[CTPP] Question regarding CTPP Commuting in America IV RFP

by Weinberger

Hi all, A question came in regarding contracting language and teams with Universities vis a vis the RFP for Commuting in America IV. Below is the essence of the question and the answer. Penelope Question: As a state university, we are subject to certain statutory limits on things like insurance, indemnity, etc. We also must allow our students and faculty to publish freely so often we need minor tweaking of certain IP or Copyrights language. We are wondering how to address this at the proposal stage? Is it allowable to take any exceptions to RFP language at this stage? How should we address? Typically we have successfully negotiated compromise language, but there are instances of RFPs where no exceptions are allowed, but items can be addressed at negotiation stage, or there are the RFPs where the language must stand as is, no negotiation or changes allowed. Answer: In this case, items can be addressed at the post award negotiation stage. AASHTO is confidant that a workable solution for any team with a university can be achieved.

Re: [CTPP] does anyone know if there's a way to get the "names" of places with the data records using the DataFerrett

by Patty Becker

When I did a download from AFF2 last week, asking for "all MCDs in Oakland County" (a Michigan county), I got names.

by Nancy Reger

I see the names of the geographies, but the data just gives me the fips codes, is there a way to get the political names in a download? Nancy Reger, AICP Deputy Director, Transportation MORPC 111 Liberty St. Ste. 100 Columbus, Ohio 43215 nreger(a)morpc.org 614-233-4154

Re: [CTPP] does anyone know how to extract unincorporated townships from the ACS data?

by Patty Becker

Nancy, In Michigan, cities are legally separated from the townships out of which they may have been formed. Cities are both MCDs and Places. Villages are just Places, while townships are just MCDs, and MCD data include any villages (but not cities) that may be inside the townships. In the decennial census, there is a summary level that gives you villages within townships and township balances. That summary level (the number of which escapes me at the moment) does not appear to be on ACS-5 year. However, I think you can get the villages by themselves, and then you can subtract them from the townships they're in. If they span two townships, you're out of luck, except that you could proportion them based on the census data. Hope this helps.

[CTPP] does anyone know how to extract unincorporated townships from the ACS data?

by Nancy Reger

Usually I need to use a place fips AND a county subdivision fips code to get to the geography I need, and the unincorporated areas have a "99999" place code. But the ACS data doesn't include both of these in any summary level I can find and I can't figure out how to separate cities and villages that are inside townships from the unincorporated township parts- this might be a unique Ohio need. Has anyone been able to do this? Nancy Reger, AICP Deputy Director, Transportation MORPC 111 Liberty St. Ste. 100 Columbus, Ohio 43215 nreger(a)morpc.org 614-233-4154
