Task 4.3 Proiect Scopinq Meetinas The Cordoba team shall provide technical support to the City of Santa Ana and public outreach lead in their efforts to organize and conduct an Agency Information and Scoping Meeting for the purpose of soliciting comments and input for the AA Study and following environmental studies. Presentation materials shall be prepared summarizing the Corridor Mobility Problem and identifying the Corridor -wide Alternatives proposed for consideration in the AA Study. The purpose of this meeting shall be to inform the public about the study, solicit input on the alternatives to be considered and identify issues and areas of concern that will need to be addressed. Minutes shall be recorded and documented as a part of the AA and environmental planning effort. Ongoing coordination shall be maintained and documented with key resource agencies throughout the study, based on issues and concerns identified in the Project Scoping meeting. The Cordoba team will be responsible for the preparation of Project Scoping presentation materials and insuring that key staff members are present at the Scoping meeting and available to interact with the public and provide information about the studies. Deliverable(s) - Project Scoping Presentation Materials; and technical input to the Project Scoping Report documenting the draft Purpose and Need Corridor Wide Alternatives and technical considerations as well as recommended approaches to incorporate comments received into the ongoing alternatives assessment and environmental process Task 4.4 Initial Screening of AA Study Alternatives Using presentation materials prepared for the Scoping meeting and the comments received at the Scoping meeting, the Cordoba team will revise, supplement and/or modify the Corridor -wide Alternatives proposed for evaluation that were identified in Task 4.1. As described in Task 4.1, we will prepare a conceptual level definition for each alternative (up to five build alternatives) suitable for initial screening. Using evaluation criteria that were developed in Task 3 and that are also consistent with New Starts criteria and OCTA criteria, the Cordoba team will subject this initial set of alternatives to a multidisciplinary technical review to elicit evaluative information on their relative benefits, costs, and impacts at a screening level of analysis. The evaluative information developed during screening will be used to provide the technical rationale for narrowing the range of alternatives for more detailed study to be conducted in the AA/DEIS/DEIR. In adherence to AA and environmental guidelines, the Baseline (or No Build) Alternative and the TSM (or Best Bus) Alternative must be carried forward. This means that the bulk of the technical effort for Initial Screening will focus on making choices among the build alternatives and alignments. The desired outcome of Initial Screening will be to select the two build alternatives that best address the project's purpose and need so that the work conducted in the travel demand forecasting, conceptual engineering, and environmental document phases can be focused on generating the project details that are critical to crafting a successful and workable project. The Cordoba team will document the screening analysis in a format that clearly communicates key results.
