The VA study analyzed the conceptual plans and ensured the compatibility with the surrounding conditions. The objectives of the VA study were to review the \u201cbase case\u201d project for cost-effectiveness, function, and ability to meet objectives; and to provide VA proposals and design comments to increase project value through improved functionality, constructability, phaseability, coordination with other projects, and/or capital cost avoidance. The VA team generated 22 ideas, 9 VA proposals, and 2 design comments for which definitive VA proposals could not be made or quantified at the time of the study. Alameda CTC accepted three VA proposals to further evaluate and implement during the design phase: \u2022 VA-1: Allow for simultaneous construction staging of median and outside shoulder work to avoid deferring the structure work until late in the process, which would reduce the project construction time and subsequent cost. \u2022 VA-6: Construct the northbound roadway section in the median during Phase 1 instead of Phase 2, to reduce cost through more efficient staging and to reduce rework and subsequently minimize traffic impacts. \u2022 VA-7: Combine the proposed project with the I-680 Pavement Rehabilitation Project between \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 Road and Alcosta Boulevard (04-ALA-680 PM M12.4/R21.9; EA 04-0J620), to reduce mobilization costs; project administration/construction management costs; COZEEP; time related overhead; multiple Resident Engineer offices; traffic staging; K-rail placement; cutting of new pavement for conduits/utilities; rework on the shoulders and the traffic lanes to place communication fiber, conduits, cabinets etc.; biological mitigation costs; and long-term lane closure time associated with project overlap. Alameda CTC designated the following proposal and comments as needing further study: \u2022 VA-2: Use cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) soldier pile walls instead of Type 1 Modified walls with piles for Retaining Walls (RW) 581 and RW-600, to simplify construction and eliminate footing conflicts with existing walls. \u2022 VA-3: Consolidate closely spaced overhead signs to use only one structure (pole and foundation), where feasible, to reduce the number of structures and associated visual clutter. \u2022 VA-4: Microgrid Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) at the end of the project to remove remnants of previous lane line striping and improve lane line visibility. \u2022 VA-5: Coordinate with Caltrans to avoid placing open grade pavement at the end of the I-680 Pavement Rehabilitation Project between \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 Road and Alcosta Boulevard (04-ALA-680 PM M12.4/R21.9; EA 04-0J620), since the proposed express lane striping will scar the pavement and require rework due to project overlap. \u2022 VA-8: Include proposed project components such as median work, cross-slope correction, utilities work, and electronic conduit placement in the Caltrans Pavement Rehabilitation Project, to avoid or minimize rework and traffic disruption due to project overlap. \u2022 VA-9: Incorporate proposed median work (pavement widening, concrete barrier, and tolling system infrastructure) into the SR 84 Expressway Widening and SR 84/I-680 Interchange Improvements Project (EA 297631) to reduce rework due to project overlap. \u2022 DC-1: Investigate bearing loads during design of soil nail wall (RW-213) to determine if there are constructability issues and a different wall type is required. \u2022 DC-2: Consider soldier pile walls if temporary construction easements (TCEs) cannot be acquired for construction of soil nail walls (e.g., RW-633). VA-1 Allow for simultaneous staging $190,000 VA-2 Use CIDH wall (i.e., soldier pile) for RW 581 and RW 600 ($3,120,000) VA-3 Consolidate the signage to use only one structure in lieu of two structures closely spaced together, where feasible $380,000 VA-4 Micro Grind Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) at the end of the project ($1,520,000) VA-5 Coordinate with Caltrans Rehabilitation Project to avoid placing open grade because express lane staging striping will scar the pavement $1,180,000", "hash": "9aef27ea9828d490e426dfd99ad47952", "id": 8}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "beginning-of-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [75, 91]}], "samples": [{"hash": "fJmJvj5vImQ", "uri": "/contracts/fJmJvj5vImQ#value-analysis", "label": "Project Baseline Agreement", "score": 28.0753898621, "published": true}, {"hash": "ku29bkieQfK", "uri": "/contracts/ku29bkieQfK#value-analysis", "label": "Project Baseline Agreement", "score": 27.2322807312, "published": true}], "size": 2, "snippet": "A Value Analysis will be required for this project.
