<br /> This superstructure alternative will require shoofly tracks, construction due to adequate redundancy in the system or

<br /> Always a significant concern on any grade separation due A-~-~ ~ r ;y

<br /> The key is to be proactive, meeting early and often, and ~~~aV,;~.,~~,~iiii I ~~~i~~ ~r~~p~~~7~ liiii~ ~~~~u.a„~~~~~~~~ ~,~a„~~~.~~,
<br /> disseminatingthe project information to each utility ii~~~~.a~~~a~tli~ii°~~u i~~~~.~; ~6 '~,p~~ ~~i~~aii~a,~iiir~~u
<br /> company. AECOM will develop a conceptual relocation plan
<br /> and refine this further with input from the utility companies.
<br /> No one will know the impacts and obstructions to be
<br /> encountered better than our designers, and it is up to us to
<br /> convey this information to the utility companies. Our goal
<br /> will be to provide a single relocation, when feasible, for each
<br /> utility within the project site. We have effectively achieved
<br /> this on past projects through the use of:
<br /> Utility Corridors: Utilize easements or acquired right-of-
<br /> wayoutside the Santa Ana Blvd. footprint, combining with
<br /> access roadways to better utilize space.The utility corridor
<br /> allows for a single relocation of each utility, eliminating the
<br /> need for temporary relocations, especially as the agency
<br /> typically will bear the cost of one of these relocations. This
<br /> will be the preferred method, especially with City owned land
<br /> on the south side, as well as many utilities already located
<br /> within the old Fruit Street right-of-way, outside of the grade
<br /> separation improvements.
<br /> Temporary Shutdowns: Early discussions with the utility
<br /> companies, especially water and gas, might yield the fact
<br /> that particular pipelines may be taken out of service during
