Common use of Detailed Evaluations of Alternative(s Clause in Contracts

Detailed Evaluations of Alternative(s. The Consultant will further evaluate each design alternative and the null alternative with specific engineering analyses and considerations. Analyses will be conceptual and limited to determining the relative suitability of each design alternative, and will include: - design geometry, including the identification and comparison of alignment constraints and (where applicable) justification for retaining nonstandard design features, per Chapter 2, Section 2.8 of the NYSDOT Highway Design Manual. - environmental constraints and potential environmental impact mitigation measures (identified under Section 4 tasks). - traffic flow and safety considerations, including signs, signals, and level of service analysis for intersections. - pavement. - structures, including bridges, retaining walls, major culverts, and building alterations (limited to establishing basic concepts, accommodating clearances and stream flow, and estimating costs). Bridge investigative work (inspection, deck coring, etc.) is covered under Section 2. - drainage. - maintenance responsibility. - maintenance and protection of traffic during construction. - soil and foundation considerations. - utilities. - right-of-way acquisition requirements. - accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists and the disabled. - construction cost factors. The Consultant will prepare the following drawings for each design alternative analyzed: - 1 = 20’ plans showing (as a minimum) stationed centerlines; roadway geometrics; major drainage features; construction limits; cut and fill limits; and proposed right-of-way acquisition lines. - profiles, at a scale of 1” = 20’ horizontal and 1”= 4’ (maximum) vertical, showing (as a minimum) the vertical datum reference; significant elevations; existing ground line; theoretical grade line; grades; vertical curve data including sight distances; critical clearances at structures; centerline stations and equalities; construction limits; and superelevation data. - typical sections showing (as a minimum) lane, median, and shoulder widths; ditches; gutters; curbs; and side slopes.
