ALTERNATIVE ROUTE EVALUATION Clause Samples
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE EVALUATION. The Professional shall perform a maximum of two (2) alternative route evaluations for the proposed interceptor. The purpose of this study shall be to confirm and finalize the interceptor route. The Professional shall perform the following:
2.2.1. use existing geographic information system (“GIS”) and as-built information to determine locations of existing utilities on the Project Site;
2.2.2. perform preliminary site visits to gather project information;
2.2.3. locate all existing wastewater (“WW”) service laterals using as-builts, existing closed-circuit television (“CCTV”) and pipeline assessment certification program (“PACP”) databases provided by NBU;
2.2.4. coordinate with appropriate stakeholders to gather all available information on the Project including TxDOT, the City of New Braunfels, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Comal County, gas companies and electric providers;
2.2.5. evaluate up to two (2) potential routes making recommendations of preferred routes based on cost, constructability, right of way (“ROW”)/road requirements, public impact, utility conflicts, etc. The Professional shall produce GIS exhibits showing proposed pipeline alignments and provide maps and hydraulic profiles of up to two
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE EVALUATION a) The Professional shall perform an alternative route evaluation for up to three (3) routes for the water line. The Professional shall:
i) use existing geographic information system (“GIS”) and as-built information to determine locations of existing utilities on the Project site;
ii) perform preliminary site visits to gather Project information;
iii) coordinate with NBU to gather all available information on the Project;
iv) evaluate up to three (3) potential routes and make recommendation of the preferred route based on cost, constructability, right of way (“ROW”)/road requirements, public impact, utility conflicts, etc. The Professional shall produce GIS exhibits showing proposed pipeline alignments and provide maps of up to three (3) potential pipeline routes; and
v) provide a Class 4 opinion of probable construction cost (“OPCC”) as specified by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering for each route.
b) The Professional shall evaluate the feasibility of trenchless construction in locations that have surface conflicts or require limited surface disturbance in high traffic areas. The Professional shall determine the preferred method of a trenchless construction for up to three (3) crossings or alignments.
