(�' W 4TH ST _ One electronic and 12 hard copies of the draft FMP Task 5 — Quality Management Plan (QMP) 9 0' Cordoba will produce the QMP for the implementation of the Project with assistance from URS, Appropriate levels of reporting, documentation and accountability will be outlined that ensure compliance with FTA's 2002 guidelines, S. Cuevas, B. Post I One electronic and 12 hard copies of the draft and the final Task 6 -- Real Estate Acquisition Management Plan (RAMP) The land use and zoning for Santa Ana - Garden Grove supports the development of higher density mixed use development that can be served with a fixed guideway transit. Cordoba will lead the preparation of this document with support from SOJ and URS Engineering. This locally -led team understands very well the local real estate along the alternative routes and their use 1 characteristics, and the rights -of -way, facilities ! Improvements, ownership, leases and politics related to major land tracts affected. The full documentation of local plans and commitments will be included, all in full compliance with 49 CFR Part 24. The transit route does serve important attractions in Santa Ana, supports transit oriented development for the future and connects to the multi -modal transit center. B. Tong, D. Davies, D. Levinsohn 11 One electronic and 12 hard copies of the draft and the final RAMP Tasks -7 and 8: Ridership Forecasting /Reporting As noted in the Approach, the Cost Effectiveness criterion represents 33% of the federal rating for the project. Cost effectiveness is determined by comparing the total cost of the project to the total benefits generated from the project. The result of the comparison is an estimated cost per benefit. A cost per benefit below $24,99 results in a medium rating. Costs higher than that result in a low rating. Portland ($29,42) and Tucson ($36 approximately) both received low ratings. Project benefits are substantially determined from information provided by travel demand forecasting models, The required information Is developed by applying the FTA SUMMIT software to the travel forecast results, Fixed guideway projects are judged against a baseline case of improved bus transit. Current FTA methodology does not account for the benefits of streetcar. The methodology is based substantially on travel time savings. Streetcar does not generate travel time savings over a bus operating on the same street system. The ridership forecasting effort and subsequent FTA SUMMIT analysis require careful management and policy direction to obtain the desired outcomes while maintaining cost control given the budget allocation for this phase,. The cost for conducting these elements of work iteratively can easily dominate the budget and could require more funding than is allocated. In recognition that the prospect for obtaining a medium rating is very low, it needs to be determined, in consultation with FTA, how extensive these efforts should be if the Cost Effectiveness category rating for the project will not change substantially.
