REV: 11-19-25 LR <br />To support transparent and informed decision-making process, the Consultant <br />will develop a decision matrix that incorporates key evaluation criteria, <br />including flood reduction performance, constructability, environmental impacts, <br />permitting complexity, operations and maintenance needs, and overall cost. <br />This structured framework will help identify the most practical and cost- <br />effective alternative(s) that align with project goals, regulatory requirements, <br />and community priorities. <br />The goal is to identify the single most practical and cost-effective solution that <br />aligns with community objectives and regulatory requirements. <br />d. Task 9.d Prepare 10% Plans/Profile of Selected High Priority Alternatives: the <br />Consultant and its team will develop conceptual alternatives to a 5-10% design <br />level to inform project elements and concepts for considerations by the <br />Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) based on information collected in Task <br />2 and early stakeholder feedback collected in Task 15. The alternatives will <br />provide elements to mitigate impacts from SLR, increasing precipitation, and <br />rising groundwater. The alternative will also be guided by the Universal Design <br />Principles, as well as the RSAP and the City’s guidance (City Engineer or <br />designee, and City’s Project Manager). Alternatives will also take into <br />consideration existing infrastructure that will influence design solutions and <br />selection, including existing bridges, culverts, and tie-ins with other levee <br />improvements. With insights from the existing conditions analysis, public <br />engagement and permitting strategies, the Consultant will develop conceptual <br />alternatives that integrate hydraulic performance improvements and <br />adaptability with landscape and public realm enhancements. This <br />multidisciplinary effort will not only address channel capacity but also nature- <br />based solutions, habitat restoration, and public access opportunities, ensuring <br />a balanced approach to flood resilience and ecological function. <br />The Consultant will develop unit costs for each alternative and use the <br />conceptual design plan views to provide a Class 4 cost estimate for each full <br />alternative. Because of the variability of conditions, necessary height, view <br />potential, environmental and other constraints, each alternative will likely include <br />some combination of alternatives in different reaches, however each will be <br />distinctly different from the others. <br />The Consultant and Team will recommend criteria metrics to guide the alternative <br />assessment to support CEQA, NEPA, and LEDPA analysis and incorporate input <br />from the Project TAC and PMT. This includes clearly describing the needs, <br />purpose, and practicality of each alternative considering space availability, <br />logistics, use of engineering technology, and cost. It also includes identifying <br />impacts to wetlands, open water, federally listed species, and upland floodplain <br />areas. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.317/Wood Rodgers, Inc. (Page 24 of 77)
