Common use of Identify and Define Proposed Improvements Clause in Contracts

Identify and Define Proposed Improvements. The Engineer shall identify and define three ranges of reasonable, context-sensitive improvements within the study area that can be implemented within a short-term [0-5 years] timeframe, an intermediate [6- 10 years] timeframe, and a long-term [11+ years] timeframe. The principal difference is whether the proposed solution is entirely within the existing right-of-way such as median closures or involves negotiation with adjacent landowners such as adding turn lanes or driveway reconfigurations, cost considerations, and roadway capacity additions or influencing land use changes.
