Common use of Alternatives Analysis Clause in Contracts

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
