Execution Copy <br />During the design phase, LTD will defer to the City on the following design issues, subject to <br />approval by ODIOT for any right-of--way within the City but subject to ODOT's jurisdiction: <br />1. ,'Lay-out and placement of all transit improvements and structures within the public right-of- <br />way; <br />2. 'Traffic signal software and hardware; <br />3. !Design of all sidewalks, bicycles lanes and crosswalks; <br />4. 'Landscaping and street trees; <br />S. Technical requirements and standards for all construction in or affecting the right-of--way; <br />and <br />6. ~ Impact to utilities and other infrastructure within the right-of-way. <br />I <br />D. Budget Process. <br />The estimated cost of construction of the Project shall be assessed at least three times during the <br />design phase. host estimates prepared by the Design Consultants shall be reviewed to determine whether <br />the Project can'be constructed within the Project budget. Cost estimates maybe made more frequently or <br />to address newly discovered changes in conditions. LTD and the City will work collaboratively toreview <br />the Project cos estimate and identify possible changes to the design or budget. After each cost review, if <br />the conshuctio estimate exceeds the construction budget for the Project, LTD shall have authority to make <br />changes to the roject which are consistent with the Conceptual Design. Where a proposed change to the <br />+~ Project is incor~istent with the Conceptual Design, the parties will collaborate in the use ofvalue engineering <br />fiw to redesign thelProject. <br />E. Management of Design Team. <br />A desi~n team composed of architects, engineers, and other needed disciplines ("Design Team")will <br />be engaged by LTD to prepare the final plans and specifications for the design. City technical services may <br />also be used ta, accomplish some of these tasks as outlined in section F. Though the direct management of <br />the design team will rest with LTD, LTD will assure that the final design is produced in accordance with the <br />design mutuall'~'y established by LTD and the City under Subpart II.C, and the final design for all parts of the <br />Project for which the City has primary design control will be subject to approval by the City prior to <br />submission to the PEPI Process. Design coordination will be at the aesthetic, policy and the technical levels. <br />Significant Changes will be referred to the Eugene Planning Commission. <br />F. LTD l~'ayment for City Engineering Services. <br />The C7ty will have an opportunity to offer a proposal to provide design services, under contract to <br />LTD, for the ..sections of the Project within the City. If LTD accepts the City's proposal, a sepazate <br />intergovernmental agreement defining the scope of work and fees encompassed by the accepted proposal <br />shall be negotiated and signed prior to the City providing any reimbursable design services. <br />G.
