EXHIBIT "A": PROJECT APPROACH
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing Cypress Avenue eastbound and westbound bridges over the Sacramento River
were constructed in 1949 and 1969, respectively. The existing 1000 feet long structures are
steel girder superstructure with eight spans of approximately 125 feet.
The older structure is riveted steel girder construction, and the newer structure is welded
steel girders. Each bridge currently carries two lanes of traffic with four foot outside
sidewalks and no significant shoulders.
The project will review the feasibility of widening to three 12 foot lanes in each direction,
with six foot shoulders and five foot sidewalks. This study will review the possibility of
the possibility of widening the existing structures to provide the required traveled way,
shoulders, and sidewalks, or the need to replace the entire bridge, or portions thereof, to
obtain these lanes.
o Structure Considerations
The key structural consideration for this project will be the ability to utilize
the existing piers. The hollow piers appear vulnerable to seismic forces and
may require significant retrofitting. Any additional piling will require a
tremae seal within the river. Using the existing piers will minimize the
environmental impact as well as reducing cost.
Other structural considerations will include constructibility, aesthetics,
economics, and the remaining useful life due to corrosion and fatigue due to
cumulative truck loading for the last 45 years.
o Environmental Considerations
As described above, the primary environmental consideration will be the ability
to use existing piers and eliminate in-channel construction activity.
Additionally, there appears to be some environmentally sensitive areas
(possible jurisdictional wetland, habitat) adjacent to the existing eastern
abutment; bridge approach fills may impact these areas. This project will not
include environmental documentation, biological studies, or record searches,
but will include discussion regarding observed areas that may be of some
concern.
o Traffic Considerations
The City of Redding wishes to maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction at
all times during construction. Our review will include feasibility of shifting
lanes with reduced widths, versus specifying work periods for lane closure. By
utilizing strategic construction methods the impact on traffic and lane closure
can be reduced significantly. This work will require close coordination with
City staff for review of traffic counts and identification of possible work
periods where lane closure would not adversely impact traffic.
o Geometric Considerations
The bridge widening must be coordinated with widening of the roadway
approaches; if there are limitations for roadway widening near the bridge, the
Exhibit "A" Page 1
options for bridge widening will be limited as well. In particular, the north
side of Cypress Avenue between Hartnell Road and the eastern abutments is
limited by an existing office building. The building will be field located, and
will serve as a limit to widening on the north side.
The roadway alignment must also be coordinated with the Hartnell
Intersection and with future widening to the west of the bridge. A condition
of federal funding for this project will be that the project have independent
utility and be a complete project; the widening must be planned from the
existing 6 lane section east of Hartnell to S.R. 273.
o Geotechnical Considerations
The key geotechnical consideration for this project will be to establish actual
load carrying capacities of the existing pile foundations for the piers. Our
review will include the feasibility of using the existing piers to accommodate
the additional loads from the widening.
o Hydrology/Hydraulic Considerations
A Hydrology/Hydraulic Evaluation will be prepared to assess any impacts the
project may have on the 100 year water surface elevation, and to confirm that
the widening will not adversely affect the ability of the existing structure to
pass design floods.
o Hazardous Wastes
We are not proposing to include investigation for hazardous waste (i.e. Initial
Site Assessment) at this time. However, our roadway plans will acknowledge
that on the south side of Cypress Avenue, immediately east of the bridge, are a
gasoline service station and a transmission repair facility, both of which could
have contamination. Any roadway widening in the area should be planned
carefully to avoid these sites, if possible.
SCOPE OF WORK
This project will entail a staged approach to evaluation of the bridge widening. The
purpose of this approach is to develop the structure alternatives interactively with City
and Caltrans, as well as with the Geotechnical, Traffic, and Civil Support members of the
team. The purposes of this approach are (1) to develop a consensus for the reasonableness
of the solutions, (2) to respect other considerations that may impact structural decisions,
and (3) take advantage of the wealth of knowledge of the project team. The specific work
tasks, which are somewhat different than as described in the Request for Proposal, are
described as follows:
Task 1: Evaluate Existing Structures
The purpose of this task is to gather any available existing plans, reports, and
correspondence, review the bridge in detail, and determine and deficiencies or
discrepancies between record information and field conditions.
1.1 Data Collection
Mark Thomas & Co. Inc. has already obtained As-builts and inspection records
Exhibit "A" Page 2
for the bridges. Additional information will be obtained such as maintenance
records, roadway As-builts, utility mapping (especially waterline details near
the western abutment), and related Caltrans project correspondence.
1.2 Site Visit
MT&Co staff, with the project team, will visit the project site for an initial
field review. MT&Co staff will also conduct a detailed structure review at the
same time, which will include access from the top of piers under the bridge
decks to review general condition of girders, underside of deck slab, cross
bracing, bearings, piers, and utility supports. The structure elements will also
be reviewed for general conformance to As-built plans, with appropriate
notations made.
The existing bridge decks will be reviewed for general condition, cracking,
spalling, and surface wearing. Based on our initial site visit in preparing this
proposal, the girders and underside of the decks appeared to be in good
condition, and the cracking on the surface appeared to be temperature related
and probably not a structural concern. The cracking will be reviewed with the
project team in more detail, however. The deck condition may be assessed
(mainly for voids and deterioration) by dragging chain on the deck.
We do not anticipate underwater inspections, geotechnical exploration, X-ray
inspection, or materials testing of the existing bridge.
1.3 Field Surveys
Del Terra will perform limited field surveys, primarily to define bridge
location at the abutments, locate the existing building on the north side of
Cypress Avenue at Hartnell, define required fills at structure approaches, and
locate major utility facilities.
1.4 Prepare Records of Visit
MT&Co will compile photographic records of the visit, plus videotape of the
existing structure.
Task 2: Foundation Evaluation
The purpose of this task is to review the adequacy of existing foundations to accept
additional loads imposed by structure widening and current seismic engineering
practice.
2.1 Background Information
The downstream bridge was constructed in 1947, upstream in 1969. "As-built"
plans are available for both structures, including boring data made for the
upstream crossing and some information on pile installation. Additional
information that may be available and pertinent could include construction,
maintenance and bridge inspection reports from Caltrans and City files.
For the downstream bridge, base of tremie seal for pier footings is shown on
as-built plans at elev. 435±; average tip elevation of 10BP42 piling is about elev.
422±. Presumptive pile loading for this structure is 37 tons. The as-built plans
Exhibit "A" Page 3
indicate average tip elevations, but do not include any boring logs or pile
driving logs.
For the upstream bridge, base of tremie seal for pier footings was specified at
10-f t below ground surface -- at and above elev. 440±; 10BP42 steel piling was
specified to penetrate to elev. 425 and to have 45 ton formula bearing at final
penetration. Borings were made by Caltrans in 1957 for use in design of the
second (upstream) bridge and as-built plans include driving logs of selected
piles. No borings have been made in the channel for the 600± from Pier-2 to
Pier-6 and greatest boring penetration was to elev. 436, more than 10-ft above
specified pile tip elevation. Construction reports indicate that piles for this
structure were reinforced at the tip owing to very difficult driving in coarse
alluvium.
2.1 Provide recommendations/"Design Criteria"
Initial evaluation of existing bridge foundations will be based on review of
available documents and a review of surface exposures and site conditions.
Preliminary review of as-built plans and foundation data from Caltrans
foundation section files indicates significant gaps in data for present study
purposes, i.e. borings do not penetrate to or below pile tip elevations, there is a
large horizontal gap between borings and construction data for the 1948 bridge
may be very sparse. Additionally, we do not know of data on current or
projected scour around the existing piers.
The report of initial study evaluation will summarize what is known about
existing foundations and conditions, discuss uncertainties in available
information and evaluate existing foundation capacity and condition. The
report will also incorporate a discussion of anticipated criteria for new
foundation construction.
2.3 Subsurface Investigation
The need for supplemental subsurface investigation will be evaluated based on
results of initial study by this office and others. It is assumed that this
investigation will be required.
For evaluation purposes, information on subsurface materials and conditions --
particularly existing scour and bearing materials -- is expected to be obtained
y means of two sampled test borings to 40-50± ground penetration,
supplemented by two shorter identification and/or selectively sampled borings.
Borings would be located immediately adjacent to at least two of the existing
downstream pier footings.
Borings are visualized as being made from existing bridge deck (although
over-water barge work could be technically feasible) requiring a lane closure
and, probably, weekend or restricted (perhaps nighttime) working hours.
Borings would be made by rotary drilling method, using casing to control and
re-circulate drill fluid to a "mud tank" on the deck. Such operations will
require coordination with the City and a Fish and Game permit.
For subsurface study, laboratory testing would be expected to be limited to
moisture content-dry density, unconfined compressive strength and grain size
determinations. The written report will include the results of field and
Exhibit "A" Page 4
laboratory soils testing, a Log of Test Borings drawing and will address issues
of existing foundation security and bearing conditions/capacity as well as
providing a basis for preliminary evaluation of foundation criteria for new
structure.
No hazardous materials are evident or indicated to be present at the site. If
hazardous materials are encountered during field exploration, the client and
the City will be notified and a modified scope of services may be required.
Task 3: Identify Rehabilitation/Widening Strategies
The purpose of this task is to brainstorm alternative methods for widening the
existing bridge, plus reasonable scenarios for superstructure replacement, for
evaluation of alternatives.
3.1 Evaluate existing footings
MT&Co will review the existing foundation loading (live and dead loads)
versus the preliminary design criteria developed by Taber. MT&Co will then
identify the additional loading imposed by widening plus any required
adjustments for seismic loading; if the loading is slightly excessive, the design
will be reviewed (lane widths, shoulder widths, sidewalk locations, etc.) to see if
loads can be reduced to an acceptable level so that the existing piers can be
used.
If the existing or additional loads are excessive, and additional piers or footing
retrofits are required, the City and Caltrans will be notified immediately, so
that strategy for further study can be refined.
3.2 Evaluate outside widening versus combination median/outside widening
One option envisioned by City staff for this widening would be to deck the
median between the existing bridges, iri addition to outside widening. This
section would be relatively compact, provide for smooth transitions from
roadway approaches to the bridge, and eliminate barrier/guard rail transitions
at the abutments. However, there are some potential disadvantages as well: (1)
the traffic volumes for a six lane roadway will probably meet AASHTO
requirements for a raised median, (2) provision of a raised median will require
an additional two foot "shyaway" for the inside lanes (reducing the amount of
lane width obtained with the median deck), and (3) the additional cost of the
"median girder" may offset any deck savings in deck width from outside
widening.
During this stage, MT&Co would review the possibility of leaving the median
gap as is', except that the existing railings would be replaced with current
standard barriers. Because only two new girders would be required (rather
than three as above), this option may be less expensive to construct. However,
wider girder spacing will require thicker decks, adding to the dead load of the
piers which are vulnerable. Other potential disadvantages of this alternative
would be (1) additional expense for loner bent caps, (2) possible additional
eccentric loading on piers, and (3) more difficult roadway approach transitions,
including guard rail/barrier transitions in the median.
3.3 Prepare alternatives for widening and rehabilitation
Exhibit "A" Page 5
Besides the options for widening entirely outside versus a combination of
outside and median widening there are alternative structure treatments as
well. In developing these alternatives there are two main structural concerns.
a) The portion of the existing structure that is retained, along with all it's
components, should be able to withstand the maximum credible
earthquake without any major collapse - limited damage is acceptable.
b) The additional service loads, dead and live, from the widening are to be
transferred from the new girders to the foundation without overstress.
Two preliminary alternatives for the load transfer have been identified - both
involve a new pier cap spanning the two existing pier walls and cantilevering
out on each side. The alternatives would include a reinforced concrete pier cap
and a structural steel cap.
If the various alternatives reviewed overload the existing foundation, the
existing heavy concrete decks can be replaced with a lightweight concrete deck,
thereby reducing the deck dead load by approximately 3001o.
The reinforcing details in the hollow pier walls do not meet current seismic
standards - thus, either the pier walls should be upgraded or the seismic loads
transferred to the pier wall should be minimized. MT&Co proposes to do the
latter by replacing the existing rocker bearings (which will probably need to be
replaced anyway) with special PTFE (teflon) bearings which are basically low
friction, sliding bearings. The bearing replacement can be done without any
temporary support by using stay-in-place flatjacks. This will also expedite the
construction process. MT&Co has recently retrofitted a similar bridge across
Santa Ana River using these bearings.
3.4 Prepare Report of Preliminary Findings
The alternatives described above, and additional alternatives if appropriate,
would be summarized in a letter-type report with a matrix analysis of the
various advantages and disadvantages of each. The alternatives would be
compared in general terms as to relative cost, construction methods,
environmental impact, traffic impact, approach roadway alignment, and
aesthetics. With only the various combinations of options described above for
median-outside vs. ouside only widening, concrete pier cap vs. structural steel
pier cap, and deck replacement vs. no deck replacement, there are potentially
eight different alternatives for this project. The intent of this phase of work is
to narrow options to the two or three most promising alternatives.
The various options would be compared with a decision matrix, similar to the
following comparison of pier cap alternatives:
Item: Concrete Cap Steel Cap
1. Foundation heavier, could be problem lighter, better
2. Construction:
fabrication- formwork difficult pre-fabricated
Exhibit "A" Page 6
installation- easier to fit in field fitting more difficult
time reqd.- longer quicker
3. Aesthetics: OK good
4. Maintenance: lower costs more maintenance
5. Useful Life: longevity not a problem welds may fatigue
3.5 Preliminary Meeting with City and Caltrans
After preparation of the report on alternatives, these alternatives would be
reviewed with the Project Development Team. Refinements and changes could
be made through type selection or strategy meeting, as required. The intent
of the meeting is assure the City and Caltrans that the alternatives are feasible,
and that MT&Co will proceed only on the most reasonable alternatives.
Task 4: Civil Engineering/Traffic Management
The purpose of this task is to define how traffic will be accommodated in the short
term and long term, including the anticipated level of service at adjacent
intersections.
4.1 Data Collection
Data collection for this phase will include roadway As-builts, including
Hartnell signal plans, plus related traffic information (24 hour traffic counts,
City-wide traffic model).
4.2 Lane Closure/Work Hour strategies
CCS Planning and Engineering, working with City staff, will use the traffic
counts versus assumed single lane capacity through the construction zone to
identify appropriate hours for lane closures. Construction activities will be
limited outside of these hours to activities not requiring lane closure.
Night construction is probably not a viable alternative, due to proximity of a
mobilehome park.
4.3 Cypress Avenue Planline
As described above, the road alignment should be reviewed to identify required
improvements for smooth approaches to the structure widening, and to provide
a complete project with logical termini (i.e. Hartnell to Route 273). it is
anticipated that a planline from Hartnell to the eastern abutment will be
prepared. On the western side of the bridge, a plan line from the bridge to a
"standard" cross section will be prepared, assuming a reduction in lane widths
west of Athens Avenue.
Additionally CCS will review intersection approach geometrics for level of
service, and determine appropriate lane configurations. For example, there are
two eastbound through lanes at Hartnell, plus a dedicated right turn lane;
Exhibit "A" Page 7
CCS will review the possibility of using the right turn lane as a mixed
through-right turn lane, which would eliminate the need to widen into the
gasoline station property.
Our review of the Cypress Planline will also include a discussion of possible
lane width reductions on the structure. Eleven foot wide lanes may be
appropriate (especially if required due to structure concerns), assuming
adequate offset to barriers and sidewalks. There has been talk within Caltrans
of reducing mandatory lane widths with metrification, with the new standard
of 3.5 meters (11.4 feet); AASHTO allows for 11 feet as well.
The review will also include a discussion of safety benefits/considerations of
widening in the median versus outside widening only. For example, leaving the
median as is will leave the awkward guard rail transitions at each end of the
bride, which can create a traffic hazard during icy conditions. Additionally,
median widening may provide a smoother transition at roadway approaches.
Bike lanes and sidewalk access must be maintained on both sides of the road,
for policy reasons as well as federal funding requirements. The bike lane
could be reduced to as little as 5 feet, if required.
4.4 Park Marina Drive Considerations
We are concerned about Park Marina Drive for several reasons. As mentioned
in the Request for Proposal, there is only 14 feet vertical clearance at the
eastbound structure, which will be reduced with structure widening. Options
include a reduction in structure depth for the widening girder, or
reconstruction/lowering of the roadway.
Reconstruction of a portion of Park Marina Drive may appear to be a severe
solution, but the City may wish to consider it for other reasons as well.
Currently, there is minimal sight distance for southbound traffic as they pass
the bridge abutment, and the line of sight will be lessened with the abutment
widening; this sight distance issue appeared to be a significant problem in our
observations because of the excessive speed of local traffic. Additionally, the
existing overhead pole and guy anchor in the median south of the bridge could
pose a safety hazard. Consequently, this project could be seen as an
opportunity to correct some potential safety hazards on Park Marina Drive in
addition to providing greater vertical clearance. in our study, we will review
these options for the City.
Task 5: Hydraulic Evaluation
The purpose of this task is similar to the traditional Hydrology Report prepared for
bridge design projects for Caltrans. The intent is to identify Hydrologic design
criteria, and address how the structure will accommodate the design flows. In this
case, there is an existing structure on a regulated channel; the flood flows are well
documented, and record flood data is also available with the existing structure in
place.
5.1 Data Collection
We propose to review available bridge maintenance records for historical
flooding (date and depth of flooding), any scour problems, or other indications
Exhibit "A" Page 8
of hydraulic capacity of the existing span. This review will also include field
surveys of the high water marks. This data will be reviewed with the Division
of Structures Hydraulics staff, and the work scope refined as appropriate.
5.2 Flood Summary
It is anticipated that a detailed backwater analysis will not be required.
MT&Co will review record flood data, plus available FEMA documentation.
The proposed design alternatives will then be evaluated for potential
encroachment into the base flood, or for a reduction in freeboard. Based on
review of record flooding elevations and structure elevations, as shown on the
As-builts, there is sufficient freeboard for widening as proposed, including bent
caps. This information will be summarized in a concise report including the
following information:
o Base Flood as determined from existing FEMA documentation and
Caltrans record information in the area.
o Other important items to be addressed qualitatively include minimum
required waterway (horizontal and vertical), drift potential, scour
potential, and impacts of bridge skew.
5.3 Water Quality Considerations
Additionally, the Hydraulic Evaluation will include a brief discussion for water
quality considerations during and immediately after construction, specifically
for erosion control and control of sediment from construction, staging, and
storage areas. The following information will be addressed:
o Topographic map with discharge points
o Site Map showing:
- Areas of soil disturbance
- Areas designated to store soils
o Discussion of possible methods for erosion control
- Silt fences
- Hydroseeding
Task 6: Develop Bridge Strategies
Based on input from Task 3, plus supplemental information on traffic and hydraulic
considerations, more detailed analysis of alternatives will be made. The intent of
the analysis is not to design the structure, members, or connections. Rather, the
intent is to define the proposed method for widening, rehabilitation, or replacement
in sufficient detail so that (1) a determination can be made as to the technical
feasibility can be made, and (2) a reliable construction cost estimate can be prepared.
6.1 Method of Analysis
The various options and preliminary alternatives discussed earlier will be
checked for feasibility from the non-structural perspective - roadway
alignment, right of way, environmental, utility, hydraulic, geotechincal and
even political to name a few. This will help us narrow the focus and
concentrate on only the reasonable alternatives. These alternatives will then
be developed further to the extent of approximate member sizing and design
Exhibit "A" Page 9
of some strategic connection details. THis will involve preliminary dead load
and live load analysis for each alternative using PCLINKS, a computer
program routinely used by Caltrans. The seismic analaysis will be perfomed
using SEISAB EI mic Analysis of Bridges)m which is particularly suited for
this structure. THese programs will allow a quick and reliable structural
analysis of the alternatives, and assist to identify the option and construction
methods that will address the City's concerns best. Following a construction
cost estimate an extensive comparison matrix will be prepared. The preferred
technical alternative(s) will then be recommended.
6.2 Alternative 1: Inside and Outside Widening
This alternative will minimize the out-to-out width of the bridges using three
additional steel guiders and modified pier caps.. The existing steel bearings are
vulnerable seismically and should be replaced with PTFE friction - controlled
sliding bearings. These bearings should be used for the new girders as well.
The pier cap modifications can be done without any long term lane closure.
Minimizing the out-to-out width of the two bridges should also minimize the
amount of pier and footing modification. Footing modifications, if necessary,
will require expensive tremae seal and involve construction under and around
the existing structure.
6.3 Alternative 2: Outside Widening
This alternative is our attempt to reduce the construction cost by using only
two rather than three girders. With a 2-foot barrier and 2-foot wide shy-way
lanes on both sides, the savings in deck width are not really significant.
However, this will result in larger over hangs for the pier cap and more
eccentric loading on the piles. Once again, if the existing piles are not capable
of handling the additional load - as may well be the case - expensive channel
work will need to be done. This alternative will also require the PTFE
bearings.
6.4 Alternative 3: Deck Replacement
This alternative envisions replacing the heavy concrete deck entirely with a
light-weight deck system. The construction will require closing one bridge at a
time. This alternative should be used as a last resort. PTFE bearings should be
used for this alternative as well to minimize the seismic loads transmitted to
the piers.
6.5 Construction Methods and Staging
For each alternative, a qualitative analysis will be made for cons tructibility.
This analysis will include discussion on anticipated type of construction
equipment, how that equipment will be used (i.e. access from existing bridge
deck, some from shore, etc.), and anticipated storage/staging areas.
Construction staging discussion will also be qualitative, and will incorporate
suggestions and discussions from Task 4 above for limitation of work hours.
Alternatives for construction barriers will be discussed, such as cones, K-rail,
barricade, or water-filled barriers. The intent of this section is to confirm that
there are feasible means to handle traffic, and to estimate what the reasonable
cost for those methods may be. We anticipate that final concepts for traffic
Exhibit "A" Page 10
0
handling would not be developed or approved until final design, after public
input is received.
6.6 Prepare Preliminary Findings
The alternatives, as developed above, would be summarized in a letter-type
report with a matrix analysis of the various advantages and disadvantages of
each, similar to the report in Task 3. Because more detailed knowledge would
be available, this report would be more definitive as the to technical feasibility
of the alternatives, with rough sizing and layout of design elements. The
alternatives would be compared in general terms as to relative cost,
construction methods, environmental impact, traffic impact, approach roadway
alignment, and aesthetics.
6.7 Strategy Meeting with Caltrans
After preparation of the report on alternatives, these findings would be
reviewed with the Project Development Team, hopefully with general
acceptance that the alternatives developed are feasible (again, no design is
expected to be performed at this stage). The intent of this meeting is to agree
on a strategy that can be used as a basis for cost estimates in Task 7.
Task 7: Preliminary Engineers Estimate
As described above, the purpose of this task will be to develop engineering estimates
for the replacement of the structure, plus two alternatives maximum for widening
the existing structure. These estimates will be prepared in accordance with State
and Federal guidelines to establish proposed project funding.
7.1 Upgrading/Widening Existing Structure
This task will consist of estimating the cost for widening the existing structure,
with the method(s) as agreed in Task 6.
7.2 Replacing Existing Structure
This task will consist of estimating the cost for partial or complete replacement
of the existing structure, with the method(s) as agreed in Task 6, including
salvaging and reuse of components where possible.
Task 8: Value Analysis
The purpose of this task is to evaluate and define as possible the long term economic
consequences of the alternatives. Specifically, the initial construction cost of
widening the existing structure will be significantly less, but the anticipated life span
may be less than that of a replacement structure. This task will assign a Present
Value to the various alternatives.
8.1 Estimate Useful Life
The useful life of the widened structure and the replacement structure will be
estimated and reviewed with Division of Structures staff. This step will be
complicated in that the useful life of the replacement structure may be limited
by any existing components reused in the replacement.
Exhibit "A" Page 11
•
8.2 Estimate Maintenance Costs
To the extent that maintenance or future rehabilitation costs are different
between alternatives, they should be quantified approximately; these life-cycle
costs would be included in the present value analysis.
8.3 Estimate Present Value
Using an agreed upon value for rate of interest, the Present Value of
construction costs plus long term maintenance would be estimated for the
various alternatives. Intangibles, such as differences in safety, cannot be
estimated.
Task 9: Feasibility Report
This report will summarize the study methods and findings, and recommend further
course of action. The previous reports submitted will form a basis for the final
Feasibility Report. The report will be submitted in a Draft and Final version, with
reduced plans included within the report. The Feasibility Report must answer the
following questions:
o Is the project Technically Feasible?
o Is the project Economically Feasible?
o Is the project Politically Feasible?
Specifically, we propose that the report address the following items:
1. Reason for Study
- Existing traffic considerations
- Projected Growth/traffic generation under General Plan
- Alternative routes
- Project priority (compared to others)
2. Alternatives Considered
- No project
- Replacement structure
- Widening existing structure, with alternatives
3. Other Technical Considerations
- Environmental Impact
- Traffic impact (long term and short term)
- Hydrologic/hydraulic concerns
- Constructibility
4. Economics
- Initial construction costs of project alternatives
- Life Cycle costs
- Proposed project funding, including amount and source of City obligation
Exhibit "A" Page 12
5. Recommendations for Project Implementation
- Preferred alternative
- Future work activities
- Geotechnical follow-up
- Anticipated Permitting
- Anticipated right of way acquisition
- Anticipated utility coordination/conflicts
