A~ swift review and processing of this <br />application are essential to ensure that we are able to develop a workable project within time lines that <br />are being established by the General Services Administration. As you know, we have obtained a <br />Transportation. and Community and System Preservation (TCSP) grant from the Federal Highway <br />Administration (FHWA) to fund the Preliminary Engineering portion of the project development. <br />We intend to utilize a portion of this funding to contract with a consultant(s) to assist us with <br />development of the necessary documentation demonstrating compliance with the National <br />Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); the traffic impact analysis; and preliminary design of proposed <br />roadway improvements. As you had suggested, we have discussed the draft prospectus with Brian <br />Bauman, Area 5/Region 2 Environmental staff and Tom Boyatt, Area 5/Region 2 Planner for assistance <br />with portions of the Part 3. We are also coordinating with ODFW and LRAPA for their water and air <br />quality expertise. <br />I would like to thank you for your assistance and. again emphasize that time is of the essence in the <br />review and programming of this project. Please feel free to contact Gale Mills, my project manager for <br />this effort, directly at (541) 682-6854 or by a-mail at Gale.L.Mills(a~ci.eu>rene.or.us with any questions <br />or comments on this submission. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ <br />Mark Schoening, P.E. <br />City Engineer <br />ca Kurt Corey <br />Gale Mills <br />Chris Henry <br />Gary McNeel <br />Dave Reinhard <br />
