6 <JV AGREEMENT 1-2354 Exhibit A -' ~..... Definition of the Refined LPA: Consolidate the technical work and other relevant input that resulted in the refined LP A. This would describe the design criteria, route alignment, stations, vehicle systems, and Right of Way. The Project Definition Report will be reviewed ,by the AUTHORlTY and Cities and presented to the public. Summarize the results of the meetings and any revisions to the LP A, in preparation for CenterLine Summit No.2, where the Project Definition would be adopted for the Second Phase of work. ' Deliverables: . Draft and Final Project Definition Report. . Updated plan and profile of the LP A within this segment. . Sketches andlor renderings of stations, facilities and vehicles as necessary to help illustrate station concepts for the project definition. , , " , Minimum Operable Segment (MOS) Analysis: The Operable Segments Analysis is a critical element of the PE effort. The purpose of the Operable Segments Analysis will be to defme and evaluate up to four candidate operable segments that could be advanced along with the full Locally Preferred Alternative for implementation as a possible starter line for' the CenterLine proj ect. >- Analvsis MethodOlogy The CONSULTANT will assist in developing an operable segments analysis methodology that is consistent with FTA's New Starts rail system project evaluation criteria. Once defmed, the operable segments will be developed and evaluated with respect to mobility improvements, cost effectiveness, environmental benefits, land use coordination, operating efficiencies, financial capacity, and other measures of key concern to AUTHORITY and the cities, as well as to FT A. ' Among the criteria, of particular significance in the operable segments analysis will be cost effectiveness, operating eff1ciencies, and financial capacity. With respect to cost effectiveness, the incremental cost per passenger will be developed for each operable segment and compared to the full LPA and to the baseline alternative. The comparative, analysis of operating efficiencies will consider the operating costs of the candidate operable, segments in comparison to annual system passenger miles, These will then be compared to the full LPA and to the baseline alternative, For purposes of the financial analysis, the CONSULTANT will work with AUTHORITY staff to utilize the existing AUTHORlTY financial model, with validation and update of input data and assumptions, as required.
