or repairs, geometric improvements, structure repairs or replacements, and safety improvements.
Phase I work will include preparation of an Abbreviated Project Report, conducting route surveys,
proposed alternative design, crash analysis, and review of roadway geometry, maintenance of
traffic, potential safety improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. Utility
coordination, analysis of maintenance of traffic, preliminary cost estimates, preparing plan, profile
and cross section sheets, a pavement design and life cycle cost analysis, and location drainage
study will be needed along with all other work necessary to complete the Phase I report. The

may include preparing roadway plans, preparing structure plans, identifying utility conflicts and
relocations, preparing roadway and structure geotechnical reports, preparing detailed staging and
traffic control plans, participating in local agency and/or public coordination, providing quantities
