TASK 8: REFINEMENT OF LOCALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE 8.2 Refine LPA Upon the City's adoption of a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) the Cordoba team will document the conceptual design of the LPA based upon the conceptual designs of the build alternatives developed in Task 6. This conceptual design documentation will incorporate any modifications to the physical design concept and scope of the alternative or combination of alternatives from the Reduced Set selected as the LPA. Once the design concept is documented the capital cost estimate for the LPA will be developed This estimate will be based upon the prior estimate developed in Task 6 but will be updated to reflect any changes in design concept and scope. In addition those design elements of the LPA deemed to have the highest capital cost uncertainty and risk will be refined to reduce the level of capital cost uncertainty. Similarly we will update the operating plan so that it accurately describes the LPA operating plan. This will include updating of the Operating and Maintenance cost estimate. Finally, in collaboration with the City, the Cordoba team will assemble the documentation of the LPA in a Locally Preferred Alternative Decision Document approximately 25 pages in a format conducive to communicating its characteristics benefits and costs in text graphics and visual simulations to the public, stakeholders, decision makers and potential funding partners. Deliverables: Draft Locally Preferred Alternative Decision Document for City review and approval Final LPA Decision Document, electronic (3 CDs) and thirty (30) color hard copies Presentation Graphics and Visual Simulations TASK 10: DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (EIR/EA) 10.5 Administrative Draft EIR/EA The Cordoba Team will complete the incorporation of OCTA/PMO comments on the 2"d Administrative Draft EIR/EA and produce an electronic version of the 3rd Admin Draft EIR/EA. Following City and OCTA review of the 3rd Admin Draft, Cordoba will incorporate any revisions outstanding from the original review of the 2nd Admin Draft, and prepare the document for submittal to OCTA/FTA. We will revise the Section 4(f) Technical Report and the Environmental Justice Technical Report to comply with current FTA requirements. We will coordinate with the City, OCTA and FTA to prepare the Section 106 Report to address the Pacific Electric Santa Ana River Bridge, and revise the DEIR/EA as appropriate to incorporate Section 4(f), environmental justice and Section 106 write-ups. Following a review of the most recent version of the DEIR/EA (incorporating the comments received through 3/28/2012) by the City, OCTA and Cordoba team, we will produce a DEIR/EA for FTA review. The Cordoba Team will coordinate with the City of Santa Ana, OCTA and FTA to determine whether a combined environmental document (EIR/EA) or a standalone federal document (EA) is preferred. If FTA expresses a preference for the stand alone document, a separate Administrative Draft EA will be created. Deliverables: Environmental Justice Technical Report 25D-12
