• Site specific review of near -side verses far -side stop locations to lessen traffic and pedestrian conflicts Deliverable(s) — Design Sheets for inclusion in the Concept Design Plan Set Task 6.2.4 Maintenance Facility Location and Desian For the streetcar alternatives, a maintenance and storage facility will be identified and a concept level design developed for purposes of establishing cost estimates and assessing environmental impacts at up to two site locations. Based on the Operations Plan and concurrent fleet projections, the Cordoba team will develop criteria that will establish a targeted site size for use in reviewing potential candidate sites. The Cordoba team will review the previously identified site options as well as other potential sites that are of sufficient size to accommodate the anticipated long-term fleet of vehicles in order to identify the two best candidates. Preference will be given to sites that are directly adjacent or near the preferred alignment, in an area of compatible existing and zoned land uses and of the size to accommodate the maintenance building, vehicle storage, employee parking and parts storage. For bus -based alternatives allowances should be established for use of existing maintenance facilities of the OCTA or other area operators. Costs for the O&M function as well as any related capital expenditures required to accommodate the added fleet will be accounted for in order to make a fair comparison between the modes under consideration. Deliverable(s) — O&M Facility Site Review Report Design Sheets for inclusion in the Concept Design Plan Set Task 6.2.5 Operations Plan In order to establish a site size requirement for and O&M facility and the capital costs associated with the vehicle fleet acquisition, an initial Operations Plan will be developed for each Build Alternative by the Cordoba team. Working with the City, an assumption or set of assumptions will be made regarding the hours of service (weekday, Saturday, Sunday) and layover requirements. Based on existing data available from local bus operations and existing streetcar operations, an estimated travel speed will be established for segments of the corridor for both the bus and streetcar modes. Running times will be calculated and various service frequencies will be tested. Based on the above input, fleet requirements will be established to support both any initial segments under consideration as well as an anticipated system build- out. Deliverable(s) — Operations Plan Technical Report Task 6.2.6 Caoital Cost Estimate Based on the conceptual design developed for each Build Alternative, a capital cost estimate will be developed. The estimates will be presented in the FTA Standard Cost Category (SCC) format or other format that the City would prefer. Estimates will be developed in both current year and Year of Expenditure dollars. The Cordoba team will generate unit costs for all major cost components based on recent construction bid tabs. For the streetcar components, URS will bring first hand cost data from the both the most recent extension of the Portland Streetcar Project as well as the Seattle South Lake Union Streetcar Project. These two projects represent the most current streetcar construction projects in the US. 181 Pa g e
