include, but may not be limited to, moisture contents, unit dry weights, Atterberg Limits, proctors, California Bearing Ratio ( "CBR ") tests, compressive strength tests, triaxial compression shear tests, direct shear tests and grain -size analyses. 1.2.3 Deliverables. As part of this Task 1.2, deliver to the City: 1) Four (4) copies of the preliminary design schematic and four (4) copies of the final schematic and one (1) electronic copy on CD/DVD in PDF format. The Engineer will provide hard copies of the schematic in color roll plot format. 2) A preliminary construction cost estimate. 3) Fly through animation for three dimensional design /aesthetic options. 4) A geotechnical engineering report, which details the results of the testing performed, provides logs of borings in TxDOT's Wincor format and includes a Project layout. The Engineer will prepare this report in accordance with TxDOT standards and will provide geotechnical engineering recommendations to address the following: a) Site, subgrade, and fill preparation; b) Pavement guidelines; c) Drilled shaft foundation design and construction for bridge structures; and d) Foundation design and construction for retaining walls. 1.3 TASK 3 — SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT (TxDOT Function Code 120) The Engineer will: 1.3.1 Environmental Document. Prepare an Environmental Assessment ( "EA ") in accordance with State and federal laws, rules, regulations, and any existing Memoranda of Understanding or Agreements held by the State, to meet the National Environmental Policy Act requirements for this Project. The following addresses regulatory compliance concerns for the project, as outlined in a typical EA document to include and be organized as follows: 1) Introduction — Discussion of previous projects adjacent to logical termini to include limits, length, and the location of logical termini. 2) Existing Facilitv — Description of the pavement widths: overall pavement, travel lane, shoulders, turn- lanes, existing right -of -way, etc. as well as the inclusion of detail on cross - drainage structures, intersections etc. The document will specifically address whether or not there are bridge class culverts within the Project limits. 3) Puroose and Need Inclusion of background data (traffic /accident, local/regional /state planning) that indicate the need to improve the roadway. The document will include the purpose for the proposed improvements and the need. 4) Alternatives Analysis — Inclusion of a statement as to how each alternative that is considered would or would not meet the purpose and need for the proposed Project. For this Project, the Engineer will consider one build alternative and the "no- build" alternatives. HDR — Loop 82 Project Agreement 6
