Other efforts include providing support and information to the design team for the Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and other input on the alternatives regarding excavations, fill slopes, retaining wall decisions, and possible mitigation measures for settlement and liquefaction issues that can be expected. Task 4.9—Construction Cost Estimate and Schedule CONSULTANT will prepare a Project Report Level Cost Estimate and Schedule, in accordance with Caltrans requirements. Major construction items, quantities, unit prices, and soft costs will be identified to estimate total project costs including allowances for mobilization and contingencies (appropriate for this level of design detail). Cost variants for alternatives will be estimated, if necessary. Right-of-way and utility relocation costs will be approximated at this stage of design using available information. Task 4.10-Highway Plan Sheets CONSULTANT will develop layout plans for up to two Build Alternative(s) that indicate lane, shoulder, horizontal control, structure locations and right of way requirements in MicroStation format using the topographic base mapping prepared in Task 2. Typical cross sections and roadway profiles and superelevation diagrams of new and modified alignments will also be developed. Task 4.11 -Design Exceptions CONSULTANT will check the geometrics of the existing and proposed state facility for non- standard features and update the list of mandatory and advisory design exceptions identified previously (Task 2), if necessary. Geometric refinements will be further investigated to assess if any non-standard features can be eliminated. Fact Sheets will be drafted and submitted to Caltrans HQ geometrician and District 4 for review and comment. CONSULTANT will address any comments and submit final Fact Sheets for Caltrans approval, prior to submittal of the Draft Project Report. Mandatory design exceptions for interchange spacing, median width and shoulder width are anticipated. Traffic and accident analysis, physical constraints, cost, access control, and environmental impacts will be critical factors in justifying the design. Task 4.12 -Landscape& Aesthetics Concept CONSULTANT will prepare a technical memorandum that provides agreed upon guidance for the future development of the landscape and aesthetics elements of the project. Task 4.13—Life Cycle Cost Analysis CONSULTANT will prepare a pavement Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) far proposed ramps and any mainline work, with the results summarized in a report. LCCA will be performed per procedures and guidelines provided in the latest Caltrans Pavement Policy Bulletin (PPB 10-08).
