alternative analyses may require additional scope and fee. The results of the traffic analysis will be included as a contributing factor in the alternatives analysis (Task 1-4). Transpo will utilize available City data from 2019 or 2018 to avoid the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on current traffic counts. If needed turning movement counts, vehicle volumes or vehicle speed data are unavailable for a project segment or intersection, the Consultant will obtain the necessary traffic data. The Consultant will adjust any data collected in 2021 for the potential effects of the pandemic. Consultant Deliverables • Traffic analysis of three (3) corridor (multiple Segment) alternatives Task 1-4 — Alternatives Analysis Comparison of alternatives identified in Task 1-2 by several criteria, as described below, will provide the City and the public with a transparent process for identifying a preferred alternative to move into preliminary design. 1-4.1 Evaluation Criteria It is important to define the criteria by which the alternatives will be evaluated. Based on the project goals, identified at the kickoff meeting, and the stakeholder goals identified in Task 1-6, the Consultant will develop a list of evaluation criteria. These criteria will include a range of qualitative and quantitative elements and include total project cost. The evaluation criteria will be used to evaluate and compare alternatives and identify a preferred alternative in each project segment. 1-4.2 Evaluation of the Alternatives The range alternatives from Task 1-2 will be evaluated to help identify a preferred alternative. The alternatives evaluation will assist in understanding each potential solution and its advantages and disadvantages based on the evaluation criteria. The findings of the evaluation will be summarized in a matrix format to compare and contrast the various alternatives. A good portion of the cost -benefit evaluation is likely to be qualitative in nature, without specific costs developed for every impact or benefit. The results of the evaluation analyses will then be reviewed with the project team to obtain feedback and direction. Part of the evaluation of alternatives will be an assessment of the feasibility of implementation. Implementation concepts to be considered include: • Match between the vision of grant funding programs and the alternative • Timing and availability of grant funding programs • Potential for phasing and "early wins" projects that could be funded via local and/or other non- competitive sources • Drainage impacts (Osborn Consulting) • Landscape Architecture (Osborn Consulting) • Constructability review (KBA, Inc.) AcutanzaSTS (a DBE firm) will provide input on the evaluation of alternatives, and supplement the Consultant's assessment of alternatives in meeting the evaluation criteria, as described in the attachment to this Scope. 1-4.3 Selection of a Preferred Alternative After collating feedback from the project team, our team will work with City staff to identify a preferred alternative that best meets the project goals and the stakeholder goals. The preferred alternative will be the one that demonstrates the most adherence to the widest range of evaluation criteria. The preferred transpogroup Tr Page 5
