LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
The intent of the LEED Green Building Rating System is the promotion of the design,
construction and maintenance of buildings that are durable, healthy, affordable, and
environmentally sound. This is achieved through an approach that looks not only at the
building but also includes the surrounding area. Among the elements LEED includes are
access to public transportation, energy usage, daylighting and views, indoor air quality,
transportation, water usage, stormwater runoff, recycling, and renewable resources.
Prerequisites and credits are the two types of tasks required by LEED to rate a buildings
environmental impact. Prerequisites are mandatory and must be achieved for a building to
meet any certification level; however no points are earned for their completion. Points are
earned for each credit that is achieved with points varying from credit to credit. Not all
credits will be achievable due to external conditions while other credits will be too involved
or costly to pursue. This is where the design team and the FDOT must determine what
credits are to be pursued and the level of certification to strive to meet.
The State has set Certified as the minimum target level of certification for buildings,
though several Department projects have strived for a LEED Green Building Rating of
Silver.
Hours include the efforts to design and receive certification for buildings. These hours
include all disciplines involved in the effort.

32 NOISE BARRIERS IMPACT DESIGN ASSESSMENT IN THE DESIGN PHASE
The CONSULTANT shall fulfill the commitments resulting from the traffic noise analysis
and noise barrier evaluation performed during the Project Development and Environment
(PD&E) Phase, as directed and clarified by the DEPARTMENT.
The noise analysis shall be performed in accordance with the FDOTs Noise Policy (Part 2,
Chapter 17 of the FDOTs PD&E Manual) and the FDOTs Traffic Noise Modeling and
Analysis Guidelines. The noise analysis and noise abatement evaluation shall be performed
by or supervised/reviewed by a person(s) who has attended the Departments Traffic Noise
Analysis training course or has attended and successfully completed the National Highway
Institutes Highway Traffic Noise Course (FHWA-NHI-142051). The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) approved noise model, the Traffic Noise Model (TNM) Version 2.5
(or most current version) shall be used for the noise analysis, unless otherwise directed by
the DEPARTMENT.
32.1 Noise Analysis
The CONSULTANT shall review the preferred PD&E alternative to identify any design
changes that would require a reanalysis of traffic noise. Coordination will be held with the
District Environmental Management Office, prior to initiating any reanalysis, to discuss
possible effects of design changes on the validity of in the noise study performed during
PD&E.
The CONSULTANT shall perform a land use review to identify noise sensitive sites that
may have received a building permit subsequent to the PD&E noise study but prior to the
Date of Public Knowledge (DPK), or to identify areas where the land use may have changed
or is subject to change. New noise sensitive sites meeting DPK requirements that were not
considered during the PD&E phase will be subject to a traffic noise analysis to be performed
by the CONSULTANT. Additionally, noise sensitive sites analyzed in the PD&E phase may
have to be re-analyzed if affected by design changes.
The CONSULTANT shall review any commitments made during the PD&E phase regarding
possible traffic noise impacts to special use locations. Analysis of special use locations shall
be performed using the DEPARTMENTs A Method to Determine Reasonableness and
Feasibility of Noise Abatement at Special Use Locations document and shall be
coordinated with the District Environmental Management Office.
The CONSULTANT shall review the commitments made during the PD&E phase regarding
noise barrier concepts determined to be potentially feasible and reasonable. The
CONSULTANT will update the analysis of feasibility and reasonableness for noise barriers
recommended for further consideration during the design phase and for any additional noise
barriers required, using design information (e.g., profile data, horizontal alignment data, etc.)
and incorporate into the analysis any new conditions or additional costs related to noise
barrier construction that have been identified during design. A design phase noise analysis
will be performed at any additional locations required (based on DPK requirements or
roadway design changes). Additional survey may also be required at proposed barrier
locations.

A-122
STAGE I FPID(S): 999999-1-52-01
[DATE]
Changes to, or fulfillment of, the original noise abatement commitments made during PD&E
shall be documented in a Noise Study Report (NSR) Addendum to be prepared by the
CONSULTANT in coordination with the District Environmental Management Office. A
copy of the final NSR Addendum shall be provided to the District Environmental
Management Office.
Traffic Data: The CONSULTANT shall review the traffic data obtained during the PD&E
