VALUE ENGINEERING STUDY

This project will be subject to a Value Engineering (VE) Study prior to completion of the preliminary design phase. The VE Study will be conducted by a multi-disciplined team of COMMISSION personnel and a representative from the CONSULTANT whose purpose will be to consider cost improvements and develop alternate designs.

VE is an event oriented function that will occur prior to completion of the preliminary plans. The VE Study will be part of the preliminary plan review done by the COMMISSION. VE Study support services required of the CONSULTANT will include preparation of project data, an engineer from the CONSULTANT to participate on the 5-7 member VE team, presentation of the project by the CONSULTANT to the VE Study team, follow-up communications during the VE study, attendance of the VE Study presentation and review of design recommendations made by the VE team. The total CONSULTANT VE Study support services may require up to 100 man-hours as outlined below:

1.	Preparation of project data and drawings. - The CONSULTANT will assemble project reference material, design data and documentation developed during the preparation of the preliminary plans. A Project Data Check List is provided on sheet 3 of this Exhibit. Three (3) sets of drawings will be submitted to the COMMISSION’S District Office two (2) weeks prior to the start of the VE Study. The project data files should be brought to the study site for use by the team.

2.	CONSULTANT VE Study Team Member - The CONSULTANT will be represented on the VE Study team by an Engineer employed by their organization. The CONSULTANT'S VE Study team Engineer will meet with the VE Study team four consecutive days for eight (8) hours each day.

3.	Presentation of the Project to the VE Team - The CONSULTANT'S Project Manager and other key project personnel shall meet with the VE team during the first day of the study to explain development of design features and explain the rationale used. The presentation portion of the VE study may require 1-2 hours.

4.	Follow-up Communications - The CONSULTANT will provide telephone and written communications during the course of the VE Study.

5.	VE Study Presentation - The CONSULTANT'S Project Manager will attend the VE Study presentation of recommendations. The presentation will be given the last day of the study and may require 1-2 hours.

6.	Review Design Recommendations - The CONSULTANT'S Project Manager will review the design recommendations made by the VE Study team and respond in writing to the COMMISSION'S District Office with their recommendations. Recommendations should fall into one of three categories for each recommendation; approval, disapproval or modification.

7.	COMMISSION Preliminary Plans Review - The COMMISSION will ultimately approve, disapprove or modify any recommendation made by the VE Study team as part of the preliminary plans review.

SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR

PHASE I CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEYS

This scope of services covers only CONSULTANT services through the Phase I cultural resources survey and the resulting Phase I survey memo/report. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) reserves the right to negotiate a supplemental agreement with the current CONSULTANT or enter into a separate agreement with a different CONSULTANT(s) for any further work inclusive of specialized studies, Phase II investigations, or mitigation efforts.

TASK 1 - PROJECT INITIATION

The CONSULTANT will complete and submit a Project Summary Form for the project to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Historic Preservation Program (HPP). The primary CONSULTANT should do this before hiring a sub-consultant or otherwise committing to a cultural resources survey, as one outcome may be that no survey is required. If HPP's response to this submittal is that no further cultural resources investigations are required, Section 106 clearance will have been received and no further cultural resources investigations will be done for that project. If HPP determines that cultural resources investigations are required for a project, those investigations will follow the process outlined below.

TASK 2 - PRE-FIELD STUDIES

A general cultural overview will be developed to generate historical themes and provide a cultural context for the evaluation of cultural resources identified in the project vicinity. This shall also include background research conducted for the project vicinity. The records of the HPP and the Archaeological Survey of Missouri (ASM) must be consulted and the results of this research documented in the memo/report regardless of whether or not cultural resources are identified in the project area. This task shall minimally include:

1.	Review and summary of the existing archaeological, architectural, and historical literature (CRM reports, academic publications, regional histories, architectural inventories, bridge inventories, archival maps, plat records, etc.) for the study area.

2.	Identification of previously reported cultural resources within and adjacent to the study area. Typically, resources within one mile of the project area should be discussed (tabular data may be substituted for discussion if there is a great number of redundant resource types or if the resources are poorly documented and do not contribute to the understanding of regional resources).

3.	Identification of cemeteries that may be within or adjacent to the project area. Typically, this is performed through the review of topographic maps or other archival resources and will be supplemented through later field investigations.

4.	Review and summary of the pertinent environmental data (e.g. geology, soils data, hydrology, biological resources, etc.) for the area. These data are to be integrated with the cultural resources identified (or their absence) within the project area as appropriate.

5.	Contacting the MoDOT Historical Bridge Coordinator for additional data on bridges, including information on potential National Register of Historic Places (NHRP) eligible bridge resources, and other data.

TASK 3 - FIELD INVESTIGATIONS

1.	Architectural investigations will be completed to identify and document all architectural resources (i.e., buildings, structures, objects, ruins, and districts/landscapes) within the project area and the area of potential effect as has been determined by MoDOT.

a)	All architectural resources within the job limits and the area of potential effect shall be photographed. Photographs shall minimally be 3 1/2" x 5" in size and mounted on plates for inclusion in the memo/report or otherwise inserted into the document. Each plate or figure shall bear a reference number linking it to a master map of architectural resources and an appropriate legend including the direction of view. Multiple views are required for all properties for which the Missouri Office of Historic Preservation's Architectural/Historic Inventory Survey Form is submitted.

b)	The Missouri Office of Historic Preservation's Architectural/Historic Inventory Survey Form shall be completed for all buildings on properties where one or more buildings are greater than fifty years old. Forms shall also be completed for properties less than fifty years old that can reasonably be considered significant under Criterion G or other related criteria where the fifty-year guideline may be waived.

c)	Site plans of all properties, which have Architectural/Historic Inventory Survey Forms and contain two or more buildings shall be compiled. These plans may be derived from aerial photographs, construction plans, other plans, or professionally drafted sketch maps. The buildings must be identified and keyed to any text descriptions and any photographs.

d)	A recommendation of eligibility must be made and include the criteria of eligibility which apply to that resource. Justification for the conclusion, along with the eligible resources' boundaries, and a determination of the project's effects on said resource, shall be presented for each resource in the area of potential effect.

2.	Historic bridge investigations will be completed to identify and document all bridge resources (i.e., highway, railroad and pedestrian bridges, viaducts and culverts, excluding metal, plastic and reinforced concrete pipes) located within the job limits and area of potential effect.

a)	All bridge resources within the job limits and the area of potential effect shall be photographed. Photographs shall minimally be 3½-inch by 5-inch in size and mounted on plates for inclusion in the memo/report or otherwise inserted into the document. Photographs shall include at least one shot each of the entire structure from the side or at an angle, superstructure, substructure, roadway, the bridge nameplate, or identification number, and any unusual details, areas of damage, or embellishments. Each plate or figure shall bear a reference number linking it to a master map of bridge resources that indicates all locations. The plates shall include the route number, MoDOT Job Number, MoDOT bridge number (or field number if there is no MoDOT bridge number), and direction of view.

b)	The Missouri Office of Historic Preservation Bridge Inventory Survey Form shall be completed only for those bridge resources in Clayton Fraser’s July 15, 1996 Revised Summary Listing and for bridge resources otherwise considered NRHP eligible or possibly eligible.

c)	Location maps of all bridge resources that have Bridge Inventory Survey Forms shall be provided. These maps shall be derived from USGS Quadrangle Maps. Bridge resources must be identified and keyed to MoDOT bridge numbers (or field numbers if there are no MoDOT numbers), and to the photographs.

d)	A recommendation of eligibility must be made and include the criteria of eligibility which apply to that resource. A justification for that conclusion, and a determination of the project’s effects on said resource, shall be presented for each bridge resource in the job limits and area of potential effect.

3.	The CONSULTANT will complete a full Phase I archaeological survey for the project area. Unless otherwise identified, the area of potential effect for archaeological resources shall be confined to properties, which are or will be owned by MoDOT or regulated by MoDOT through permanent or temporary easements.

a)	Through consultation with the engineering CONSULTANT, the cultural resources sub-consultant will identify the general depth of ground disturbance activities that are anticipated throughout various areas of the project limits.

b)	Pedestrian survey shall be conducted of the project area. Previously recorded sites are to be re-evaluated.

c)	Survey methodologies are to be concordant with the nature of the project's impact to potential deposits (e.g. deep testing may not be appropriate in areas to be elevated through the importation of fill materials but would be appropriate in areas to be cut or the locations of bridge bents, ditches, water retention structures, etc.).

d)	Deep testing (auger tests, core drills, backhoe trenches) sufficient to detect buried cultural deposits within the vertical extent of project impacts or documentation that buried cultural deposits are unlikely to be present (prior disturbance, recent landforms, etc.) is required. Sampling of the job limits is permissible, expected, and should target areas of deep project impacts.

e)	Determine the impact, if any, that the project will have on all identified sites.

f)	Site boundaries, when possible, are to be determined. When a site extends out of the project area, an estimate of its extent based on surface walk over (if possible) or landscape features should be made and identified as such.

g)	A recommendation of eligibility must be made and include the criteria of eligibility which apply to that resource where appropriate. A justification for that conclusion shall be presented for each archaeological site in the job limits.

TASK 4 – REPORTING RESULTS

HPP has developed a Section 106 Survey Memo (MO 780-1718) that may be used to report the results of cultural resources investigations. This form may be submitted in lieu of a Phase I cultural resources survey report, although enough relevant information needs to be presented to adequately explain the results of the investigations and the subsequent recommendation. Consult with MoDOT cultural resources staff if there is a question whether a memo or a report should be produced. If it is determined that a report is required to adequately explain the investigations, the Section 106 Survey Memo should be attached to the front of the report as a summary sheet.

1.	Consultation with MoDOT staff following the completion of the survey for preliminary NRHP evaluations for each identified archaeological site is recommended.

2.	The CONSULTANT shall prepare an integrated Section 106 Survey Memo or Phase I cultural resources report that meets or exceeds professional standards and incorporates the archaeology, architecture, and bridge resources. The memo/report will include the results of the background and field investigations as described above. The memo/report shall also minimally include a discussion of survey methodologies, constraints on field investigations, descriptions of all cultural resources including discussion and analysis of artifacts, historic contexts, regional or local architectural trends, as appropriate. The memo/report will also include recommendations regarding either the need for additional investigation or the NRHP eligibility for each resource.

3.	The CONSULTANT shall provide two copies of the draft memo/report to MoDOT for review. If substantial revisions are required, the memo/report shall be returned to the CONSULTANT for revision; the CONSULTANT for these revisions can bill no additional costs. MoDOT will forward the initial or revised memo/report to the HPP for their concurrence with the recommendations. If MoDOT and the CONSULTANT cannot agree upon the resource recommendations, the memo/report will be submitted with the CONSULTANT's recommendations, with MoDOT presenting its recommendations in a cover letter. Following HPP's concurrence with the recommendations, the final version of the memo/report shall be transmitted to MoDOT: two copies if just the Section 106 Survey Memo; seven additional copies, with two of the copies to be unbound, if a Phase I cultural resources report is produced.

TIMELINES

1.	Upon receipt of the draft memo/report by the Cultural Resources Section, MoDOT shall respond to the primary CONSULTANT with any request for revisions within fifteen days.

2.	The primary CONSULTANT shall have fifteen days upon receipt of MoDOT's comments to respond and provide a revised memo/report.

3.	MoDOT shall forward any comments made by the HPP to the primary CONSULTANT within five days of receipt.

4.	The CONSULTANT or sub-consultant shall respond to those comments as deemed appropriate by MoDOT within fifteen days.

5.	Following concurrence with the Phase I cultural resources recommendations by the HPP, the CONSULTANT or sub-consultant shall provide the remaining copies to MoDOT within thirty days of being notified that the HPP has accepted the findings and recommendations of the memo/report.

(The following is a sample " narrative " about the project. It is not an official part of the contract. It should be given to the consultant at the kickoff meeting.)

Route 67

St. Louis County

Job No. J6U0750

PROJECT SUMMARY

This project consists of widening and rehabilitating the existing pavement on Route 67 to meet the needs of the current and anticipated levels of traffic on this roadway.

This roadway was widened to a 52 foot four lane section in the mid 1960's. Shortly thereafter, our Maintenance and Traffic Department restriped this roadway to provide a narrow 52 foot five lane section. The roadway is 62 feet wide at most signalized intersections, and in some areas where private development was required to widen under permit.

A study was done in 1988 to determine ways to handle the excessive traffic that a typical five-lane roadway is not capable of handling. One alternate, which was flatly rejected, was to close the median, and provide lefts turns at specific locations, with U-turn ramps. Another idea was to provide a seven-lane section, which has never been done on a MoDOT route. This was also rejected, and the project was put on the back burner until something could be decided.

The Lynn Haven overpass was completed in 1991, and provided a seven-lane section up to Flamingo Drive on the northbound side, and to Coachway on the southbound side. Route 67 was resurfaced in 1993.

Since the Cold Water Creek Floodplain extends along and into a considerable portion of Route 67 right of way, the extent of possible floodplain infringement will need to be studied. This needs to be done to determine the exact extent of the floodplain, and if any and/or how much work can be done within its limits etc.

Since two earlier plans were studied and rejected, this project will begin at the conceptual level. The plans that were rejected in the past should not automatically be excluded from consideration. We want all ideas out on the table, and ideas should be ruled out based on data. Excessive right of way costs should be a factor, as should the level of service. We are interested in innovative ideas to move traffic through this area. In addition to any alternatives the Consultant may have, the following items should all be closely studied: signal coordination; traffic management systems; signal installation or removal; entrance removals and combinations; side road geometrics, removals and combinations with entrances etc. It is generally felt that five lanes will not provide the capacity for the current and anticipated amount of traffic. However, data will need to be obtained in order to rule out this option.

The CONSULTANT shall consider the consequences of the proposed improvements, and the requirements of MoDOT under ISTEA. For example, if additional lanes are required, will an alternative analysis need to be done, along with an air quality enhancement study etc. This shall be addressed in the Conceptual Plan Report Phase.

We require the CONSULTANT to review the costs and consequences involved with combining entrances, side roads, etc. to limit the number of access points to Route 67, and possibly include this as a general design concept, with some general guidelines as to when an entrance can be eliminated, combined with an adjacent property owner's entrance, etc.

The project is currently classified as an open ended categorical exclusion (CE2). We want the CONSULTANT to identify possible environmental concerns, so that the Commission can complete the proper forms and investigate and clear any environmental issues.

All plan phases shall be done using current English (metric) standards.

We will periodically require construction estimate updates, at a minimum of every six months, based on the latest design.

If the final design conclusion shows a large number of parcels, the CONSULTANT should recommend the pros and cons of letting the project in phases, taking right of way acquisition into account.

Traffic control will require handling traffic over the existing pavement. General traffic control standards should suffice for temporary lane closures. We will require all work be done during off peak hours, possibly requiring nighttime operations only. We will supply some standard drawings for traffic control to be inserted into the plans.

We will require regular monthly meetings with the CONSULTANT to review progress and further iron out design details etc.
