the 2.8 mile
alignment. The material contained herein is intended to provide a uniform basis for the design of
the Project. The design criteria provide the basis for uniform design and are not a substitute for
the engineering judgment and sound engineering practices that will be required during project
development. It is the responsibility of the Design-Build Firm to expand upon the general
framework of the design criteria to a level of detail consistent with the level of design. The
Design-Build Firm is encouraged to analyze alternative approaches to solving design problems
to determine the most cost-effective and environmentally sound solution.
This design criteria manual is to be used by the Design-Build Firm to develop designs that meet
the intent stated. In situations where deviations to the criteria are encountered, the Design-Build
Firm shall submit a written request for a waiver or a change to the Department for approval.
All codes and standards referenced herein are intended to be the latest edition, unless
specifically identified otherwise.
1.1
CLIMATE/ ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The Project will be located in a region that has a humid subtropical climate. The city
experiences cold fronts from November through March, although most of the year is warm and
humid, and the summers are reminiscent of a true tropical climate. A typical summer day does
not see temperatures below 75 ºF (24 ºC). Temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s (30-35 °C)
accompanied by high humidity are often relieved by afternoon thunderstorms or a sea breeze
that develops off the Atlantic Ocean, which then may produce lower temperatures, although
conditions still remain very muggy. During winter, humidity is significantly lower, allowing for
cooler weather to develop. Average minimum winter temperatures are around 59 ºF (15 ºC),
rarely dipping below 40 ºF (4 ºC), and the equivalent maximum temperatures usually range
between 65 °F and 75 °F (18-24 °C). Figure 1-1 shows average, maximum and minimum
temperatures in the Fort Lauderdale area.
Fort Lauderdale receives abundant rainfall, one of the highest among major U.S. cities. Most of
this rainfall occurs from mid-May through early October. It receives an annual rainfall of 66.6
inches (1692 mm). The hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30,
although hurricanes can develop beyond those dates. The most likely time for Fort Lauderdale
to be hit by a hurricane is during the peak of the Cape Verde season, which is mid August
through the end of September.
The Project’s structural integrity, with streetcars stopped on any guideway section, shall
withstand wind pressures determined in accordance with the Florida Building Code (FBC), as
adopted by the Department, with no damage to the streetcar or appurtenant equipment. Wind
velocity for computing structural integrity when the train is not in hurricane storage shall be 65
mph. When the streetcar is in hurricane storage, the wind velocity shall comply with the
requirements of the FBC. The minimum safety factors against failure shall be per the FBC.

Above 65 mph, there is no requirement for any Project operation. However, vehicles and all
other equipment shall be able to safely withstand the wind pressures due to hurricane design
wind speeds as per t he FBC as adopted by Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale’s subtropical environment actively supports the growth of fungi and various
corrosion reactions on metals. Project materials and equipment shall be selected and designed
accordingly. Furthermore, due to the proximity of the ocean, the Project shall be designed to
operate with airborne salt levels in particulate and/ or dissolved form of approximately 10
micrograms of salt per cubic meter of air.

3 TRACK ALIGNMENT AND VEHICLE CLEARANCE
This chapter establishes the basic track geometry and clearance criteria to be used in the
design of the Wave Streetcar project.
Except for the requirements established in these criteria and the Project CAD standards, all
geometry and clearances will follow the AREMA Manual for Railway Engineering and Portfolio
of Track Work Plans, “The Track Design Handbook for Light Rail Transit” TCRP Report 155
sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration and the APTA Guidelines for Design of Rapid
Transit Facilities modified as necessary to reflect the physical requirements and operating
characteristics of the Wave Streetcar project.
3.1
TRACK ALIGNMENT
The Design-Build Firm shall review the vehicle characteristics upon its selection to verify that
design criteria identified in this Transit Requirement document are acceptable. The DesignBuild Firm shall update the Transit Requirements as required to provide a design that meets
these and/or the updated requirements.
3.1.1
Horizontal Alignment
Horizontal curvature and super-elevation will be related to design speed and the acceleration
and deceleration characteristics of the design vehicle. The streetcar includes at-grade segments
where vehicles will operate on a shared right-of-way with vehicular traffic within city and/ or
arterial streets. The track alignment shall be designed to maximize passenger ride quality at the
highest permissible operating speeds. Limiting factors include:
•
•
Legal speed of the parallel street traffic; or
42 mph maximum.
The design speed will take into account the spacing of station stops, location of curves,
construction limitations, and the performance characteristics of the design vehicle.
3.1.1.1
Tangent Alignment
Tangent Segments
The minimum length of tangent track between curved sections of track will be as follows:
Condition
Tangent Length
* Minimum
33 feet (10 m) or 3 times the
design speed in mph, whichever is
greater
0 feet (0 m)
** Absolute Minimum
* Not to be reduced below the “Minimum” dimension without
approval from the Department.
** Refer to Section 3.1.1.3 for information on reverse curves.

Transit Requirements
Curved turnouts may be designed with a curved track section of the same radius between the
point of switch (PS) and the nearest joint in order to provide track geometry flexibility and avoid
a broken back curve.
If adjacent curves in the same direction, which are in close proximity to one another, cannot be
replaced by a single simple curve due to geometric constraints, a series of compound curves
with connecting spirals will be the preferred track geometric application. Broken back curves,
(e.g., short tangents between curves in the same direction) will be avoided whenever possible.
On tangent alignment within the roadway, a maximum pavement crown of 2.0% across the rails
will be maintained in the roadway pavement to promote drainage. The profile grade line will be
identified by the lower rail elevation.
Switches
The minimum length of tangent track preceding a point of switch will be as follows:
Condition
Tangent Length
Minimum
10 feet (3.048 m)
* Absolute Minimum
5 feet
(1.524 m)
* Not to be used or reduced without approval from the
Department
Station Stops
At station stop platforms, the horizontal alignment will be tangent throughout the entire length of
the platform. For platforms that are adjacent to curves sharper than 650 feet, the tangent track
through the platform will be extended beyond both ends of the platform by 35 feet (may change
based on vehicle selection) so that the streetcar clearance envelope does not overhang any
portion of the platform as the streetcar approaches and leaves the stop.
Determine the required horizontal gap distance between the vehicle and platform edge based
on ADA requirements, and ensure that the vehicle doors do not strike the platform when in the
open position.
3.1.1.2
Curved Alignment
Intersections of horizontal tangents will be connected by circular curves which may be either
circular curves or spiraled curves as required by these criteria.
Circular Curves
Circular curves will be specified by their radius (See Figure 3-1 for curve and spiral
nomenclature). The minimum radius for tracks will be 65.62 feet (20m) unless otherwise
approved by the Department and vehicle manufacturer.
The design speed for a given horizontal curve will be based on its radius, length of spiral
transition, and actual and unbalanced super-elevation through the curve as described in the
following sections.
Super-elevation

Super-elevation is defined as the difference in inches the outer (high) rail is raised above the
inner (low) rail through a curve. Equilibrium super-elevation is the amount of super-elevation
that would be required so that the resultant force from the center of gravity of the streetcar
vehicle will be perpendicular to the plane of the two rails and halfway in between them at a
given speed. Equilibrium super-elevation will be determined by the following equation:

V

design speed through the curve, in mph (kph)
R

radius of curvature, in feet (m)
Calculated values for actual super-elevation will be rounded to the nearest ¼-inch (5 mm). For a
total super-elevation (Ea + Eu) of 1 inch (25 mm) or less, no actual super-elevation (Ea) will be
applied. Actual super-elevation (Ea) will be attained and removed linearly throughout the full
length of the spiral transition curve by raising the outside rail while maintaining the inside rail at
the profile grade.
The maximum values for actual and unbalanced super-elevation will be as follows:
Super-elevation
Maximum Value
Ea
=
4.0 inches desirable (100 mm)
6.0 inches absolute (150 mm)
Eu
=
3.0 inches desirable (75 mm)
4.5 inches absolute (115 mm)
On curved alignment within the roadway, a maximum pavement crown of 2.0% across the rails
will be maintained in the roadway pavement to promote drainage. However, at locations where
the roadway cross slope would impose a negative superelevation on the track, the cross slope
between the rails will be 0.0%.
Spiral Curves
Spiral curve length and super-elevation runoff are directly related to passenger comfort. Spiral
transition curves will be used in order to develop the super-elevation of the track and limit lateral

acceleration during the horizontal transition of the streetcar vehicle as it enters the curve. Spiral
transition curves will be clothoid spirals (See Figure 3-1 for curve and spiral nomenclature).
In cases where the geometry permits, simple curves will be used when the minimum radius
exceeds that required for the design speed per Table 3.1. In certain special cases spirals may
need to be eliminated for curves with smaller radii than those shown in the table below. All
special cases must be approved by the Department.

Reverse Curves
Every attempt will be made to use standard circular curves with tangent sections as described in
Section 3.1.1.2. For those sections where reverse curves must be used, the following criteria
may be used with prior approval from the Department.
•
•
Reverse curves will have spiral transition curves that meet at the point of reverse
curvature, with the rate of change of super-elevation constant through both of the spiral
curves.
The super-elevation transition through the spirals will be accomplished by sloping both
rails through the entire transition, as shown in Figure 3-2.
3.1.2
Vertical Alignment
The vertical track alignment will be composed of constant grade tangent segments connected at
their intersection by parabolic curves having a constant rate of change in grade. The profile
grade line on tangent track will be along the lower rail.
3.1.2.1
Vertical Tangents
The minimum length of constant profile grade between vertical curves will be as follows:

Station Stops
The profile at station stops will be on a vertical tangent which shall extend 30 feet beyond the
station stop end on each side. The Design-Build Firm shall review the vehicle characteristics
upon its selection to verify that a minimum of 30 feet is acceptable. The Design-Build Firm shall
update the Design Criteria and provide a design that meets these requirements.
3.1.2.2
Vertical Grades
The following profile grade limitations will apply:
Primary Track in Mixed-Traffic Lanes on City Streets
When the track occupies the travel lane or adjacent parking lane, the vertical profile should
match the roadway profile and associated crown to the extent reasonable and practical without
exceeding the Project design criteria. When setting initial profiles in roadway areas an
assessment will be made of the amount of adjacent roadway pavement that may need to be
reconstructed in any event due to requisite utility relocations. When such areas are considered,
it may be found to be both practical and cost-efficient to further optimize the track profile by
making minor pavement contour adjustments in the utility work areas.

Vertical Curves
3.1.2.3.1
General
The Design-Build Firm shall review the vehicle characteristics upon its selection to ensure that
the vehicle can negotiate the proposed minimum equivalent radius of curvature (for sags and
crests) specified within Chapter 3.1.2.3 of the Transit Requirements for vertical curves (sags
and crests). The Design-Build Firm shall modify the vertical design and Transit Requirements as
required.

Design Criteria
All changes in grade will be connected by vertical curves. Vertical curves will be defined by
parabolic curves having a constant rate of change in grade.
Vertical Curve Lengths
The desired minimum length of vertical curves will be 50 ft (15 m), but can be shorter so long as
the minimum equivalent radius requirement described below is not violated based on the vehicle
characteristics.
The absolute minimum length of vertical curves will be the greatest value determined from the

To allow the design of fixed facilities to proceed prior to the selection of a specific streetcar, a
composite design vehicle has been established based on the most critical vehicle dimensions
and operational characteristics of the vehicles under consideration by the Department. The
clearance criteria defined in this section is intended to provide latitude in selecting a streetcar
system for the present and for future selection of replacement vehicle technology.
Static Outline
The static dimensions of the composite streetcar may include mirrors on each side toward the
end of the vehicle. This information will be provided by the vehicle manufacturer. The mirrors
are assumed to extend a maximum of 6 inches outside of the normal static vehicle envelope.
Dynamic Outline
The dynamic outline of the composite streetcar includes the anticipated dynamic movement of
the vehicle during operation and factors to account for wear of both vehicle and track
components during the life of the system. The major factors which affect the dynamic outline
consist of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lateral roll of the vehicle;
Primary and secondary suspension failure;
Vehicle body yaw;
Lateral play in the wheels;
Rail wear and wheel flange wear; and
Vehicle manufacturer’s tolerances.
The actual extents to which these factors affect the total dynamic envelope are based on the
specific vehicle selected and are only approximate.
3.2.1.2
Track Curvature and Superelevation Adjustment
When a streetcar vehicle enters a horizontal curve, including turnouts, the dynamic outline must
be adjusted for overhang at the end of the vehicle and for middle ordinate shift (belly-in) midway
between the trucks (bogies) of the vehicles. The presence of superelevation will increase the
middle ordinate shift particularly toward the top of the vehicle.
3.2.1.3
Vehicle Middle Ordinate Shift toward Curve Center
The middle ordinate shift of the streetcar toward the curve center will be calculated by the
formula:
( L 2 2)( L + L 2 2) − ( P 2 4)

Vehicle Shifts Due to Superelevation
The distance from the centerline of track to the middle ordinate of the vehicle will be increased
where superelevation is applied in a curve. The maximum shift toward the curve centerline
based on a desired distance H feet above the top of rail can be calculated by the formula:
X = 0.016 E H
Where:
X
= lateral shift due to superelevation, in inches
E
= actual superelevation, in inches
H
= height of point of analysis on vehicle, in feet
Turnouts
When a streetcar vehicle travels through the diverging route of a turnout the dynamic outline will
be affected. During preliminary design, the dynamic outline will be checked adjacent to, and 50
feet beyond, all curved components (switches, closure rails) of the diverging turnout route in
order to determine potential conflicts with adjacent structures, poles, etc.

Mirrors
For clearance requirements, mirrors should be considered for tangent track and for the outside
of all curves. Mirrors will not be considered for the inside of curves when the car body midordinate exceeds the mirror mid-ordinate.
Horizontal Clearances
All existing and proposed structures, including catenary poles, bridge pier columns, and
retaining walls will clear the total streetcar dynamic outline as defined in Section 3.2.1.1, by a
distance equal to or greater than the sum of applicable clearances and tolerances defined in this
section.
Clearances will be checked between the streetcar dynamic outline and all adjacent structures
along tangent track and at turnouts a minimum of 50 feet in either direction of the structures.
This is to verify that an adjacent curved track does not affect the clearance in the adjoining
tangent section.
General Horizontal Clearances:
Rigid objects (i.e., retaining wall): Design variances for areas that do not conform to design
criteria will require the Department approval.
Adjacent traffic lanes: Only the static envelope will be used for non-rigid objects such as traffic
lanes and striping.
Track spacing for Streetcar Exclusive Track
The minimum allowable spacing between two exclusive streetcar mainline tracks, with equal
super-elevation and no overhead contact system (OCS) support poles between them will be
determined from the following formula:

NOTE: acoustic treatment is part of structure. Allow 3 inches for acoustic treatment.
Exceptions to the design envelope requirements are listed in Section 3.2.1.3.
Running Clearances
The running clearance provides clear passage for a vehicle which has moved to the extreme
position within the dynamic outline. Design running clearances for exclusive streetcar track will
be:
•
•
4 inches for poles and structural supports; and
2 inches for all other permanent structures.
Construction Tolerances Along Proposed Structures
A construction tolerance is required when a new structure is constructed adjacent to or above
the streetcar. This tolerance is added to the base construction and maintenance tolerance and
applies to construction that is part of the Project or future construction. This construction
tolerance is provided in the event the structure or part thereof, is incorrectly located during
construction.
These clearances will be:
•
•
6 inches for Soldier Pile and Lagging Walls
2 inches for other proposed structures
Track Construction and Maintenance Tolerances
Track construction and maintenance tolerances account for a combination of factors such as
track misalignment, wheel and track gauge tolerances, and wheel and rail wear. These
tolerances also include provisions for any cross level variances between the track rails due to
unintentional construction inaccuracies and possible deference of track maintenance during
operation of the system. The following track construction and maintenance tolerances apply:

Retaining Walls
Where retaining walls are used, they will comply with the following:
Cut Sections (For Future System Expansion)
In those cases where a retaining wall along the streetcar system is in a cut section, the
preferred minimum clearance from the centerline of track to the near face of a retaining wall will
be 9 feet 0 inches. Where no maintenance and emergency evacuation path is required adjacent
to the retaining wall, the absolute minimum clearance from the centerline of track to the near
face of a retaining wall will be 2 inches greater than the design envelope of the vehicle.
Fill Sections (For Future System Expansion)
In retained fill sections, the top of a retaining wall will be at the same elevation as the top of the
adjacent rail (the rail nearest to the wall), and the preferred minimum distance from the
centerline of track to any fencing or hand railing on top of the wall will be a minimum of 9 feet 0
inches. Where no maintenance and emergency evacuation path is required adjacent to a curb
or retaining wall without a fence or railing, the absolute minimum clearance from the centerline
of track to the near face of the curb or wall will be 2 inches greater than the dynamic envelope of
the vehicle.
When a minimum clearance value is applied on one side of the track, a minimum will not
simultaneously be used on the other side of the track since a safe refuge area must be provided
for passengers being evacuated from a train and for maintenance of way employees.
Maintenance and Emergency Evacuation Paths (For Future System Expansion)
A minimum clear width of 30 inches will be provided between the static envelope and any
continuous obstruction alongside the track to create a walkway for maintenance personnel and
to create a designated passenger emergency evacuation path.
This space will be provided in areas of restricted right of way, in areas of retained cut, and on
structures. The space should be reasonably level.
3.2.2
Vertical Clearances
Since the streetcar system will draw electric traction power from an overhead contact wire
system, provide the following vertical clearances from the top of the high rail along any given
section of track to contact wire, including mounting to the underside of any overhead structure,
within the horizontal limits of the clearance envelope:

4 CIVIL WORK
This chapter establishes the basic civil engineering criteria to be used in the design of the Wave
Streetcar project. It includes criteria for surveys and the design of drainage, roadways/ paving,
and determination of required rights-of-way.
4.1
4.1.1
SURVEY CONTROL SYSTEM
Horizontal Control
All horizontal controls for the Project will be based on survey control points established during
topographic survey of the corridor. Coordinates for the Project control points established for the
system will be based on the Florida State Plane Coordinate System. The North American
Datum of 1983 with the 2011 adjustment (NAD83/2011) will be used to establish horizontal
control.
The accuracy of the horizontal ground control and of supporting ground control surveys will as a
minimum be Third Order, Class II, as defined by the Federal Geodetic Control Committee and
published under the title Classification, Standards of Accuracy and General Specifications of
Geodetic Control Stations, published by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) in February 1974.
4.1.2
Vertical Control
The vertical control for the Project will be based on the North American Vertical Datum (NAVD)
of 1988.
The accuracy of the vertical ground control and of supporting vertical ground control surveys will
be at least Third Order, as defined in the preceding section.
4.2
DRAINAGE
The system drainage design goal is to protect the track and facilities from stormwater runoff
damage, and to minimize potential impacts to properties along the alignment from resulting
stormwater runoff, either passing through or caused by streetcar construction, while maintaining
consistency with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
Broward County has jurisdiction over the stormwater runoff quality criteria for the Project which
will be based on the established Surface Water Management Program. The Project must also
comply with the Federal National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater
program, as administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Since there is
no proposed additional impervious area, only the water quality of the stormwater runoff will be
monitored, not the stage-storage of design storms.
Broward County requires that all drainage facilities and systems will be designed and
constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection and Growth
Management Department, Surface Water Management Division (Municipal Code Chapter 27
Section 200). The Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector's Manual
contains Best Management Practices for construction activities during and after construction to
reduce erosion and sedimentation and to properly manage runoff for both stormwater quantity
and quality. Designs of drainage facilities belonging to other agencies which are relocated or
modified because of streetcar construction and which do not cross or run parallel to the

streetcar system guideway or facilities, will conform to the design criteria and standards of the
agency or jurisdiction involved.
4.3
RIGHT-OF-WAY
Right-of-way is the composite total requirement of all real property, interests and uses, both
temporary and permanent, needed to construct, maintain, protect and operate the Wave
Streetcar. The intent is to acquire and maintain the minimum right-of-way required consistent
with the requirements of the Wave Streetcar project.
The taking envelope is influenced by the existing topography, drainage, service roads, utilities,
the nature of the streetcar structures selected, and disaster and/ or fire fighting requirements.
Where property must be acquired to provide right-of-way for the Wave Streetcar project, such
property acquisition will be done in conformance with all appropriate city, state and federal
regulations.
4.3.1
Definition of Types of Right-of-Way
Rights-of-way may consist of any one or a combination of several types of real property
interests. There are Fee Ownership, Joint Use of Public Right-of-Way, Permanent Easement,
Construction Easement and Utility Easement.
4.3.1.1
Fee Ownership/ Exclusive Right-of-Way
Fee ownership is a condition where ownership of property is purchased for project related
facilities and the right-of-way is used exclusively by the Wave Streetcar.
4.3.1.2
Joint Use of Public Right-of-Way
Joint use of public right-of-way is a condition in which the Wave Streetcar facilities would be
constructed in the public right-of-way. Existing and future facilities such as sidewalks, gas lines,
water lines, sewers and others not necessarily related to the Wave Streetcar project could also
be contained in a portion of the same public right-of-way. Joint use of public right-of-way will
always be the first type of right-of-way considered for the Wave Streetcar project.
4.3.1.3
Permanent Easement
Permanent easement right-of-way is a condition in which ownership of the property is held in
Fee by others and an easement or right to occupy a certain limited portion of the property,
usually for a specified use, is acquired from the Fee owner.
4.3.1.4
Construction Easement
Construction easement right-of-way is a condition in which a temporary easement or short-term
lease is acquired from the Fee owner. A construction easement provides sufficient space to
allow for the use of the property by the contractor during construction. This easement usually
terminates soon after the completion of construction.

Utility Easement
Utility easement right-of-way is a condition in which ownership of the property is held in Fee by
others and an easement or right to install and maintain utilities, either underground or overhead,
on a certain limited portion of the property, is acquired from the Fee owner.
4.4
ROADWAYS
Roadway design in public rights-of-way will be in conformance with the specifications and
design guidelines of the local agency having jurisdiction. The structural cross section of the
streetcar pavement will be designed for a 20-year life to support the anticipated traffic use.
Road and parking surfaces will be either Portland cement concrete pavement or Plant-Mix
Bituminous Pavement. The criteria set forth in this section are applicable to the design or
alterations to existing streets.
4.4.1
Codes and Standards
Roadway design will be in accordance with the Codes and Standards described in Chapter 1,
General.,.
4.4.2
Roadway Geometrics
Design of roadways will be in accordance with a Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and
Streets, latest edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) and as listed below.
4.4.2.1
•
•
•
•
Traffic Lane Widths
City streets in accordance with Minimum Standards Applicable to Public Right-of-Way
under Broward County Jurisdiction.
State Roads in accordance with Department Standards.
In cases of significant constraint, a width reduction may be specified with the approval of
City of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, or the Department.
The traffic lanes widths shall accommodate the dynamic envelope of the streetcar
vehicle.
4.4.2.2
Number of Traffic Lanes
The number of traffic lanes and type of lanes (i.e., through, right or left) will be determined in
consultation with the City of Fort Lauderdale or Broward County, generally based on a traffic
analysis which considers projected traffic volumes, streetcar vehicles intersection crossings,
critical traffic movements, and geometric configurations.
4.4.2.3
Parking Lanes
Parking lane locations will be determined in consultation with the City of Fort Lauderdale,
Broward County and the Fort Lauderdale Parking Authority based on traffic analysis, safety
considerations and demand for on-street parking. Twenty-four hour parking prohibition will be
recommended at those locations (i.e., near intersections and at streetcar station stops) where
roadway width is not adequate to provide the necessary number of through lanes. Peak hour
parking prohibition will be recommended at those locations where traffic analysis shows that the

capacity of the traveled way without the parking lane will not provide level of service required.
Parking lanes, drop off lanes, and delivery lanes adjacent to streetcar lanes will be 9’-0” wide,
and striped to indicate the streetcar clearance envelop limits.
A stop location along a street with on-street parking is created by extending the sidewalk edge
out to meet the travel lane (a bulb-out), eliminating parking spaces.
4.4.2.4
Vertical Clearance
The minimum vertical clearance above the traffic lanes and shoulders on all roadways will be 19
feet. Clearance above the roadway when approaching or passing under an existing structure
may be reduced with approval of the City of Fort Lauderdale. The clearance will apply over the
entire vehicle roadway width including any contiguous auxiliary (turning) lanes and shoulders.
4.4.3
Curbs, Wheelchair Ramps and Curb Cuts
Concrete curbs and gutters will be reconstructed as necessary when impacted by the Project.
When new curb is constructed, the height of the face of curb above the finished pavement
elevation will be in accordance with City of Fort Lauderdale or Broward County Standards. At
station stop platforms, a curb 14 inches high will be provided to allow level boarding of
passengers to the low floor of the proposed streetcars, which will be 14 inches above top of rail.
This raised curb line also allows for ADA access to/ from the streetcar via level boarding. The
raised curb will be accomplished through transition ramps or slopes within the existing sidewalk,
curb or other.
Where the streetcar operates along a travel lane adjacent to on-street parking, a stop location is
created by extending the sidewalk edge and curb line out to meet the travel lane (a bulb-out),
eliminating parking spaces.
Wheelchair ramps with curb cuts will be provided in accordance with the following:
•
•
•
Restore or replace any existing ramps in compliance with current standards.
Provide new ramps at intersections where sidewalk exists and the curb returns are
modified as part of the Project. It is not necessary to provide ramps and curb cuts where
no sidewalk exists, unless the ramp is located at an intersection where no ramp exists.
Provide ramps and curb cuts at intersections or mid-block locations where new curb and
sidewalk will be constructed as part of the Project.
The design and location of curb cuts and ramps will be in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the City of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, the Department and USDOT's
Standards for Accessible Transportation Facilities to comply with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
At driveways, the curb and gutter will be depressed across the vehicle opening as per standards
of the City of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County.
4.4.4
Sidewalks
Sidewalks will comply with the standards of the City of Fort Lauderdale and/ or Broward County.
Cross slopes on sidewalks will desirably be two percent. Existing sidewalks impacted by the
Project will be repaired or replaced in kind where practical. New sidewalks may be required at
station stops.

Transit Requirements
At station stops, the minimum requirements for having a sidewalk in front of the station stop
shelter is 3 feet from the edge of the detectable warning strip with a 5 feet width being preferred.
Access ramps for a stop with sidewalk behind the shelter would require some extra sidewalk to
allow for maneuverability between the ramps and the sidewalk.
4.4.5
Driveways
Driveway pavement types and minimum widths will be as per the City of Fort Lauderdale or
Broward County Standards. In general, all existing driveways impacted by the Project will be
replaced in kind, where practical. Driveway closings required to facilitate streetcar operations or
construction must be approved by the Department, and City of Fort Lauderdale or Broward
County.
4.4.6
Roadway Paving
Restored or widened City or County streets will be designed in accordance with City of Fort
Lauderdale and Broward County Standards. For streets designated as state routes, the
pavement design will be in accordance with Department Standards.
Travel lanes, drop-off lanes, access drives, stop bars and selected crosswalks will be
designated with striping as per City of Fort Lauderdale or Broward County standards, depending
on whether the street is a City or County roadway.
4.4.7
Traffic Maintenance and Protection
The design drawings will be in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) and the requirements of the City of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County and the
Department. The design will include traffic staging and detour plans submitted to and approved
by local agencies. The maintenance and protection of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic must
be addressed on the plans.
Pedestrian traffic will be maintained where it is possible to do so safely. The Design-Build Firm
will include any site-specific requirements in the design drawings. Maintenance of pedestrian
traffic will be in accordance with the ADA and City of Fort Lauderdale standards, as appropriate.

5 UTILITIES
These criteria will govern planning, maintenance, support, restoration, abandonment,
reconstruction, removal, protection and construction of public and private utilities encountered or
impacted by construction of the streetcar system. Consideration will be given to the Project
needs, the requirements and obligations of the utility owners, and the service needs of adjacent
properties.
For the purposes of these criteria, public utilities include governmental agencies and public
utility agencies with facilities anticipated within the Project corridor, and include, but are not
limited to: Broward County State Attorney’s Office; Broward County Stormwater; Broward
County Traffic Engineering Division; City of Fort Lauderdale Water, Sewer and Stormwater; and
Florida Department of Transportation District 4 Stormwater.
Private utility companies anticipated within the Project corridor include, but are not limited to:
AT&T, Comcast, Florida Power and Light, Fiber Light, Level 3 Communications, MCI/ Verizon,
Sprint Nextel, and TECO/ People’s Gas.
5.1
CODES AND STANDARDS
Utilities design will be coordinated and in compliance with the requirements of the applicable
codes, regulations, and policies as established by the City of Fort Lauderdale Department of
Public Works, Broward County Department of Public Works, the Florida Department of
Transportation Utility Accommodation Manual, the Florida Building Code, the Wave Streetcar
Utility Rules of Practice, and all other codes and standards referenced in Chapter 1, General.
Efforts will be made to design the streetcar alignment and ancillary elements such that they
minimize impacts to existing utilities without jeopardizing the functionality of the Project.
5.2
DESIGN APPROACH
It is anticipated that the Wave Streetcar track facilities will be in conflict with underground and
above ground utilities at locations along the proposed route. To the fullest extent practicable and
economical, existing utilities will be maintained complete in place. Access to utilities that require
frequent inspections and maintenance should not be located within the streetcar clearance
envelope. Downtime for streetcar operations while utilities are excavated and repaired, in some
instances, would not be an acceptable option. Therefore, wherever utility relocations are
feasible, the utility will be moved to locations outside the streetcar clearance envelope.
Existing utility service will not be interrupted and, if temporarily relocated, will be restored upon
completion of work. Replacements for existing sewers or water mains will be designed to
provide service equal to that offered by the existing installations.
Primary considerations to both public and private utilities during the design of the streetcar will
include:
•
•
The proximity of existing utilities to proposed streetcar facilities will be governed by the
Wave Streetcar Utility Rules of Practice. The Rules of Practice document sets forth
policies and procedures for establishing when these facilities are in conflict with the
proposed streetcar and their resolution.

of utility facilities without, or within acceptable limits of, interference to streetcar
operations.
Accommodate relocated utilities within the public right-of-way, if possible.
Proposed utility relocation designs will ensure that the final overall utility system will be
equal to or better than the existing system, and that final installed utilities will be
compatible with the Project.
Existing surface conditions affected by utility relocation will be restored to match existing
–pre construction condition or in accordance with the improvements scheduled under the
Project.
The weight of the streetcar vehicle on the track slab results is equivalent to an HS-20
loading on subsurface conditions.
Coordination
Design of the relocation, replacement, and/ or protection of existing public utilities mentioned
above shall be performed by the Design-Build Firm, unless explicitly stated elsewhere in these
documents. The Design-Build Firm shall coordinated all relocation designs, public and private,
with the streetcar design plans, with other public and private utility relocation plans, and any
new planned facilities. Private utility owners will prepare a utilities master plan showing the
proposed location of existing utilities and their proposed relocated utilities relating to the Wave
Streetcar project. The Design-Build Firm will coordinate utility work within the Project limits,
inform all member agencies of utility work, and chair meetings concerning utility work for the
Project.
5.3
5.3.1
DESIGN ELEMENTS
Maintenance of Utility Service
Unless alternate accommodations are established with the affected utility, all public and private
utility facilities impacted by streetcar construction activities will remain in service during
construction in accordance with the requirements of the utility affected and applicable statues
and codes. Unavoidable disruptions to service will be coordinated with the individual utility
company impacted. The streetcar design effort will endeavor to minimize the amount of
disruption to utilities during construction.
5.3.2
Betterments
Betterments will be defined as the following:
•
•
•
The replacement of existing utilities in a location not directly affected by the streetcar
design, but may be cost effective to replace such utilities in construction zones since
excavation and maintenance of traffic will exist.
Any update or improvement to a utility’s facility being replaced or relocated, such as
capacity and/ or materials that exceeds current standards.
Made at the election of a utility company for its benefit and not attributed to the Project
construction.
The installation of different types or sizes of equipment to meet current standards or compliance
with the Wave Streetcar Utility Rules of Practice does not qualify as betterment, unless the
design capacity of the facility exceeds current capacity. Restoration of existing facilities will be
designed to provide services essentially equal to that furnished by existing installations. An

5.3.3
Corrosion Control
Metallic portions of public utilities will be protected in accordance with the requirements of
Chapter 12, Stray Current and Corrosion Control. Private utility companies will be responsible
for providing the necessary corrosion control for both their existing and proposed utilities. Their
design will be sufficient to avoid any interference from the streetcar system.

6 TRAFFIC
This chapter establishes the basis for engineering criteria to be used in the design of the Wave
Streetcar system. It includes requirements for traffic control devices and criteria for the design of
the traffic signal systems, signing and pavement markings, and traffic control through work
zones as they apply to interfacing the streetcar lines with the street and highway network.
Existing traffic signal mast arms and span wires may need to be relocated to accommodate the
proposed overhead contact system wire.
6.1
CODES AND STANDARDS
Traffic vehicle and pedestrian signals, signs and markings will be in accordance with the Codes
and Standards described in Chapter 1, General, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) published by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT), Department Design
Standards, and any applicable codes, standards or guidelines of Broward County and the City
of Fort Lauderdale.
6.2
GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA
Delineation will be provided by markings on the pavement. The width of the guideway will
include a buffer zone outside the dynamic envelope of the streetcar suitable to the specific
location.
Traffic turning movements across the track(s) from a parallel traffic lane will be avoided
wherever possible. At locations where such turns across the tracks must be allowed, special
traffic signal control devices, such as separate streetcar signal equipment and phasing, dynamic
signage, pavement marking, and roadway geometry, will be provided to control conflicting
movements.
Guideways and passenger stations stops will be designed so as not to create any unnecessary
interference with pedestrian movements. Where pedestrians must cross streetcar tracks,
appropriate control devices will be provided. Where a pedestrian crossing is part of a signalized
street intersection, control will be provided by means of standard vehicle and/ or pedestrian
traffic signals.
Sidewalks may also serve as station stop platforms provided that the needs of both the streetcar
passengers and those pedestrians not utilizing the streetcar service are reasonably
accommodated.
While there are no existing bike lanes along the Project, any future bike lanes will not cross
tracks at less than a 60 degree angle, and special signs should be provided to indicate the
dangers of cyclists crossing the tracks not at designated areas.
6.3
CONTROL OF STREETCAR INTERFACE WITH TRAFFIC
Where streetcars require a left turn at an intersection, or a right turn under special
circumstances, special signals will be provided to control streetcar movements. These streetcar
signals will be distinct from the traffic signals. They will be designed to display indications that
are conspicuous and do not resemble those displayed by conventional traffic signals. For more
detail regarding streetcar signals, refer to Chapter 13.0, Signal and Route Control.

These intersection streetcar signals will be operated by the same traffic signal controller that
operates the traffic signals. This control equipment will be capable of adding at any point in the
cycle a separate phase for streetcar movement on a pre-timed or actuated basis and will also
be capable of skipping such phases when not required. The equipment will also be capable of
coordinating signal operation at each intersection with any network of which it is a part.
The final design consultant, in coordination with the City of Fort Lauderdale and Broward
County, will determine (1) the type, location, phasing, and timing of the traffic signals, (2) the
methods of detecting vehicle traffic, pedestrians and streetcars and (3) the method of interfacing
the control at each location with existing traffic signal systems.
6.4
SIGN DESIGN
Traffic signs related to streetcar operations will be installed in accordance with MUTCD, the
Department, and Broward County requirements. Where a sign is to be installed in a nonstandard location or is a non-standard sign, the installation should be approved by the
Department, Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale. Special signs will be used to warn
cyclists of the dangers of crossing tracks.
6.5
PAVEMENT MARKING DESIGN
Paving markings related to streetcar operation will be installed in accordance with codes and
standards as listed in Chapter 1, General. Where marking requirements are not addressed by
these standards, appropriate designs will be developed by the final design consultant in
coordination with the City of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County and the Department. All
pavement markings should be ADA compliant. Pavement striping parallel to the tracks will be
provided to denote the worst case clearance envelope of the streetcars.
6.6
GENERAL OPERATIONS
Where streetcars operate in mixed traffic or adjacent thereto without an intervening barrier or
curb, they will travel no faster than the parallel roadway posted speed limit. At signalized
intersections, streetcars will approach at speeds that will permit them to stop short of the point
of conflict if the roadway is already occupied and, in no case at a speed higher than the posted
speed limit.
6.7
TRAFFIC CONTROL THRU WORK ZONES
Traffic control plans are required for the execution of traffic control and maintenance of traffic in
work zones. The plans will include temporary signage that provides warnings of upcoming
construction, temporary lighting if needed and temporary pavement markings to redirect traffic.
In addition to vehicular traffic, the traffic control plans will include provisions for pedestrian and
bicycle traffic during construction. It will also include any necessary lane closures, detours and/
or street and sidewalk closures required to construct the streetcar. The time and duration of
street and lane closure will be provided. Access to driveways, businesses, and residences will
be maintained and only interrupted for short durations when required, provided with sufficient
warning. Traffic control plans will be approved by the Department, Broward County, and the City
of Fort Lauderdale.

7 TRACKWORK
This chapter sets the standards and design policies to govern the engineering materials and
construction for trackwork and its interface with other elements on the Wave Streetcar project.
The limits of the work covered by this section are from the bottom of the track structure (top of
subgrade) to the top of rail and the necessary interfaces of the track structure with other
elements. All trackwork, special trackwork, and other practices described herein shall govern
the design of track structure for the Project system. These practices shall include the required
interfacing of trackwork with other elements of the Project system, such as street construction,
drainage, utilities, other civil construction elements, aerial guideway, bridges, traction
electrification system, train control/ signal system, communications and vehicle, and existing
operations.
7.1
TRACKWAY
Trackway is defined as that portion of the streetcar system, which has been prepared to support
the track and its appurtenant structures. Trackway design criteria for the Wave Streetcar project
are covered under two separate categories, mainline track and yard tracks.
7.1.1
Mainline Tracks
An embedded track slab will be the standard for trackwork for mainline track. A reinforced
concrete track slab will provide the foundation for this form of track construction. The design of
the track slab will be based on automotive vehicle loadings, streetcar vehicles, and soil
conditions.
Embedded track shall be installed wherever the trackway is shared with rubber-tired vehicles,
either in mixed traffic or in locations where only emergency vehicles will be permitted to travel.
The trackbed includes subgrade, crushed aggregate base course (if required), concrete track
slab, reinforcement bars (rebar), and running rail. The running rail shall be encased in
elastomeric grout or a rail boot to control stray currents. Flangeway dimension to be constant 23/8”±1/8”. All joints in boot shall be sealed to insure stray current control. After sealing, a holiday
test shall be performed and recorded verifying continuity of the rubber boot with no leakage.
Development of track requirements includes consideration of maintainability, reliability, parts
standardization, capital costs, safety, ride comfort, operations, noise and vibration control,
constructability, life cycle cost, and maintenance costs. Maintainability and reliability are of
particular importance since train frequencies make it difficult to maintain track during normal
operating hours. Parts standardization is also important in that it allows inventories to be
minimized and promotes mass production by suppliers, thereby reducing unit costs and
enabling the purchase of “off the shelf” items.
Track modulus can vary dramatically among various track types. Therefore track transition
between embedded and ballasted tracks, between embedded and direct fixation tracks, and
between direct fixation and ballasted track shall be properly designed to avoid sudden changes
in track modulus. Transition slab and ties shall be installed to ease the transition from the stiff
modulus of elasticity in the embedded or direct fixation track to the relatively softer modulus of
elasticity of the ballasted track in an effort to relieve potential differential settlement.
Existing street pavement will be cut and trenched to sufficient width and depth to allow for the
construction of the track slab, special trackwork bathtub, and streetcar Systems ducts.

All embedded concrete track slabs shall include steel reinforcement.
7.1.1.1
Transition Slabs
Transition slabs will be provided at all transitions between ballasted and embedded track.
7.1.1.2
Sub-base
The required thickness of sub-base for the track slab will be determined through a structural
analysis of the track structure and analysis of the engineering characteristics of the subgrade
soils. In general, the sub-base layer for the embedded track slab will consist of a uniform layer
of coarse aggregate that is placed over and follows the profile and cross-section of the
subgrade and is not less than 6 inches [150 mm] deep. At a minimum, the Department
Specifications for selected materials will be met.
7.1.1.3
Embedded Special Trackwork
The term “special trackwork” designates the trackwork units necessary where tracks converge,
diverge, or cross one another. Special trackwork includes turnouts, diamond crossings,
crossovers, and expansion joints. All tee rail special trackwork design shall be based on
AREMA standards, except as modified to meet the special conditions of the Project system.
Turnouts are set to provide connection to branch lines, interline connections, storage tracks,
and industrial sidetracks, and to merge two main lines into a single line at the end of a double
track segment. Crossovers consist of two turnouts located to allow traffic to cross over from one
track to another; both tracks usually begin in parallel. Where a pair of crossovers is required, it
shall be one right hand and the other left hand (universal crossover). If this is not possible, or if
extraordinary site conditions make it more economical, a double crossover may be used. The
size of turnouts or crossovers selected depends upon its purpose, desired design speeds, and
local geometric constraints.
A reinforced concrete tub lined with electric isolation material will be constructed for all special
trackwork. Direct fixation special trackwork encapsulated with an isolating material may also be
considered in lieu of reinforced concrete tub.
7.1.1.4
Embedded Track Drainage
Track drains will be used in paved track areas to properly drain the rail flangeways and the
pavement surface between the rails. Track drains will be spaced generally every 600 feet
maximum on tangent level track. Drains will also be located at the low points of the profile and
on the high side of special trackwork to prevent water and dirt from entering critical areas. Track
drains will be electrically isolated from the running rails. Track drain grates will be bicycle safe
grates. Transverse perforated drain pipes shall be added in the subballast at the end of
transition slabs between paved track and ballast track.
The rail boot will drain into the track drain and a mesh filter will cover the track drain in order to
avoid debris or other materials from blocking the track drain.
After the track has been installed, the specified embedment section will be applied to conform to
the required street cross-section.
Particular attention will be directed toward proper drainage of street trackage. The adjacent
pavement surface will be designed so water will drain away from the track. Track drains will be

used to prevent water from standing. In areas of special trackwork, particular attention will be
directed to provide drainage for the special trackwork units and switch-throwing mechanisms.
When possible, track drains will be located in tangent track in order to avoid special conditions
required to accommodate restraining rail. Electrically isolated rail will continue through the track
drain. Drainage pipes for switch machines will also be included.
7.1.1.5
Trackwork Embedded in Existing Bridge Structures
The construction of the streetcar rail across the SE 3rd Avenue Bridge over the New River
requires structural modifications to the movable span of the bridge and the approaches to the
bridge from the north and south. The bridge is comprised of seven spans including pre-stressed
concrete spans, steel flanking spans, and a movable steel twin leaf Scherzer rolling lift bridge
span with an open grid steel deck.
It is recommended the movable span is replaced and the approach spans are retrofitted for the
introduction of the Streetcar. This will require replacement of girders/ beams on the bridge and
construction of a concrete deck on the new girders/ beams with the streetcar embedded in that
deck. This is necessary due to (1) the depth of the proposed rail and the structure supporting
the rail would conflict with the existing girders/ beams and (2) the additional load of the streetcar
on the existing girders/ beams.
Where embedded track encroaches upon existing bridge approach slabs, the approach span
modifications will be designed and constructed to maintain the structural integrity and
functionality of the existing approach span and support the new embedded track and track slab.
The cross slope of the concrete deck slab between the track rails for the all approach spans and
approach slabs shall be level. All approach span design and modifications will be in accordance
with applicable AASHTO or AREMA standards and in accordance with standard industry
practice (see Chapter 8, Structural). All track design and construction work that will come into
contact with existing bridge structure will be coordinated with Broward County and the
Department.
Where embedded track crosses existing bridge joints, the joint modifications will be designed
and constructed in a manner that effectively accommodates track expansion joints, and the
independent thermal movements of the track and bridge structure. Joint modifications will be
designed and constructed in a manner that maintains existing water tightness and drainage of
the existing joint system, preventing leakage of water into areas below the bridge decks.
7.1.1.6
SE 3rd Avenue Bridge Track Design
The SE 3rd Avenue Bridge is unique in comparison to other typical bridge retrofits for streetcar
projects since this bridge is composed with a two leaf draw bridge consisting of an open steel
grating deck serving as the running surface for motorists (See Structural Drawings for details).
The track design for the bridge approach spans leading to the movable portion of the bridge will
follow the criteria stated in 7.1.1.5 Trackwork Embedded in Existing Bridges.
The two leaf grating decks will be modified to accommodate the rail such that the top of rail
elevation matches the existing grated surface. An alternative illustrating structural modifications
to facilitate placement of the rail is shown in the structural drawings. The alternative shown in
the structural drawings is an option for the Design-Build Firm to consider for design
development. The Design-Build Firm will also have the option of developing other alternatives to
this design if the new alternative can save time in construction and costs to construct the bridge
itself.

Structural modifications as shown in the structural drawings are an alternative design to
facilitate the placement of the rail. The structural modifications consist of replacement of
longitudinal stringers with reduced depth, installing custom made concrete ties (beams)
fastened to the reduced depth stringers, rail fastened to the custom made concrete ties, and
new steel open deck grating fastened to the concrete ties. Concrete ties will be constructed with
embedded cast shoulder anchors (4 each – 2 for each rail), resilient rail clips (4 each), rail
insulators (4 each) and elastomeric rail pad (2 each). Concrete tie spacing for the leaf support
will be 24 inches on center, maximum. Grating surface cannot be in contact with the rail, will
provide clear space for the rail fastening system for the concrete tie and the streetcars’ wheel
flangeway on the gauge side and clear space on the field side of the rail.
The track design will also provide three miter joints for each rail, one to be placed at each hinge
point for the two leafs and one at the center interface point where the two leafs meet or a total of
12 for the entire bridge. Although there will not be a return current running through this section
of the track, the track design will provide insulation for the rail fastening system so the required
communications current is not interrupted.
The bridge will have a vital interlocked system with the Project train control system in order to
safely operate the bridge and streetcar movements.
The Design-Build Firm will coordinate with Broward County Public Works Department as to the
need for providing a maintenance box to encase each of the miter joints. Broward County Public
Works Department will be responsible for maintenance of the bridge and the Design-Build Firm
will need to coordinate track and structural design for encasing or embedding each miter joint.
7.1.2
Yard Tracks
The yard trackway will be constructed with embedded or ballasted track.
7.1.2.1
Sub-ballast
Sub-ballast is defined as a uniformly graded material that will provide a semi-impervious layer
between the ballast and the subgrade. It facilitates drainage by shedding water off to the sides
of the trackway, shielding the subgrade from moisture that percolates down through the ballast.
Sub-ballast material will be used beneath ballasted track sections.
The required thickness of sub-ballast will be determined through a structural analysis of the
track structure and analysis of the engineering characteristics of the sub-grade soils. In general
the sub-ballast layer for the track will consist of a uniform layer of coarse aggregate that is
placed over and follows the profile and cross-section of the sub-grade and is not less than 6
compacted inches [150 mm] deep. Sub-ballast will extend 12 feet beyond the track centerline on
either side with a 40:1 cross slope, typically crowned in the middle.
7.1.2.2
Ballast
A No. 5 ballast gradation of granite ballast will be used for the yard trackway. The ballast
gradation number will be in conformance with the AREMA specifications. A minimum depth of
12 inches of ballast will be used between the bottom of tie and the top of the sub-ballast
(beneath the low running rail). The shoulder ballast will extend a minimum of 12 inches beyond
the ends of the ties parallel to the plane formed by the top of the rails. Shoulder ballast will then
slope downward to the sub-ballast at a 2:1 slope. Use of ballast retainer wall or retaining wall
will be investigated to prevent ballast from over spilling into pavement areas or in areas with

limited right-of way. The final top of ballast elevation will be 1 inch below the top of the ties,
when compacted. Insulating pads and insulated clips will be used provide stray current control.
Crushed slag or limestone ballast will not be permitted.
7.1.2.3
Slopes
On ballasted sections, side slopes of earth will generally be constructed two horizontal to one
vertical or flatter. Side slopes of earth steeper than two horizontal to one vertical may be used in
special situations to avoid excessive earthwork or right-of-way costs; however, such slopes will
not be used without a geotechnical engineer's determination of slope stability.
7.1.2.4
Ballasted Track Drainage
Ditches, grate drains, and/ or underdrains will be provided at the edges of the track to prevent
water from ponding or covering any part of the track structure or contributing to subgrade
instability. Minimum ditch grade will comply with the requirements of Chapter 1, General. In
areas where the right-of-way does not allow use of the standard ditch section, underdrains will
be used with concrete ballast curbs.
7.2
TRACKWORK
7.2.1
Mainline and Yard Tracks
7.2.1.1
Track Gauge (Mainline and Yard Tracks)
Track gauge will be a standard gauge of 4 feet 8 ½ inches (1435mm). The gauge is the distance
between the inner sides of the head of rails measured 5/8th of an inch below the top of rails.
There will be no cant in embedded track.
7.2.1.2
Running Rail (Mainline and Yard Tracks)
AREMA 115RE tee rail is to be used for running rail (see Figure 4-1). The AREMA 115RE tee
rail requires a formed flangeway within the concrete track slab to accommodate the streetcar
wheel flange. AREMA 115RE tee restraining rail (guarded track) will be used on curves with a
radius of 500 feet or less to reduce wear by restraining the wheels away from the outer rail and
adjacent to both running rails in special trackwork.
Restraining rail will extend 10 feet into the tangent beyond each end of the curve and beyond
turnouts. Restraining rail will be added adjacent to both running rails (inside curve and outside
curve) for curves with a radius of 100 feet or smaller. The flangeway gap between the running
rail and restraining rail will be determined by the wheel profile analysis based on the selected
vehicle. Restraining rail will be added adjacent to the inside running rail for curves with a radius
over 100 feet and below 500 feet. A separator block will be used between the running rail and
restraining rail.
Horizontal bending of rail should be performed in roller straighteners for curve radii below 300
feet (120 m). All running rails will be procured in the longest lengths practical for transportation
logistics and then electric flash butt welded into the longest continuous length feasible for
installation. Field welds that conform to AREMA Specifications will then be used to join the
lengths of flash butt welded rail.

Track
Turnouts, crossovers, and crossing diamonds in the embedded streetcar track or embedded
track special trackwork units will be constructed in a concrete ‘bathtub’ track slab with rubber
liner to electrically isolate the special trackwork from ground. Special trackwork encapsulated
with an isolating material may also be considered in lieu of reinforced concrete tub. Turnouts will
have minimum 65.62 feet (20m) radius European style double-flexive tongue switches and
flange-bearing mono-block curved or straight frogs, fully guarded. Standard AREMA turnouts
may also be used.
Efforts will be taken to design embedded track turnouts so that switch machines are not located
in areas of shared use with vehicular traffic in order to enhance the safety of maintenance
technicians. Embedded special trackwork will be positioned so that switches, frogs and crossing
diamonds are not located in pedestrian paths so as to enhance the safety of both pedestrians
and small-wheeled vehicles (e.g., wheelchairs) crossing the tracks.
Turnout and crossing diamond frogs will be designed to accommodate the narrow tread
streetcar wheel and hence will be configured for flange bearing use. On curved streetcar
crossing diamonds, consideration will be given to making the outer rail of the crossing diamond
fully flange-bearing and the portions along the inner rail tread-bearing so as to take advantage
of the steering effects of the different rolling radii of the flange tip versus the tread.

2.
Crossbeam: The crossbeam for both tool posts is executed in cast iron
with rigid longitudinal and cross ribbing. As the crossbeam reaches over
the whole machine width, both supports cover the entire area from the
axle center to the outside face of both wheels, thus ensuring that not only
all profiles are machined but also all axle mounted brake disks (between
both wheels) and wheel mounted brake disks types can be corrected by
turning. To guide the supports, wear resistant and grease-lubricated antifriction guide ways are used on the entire crossbeam length so that loss
lubrication is not necessary. Grease lubrication is cost-effective and
clean. It is carried out in accordance with the intervals laid down in the
maintenance instructions and by means of the grease gun which is part of
the scope of delivery. The feed drives and the integrated helical ball
spindles serving to advance the supports in Z-direction are also located at
the crossbeams. The ball spindles between both tool posts are protected
against dust and turning chips by means of suitable covers.
3.
Friction roller drives: The friction roller drive and the main drive constitute
the drive unit of the under-floor wheel set lathe. Two friction rollers per
wheel actuate the wheel set at the outer tread surface area. The two
drive rollers per side and their axes are located in two separate oscillating
levers which are mounted in roller bearings in the column. The drive units
consist of one motor and one gear box which are also mounted on the
oscillating levers. The oscillating levers are sufficiently rigid in horizontal
direction in order to guarantee a constant friction for achievement of the
cutting forces. In vertical direction they are sufficiently movably mounted
in order to follow the out of roundness of worn wheels. Thus an optimal
constant contact is achieved between the driving rollers and the wheel.
Lifting of the wheel set from the rails and the support during the
machining is by two hydraulic cylinders acting against the raising and
lowering of the oscillating levers. The movement of the oscillating levers
is synchronized in order to simultaneous raise the drive rollers. The
equipment comprises:
a.
Four drive rollers in tempered and ground execution which run on
grease-lubricated roller bearings.
b.
Four oscillating levers, each with one driver roller and shaft, the
drive consisting of motor and gear box. The gear box is
immersion lubricated.
c.
Four hydraulic cylinders for raising and lowering of the oscillating
levers.

The wear measuring wheel scans the actual profile with a wear
measuring program. After machining the wheel at a very low chip
removal rate, the CNC control system determines the new
optimum wheel set diameter by means of the measured data.
g.
This nominal machining diameter is indicated at the control panel
and can be accepted or corrected by the operator.
h.
By comparing the measured actual profile with the nominal
machining diameter, the maximum cutting depth is detected and a
division into preliminary and finished cuttings is automatically
performed. Even during machining without wear measurement
(diameter input) or when carrying out a measuring cut, the
measuring device is used to detect the position of the wheel disks
in relation to the machine.
i.
A means of correcting the measuring wheel wear via a calculating
parameter is provided by the CNC control system.

over the machine is closed by two hydraulic operated rail sections.
b.
By means of the slide rails, the space between the drive rollers at
the roller carrier is closed. They are hydraulically actuated and
blocked mechanically. The fixed rails of the standard version are
supported at the pit edges and the crossbeams of the machine. If
the foundation pit is larger, vertical supports which are connected
with anchor bolts to the foundation are used to reduce the
supporting distance of the roll through rail track.
c.
For machining, the wheel set with a precision of approx. ± 1.97 (50
millimeters) should be positioned to the centre of the machine
according to the marking on the roll-through rail.
d.
To facilitate the preliminary wheel set positioning, a rail section is

11 TRACTION POWER SUPPLY & DISTRIBUTION
These criteria include functional and design requirements for the supply and distribution of the
750 VDC traction power supply system (TPS) to transmit electric energy from its source to the
vehicles.
11.1 GENERAL
The vehicles will be propelled by electric traction motors. Energy to drive these motors will be
supplied to the vehicles by rectifier substations located along the wayside through a system of
distribution cables, switches and an overhead contact system (OCS) installed above each track.
A pantograph will be mounted on each vehicle to serve as the interface between the vehicle and
the OCS and function as the collector of electrical current for the vehicles. The running rails of
each track, bonds, and cabling complete the path of electrical current back to the substation.
The sections of the system between the stations identified on the alignment map, on both sides
of the New River, will be without OCS. Vehicles will travel in these two sections using an
Onboard an Energy Storage System.
The design of the traction power distribution system will be such that it will provide an adequate
source of electrical power to the vehicles under all vehicle and traction electrification system
normal and contingency operating conditions as defined in paragraph 11.3.3. The Design-Build
Firm will include as part of the design goals, the safe and efficient operation of the system under
all specified operating conditions.
The specific subsystems of the traction power system are the utility ac supply feeders and
switchgear, the transformer/ rectifier units to convert alternating current (AC) power to direct
current (DC) power, the DC power distribution system comprising of the overhead contact wire
and negative return systems. The Design-Build Firm will coordinate with the utility or local
supplier (FPL) of primary power, as well as designers of other project systems or elements,
such as the vehicles, signals/ traffic control, communications, civil works, etc., to ensure
compatibility with the traction power system.
All rail joints and electrical track connections must be electrically “bonded” with the exception of
any temporary connections. An exothermic process (Cad-weld or Thermite-weld) shall be used.
All utility work performed by the Utility Owners, for which the Utility Owner is reimbursed by the
Design-Build Firm, must conform with the Buy America clause stipulated in Division 1.
A draft service application for traction power has been submitted to FP&L provided as a
reference document.
11.2 REQUIREMENTS
The following sections describe the specific elements that will be included in the design of the
traction power system.
11.2.1

system. Each substation shall be provided within a separate enclosure.
11.2.2
DC Feeder System
The DC feeder system consists of terminations, cabling and switching equipment to connect the
rectifier substation to the positive and negative distribution systems. The positive DC feeders
originate from the load side of the DC switchgear and continue from the substation to the point
of connection to the overhead contact system, which is the substation side of the disconnect
switch, through underground conduits and ductbanks. The positive DC feeder system includes
any parallel cabling necessary to maintain the voltage regulation of the power distribution
system. The negative return cables originate from the negative bus and continue from the
substation through underground conduits and ductbanks to the running rails. Negative return
system includes any parallel cabling necessary to limit the rail potential. The cables shall be
flame retardant low halogen type.
11.2.3
Overhead Contact System
The overhead contact system (OCS) comprises all electrical, mechanical and structural

Transit Requirements
Substation Location, Rating and Spacing
The Design-Build Firm shall work with the City of Fort Lauderdale to determine locations to
locate the traction power substations. There will be two substations each on north and south
side of river. There will be no traction power connection between the two sides. The substations
design will be based on low voltage primary power with rectifier rating not exceeding 500 kW
although higher ratings may be considered if necessary. If required, low voltage primary power
may be obtained by dedicated step-down transformers installed near the traction substations in
consultation and coordination with the local utility owner.
DC power supply for the shop shall be provided by a dedicated rectifier. It will not be connected
with the rest of system.
The Design-Build Firm shall perform a computer-aided simulation to confirm the suitability of the
substations rating and location for providing acceptable OCS and rail voltage. Inputs to the
calculations shall include vehicle performance characteristics, two hour full peak operating load
cycle, station stops, limiting speeds, and track profiles. It will also include assumed delay at
traffic signals. The purpose of the study will be to ensure that low OCS voltage or high rail
voltage will not occur on the line under specified normal and contingency operating conditions
and that the equipment rating is adequate. If necessary, transformer/rectifier ratings or locations
may be changed or an additional TPSS may be added to ensure that system operating
requirements are met. General operation parameters are as follows:
Normal Operation Traction power system shall be designed so that adequate power is
supplied to the system, with all substations operating, to maintain rated streetcar operating
performance during peak-hour traffic conditions without causing OCS voltage to drop below
525V. This will include instances of simultaneous starting of two streetcars at maximum
acceleration at any station stop.
Contingency Operation With any one TPSS out-of-service, system shall be capable of
supporting the normal operating schedule without OCS voltage dropping below 525V. However,
under these same conditions, two streetcars shall be able to start simultaneously at a reduced
acceleration.
11.3.3
Substation Primary Power
Low voltage, 3-phase, 60 Hz primary service will be provided by the electric utility servicing the
area. As far as possible, no two adjacent substations will be fed from the same primary supply
breaker or bus. If low voltage power is not available from the utility, a step-down transformer
may be provided near TPSS.
11.3.4
Substation Equipment
All substations will have, as a main component, a transformer/ rectifier unit with its associated
AC switchgear, DC switchgear and ancillary devices. Rectifier and dc switchgear shall be
isolated from the ground. The TPSS will be designed to operate unattended.
The AC incoming power will feed the TPSS through a utility supplied isolation device. The load
side of the device will feed two AC breakers, one supplying power to the Rectifier Transformer
and the other to the auxiliary power transformer to supply housekeeping power for distribution in
the enclosure. Auxiliary supply may be obtained from line side of the breaker also so that

Transit Requirements
Feeder jumpers at disconnect switches will be sized to provide the same or greater ampacity as
the contact system.
The locations of Overhead Contact System (OCS) poles shall be coordinated with station
platforms, sidewalks, utilities, basements, manholes, and underground vaults. Pole size and
spacing shall be coordinated with the systems design so as to effectively integrate OCS
elements into the streetscape. Wherever possible, OCS supports shall be shared with street
lighting and traffic signals so as to minimize proliferation.
OCS of the maintenance shop shall be isolated from the OCS of yard.
11.5.2
Overhead Contact System Configuration
A single fixed termination contact wire style OCS will be used on the main lines, yard tracks and
shop.
The tensions in the contact wire on the mainline and Yard will be determined by calculation to
provide a minimum Factor of Safety of 2 at a temperature of 30 degrees F. The temperature
range for calculating tension/ temperature chart will be 30 degrees F to 130 degrees F and use
an equivalent span of 80 ft. For a 30% worn contact wire the FOS can be reduced to 1.6.
The system will be split into tension lengths. Overlaps between tension lengths will be uninsulated. Section insulator, in conjunction with hand operated disconnect switches, may be
used for sectionalizing of short lengths of trolley wire, if required by the Department or any
stakeholder. The maintenance shop area, if required, will contain a single contact wire fixed
termination style of OCS. Contact wire tension inside the shop and methods of anchoring will be
coordinated with the shop designers. Depending on the yard layout, the contact wire in the yard
will be supported by a single or back-to-back pole mounted cantilever arms, cross span or head
span structures. Attachment in the shop will be made to the building structure in collaboration
with the building structural designer.
11.5.3
Design Coordination
The OCS will be designed in accordance with the criteria in Chapter 3, Track Alignment and
Vehicle Clearance; Chapter 7, Trackwork; and Chapter 9, Vehicle.
11.5.4
Contact Wire Height and Gradients
The minimum contact wire height at mid span will be in accordance with NESC Table 232-1.
Normally, contact wire height at supports should be 19’-0”.
Where contact wire is graded between various support heights, the designed gradient will be no
steeper than 1.3%. Gradients up to 2.3% can be allowed in yard and in extenuated
circumstances on the mainline subject to the Engineers approval.
11.5.5
Pantograph Security
For pantograph security calculations the wind loads will be based upon a wind speed of 65 mph.
The span lengths will be designed to provide for security (prevention of de-wiring) and to
maintain good current collection. Minimum pantograph security (residual width) will be 3 inches
from the tip of the pantograph.

Span Lengths and Staggers
The contact wire will be displaced from track centerline on both tangent and curved track,
Stagger is the deliberate lateral displacement of the contact wire at each support to the left or
right of the elevated track centerline. On tangent track, the wire is staggered primarily to achieve
uniform wear of the pantograph collector strip. On curved track, the offset displacement
achieves the tangent/ chord construction necessary for the tensioned contact wire to negotiate
the curve without exceeding the maximum permissible offset.
The Design-Build Firm will consider the effects of environment, track geometry, vehicle and
pantograph sway, pantograph collector dimensions, and both the installation and maintenance
tolerances. Vehicle roll and lateral sway into the wind will equal 50% of the maximum dynamic
values, determined from vehicle manufacturer’s data.
11.5.6
Overhead Contact System Conductors
The contact wire will be 350 kcmil solid grooved hard-drawn copper, conforming to ASTM
Specification B47.
11.5.7
Factor of Safety
The OCS system poles and foundations will be designed in accordance with AISC and ACI
using calculated maximum loads. All other OCS fittings and conductors will have a Factor of
Safety (FOS) of 2 over the maximum calculated load under non-operating conditions. For wind
loads the maximum wind speed used for design against failure will conform to Florida state and
Broward County requirements.
11.5.8
Poles and Foundations
Round tapered poles will be used everywhere including the Yard. The poles will be made
corrosion resistant by a combination of galvanizing and painting. As far as possible, poles shall
be of uniform length. Unless dictated by special conditions, poles will be mounted by means of
embedded anchor bolts. In areas where conditions require other than cast-in-place concrete
foundations, each location must be evaluated and a foundation designed that meets the site
specific requirements as well as the design criteria. Each pole will have a ground connection
installed via ground rods.
Pole deflection plus foundation rotation will be no more than two and one half percent of the
pole length when maximum bending load is applied two feet from top of pole. Across track pole
deflection at contact wire height will be no more than one inch under normal operating live load.
Anchor bolt patterns will be selected to provide a one-on-one relationship between pole and
foundation, based on the matching strength.
The design and construction of the pole foundations and guy anchor foundations will conform to
established civil and structural engineering practices for South Florida, AISC and ACI standards,
and other applicable codes as indicated in Chapter 1, General. The foundations will be
reinforced concrete or steel tubular piles and will be capable of withstanding the design load
imposed during installation, operation and maintenance.

12 STRAY CURRENT AND CORROSION CONTROL
This chapter will apply to corrosion control design for underground metallic structures and pipes,
storage facilities, and any other facilities where corrosive conditions can occur due to stray DC
current. Types of corrosion control include stray current mitigation, protective coating, and
cathodic protection.
12.1 PURPOSE
These criteria describe design requirements necessary to accomplish corrosion control
measures for all rail transit projects utilizing electric traction power. Design factors to consider
for each system include plans to minimize stray current at the source, prevent premature
failures of transit facilities, and other underground structures to be installed, operated, and
maintained in a cost effective manner.
12.2 SCOPE
12.2.1
General
These criteria are separated into three areas, namely stray current corrosion control, soil
corrosion control, and atmospheric corrosion control. The design criteria for each of these
categories and its implementation will meet the following objectives:
•
•
•
•
12.2.2
Realize the design life of transit facilities by avoiding premature failure caused by
corrosion.
Minimize annual operating and maintenance costs associated with material
deterioration.
Ensure continuity of operations by reducing or eliminating corrosion related failures of
transit facilities and subsystems.
Minimize detrimental effects to facilities belonging to others as may be caused by stray
earth currents from transit operations.
Stray Current Corrosion Control
Stray current control will be based on the following principals:
•
•
•
•
Increasing the conductivity of the return circuit.
Increasing the resistance between the return circuit and the earth.
Increasing the resistance between the earth and underground metallic structures.
Increasing the resistance of underground metallic structures.
Stray current control measures will be installed on traction power and track systems to obtain
minimal flow of DC stray current into the surrounding environment. Protection measures will be
applied to assure that stray earth currents are maintained within acceptable ranges to avoid
deterioration of buried metallic structures. Data will be obtained during Baseline Stray Current
Surveys to determine effects/ magnitude of stray currents, if present, on existing utility
installations, and to serve as a documented reference for future investigations.

Wave Streetcar
Transit Requirements
Soil and ground water corrosive characteristics will be determined and documented during the
Baseline Stray Current Surveys. Analysis of the data obtained, or from supplemental on-site
measurements, will be the basis for corrosion control designs. Structures will be protected
against the environmental conditions by use of coatings, insulation, cathodic protection, and
electrical continuity as appropriate.
12.2.4
Atmospheric Corrosion Control
The atmospheric corrosion conditions such as temperature, relative humidity, wind direction and
velocity, solar radiation, and amount of rainfall will be determined during the Baseline Stray
Current Survey. The areas with corrosive atmospheres (industrial, marine, rural, etc.) will be
identified. Materials selection, designs, and associated coatings will be based on
recommendations of the survey and will be used to prevent metallic structures and hardware
from atmospheric corrosion.
12.2.5
Grounding
Due to the natural difference between safety grounding and corrosion control requirements, the
guidelines provided in these criteria will be followed. Grounding designs for traction power
substations, passenger stations, shops and yards, aerial structures, and other wayside
locations, will be reviewed by corrosion control personnel to assure corrosion control designs
are not compromised.
12.3 INTERFACES
Corrosion control will be interfaced and coordinated with other engineering disciplines and
designs, including the utility, mechanical, civil, structural, electrical, trackwork, traction
electrification, environmental, geotechnical, architectural, signals, communications, and safety
and security designs.
12.4 APPLICABILITY OF CRITERIA
Since the Wave Streetcar project may be designed and constructed in segments, corrosion
control criteria will be applicable throughout the design, installation, and start-up process of all
segments.
12.5 EXPANSION CAPABILITY
Corrosion control systems will be easily expandable to the entire system without major
reconfiguration, reconstruction, redundancy, and duplication of equipment. Experimental
designs, equipment, and prototypes of a research nature are discouraged and must be
reviewed and approved by the Engineer prior to their implementation and prior to incurring any
costs.
12.6 STANDARDS AND CODES
12.7 Corrosion control requirements will be coordinated with all
applicable engineering disciplines, and the standards and codes
requirements referenced in Chapter 1, General.SPECIAL DESIGN

PROVISIONS
During the design phase of the Project, the corrosion control Design-Build Firm will identify
unique and special design cases such as existing building foundations, parallel power lines, and
unusual soil conditions. In these cases, the corrosion control Design-Build Firm will evaluate
and recommend special design measures as appropriate.
12.8 STRAY CURRENT CORROSION PREVENTION
12.8.1
Purpose
The purpose of this section is to provide criteria for designs to minimize the corrosion impact of
stray currents from the transit system which would impact transit system structures and adjacent
structures. By the application of the appropriate design criteria, the magnitude of stray currents
can be reduced to such low levels that their corrosive effect on buried structures is negligible.
The basic requirements for stray current control are as follows:
1. Under normal conditions, operate the transit system without direct or indirect electrical
connections between both the positive or negative traction power distribution circuits and ground.
2. Traction power and the trackwork will be designed to minimize stray currents during normal
revenue operations.
12.8.2
Scope
Structures and systems that may be affected by stray currents will be identified. Typically these
include, but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
Trackwork components;
Traction electrification system components;
Metallic pipes and casings; and
Reinforced concrete structures.
Designs will be coordinated with the outside agencies through the Department.
12.9 STRAY CURRENT CORROSION PREVENTION SYSTEMS
The design of stray current corrosion prevention systems will be based on results of model
studies. The studies will predict the magnitude of anticipated stray currents considering the
variation of key parameters, including:
12.9.1
Traction Power Substations
The traction power distribution system will be separated into two electrically isolated sections:
the mainline and shop. Traction power substations will be spaced at intervals such that track-toearth potentials along the mainline will be within safe operating levels.
Substations will be provided with access to the DC negative bus for stray current monitoring,
utilizing corrosion control junction boxes. The location of these boxes will provide ready access
for maintenance personnel.

Positive Distribution System
1. Resistance-to-Earth Criteria: The positive distribution system will be normally operated as an
electrically continuous bus, with no breaks, except for sectionalizing and during emergency or
fault conditions. Intentional electrical segregation of mainline, yard, and shop positive distribution
systems is also required.
2. Electrical Ground Connections, Overhead Contact System (OCS) Support Poles: For
locations other than at aerial structures, electrical ground facilities for adjacent OCS support
poles will not be interconnected. This will eliminate the possible transference of stray earth
currents, from one portion of the transit system to another, because of an electrically
continuous ground system.
Where OCS poles are to be located on aerial structures, provision will be made to interconnect
these electrically and connect them to a ground electrode.
12.9.1.2
Negative Distribution System
1. General: The following industry-accepted standards will be included in designs to afford an
electrically isolated rail system to control stray current at the source.

Cross-bonding cables installed between the rails to maintain equal potentials on all rails;
Insulation of switch machines at the switch rods;
Rail insulating joints installed prior to bumping posts; and
Rail insulators to electrically isolate the main line rails from freight sidings or connections
to other rail systems.
2. Resistance-to-Earth Criteria: The mainline running rails, including special trackwork and all
ancillary system connections will be designed to have the following desirable in-service
resistance per 1,000 feet of track (2 rails).
•

actual location of insulating joints will be placed such that parked vehicles will not electrically
short the shop and yard separate traction electrification systems for periods of time longer than
that required to move a vehicle in or out of the shop.

buried metallic pipes and conduits, will be provided with electrical continuity. Pressure piping
that penetrates structural walls will be electrically insulated from the outside service piping and
from wall reinforcing through the use of insulating wall sleeves. Dielectric isolation will be made
on the interior of the structural wall.

13 SIGNAL AND ROUTE CONTROL
13.1 GENERAL
This Section identifies requirements for the train control system that includes, but is not limited
to, streetcar location detection, signaling and route controls, drawbridge interface, train-towayside communications (TWC), traffic signal interfaces and associated interfaces with other
operational systems. Streetcar movements shall be controlled by traffic signal controllers in the
mixed traffic area. Train control system shall be used in areas of exclusive right of way, train
only movements or special situations as described later.
13.2 APPLICABLE CODES AND STANDARDS
Signal and Route Control design will be in accordance with the Codes and Standards described
in Chapter 1, General.,
While the streetcar system is not a part of the national railroad system, and is therefore
generally not subject to the oversight of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA); the rules and regulations of the FRA, the recommended
practices of the AREMA, and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) will
serve as additional non-mandatory guidelines where applicable.
Vital train control interface with the New River Drawbridge control system and warning devices
shall comply with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and Federal Highway Administration’s
(FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
13.3 FUNCTIONAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
The streetcar train-to-wayside control system will use transit-proven, off-the-shelf standard
equipment and components, to the greatest extent possible, to provide the highest levels of
reliability, maintainability and safety performance for both streetcar and street traffic. The
system will be compatible with the communications transmission system, the traction power
distribution system, the streetcar vehicles, and any other communications systems that may be
present. The system will provide the flexibility for future upgrades, and will consist of systems
proven safe and reliable in the designed environment.
All equipment (vehicle and wayside) will be proven to operate in climate conditions similar to or
more severe than those found in Fort Lauderdale.
13.4 OPERATIONAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
The streetcar train-to-wayside communications system will interface with existing and new street
traffic signal controllers and be capable of activating all power track switch machines.
The train-to-wayside communication (TWC) system will have provision for the manual entry of
codes for pre-determined routes. The train-to-wayside system will then proceed to automatically
activate and set wayside powered track switch machines as appropriate for the route when the
powered switch is clear of other rail vehicles. Individual manual switch control or override
capability will also be provided.

Transit Requirements
TWC loops will be provided between the rails at those locations where vehicle control of
wayside devices is required. These loops will provide input to wayside controllers that will
interpret vehicle commands and perform designated wayside functions, such as throw switches,
interface to traffic signal controllers, activate separate warning signs and signals, and interface
to railroad crossing equipment with the New River Drawbridge control system and warning
devices.
When using TWC for control of powered switches, other interlocking methods such as mass
detectors or track circuits will be used to detect the presence of a streetcar in the vicinity of the
switch to prevent the actuation of a switch when a streetcar is passing through the switch or for
the presence of a streetcar in the approach and/ or on the bridge deck sections.
Streetcar movement shall be controlled by wayside bar signals mounted on either overhead
mast arms, OCS poles in the median or curbside, or separate mast mounted poles.
Bar signals along the route will be controlled by the traffic signal controller located at each
signalized intersection depending on streetcar movements. The bar signal shall allow controlled
movement of transit vehicles to proceed safely through the intersection. The traffic signal
controller shall determine when the vehicle requires priority.
Movement of traffic and pedestrians will be controlled at standard, signalized intersections. The
Design-Build Firm shall provide for detection devices (video, inductive loop, or transducer type
detectors) for the traffic signal controller. The TWC system will interface with the traffic control
system through a dry contact closure and be the principle method of interface between the
traffic controller and signaling system for detection and actuation of the necessary exclusive
streetcar signaling. This should be coordinated and discussed with Broward County Traffic
Engineering as to the methodology.
13.5 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
The TWC system will be designed to operate in the electromagnetic environment of the
Streetcar System, while causing the minimum possible interference to other systems. The
equipment will be designed, selected and installed with consideration given to the
electromagnetic environment, which includes the traction power supply, DC power distribution
systems, vehicle propulsion and other on-board electrical/ electronic systems, communication
systems, adjacent railroads, industrial facilities, and electric utility lines.
All portions of the train-to-wayside communications system and its components will be designed
to operate in the electromagnetic environment that will exist in the vicinity at the time of
construction. No portion of the signal system will suffer from, or contribute to harmful
electromagnetic interference that is conducted, radiated, or induced.
13.6 GROWTH AND EXPANSION
The train-to-wayside communications system will be expandable for use on future routes or
extensions with only minor modifications.

by the train-to-wayside communication system and equipped with occupancy, point locking, and
point detection.
Streetcar signals similar to those found at controlled intersections will be provided to indicate the
route setting (position) of the power switch. These signals will be interlocked with the switch
locking and point detection circuitry such that they will illuminate only when the switch is
properly positioned and locked. These signals may be illuminated by the traffic signal controller
when appropriate for streetcar movement, depending on location.
Where normal train movements are facing the switch points, indicators to display the switch
position (i.e., normal or reverse; straight or diverge/ turn) will be provided at or near the switch
for the Train Operator’s information. These are in addition to the streetcar intersection signals
described below.
13.8 TRAFFIC SIGNAL INTERFACE AND STREETCAR SIGNALS
13.8.1
Mixed Traffic (Standard Traffic Signals)
Where the streetcar operates in mixed traffic, streetcar movements will be controlled by the
traffic signal system. Where switches need to be controlled for routing streetcars onto and off a
particular streetcar route, a TWC system including Bar Signals will be provided. Train Control
system shall be provided in areas relating to train only movement.
13.8.2
Street Car Routes (Bar Signals)
Special twelve inch bar signal indicators for use by the streetcar operator will be provided, both

special signal indicators will be controlled and operated by the traffic signal controller. Special
signal indications will comply with Part 10 of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) to avoid confusion between rail and road traffic signals. Special signal phases will be
provided by the traffic signal controllers and will be called via TWC requests.
To achieve this, these display indicators will be conveyed by illuminated shapes. The illuminator
will be steady, except that the aspect will begin to flash prior to changing to “go” indication and
during the change “clearance” interval when used with traffic signal control. The illumination
shall be provided by light emitting diode (LED) technology. The "Stop" indication will be
conveyed by a white rectangular bar in a horizontal position (0o). In most cases, the streetcar
signal indication will have two aspects. “Proceed straight” will be conveyed by a white
rectangular bar in a vertical position (90°) for a straight move. At locations where multiple turns
are allowed and connected to a track switch, the streetcar signal indication will have three
aspects. “Proceed turn” will be conveyed by a white slanted bar at a 45° angle for a turning
move. For a left turn the bar will be slanted such that the top of the bar is pointing to the left. For
a right turn the bar will be slanted such that the top of the bar is pointing to the right.Streetcar
and Vehicular Warning Signs
Special illuminated backlit signs shall be provided for warning of streetcar operators and
vehicular traffic at locations where considered necessary. These signs will be automatically
activated when the warning message is required.

Each MFVM shall be equipped with a removable coin vault having a capacity of at least 300
cubic inches. The coin vault shall function as an end collection container for coins. Coins shall
enter the coin vault through an opening in the coin vault. Using sensors or other means, the
MFVM shall confirm the passage of all coins to the coin vault; failure to detect a coin being
deposited into the coin vault shall be considered a jam and shall cause the MFVM to cease
accepting coins.
It shall not be possible to open the coin vault while it is installed in the MFVM, nor shall it be
possible to install an open or unlocked coin vault into the MFVM.
When properly installed in the MFVM, it shall be impossible to access coins in the coin vault
without damaging the vault in an obvious manner.
The coin vault shall be designed and constructed as a safe box of sturdy construction,
manufactured from hardened steel or steel alloy of similar strength and shall withstand regular
removal, replacement and normal handling without deformation or in any way interfering with
the insertion and removal process.
When a full coin vault (containing no less than 250 cubic inches of mixed US coins) is dropped
from a height of three feet onto a concrete floor on any corner or side, the vault shall remain
fully operational, shall suffer no more than cosmetic damage, shall not open, nor shall its
locking mechanism be impaired.

A series of programmable parameters shall allow the MFVM to limit the amount of change
dispensed in the event that surplus cash is deposited for the selected fare.
15.2.8.6
Coin Jams
In the event a foreign object or coin, slug, bent coin, or a coin having a sticky substance on
it becomes jammed inside the coin acceptor, a coin release mechanism shall cause the
jammed coin(s) to be released into the Ticket/Coin Return Bin. While the MFVM is in service,
activation of the cancel push button shall cause the coin release mechanism to activate (either
directly via mechanical means or indirectly via electronic means).
When the coin system detects a jam in the coin acceptor, the coin release mechanism shall be
automatically activated. At no time shall the coin entry slot open to accept an additional coin if
another coin is already jammed in the coin system.
It shall be possible for maintenance and revenue service personnel to gain quick access to the
jam to remove any jammed object if activation of the cancel push button does not clear the jam.
15.2.9
Supplemental Change Dispensing System
Multi-Function Vending Machines shall provide flexible change-making capabilities to address
current and future fare structures. The ability of the MFVM to dispense change shall not be
limited to change that may be available from inserted coins. In addition to using coins inserted

The Bill Processing Unit shall include a bill validator, bill escrow module, bill vault, and a chassis
and its associated wiring and electronic devices.
15.2.10.1
Bill Validator
The bill validator shall accept one bill or coupon at a time and shall determine the denomination
and validity of the document. If the document is acceptable, the bill validator shall forward it to
the escrow module. If rejected, the document shall be returned and gripped so that the MFVM
retains a hold on it until the patron removes the document from the bill validator slot.
The bill validator shall be designed to reject or expel pieces of paper or other foreign material
that can be introduced into the bill slot. A motorized conveyor shall pull the bill into the insertion
slot once its leading edge is inserted in the slot. A mechanical blocking function shall be
provided to prevent withdrawal of a bill after acceptance.
It shall be possible for maintenance and revenue service personnel to gain ready access to the
bill path to clear jams.
The MFVM shall be configurable by SFRTA to inhibit the acceptance of any denomination and
insertion orientation; as delivered, the MFVMs shall accept $1, $5, $10, $20, and $50 bills and
one SFRTA coupon. As the US Treasury releases new designs of bills, the Bill Processing Unit
shall be capable of being programmed to accept the new designs while continuing to accept the
current designs.
Except when bills are jammed, when the bill validator is removed from the MFVM, it shall not be
possible to retrieve or extract bills from the bill vault.
15.2.10.2
Bill Acceptance/Rejection Criteria
The bill validator shall determine the denomination and validity of both sides of a document by
dimension checks and pattern and color recognition. The bill validator shall be able to detect
counterfeit bills, including copies made in either single or double-sided printing on an electronic
copier and those made with color printers.
Document verification shall be consistent and repeatable. The bill validator shall be adjustable
to differences in bills in circulation due to bill production and printing variances. The bill validator
shall be adaptable to reject fraudulent currency that may be introduced to circulation.
15.2.10.3

restrict access to monies on a “need to gain access” basis defined in Section 15.4. A
security interlock in the MFVM shall ensure that bills shall leave the escrow module for transfer
into the bill vault only when a bona fide bill vault and escrow module are inserted fully in their
proper operating positions. The bill vault shall be installable only in their proper locations and
orientations, and concealed, tamperproof sensors shall detect when each module has been
properly installed. The bill vault shall be locked into the MFVM in such a manner that it shall
not interfere with fingertip maintenance of the bill validator.
The bill vault shall be self-locking and self-sealing, so that when it is removed from the MFVM, it
cannot be opened locally or re-inserted in the MFVM without emptying the contents of the vault
through authorized means. Access to bills shall not be possible at any time during maintenance
or revenue transfer operations, but shall only be accessible by controlled-key lock.
Each bill vault shall have a visually and electronically readable component code and serial
number. The MFVM shall automatically read and identify as valid the component code and
serial number of each inserted bill vault. This information shall be made available in both local
and remote mode. The MFVM shall read the electronically readable component code at a
frequency fast enough to ensure that the bill vault cannot be exchanged without the MFVM
detecting its removal. The electronically readable component code and serial number shall not

16 STREETCAR STATION STOPS
This chapter describes the criteria for the design of the station stops for the Wave Streetcar
project.
16.1 STREETCAR STOP DESIGN
The layout and design of a streetcar stations stop will be dependent upon a number of factors
including the:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Dimensions and configuration of the streetcar vehicle;
Location of the stop with respect to an intersection;
Availability of space (including sidewalk) behind the street curb;
Presence of a historic resource as identified through coordination with the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO);
Type of shelter to be provided at a stop;
Presence or absence of on-street parking at the site of the stop;
Input from project Partners and stakeholders;
Public involvement; and
Codes, regulations, and standards, including but not limited to:
-
16.1.1
Americans with Disability Act (ADA) Title II Regulations (Title II), American with
Disabilities Act Title III Regulations (Title III), and ADA Accessibility Guidelines
for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG);
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 49 CFR Part 38 – Accessibility
Specifications for Transportation Vehicles;
Uniform Building Code;
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards (NFPA 130, NFPA 72,
NFPA 70, and NFPA 101); and
Federal/ local/ state codes and regulations.
Stop Platform Configuration and Location
The Wave Streetcar station stops will be either center or side platform type. A center stop will be
situated within the median and/ or center turning lane of the street between travel lanes, and will
serve passengers travelling in either direction of the streetcar route; a side stop will be located
adjacent to existing curb/ sidewalk and will serve passengers traveling one direction only. The
center stops will normally be located in such a manner that access will be from a crosswalk at
an intersection or mid-block pedestrian crossing.
The side stops will normally be located at an intersection and will be accessed at either end of
the stop from or near an existing sidewalk. Exceptions to this would be when site constraints
allow for only a single access to the platform, in which case that entrance will normally be from a
point on the sidewalk nearest to the intersection of the street. Side stops should be located to

17 SAFETY AND SECURITY
17.1 General Requirements
The modern streetcar design shall address system elements according to the requirements of
the applicable standards listed. Should any standard or requirement conflict with another, the
most stringent standard shall apply. The purpose of this chapter is to establish the safety and
security standards for the design of all elements of the Streetcar project. To ensure the safety
and security of the system and to resolve hazards and mitigate vulnerabilities on the project, the
Design-Build Firm shall comply with the current version of the Streetcar Project’s Safety and
Security Management Plan (SSMP), Safety and Security Certification Plan (SSCP), and after
revenue operations begin, with the State Safety Oversight (SSO) Agency-approved System
Safety Program Plan (SSPP) or Transit Agency Safety Plan (TASP) developed in compliance
with the SSO Agency Program Standard. These documents describe the process for approving
the design criteria, and for making changes to, or approving deviations from, the approved
design criteria.
Once these design criteria are approved, all changes to, or deviations from them, must go
through a formal review process, as described in the SSMP and detailed in the SSCP or Wave
Streetcar (Wave, hereafter) Administrative Procedures or Standard Operating Procedures. This
formal review process is needed to assure that all potential safety or security impacts of the
suggested criteria change, or deviation, have been adequately assessed and found acceptable
before it is approved. The Project Manager, Project Management Consultant, or Design
Engineer shall formally present recommended changes in, or deviations from, the manner
described in the Wave SSCP and Procedures manuals.
General requirements for the development and use of the safety and security design criteria are:
1. Standards, specifications, regulations, design handbooks, safety design checklists and other
sources of design guidance will be reviewed for pertinent safety and security design requirements
applicable to the system. The design shall establish criteria derived from all applicable
information. Some general system safety and security design requirements are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Identified hazards and vulnerabilities shall be eliminated or associated risk shall be
reduced through design, including material selection or substitution. When potentially
hazardous materials must be used, such materials selected shall pose the least risk
throughout the life cycle of the system.
Hazardous substances, components and operations shall be isolated from other
activities, areas, personnel and incompatible materials.
Equipment shall be located so that access during operations, servicing, maintenance,
repair or adjustment minimizes personnel exposure to hazards (e.g. hazardous
chemicals, high voltage, electromagnetic radiation, cutting edges or sharp points) and
threats.
Risk resulting from excessive environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, pressure,
noise, toxicity, acceleration and vibration) shall be minimized.
Risk resulting from human error in system operation and support shall be minimized
as part of the design effort.
Risk resulting from excessive vulnerability to threats (e.g. theft, vandalism, sabotage,
assault) shall be minimized as part of the deign effort.

Transit Requirements
In the case of risk from hazards and vulnerabilities that cannot be eliminated,
alternatives that will minimize such risk shall be considered (e.g., interlocks,
redundancy, fail safe design, system protection, fire suppression and other protective
measures, such as clothing, equipment, devices and procedures, fencing, lighting,
CCTV surveillance, alarm systems).
Power sources, controls and critical components of redundant subsystems shall be
protected by physical separation or shielding, or by other suitable methods mutually
agreeable to the design and the project team.
When alternate design approaches cannot eliminate the hazard or vulnerability,
safety and warning devices, and warning and cautionary notes shall be provided in
assembly, operations, maintenance and repair instructions, and distinctive markings
shall be provided on hazardous components, equipment, and facilities to ensure
personnel and equipment protection. These shall be standardized in accordance with
commonly accepted commercial practice or, if none exists, normal procedures.
Where no such common practice exists, the design shall propose the method or
methods to be used for review and approval. The design shall provide all warnings,
cautions, and distinctive markings proposed for review and comment.
2. Qualitative and quantitative analyses shall be performed, documented, and furnished as part of
the design process to ensure adequate consideration of safety and security. At a minimum, a
Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) and initial Threat and Vulnerability Assessment (TVA) shall
be conducted for the project, and additional HAs and TVAs may be conducted as the need
arises. The process for identification, assessment, and resolution of hazards is fully described in
the Wave Hazard Analysis (HA) Procedure, and the process for identifying and managing threats
and vulnerabilities is fully described in the Wave Threat and Vulnerability (TVA) Procedure. If the
recommended hazard resolutions or vulnerability mitigations conflict with the approved design
criteria, they will be evaluated through the same process as any other deviation from the
approved design criteria.
3. The Safety and Security Certifiable Items List (CIL) shall be used as the basis to develop design
modifications and operating and maintenance procedures to eliminate or control the hazards and
vulnerabilities. Approved resolutions of hazards or mitigations of vulnerabilities will be included
on the CIL and/or other documentation as described in the SSCP.
4. Safety and security information and procedures shall be developed for inclusion in instructions
and other publications. These shall include, but not be limited to, testing plans and procedures,
operational training, the book of operating rules, maintenance procedures, and standard
operating procedures (SOPs) that must also include emergency operating procedures.
17.1.1
Project Safety and Security Organization
The Project’s safety and security organization is described in the WAVE Streetcar SSMP and
detailed in support plans such as the SSCP. Refer to those plans for information on the Project
safety and security organization and individual and committee responsibilities.
17.2 System Safety and Security Criteria
The Wave design shall address system elements according to the requirements of the
applicable standards listed. Should any standard or requirement conflict, the most stringent
standard shall apply. Standards, specifications, regulations, design handbooks, safety and
security design checklists, and other sources of guidance shall be reviewed for pertinent safety
or security design requirements applicable to the system. The design shall establish criteria
derived from all applicable information. General safety criteria that shall be adopted are

Section 17.2.3. A listing of applicable codes and standards, as well as reference documents, is
found in Section Error! Reference source not found.4.
17.2.1
General Safety Criteria
These criteria for systems, fixed facilities, structural designs, and subsequent operational
procedures shall ensure that the system safety goals are implemented and documented through
all aspects of design development, construction, implementation, testing, operations, and
maintenance. General system safety criteria include:
1. Minimize exposure of personnel operating, maintaining, or repairing equipment to hazards such
as entrapment, chemical burns, electrical shock, cutting edges, sharp points, electromagnetic
radiation, or toxic atmospheres.
2. Emergency equipment/devices for public use shall be clearly identified and accessible.
Interlocks, cutouts, fittings, etc., shall be accessible through access panels, which shall be
secured to prevent tampering and vandalism.
3. Where failures could result in personal injury, major system damage, or inadvertent operation
of safety critical equipment, redundancy or fail-safe principles shall be incorporated into the
design.
4. Physical and functional interfaces between subsystems shall be analyzed. Those hazards
associated with interfaces shall be specifically identified as system integration hazards and
tracked for effective resolution.
5. There shall be no single-point failures in the system that can result in an unacceptable or
undesirable hazard condition.
6. If an unacceptable or undesirable hazard condition can be caused by combining multiple
incident failures, then the first failure shall be detected, and the system shall achieve a known
safe state before subsequent failures occur.
7. All safety critical elements in a vital system shall be designed and implemented with fail-safe
principles. Fail-safe principles shall be realized by designing the system to have intrinsically
safe failure characteristics or by designing the system with verifiable techniques that detect
potentially unsafe failures and ensure that the system reverts to a known safe state.
8. The following criteria shall be used, as a minimum, for implementing fail-safe functions and
vital circuits:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Component failures or loss of input signals shall not cause unsafe consequences and
shall not, when added to other failures, cause unsafe consequences.
Neither loss of electric power nor spikes in power delivery shall cause unsafe
consequences.
Any number of simultaneous component failures attributable to the same cause or
related causes shall not result in an unsafe condition.
The following criteria shall apply to electrical/electronic circuits:
Broken wires, damaged or dirty contacts, relays failing to respond when energized, or
loss of power shall not result in an unsafe condition.
The relays used in vital circuits shall conform to all applicable parts of the AREMA
Communications and Signals Manual of Recommended Practice, Section 6, Relays.
Circuitry components shall be considered able to fail in either the open or shorted
condition. It shall be assumed that multi-terminal devices can fail with any combination of
opens, shorts, or partial shorts between terminals. Protection shall be provided in the
event that any amplifier is subject to spurious oscillations at any frequency.

9. Where redundancy is used in a safety critical area, there shall be no single point of failure that
would result in the loss of safety protection. Redundant paths shall not contain a common
predominant failure mode.
10. Design shall include component interlocks wherever an out-of-sequence operation can cause
a hazard.
11. Suitable warning and caution notes in operating, assembly, maintenance and repair
instructions, and distinctive markings on hazardous components, equipment, or facilities for
personal protection, shall be provided.
12. Color-coding used for equipment and facilities shall be uniform.
13. Each design shall be evaluated for hazards to identify basic deficiencies, inherent hazards of
operation, safety critical malfunctions, maintenance hazards, human factors deficiencies,
environmental hazards procedural deficiencies, and for compliance with codes, standards,
and regulations. Written documentation of this evaluation shall be provided at the time final
design is accepted.
14. The system safety analysis shall include review of fixed facilities and structures for employee
access and maintenance safety.
15. Maintenance activities required to preserve or achieve risk levels shall be prescribed to the
Rail Operations Manager during the design phase. These maintenance activities shall be
minimized in both frequency and in complexity of their implementation. The personnel
qualifications required to adequately implement these activities shall also be identified.
16. Software faults shall not cause an unacceptable or undesirable hazard condition.
17. Unacceptable hazards shall be eliminated by design.
18. Hazardous substances, components and operations shall be isolated from other activities,
areas, personnel and incompatible materials.
19. Risk resulting from excessive environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, pressure, noise,
toxicity, acceleration, and vibration) shall be minimized.
17.2.2
General Security Criteria
System security shall be provided by a combination of procedures, subsystems and devices to
assure security of passengers, employees, equipment, and facilities. Operating procedures
shall be developed to maintain the fullest use of the security systems provided.
The system security goal is to provide transit system facilities and operations that minimize
threats to the employees, patrons, contractors, first responders, and the general public that
operate, maintain, construct, use or are in the vicinity of transit operations. To accommodate
this goal, engineering designs shall be reviewed to determine if threats and vulnerabilities have
been identified and eliminated, and minimized or controlled to an appropriate level throughout
the intended service life. Engineering designs must satisfy security design requirements
applicable to the individual systems and elements.
More detailed goals of the system security program include:
•
•
•
Design security into the Streetcar Project by using such concepts as Crime Prevention
through Environmental Design (CPTED), Situational Crime Prevention (SCP), and
security technology.
Incorporate security features into the designs to reduce threats and vulnerabilities, such
as: fencing, lighting, guard shacks, security office, gates, sensors or motion detectors,
burglar/intrusion alarm systems, closed circuit TV (CCTV), public address systems,
emergency telephones, silent alarm, card or controlled access.
Employ a continuing Threat and Vulnerability Assessment (TVA) process.

Use the Transportation Research Board Report Deterrence, Protection, and Preparation
as guidance throughout the design.
The security design shall incorporate the following mitigation strategies as an integral part of the
design process of new facilities:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Defensive layering: Defensive layering provides multiple levels of security in order to
slow or prevent an adversary’s access to a site.
Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles: One of the
primary aims of CPTED is to reduce the opportunity for specific crimes by creating an
environment that does not tolerate crime. It focuses on design techniques and use of a
particular space to deter crime with four basic elements: natural surveillance, natural
access control, territorial reinforcement, and maintenance. CPTED strategies include:
maximizing visibility of people, patron flow areas and building/structure areas; providing
adequate lighting and minimizing shadows; landscape plantings that maximize visibility;
gateway treatments; perimeter control; elimination of structural hiding places; and open
lines of sight.
Target hardening: Target hardening employs structural techniques to increase the ability
of a facility to minimize vulnerability to criminal activity. It might range from structure
techniques employed in facility design or construction to withstand an explosion while
minimizing the loss of life and property damage to employing graffiti or scratchiti guards
for protection of walls or glass to prevent marring or shattering.
Situational Crime Prevention (SCP) principles: SCP is closely related to CPTED. Its
premise is that the physical environment can be managed to produce desired behaviors
in those who enter a facility by such factors as assuring cleanliness, the type and
amount of staffing, and various operational and physical measures.
Physical security system elements: Physical security elements are intended to: 1) delay
an intruder to allow time to detect them, and 2) inform responders of a penetration of a
facility or protected area.
Passenger security: a Train-borne intercom system shall be provided for passengers to
notify the operator of any urgent incidents on board the vehicle. CCTV cameras shall be
provided at stations to fully cover the station and immediate area. Interior CCTV
cameras shall be provided on vehicles with coverage of the entire vehicle interior.
Exterior CCTV camera shall be provided on vehicle with coverage facing front, back, and
both vehicle sides.
Public security: In addition to application of CPTED design principles, public street areas
where the vehicles will pick up and discharge passengers should be deigned to enable
them to be maintained in a clean and secure manner. Station areas should be marked
and illuminated for maximum assurance of safety and security, and shelters designed to
minimize vandalism and graffiti.
Employee security: The operator shall be provided the capability of activating a "silent
alarm". Activation of this alarm shall alert the central control facility of a problem on the
train.
Facility Security: CCTV cameras shall be provided at the Maintenance and Storage
Facility, and in storage areas of high value equipment and parts. Fire and intrusion
alarm systems shall be provided to monitor critical facilities and equipment such as

Information and Information System Security: Sensitive data such as personal
identification information, procurement documents, and security information storage
systems must be fortified against unauthorized access. Additionally, contract
specifications will require contractors to establish a formal information protection
program and plan that meet federally-mandated Security Sensitive Information (SSI)
requirements and other requirements as set by the Streetcar System, including:
Compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations regarding the release of transit-related
SSI.
