ROUTE AND DESIGN STUDIES Clause Samples
The 'Route and Design Studies' clause outlines the requirement for conducting investigations and analyses to determine the optimal path and technical specifications for a project, such as a road, pipeline, or utility line. This clause typically mandates that the responsible party perform surveys, consider environmental and regulatory constraints, and evaluate alternative routes before finalizing the design. Its core function is to ensure that the project is planned efficiently and responsibly, minimizing risks, costs, and potential impacts by thoroughly assessing all viable options before construction begins.
ROUTE AND DESIGN STUDIES. The Engineer shall prepare an alignment and proposed roadway schematic layout to include projected traffic volumes, and existing and proposed typical sections. The Engineer shall furnish Microsoft Office and Microstation V8i-Geopak computer generated media containing the roadway schematic layout to the State. All supporting attachments and exhibits shall accompany the schematic layout. All Microstation and Geopak computer generated files containing the roadway design schematic shall be compatible with the software used by the State. The Engineer shall produce, obtain, review, and evaluate existing and twenty-year projected traffic data for use in the preparation of the schematic design layout. The data shall be utilized in accordance with the requirements for schematic development and consistent with the policies of the State. The Engineer shall prepare preliminary drawings to identify any potential impacts within the project corridor including impacts to the nature, cultural and human environment. Identification should include, but not be limited to all existing and proposed utilities (public and private), structures, burial grounds, neighborhood communities, historical landmarks, and undeveloped areas is required. Any potential utility conflicts and structural impediments must be identified as such. The Engineer shall propose alternative alignments which would avoid or minimize displacements and damages, and prepare any additional attachments or exhibits required illustrating a preferred alternative alignment. The Engineer shall render assistance to the State for agency meetings as necessary during the development of the schematic design as requested by the State. The Engineer shall also render assistance to the State for meetings with affected property owners (MAPOs), public meetings and a public hearing if requested.
