Alternatives Analysis. The Authority, with FRA approval, will conduct an Alternatives Analysis (AA) in each Section to help identify the alignments and station locations to carry forward in the environmental review. The AA process will define potentially reasonable and feasible project alternatives, design options, and station locations that can meet the NEPA Purpose and Need and CEQA project objectives while avoiding or minimizing environmental impacts. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the consideration or further study (and associated funding under this Agreement) of any reasonable alternative(s) to complete the CHSTP, including reasonable alternative(s) outside the currently identified Section(s) set forth above and elsewhere in this Agreement as is appropriate under either NEPA or CEQA. (The AA process is under way in all seven Sections and activities undertaken in developing the alternatives analysis after the effective date of this Agreement are potentially eligible under this Statement of Work.)2
Alternatives Analysis. Xxxx & Peers will analyze trip generation estimates for two additional project alternatives (in addition to the No Project analysis). These project alternatives are assumed to be lower intensity alternatives, so no additional intersection LOS and project impact analysis will be prepared. However, their effects on the potential for project impacts will be qualitatively discussed and a brief written summary will be provided.

Alternatives Analysis. The alternatives analysis included seven alternatives, including the no- action alternative, for achieving the stated Cleanup Objectives. The alternatives selected for consideration were pre-screened for general appropriateness in addressing the site-specific environmental issues, including the type of COCs and the type and extent of impacted media. The analysis was comprised of four primary factors – technical effectiveness, treatment time, cost, and impact to present and planned site uses. The technical effectiveness criterion took into account the treatment mechanism, implementation, and practicability for the site-specific conditions.
Alternatives Analysis. Xxxxxx will summarize the existing right-of-way conditions of the site and the implications they will have on the desired improvements cross-section. We will hold an alternatives meeting with the City to determine which alternatives should be evaluated for consideration. Based on this meeting, we will prepare a brief memo analyzing up to three (3) design alternatives, each with a graphic for review and public outreach. The memo will discuss the general implications of each design alternative on scope of construction, relative cost, right-of-way acquisition implications, and other elements impacting the road alignment and cross section. Prager will make specific recommendations associated with potential tree impacts for each alternative. Based on public outreach efforts described in Task 1.3, we will hold an alternative selection meeting with the City to determine the preferred alternative.
Alternatives Analysis. Consultant will prepare a project alternatives analysis report demonstrating that the proposed project avoids, where practicable, waters of the United States (including wetlands) as per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Clean Water Act, Section 404(b)(1) Project Alternatives Analysis Guidelines. The Alternatives Analysis will also provide documentation of how the project has been minimized where impacts to jurisdictional waters are unavoidable on site to reduce impacts. USACE and RWQCB regulations require that only the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative can be authorized. Upon District approval, Consultant will provide the analysis report and required documentation to the USACE and RWQCB for review and approval.
Alternatives Analysis. At least two alternatives will be prepared examining different future scenarios for higher residential density in the PDA, including the area outside of the PDA that is proposed for inclusion in the Specific Plan area boundary. The scenarios will be developed utilizing smart growth principles and will provide for a mix of housing types. The alternatives will include recommendations regarding adjustments to land use categories, modification of development standards, and the incorporation of form- based code. The alternatives will be developed based on input from community workshops and meetings of the TAC as well as the data developed through the PDA profile and market study. A report describing and analyzing the alternatives will be prepared to quantify development potential.
Alternatives Analysis. The Contractor will analyze the strengths, benefits and risks of alternatives for building out the modular solution pattern for the Vermont Health Services Enterprise. The analysis will be based on the functional and non- functional requirements, and on using Oracle’s 53 Key SOA Infrastructure Components, other essential solution components, and development approaches such as build ground up, whole cloth transfer, transfer and configure, Component Off the Shelf (COTS), combination. The analysis will use the following weighted criteria: Alignment with Blueprint for Health vision, strategy and functional requirements Alignment with technical and performance requirements Time to deployment and alignment with ACA timeline Costs for implementation Costs for maintenance and operations Risks Identify the range of alternative technical approaches for building out the modular solution pattern for the Vermont Health Services Enterprise integrating the portfolio of components essential to support the vision for the Blueprint for Health Assess the feasibility of transferring the Oregon solution and approach Develop a recommendation based on a structured analysis Conduct a thorough assessment of the Oregon transfer approach and solution to determine its applicability to address the strategic direction and the functional and nonfunctional requirements identified and to ensure achievement of the project’s key timelines for leveraging enhanced federal funding
Alternatives Analysis. The Consultant team will reflect on the prior planning charrette to revisit the project’s vision, goals and objectives for alignment with the community’s needs and priorities to inform this task. Develop and present up to two (2) to three (3) design alternatives for addressing each of the planning elements. Present and revise concepts at three (3) Project Steering Committee Workshops and eight (8) stakeholder outreach meetings before display at the Open House. Advance the NVCA master plan design for inclusion into the alternatives analysis process to vary open space and programming options. Develop conceptual designs (10% - 15% level of design) for each alternative to show basic geometry, locations of potential structures and key environmental, garbage/recycling collection, right-of-way, and local access constraints. Conceptual designs will utilize survey information provided under Task 3.1 and will accompany exhibits submitted with the Alternatives Analysis Memorandum. The transportation analysis in Task 5 will evaluate up to two (2) alternatives to summarize transportation impacts and needs related to multimodal operations, circulation, and safety. Prepare preliminary order-of-magnitude cost estimates for each of the alternatives described above to facilitate selection of the preferred alternatives. Base the cost estimates on up to a ten
