i. Alignment: Using the survey information, a proposed route will be identified. System integration will be evaluated, including an assessment of existing utility interference. Traffic control and park access requirements will be considered when analyzing the possible alignments. KFA will evaluate workspace and analyze various construction methods for crossing the San Marcos River, including horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and jack and bore to determine the most suitable solution for the project. b. Blanco River Crossing Waterline: i. Alignment: Using the City's GIS information, various alignments for crossing the Blanco River will be evaluated and a preferred alignment will be proposed. For this evaluation, trenchless installation methods will be considered, including HDD and jack and bore, the length and cost of the trenchless installation, and the amount of temporary and permanent easements required for construction. KFA will coordinate with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), who owns the property on the north side of the crossing, to evaluate the options for the proposed alignment in the State right-of-way on the north side of the Blanco River. It is assumed that the City will directly coordinate with the private property owner on the south side of the river for right -of -entry. KFA will provide exhibits and other assistance as needed for property owner coordination. 6. Cheatham Street Sidewalk Improvements a. Alignment: The apparent right-of-way lines from the survey will be used to identify potential alignments to keep the proposed sidewalks within existing right- of-way and connect to existing sidewalks along the south side of Cheatham Street between Riverside Drive and the bridge crossing of the San Marcos River. KFA will also identify a location for a cross -walk to connect the proposed sidewalk to the existing sidewalk on the north side of Cheatham Street. 7. Other a. Determine Project Permitting/Design Requirements: KFA will determine project permitting and design requirements for local, state and federal entities. b. Utility Coordination: Coordinate with the City to determine utility service providers in the vicinity of the project, and KFA will contact each provider to request the plans and/or schematics of their utility lines within the project area. c. Construction Cost Estimates: Develop Class C (± 25%) estimates of probable construction cost based on the information gathered above. 8. Deliverables: a. Cheatham Street Waterline: Preliminary Engineering Design Memorandum: A Design Memorandum will be prepared summarizing the investigation and recommendations. At a minimum the Design Memorandum will include:
