Deliverable(s) — Capital Cost Technical Reportincluding Capital Cost Methodoloovv Task 6.2.7 O&M Cost Estimate Based on the Operations Plan, the Cordoba team will calculate an annual operating cost estimate for each Build Alternative. The Operations Plan provides the basis for the calculation of annual operating hours for each alternative. At this phase of the project, the Cordoba team will apply an established hourly operating and maintenance cost for purposes of comparing the various Build Alternatives. Estimates for the fare structure and interface with OCTA's transit fare structure will also be developed in this step. In the case of the bus -based alternatives, it is proposed that the appropriate operating cost per hour of operation established by the OCTA be utilized as the basis for the O&M cost estimates. For the streetcar alternative, an hourly rate will be established based on the experience of existing operations modified to reflect differences in labor rates in Santa Ana. Annual costs will be estimated for various frequencies of corridor service. Deliverable(s) — O&M Cost Technical Reportincluding O&M Cost Methodologies Task 6.3 Urban Design The Cordoba team shall ensure that urban design considerations are incorporated into the alternatives evaluation process. The urban design component of the AA study will be planned and coordinated in conjunction with the overall public outreach effort to identify key components of the transit alternatives. In close consultation with the City of Santa Ana and other stakeholders, the Cordoba team will prepare an Urban Design Concept Report, which defines the urban design concepts, elements and plans for the Build Alternative(s). We will review and build on work established through the Draft Renaissance Plan and document missed opportunities or conflicts, but otherwise to help assure that the transit vision will fulfill, in part, the urban design strategies expressed in the Draft Renaissance Plan. The urban design elements will include, but are not limited to, community integration, station canopies and signage, diverse and interesting destination, community's image, and pedestrian - friendliness of streetscapes, landscaping, patrons/ bicycle amenities and linkages, etc. Urban Design elements will be proposed for the overall alignment and associated structures, landscaping and structures, parking area designs, and maintenance facility. The identity and design integrity of the project can be reinforced throughout the entire corridor resulting in an overall design that is coordinated and that contributes positively to the corridor environment. Our station area planning and urban design effort will be grounded in the principles of context - sensitive design. Through the community outreach process our urban designers will work with neighborhoods to understand their needs and concerns and gather information on the unique qualities and opportunities afforded by each identified station area. The urban design should enhance the overall image of the neighborhood and should be sensitive to existing places and community character. In addition, current and future joint development plans and opportunities will be considered and we will evaluate how station sites might integrate into and support future planned development. Sites such as the Santiago Street Lofts Project and Willowick Golf Course projects are examples of transit supportive development opportunities. We will provide urban design concepts that will not only contribute positively to the overall architectural character of the community of Santa Ana but that will complement and enhance individual neighborhoods. 191 Pa g e
