• <br />3. Vehicle selection, consistent with the LTD Board resolution approved on September 20, <br />2000. <br />During the design phase, LTD will defer to the City on the following design issues, subject to <br />approval by ODOT 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 />5. 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 />D. Budget Process. <br />The estimated cost of construction of the Project shall be assessed at least three times during <br />the design phase. Cost estimates prepared by the Design Consultants shall be reviewed to <br />determine whether the Project can- be constructed within the Project budget. ' Cost estimates may <br />be made more frequently or to address newly discovered changes in conditions. LTD and the City <br />will work collaboratively to review the Project cost estimate and identify possible changes to the <br />design or budget. After each cost review, if the construction estimate exceeds the construction <br />budget for the Project, LTD shall have authority to make changes to the Project which are <br />consistent with the Conceptual Design. Where a proposed change to the Project is inconsistent <br />with the Conceptual Design, the parties will collaborate in the use of value engineering to redesign <br />the Project. <br />E. Management of Design Team. <br />A design team composed of architects, engineers, and other needed disciplines ("Design <br />Team") will be engaged by LTD to prepare the final plans and specifications for the design. City <br />technical services may also be used to accomplish some of these tasks as outlined in section E. <br />Though the direct management of the.design team will rest with LTD, LTD will assure that the final <br />design is produced in accordance with the design mutually established by LTD and the City under <br />Subpart II.C, and the final design for all parts of the Project for which the City has primary design <br />control will be subject to approval by the City prior to submission to the PER Process. Design <br />coordination will be at the aesthetic, policy and the technical levels. Significant Changes will be <br />referred to the Eugene Planning Commission. <br />F. LTD Payment for City Engineering Services. <br />The City will have an opportunity to offer a proposal to provide design services, under contract <br />to LTD, for the sections of the Project within the City. If LTD accepts the City's proposal, a <br />separate intergovernmental agreement defining the scope of work and fees encompassed by the <br />accepted proposal shall be negotiated and signed prior to the City providing any reimbursable <br />design services. <br />Eugene-LTD IGA for Bus Rapid Transit Page 3 of <br />
