• Exhibit A ENGINEERING.PLANNING.ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES SCOPE OF WORK City of Everett US 2/1-5 Interchange Planning Study INTRODUCTION The City of Everett(City) is located at a critical hub within the State of Washington,where international freight corridors coincide with a burgeoning smart growth initiative by the City and Snohomish County.The Port of Everett(Port) handles freight from all over the world and is dependent on the interstate freeway and statewide highway system for delivery of goods.The City has also undertaken a campaign to improve active transportation connections,support and encourage the expansion of Sound Transit service,and expand downtown land use to include more mixed-use development.This study will outline how possible improvements in the travelshed can help the City achieve its growth targets,while providing the accessibility and livability that encourage businesses to invest, and people to live and work there. In addition to advancing the City's goals, integrating off-corridor multimodal ideas with potential I-5/US 2 interchange improvements will allow the results of this study to be integrated with the Washington State Department of Transportation's(WSDOT's) US 2 West Trestle project. It will also help inform the planning strategy for the I-5 corridor,in which WSDOT has also been coordinating with the local jurisdictions and agencies along the corridor from Marysville to Tumwaterto identify projects that could be implemented to gain safety, mobility,and reliability benefits without expanding lane capacity. If other options are not effective at meeting the travel needs for the region,capacity improvements will be considered. In order to make the analysis for this project forward-compatible with WSDOT's efforts,the team will use evaluation and outreach methods that are consistent with those currently used for the state Access Revision Report(ARR)and the federal Planning and Environmental Linkage(PEL) analysis.
