3. WORK TASKS
The Study shall consist of the following work tasks to be performed by the
Consultant in cooperation with the Technical Steering Committee, County
Engineer and Planning and Environmental Resources Department staff:
A. Data Collection, Basic engineering and planning background data shall be
collected necessary to perform an adequate evaluation of existing conditions and
development alternatives and their associated impacts and to prepare a preferred
alignment and preliminary design alternative. These data shall include but not be
limited to: natural and man-made features from existing GIS data base; property
ownership and assessed values from existing county data base; traffic information
from existing studies, including the Big Pine Key Transportation Improvement
Study completed for the Habitat Conservation Plan; accident data; existing
transportation and related plans; and other related reports, studies, and legal and
real estate instruments affecting route selection, The physical data will be
incorporated into a CADD data base that is compatible for use in ARC View and
on aerial photography used for public presentations, corridor maps, and
alternative alignments,
B. Engineer and Planning Analyses of Alternatives. The following work sub-
tasks shall be performed as part of the engineering and planning analyses:
1, Project Need: The consultant shall verify and quantify, using modeling
and other transportation planning techniques, the purpose and need for the
cross-island connector and shall identify input from the Technical Steering
Committee specific preliminary design and evaluation criteria for the
proposed facility, including engineering, planning, community impact,
policy, and economic factors.
2, Conceptual Corridor and Alignment Alternatives: The consultant shall
identify potential route corridors for the connector with input from the
Technical Steering Committee that help achieve the specific purposes and
need for the facility based on the Livable CommuniKeys Planning Process
and the draft Habitat Conservation Plan and in consultation with the
Technical Steering Committee, Based on the selection of viable corridors,
the consultant shall prepare up to two alternative alignments for each
corridor with multiple typical sections and sub-alternatives for each main
alignment. The consultant shall model each main alignment for existing
and projected traffic movements and volumes. A preliminary roadway
design shall be prepared for each alignment, including typical cross
section, horizontal alignment, lighting, traffic control and calming
measures, and bicycle/pedestrian facilities.
3. Cost Analysis: The consultant shall prepare preliminary construction
cost estimates for each alternative,

the preferred alternative selection task:
1. Preferred Alternative Selection: The consultant shall recommend a
preferred alternative based on a review and analysis of all engineering,
