environmental concerns on all viable relocation alternatives. It appears, on the surface, that issues such as drainage and surface pollutant runoff containment, potential air quality threat and noise pollution surrounding residential areas, parks and institutions may be among some of the potential environmental concerns. Due to the fact that only a cursory review will be conducted on the environmental issues, the analysis will be limited to the identification oF potential and severe problems and possible mitigation methods. If the cost of mitigation appears to be a potential threat to the viability of a particular alternative, the consultant will present the findings in the summary report. TASK 7- PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS On the basis of the corridor relocation alternadve evaluations from tasks 4,5 and 6, Bucher, Willis & Ratliff will summarize all the viable alternatives on an evaluation matrix, comparing each alternative with respect to the evaluation criteria. Based on these comparisons of both tangible and less quantifiable factors, the consultant will recommend to the City a preferred alternative plan including the following: right-of-way requirements, functional classification of the revised street network, transportation policies needed to guide the process through implementation, other non-motorized transportation plans related to the relocation, and preliminary cost estimate. The implementation plan will include a short range,intermediate and long range improvement program,if it is deemed feasible. TASK 8 - REPORT AND DOCUMENTATION This task is to document the study methodology, findings, conclusions, and recommendations and to monitor the study progress. A progress report will be prepared on a monthly basis to submit to the City for review. In addition, a working paper will be prepared at the end of Task 4 to su�runarize the alternative evaluation. This working paper will be incorporated into the final report. The consultant will prepare a final report summarizing the study process, anal�sis, and recommendations. The written report will also include the preliminary drawing of the preferred corridor alignment, typical cross-sections,and the results of benefit/cost analysis of all viable alternatives. Other information in the report will include potential environmental impacts; mitigation measures, estimated cost, additional right-of-way needed, implementation sequence, and other information required to fully define the project. Ten (10) copies of the draft final report will be submitted to the City for review purposes. Fifty(50) copies of the final report will be printed following the approval of the preliminary draft of the report. Bucher,Willis &Ratliff will also prepare a brief executive summary (no more than 6 pages) for binding within the final report or as a separate document for distribution. 11
