City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study <br />RFP NO. 25-029 | B. Services Provided <br />07 <br />align with the City’s guidance on impact avoidance and minimization <br />strategies will be considered. Delay, near miss crashes, travel time <br />and crash history will be taken into consideration when identifying the <br />overall traffic deficiencies and need for improvement. This may include <br />improvements to signal timing, communications or operations, physical <br />modifications, and geometrics. Improvements will align with OCTA’s <br />Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) and the City’s Mobility Element <br />LOS goals. <br />4.2 Proposed Alternatives <br />The HDR team will receive feedback from the community during the <br />design charrette in Task 3.3 and use that information to develop and <br />refine three alternatives. The concepts will initially be developed as cross <br />sections and then drawn in plan view on the LiDAR survey collected <br />during Task 2. Once the plan view is developed, we will work closely <br />with our subconsultant, Cityworks Design, to develop illustrations and <br />renderings that help convey the alternatives to the public, including <br />sketched cross sections and plan views. <br />4.3 Programmatic Cost Estimates <br />For each of the three alternatives, HDR will prepare a concept-level cost <br />estimate that includes construction cost for the roadway and signal <br />modifications, estimate of ROW and high level costs, utility relocation <br />and estimate costs, tenant eviction or relocation costs, and project <br />closeout. Since projects occur over time, an escalation of cost will also <br />be documented depending upon a future timeline to be coordinated <br />with OCTA. <br />4.4 Alternatives Evaluation and Feasibility Study <br />Once the three alternatives have been developed and presented to the <br />community, CBOs and stakeholders, HDR will work with the City to <br />select the locally preferred alternative. Analysis of pedestrian, bicycle, <br />automobile, and transit conditions will be evaluated for each of the three <br />alternatives. Prioritization criteria will be developed and used to score <br />the alternatives. Scoring shall align with the previously established goals <br />and objectives of the project, and will include improved connectivity, <br />improved safety, increased access to reliable transportation options, <br />transit efficiency, and higher quality pedestrian and bicycle facilities. <br />Community support will also be a key factor in the selection of the <br />preferred alternative. The HDR team will work with the PDT and Agency <br />Project Oversight group to refine the scoring criteria and will present the <br />results to these groups before selecting a locally preferred alternative. <br />On the Laguna Canyon Road (SR 133) Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) project, HDR developed <br />and analyzed multiple complete streets alternatives that included integration of new bicycle and pedestrian facilities. To help <br />select a preferred alternative, HDR developed an alternatives matrix based on the evaluation criteria from the Purpose and <br />Need statement. The use of icons and colors in the matrix allowed for an easy-to-digest comparison of the alternatives.
