Task 1. Develop a research plan and detailed report outline. The consultant will conduct background research and develop a complete research plan that includes all relevant laws, regulations, and guidance necessary to complete this study. The outline should be about 10-15 pages and contain sufficient detail to inform the committee of what a 75-100-page report will contain. This outline should contain the number of pages for each proposed section or subsection. The consultant will submit this material to the committee for consideration. Task 2. Conduct research. After approval of the work plan, the consultant should conduct additional research and case and statutory/regulatory analysis. Task 3. Submit a draft report in accordance with the approved work plan (including modifications required by TCRP). Task 4. Submit a final report. The consultant should anticipate making two revisions to the report before it is finalized. One revision may be required after review by TCRP staff and members of a subcommittee. Final revisions may be necessary after the full committee has reviewed the report.
