AGREEMENT 1-2354 Exhibit A ~-' ..--' CENTERLINE LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK ... PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING Background The Board of Directors of the Orange County Transportation Authority (The AUTHORITY) has selected the Locally Preferred Alternative (LP A) for The CenterLine Light Rail Transit Project (CenterLine). The AUTHORITY requires Preliminary Engineering services (referred to herein as CONSULTANT) to advance the Conceptual Engineering for The CenterLine light rail tr.ansit project to approximately the 30% Preliminary Engineering level. The selected LP A is an elevàt'ed and surface running light rail transit (LRT) system that serves Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Irvine, CA, The vehicles will be low-floor, articulated, light rail vehicles consisting of 1-3 cars. Light rail trains will operate in-street, within reserved rights-of-way, and on aerial .stnlcture as they travel through central Orange County on the LP A, In addition to providing Preliminary Engineering drawings and specifications, this phase of work is to include an updated project scope, updated design criteria and standards, a project cost estimate, and a schedule for completing final engineering and project construction. The work does not involve performing the preparation, processing, and clearance of FEISIFEJR; this work is to be addressed in a separate procurement. However, the CONSULTANT shall be responsible for coordinating and providing project management oversight of the FEISIFEJR effort. The CONSULTANT will use as its baseline the work accomplished to date in the Conceptual Engineering phase.. Using work performed under that contract is to minimize any reanalysis of issues already resolved, unless such reanalysis is specifically directed by The AUTHORITY. The CONSULTANT is also encouraged to consider in all aspects of this work the economic and operational benefits to The AUTHORITY that can be derived by employing the designs and coordinating the materials used by other passenger rail systems in the Southern California region, ' specifically the Los Angeles light rail system, the San Diego Trolley, and Metrolink. Materials' that can be jointly procured, shared, and used in emergencies, if they are common, are to be identified, New designs and approaches are to be considered only if they clearly improve the final product. In regards to public participation and public relations, the CONSULTANT and The AUTHORITY will be responsible to: Integrate the technical and consensus-building aspects of the project throughout the time frame by immediately agreeing on a schedule and decision making process to initiate collaborative, successful project planning; and adjust technical documents as the study proceeds to respond to the most important priorities of the Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Irvine communities as feasible within the overall CenterLine program, (\
